Budget
Personnel Costs
Hourly Rates - When requesting hours for personnel, enter them as straight time or overtime (for Enforcement Overtime, please use section below) and include the amount of hours that they will spend on grant operations.
Example: Personnel getting paid 100% by the grant working a full year at $41.00 per hour would be entered as Straight time, 2080 Units, $41.00 Unit cost or Rate, and 100% Percent Paid by Grant. This gives a total of $85,280.00 for the year.
Benefits – If requesting benefits for personnel, enter all benefits as a separate line item for each. Start the Item Name with the word 'Benefits', enter the corresponding straight time or overtime total amount in the Unit Cost or Rate, and enter the Benefits Rate to have the system calculate Benefit Costs. (Unit Cost) X (Benefits Rate) = Benefit Costs. To properly relate benefits to the correct personnel line item use the Display Order field, for example use 100.0 for Display Order for the personnel line item and 100.1 for Display Order for the associated Benefits.

TITLE: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING APPLICATION TO THE U.S.
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE'S OFFICE OF JUSTICE PROGRAMS' BUREAU OF
JUSTICE ASSISTANCE'S PATRICK LEAHY BULLETPROOF VEST
PARTNERSHIP GRANT IN AN AMOUNT UP TO $40,000
SUMMARY
The U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Justice Program’s Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) sponsors several grant programs to address chronic and emerging criminal justice challenges nationwide. Staff recommends the City Council provide authorization to apply for the BJA’s Patrick Leahy Bulletproof Vest Partnership (BVP) grant program to support the purchase of bulletproof vests for law enforcement officers. Awarded funds would be available retroactively from April 1, 2024, through August 31, 2026.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution to authorize the submittal of an application for the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Justice Programs’ Bureau of Justice Assistance’s Patrick Leahy Bulletproof Vest Partnership (BVP) for up to $40,000 and authorize the City Manager to execute all documents, and appropriate funds in the Operations Grant Fund in FY 2024/25 and the FY26 - FY27 biennial budget.
BACKGROUND
The Bulletproof Vest Partnership is designed to provide critical resources to state and local law enforcement agencies. Since 1999, the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Justice Program's Bureau of Justice Assistance’s BVP has supported 13,000 law enforcement agencies to purchase bulletproof vests. Bulletproof vests have been attributed to saving the lives of over 300 law enforcement officers since 2015 and are considered an essential piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). By statute, BVP prioritizes small jurisdictions with fewer than 100,000 residents for funding. The BVP grant provides up to 50 percent of the cost of bulletproof vests for law enforcement officers.
DISCUSSION
The City follows bulletproof vest manufacturers' recommendations and replaces bulletproof vests every five years. The City anticipates needing to replace and purchase 39 bulletproof vests for law enforcement officers between April 1, 2024, and August 31, 2026. The approximate cost of a single bulletproof vest is $1,375. The BVP grant will be used to assist the City with up to 50 percent of these purchases.
EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
As a full-service municipality, the City provides a wide range of services and programs inclusive of policing to meet the needs of all members of the community.
OUTREACH
No outreach was conducted, as this item is a routine matter of City business.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This action is aligned with the ONE Pleasanton Strategic Plan goals of Funding Our Future, which supports financial health and sound fiscal policies through cost recovery and increased revenue, and Safeguarding Our City, which prioritizes community safety.
FISCAL IMPACT
The approximate cost of purchasing 39 bulletproof vests is $53,600. Funds for these purchases are allocated to the General Fund budget. The BVP grant will provide funding to supplant the City’s expenditures for bulletproof vests and reimburse the City for up to 50 percent of the costs. This grant will only be used to fund the purchase and replacement of bulletproof vests. Awarded grants will be appropriated to the Operations Grant Fund in FY 2024/25, and as part of the biennial FY26 - FY27 budget.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
July 16, 2024
Public Works - Engineering Division
TITLE: ADOPT A RESOLUTION OF SUMMARY VACATION FOR PUBLIC SERVICE EASEMENT AT 4035 EQUUS COURT (TRACT 6275 LOT 6)
SUMMARY
In 1991, the subdivider of Tract 6275 dedicated public easements within the Equus Heights residential subdivision, including easements that encumber the property at 4035 Equus Court (Tract 6275 Lot 6), which is currently owned by 1400 Foothill LLC. 1400 Foothill LLC has developed plans to construct the required infrastructure within Tract 6275 so homes can be built on the vacant lots. While the proposed home for Lot 6 conflicts with a Public Service Easement (PSE) granted to the City, for Tract 6275 the utility networks have been designed such that the PSE across Lot 6 can be vacated in favor of a replacement PSE that avoids a conflict with the planned home. Therefore, if the City Council adopts the proposed resolution, the originally granted 20-foot-wide PSE will be replaced with a 10-foot-wide PSE in the same general location.
The City sent formal notices to utility purveyors asking whether they would object to the vacation process. No objections were received. The owner of Tract 6275 is now ready to move forward with the construction of subdivision improvements, subject to the City’s processing of the easement vacation. Staff is recommending the City Council adopt a resolution of summary vacation for the PSE at 4035 Equus Court.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution of Summary Vacation for Public Service Easement at 4035 Equus Court (Tract 6275 Lot 6) based on the following recommendations:
1. The City Council is asked to summarily vacate a public service easement having found that the easement will be superseded by relocation or determined to be excess by the easement holder, and there are no other public facilities located within the easement (§8333(c)).
2. The City Council may vacate a street, highway, or public service easement by adopting a Resolution of Summary Vacation (§8335(a)(1)).
3. The Resolution of Summary Vacation must state the following (§8335(b)):
a. That the vacation is made under this chapter.
b. That the vacation area is precisely described.
c. That the facts under which this summary vacation is made are as stated in this report.
d. That from and after the date this Resolution of Summary Vacation is recorded with the Alameda County Recorder’s Office, the street, highway, or public service easement vacated no longer constitutes a street, highway, or public service easement.
e. That notice of the Resolution of Summary Vacation has been provided to all
entities having any right, title, or interest in the public service easement.
BACKGROUND
On February 21, 1989, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 89-89 certifying an environmental impact report for Case PUD-87-19, “Equus Heights” an irregularly-shaped
50.36-acre property west of Foothill Road opposite Foothill High School.
On March 7, 1989, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1399 (PUD-87-19), that rezoned the Equus Heights property from “A” (Agricultural) to the PUD – Low Density Residential and Rural Density Residential District.
On December 12, 1990, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution PC 90-116, approving Tentative Tract Map 6275. This allowed subdivision of the approximately 50.36-acre property into 22 single-family residential lots by the property owners Dr. and Mrs. William Yee.
On December 10, 1991, the City Council approved improvement plans, a final map and a Subdivision Agreement for Tract 6275, Equus Heights, Phase I. Said final map created only six of the allowed 22 single-family residential lots on the southern portion of the property. The final map was subsequently recorded on December 31, 1991 (Book 199 of Maps at Pages 51 through 54).
On December 1, 1992, the City Council approved an extension of the Subdivision Agreement for Tract 6275, Equus Heights, Phase I.
On March 25, 1998, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution Nos. PC-98-20 and PC-98- 21, approving a modified Planned Unit Development (PUD-98-01) plan for the six lots originally approved as PUD-87-19, Equus Heights. This modification relocated the entrance road north to align with what was known as “Fuller Road” and eliminated the open space parcels. The application was submitted by Dong Yu Real Estate Development (successor to Yee) and included Tentative Tract Map 7030.
On May 19, 1998, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 98-68, approving a draft negative declaration under CEQA, making the PUD development plan findings for PUD-98-01, Equus Heights.
On June 2, 1998, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1747, which approved PUD-98-01.
On June 28, 2000, the Planning Commission adopted a motion recommending that Dong Yu Real Estate Development’s request for an approval extension for PUD-98-01-1M be denied and that the City Council consider reverting the original six-lot subdivision to acreage.
On July 12, 2000, the Planning Commission again considered Dong Yu Real Estate Development’s request for an approval extension and adopted a motion to continue PUD-98- 01-1M, Tract Map 7030 (Equus Heights), indefinitely. The final map for Tract 7030 was neither processed nor recorded.
In 2022, the property was purchased by 1400 Foothill LLC. The new owner has been pursuing subdivision improvements according to the original Ordinance No. 1399 (PUD-87-19) and
Tract 6275 approval.
On March 11, 2024, the Zoning Administrator approved PUD-87-19-5M, Minor Modification, which modified the approved location and size of house pads for the six originally subdivided single-family residential lots.
DISCUSSION
PSEs are easements used by various utility purveyors to place vaults, conduits, and related equipment needed to serve residential neighborhoods with electricity, gas, water, sewer, and telecommunication infrastructure. The City Council, as a legislative body, has been granted the authority to summarily vacate public easements that are no longer needed or relevant, provided the regulatory process prescribed by the California Streets and Highways Code §8330 et seq. is followed. This process requires that the City formally notify those who benefit from the easement. The beneficiaries of the PSE are those purveyors who operate utility networks in Pleasanton (PG&E, AT&T, Comcast, and others). If the easement is replaced in a similar or equivalent configuration, then this is disclosed in the notice, and a simplified “summary” vacation process is allowed by state law. The easement beneficiaries have the right to protest the planned vacation. The City sent formal notices to utility purveyors asking whether they would object to the vacation process; no objections were received.
The public service easement dedicated on the final map for Tract 6275 across the property at 4035 Equus Court requires vacation and replacement with a similar easement to accommodate the construction of a single-family home. Adoption of a Resolution of Summary Vacation for Public Service Easement (Attachment 1), approval of the Quitclaim Deed of Public Service Easement (Attachment 2) together with the City Manager’s acceptance of the Grant of Public Service Easement (Attachment 3) across 4035 Equus Court would effectuate the easement adjustments without adverse impact to the City’s rights or obligations.
EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
Not applicable, as this item is an administrative matter of City business.
OUTREACH
Notification letters were sent to easement beneficiaries as required by California Streets and Highways Code §8335(b)(5). No easement beneficiary submitted an objection to the proposed vacation.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Not applicable, as this item is an administrative matter of City business.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

