FROM: Kevin Rohani, P.E., Public Works Director/City Engineer SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to execute a Construction Agreement with Campanella Corporation for the Abatement of Asbestos and Demolition of Oakley Senior Center Building Project, Capital Improvement Project (CIP) Number 330
Background and Analysis
The City’s adopted Fiscal Year (FY) 2024/25 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget designates funding for various infrastructure repair and replacement projects.
This is consistent with the City’s strategic goals to improve the quality of the City’s public infrastructure and to enhance the quality of life for our residents.
The existing Oakley Senior Center building is a facility that was constructed decades ago and originally used as a Fire Station before the incorporation of City of Oakley.
After the Fire Department moved operations to new facilities, the building was vacant for a number of years and subsequently used for senior services as the Oakley Senior Center.
As part of the restructuring City operations and after several meetings and discussions, the City of Oakley is taking over the senior programming for the community at a remodeled facility for the seniors at the Oakley Recreation site. With the moving of seniors to the Oakley Recreation site, the current building is no longer needed and will be demolished.
Staff worked with consultants to prepare an asbestos assessment of this building and prepared a report that is needed by demolition contractors prior to the actual demolition of the building. Staff then solicited bids from demolition and abatement contractors to demolish and dispose of the existing Senior Center Building and received one (1) bid from Campanella Corporation in the amount of $95,000.00 for this project.
This demolition will take place in the month of May, after the seniors have been relocated to their new location at Oakley Recreation site.
Consistency with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+
The approval of this agreement is consistent with the Oakley Strategic Plan under our Community Health and Safety Goal.

The City’s adopted Fiscal Year (FY) 2024/25 Capital Improvement Program Budget designates funding for various infrastructure repair and replacement projects. This is consistent with the City of Oakley’s Strategic Plan to improve the quality of the City’s public infrastructure and to enhance the quality of life for our residents.
Capital Improvement Project No. 311 includes the repair and replacement of damaged and uplifted sidewalks or curb and gutter throughout the City of Oakley. The project is done annually to eliminate trip and fall hazards, and to provide safe streets and sidewalks for pedestrians in the community. Tree roots are a major cause of sidewalk uplifts, and this project is targeting some of the worst areas in the City where tree roots have damaged the concrete beyond any temporary repair.
Additionally, this project will work in coordination with the adopted 50-50 Concrete Repair Cost Share Program that helps the property owners in dealing with concrete curb, gutter, and sidewalk related problems, such as uplifts from tree root overgrowth.
The 50-50 Concrete Repair Cost Share Program provides the City with assistance in managing the repair and replacement contract, as well as sharing the cost with the property owners. This project will help in providing safe pedestrian facilities and reduce liability and claims for trip and fall accidents.
On March 20, 2025, nine (9) total bids were received for this project. Staff reviewed the bids and determined that Franco Engineering, Inc. was the lowest responsible bidder for the project at a cost of $106,070.00.
Consistency with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+
This item is consistent with the Strategic Plan 27+ Community Health and Safety goals.

Staff Recommendation
Staff recommend that the City Council adopt the resolution approving a construction agreement with Franco Engineering Inc., for an amount not to exceed $106,070.00, and to authorize the City Manager to execute the said agreement.
Additionally, due to variables associated with construction projects, and to address unforeseen circumstances during the course of construction, staff further recommends that the City Council authorize staff to execute future change orders to the construction contract as necessary in an amount not to exceed $20,000 for work beyond what is defined in the base project bid.

FROM: Kevin Rohani, P.E., Public Works Director/City Engineer SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Consulting Services Agreement with BKF Engineers, Inc. to Provide Engineering Design Services for Capital Improvement Project (CIP) Number 320 – O’Hara Avenue Widening Project (600’ south of Laurel Road to 300’ south of Grapevine Lane)
Background and Analysis
The City’s adopted Fiscal Year (FY) 2024/25 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) designates funding for various infrastructure repair and replacement projects. This is consistent with the City’s Strategic Goals to improve the quality of the City’s public infrastructure and to enhance the quality of life for our residents.
O’Hara Avenue is a major arterial street in Oakley and a key component of the City’s transportation network, in addition to being a north/south connection to the City of Brentwood. The improvements and widening of O’Hara Avenue have been a priority for the City of Oakley.
