individual or tribal group on the NAHC list by letter and email and a follow-up phone call, if necessary. Any formal consultation with Native American individuals and/ or groups will be conducted by the Corps.
Pedestrian Survey. —Stantec will complete an intensive pedestrian survey of the project' s Area of Potential Effects ( APE), defined by Stantec' s senior archaeologist, to identify any cultural resources.
The survey will be conducted by walking transects spaced no greater than 15 meters apart over the entire project APE. The pedestrian survey will identify:
the presence/ absence of cultural resources visible on the surface; the present condition of the local environment;
environmental factors that may have affected use of the areas by prehistoric and historic occupants ( e. g., elevation, food or material resources, Proximity to water); and environmental factors that may have limited the survival or visibility of archeological remains e. g., erosion, modem disturbance).
A maximum of three existing sites or newly identified sites ( e. g., historic buildings, linear features, lithic scatters) identified within the project APE will be updated and/ or recorded in a manner consistent with the Secretary of the Interior' s Standard and Guidelines for Identification of Cultural Resources ( 48 CFR 44720- 23). If necessary, California Department of Parks and Recreation Series 523 forms will be prepared, along with appropriate supporting forms ( e. g., archeological site record, linear feature records, site sketch map, location map).
Cultural Resources Investigation Report. Upon completion of the cultural resources investigation, Stantec will prepare a cultural resources investigation report documenting the findings of the research and pedestrian survey. The report will include information and follow the format described in the Archeological Resource Management Reports: Recommended Contents and Formal California Office of Historic Preservation 1979) and complies with the Corps Guidelines for Compliance with Sections 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (March 24, 2014). This report will include an overview of the project' s regulatory, environmental, and cultural contexts; discuss Native American community outreach and communication efforts; describe any cultural resources documented in the APE; and provide a National Register of Historic Places ( NRNP) eligibility recommendation for each recorded site or feature. ( Note: This proposal does not include any investigations to provide formal determinations of NRNP eligibility for any cultural resources in the project APE.) Because of the confidential nature of cultural resources information, the report will be provided as a stand- alone report to be submitted to the City and will not be distributed to the public.

Trenching is needed to install needed lighting along the existing and proposed Phase 2a roadway. The proposed roadway segment is needed for construction access. Work would be completed in 2022, prior to construction of the larger Phase 2b roadway planned for 2023.
Following is our understanding of the proposed scope of work, a tentative completion schedule, and our cost estimate.
Project Understanding
The City proposes to install lighting along its existing Ventura Parkway, the primary road through the Stillwater Business Park, and the proposed roadway offshoot known as the Phase 2a road segment.
Lighting installation would involve the placement of conduit into trenches that would be aligned along both sides of the roads and the installation of streetlights.
To allow for development of a property within the Stillwater Business Park, an approximately 1, 000 -foot section of Phase 2a roadway is needed immediately. The proposed roadway segment would cross a small drainage where the City would install a 36 -inch diameter culvert, sized for buildout of parcels served by the proposed road.
Accordingly, Stantec' s existing Phase 2 contract with the City ( C- 9021) would be amended to include the following tasks ( tasks 2 and 3). No changes would be made to the scope of work previously authorized for Task 1: Preliminary Environmental Review.

