intersection with Owens Drive. To do so, related modifications include adding a second northbound left-turn lane and eliminating the northbound free right-turn lane on the south side of the Hopyard Road/Owens Drive intersection. This project also includes adding a southbound bike lane to close the existing bike lane gap from the I-580 eastbound off-ramp intersection to 180 feet south of Owens Drive. The work includes new sidewalks, medians, landscaping, traffic signals, soundwalls, and repaving of the area.
The project initially started with a simple design scope for adding a dedicated southbound right-turn lane at the Hopyard Road and Owens Drive intersection; extensive bike and pedestrian improvements were not part of the original design scope. During the preliminary plan review process, Caltrans conditioned additional bike and pedestrian improvements, which extended the project limit and necessitated modifications to the existing median and landscaping. When the project was submitted to Caltrans for encroachment permit approval, Caltrans implemented its new Design Engineering Evaluation Report (DEER) process for project approval. The DEER required additional design modifications, engineering study, and analysis related to the project, which were not anticipated at the start of the project. The City requested Caltrans to waive the DEER review process for encroachment permit approval, and Caltrans declined to grant any exception to its requirements. Multiple rounds of review, design modifications, and various requirements from Caltrans impacted the project approval timeline.
Due to the construction staging and the necessity of maintaining traffic through the intersection, daytime work has limited hours. It is anticipated the majority of work will take place at night when additional lanes of traffic can be closed to accommodate construction activities.
Bids
Sealed bids for this project were opened on March 20, 2024. Three bids were submitted, ranging from $4,183,298 to $4,903,100. The low bid amount, submitted by Bay Cities Paving & Grading, Inc., in the amount of $4,183,298 is approximately 10 percent higher than the Engineer's Estimate of $3,815,876 (see Attachment 1). Staff reviewed bids and found the low bid responsive and responsible. Past work performed by the low bidder has been verified to be satisfactory. Staff recommends awarding the construction contract to Bay Cities Paving & Grading, Inc., in the amount of $4,183,298.
Consultant Services
Construction Management and Inspection Services
Swinerton Management and Consulting will provide construction management and inspection services, including the required nighttime oversight. Work within Caltrans’ right-of-way requires a resident engineer and inspector experienced with Caltrans’ standards and procedures. Due to the number of ongoing projects, it is difficult to dedicate one full-time staff member to nighttime inspection and construction management. Staff recommends awarding a professional services agreement to Swinerton Management and Consulting for the not-to- exceed amount of $308,890 for construction management and inspection services.
Designer Additional Work and Construction Support Services Consor will provide construction support services to review shop drawings and provide responses to requests for information. Additional design fees are required to cover the cost of the numerous iterations of plan changes and time spent working to meet the varying Caltrans requirements for project DEER approval and securing an encroachment permit.Staff
recommends approving a fourth amendment to the professional services agreement with Consor North America, Inc. for the not-to-exceed amount of $119,855 (for a total not-to-exceed agreement amount of $378,213).
Material Testing Services
Under an existing on-call agreement with the City, Geocon Consultants, Inc. performed soils boring and provided a geotechnical design report for the soundwall in the amount of $20,482.
Material testing services during construction will also be provided by Geocon. The testing services are required to provide specialty testing of the materials in conformance with Caltrans’ standards and the City’s Quality Assurance Program. Staff recommends awarding a professional services agreement to Geocon Consultants, Inc. for the not-to-exceed amount of $124,260 for material testing services.
Schedule
The proposed schedule for the project is:
Approval of Plans and Specifications and Award of Contract May 7, 2024 Start of Construction June 2024
End of Construction May 2025
EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
Approval of this action advances the Climate Action Plan (CAP 2.0) in Transportation and Land Use by promoting an effective transportation system with walking and bicycling.
OUTREACH
Construction notices, social media posts, and information will be posted on the City’s website prior to the start of construction. Construction message boards will be installed two weeks in advance of work on major roadways.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this action advances the Citywide ONE Pleasanton strategic plan goal of Investing in Our Environment, Strategy 1 – Implement the four-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to complete design and construction of budgeted capital projects.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total Capital Improvement Program budget allocation for the Hopyard Road and Owens Drive Intersection Improvements Project, CIP No. 15525, is $5,850,000. The anticipated total expenditure for this project is $5,702,000, leaving a balance of $148,000. Expenditures include design, construction award, contingency, support services, advertising, and other miscellaneous costs.
Dougherty Valley Mitigation Reserve, CIP No. 02523, has a reserve balance of $377,694 and collected fees from traffic impacts due to development within the City of Dublin. This project is eligible to utilize the reserve, and staff recommends exchanging Streets General Fund (Fund 211) funding with the reserve, returning the unused project balance to the fund balance to be programmed in the mid-term CIP update. The funding and anticipated project expenditures are detailed in Attachment 2.

Consultant shall forfeit fifty dollars ($50.00) for each calendar day or portion thereof for each worker paid less than the stipulated prevailing rates for any public work done under the Agreement by it or by any subconsultant.
11. Termination of Convenience of City. The City may terminate this Agreement at any time by mailing a notice in writing to Consultant.

willful misconduct of the Consultant, any Subconsultant, anyone directly or indirectly employed by them, or anyone that they control (collectively “Liabilities”) in the performance of its services under this Agreement, regardless of whether the City has reviewed or approved the work or services which has given rise to the claim, loss, cost, damage, injury or liability for damages.
This indemnification shall extend for a reasonable period of time after completion of the project as well as during the period of actual performance of services under this Agreement. The City's acceptance of the insurance certificates required under this Agreement does not relieve the Consultant from its obligation under this paragraph. To the extent that there is an obligation to indemnify under this Section 13, Consultant shall be responsible for incidental and consequential damages resulting directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from Consultant’s negligence, reckless or willful misconduct.
Such obligations to defend, hold harmless and indemnify any Indemnitee shall not apply to the extent such Liabilities are caused by the sole negligence, active negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. Obligation to defend shall be proportionate as to Consultant’s percentage of fault as provided in California Civil Code § 2782.8.