The final map was subsequently recorded on December 31, 1991 (Book 199 of Maps at Pages 51 through 54); and
WHEREAS, the final map for Tract 6275 granted public service easements to the City of Pleasanton including a public service easement that encumbers Lot 6; and WHEREAS, Lot 6 was purchased by 1400 Foothill LLC who has asked the City to vacate the public service easement in exchange for granting a replacement public service easement in the same general location that accommodates construction of a home on the lot; and WHEREAS, local utility purveyors who benefit from public service easements held by the City were sent formal notices about the proposed vacation asking whether they would object. No objections were submitted, and the City confirmed that no public utilities current reside within the vacation area; and

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

Public Works - Engineering Division
TITLE: APPROVE A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH SEQUOIA ECOLOGICAL CONSULTING, INC. IN THE AMOUNT OF $137,834 TO PREPARE
ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTS, ESTABLISHING A NEW PROJECT,
AUGUSTIN BERNAL FUEL MANAGEMENT CIP NO. 25783, AND BUDGET
AMENDMENTS IN THE MISCELLANEOUS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
GRANTS FUND
SUMMARY
In early 2023, staff identified a grant opportunity and coordinated with Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department (LPFD) to apply for a grant to reduce fuel in an approximately 125-acre area in and around Augustin Bernal Community Park. On May 16, 2023, the City Council adopted a resolution acknowledging the submission of a grant application to fund fuel reduction in Augustin Bernal Community Park and certified the availability of funds to implement the reimbursement grant. On January 17, 2024, the City was awarded $1,048,900.
This fuel management project will target 125 acres within and around the park and provide fire breaks and vegetation removal to protect structures and access routes and improve the parks and surrounding areas’ resiliency to fire. The fuel management work requires the City to obtain the necessary environmental approvals prior to work being performed. In March, City and LPFD staff advertised a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for a CEQA-compliant vegetation treatment program for Augustin Bernal Community Park. Based on the evaluation criteria in the RFQ, Sequoia Ecological Consulting, Inc. (Sequoia) was selected as the most qualified bidder.
Staff recommends the approval of a professional services agreement with Sequoia for $137,834 to prepare the environmental documents required for this project. The term of the agreement is from August 2024 through December 31, 2025.
Staff also recommends the City Council authorize the Director of Public Works to execute amendments for a not-to-exceed amount of $14,000. The costs for the project are fully funded by a reimbursable CAL FIRE grant. Preparation of the environmental documents for the project is expected to take approximately 10 months and be completed by early summer 2025.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Approve the professional services agreement with Sequoia Ecological Consulting, Inc. in the amount of $137,834 for the Augustin Bernal Fuel Management project and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement.
2. Authorize the Director of Public Works to execute amendments to the professional service agreement up to a not-to-exceed amount of $14,000 (approximately a 10 percent increase to the base agreement amount) for additional services if determined to be necessary as the environmental documentation is prepared.
3. Approve establishing a new project, Augustin Bernal Fuel Management Project, CIP
25783, and budget amendments appropriating $1,048,900 in grant revenue and corresponding $1,048,900 in project expenditure, all in the Miscellaneous Capital Improvement Program Grants Fund.
BACKGROUND
In June 2022, the Canyon Fire burned 71 acres of the Pleasanton Ridge, including a portion of Augustin Bernal Community Park. This prompted an internal discussion between the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department (LPFD) and City staff regarding fire management and future fire protection along the City’s western edge. Staff reviewed fuel management funding opportunities and, in early 2023, identified a grant opportunity via the California State Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) California Climate Investments Wildfire Prevention Grants Program. In March 2023, the City and LPFD coordinated on an application for the grant to reduce fuel in an approximately 125-acre area in and around Augustin Bernal Community Park.
On May 16, 2023, the City Council adopted a resolution acknowledging the submission of a grant application to fund fuel reduction in Augustin Bernal Community Park and certified the availability of funds to implement the reimbursement grant by March 15, 2029.
On January 17, 2024, the City was awarded a $1,048,900 non-matching grant (i.e., no City funds are required for the project). Upon award notification, staff reached out to CAL FIRE and other surrounding agencies with fuel management experience to determine the appropriate California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process for the fuel management project.
DISCUSSION
The Augustin Bernal Fuel Management project, CIP No. 25783, will address fuel-build-up at the 227-acre park and bring the parkland back to a more manageable level so that if a fire occurs in the future, it can be more easily contained with less significant damage.
The project will target 125 acres within and around the park and provide fire breaks and vegetation removal to protect structures and access routes and improve the park’s and surrounding areas’ resiliency to fire. The work is scheduled to occur over a roughly five-year period, with the environmental documentation scheduled for the first year and hand labor, grazing, and mechanical vegetation removal scheduled over the next two to four years until the project goals have been met and the available grant money utilized.
The fuel management work requires the City to obtain the necessary environmental approvals prior to work being performed. In March, the City and LPFD advertised a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for a CEQA-compliant vegetation treatment program for Augustin Bernal Community Park.
Four environmental firms submitted a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) for the project prior to the March 28, 2024, submittal deadline. Staff reviewed the SOQs and invited the top two firms for interviews with a panel with representatives from the City and LPFD. The interviewed firms were:
1. Sequoia Ecological Consulting, Inc.
2. Ascent
Based on the ratings of the SOQ, interviews, and reference checks, staff recommends awarding the contract to Sequoia for $137,834 (Attachment 2) and approving a design contingency of 10 percent, approximately $14,000. The contingency will allow the City to conduct further public outreach, if necessary, and conduct additional environmental surveys or respond to concerns brought up during the environmental planning process.
Sequoia’s professional services are anticipated to include a Project-Specific Analysis (PSA) and Addendum to CAL FIRE’s statewide Vegetation Treatment Program (CalVTP) Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR), which already addresses approximately half of the projected work area. The PSA and Addendum will include treatment prescriptions and mitigation measures for the proposed fuel management work.

EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
The fuel management project will improve the Pleasanton Ridge's resiliency in an environmentally responsible way, using mitigation strategies to address environmental concerns.
OUTREACH
Prior to applying for the grant, staff received letters of support for the fuel management project from the surrounding neighbors, including the East Bay Regional Park District, Golden Eagle HOA, and Kilkare HOA. During the environmental and fuel management process, further coordination is planned with the surrounding property owners and the public.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this action advances the Citywide ONE Pleasanton strategic plan goal of Investing in Our Environment, Strategy 7 – Continue to invest in parks, bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, and public art to improve traffic safety, promote climate resilience, and increase equitable access to cultural and recreational opportunities.
FISCAL IMPACT
The reimbursable grant will provide 100 percent of the construction and consultant administration costs of the project. The total estimated cost is $1,048,900, including the $137,834 for the proposed professional services agreement with Sequoia. Staff time will be required to oversee and administer the grant and consultants, but is not anticipated to be covered by the grant. The City will be required to provide project funds prior to reimbursement
by CAL FIRE. Staff recommends establishing a new project, Augustin Bernal Fuel Management Project CIP No. 25783 and appropriating the full grant revenue of $1,048,900 and corresponding $1,048,900 in project expenditures in the Miscellaneious CIP Grants Fund (Fund 162) to fund the design and future construction activities. Funding and anticipated expenditures are detailed in Attachment 1.

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.

coordination efforts, such as communications and
meetings with agencies, project stakeholders,
scheduling field work, managing subcontractors or
other miscellaneous tasks requiring Senior biological
review.
Kickoff and Meetings
Sequoia’s project managers and technical specialists
will attend all necessary meetings with the City and
project stakeholders to ensure that project needs are
met in a timely manner. After the contract is awarded,
Sequoia will organize both a virtual and in-field team
meeting to kick off the project and ensure that the
project’s goals will be met within the timeframe
provided. We have built in staff redundancy to ensure
team leaders, such as Sequoia’s project manager,
have back-up support during vacations and sick time.

Assumptions
The City of Pleasanton will provide Sequoia’s team with details about any specific concerns of the City or other local fire agencies and participating entities,
consultants, and landowners. This includes any policies or restrictions regarding the use of herbicides, grazing, and applied fire.
Sequoia’s team will need to access multiple sites within the project area. The City of Pleasanton will ensure that all necessary landowner notifications are made, and
safe site access is provided with Right of Entry (ROE)
permits.
Treatment prescriptions may be further refined during development of the Project Description section of the
PSA. Treatments are being drafted and finalized by
Carol Rice.
Sequoia will cover all agency coordination with
California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), US
Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and CAL FIRE as
needed.
We have provided an estimate of costs based on the
assumption that three (3) 1-hour virtual meetings, and
one (1) field site visit with the City and the local fire department, will be sufficient. We assume these
meetings will take place during development of the PSA
as needed, or as requested by the City. If additional
time is required, a change order will be necessary.
Sequoia will provide a weekly email to the City relaying the project status.
Costs include a site walkdown with select members of
the project team responsible for authoring the fuels
prescription and project design, as well as a Sequoia
project manager, technical specialist, and
biologist/botanist.
Additional support beyond the final contract amount
can be provided with a change order, or a contingency
budget for as-needed support requests can be
established using Sequoia’s and team members’ 2024-
2025 hourly rates.
Task 2. Project Specific Analysis (PSA) and
Addendum
The PSA will tier from and reference the California
Vegetation Treatment Program (CalVTP) Final
Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (PEIR).
Because portions of the Project area include land
outside of the Treatable Landscape, this scope
assumes that a PSA and Addendum to the CalVTP
PEIR will be required.
Draft PSA
Since the project is within the Treatable Landscape,
and is considered a covered activity under the CalVTP
PEIR, the team will prepare a Draft PSA using
Appendix PD-3: Project Specific Analysis, of the PEIR.
The Draft PSA will include a description of the
proposed vegetation treatment activities and
description of the project area, as well as narrative
responses to the CalVTP PEIR Environmental Checklist
that environmental effects of the proposed treatment
have been covered in the PEIR and none of the
criteria for preparation of subsequent California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) documentation are
met (State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15168(c)(2),
15162). We will identify relevant Standard Project
Requirements (SPRs) and mitigation measures
identified in the CalVTP PEIR.
Draft Addendum
Since portions of the project are outside of the
Treatable Landscape but would involve similar
impacts and habitat types, the team will prepare an
Addendum to the CalVTP PEIR.
The team will prepare the Draft Addendum in
accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15164. It is
anticipated that the proposed project will not result in new or substantially more severe significant
environmental impacts compared with the impacts
disclosed in the CalVTP PEIR, nor are there any other

circumstances that require the preparation of a
subsequent environmental compliance document.
If it is determined that a subsequent Initial
Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) or
other environmental compliance document is the
appropriate CEQA document, Sequoia will work with
the City of Pleasanton to develop the appropriate
scope of work for future documentation, and can
submit a change order at that time.
The Draft Addendum document will be comprised
of the following sections:
Overview. This section will provide an overview of
the environmental review and approval required for
the proposed project.
Purpose of the Addendum. This section will discuss
CEQA compliance and background and history. It will
summarize impacts and mitigation measures that
were previously identified, as well as the criteria that must be met to qualify as an Addendum to the CalVTP
PEIR.
Project Description. This details the project location
and project description and key differences between
the project as evaluated under the PEIR and under
present conditions.
Environmental Analysis. This section will provide an
analysis of the potential environmental consequences
anticipated to occur as a result of implementation of
the proposed changes to the project using the CalVTP
PEIR Environmental Checklist. The Environmental
Analysis will provide written responses to each
question on the Environmental Checklist that:
1. Summarize the conclusions of the CalVTP PEIR;
2. Identify any previous mitigation measures that
are applicable to the amended project; and
3. Provide findings to indicate the amended project
is compliant with CEQA Guidelines Section 15164
to qualify for an Addendum.
We will prepare a list of proposed minor
modifications, where appropriate, for PEIR mitigation
measures. This scope does not include errata for
republication of the original Draft or Final EIR. Once
the Draft Addendum is completed, the team will
develop a compiled draft of the document for the City
of Pleasanton’s review.
Deliverables
Draft Addendum and Appendices in Microsoft Word