The City’s CIP included CIP Project No. 280 to widen Laurel Road from Cloverbrook Avenue to O’Hara Avenue and to widen O’Hara Avenue from Laurel Road to approximately 600’ south of the Laurel Road intersection. This project is currently under construction and its completion is anticipated by fall 2025.
The next section of O’Hara Avenue that needs widening is from the end of the CIP 280 project to connect to the newly widened and improved O’Hara Avenue 300’ south of Grapevine Lane that was constructed as part of a private development project.
Staff have selected BKF Engineers Inc. as the best suited firm to design this important infrastructure improvement project. This firm has designed the CIP 280 project successfully and has great familiarity with the City’s standards and processes. Staff negotiated the final scope of the design work and cost proposal at a cost of $174,148, which is very competitive pricing for such a project in the current market and shows BKF Engineers Inc.’s commitment to the Oakley community and its capital projects.
The design of this project will be performed during FY 2025/26 and the construction is anticipated to take place during FY 2026/27

Subject: CIP #320 – O’Hara Avenue Widening Project (600’ south of Laurel Road to 300’ south of Grapevine Lane)
Dear Mr. Rohani:
BKF Engineers welcomes the opportunity to submit this proposal and letter for design services for CIP #320, O’Hara Avenue Widening Project (600’ south of Laurel Road to 300’ south of Grapevine Lane). To arrive at the estimated effort, we have outlined a proposed scope of services, identified assumptions, and determined a level of effort fee based on our understanding of the Project.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Based on your email dated 3/19/2025 and information obtained from the City, we understand the Project as:
The Project proposes to widen O’Hara Avenue 600’ south of Laurel Road to 300’ south of Grapevine Lane. The roadway work will also include sidewalk gap closure, drainage improvements, utility relocation, signing and striping, and street lighting. No landscaping or irrigation services are anticipated.
At the south end on the project, O’Hara Avenue has been widened and fully constructed to the development project limits, along Laurel Road to 300’ south of Grapevine Lane. The CIP #320 Project will extend along O’Hara Ave at the south end of project, connection to the completed CIP #280 at the north end. There is limited right of way within this segment of the project with only room for the curb, gutter, and standard sidewalk at back of curb - no meandering sidewalk.
The scope of the CIP #320 project will include performing the ROW research to mark the right of way line on the plans and in the field. The scope will also include staking the ROW in the field.
Additionally, the scope of work includes coordination with the property owner (the house) at end of CIP #280 for identification of the new right of way line.
Design for this project will start this summer and end early next year (2026) with construction commencing in fall 2026.
BASIS OF DESIGN
Our proposal is based on the following:
1. CIP #280 Contract - Laurel Road Widening (O’Hara Ave to Cloverbrook Ave) 24 March 31, 2025
SCOPE OF SERVICES
TASK 1: PROJECT MANAGEMENT
1. Project Management: BKF’s Project Manager, Marcelo Cosentino, will be responsible for managing the project team, providing the resources to complete the job, monitoring and updating the Project budget and schedule, implementing a quality assurance/quality control program and communicating regularly with the City staff.
2. Project Kick-off and Coordination Meetings: BKF has budgeted up to a maximum of twenty (20) combined staff hours to attend meetings, participate in conference calls and coordinate response to comments. Anticipated meetings include internal coordination, City coordination, and design review meetings.
TASK 2: DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
1. Obtain/Review Existing Data, As-builts: BKF will contact the City and utility owners (water, sewer, storm, gas, communications and power) companies that serve have utilities within the Project limits. We will gather the available record drawings and/or block maps to depict the record location of the utilities superimposed onto the existing topographic survey. BKF will compile available street as-builts and right of way record maps to supplement the topographic base drawing.
2. Site Investigations: BKF will visit the site to review the existing site constraints and conditions. We will note any potential challenges for the project improvements and confirm our scope of survey services to support the design process. BKF will document each site visit with notes and photo logs.
3. Establish Boundary/Project Control: BKF will prepare a resolved boundary for the Project. This work will include monument found in the field, research into record maps and county records. Boundary mapping will be shown on the Project control drawing. Additionally, BKF will stake out the new right of way boundary in the field to assist in the coordination between the City and property owners.