Exhibit A
Additional Scope of Work
GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF WORK
When this project was scoped, a Design Engineering Evaluation Report (DEER) was not a requirement for Caltrans Encroachment Permit. The majority of the additional scope items below were undertaken to obtain DEER approval.
PROJECT TASKS
A. Right of Way Coordination
Associated Right of Way Services, Inc. (AR/WS) provided right of way services to Consor for this project. Project services to be completed in compliance with the Caltrans Right of Way Manual. Acquisitions were for a temporary construction easement (TCE) from each parcel. See their attached scope for additional detail.
Consor provided assistance to AR/WS and the City with property owner by attending meetings with the property owners, responding to technical inquiries and verifying the limits of the TCEs.
Consor also attended multiple meetings with Caltrans Right of Way and prepared the following right of way documents for Caltrans approval that were required for the Encroachment Permit:
• Right of Way Data Sheet
• Right of Way Certification
• Right of Way Utility Certification
• Utility Policy Certification
• Notice to Owner
B. Design Engineering Evaluation Report (DEER)
B.1 DEER Report
Caltrans required a DEER to be prepared and approved in advance of accepting an Encroachment Permit application for the project. Consor prepared the report which included sections on project background, purpose and need, right of way impacts, traffic operations, maintenance, breakdown of scope and work, nonstandard structures, complete streets and other planned projects in the area.
B.2 Incorporate Caltrans and City Design Comments
The DEER was submitted for review five times. Review comments included format and content changes (added content sections) to the report, design changes to the 100% project plans that were attached to the report. During the DEER reviews, City comments on the project plans were incorporated as well. PS&E changes included:
• Signage changes (Caltrans Comment)
• Addition of water pollution control items on plans consistent with the Storm Water Data Report (Caltrans Comment)
• Consor updated the project special provisions to Caltrans 2023 format. (Caltrans Comment) • Update Caltrans 2023 Standard Plan references (Caltrans Comment) • Changes to roadway structural section (City Comment)
• Addition of nonstandard fence details (City Comment)
• Addition of aesthetics treatment to sound wall (City Comment)
• Removal of water line replacement from project (City Comment) • Detailing nonstandard street light foundation for median lighting replacement (City Comment) • Addition of parking lot improvements on private parcel (City Comment) • Addition of driveway and drainage improvements on a private parcel (City Comment) • Removal of a portion of driveway and drainage improvements on a private parcel (City Comment) • Redesign of pedestrian refuge island in SW quadrant of Hopyard/Owens intersection (City Comment)
B.3 Maintenance Agreement
An updated maintenance Agreement between the City and Caltrans was required in order to obtain an Encroachment Permit from Caltrans. Consor, supported the City to get an updated Maintenace Agreement with Caltrans by preparing updated Maintenance Agreement Exhibits.
B.4 Storm Water Data Report
When the project was scoped, only Design Pollution Prevention checklists were required to document the stormwater BMPs required for the project. For DEER approval, a full Storm Water Data Report (SWDR) was required. Consor prepared and obtained approval for the SWDR.
B.5 Quality Management Plan
For DEER projects, Caltrans requires a Quality Management Plan detailing the Quality Assurance and Quality Control processes that Consor and the City engaged in for project submittals. Consor prepared the QMP for City review and Caltrans approval.
C. Soundwall Design Approval Coordination
C.1 Modified Standard Soundwall Design
The soundwall was initially designed utilizing available geotechnical reports from adjacent developments. Based on input from the project geotechnical engineer, the seismic region of the project, the Caltrans Standard Plan Soundwall wall could not be used, and the standard wall was modified to accommodate a higher PGA and seismic earth pressure than the standard design. Consor designed the soundwall using Load Resistance Factor Design following AASHTO’s “LRFD Bridge Specifications”, Eighth Edition, with the California Amendments and other Caltrans design manuals.
Consor prepared design calculations for Caltrans review and approval and prepared the final PS&E for the modified standard soundwall. Four submittals of the sound wall calculations, plans, specs, estimate and geotechnical report were made. Consor coordinated comment responses and incorporation for the geotechnical consultant as well.
C.2 Independent Design Check
Consor performed an independent check of the soundwall by an engineer that was not previously involved in the design.
Independent check consisted of a verification of the wall design by performing independent calculations and a plan review. Based on comments made by the independent check and agreement to revisions by the checker and designer, the plans and calculations were modified before submittal to Caltrans.
D. Construction Support (Allowance)
D.1 Assistance During Bidding
Consor assisted in answering questions regarding meaning and intent of the plans and specifications during contract bidding period and will advise the City on bids received. Consor assisted with the preparation of two Addenda.
D.2 Review and Response to RFI’s
Consor will review and provide responses to questions or clarifications (RFI’s) from the Contractor or Resident Engineer, review shop drawing and material specifications as submitted by the Contractor. Up to five RFI’s are assumed.
D.3 Change Order Assistance
This task will also include revision on plans and specifications (contract change orders) as necessary due to change in condition, or as requested by the City. Up to two CCOs are assumed.
D.4 Submittal Review
It is assumed that the City’s RE or CM will review the more common civil submittals, such as for the pavement materials, signage and striping and drainage items. It Is assumed that landscaping and irrigation submittals will be handled by the City as well. Up to four submittal reviews are assumed for signal and lighting items and the sound wall materials.
D.5 Prepare Record Drawings (As-Builts)
Upon completion of project, Consor will provide record drawings per the City requirements. The record drawings will be based on mark ups from the Resident Engineer as revisions are made during construction.
D.6 Final Site Walk-Through
We will attend a final job site walk with the City to review for completion.
D.7 5% Construction Support Contingency Allowance
This is a contingency budget to only be used if needed and if approved in advance by the City.

Dear Mr. Saklaen:
In accordance with your request, we are pleased to provide this scope of work summary and fee estimate for the subject project. Included herein are a project description, scope of services outline and resultant fee estimate. We have assumed that prevailing wage requirements will apply to our field representatives on this project and work will occur at night. This scope of work summary and fee estimate has been revised to reflect changes to the project scope.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE OF SERVICES
The project will consist of constructing a southbound right-turn lane along Hopyard Road at the Owens Drive intersection, modifying the lane configurations on Hopyard Road south of Owens Drive, adding a southbound bike lane from the I-580 eastbound off-ramp intersection to south of Owens Drive, constructing a soundwall along the west side of Hopyard Road north of Owens Drive, rehabilitating existing pavements, and various improvements to sidewalks, curb and gutter, traffic signals, and storm drain facilities. A portion of the project will be constructed within the Caltrans Right-of-Way, and we understand that materials testing and inspections are to be in general conformance with Caltrans’ requirements.
We anticipate our technicians will be onsite for materials inspection and/or special inspection related to the following activities:
• Drilling of shafts for cast-in-drilled-hole piers for the soundwall. • Concrete placement for traffic signal foundations, soundwall piers, soundwall pile cap, soundwall barrier, and high-early-strength driveway pavement.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

Public Works - Engineering Division
TITLE: APPROVE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND AWARD A CONSTRUCTION
CONTRACT TO AMERICAN ASPHALT REPAIR & RESURFACING COMPANY, INC. IN THE AMOUNT OF $374,391 AND AN APPROXIMATELY 10 PERCENT CONTINGENCY OF $37,439 FOR THE ANNUAL SLURRY SEALING OF VARIOUS STREETS PROJECT, CIP NO. 24504
SUMMARY
This project applies slurry seal on 560,000 square feet of existing pavement to prolong the useful life of the existing street infrastructure while providing a safe and smooth riding condition. Slurry seal is an application of a thin coat of asphalt/aggregate slurry mixture that seals the road surface.
Bids were received on April 3, 2024, and staff recommends awarding the construction contract to the lowest responsible bidder, American Asphalt Repair & Resurfacing Company, Inc., in the amount of $374,391 and an approximately 10 percent contingency of $37,439 for the Annual Slurry Sealing of Various Streets Project, CIP No. 24504.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Approve plans and specifications and award a construction contract for the project to American Asphalt Repair & Resurfacing Co., inc., of Hayward, CA, for the low bid amount of $374,391.
2. Authorize the City Manager to enter into the project contract.
3. Authorize the Director of Public Works, or authorized staff, to approve and execute contract change orders for a project contingency amount of $37,439 (approximately 10 percent of the contract) for unforeseen yet necessary related work.
BACKGROUND
The City has two annual projects designed to maintain roadway infrastructure: the Annual Street Resurfacing and Preventative Maintenance Project and the Annual Slurry Seal of Various Streets Project. The first project resurfaces various roadways by overlaying the existing pavement with a new layer of asphalt concrete, while the other project slurry seals a different set of roadways. The resurfacing project is considered a street reconstruction project, while the slurry project is a preventative maintenance project. Together, these projects are designed to maintain the City’s roadway pavement condition.
Slurry seal is placed on streets that are in good condition to seal the street before surface deterioration occurs, which would allow water to penetrate the roadbed and lead to premature roadway failure. Slurry seal treatments are expected to last six to eight years, depending on the amount of traffic on the street. Slurry seal costs approximately one-fifth of the cost of
overlaying a street with a new layer of asphalt concrete, and it is a cost-effective approach to extend the useful life of the pavement.
Slurry seal is a petroleum-based emulsion product; it is blended on-site in a large truck and then applied evenly across the entire roadway surface of an asphalt street. The slurry seal is typically one-quarter to three-eighths of an inch thick. The aggregate is a mixture of fine sand and black volcanic rock that increases the roadway friction and maintains a black surface for several years after placement. The slurry seal process typically requires streets to be temporally closed to traffic between 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. The slurry-sealed surface will be tender and subject to surface blemishes, typically for a few weeks following the placement of the slurry, depending heavily on the weather. Residents are provided information on how to reduce surface blemishes by not making sharp turns or turning wheels while the vehicle is not moving.
DISCUSSION
The Annual Slurry Sealing of Various Streets Project, CIP No. 24504, applies slurry seal on 560,000 square feet of pavement on 27 street segments. See Attachment 1 for a map of street locations.