Final PSA and Addendum
Final PSA
After receiving the City of Pleasanton’s comments on
the Draft PSA and making the appropriate changes,
Sequoia will prepare a proofcheck version of the PSA
for the City’s consideration. We assume that the
proofcheck version will adequately address any
substantive comments and that the comments on the
proofcheck version will be limited to edits and
clarifications of final points. We will address such final edits/ clarifications and prepare a final version of the PSA for the City’s files.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
July 16, 2024
Public Works - Operations Division
TITLE: APPROVE AS-NEEDED MAINTENANCE AND TRADE SERVICES
AGREEMENTS FOR HEATING, VENTILATION, AND AIR CONDITIONING
GENERAL MAINTENANCE INFRASTRUCTURE REPAIRS WITH THE OPTION
TO EXTEND TWO ADDITIONAL ONE-YEAR EXTENSIONS WITH
SATISFACTORY PERFORMANCE
SUMMARY
To maintain the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in all City facilities, the City utilizes prequalified and preapproved as-needed service agreements, which allows staff to authorize and direct the work effectively and efficiently. The current five-year HVAC maintenance service agreement expired on June 30, 2024. Staff distributed a Request For Proposal (RFP) for experienced licensed contractors to perform as-needed, necessary HVAC maintenance services for City facilities. Based on the proposals received, staff has established a list of as-needed maintenance and trade services agreements with annual not-to-exceed limits. The proposed as-needed services agreements will commence on August 1, 2024, and expire on June 30, 2027, with an option for two additional one-year extensions with Consumer Price Index (CPI) inceases. Each agreement allows the City to terminate services should the CIty need to reduce costs.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute four three-year as-needed maintenance service agreements for continued proactive HVAC maintenance and emergency repair services with the option for two additional one-year extensions with CPI increases based on satisfactory performance.
BACKGROUND
The HVAC maintenance for 32 City facilities and 139 publicly maintained facilities requires ongoing maintenance and as-needed repairs. To meet the City’s needs, as-needed contractors that supplement the work of City staff are essential to supporting the City’s core functions and keeping the City in good operating order. The City has successfully used contracting services to supplement internal resources, especially during emergencies and urgent needs and when the work requires specialized tools, equipment, and skills.
The current as-needed service agreements expired on June 30, 2024. In May 2024, an RFP was formally advertised for new agreements for as-needed services by posting a legal publication and notification on the City’s website and through third-party vendor Bidnet Direct.
Six proposals were received from licensed contractors; four of the six proposals met or exceeded the minimum qualifications listed in the RFP for the categories listed in Table 1 below. Contractors’ licenses and Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) registration have been verified.
DISCUSSION
Utilizing prequalified and preapproved as-needed service agreements allows staff to authorize and direct the work effectively and efficiently. When utilizing the as-needed service contractors to perform essential tasks, staff will follow the City Council-approved Procurement Procedures and Manual. Appropriate contractors with the required license and area of expertise will be contacted with a scope of service to provide a quote for those services. For all individual work/projects, the contractor(s) will submit a written estimate detailing the cost of the required work or services. A task order is issued based on the lowest responsible and responsive bids available to meet the City’s specified performance timeline. The costs will be applied against the not-to-exceed limit of the agreement. The City will then issue a Task Authorization letter as a guide for reimbursement when the scheduled work is completed to the City’s satisfaction.
As part of the bid process, all as-needed contractors provided labor and equipment rates, markup percentages, and their Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) number where applicable. In addition, as a condition of the agreement, each contractor will provide the required certificates of insurance and verification of a current City of Pleasanton business license. Performance and Payment Bonds may be requested depending on the type of services requested and the risk evaluation by staff.
Table 1 below lists each type of as-needed service category, the recommended contractor(s) for that category based on pricing rates and qualifications, and the recommended not-toexceed limit for year one of each agreement. In many cases, staff recommends entering into an agreement with multiple contractors for a single service category to have the flexibility to obtain the best combination of pricing, trade skills, and response time on a task-by-task basis.
Staff will ensure that all cumulative task orders issued against the listed contracts below will not exceed the total approved budget.
Table 1 – Recommended As-Needed Services Agreements
Service Category Contractor Year One
Not-To- Exceed
HVAC Services Prime Mechanical $200,000
Airtecks.com $200,000
Environmental Systems $200,000
ACCO $200,000
Total Agreements (4) Total Amount $800,000
Contractor proposals for subsequent years shall be increased based on the San FranciscoOakland-San Jose Metropolitan Area Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the 12-month period ending in April.
Staff recognizes that these as-needed contracts encumber a significant aggregate, not-toexceed total at a time when the City is implementing cost reductions and related cost containment strategies. At the same time, these contracts support the operations and delivery
of ongoing programs and services for the entire City organization. Staff intends to utilize these contracts for necessary and essential tasks. Section 11. a. of each agreement allows the City to terminate services should the CIty need to reduce costs.
EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
Not applicable, as this item is a routine matter of City business.
OUTREACH

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this action advances the Citywide ONE Pleasanton strategic plan goal of Funding our Future to support financial health and sound fiscal policies through long-term planning, cost recovery, increased revenue, and cost containment.
FISCAL IMPACT
For FY 2024/25, funding for these agreements is budgeted in the General Fund, Facilities Maintenance Operations (Org 00140301) and in the Facilities Repair & Replacement Internal Service Fund (Org 51540132) for the Public Works' Facilities Division. The FY 2024/25 not-toexceed limit for each agreement is listed in Table 1 in the Discussion section of this report. For all subsequent years, the proposed rates by contractors for each agreement shall be increased based on the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose Metropolitan Area Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the 12-month period ending in April. Funding for these agreements beyond FY 2024/25 is subject to City Council approval through an annual budget process.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
July 16, 2024
Public Works - Operations Division
TITLE: APPROVE A THREE-YEAR MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT WITH (SWEEPING
CORP OF AMERICA) SCA OF CA, LLC IN THE NOT-TO-EXCEED AMOUNT OF $1,341,437 FOR CITYWIDE STREET SWEEPING SERVICES WITH THE OPTION
TO EXTEND TWO ADDITIONAL ONE-YEAR EXTENSIONS
SUMMARY
In recent years, the City established a maintenance agreement with scheduled daily routes and emergency response services for maintenance of City streets and Ciy-owned parking lots.
This proactive approach has significantly extended the lifespan of City-maintained travel surfaces and reduced overall maintenance costs. The current Street Sweeping Maintenance services agreement expires on July 30, 2024.Staff issued a Request for Bid (RFB) in May 2024 for experienced licensed contractors to perform citywide street sweeping services. The proposed three-year maintenance agreement will commence on August 1, 2024, and expire on June 30, 2027, with an option for two additional one-year extensions with Consumer Price Index (CPI) increases; the agreement also allows the City to terminate at any time during the contract period, should there be a need to reduce this program.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a three-year maintenance service agreement with SCA of CA, LLC - Sweeping Corp of America (SCA) in the not-to-exceed amount of $1,341,437, inclusive of a 10 percent contingency for continued proactive street sweeping maintenance and emergency response services with the option to extend two additional one-year extensions with satisfactory performance with CPI increases. This recommendation is made to continue enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of the City's travel surface maintenance program, address water quality requirements, and mitigate seasonal flooding occurances.
BACKGROUND
The City is responsible for sweeping maintenance of City streets and City-owned parking lots.
This comprehensive service covers a significant scope, including 579 curb miles of roads swept monthly. This maintenance is crucial, particularly during the leaf season from November to January, to ensure that City streets and storm drains are cleared of debris.
The city is segmented into 21 sweeping zones to effectively manage this extensive area. The frequency of sweeping services is strategically determined based on each area’s specific needs and activity levels. This structured approach to street sweeping not only enhances the cleanliness and appearance of our city but also plays an important role in environmental protection and the prevention of drainage blockages. Residential neighborhoods typically require sweeping once a month and are scheduled on a regular day each month to maintain consistency and predictability for residents. Commercial areas are being reduced to sweeping once a month. City-owned parking lots are being removed from service to lower costs; this
work will be done periodically by City staff.Because the downtown area experiences substantial pedestrian and vehicle traffic, it is swept twice a week to address the continuous accumulation of debris and to maintain a clean and safe environment.
DISCUSSION
As the current Street Sweeping Maintenance services agreement expires on July 30, 2024, a Request for Bid (RFB) was formally advertised in May 2024. One proposal was received by SCA on May 16, 2024. SCA is the current vendor, and staff is confident SCA will continue to perform the service satisfactorily. SCA has been provided with a detailed scope of work, as outlined in Exhibit A of the Maintenance Service Agreement.
Having an agreement ensures a fixed cost for street sweeping services, providing financial predictability while safeguarding against potential inflation and cost variances associated with emergency services. The total compensation for the first three years of the agreement with SCA of CA, LLC is set at $1,341,437 based on an annual breakdown:
• FY 2024/25: $435,825
• FY 2025/26: $445,540
• FY 2026/27: $460,072.
These amounts include a 10 percent contingency provision, which is allocated for unforeseen circumstances and additional services the City may require. This contingency ensures the City remains prepared for variable demands and can manage unexpected issues as they arise.
Should the City need to reduce costs, the City may terminate the agreement at any time by mailing a notice to the contractor per Section 10.a of the agreement.
EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
Not applicable, as this item is a routine matter of City business.
OUTREACH
No outreach was conducted, as this item is a routine matter of City business.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this action advances the Citywide ONE Pleasanton strategic plan goal of Investing in Our Environment which promotes effective use of existing facilities through maintenance and repair.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for this contract is included in the General Fund's Traffic Maintenance Operations budget (Org 00140201). Funding for future years' contract amounts beyond FY 2024-25 is subject to City Council approval through the annual budget process.