4. Topographic Field Survey: BKF will provide the field work to prepare a Topographic Map for the Project.
The topographic survey will be comprised of identified visible site features such as roadways, pavements, evidence of significant traveled ways, walls, fences, trees 9-inches and larger in diameter and visual utility infrastructure. The Project will utilize City benchmarks for the horizontal and vertical datums. a. Utilities - Utility infrastructure within the mapping limits, including sewer, water valves, hydrants, meter boxes, storm drain and marked utilities, if encountered during the course of our field survey, will also be identified. The basic routing, inverts and orientation of the on-site gravity utilities will be identified based on field evidence and any available plans provided if to BKF prior to commencement of the survey. If as-built drawings are not provided or are inconclusive when compared to the field evidence, only data at the dipped structures will be provided.
5. Aerial Survey/Control: BKF will obtain aerial topographic mapping of the site. The aerial topographic map will be in in digital AutoCAD format and will be used as the background for all project plans and exhibits.
a. The mapping is anticipated to be compiled at 1” = 20’, and will also indicate individual spot elevations at various locations throughout the site. BKF will take a series of photographs for future reference and documentation of current field conditions encountered during the time of our survey.
25 March 31, 2025
6. Utility Investigations and Coordination: BKF will prepare a potholing plan for concurrence by the City and work with a potholing contractor to perform utility investigation. This level of effort will minimize construction costs and ensure the correct placement of the proposed improvements. BKF will update the utility base mapping with the pothole information. BKF’s current proposal assumes up to 5 potholes.
BKF will provide coordination with utility owners for relocation of facilities in conflict with the proposed improvements. We will coordinate with the City and verify that the proposed plan conforms to existing conditions, boundary, and site constraints. We will also work with the City and AT&T for relocation of overhead utilities with pole(s) on the east side of O’Hara Avenue.
7. Design Concept Exhibit: BKF will prepare a concept exhibit to be used as the basis of design for the 65% submittal. The concept exhibit will show the proposed Project geometry, including lane configuration, medians, crosswalks, curb ramps, sidewalks, driveways and landscape areas. The existing and proposed right of way will also be defined on the exhibit.
TASK 3: CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS
Based on comments received on the concept exhibit, BKF will develop Plans, Specifications and Estimate (PS&E) documents for the project. BKF will further progress the design with each submittal to ensure that backgrounds, utility points of connection, accessible paths of travel, and stormwater treatment areas are designed and detailed to the level required by the contractor to bid and construct.
BKF will provide design (PS&E) submittals at the 60% and 100% level of completion. The 60% submittal will become the backbone of the Project and define all major elements of the design. The 100% submittal will finalize the project design and resolve all comments and coordination from the 60% submittal, design development and utility relocations.
1. Plans: For each design submittal, BKF will prepare the following plans sheets in progressive levels of detail:
• Title Sheet: This plan will include the Project title, vicinity map, location map, drawing index, abbreviations and signature block.
• General Notes: This plan will include the City standard notes, project notes and applicable utility notes.
• Project Control: This plan will define the project horizontal and vertical control, control point information and roadway alignment.
• Key Map: To provide overall limit of work, the key map will identify the limits of work for each plan sheet.
• Typical Cross Sections: Typical cross sections will be develop for the proposed improvements along the Laurel Road and O’Hara Avenue alignments. These sections will show the limits of existing roadway conditions, and the width, dimensions and configuration of the proposed improvements including right of way, curb and gutter, pavement structural sections and pedestrian areas. • Demolition Plan: BKF will evaluate the existing facilities impacted by the proposed improvements. The evaluation shall include existing conditions, unusual/special conditions and conform edge conditions for the proposed work. The demolition plan will show existing sidewalk, curb and gutter to be removed, roadway excavation, common excavation and conform grind areas.
Additionally, facilities to be protected in place will be identified. Existing utility information will be shown as background information.
26 March 31, 2025
• Site Plan: The site plan will be prepared showing the limits and scope of the proposed improvements.