Reference: Proposal to Modify Environmental Services for the City of Redding' s Stillwater Business Park Phase 2 Roadway Project Contract ( C- 9021)
Task 2: Wetland Delineation - Venture Parkway Lighting and Phase 2a Road Segment
Stantec will use Corps methodology to conduct a delineation of aquatic resources for the known bioswales and drainage that are anticipated to be impacted by trenching for lighting installation and construction of the Phase 2a roadway alignment. We will also assess and delineate ( if appropriate) other potentially federal and state jurisdictional features along the approximately 8, 350 foot alignment.
Stantec will prepare a map ( minimum scale of 1"= 200') using geographic information systems technology on a base topographic map( s) or aerial imagery provided by the City. Findings will be summarized in a brief technical memorandum that describes the feature( s) characteristics in the context of federal three - parameter and state one -parameter jurisdictional criteria and will include a determination of potential jurisdiction. The City will provide the project design in CAD format that Stantec will overlay onto the map.
Project -related impacts on jurisdictional feature( s) will be quantified in a table.
Deliverables: Electronic version of the draft wetland delineation technical memorandum, including a delineation/ impacts figure; final electronic version of the technical memorandum and figure
Meeting( s): Attendance by a Stantec wetland scientist at one ( 1) field meeting with a Corps representative to verify the delineation, if required Task 3. Biological Resources Assessment Addendum - Venture Parkway Lighting and Phase 2a Road Segment
Stantec will prepare an addendum to the Stillwater Business Park Project Biological Assessment for Wildlife and Plants report ( North State Resources 2006) that will include an updated description of the environmental setting, updated species lists, and a summary of potential impacts on special -status species if applicable) as a result of the Venture Parkway lighting installation and Phase 2a road construction.
Stantec will request updated species lists from the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service ( USFWS) and National Marine Fisheries Service(NMFS) biogeographic database and list generator; conduct a new query of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife' s ( CDFW' s) California Natural Diversity Database ( CNDDB) for reported occurrences of special -status species within 5 miles of the study area; and conduct a new query of the California Native Plant Society' s Online Inventory to determine potentially occurring special - status plant species within the study area. A site visit will be conducted to assess the Venture Parkway lighting installation and Phase 2a road segment study area limits for potentially sensitive biological resources that may not have been a part of the original biological assessment and to update environmental conditions.
Stantec will also verify any changes in vegetation communities and habitat types. If applicable, prior habitat impact mapping will be revised to reflect current site conditions. The results will be summarized in a technical memorandum that functions as an addendum to the 2006 biological assessment. If applicable, the addendum will also include revisions to impacts and proposed mitigation measures. It is assumed that no special -status species surveys will need to be conducted and that follow up Section 7 Endangered Species Act consultations with NMFS and USFWS are not required at this time.

Attention: Ms. Amber Kelley, Environmental Compliance Manager City of Redding
777 Cypress Avenue
Redding, CA 96001
Dear Ms. Kelley,
I Reference: Proposal to Provide Environmental Services for the City of Redding' s Stillwater Business Park Phase II Roadway Project
Thank you for your request to submit a proposal to provide environmental services in support of the City of Redding' s( City) Stillwater Business Park Phase II Roadway Project( project). We understand that the City is proposing to extend Venture Parkway south to connect with Fig Tree Lane and Airport Road. The project will be funded using City/ local funding, and the current Public Works on- call consultant list will be used to obtain environmental support services. There are no disadvantaged business enterprise( DBE) requirements included for this project.
The City' s Request for Proposals ( RFP) is requesting a scope of work, tentative completion schedule, and cost estimate to conduct a preliminary review of available environmental documentation and technical studies to determine the additional work that will be needed to support project approval. Following is a I project understanding, our proposed scope of work, a tentative completion schedule, and our cost estimate.
Project Understanding
The City is proposing to extend Venture Parkway south to connect to Airport Road. The limit of investigation for this work will be confined to the Environmental Study Limits ( ESL) provided by the City in the RFP attached). In addition to roadway construction on Venture Parkway, the project would widen Fig Tree Lane and realign its current intersection with Airport Road. Traffic signals will be installed at the Fig Tree Lane and Airport Road intersection. Additional features include the installation of lighting, storm drains, water, sewer, joint trench, and fencing. The proposed Venture Parkway alignment' s bridge over Stillwater Creek has already been constructed so Section 7 Endangered Species Act consultation with National Marine Fisheries Service and California Endangered Species Act consultation with the California Department of Fish& Wildlife is not anticipated with respect to project effects to listed salmonid species. The project will require regulatory permits since project implementation would result in fill of jurisdictional waters. The target construction year is 2023 ( consultation and permit dependent). Approval of the project will require a discretionary approval by the Redding City Council.
The project appears to fall within the scope of the program Environmental Impact Report ( EIR/ Environmental Impact Statement( EIS) that was adopted by the City in 2006. The City served as lead agency under both the California Environmental Quality Act( CEQA) and the National Environmental Policy Act( NEPA), as delegated by the U. S Department of Housing and Urban Development. Due to the age of this document, the City is seeking environmental review assistance to identify any potential updated De>i.;^- w!"h conw7unily it mird'