TITLE: APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF AN ENFORCER LIGHT/BREATHING AIR HEAVY DUTY RESCUE FIRE ENGINE IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,565,172 AND
APPROVE A BUDGET AMENDMENT IN THE FIRE APPARATUS
REPLACEMENT FUND
SUMMARY
The current Engine Unit #618 (BS96) is a Breathing Support 1991 International Type 1 Fire Engine assigned to Fire Station #6 for the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department (LPFD). The primary function of BS96 is to respond to emergencies during firefighting operations. In addition, an air and light unit, also known as a breathing support unit or mobile air unit, is a specialized firefighting apparatus used by first responders to provide supplemental lighting and self-contained breathing apparatus cylinders and cylinder filling services at the scene of an emergency. During the apparatus' more than 33 years in operation, a total of $338,673 has been spent on parts and labor to maintain and repair. Once replaced, BS96 will be sent to public auction because the life expectancy has been exceeded. Staff recommends City Council approve the purchase of a Pierce Enforcer Light/Breathing Air Heavy-Duty Rescue Type 1 Fire Engine in the amount of $1,565,172 inclusive of approximately 10 percent contingency.
RECOMMENDATION
• Approve the purchase of the Pierce Enforcer Light/Breathing Air Heavy-Duty Rescue Type 1 Fire Engine for LPFD;
• Authorize the City Manager to execute a Purchase Order with Golden State Fire Apparatus Inc., in the amount of $1,565,172, inclusive of approximately 10 percent contingency; and
• Approve a budget amendment to the Fire Apparatus Replacement Fund to appropriate $1,565,172 in expenditure for this purchase.
BACKGROUND
The Enforcer Light/Breathing Air Heavy-Duty Rescue Type 1 Fire Engine has a standard useful lifespan of 15 years in frontline service, after which it is typically transitioned to reserve status. Cities, counties, and municipalities replace Type 1 Fire Engines every 10–15 years.
After fifteen years of frontline service, engines often serve an additional five years in reserve, leading to a total service life of approximately 20 years.
The existing Engine Unit #618 (BS96) has exceeded its standard service life by 13 years. The unit has 17,536 miles and 2,216 hours of service, significantly beyond the typical 15-year frontline service lifespan, followed by up to 5 additional years in reserve status. This unit serves within the Joint Powers Authority (JPA) for the LPFD, comprising 10 fire station that
serve the Livermore and Pleasanton communities. Continued reliance on this outdated unit poses significant operational risks and inefficiencies, as the unit's age increases the likelihood of mechanical failures, potentially compromising the safety and effectiveness of first responders during critical incidents. The continued reliance on this outdated unit poses several risks:
• Operational Risks: The advanced age of the unit increases the likelihood of mechanical failures, which can result in downtime and reduced availability during critical incidents • Inefficiencies: The older unit may not meet current standards for efficiency and capability, potentially hindering the effectiveness of first responders • Safety Concerns: Mechanical failures and outdated technology could compromise first responders and public safety during emergencies.
Importance of Air Light and Rehabilitation Units
An air and light unit, also known as a breathing support unit or mobile air unit, is a specialized firefighting apparatus. These units provide supplemental lighting and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) cylinder-filling services at emergency scenes. During prolonged incidents, where environments pose immediate dangers to life or health, first responders rely on SCBAs.
The air and light unit plays a crucial role by refilling depleted air cylinders using its onboard air compressor and cascade air tank system. It also carries spare air cylinders to ensure uninterrupted operations.
Unit Features and Capabilities
These highly customizable units can vary significantly between departments to meet specific operational needs. Key features include:
• Diesel Generators: Equipped with diesel generators to power portable lights and scene illumination equipment, often utilizing a roof-mounted telescoping light bank • Restroom Facilities: Designed with a single restroom to support prolonged incidents, enhancing the LPFD's ability to maintain an inclusive workforce • Incident Rehabilitation: This unit provides scene and incident rehabilitation, offering shelter from inclement weather and allowing personnel to enter a temperaturecontrolled space. The unit also provides access to drinking water and caloriereplacement nutrition bars, which are essential for maintaining the well-being of first responders during extended operations
• Electrical Power Supply: This can supply electrical power to emergency shelters, base camps, or medical facilities, ensuring continued functionality of essential services during crises.
DISCUSSION
Given the essential role of the air and light unit in supporting emergency response operations, it is imperative to replace the BS96 with a new, state-of-the-art unit. This investment will ensure that the LPFD is well-equipped to handle prolonged incidents efficiently and safely, maintaining high standards of service and preparedness. By updating to a modern air and light unit, the LPFD can continue to provide reliable support during emergencies, enhance the safety and effectiveness of first responders, and ensure compliance with current operational standards.
Staff researched the types and styles of engines exhaustively. While there are many engine types, their purpose differs. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) classifies engines by type and function. A Type 1 Fire Truck is a structural firefighting truck designed to carry 3-4 firefighters and all required NFPA firefighting equipment, and is the most common type of Engine in use today.
Staff researched all potential manufacturers to select a vendor. Pierce Manufacturing Inc. (Pierce) was found to be the only vendor with any stock engines available for purchase. LPFD staff reviewed the apparatus specifications and procurement documents provided by Pierce and determined that the Enforcer Light/Breathing Air Heavy-Duty Rescue Type 1 Fire Engine met the general specifications; Pierce confirmed that it has the capacity to build the apparatus according to City specifications. Pierce quoted the City a price of $1,565,172 for the engine, inclusive of approximately 10 percent contingency. Staff found the bid from Pierce to be fair and reasonable.
Sourcewell Account # 113021-OKC, ID #211-Member #33554 (formerly known as NJPA) was established with the statutory purpose of assisting public agencies in meeting specific needs that are more efficiently delivered cooperatively than by an entity individually. Jurisdiction clients can utilize cooperative purchasing contracts through similar joint powers, intergovernmental cooperation, or cooperative purchasing laws in their respective jurisdictions.
Participating agencies include all eligible government, education, and nonprofit agencies nationwide and in Canada.
Due to ongoing supply chain problems, purchasing and delivering fire apparatus has become difficult. New fire apparatus purchases can take 45–48 months from the order date until delivery. Staff recommends ordering the selected apparatus during FY 2024/25 to meet the target of FY 2027/28 delivery.
EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
Not applicable, as this item is a routine matter of City business.
OUTREACH
No outreach was conducted, as this item is a routine matter of City business.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this action advances the Citywide ONE Pleasanton strategic plan goal of Safeguarding our City: Strategy 1 - Assess the City’s overall emergency preparedness capabilities, resources, and tools and implement changes as needed to ensure the City is properly positioned to respond to disasters.
FISCAL IMPACT
This purchase will be funded by the Fire Apparatus Replacement Fund (Fund 513). Funding for Fund 513 is from the General Fund. Given the critical importance of this apparatus, staff recommends appropriating $1,565,172 in Org 51320113 and Object 440107 (Vehicles). With this purchase, after accounting for costs associated with prior purchases including three Type 6 Engines purchases and one Enforcer 1500 GPM Pumper Type 1 Fire Engine, the estimated fund balance is approximately $650,000, which is a very low reserve level considering the
number of fire vehicles the City owns and their expected replacement costs. This $650,000 includes $250,000 in a one-time contribution from the General Fund that the City Council approved at its December 19, 2023 meeting based on staff's recommendation to allocate FY 2022/23 available fund balance. This type of additional contribution from the General Fund cannot be expected every year. Given the very low fund balance in the Fire Apparatus Replacement Fund, a near-term priority will be to build back up the reserve level.