Plan sheets will include horizontal layout information and identify all major construction features including areas of reconstruction and limits of conform. The plan will include references to details for the proposed work. Site plan will also show location of new lighting. Spacing for roadway lighting will be based on the existing spacing for lights along O’Hara Avenue. • Grading and Drainage Plan: This plan will be prepared to show the proposed elevations and drainage facilities for the proposed site improvements along Laurel Road and O’Hara Avenue. Grading information will include pavement, curb, gutter and sidewalk elevations at key points and along even intervals along the Project alignments. Drainage information will include location, facility type, surface and invert elevations, and slopes for the proposed drainage facilities. Drainage profiles will be provided for new segments of pipes.
• Construction Details: Details will be provided as necessary to guide the Contractor on special conditions related to the project improvements. This plan will include City and utility owner standard details, and custom details for the project. Each driveway will have a breakout detail for the layout, grading and other pertinent information.
• Pavement Delineation and Sign Plan: BKF will prepare pavement delineation and sign plan based on the approved concept design for the project.
• Stage Construction Plans: BKF will prepare stage construction plans for the Project to show how vehicular and pedestrian traffic are managed during construction. • Utility Plan: This plan will summarize existing utilities and proposed utility relocations for the project.
Existing utilities will be protected, adjusted, removed or relocated. Utility relocations will be coordinated with the utility owners and appropriate details/notes will be included.
2. Specifications: BKF will prepare Parts 1, 2 and 3 of the Specifications using City standard format for all work items necessary for the construction of the project. BKF will assemble the Technical Specifications and appropriate City Special Provisions for locally funded Projects. The specifications will be included with each design submittal.
3. Estimate: BKF will prepare a Construction Cost Estimate to ensure that the magnitude of cost corresponds to the Project budget. The estimate will be prepared using present-day dollars; escalation costs will not be applied. The Construction Cost Estimate will be updated for each design submittal.
4. Quality Control: Based on BKF’s in-house Quality Management Plan (QMP), we will perform an in-house QA/QC review of all submittal documents prior to delivery to the City. BKF’s quality control review will include both a discipline and interdisciplinary review of the design package for coordination among the various design elements.

TO: Joshua McMurray, City Manager
FROM: Ken Strelo, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Approval of a Resolution to increase the not to exceed amount on a Consulting Services Agreement between the City of Oakley and TRB and Associates, Inc. for “on-call” plan review services for Fiscal Year 2024/2025
Background and Analysis
The City of Oakley is under contract with TRB and Associates, Inc. (“TRB”) to conduct building code compliance plan reviews for certain residential, commercial and industrial projects which the City issues building permits. The types of plans typically reviewed by TRB includes commercial development projects, master plan drawings for residential projects, and large-scale tenant improvements. The original contract with TRB for fiscal year 2024/2025, approved by City Council Resolution 102-24, was for an amount not to exceed $100,000. Due to an uptick in large development plan checks, such as the Oakley Shops at Laurel Fields (Safeway) center, the City of Oakley included an increase of $50,000 to the expenditure line item used to pay TRB. This budget amendment was approved by the City Council as part of the mid-year budget.
Staff is now requesting the City Council also approve an increase of $50,000 to the current not to exceed contract amount of $100,000 for a total contract not to exceed amount of $150,000 to match the increase in the budget line item. Since the not to exceed amount of $100,000 was only included as part of the City Council’s original approval of the agreement and TRB’s scope of work only includes their plan review fees and hourly billing rates, approving an increase of the not to exceed amount is sufficient to proceed with the existing contract without requiring authorization for the City Manager to execute a separate contract amendment.
All expenditures used to pay TRB are funded by developer impact fees. While the City attempts to accurately estimate the TRB contract budget amount based on estimated building permit fee revenue prior to the start of each fiscal year, an increase in the budget amount does not mean there is a decrease in other budget line items, rather it means an increase in City revenue directly tied to those expenditures used to pay TRB. When there is more than estimated revenue collected on building permits, there is more plan review work done by TRB. This results in higher monthly invoices from TRB; hence, the approved increase in the applicable budget line item and contract in order to process the invoices.
Approved and
Forwarded to the
City Council

Consistency with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+
This item is consistent with the Strategic Plan 27+ Community and Economic Growth, Community Health and Safety, and Sustainable Organization Goals.