technical studies that may be necessaryto support project approval and issuance of regulatory permits. A staged approach will be used to ensure the current proposed project is compliant with CEQA and NEPA, as described below:
II
Step 1: Preliminary Environmental Review
Review the 2006 EIR/ EIS, supporting technical studies, associated mapping, and any other pertinent documentation that is available in the City' s project file. i
Determine if the scope of the current project falls within the scope of the program EIR/ EIS, if substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances, and if new information of substantial importance has become available since the EIR/ EIS was adopted.
I
Determine if new or updated technical studies would be needed to support the environmental compliance and permitting effort for the Phase II Roadway Project.
Provide a memorandum summarizing the results of the preliminary environmental review.
Step 2: Supplemental Studies Documentation and Regulatory Agency Permitting Perform any supplemental surveys, technical studies, and prepare or update reports and mapping.
Prepare a CEQA Initial Study/ Negative Declaration/ Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Phase II Roadway Project.
Prepare a NEPA re- evaluation/ revalidation memorandum or report that documents the new studies and findings.
Prepare regulatory agency permits on behalf of the City.
I
Provide permitting support to the City in response to regulatory agency comments. i
The City is requesting a proposal only for the Step 1 tasks at this time. Upon completion of Step 1, the City may request a proposal for completion of the Step 2 tasks. j Assumptions
This scope of work and cost estimate is based on the following assumptions.
The City will provide to Stantec all available environmental compliance documentation, supporting technical studies, and mapping upon execution of this scope of work.
The City will provided a comprehensive project description of the updated project and identify any areas where the project differs from the one analyzed in the previous EIS/ EIR, as applicable.

Ms. Amber Kelley, Environmental Compliance Manager
Reference: Proposal to Provide Environmental Services for the City of Redding' s Stillwater Business Park Phase II Roadway Project The City will contract separately with a traffic engineering firm to review available documentation and to make recommendations on any updated traffic studies.
i Step 2 tasks are excluded from this scope of work.
Scope of Work
Based on our expertise and understanding of the proposed project and guidance provided by the City, we propose the following scope of work.
Task 1; Preliminary Environmental Review
Upon receipt from the City, Stantec will review the 2006 EIR/ EIS, supporting technical studies, associated mapping, regulatory permits, and any other pertinent documentation that are available in the City' s project file. We will review current plans and project description for the Phase II Roadway Project and compare with the 2006 EIR/ EIS and any previously issued permits to determine if the scope of the current project falls within the scope of the original EIR/ EIS. We will assess each resource topic area— except traffic, which will be addressed by GHD under separate contract with the City—to verify if substantial changes have occurred with respect to environmental circumstances, including site conditions or regulation updates.
We will also identify any new information of substantial importance that has become available since the EIR/ EIS was adopted. A Stantec biologist will conduct an initial site reconnaissance of the project study limits to determine if there have been substantive changes to biological conditions( e. g., limits of jurisdictional waters, new elderberry shrubs, etc.) and will record observations of any change.
Following a comprehensive review of the available documentation and current project information and regulatory conditions, Stantec will determine if new or updated technical studies will be needed to support the environmental compliance and permitting effort for the Phase II Roadway Project. This information will be compiled and summarized in a preliminary environmental review memorandum, which will be submitted to the City for review and comment. If necessary, we will revise the memorandum to incorporate City comments and submit a final memorandum.
j Under this task, Stantec will also maintain an open line of communication with the City( as appropriate) throughout the duration of the project. This will be accomplished through a combination of up to two( 2) one- hour conference calls, as well as informal communications( e. g., e- mails).
Deliverables: Meeting notes; emails summarizing conversations; recommendations memorandum.
Meeting( s): Attendance at up to two( 2) one- hour team calls.
Completion Schedule