Exhibit “A”
2
1 STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. Definitions.
a. “Agreement” has the meaning given in the Product Proposal. b. “Customer” means the customer identified in the Product Proposal. c. “Dealer Preparation,” if applicable, means additional product(s) and/or services added by GSFA after Manufacturer’s completion of the Product and prior to delivery, in accordance with the Dealer Supplied Products/Services List.
d. “Delivery Date” means the Product Completion timeframe plus the Predelivery Service timeframe equals the Delivery Date.
e. “Dealer Supplied Products/Services List” means the Dealer Supplied Products and/or Services List attached to the Product Proposal as Exhibit D, which reflects all Dealer Preparation under the Agreement absent a valid Change Order(s).

g. “GSFA” means Golden State Fire Apparatus, Inc., a California corporation. h. “Manufacturer” means the person or persons, company, firm, corporation, partnership, or other organization identified in the Product Proposal as responsible for manufacturing the Product. i. “Party” or “Parties” means GSFA and/or Customer, as applicable. j. “Predelivery Service” means the Products and/or Services that will be provided by GSFA after transportation of the Product(s) from the manufacturing facility and prior to Final Delivery or Pick-Up. k. “Prepayment Discount” means a discount to the purchase price for the Product granted to Customer in connection with Customer’s advance payment of the Grand Total Purchase Price (or portion thereof, as specified in the Product Proposal).
l. “Product” means the fire apparatus(es) and any associated equipment listed in the Product Proposal and further described in the Specifications.