TITLE: APPROVING, AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING EXECUTION OF CERTAIN
FINANCING DOCUMENTS AND CERTAIN ACTIONS IN CONNECTION WITH ISSUING UP TO $19,000,000 IN WATER REVENUE BONDS FOR FINANCING IMPROVEMENTS TO THE CITY’S WATER SYSTEM
SUMMARY
The City’s water facilities produce, treat, store, and/or deliver potable and recycled water to its customers, which include all City residents and commercial customers, as well as portions of unincorporated Alameda County (i.e., Remen Tract, Happy Valley, and the area west of Foothill Road/Sunol Boulevard). The proposed $19 million in water revenue bonds (Bonds) will fund improvements to the City’s water facilities and pay costs of issuance of the Bonds.
The proposed Bonds to be issued by the Pleasanton Joint Powers Financing Authority (Authority) for an amount not to exceed $19 million will (1) be sold via negotiated sale to Siebert Williams Shank & Co., LLC, as underwriter, (2) mature in 30 years, (3) have an interest rate not to exceed 6%, and (4) include a call provision allowing the City to redeem, at the City’s option, some or all of the Bonds prior to their scheduled maturity.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the attached resolution (Attachment 1) authorizing the execution and delivery of an Installment Sale Agreement, a Bond Purchase Agreement and a Preliminary Official Statement (Attachments 2-4) and authorizing certain related matters regarding the Pleasanton Joint Powers Financing Authority 2024 Water Revenue Bonds.
BACKGROUND
This is a companion report to the action being considered by the Authority. This is a separate, but related, action from the authorization to issue bonds, which will be handled through the Authority to fund water system improvements.
The Authority is a joint exercise of powers agency formed between the City and the City’s Housing Authority to assist the City with municipal financing transactions. The City Council sits as the governing body of the Authority, and City staff serve as staff of the Authority.
The City’s Capital Improvement Program and projects that were approved through various City Council actions include planned capital expenditures that will be funded through a combination of debt financing and cash on hand. There are immediate financing needs for various water infrastructure replacement projects. The Authority plans to issue water revenue bonds to help the City finance the acquisition, construction and improvements to the City’s potable water system. The City will purchase those projects from the Authority pursuant to the Installment Sale Agreement.
On November 7, 2023, the City Council approved water rate increases to fund immediate/near- term essential system upgrades; fund plans for water supply alternative project design work; pay for additional purchase of water from Zone 7 over the next 2-3 years; augment staffing to manage, plan, and implement solutions for the water distribution system; and replenish the reserve fund and restore the water fund’s financial position. The City Council adopted a resolution on March 5, 2024, that declared its intent to reimburse itself with proceeds from future debt. On April 16, 2024, the City Council approved a resolution to prepay the 2017 Water Revenue Bonds prior to their maturity on 2/1/2025 to meet the debt service coverage requirements to issue additional debt.
DISCUSSION
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The debt proceeds will be used to fund the projects described below. A detailed report was presented to the City Council on March 19, 2024, regarding the near-term improvement projects and the design work associated with the Water Supply Alternative/City Ground Water Supply Project.
The hydraulic analysis conducted for the City’s water system identified several core system deficiencies, including turnout capacities and pipelines, to meet the current and future growth of the system. The loss of regular use of the City’s wells due to per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS) created further deficiencies in the City’s system as the wells no longer provide water at key locations within the City’s distribution system. The Water Supply Alternatives (WSA) analysis was completed to determine the best solution to address the PFAS issue, and the hydraulic model was utilized to identify the necessary distribution improvements for the various water supply alternatives. Several sections of pipelines were identified as needing upgrades in all the various alternatives which also aligned with the core system deficiencies.
The model was requested to identify the essential improvements that need to be constructed to meet the forecasted system demands until the selected WSA can be put in service (an assumed date of late 2028). The results identified three segments of the pipeline (Bernal Avenue, Stoneridge Drive, and Sunol Boulevard), and improvements at Turnout No. 1 and No. 4 need to be completed and were termed “Near-Term Water Improvements.” Further identified were emergency projects completed to meet the anticipated summer demands of 2024, including temporary repairs to Turnout No. 1 to return it to service and installing a temporary rental pump at Turnout No. 4 to increase the capacity of the turnout.
A condition assessment was completed on the water system and is currently being utilized in the prioritization process in the development of the 10-Year Water CIP. The condition assessment identified that water lines on Stoneridge Drive and Sunol Boulevard were near the end of their useful life. The water lines on Stoneridge Drive and Sunol Blvd will be upsized to accommodate the future removal of the older lines.
The Near-Term Water Improvements were broken into three bid packages to expedite the work.
Bernal Avenue Water Line & Turnout No. 1 - IN PROGRESS
The first project is the Bernal Avenue 18-Inch Potable Water Main (F- 4 Line) & Turnout No. 1 Project, CIP 24172, which was awarded for construction on January 16, 2024, for $2.2 million.
The project will install a new 18-inch water line in parallel to the existing 12-inch line from Turnout No. 5 at the corner of Nevada Street to the Vineyard Booster Station at the intersection of Vineyard and Bernal Avenue. The project also includes improvements at Turnout No. 1 on Santa Rita Road that will replace the interior piping and equipment to Zone 7 Water Agency’s current standards and include a motorized control valve, flow meter, fluoride injection, and instrumentation. The turnout was placed out of service after it was flooded, the equipment was temporarily repaired, and the leak was repaired. Construction of the project began in February 2024, with major construction impacts anticipated in late March 2024.
Stoneridge and Sunol Water Lines & Turnout No. 4 - IN PROGRESS The second project consists of Turnout No. 4 Replacement and Booster Station and Stoneridge Drive 24-Inch Potable Water Main (F-1 Line), CIP No. 24171, and the Sunol Boulevard 20-Inch Water Main (F-7 Line), CIP No. 24173, packaged together as Near-Term Water Improvements. Bids opened on February 22, 2024, and the bid was presented to the City Council on March 19, 2024, with an anticipated construction cost of $9.5 million. Work on Stoneridge Drive occurs from Johnson Drive to Hopyard Road and will include installation of approximately 3,200 linear feet of 24-inch fusible PVC water main; 450 linear feet of ductile iron pipe ranging in diameter from 18-inch to 24-inch; site preparation for installation of a new prefabricated booster station which is being procured separately; and installation of the prefabricated booster station with new Zone 7 connection once fabrication is complete. Work on Sunol Boulevard will extend from Sycamore Road to Bernal Avenue and includes the installation of 4,500 linear feet of 20-inch ductile iron pipe connecting to the existing City system at each end. The project will construct a larger turnout and booster station that will increase the firm capacity and reliability of the turnout from 1,000 gallons per minute (gpm) to 5,200 gpm.
Turnout No. 4 Booster Station - IN PROGRESS
The third project is the procurement of the prepackaged booster station. Given the limited site conditions, a prepackaged booster station will be built off-site and will be similar to the Recycled Water Booster Station in Ken Mercer Sports Park. The consultants developed a request for proposal (RFP), and proposals were received on January 19, 2024. The proposals ranged from $1.7-$1.8 million, as compared to the engineer’s estimate of $850,000. Further analysis and updates to the RFP are being completed to reduce costs. It is anticipated the booster station will not be installed until spring 2025, and the temporary rental pump will continue to be in place as needed.
In addition to the water line improvements, the bond proceeds will be utilized toward the design work of new City wells to replace the City’s ground water pumping quota.
Water Supply Alternative – City Ground Water Supply Project - IN PROGRESS The Water Supply Alternative project identified and reviewed options to address PFAS in the City's existing groundwater wells and outlined several alternatives to restore the City’s 3,500 acre-feet groundwater pumping quota. The City is moving forward with a project to design, construct, and operate two new groundwater wells in the Bernal sub-basin (as outlined in the agenda report regarding the Water Supply Alternatives Study presented to the City Council on October 17, 2023). If during the feasibility process of test drilling and permitting with Zone 7, it is determined that new groundwater wells are not feasible, then the City would pivot back to constructing a reduced PFAS Treatment and Well Rehabilitation project with a focus on improvements to Well 8 (City PFAS Treatment and Well 8 Rehab Project). The project is
entering into Phase I, Feasibility and Planning. Phase I is expected to be completed by spring 2025.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT
PFM Financial Advisors LLC (PFM), the Municipal Advisor, has provided estimates regarding certain financial aspects of the proposed financing based on market conditions as of April 18, 2024.
The current estimates indicate that the principal amount of the Bonds will be approximately $17.2 million (below the not-to-exceed amount of $19 million). The principal and interest payments, together, on the Bonds will be approximately $1.12 million each fiscal year until final maturity. The term of the Bonds will be 30 years. The Bonds are expected to sell at a premium, and the proceeds are expected to total about $19 million including principal.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 5852.1, the following good faith estimates (obtained from the Underwriter and the Municipal Advisor) are being disclosed at a public meeting in connection with the authorization of the Bonds.