Re: 4. 11( g)--Stillwater Business Park Phase 2 Infrastructure Improvement Project Page 2 Background/Analysis
The City is responsible for infrastructure improvements at Stillwater Business Park, including street lights, paving, landscaping, and utility installation. At the mid-year budget review in February 2021, the Council approved an allocation of $500, 000 out of the proceeds from land sales to fund the design of the infrastructure improvements at the Park.
In August 2021, the Council approved the appropriation of$ 150, 000 for the construction bid for Phase 1C of this project that included the installation of street lighting on Venture Parkway from the Stillwater Business Park entrance at Old Oregon Trail through the east side of the northerly Stillwater Creek Bridge.
To continue the necessary road extension and utility work, staff is recommending an increase in project budget funds from the General Fund Capital Project Fund in the amount of $1, 500, 000.
This additional allocation is needed for staff and consultant costs related to project development including but not limited to surveys, design, environmental clearance, and right of way acquisitions with appraisals for the remainder of the improvements. The design work will include road construction, wet and dry utility installation, storm drains, street lights and other miscellaneous items to complete improvements to Venture Parkway from Rancho Road through the south end of the park to Fig Tree Lane concluding at the intersection of Fig Tree Lane and Airport Road. The work will include widening projects along Rancho Road and Fig Tree Lane and intersection improvements that may include Rancho Road/Airport Road and also Fig Tree Lane/Airport Road.
With the sale of additional lots, the improvements which were halted need to resume in order to adhere to what was intended with the development of the park This additional allocation will be funded with property sales receipts. Property sales in this fiscal year are in excess of$ 900, 000, and it is anticipated that this fiscal year will see an additional $ 3 million in proceeds from additional land transactions. Additional work on the park will be budgeted for completion in the coming months.

Although some of the aforementioned expenses are over budget or nearly over budget, there are no additional budget requests at this time. Each department has adequate savings in areas such as personnel charges and additional cross charges to other City departments, to offset the excess cost.

CITY OF REDDING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following actions regarding Highway Bridge Program funding:
(1) Accept additional grant funds awarded to the City of Redding for the Eastside Road over Olney Creek Bridge Project (Project); and
(2) Adopt Resolution approving and adopting the 85th Amendment to City Budget Resolution No. 2021-078 appropriating $867,600 for the project.
Fiscal Impact
An additional $867,593 in grant funds has been allocated to the City of Redding (City) for the Eastside Road over Olney Creek Bridge Project. These additional grant funds will allow previously allocated Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) funds, used to fill the funding gap, to be returned to the TIF Program.
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose to not accept the additional grant funding. In this case, the City would lose $867,593 in grant funding for the project and additional TIF or Streets Division funds would need to be used to complete the project.
Background/Analysis
On July 21, 2015, the Council appropriated Highway Bridge Program (HBP) funds in the amount of $1,853,850 for the project. Subsequently, on May 17, 2022, the Council appropriated additional HBP funds in the amount of $2,056,690 for the project. Along with the action in May 2022, TIF funds were appropriated to temporarily cover the lowest responsive bid amount which was higher than the engineer’s estimated cost. This allowed staff to complete and submit the necessary paperwork to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), the agency that administers the HBP Program, to request additional HBP funds needed to fully fund the project.
Caltrans has processed and approved the City’s request for additional HBP funding in the amount of $867,593 which are being allocated to the project.

Authorize the following action relative to Request for Proposal No. 4691, Engineering Services for Eastside Road Bridge over Olney Creek Replacement Project and Sharon Avenue Bridge over ACID Replacement Project: (1) Award to Dokken Engineering; (2) Authorize the Mayor to execute contracts with Dokken Engineering to provide project management, preliminary and final design, environmental compliance, right-of-way coordination, and technical assistance during bidding and construction services for the Eastside Road Bridge over Olney Creek Replacement Project, for a not-to-exceed fee of $290,850 and Sharon Avenue Bridge over ACID Replacement Project, for a not-to-exceed fee of $207,006; (3) Adopt resolution approving the 2nd Amendment to City Budget Resolution No. 2015-057 appropriating $2,759,856 ($1,853,850 for the Eastside Road Bridge and $906,006 for the Sharon Avenue Bridge) for Fiscal Year 2015-16; and (4) Authorize the City Manager to approve contract amendments not to exceed $35,000 per contract.
Background
On September 7, 2010, the City Council (Council) approved the submittal of several applications for federal funding for the rehabilitation or replacement of local structures – two of these structures were the Eastside Road Bridge over Olney Creek and the Sharon Avenue Bridge over the Anderson-Cottonwood Irrigation District (ACID) canal.
The Eastside Road Bridge was constructed in 1954 and is currently designated as "functionally obsolete," per Caltrans Bridge Inspection Reports. The project will replace the existing 30-footMEETING DATE: July 21, 2015 ITEM NO. 4.11(b)