p. “Specifications” means the specifications for the Product attached to the Product Proposal as Exhibit B. q. “Terms and Conditions” means these Standard Terms and Conditions, which are attached to the Product Proposal as Exhibit A.
2. Purchase and Payment.
a. Purchase. Customer agrees to purchase the Product at the Grand Total Purchase Price (as such amount may be adjusted in accordance with these Terms and Conditions), pursuant to the payment terms set forth in the Product Proposal. The Grand Total Purchase Price is payable in U.S. dollars. b. Contingency Reserve Fund. The Grand Total Purchase Price may include an amount to be set aside for the purpose of funding any future costs or financial obligations incurred by Customer under the Product Proposal or any valid Change Order(s) (the “Contingency Reserve Fund”). If applicable, the amount of any required Contingency Reserve Fund will be set forth in either the Product Proposal or Exhibit D. The Contingency Reserve Fund may be withdrawn against by Customer or GSFA for the purpose of satisfying Customer’s payment obligations under the initial Product Proposal or any valid Change Order(s) (including, without limitation, a Change Order submitted by GSFA pursuant to Section 8.b). If a Contingency Reserve Fund is required under the Agreement, the amount of such fund is not intended as an estimate of the actual additional costs of contingencies, Change Orders, unforeseen items
2 or other required work that may be incurred under the Agreement after submission of the Product Proposal to Customer, which amounts Customer acknowledges may exceed the Contingency Reserve Fund amount. The balance of any Contingency Reserve Fund will be credited against Customer’s payment obligations, or otherwise returned to Customer within thirty (30) calendar days of delivery of all Products under the Agreement (provided that Customer has paid all amounts owed under the Agreement as of such date). c. Prepayment Discount. If GSFA has granted Customer a Prepayment Discount, Customer must provide each associated prepayment (each, a “Prepayment”) within the time frame specified in the Product Proposal in order to receive such discount. Customer’s failure to timely make such Prepayment may result in: (i) GSFA’s termination of the Agreement; and/or (ii) Customer’s loss of the Prepayment Discount for the portion of the Grand Total Purchase Price represented by such outstanding Prepayment and the application of a late fee as set forth in Section 6, in each case in GSFA’s sole discretion.
d. State Sales Tax. Customer shall be responsible for the cost of state sales tax associated with, or attributable to, the Product. The taxes stated in the Product Proposal are subject to adjustment for the applicable state sales tax rate in effect at the time of delivery. Therefore, the sales tax set forth on the Product Proposal is only an estimate of such taxes and will be increased or decreased at the time of delivery if a change in the applicable sales tax rate has occurred, in which case Customer shall pay GSFA (or be refunded by GSFA) the difference in the applicable sales tax.
3. Product Completion Date. Within thirty (30) calendar days of the date on which the last required signatory executes the Product Proposal (such date, the “Executed Date”), GSFA shall submit to Customer a tentative Product completion date (which may differ from the Product completion estimate contained in the Product Proposal). Due to global supply chain constraints, any Product completion date contained herein, or in the Product Proposal, or otherwise provided to Customer, is a good faith estimate only as of the date provided to Customer, and merely an approximation based on current information available to GSFA and Manufacturer. Customer shall not be entitled to rely on any such estimate, and GSFA shall have no liability to Customer for a failure by GSFA or Manufacturer to meet any such estimate. All Product completion estimates are subject to modification and, if applicable, GSFA will provide updates to such estimates to Customer when available.
4. Stock / Demo Units. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in the Agreement (including Section 12 hereof concerning warranties), any Products constituting stock/demo unit(s) are sold to Customer on an as-is, first-come and first served-basis and GSFA makes no further representation or warranty to any customer with respect to such unit(s). Regardless of the terms of the Product Proposal, GSFA shall only be obligated to sell such stock/demo unit(s) to the first customer to enter into a purchase agreement with GSFA identifying such unit(s), and after the execution by GSFA of such agreement any subsequent purchase agreement (including the Agreement, as applicable) shall have no further force or effect with respect to such unit(s).
5. Multiple Unit Purchase. If the Grand Total Purchase Price includes pricing for multiple Products, the Product price stated in the Product Proposal shall only be valid if the quantity of Products being proposed are purchased at the same time, pursuant to the same Agreement. GSFA shall have no obligation to offer the same price for any Product if purchased by Customer pursuant to a later purchase agreement.
6. Late Fee; Storage Fee. A late fee equal to 0.033% of the outstanding portion of the Grand Total Purchase Price will be charged per calendar day for overdue payments beginning ten (10) calendar days after the payment is due and continuing for the first thirty (30) calendar days thereafter. After such thirty (30) calendar day period, the late fee shall increase to 0.044% per calendar day until payment of the outstanding portion of the Grand Total Purchase Price is received. If Customer is unable to satisfy the delivery requirements hereunder or is unwilling to take delivery of the Product, then GSFA shall be entitled to a storage charge running from the earlier of: (i) the date of delivery agreed to between GSFA and Customer (provided GSFA is willing and able to deliver the Product on such date), or (ii) twenty-one (21) calendar days after GSFA notifies Customer that the Product is available for delivery. The storage charge is equal to: (i) $175.00 per calendar day per apparatus stored, or (ii) the actual charges incurred by GSFA with a third party for storage of the Product, whichever is greater. Such storage charge shall continue until the actual time
3 of delivery and Customer’s possession of the Product, and any such storage by GSFA or such third party shall be at the sole risk of Customer.
7. Delivery; Inspection and Acceptance.
a. Delivery. Subject to Section 5 hereof, the Product is scheduled to be delivered to the location and within the time period specified in the Product Proposal. Such delivery date is an estimate, and GSFA is, notwithstanding this Section 7.a, not bound to such date unless it otherwise agrees in a separate writing to complete delivery by a date certain. For the avoidance of doubt, GSFA is not responsible for delivery delays caused by or because of actions, omissions or conduct of Customer, the Manufacturer, or their respective employees, affiliates, suppliers, contractors, and carriers. Risk of loss for the Product shall pass to Customer at the point and time of delivery (which shall include an attempted delivery by GSFA which cannot be completed due to any act of Customer). However, title to the Product shall only pass to Customer upon delivery if Customer has then fully paid GSFA all amounts due hereunder (including additional amounts due under any valid Change Order). Absent GSFA’s separate written agreement, which it may or may not provide in its sole and absolute discretion, delivery of the Product will not occur before Customer has fully paid all amounts due under the Agreement and provided proof of insurance reasonably satisfactory to GSFA. If GSFA permits Customer to take possession of the Product, Customer may not mount equipment, conduct training, or place the Product into service until all amounts due under the Agreement have been paid. If Customer has ordered multiple Products, GSFA reserves the right to deliver such Products in installments and to separately invoice Customer for such Products.
b. Inspection and Acceptance. Upon delivery, Customer shall have ten (10) calendar days within which to inspect the Product for substantial conformance to the Specifications, and in the event of substantial nonconformance to the Specifications to furnish GSFA with written notice sufficient to permit GSFA to evaluate such non-conformance (“Notice of Nonconformance to Specifications”). Contingent upon part availability and Customer’s cooperation, any Product not in substantial conformance to material Specifications shall be remedied by GSFA (by repair or replacement, at GSFA’s election) within thirty (30) calendar days from GSFA’s receipt of the Notice of Nonconformance to Specifications. In the event GSFA does not receive a Notice of Nonconformance to Specifications within ten (10) calendar days of delivery, the Product will be deemed to be in conformance with Specifications and accepted by Customer.
8. Changes to Agreement Terms.
a. Change Orders. The Customer may request that GSFA incorporate a change to the Product or the Specifications for the Product, or GSFA may submit changes to the Agreement required or permitted to be made by GSFA (pursuant to Section 8.b or otherwise) by delivering a written Change Order to the other party hereto, which shall include a description of the proposed change sufficient to permit the receiving party to evaluate such change (either, a “Change Order”). For any Change Order submitted by Customer, GSFA will provide Customer a written response (a “Response”) stating (i) whether GSFA will accommodate such Change Order (which GSFA may decide in its sole and absolute discretion); and (ii) the terms of the modification to the order, including any increase or decrease in the Grand Total Purchase Price resulting from such Change Order, a date on which any increase in the Grand Total Purchase Price must be paid, and an estimate of any effect on production scheduling or delivery resulting from such Change Order. Customer shall have seven (7) calendar days after receipt of the Response to notify GSFA as to whether Customer desires to make the changes GSFA has approved in the Response. In the event Customer countersigns GSFA’s Response, Customer shall pay the increase (or be refunded the decrease) in the Grand Total Purchase Price by the date specified in the Response. GSFA may also send Customer a Change Order to account for any changes to the Agreement required or permitted to be made by GSFA (including those changes required pursuant to Section 8.b hereof), and such Change Order shall be effective upon delivery to Customer unless Customer elects to terminate the applicable Product order under the Agreement in accordance with Section 9.
4 b. Additional Changes.
i. Component Price Volatility; Increases Imposed by Manufacturer. GSFA shall not be responsible for (i) any unforeseen price increase or surcharge enacted by suppliers of major components of the Product (including but not limited to commercial chassis, engine, transmission, and fire pump); or (ii) price increases imposed on GSFA by Manufacturer pursuant to Manufacturer’s terms and conditions for sale of the Product (a “Manufacturer Price Increase”), after Customer becomes bound by the Agreement. Customer shall be responsible for all amounts arising from any price increases for major components of the Product (including all associated taxes and fees thereon) for the Product or any Manufacturer Price Increases occurring after the execution of the Agreement which increases the cost of the Product to GSFA, and such amounts will be documented on a Change Order adjusting the Grand Total Purchase Price accordingly. Customer shall pay any such price increase prior to Product delivery. A Manufacturer Price Increase may include, but shall not be limited to, an increase in Product price resulting from an increase in the Producer Price Index of Components for Manufacturing (see www.bls.gov Series ID: WPUID6112) in excess of a compounded annual growth rate of five percent (5%), as measured between the month Manufacturer accepts the applicable Product order and the month that is fourteen (14) months prior to the then-current estimated Product completion date (the foregoing, a “PPI-Based Price Increase”). If, upon Customer’s receipt of a Change Order reflecting a PPI-Based Price Increase, Customer elects to terminate the applicable Product Order in accordance with Section 8.b.iii rather than pay such increase, then in lieu of the cancellation fees described in Section 9.a hereof GSFA shall be entitled to recover and Customer shall pay GSFA’s actual non-reimbursable costs incurred in connection with the Product order through the date of Customer’s termination of such Product order. ii. New Legal Standards. In the event the Product design, materials or specifications require an alteration arising from new regulations issued by any governmental entity or trade association, including, but not limited to, the NFPA, DOT, and EPA, and such alteration increases the cost of the Product to GSFA, Customer shall be responsible for changes to the Grand Total Purchase Price arising from such alteration. GSFA shall promptly notify Customer when it becomes aware of any potential or required change in regulations occurring prior to delivery that would impact the Product purchased.
iii. Change Orders. Customer shall execute any Change Order submitted by GSFA documenting any of the changes required or permitted by Sections 8.b.i and 8.b.ii above (which shall, to the extent practicable, itemize any increases in the Grant Total Purchase Price and specify a commercially reasonable date by which Customer must pay such increase), unless Customer instead elects to terminate the applicable Product order under the Agreement within fifteen (15) calendar days of Customer’s receipt of such Change Order and in accordance with Section 9.
Absent such a termination, failure to execute a Change Order does not alter Customer’s obligations under this Section 8.b.
c. Changes in Commercial Specifications. Specifications for all components of the Product manufactured by companies other than the Manufacturer are subject to change without notice. Specifications for such components will be as available at the time of manufacture of the Product. GSFA shall not be liable for any deviations in such specifications arising from a substitution of components or changes in the design of any component by their original manufacturer.
9. Termination.
a. By Customer. Customer may terminate a Product order identified in the Product Proposal or a Change Order by providing written notice to GSFA in accordance with Section 16 hereof. If Customer elects to terminate a Product order, Customer shall pay GSFA a cancellation fee as follows: (a) after the Product order is accepted and entered by GSFA, 10% of the portion of the Grand Total Purchase Price applicable to such Product (including all associated taxes, fees and costs) (such amount, the “Product Purchase Price”); (b) after completion of the preconstruction phase of the order process, 20% of the Product Purchase Price; and (c) after the requisition of any materials or commencement of any manufacturing or assembly of the Product by either GSFA or Manufacturer but before substantial completion of such Product, 50% of the Product Purchase Price. Customer shall not be permitted to terminate a Product order after substantial completion of manufacturing and assembly of such Product (excluding
5 any Dealer Preparation or other pre-delivery services or untypical Product customization, if applicable).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the applicable tier of cancellation fee is not sufficient to cover all actual costs and fees incurred by GSFA with Manufacturer in connection with Customer’s termination of the Product order (“Manufacturer Termination Fees”), then in addition to such cancellation fee Customer shall pay the balance of all Manufacturer Termination Fees. If Customer received a Prepayment Discount, such discount shall not be considered for the purpose of calculating the above cancellation fee. The tier of cancellation fee applicable to any cancellation, as well as the determination of whether a Product has reached substantial completion, shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of GSFA. Customer may request a fee waiver, and GSFA, in its sole discretion, may agree to waive and/or adjust such fee. GSFA will return the balance of the Grand Total Purchase Price or Product Purchase Price, as applicable, within thirty (30) calendar days of the effective date of the cancellation of the Product order or termination of the Agreement.
Customer may terminate the Agreement for an Event of Default by GSFA after providing GSFA with written notice in accordance with Section 16 (which notice shall describe with reasonably particularity the Event of Default justifying such termination) if such Event of Default remains uncured (if capable of cure) thirty (30) days following GSFA’s receipt of such notice; provided, however, that the foregoing cure period shall continue if and for so long as GSFA has commenced and is continuing to undertake commercially reasonable efforts to cure such Event of Default as promptly as reasonably practicable.
b. By GSFA. GSFA may terminate the Agreement for an Event of Default by Customer after providing Customer with written notice in accordance with Section 16 (which notice shall describe with reasonably particularity the Event of Default justifying such termination) if such Event of Default remains uncured (if capable of cure) thirty (30) days following Customer’s receipt of such notice; provided, however, that the foregoing cure period shall continue if and for so long as Customer has commenced and is continuing to undertake commercially reasonable efforts to cure such Event of Default as promptly as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, GSFA may terminate the Agreement effective immediately upon written notice to Customer for Customer’s failure to pay any amount owed under the Agreement when due.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if Customer terminates a Product order in accordance with Section 9.a above, GSFA may elect to instead terminate the Agreement upon notice to Customer in accordance with Section 16 hereof. If GSFA terminates the Agreement in accordance with this Section 9.b, Customer shall pay the applicable tier of cancellation fee for all Products pursuant to Section 9.a above as if Customer had elected to terminate each applicable Product order.
c. Based on Discontinuation or Cancellation by Manufacturer. In the event that Manufacturer cancels a Product order (provided that such cancellation is not the result of an act by Customer in violation of the Agreement) or discontinues the manufacture of a Product prior to its completion and delivery: (i) if such Product is the only Product contemplated under the Agreement, then the Agreement shall terminate; or (ii) if additional Products are contemplated under the Agreement, then only the Product order for the applicable cancelled or discontinued Product shall be terminated. Such Agreement termination or Product termination, as applicable, shall be effective upon GSFA’s written notice to Customer of such cancellation or discontinuance in accordance with Section 16 hereof.
GSFA’s only obligation to Customer in such event shall be the return of any Prepayment paid by Customer for the cancelled or discontinued Product. For the avoidance of doubt, the cancellation fees contemplated in Section 9.a hereof shall not apply in the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 9.c.
10. Customer’s Obligations. Customer shall provide its timely and best efforts to cooperate with GSFA and Manufacturer during the Product manufacturing process. Reasonable and timely cooperation includes, without limitation, Customer’s providing timely information in response to any requests from Manufacturer or GSFA and the participation of Customer’s authorized representatives in traveling to Manufacturer’s facility for inspections and approval of the Product, including a final approval before the Product leaves Manufacturer’s facility.
11. Representations and Warranties. Customer hereby represents and warrants to GSFA as of the Executed Date that the execution of the Agreement and the purchase of the Product(s) and performance of the other obligations
6 of Customer under the Agreement have been approved by Customer in accordance with applicable general laws and, as applicable, Customer’s charter, ordinances, purchasing policies, and other governing documents, and executed by the appropriate Customer employees, officials, and/or representatives, and funding for Customer’s performance of its obligations under the Agreement has been duly budgeted and appropriated by Customer.
12. Standard Warranty. All applicable Manufacturer warranties are contained in the Product Warranties. Any additional warranties must be expressly approved in a writing signed by GSFA, and Customer acknowledges and agrees that Manufacturer will not be liable for any such additional warranties. a. Disclaimer. OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THE AGREEMENT, GSFA, ITS AFFILIATES, AND THEIR