BOND DOCUMENTS AND FINANCING SCHEDULE
Staff has been working with PFM, as the City’s Municipal Advisor, and Jones Hall, the City’s bond counsel and disclosure counsel, and Siebert Williams Shank & Co., LLC, the underwriter, to develop the bond issuance. U.S. Bank will serve as trustee. An RFP process was utilized to select bond counsel/disclosure counsel, underwriter, and trustee. The finance team has prepared a set of documents for the issuance, including the documents referred to in the attached resolutions. The financing team has submitted the documents, including the Preliminary Official Statement, and other related economic and financial information to S&P
Global Ratings, a nationally recognized rating agency, to obtain a credit rating on the Bonds.
The team anticipates receiving the rating prior to May 7, 2024.
The City and the Authority intend to sell the Bonds via negotiated sale in May. With that sale timeframe, the City and the Authority will receive proceeds of the Bonds shortly thereafter.
The Authority is obligated to pay the debt service on the Bonds using amounts received from the City as installment payments payable by the City under the Installment Sale Agreement.
The City is obligated to pay the installment payments from the “Net Revenues” of the City’s water system. Net Revenues are defined in the legal documents to mean the gross revenues received by the City from the water system, less operations and maintenance costs of the system. The use of Net Revenues to pay the installment payments will be on parity with the City’s obligation to make payments with respect to the SRF Agreement executed in 2015 to pay for water improvements.
The maximum amount authorized to be borrowed would be $19 million, which includes an amount necessary to cover the costs of issuance. The attached resolution authorizes the sale of the Bonds at a public sale and approves the form of the Preliminary Official Statement and other documents. Further, the Resolution authorizes the City Manager and the Finance Director to take any and all actions necessary to consummate the issuance of the Bonds.
Legal Structure and Financing Documents
The resolution the City and the Authority are being asked to adopt will approve the following documents. Each of the documents are presented in substantial final form and will be completed after the Bonds are priced (i.e., when the principal amount of the Bonds, the interest rates and the original issue premium or discount will be determined). • Indenture of Trust – The Indenture is a contract between the Authority and U.S.
Bank National Association, acting as trustee for the holders of the Bonds. The Indenture specifies the trustee, dated date, maturity date or dates, interest rate or rates, interest payment dates, denominations, forms, registration privileges, manner of execution, place or places of payment, terms of redemption and other terms of the Bonds.
• Installment Sale Agreement – The Installment Sale Agreement is a contract between the Authority and the City, under which the Authority agrees to provide financing for the water projects and to sell the completed water projects to the City in consideration of the payment by the City of semiannual installment payments which are sufficient to provide revenues with which to pay principal of, and interest on, the Bonds when due.
• Bond Purchase Agreement – The Bond Purchase Agreement is a contract among the Authority, the City and Siebert Williams Shank & Co., LLC., as underwriter, whereby the Authority agrees to sell the Bonds to the Underwriter and the Underwriter agrees to buy the Bonds from the Authority for resale to the public.
• Preliminary Official Statement – The Preliminary Official Statement is the offering statement used by the Underwriter to inform the marketplace of the
terms of the Bonds, material information regarding the City’s water system and related matters; it contains all relevant information for the investors to decide whether to purchase the Bonds.
• Continuing Disclosure Certificate – Contained in the Preliminary Official Statement is the form of Continuing Disclosure Certificate, which requires the City to submit annual continuing disclosure reports and notice of certain listed events to the marketplace as long as the Bonds are outstanding.
Financing Team Participants
The complex legal and financial structure of municipal debt requires issuing agencies to rely heavily upon experienced professional consultants to assist with the process. City staff assembled a team of professionals to assist the City in this transaction. All fees associated with the financing will be paid by the Bonds.

Section 1. CEQA Finding. The City Council finds that the matter is exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines §15060(c)(3), as this matter is not an activity subject to CEQA because it does not meet the CEQA definition of a project. Guidelines §15378(b)(4) states that government fiscal activities which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a
Resolution No. ____

Therefore, the issuance of the Pleasanton Joint Powers Financing Authority 2024 Water Revenue Bonds is not subject to CEQA.

The City Council hereby approves the Installment Sale Agreement between the Authority and the City, under which the Authority agrees to provide financing for the Water Projects and to sell the completed Water Projects to the City in consideration of the payment by the City of semiannual installment payments which are sufficient to provide revenues with which to pay principal of and interest on the Bonds when due. The Installment Sale Agreement is hereby approved in substantially the form on file with the City Clerk together with any changes therein or additions thereto deemed advisable by the City Manager or the Finance Director (each, an “Authorized Officer”), and the execution thereof by an Authorized Officer shall be conclusive evidence of the approval of any such changes or additions. An Authorized Officer is hereby authorized and directed for and in the name and on behalf of the City to execute, and the City Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to attest to, if necessary, the final form of the Installment Sale Agreement.
Section 4. Sale of Bonds by the Authority. The City Council hereby approves the negotiated sale of the Bonds by the Authority to Siebert Williams Shank & Co., LLC, as underwriter (the “Underwriter”). The Bonds shall be sold to the Underwriter under the Bond Purchase Agreement among the Authority, the City and the Underwriter, which is hereby approved in substantially the form on file with the City Clerk, together with any changes therein or additions thereto deemed advisable by an Authorized Officer, and the execution thereof by an Authorized Officer shall be conclusive evidence of the approval of any such changes or additions. An Authorized Officer is hereby authorized and directed for and in the name and on behalf of the City to accept an offer from the Underwriter to purchase the Bonds from the Authority and to execute the final form of the Bond Purchase Agreement in the name of the City.
Section 5. Official Statement. The City Council hereby approves and deems final within the meaning of Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, a preliminary Official Statement for the Bonds in the form on file with the City Clerk. An Authorized Officer is authorized, at the request of the Underwriter, to execute an appropriate certificate affirming the City Council’s determination that said preliminary Official Statement has been deemed final within the meaning of said Rule. The City Council approves the distribution of the preliminary Official Statement by the Underwriter to prospective investors, in substantially the form on file with the City Clerk, together with any changes therein or additions thereto deemed advisable by an Authorized Officer. An Authorized Officer is authorized and directed to approve any changes in or additions to a final form of an Official Statement for the Bonds, and the execution thereof by an
Resolution No. ____
Authorized Officer will be conclusive evidence of approval of any such changes and additions. The City Council authorizes the distribution of the final Official Statement by the Underwriter, which will include final pricing information related to the Bonds.
Section 6. Official Actions. The Mayor, the City Manager, the Finance Director, the City Clerk and all other officers of the City are each authorized and directed in the name and on behalf of the City to make any and all assignments, certificates, requisitions, agreements, notices, consents, instruments of conveyance, warrants and other documents, including but not limited to a Continuing Disclosure Certificate in substantially the form attached as Appendix C to the Official Statement which is approved under Section 4, which they or any of them might deem necessary or appropriate in order to consummate any of the transactions contemplated by the agreements and documents approved under this Resolution. Whenever in this Resolution any officer of the City is authorized to execute or countersign any document or take any action, such execution, countersigning or action may be taken on behalf of any person serving in such role in an interim capacity or by any officer or person designated by such officer to act on his or her behalf.

The City shall deposit the Installment Payment coming due and payable on any Interest Payment Date with the Trustee, as assignee of the Authority under the Indenture, on the related Installment Payment Date (as set forth in Exhibit A hereto) in an amount which, together with
-7-
amounts then held by the Trustee in the Bond Fund, is equal to the full amount of such Installment Payment. The Installment Payments are secured by and payable solely from the sources specified in Section 4.5.
(b) Effect of Prepayment.

If the City prepays the Installment Payments in part but not in whole under Section 7.2 or Section 7.3, or under the relevant provisions of any Supplemental Agreement, the principal component of each succeeding Installment Payment will be reduced as provided in such Sections or in such Supplemental Agreement, and the interest component of each remaining Installment Payment will be reduced by the aggregate corresponding amount of interest which would otherwise be payable with respect to the Bonds thereby redeemed under the applicable provisions of the Indenture.