Fiscal Impact
Approval of the resolution will approve an increase of $50,000 to the original not to exceed amount of $100,000 originally approved as part of the professional services agreement with TRB and Associates, Inc. for a total not to exceed amount of $150,000 for Fiscal Year 2024/2025. Development building permit fees will fund the services on an as needed basis. There will not be any City General Funds used in this contract.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution approving an increase of an additional $50,000 to the original not to exceed amount of $100,000 to the Professional Services Agreement with TRB and Associates, Inc. for “On-Call” Plan Review services for Fiscal Year 2024/2025.

SUBJECT: Planning and Zoning Work Session 2025 – Work Session to discuss three topics related to Planning and Zoning: 1) Short-term rentals in the Downtown Specific Plan; 2) Allowability of 4-H livestock program activities in the City of Oakley; and 3) Inclusionary housing policy.
Summary
This is a work session on requests made by the City Council at previous meetings to discuss three separate topics related to Planning and Zoning as follows: 1) ShortTerm Rentals (“STR”) in the Downtown Specific Plan (“DSP”); 2) Allowability of 4-H activities in the City of Oakley; and 3) Inclusionary housing policy.
Background and Discussion
REQUESTS FOR FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS
Every regular City Council meeting includes an agenda item for Councilmembers to request items to be placed on future agendas. If a motion is made and is seconded by at least one other Councilmember, the item will be scheduled on a future agenda.
The three topics to be discussed in this work session were requested for future agenda items as follows:
• Discussion on Short-Term Rentals in the Downtown Area (Motion: Meadows; Second: Williams; Meeting Date: 2/28/2025);
• Discussion on where 4-H type livestock is allowed/not allowed within City zoning (Motion: Fuller; Second: Shaw/Williams; Meeting Date: 10/8/2024); • Discussion on Inclusionary Housing Policy (Motion: Williams; Second: Fuller; Meeting Date: 9/10/2024).
SHORT-TERM RENTALS
Short-term rentals are commonly associated with rental of a room or residence through an online marketplace such as AirBNB or VRBO. The operation of ShortTerm Rentals (“STR”) within the City of Oakley is governed by Oakley Municipal Code (“OMC”) chapter 5.15. That ordinance defines a “Short-term rental unit” as “…an accessory use of a privately owned residential dwelling, such as, but not limited to, a single-family dwelling or multiple-family building, apartment unit, condominium, or duplex, for the purposes of providing temporary lodging, for compensation, for periods of thirty (30) consecutive days or fewer. Any dwelling unit Approved and

used as a short-term rental unit shall be considered a "hotel" for the purposes of Chapter 3.2 related to uniform transient occupancy tax.” OMC section 5.15.116 (Operational Requirements and Standard Conditions) part “h” states “The short-term rental shall be a hosted rental for the duration of any occupancy by a transient.” “Hosted stay” means a short-term rental unit where the owner remains on site throughout the guest’s stay (except during daytime and/or work hours) (OMC section 5.15.106 (Definitions) part “e”). The ordinance also prohibits “vacation rentals”, which is defined as a short-term rental unit that is not an owner’s primary residence (OMC section 5.15.106, part “n”).
In summary, the City of Oakley allows owners to apply for a Short-Term Rental Permit subject to the permit only being valid for hosted stays in owner occupied residences. In the event the owner will not be physically present in the home during daytime and/or working hours, the ordinance requires they be available 24 hours per day, seven days per week for the purposes of responding within 60 minutes to complaints regarding the condition, operation, or conduct of occupants of the shortterm rental unit or their guests (OMC section 5.15.118 (Operations) part “a”).
There are currently no special circumstances for short-term rentals located within Downtown Oakley, which is governed by the Downtown Specific Plan. All regulations that apply to short-term rentals apply equally across all zoning districts, including specific plan areas.