14. Indemnification of GSFA. Customer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless GSFA, its agents, servants, successors and assigns from and against all losses, damages, injuries, claims, demands and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses, of whatever nature (“Damages”), to the extent Damages arise out of or in connection with: (i) Customer’s breach of the Agreement, or (ii) Customer’s use, storage, or operation of the Product following delivery, regardless of where, how, and by whom operated (excluding any negligent operation by GSFA).
The indemnification and assumptions of liability and obligation herein provided shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination of the Agreement, whether by expiration of time, by operation of law or otherwise.

0766614 Boiler Plates, Heavy Duty Rescue
GSFA is pleased to submit a proposal to Livermore Pleasanton Fire Department for a Pierce® Heavy Duty Rescue per your request for quotation. The following paragraphs will describe in detail the apparatus, construction methods, and equipment proposed. This proposal will indicate size, type, model and make of components parts and equipment, providing proof of compliance with each and every item (except where noted) in the departments advertised specifications.
PIERCE MANUFACTURING was founded in 1913. Since then we have been building bodies with one philosophy, "BUILD THE FINEST". Our skilled craftsmen take pride in their work, which is reflected, in the final product. We have been building fire apparatus since the early "forties" giving Pierce Manufacturing over 75 years of experience in the fire apparatus market. Pierce Manufacturing has built and put into service more than 62,500 apparatus, including more than 33,900 on Pierce custom chassis designed and built specifically for fire and emergency applications. Our Appleton, Wisconsin facility has over 870,000 total square feet of floor space situated on approximately 105 acres of land. Our Bradenton, Florida facility has 300,000 square feet of floor space situated on approximately 38 acres of land.
Our beliefs in high ethical standards are carried through in all of our commitments and to everyone with whom we do business. Honesty, Integrity, Accountability and Citizenship are global tenets by which we all live and work. Consequently, we neither engage in, nor have we ever been convicted of price fixing, bid rigging, or collusion in any domestic or international fire apparatus market.
Pierce has only one brand of fire apparatus "Pierce", ensuring you are receiving top of the line product that meets your specification.
In accordance with the current edition of applicable NFPA standards, this proposal will specify whether the fire department, manufacturer, or apparatus dealership will provide required loose equipment.
Images and illustrative material in this proposal are as accurate as known at the time of publication, but are subject to change without notice. Images and illustrative material is for reference only, and may include optional equipment and accessories and may not include all standard equipment.
GENERAL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
To control quality, ensure compatibility, and provide a single source for service and warranty, the custom cab, chassis, pump module and body will be entirely designed, assembled/welded and painted in Pierce owned manufacturing facilities. This includes, but not limited to the cab weldment, the pumphouse module assembly, the chassis assembly, the body and the electrical system.
QUALITY AND WORKMANSHIP
Pierce has set the pace for quality and workmanship in the fire apparatus field. Our tradition of building the highest quality units with craftsmen second to none has been the rule right from the beginning and we demonstrate that ongoing commitment by: Ensuring all steel welding follows American Welding Society D1.1-2004 recommendations for structural steel welding. All aluminum welding follows American Welding society and ANSI D1.2-2003 requirements for structural welding of aluminum. All sheet metal welding follows American welding Society B2.1-2000 requirements for structural welding of sheet metal. Our flux core arc welding uses alloy rods, type 7000 and is performed to American Welding Society standards A5.20-E70T1. Furthermore, all employees classified as welders are tested and certified to meet the American welding Society codes upon hire and every three (3) years thereafter. Pierce also employs and American Welding Society certified welding inspector in plant during working hours to monitor weld quality.
Pierce Manufacturing operates a Quality Management System under the requirements of ISO 9001. These standards sponsored by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) specify the quality systems that are established by the manufacturer for design, manufacture, installation and service. A copy of the certificate of compliance is included with this proposal.
In addition to the Quality Management system, we also employ a Quality Achievement Supplier program to ensure the vendors and suppliers that we utilize meet the high standards we demand.
That is just part of our overall "Quality at the Source" program at Pierce.
To demonstrate the quality of our products and services, a list of at least twenty five (25) fire departments/municipalities that have purchased vehicles for a second time is provided.

0633906 Axle, Front, Oshkosh TAK-4, Non
Drive, 18,000 lb, Enforcer
FRONT NON DRIVE AXLE
The Oshkosh TAK-4® front axle will be of the independent suspension design with a ground rating of 18,000 lb.
Upper and lower control arms will be used on each side of the axle. Upper control arm castings will be made of 100,000-psi yield strength 8630 steel and the lower control arm casting will be made of 55,000-psi yield ductile iron.
The center cross members and side plates will be constructed out of 80,000-psi yield strength steel.
Each control arm will be mounted to the center section using elastomer bushings. These rubber bushings will rotate on low friction plain bearings and be lubricated for life. Each bushing will also have a flange end to absorb longitudinal impact loads, reducing noise and vibrations.
There will be nine (9) grease fittings supplied, one (1) on each control arm pivot and one (1) on the steering gear extension.
The upper control arm will be shorter than the lower arm so that wheel end geometry provides positive camber when deflected below rated load and negative camber above rated load.
Camber at load will be zero degrees for optimum tire life.
The ball joint bearing will be of low friction design and be maintenance free.
Toe links that are adjustable for alignment of the wheel to the center of the chassis will be provided.
The wheel ends must have little to no bump steer when the chassis encounters a hole or obstacle.
The steering linkage will provide proper steering angles for the inside and outside wheel, based on the vehicle wheelbase.
The axle will have a turning angle of up to 45 degrees. 0633905 Suspension, Front TAK-4, 18,000 lb,
Enforcer/SFR
FRONT SUSPENSION
Front Oshkosh TAK-4™ independent suspension will be provided with a minimum ground rating of 18,000 lb.
The independent suspension system will be designed to provide maximum ride comfort. The design will allow the vehicle to travel at highway speeds over improved road surfaces and moderate speeds over rough terrain with minimal transfer of road shock and vibration to the vehicle's crew compartment.
Each wheel will have a torsion bar type spring. In addition, each front wheel end will have energy absorbing jounce bumpers to prevent bottoming of the suspension.
The suspension design will have at least 10.00" of total wheel travel and a minimum of 3.75" before suspension bottoms.
The torsion bar anchor lock system allows for simple lean adjustments without the use of shims.
One can adjust for a lean within fifteen minutes per side. Anchor adjustment design is such that it allows for ride height adjustment on each side.
The independent suspension completed durability testing that simulated 140,000 miles of inner city driving.