The Authority hereby directs the City, and the City hereby agrees, to pay to the Trustee at its Principal Corporate Trust Office, all payments payable by the City under this Section 4.4 and all amounts payable by the City under Article VII.
SECTION 4.5. Pledge and Application of Net Revenues.
(a) Pledge of Net Revenues. All of the Net Revenues and all moneys on deposit in the Water Fund and the funds and accounts established and held by the Trustee under the Indenture (other than the Project Fund and Cost of Issuance Fund) are hereby irrevocably pledged, charged and assigned to the punctual payment of the Installment Payments. Such pledge, charge and assignment constitute a lien on the Net Revenues and such other moneys for the payment of the Installment Payments in accordance with the terms hereof, on a parity with the pledge and lien which secures any Parity Debt. (b) Deposit of Net Revenues Into Water Fund; Transfers to Make Payments. The City will establish and hold in trust the Water Fund, for the purposes and uses set forth herein.
The City shall deposit all of the Gross Revenues in the Water Fund immediately upon receipt.
The City shall apply amounts in the Water Fund as set forth in this Agreement and any Parity Debt Instruments. Amounts on deposit in the Water Fund shall be applied by the City to pay when due the following amounts in the following order of priority:
(i) all Operations and Maintenance Costs (including amounts reasonably required to be set aside in contingency reserves for Operations and

Maintenance Costs) as such Operations and Maintenance Costs become due and payable;
(ii) to the Trustee (or other recipient set forth in a Parity Debt Instrument) the amount needed to pay the Installment Payments and principal of, and interest on, any Parity Debt;
(iii) to the Trustee (or other recipient set forth in a Parity Debt Instrument) the amount of any deficiency in any reserve fund established for any Bonds or Parity Debt, the notice of which deficiency has been given to the City in accordance with the Indenture and the related Parity Debt Instruments, on a pro rata basis; and
(iv) as long as all of the foregoing payments, allocations and transfers are made at the times and in the manner set forth above, any moneys remaining in the Water Fund may at any time be treated as surplus and applied for any lawful purpose.
(c) No Preference or Priority. Payment of the Installment Payments and the principal of and interest on any Parity Debt shall be made without preference or priority among the Installment Payments and such Parity Debt. If the amount of Net Revenues on deposit in the Water Fund is at any time insufficient to enable the City to pay when due the Installment Payments and the principal of and interest on any Parity Debt, such payments shall be made on a pro rata basis.
SECTION 4.6. Special Obligation of the City; Obligations Absolute. The City’s obligation to pay the Installment Payments and any other amounts coming due and payable hereunder is a special obligation of the City limited solely to the Net Revenues. Under no circumstances is the City required to advance moneys derived from any source of income other than the Net Revenues and other sources specifically identified herein for the payment of the Installment Payments and such other amounts. No other funds or property of the City are liable for the payment of the Installment Payments and any other amounts coming due and payable hereunder.
The obligations of the City to pay the Installment Payments from the Net Revenues and to perform and observe the other agreements contained herein are absolute and unconditional and are not subject to any defense or any right of set-off, counterclaim or recoupment arising out of any breach by the Authority or the Trustee of any obligation to the City or otherwise with respect to the Water System, whether hereunder or otherwise, or out of indebtedness or liability at any time owing to the City by the Authority or the Trustee. Until all of the Installment Payments, all of the Additional Payments and all other amounts coming due and payable hereunder are fully paid or prepaid, the City (a) will not suspend or discontinue payment of any Installment Payments, Additional Payments or such other amounts, (b) will perform and observe all other agreements contained in this Agreement, and (c) will not terminate this Agreement for any cause, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the occurrence of any acts or circumstances that may constitute failure of consideration, eviction or constructive eviction, destruction of or damage to the Water System, failure to complete the acquisition and construction of the Project by the estimated completion date thereof, sale of the Water System, the taking by eminent domain of title to or temporary use of any component of the Water System, commercial frustration of purpose, any change in the tax law or other laws of the United States of America or the State of California or any political subdivision of either thereof, or any
-9-
failure of the Authority or the Trustee to perform and observe any agreement, whether express or implied, or any duty, liability or obligation arising out of or connected with the Indenture or this Agreement.
The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.6 do not release the Authority from the performance of any of the agreements on its part contained herein or in the Indenture, and if the Authority fails to perform any such agreements, the City may institute such action against the Authority as the City deems necessary to compel performance, so long as such action does not abrogate the obligations of the City contained in the preceding paragraph. The City may, however, at its cost and expense and in its name or in the name of the Authority, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding or take any other action involving third persons which the City deems reasonably necessary in order to secure or protect the City’s rights hereunder, and in such event the Authority shall cooperate fully with the City and shall take such action necessary to effect the substitution of the City for the Authority in such action or proceeding as the City may request.

SECTION 5.3. Sale or Eminent Domain of Water System.
(a) The City will not sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Water System or any part thereof essential to the proper operation of the Water System or to the maintenance of the Net Revenues except as herein expressly permitted. The City will not enter into any lease or agreement which impairs the operation of the Water System or any part thereof necessary to secure adequate Net Revenues for the payment of the interest on and principal or redemption price, if any, on the Bonds, or which would otherwise impair the rights of the holders of the Bonds with respect to the Net Revenues or the operation of the Water System. Any real or personal property which has become non-operative or which is not needed for the efficient and
-11-
proper operation of the Water System, or any material or equipment which has worn out, may be sold at not less than the market value thereof without the consent of the holders of the Bonds if such sale will not reduce Net Revenues and if all of the Net Proceeds of such sale are deposited in the Water Fund.
(b) If all or any part of the Water System shall be taken by eminent domain proceedings, the Net Proceeds realized by the City therefrom shall be applied by the City (a) to the cost of acquiring or constructing or financing Improvements to the Water System, or (b) to redeem Bonds or any Parity Debt in accordance with the Indenture or the applicable Parity Debt Instruments.
SECTION 5.4. Insurance. The City covenants that it shall at all times maintain such insurance (which may be in the form of self-insurance pooling) on the Water System as is customarily maintained with respect to works and properties of like character against accident to, loss of or damage to such works or properties.
Any such insurance shall be in the form of policies or contracts for insurance with insurers of good standing and shall be payable to the City, or may be in the form of self- insurance by the City. The City shall establish such fund or funds or reserves as it determines, in its sole judgment, are necessary to provide for its share of any such self-insurance.