Re: 4.11(b)--Award RFP No. 4691, Eastside Rd Bridge over Olney Creek & Sharon Ave Page 2 wide, two-lane bridge with a 54-foot-wide bridge that includes two 12-foot lanes with 8-foot shoulders and 7-foot-wide, Type 26 sidewalk barriers on each side.
The Sharon Avenue Bridge was constructed in 1976 and is also currently designated as “functionally obsolete,” per Caltrans Bridge Inspection Reports. The project will replace the existing 21.5-foot-wide, one-lane bridge with a 36-foot-wide bridge that has shoulders and sidewalk meeting American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) requirements.
The total combined project costs for the replacement of the Eastside Road and Sharon Avenue bridges are expected to be in the $2.5 million to $3 million dollar range including design, environmental clearance and permitting, right-of-way, construction including contingencies, and construction management.
CONSULTANT SELECTION PROCESS
In December 2014, a formal Request for Proposals (No. 4691), outlining the specific scope of work for each bridge, was advertised. Proposals were required to include a separate scope and proposed fee for each bridge so that two separate contracts could be prepared. Proposals and fee schedules were received on January 5, 2015, from three firms. A review and selection panel was formed with members from the Public Works Department. Based upon proposal review and experience, the panel ranked the firms as follows:
FIRM RANK
Dokken Engineering (Folsom, CA) 1
Morrison Structures, Inc. (Redding, CA) 2
TRC (Rancho Cordova, CA) 2
Proposals were evaluated based on their understanding of the scope of work, ability to meet the proposed schedule and maintain the project budget, experience and qualifications of the proposed staff, ability to work with City staff, project approach, familiarity with state and federal procedures, and geographic location of the team. Applying the criteria to the proposals, the selection panel determined that Dokken Engineering (Dokken) was more suited and qualified to provide the required services for this project.
Dokken’s proposed fees were opened, evaluated, and negotiated to reasonable costs based on the scope of services as well as previous similar projects and proposed fees. Federal funding requirements dictate that the consultant selection process be qualification-based, not by cost, as long as the fee is reasonable, therefore staff did not open the fees for the other consultants.
The consultant fee is estimated and the contracts will be for actual work performed. However, because these are complex projects, staff recommends the approval of an additional $35,000 in contingency reserve for each contract. If this reserve needs to be utilized, a contract amendment would be negotiated with the consultant and the contract would be modified with approval of the City Manager.
Packet Pg. 288 Attachment: Previous Staff Report 072115 (4.11(e)--Accept Grant Funds and Adopt Budget Resolution) Report to Redding City Council July 14, 2015
Re: 4.11(b)--Award RFP No. 4691, Eastside Rd Bridge over Olney Creek & Sharon Ave Page 3 Issue
Should Council award Request for Proposal No. 4691 to Dokken Engineering and direct staff to execute contracts for engineering and design services for the Projects for a not-to-exceed fee of $290,850 and $207,006, and authorize the City Manager to approve contract amendments not to exceed $35,000, and adopt the attached budget resolutions appropriating $1,853,850 and $906,006?
Alternatives; Implication of Alternatives
The Council has the option of selecting one of the following alternatives:
1. Award the Request for Proposals No. 4691 to Dokken Engineering, and authorize staff to negotiate, and the Mayor to execute, two consultant services contracts with Dokken for design services for the Eastside Road Bridge over Olney Creek Replacement Project for a not-to-exceed fee of $290,850 and the Sharon Avenue Bridge over ACID Replacement Project for a not-to-exceed fee of $207,006, and adopt the budget resolutions. Further, authorize a contingency of $35,000 for each contract, and authorize the City Manager to execute contract amendments up to the contingency amount. This will allow staff the flexibility to refine the scope of services as needed to complete each project that is in the best interests of the City. (Staff Recommendation)
2. Do not award the Request for Proposals No. 4691 at this time and direct staff not to pursue these projects. This alternative will delay or eliminate the construction of the improvements. Since these bridges are designated as “functionally obsolete,” delaying or eliminating construction of these projects will continue providing unsafe conditions for motorists and pedestrians.
3. Provide other direction to staff.
Fiscal Impact
Funding for these projects will come from the Federal Highway Bridge Program (HBP) with an
88.53 percent share. The Sharon Avenue Bridge will be matched with 11.47 percent Toll Credits via the State and will be 100 percent federally funded. The Eastside Road Bridge will be matched with 11.47 percent City Traffic Impact Fees. Budget resolutions appropriating $906,006 and $1,853,850 respectively, are attached. The combined total project cost (for both projects) is estimated in the $2.5 million to $3 million range.
Conclusion
These bridges have both been designated as “functionally obsolete” per Caltrans Bridge Inspection Reports. Dokken has the necessary resources and expertise to provide the required services to prepare these projects for construction. Therefore, staff recommends that the Council select Alternative 1 as listed above.