ALLOWABILITY OF 4-H LIVESTOCK PROGRAMS
Oakley Municipal Code allows for the keeping of horses and livestock in the AL (Agricultural Limited) District, subject to a maximum combined number of animals based on the size of the property. The maximum number allowed is equal to one animal for the first ½ acre and one additional animal for each 10,000 square feet above ½ acre. There is also an allowance within the AL District for the temporary raising of up to three additional livestock for educational purposes for up to four months on a parcel of at least ½ acre (OMC section 9.1.402 (AL District) part “h”), subject to approval of a Temporary Use Permit. This section specifically calls out “4- H” as an example of educational purposes. The AL District is interpreted to allow the maximum number of horses and livestock for a given parcel, plus an additional three 4-H animals for up to 4 months at a time with approval of a Temporary Use Permit.
The AL District is the only zone that allows the keeping of livestock or the additional three animals for educational purposes with approval of a Temporary Use Permit.
The R-40 (Single Family Residential) District has a similar allowance as the AL District, but only for horses (no other livestock). It allows for the keeping of horses on properties zoned R-40 District at a maximum of one horse on a property of a minimum 20,000 square feet with one additional horse for each 10,000 square feet 38 STAFF REPORT
C 3 ITY HALL | 3231 Main Street, Oakley, CA 94561

above 20,000 square feet (OMC section 9.1.404 (Single-Family Residential Districts) part b.13). There is no specific allowance for the keeping of three additional horses for educational purposes in any of the Single-Family Residential Districts, including the R-40 District.
In relation to 4-H type activities, both the AL District and R-40 District allow “small farming” which consists of the keeping of animals such as fowl raised primarily for home consumption or small animals such as rabbits. The maximum number of such animals is 20 on a site of no less than one-acre for both zones and 10 for a site of at least 20,000 square feet, but less than one-acre. The R-20 District provides for the same small farming allowance as the R-40 District but does not allow for the keeping of horses.
Note: All cases above include specific regulations such as prohibiting the keeping of animals to become a nuisance to adjacent residential neighbors, minimum distances from property lines for certain small animal structures, and the keeping of horse and livestock facilities in a hygienic manner that does not create offensive odors or allow the propagation of flies or insects.
INCLUSIONARY HOUSING POLICY
An inclusionary housing policy is typically adopted by ordinance and requires new residential developments to include a certain percentage of units to be made available as affordable units to low- and moderate- income households. The main goal of an inclusionary housing ordinance is to increase the supply of affordable housing within a specific jurisdiction. Some inclusionary housing ordinances may allow alternatives to compliance like an in-lieu fee. The City of Oakley does not have an inclusionary housing policy ordinance.
A specific number of affordable units are included in each City Housing Element by what is called the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (“RHNA”). Per state law, the City is required to plan for development of all RHNA units with each update to the Housing Element. The method of satisfying RHNA is reviewed and approved by the Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) prior to their certification of the Housing Element. The City of Oakley has successfully used an Affordable Housing Overlay (“AHO”) District to zone land for future affordable housing. With the most recent Housing Element Update certified by HCD in May 2023, the City included a second method to satisfy RHNA. Per the certified Housing Element, the City will meet the RHNA requirement with a mix of AHO and straight Rezoning. That exercise is currently underway and will be presented to the Planning Commission and City Council later this year.
The main reason the City of Oakley has opted for the AHO and now straight Rezoning as opposed to an inclusionary housing policy ordinance is because while 39 STAFF REPORT

the City has many areas that remain undeveloped, in most cases, those areas have existing entitlements for development. If an inclusionary housing policy ordinance were adopted today, it would not apply to the existing approved projects that make up the thousands of units currently entitled and waiting to be constructed. This would leave few options and smaller sites on which to implement an inclusionary housing policy. In addition, if an in-lieu fee were an option, that may lead to the development of more available land without actual affordable units constructed resulting in the burden being placed on the City to find sites and construct units using the in-lieu fees. Instead, the City has opted to Rezone (or place the AHO on some sites) specific sites that would allow a minimum and maximum density per state law, thereby satisfying the City’s requirement to plan for all RHNA units.
Consistency with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+
Holding a work session on Planning and Zoning-related topics is consistent with applicable Strategic and Thoughtful Growth Objectives in the Community and Economic Goal of the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with this work session. Staff time and materials to prepare this report are covered by the General Fund.
Requested City Council Feedback The purpose of this work session is to facilitate discussion with the City Council on the three main topics. Staff will receive directions, if any, from the City Council and proceed as directed.