SECTION 5.5. Records and Accounts. The City covenants that it shall keep proper books of record and accounts of the Water System, separate from all other records and accounts, in which complete and correct entries shall be made of all transactions relating to the Water System. Said books shall, upon reasonable request, be subject to the inspection of the Owners of not less than 10% of the Outstanding Bonds or their representatives authorized in writing.
The City covenants that it will cause the books and accounts of the Water System to be audited annually by an Independent Certified Public Accountant and will make available for inspection by the Bond Owners, upon reasonable request, a copy of the report of such Independent Certified Public Accountant.
The City covenants that it will cause to be prepared annually, not more than 180 days after the close of each Fiscal Year, as a part of its regular annual financial report, a summary statement showing the amount of Gross Revenues and the amount of all other funds collected which are required to be pledged or otherwise made available as security for payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds, the disbursements from the Gross Revenues and other funds in reasonable detail. The City shall furnish a copy of the statement to the Trustee, and upon written request, to any Bond Owner.
SECTION 5.6. Rates and Charges.
(a) The City shall fix, prescribe, revise and collect rates and charges for the Water System during each Fiscal Year which are at least sufficient, after making allowances for
-12-
contingencies and error in the estimates, to produce Gross Revenues which will be sufficient to pay the following amounts:
(i) all Operations and Maintenance Costs of the Water System estimated by the City to become due and payable in such Fiscal Year; (ii) the Installment Payments and debt service on any Parity Debt; (iii) all other payments required for compliance with this Agreement, the Indenture and the Parity Debt Instruments; and
(iv) all payments required to meet any other obligations of the City that are charges, liens, encumbrances upon or payable from the Gross Revenues of the Water System or the Net Revenues of the Water System.
(b) In addition, the City shall fix, prescribe, revise and collect charges for the Water System during each Fiscal Year which are sufficient to yield Net Revenues at least equal to 120% of the amounts payable under the preceding clause (a)(ii) in such Fiscal Year. For purposes of this paragraph, the amount of Net Revenues for a Fiscal Year will be computed on the basis that any transfers into the Water Fund in such Fiscal Year from the Rate Stabilization Fund are included in the calculation of Net Revenues (except to the extent of amounts transferred into the Rate Stabilization Fund from Gross Revenues received by the City in such Fiscal Year, so as to avoid double-counting), as provided in this Agreement.
SECTION 5.7. Superior and Subordinate Obligations. The City may not issue or incur any additional bonds or other obligations during the Term of this Agreement having any priority in payment of principal or interest out of the Net Revenues over the Installment Payments. Nothing herein is intended or shall be construed to limit or affect the ability of the City to issue, enter into or incur (a) Parity Debt under Section 5.8, or (b) obligations which are either unsecured or which are secured by an interest in the Net Revenues which is junior and subordinate to the pledge of and lien upon the Net Revenues established hereunder.
SECTION 5.8. Issuance of Parity Debt. In addition to the Installment Payments, the City may, by a Parity Debt Instrument, issue or incur other loans, advances or indebtedness payable from Net Revenues to be derived from the Water System, to provide financing for the Water System, in such principal amount as shall be determined by the City. The City may issue or incur any such Parity Debt subject to the following specific conditions that are hereby made conditions precedent to the issuance and delivery of such Parity Debt:
(a) The City shall be in compliance with all covenants set forth in this Agreement and in the Indenture.
(b) The Net Revenues of the Water System, calculated on generally accepted accounting principles, as shown by the books of the City for the latest Fiscal Year or any more recent 12-month period selected by the City ending not more than 60 days prior to the adoption of the Parity Debt Instrument pursuant to which such Parity Debt are issued, as shown by the books of the City, plus, at the option of the City, any or all of the items hereinafter in this paragraph designated (i) and (ii), shall at least equal 120% of Maximum Annual Debt Service, with Maximum Annual Debt Service calculated on all bonds and other obligations to be outstanding immediately subsequent to the issuance of such Parity Debt which have a lien on Net Revenues of the Water System.
-13-
The items any or all of which may be added to such Net Revenues for the purpose of issuing or incurring Parity Debt hereunder are the following:
(i) An allowance for Net Revenues from any additions to or improvements or extensions of the Water System to be made with the proceeds of such Parity Debt, and also for Net Revenues from any such additions, improvements or extensions which have been made from moneys from any source but in any case which, during all or any part of such Fiscal Year or such 12-month period, were not in service, all in an amount equal to 90% of the estimated additional average annual Net Revenues to be derived from such additions, improvements and extensions for the first 36-month period in which each addition, improvement or extension is respectively to be in operation, all as shown in the written report of an Independent Consultant engaged by the City; and
(ii) An allowance for revenues projected to arise from any increase in the water rates and charges which has been approved by the City Council prior to the incurring of such additional indebtedness but which, during all or any part of such Fiscal Year or such 12-month period, was not in effect, in an amount equal to the amount by which the Net Revenues would have been increased if such increase in water rates and charges had been in effect during the whole of such Fiscal Year or such 12-month period, all as shown in the written report of an Independent Consultant engaged by the City. For the avoidance of doubt, a charge shall be considered to have been approved by the City Council and may be considered in the calculation of the allowance described in the previous sentence if the water rate and charge is part of a rate increase that has been approved by the City Council, even if the specific water rate and charge will not take effect until a subsequent Fiscal Year.
(c) The Parity Debt Instrument providing for the issuance of such Parity Debt under this Section 5.8 shall:
(i) Provide that the proceeds of such Parity Debt shall be applied to the acquisition, construction, improvement, financing or refinancing of additional facilities, improvements or extensions of existing facilities within the Water System, or otherwise for facilities, improvements or property which the City determines are of benefit to the Water System, or for the purpose of refunding any Parity Debt in whole or in part, including all costs (including costs of issuing such Parity Debt and including capitalized interest on such Parity Debt during any period which the City deems necessary or advisable) relating thereto; (ii) specify the date on which interest on such Parity Debt will be payable; and
(iii) specify the date on which principal on such Parity Debt will be payable.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parity Debt proposed to be issued for the purpose of refunding any Parity Debt may be issued without compliance with subsection (b) and (c)(i), so long as such refunding results in the same or lower Debt Service in each Fiscal Year after such refunding.
-14-
SECTION 5.9. Maintenance and Operation of Water System in Efficient and Economical Manner. The City covenants and agrees to maintain and operate the Water System in an efficient and economical manner and to operate, maintain and preserve the Water System in good repair and working order.
SECTION 5.10. Assignment and Amendment. The Authority and the City may at any time amend or modify any of the provisions of this Agreement, but only: (a) with the prior written consents of the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds; or (b) without the consent of the Trustee or any of the Bond Owners, but only if such amendment or modification is for any one or more of the following purposes:
(i) to add to the covenants and agreements of the City contained in this Agreement, other covenants and agreements thereafter to be observed, or to limit or surrender any rights or power herein reserved to or conferred upon the City;
(ii) to make such provisions for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, or of curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision contained herein, to conform to the original intention of the City and the Authority; (iii) to modify, amend or supplement this Agreement in such manner as to assure that the interest on the Bonds remains excluded from gross income under the Tax Code (provided that this provision shall not apply to bonds the interest on which is intended to be included in gross income for purposes of federal income taxation);
(iv) in any other respect whatsoever as the Authority and the City deem necessary or desirable, if in the opinion of Bond Counsel such modifications or amendments do not materially adversely affect the interests of the Owners of the Bonds; and
(v) to provide for the issuance of Parity Debt pursuant to Section 5.8 hereof, including the addition of any provisions required with respect to Parity Debt relating to Variable Rate Bonds, and to Swap Agreements.
No such modification or amendment may extend or have the effect of extending any Installment Payment Date or reducing any Installment Payment or any premium payable upon the prepayment thereof, without the express consent of the Owners of the affected Bonds, or modify any of the rights or obligations of the Trustee without its written assent thereto.
SECTION 5.11. Continuing Disclosure. The City hereby covenants and agrees to comply with and carry out all of the provisions of each Continuing Disclosure Certificate, as originally executed as of the date of issuance and delivery of the Bonds, and as it may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, failure by the City to comply with the Continuing Disclosure Certificate shall not constitute a default hereunder or under the Indenture of Trust; provided, however, that any Participating Underwriter or any Owner or beneficial owner of the Bonds may take such action as may be necessary and appropriate to compel performance by the City of its obligations under this Section, including seeking mandamus or specific performance by court order. All
-15-
capitalized terms used but not defined in this Section shall have the meanings given in the Continuing Disclosure Certificate.
SECTION 5.12. Rate Stabilization Fund. The City has the right at any time to establish a rate stabilization fund (the “Rate Stabilization Fund”) to be held by it and administered in accordance with this Section, for the purpose of stabilizing the rates and charges imposed by the City with respect to the Water System. From time to time the City may deposit amounts in the Rate Stabilization Fund, from any source of legally available funds, including but not limited to Net Revenues that are released from the pledge and lien which secures the Installment Payments and any Parity Debt, as the City may determine.
The City may, but is not required to, withdraw from any amounts on deposit in a Rate Stabilization Fund and deposit such amounts in the Water Fund in any Fiscal Year. Amounts so transferred from a Rate Stabilization Fund to the Water Fund shall constitute Gross Revenues for such Fiscal Year (except to the extent of amounts transferred into the Rate Stabilization Fund from Gross Revenues received by the City in such Fiscal Year, so as to avoid double- counting), and shall be applied for the purposes of the Water Fund. Amounts on deposit in a Rate Stabilization Fund shall not be pledged to or otherwise secure the Installment Payments or any Parity Debt. The City has the right at any time to withdraw any or all amounts on deposit in a Rate Stabilization Fund and apply such amounts for any lawful purposes of the City.
ARTICLE VI

(b) Failure by the City to pay any Additional Payment when due and payable hereunder, and the continuation of such failure for a period of 30 days. (c) Failure by the City to observe and perform any covenant, condition or agreement on its part to be observed or performed, other than as referred to in the preceding clauses (a) or (b), for a period of 60 days after written notice specifying such failure and requesting that it be remedied has been given to the City by the Authority or the Trustee; provided, however, that if the City notifies the Authority and the Trustee that in its reasonable opinion the failure stated in the notice can be corrected, but not within such 60-day period, such failure will not constitute an event of default hereunder if the City commences to cure such failure within such 60 day period and thereafter diligently and in good faith cures the failure in a reasonable period of time. (d) The filing by the City of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or failure by the City promptly to lift any execution, garnishment or attachment, or adjudication of the City as a bankrupt, or assignment by the City for the benefit of creditors, or the entry by the City into an agreement of composition with creditors, or the approval by a court of competent jurisdiction of a petition applicable to the

(a) Declare all principal components of the unpaid Installment Payments, together with accrued interest thereon at the Overdue Rate from the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date on which payment was made, to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection (a), the Trustee shall rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if, before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due has been obtained or entered, (i) the City deposits with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all principal components of the Installment Payments coming due prior to such declaration and all matured interest components (if any) of the Installment Payments, with interest on such overdue principal and interest components calculated at the Overdue Rate, and (ii) the City pays the reasonable expenses of the Trustee (including any fees and expenses of its attorneys), and (iii) any and all other defaults known to the Trustee (other than in the payment of the principal and interest components of the Installment Payments due and payable solely by reason of such declaration) have been made good. No such rescission and annulment will extend to or shall affect any subsequent default, or impair or exhaust any right or power consequent thereon.
(b) Take whatever action at law or in equity may appear necessary or desirable to collect the Installment Payments then due or thereafter to become due during the Term of this Agreement, or enforce performance and observance of any obligation, agreement or covenant of the City under this Agreement. (c) As a matter of right, in connection with the filing of a suit or other commencement of judicial proceedings to enforce the rights of the Trustee and the Bond Owners hereunder, cause the appointment of a receiver or receivers of the Gross Revenues and other amounts pledged hereunder, with such powers as the court making such appointment may confer.
SECTION 6.3. No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Authority is intended to be exclusive. Every such remedy is cumulative and in addition to every other remedy given under this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.
No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default impairs any such right or power or operates as a waiver thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle the Authority to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Article VI, it is not necessary to give any notice, other than such notice as may be required in this Article VI or by law.
-17-
SECTION 6.4. Agreement to Pay Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses. If either party to this Agreement defaults under any of the provisions hereof and the nondefaulting party, the Trustee or the Owner of any Bonds employs attorneys or incurs other expenses for the collection of moneys or the enforcement or performance or observance of any obligation or agreement on the part of the defaulting party herein contained, the defaulting party agrees that it will on demand therefor pay to the nondefaulting party, the Trustee or such Owner, as the case may be, the reasonable fees of such attorneys and such other expenses so incurred. The provisions of this Section 6.4 survive the expiration of the Term of this Agreement.
SECTION 6.5. No Additional Waiver Implied by One Waiver. If any agreement contained in this Agreement is breached by either party and thereafter waived by the other party, such waiver is limited to the particular breach so waived and does not waive any other breach hereunder.
SECTION 6.6. Trustee and Bond Owners to Exercise Rights. Such rights and remedies as are given to the Authority under this Article VI have been assigned by the Authority to the Trustee under the Indenture, to which assignment the City hereby consents. Such rights and remedies shall be exercised by the Trustee and the Owners of the Bonds as provided in the Indenture.

(a) sufficient to pay all such Installment Payments, including the principal and interest components thereof, when due under Section 4.4(a), or (b) invested in whole or in part in non-callable Defeasance Obligations in such amount as will, in the opinion of an Independent Certified Public Accountant (which opinion is addressed and delivered to the Trustee), together with interest to accrue thereon and together with any cash which is so deposited, be fully sufficient to pay all such Installment Payments when due under Section 4.4(a) or when due on any optional prepayment date under Section 7.2, as the City instructs at the time of said deposit.
If the City makes a security deposit under this Section for the payment of all remaining Installment Payments, all obligations of the City hereunder, and the pledge of Net Revenues and all other security provided by this Agreement for said obligations, will thereupon cease and terminate, excepting only the obligation of the City to make, or cause to be made, all Installment Payments from the security deposit. The security deposit will be deemed to be and will constitute a special fund for the payment of the Installment Payments in accordance with the provisions hereof.
SECTION 7.2. Optional Prepayment Relating to the 2024 Bonds. The City may exercise its option to prepay the principal components of the Installment Payments relating to
-18-
the 2024 Bonds in whole or in part on any date on or after April 1, 20___. The City may exercise such option by payment of a prepayment price equal to the sum of (a) the aggregate principal components of the Installment Payments relating to the 2024 Bonds to be prepaid, (b) the interest component of the Installment Payment relating to the 2024 Bonds required to be paid on or accrued to such date, and (c) the premium (if any) then required to be paid upon the corresponding redemption of the 2024 Bonds under Section 4.01(a) of the Indenture. The Trustee shall deposit the prepayment price in the Redemption Fund to be applied to the redemption of 2024 Bonds under Section 4.01(a) of the Indenture. If the City prepays the Installment Payments in part but not in whole, the principal components will be prepaid among such maturities and in such integral multiples of $5,000 as the City designates in written notice to the Trustee.
SECTION 7.3. Mandatory Prepayment From Proceeds of Insurance, Sale or Condemnation. The City shall prepay the Installment Payments on any date, in whole, or in part among maturities on a pro rata basis in any integral multiple of $5,000, from and to the extent of any proceeds of insurance, sale or condemnation awards with respect to the Water System theretofore paid to the Trustee for such purpose under Sections 5.3 or 5.4. The City and the Authority hereby agree that such proceeds, to the extent remaining after payment of any delinquent Installment Payments, will be deposited in the Redemption Fund and credited towards the City’s obligations under this Section 7.3.
SECTION 7.4. Credit for Amounts on Deposit. If the City prepays the Installment Payments in full under this Article VII, such that the Indenture is discharged by its terms as a result of the prepayment, and upon payment in full of all Additional Payments and other amounts then due and payable hereunder, all available amounts then on deposit in the funds and accounts established under the Indenture shall be credited towards the amounts then required to be so prepaid.

Section 2. The Bonds. The Bonds are limited obligations of the Authority payable solely from revenues of the Authority, consisting primarily of certain installment payments (the “Installment Payments”) made by the City from Net Water Revenues (as defined in the Indenture) to the Authority pursuant to an Installment Sale Agreement dated June 1, 2024, between the Authority, as seller, and the City, as purchaser (the “Installment Sale Agreement”).

The Bonds are being issued to provide funds to: (i) assist the City with financing certain improvements to the water treatment, production, storage and distribution systems within the service area of the City, and (ii) pay the costs of issuing the Bonds, and shall be as described in, and shall be secured under and pursuant to the Indenture substantially in the form previously submitted to the Underwriter, with only such changes therein as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Authority, the City, and the Underwriter.

Section 3. Public Offering; Establishment of Issue Price for Bonds. (a) The Underwriter agrees to assist the Authority in establishing the issue price of the Bonds and shall execute and deliver at Closing an “issue price” or similar certificate, together with the supporting pricing wires or equivalent communications, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, with such modifications as may be appropriate or necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the Underwriter, the Authority and Bond Counsel to accurately reflect, as applicable, the sales price or prices or the initial offering price or prices to the public of the Bonds.
Except as otherwise set forth in Exhibit A, the Authority will treat the first price at which 10% of each maturity of the Bonds (the “10% test”) is sold to the public as the issue price of that maturity (if different interest rates apply within a maturity, each separate CUSIP number within that maturity will be subject to the 10% test). At or promptly after the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Underwriter
3 shall report to the Authority the price or prices at which it has sold to the public each maturity of Bonds. If at that time the 10% test has not been satisfied as to any maturity of the Bonds, the Underwriter agrees to promptly report to the Authority the prices at which it sells the unsold Bonds of that maturity to the public.
That reporting obligation shall continue, whether or not the Closing Date has occurred, until either (i) earlier 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity or (ii) until the Underwriter has sold all Bonds of that maturity to the public; provided that the Underwriter’s reporting obligation after the Closing Date may be at reasonable periodic intervals or otherwise upon request of the Underwriter, the Authority or Bond Counsel. For purposes of this Section, if Bonds mature on the same date but have different interest rates, each separate CUSIP number within that maturity will be treated as a separate maturity of the Bonds. (b) The Underwriter confirms that it has offered the Bonds to the public on or before the date of the Purchase Agreement at the offering price or prices (the “initial offering price”), or at the corresponding yield or yields, set forth in Exhibit A, except as otherwise set forth therein. Exhibit A also sets forth, identified under the column “Hold the Offering Price Rule Used,” as of the date of the Purchase Agreement, the maturities, if any, of the Bonds for which the 10% test has not been satisfied and for which the Authority, the City and the Underwriter agree that the restrictions set forth in the next sentence shall apply, which will allow the Authority to treat the initial offering price to the public of each such maturity as of the sale date as the issue price of that maturity (the “hold-the-offering-price rule”). So long as the hold-the-offering-price rule remains applicable to any maturity of the Bonds, the Underwriter will neither offer nor sell unsold Bonds of that maturity to any person at a price that is higher than the initial offering price to the public during the period starting on the sale date and ending on the earlier of the following:
1. the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date; or
2. the date on which the Underwriter has sold at least 10% of that maturity of the Bonds to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the public. (c) The Underwriter will advise the Authority promptly after the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date whether it has sold 10% of that maturity of the Bonds to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the public. (d) The Underwriter confirms that:
(i) Any selling group agreement and any third-party distribution agreement relating to the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, together with the related pricing wires, contains or will contain language obligating each dealer who is a member of the selling group and each broker- dealer that is a party to such third-party distribution agreement, as applicable, to:
(A) report the prices at which it sells to the public the unsold Bonds of each maturity allocated to it, whether or not the Closing Date has occurred, until either: (I) all Bonds of that maturity allocated to it have been sold; or (II) it is notified by the Underwriter that the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity; provided that the reporting obligation after the Closing Date may be at reasonable periodic intervals or otherwise upon request of the Underwriter;
(B) comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable, if and for so long as directed by the Underwriter;
(C) promptly notify the Underwriter of any sales of Bonds that, to its knowledge, are made to a purchaser who is a related party to an underwriter participating
4 in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public (each such term being used as defined below); and
(D) acknowledge that, unless otherwise advised by the dealer or broker-dealer, the Underwriter shall assume that each order submitted by the dealer or broker-dealer is a sale to the public.
(ii) Any selling group agreement relating to the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, together with the related pricing wires, contains or will contain language obligating each dealer that is a party to a third-party distribution agreement to be employed in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public to require each broker-dealer that is a party to such third-party distribution agreement to: (A) report the prices at which it sells to the public the unsold Bonds of each maturity allocated to it, whether or not the Closing Date has occurred, until either all Bonds of that maturity allocated to it have been sold or it is notified by the Underwriter or the dealer that the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity; provided that the reporting obligation after the Closing Date may be at reasonable periodic intervals or otherwise upon request of the Underwriter or the dealer; and (B) comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable, if and for so long as directed by the Underwriter or the dealer and as set forth in the related pricing wires.
(e) The Authority and the City acknowledge that, in making the representations set forth in this subsection, the Underwriter will rely on: (A) in the event that a selling group has been created in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, the agreement of each dealer who is a member of the selling group to comply with the requirements for establishing issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable to the Bonds, as set forth in a selling group agreement and the related pricing wires; and (B) in the event that a third-party distribution agreement was employed in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, the agreement of each broker-dealer that is a party to such agreement to comply with the requirements for establishing issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold- the-offering-price rule, if applicable to the Bonds, as set forth in the third-party distribution agreement and the related pricing wires. The Authority and the City further acknowledge that the Underwriter shall not be liable for the failure of any dealer who is a member of a selling group, or of any broker-dealer that is a party to a third-party distribution agreement, to comply the requirements for establishing issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable to the Bonds.
(f) The Underwriter acknowledges that sales of any Bonds to any person that is a related party to an underwriter participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public (each such term being used as defined below) shall not constitute sales to the public for purposes of this section. Further, for purposes of this section:
1. “public” means any person other than an underwriter or a related party;
2. “underwriter” means: (A) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract with the Authority or the City (or with the lead underwriter to form an underwriting syndicate) to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public; and (B) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract directly or indirectly with a person described in clause (A) to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public (including a member of a selling group or a party to a third-party distribution agreement participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public);
5 3. a purchaser of any of the Bonds is a “related party” to an underwriter if the underwriter and the purchaser are subject, directly or indirectly, to: (A) more than 50% common ownership of the voting power or the total value of their stock, if both entities are corporations (including direct ownership by one corporation of another); (ii) more than 50% common ownership of their capital interests or profits interests, if both entities are partnerships (including direct ownership by one partnership of another); or (iii) more than 50% common ownership of the value of the outstanding stock of the corporation or the capital interests or profit interests of the partnership, as applicable, if one entity is a corporation and the other entity is a partnership (including direct ownership of the applicable stock or interests by one entity of the other); and
4. “sale date” means the date of execution of the Purchase Agreement by all parties.

The undersigned, on behalf of Siebert Williams Shank & Co., LLC (“Siebert”) hereby certifies as set forth below with respect to the sale and issuance of the above-captioned obligations (the “Bonds”).

(b) As set forth in the Bond Purchase Agreement, dated June __, 2024 (the “Sale Date”), among the Authority, the City, and Siebert, Siebert agreed in writing that, (i) for each Maturity of the Hold-the-Offering-Price Maturities, it would neither offer nor sell any of the Bonds of such Maturity to any person at a price that is higher than the Initial Offering Price for such Maturity during the Holding Period for such Maturity (the “hold-the-offering-price rule”), and (ii) any selling group agreement shall contain the agreement of each dealer who is a member of the selling group, and any retail distribution agreement shall contain the agreement of each broker-dealer who is a party to the retail distribution agreement, to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule. [Pursuant to such agreement, no Underwriter (as defined below) has offered or sold any Maturity of the Hold-the- Offering-Price Maturities at a price that is higher than the respective Initial Offering Price for that Maturity of the Bonds during the Holding Period. / No information has come to the attention of the Siebert that any Underwriter has offered or sold any unsold Bonds of any Maturity of the Bonds at a price that is higher than the respective Initial Offering Price for that Maturity of the Bonds during the Holding Period.]
3.Defined Terms.
(a)Authority means the Pleasanton Joint Powers Financing Authority. (b)City means the City of Pleasanton.
(c)General Rule Maturities means those Maturities of the Bonds listed in Schedule A hereto as the “General Rule Maturities.”
(d)[Hold-the-Offering-Price Maturities means those Maturities of the Bonds listed in Schedule 1 hereto as the “Hold-the-Offering-Price Maturities.”]
B-2
(e)[Holding Period means, with respect to a Hold-the-Offering-Price Maturity, the period starting on the Sale Date and ending on the earlier of (i) the close of the fifth business day after the Sale Date May [1], 2024), or (ii) the date on which the Tax Law Underwriter has sold at least 10% of such Hold-the- Offering-Price Maturity to the Public at prices that are no higher than the Initial Offering Price for such Hold-the-Offering-Price Maturity.]
(f)Maturity means Bonds with the same credit and payment terms. Bonds with different maturity dates, or Bonds with the same maturity date but different stated interest rates, are treated as (g)Public means any person (including an individual, trust, estate, partnership, association, company, or corporation) other than the Underwriter or a related party to the Underwriter. The term “related party” for purposes of this certificate generally means any two or more persons who have greater than 50 percent common ownership, directly or indirectly.

4.Yield.
Siebert has been asked by the Authority, the City, and Bond Counsel to calculate the arbitrage yield of the Bonds under Section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Bond Counsel has advised us that the yield on the Bonds is to be computed under the economic accrual method using an assumed 30-day month/360-day year and semiannual compounding. The Authority and the City have advised us that no other transaction (such as a guarantee of the Bonds, an interest rate swap or other hedge) is to be factored into the computation of the yield on the Bonds, that the Bonds are first callable at par at the option of the Authority on April 1, 20__, and that none of the Bonds are subject to optional redemption by Authority within nine years of the date hereof.
Based on the above methodology, we has provided the attached Schedule C to the Authority and the City regarding computing yield on the Bonds.
The undersigned reminds you that we are not accountants or actuaries, nor are we engaged in the practice of law. Accordingly, while we believe the calculations described above to be correct, we do not warrant them to be so, nor do we warrant their validity for purposes of Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
B-3
The representations set forth in this certificate are limited to factual matters only. Nothing in this certificate represents our interpretation of any laws, including specifically Sections 103 and 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. The undersigned understands that the foregoing information will be relied upon by [the Authority and the City] with respect to certain of the representations set forth in the [Tax Certificate] and with respect to compliance with the federal income tax rules affecting the Bonds, and by Bond Counsel in connection with rendering its opinion that the interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, the preparation of the Internal Revenue Service Form 8038-G, and other federal income tax advice Bond Counsel may give to the [Authority and the City] from time to time relating to the Bonds.