Since the bids were higher than the engineer’s estimated cost, staff will be working with California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to obtain additional HBP funding for the project. Staff anticipates the HBP to fully fund its share of the project total costs based upon previous experience with other bridge HBP funded projects. Until those additional funds become available, the TIF will cover the costs above the estimate. Any additional HBP funds will be presented and budgeted in a separate resolution. The HBP funds being appropriated at this time are currently authorized funds that were not previously budgeted.

Re: 4.11(a)--Award BS No. 5180, Eastside Road over Olney Creek Bridge Page 2 Cost Summary
Item Estimated
Project Development Costs $ 645,000
Construction Contract + Contingency $ 4,073,683.84
Contract Administration, Inspection, Testing $ 567,000
Additional City Manager Authority $ 15,000
Total Project Costs $ 5,300,683.84
Project Budget $ 5,300,700
Project cost components are estimated, and some shifting of the funds may be necessary to balance the project within the approved budget.
Alternative Action
Without this project, the bridge will not be replaced, and unsafe conditions for pedestrians and motorists will remain. In addition, the City would be at risk of losing federal funds and may have to reimburse project development federal funds spent to date. The City Council has the following alternative actions:
• Choose not to award the bid for the Eastside Road over Olney Creek Bridge Project to the second low bidder Abacus Construction Inc (Abacus), determine that SEI, the low bidder, did make adequate Good Faith Efforts (GFE), and award the project to SEI. This may jeopardize current or future federal funding if the City is audited and the audit determines that SEI did not perform an adequate GFE.
• Choose not to award the bid for the Eastside Road over Olney Creek Bridge Project and re-advertise the project. This action would delay the project; thereby missing the 2022 construction season and potentially requiring staff to update current environmental permits which would further delay the project. Re-advertising the project would, most likely, increase the number of bids received, and there are no guarantees the low bidder will meet the project’s Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal or that it would perform an adequate Good Faith Effort (GFE).
• Provide staff with other direction.
Background/Analysis
Attached is a tabulation of bids opened on January 25, 2022. The low bid in the amount of $3,539,305 was received from SEI of Redding, California. Because the HBP grant funds are from a federal source, the City was required to establish a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goal specifically for the project, and a goal of 19 percent was established for this project. SEI did not achieve the goal, therefore, per federal regulations, the contractor must perform a Good Faith Effort (GFE) to be awarded the project. Staff’s evaluation of a bidder’s GFE is based on Section 9 of the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM) as well as Appendix A of Title 49 CFR Part 26 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Staff performed the following process in GFE evaluation for SEI. • Staff received SEI GFE documentation per the specified five days after bid opening. • Staff received a bid protest letter (January 31, 2022) from the 2 nd low bidder, Abacus,
which did not provide any reasonable argument as to why the City should reject SEI’s bid. It simply stated that because SEI did not meet the goal regardless of an adequate Packet Pg. 292 Attachment: Previous Staff Report 051722 (4.11(e)--Accept Grant Funds and Adopt Budget Resolution) Report to Redding City Council May 10, 2022
Re: 4.11(a)--Award BS No. 5180, Eastside Road over Olney Creek Bridge Page 3 GFE, SEI’s bid should be rejected and the project should be awarded to Abacus, which is not allowed per the CFR.
• Staff completed its GFE evaluation and determined that SEI did demonstrate an adequate GFE.
• Per LAPM Section 9.8 (Local Public Agency Responsibilities), because the project contract exceeds $2 million and the low bidder did not meet the DBE goal, the City must submit the low bidder’s GFE documentation to the Caltrans Division of Local Assistance (DLA). In addition, the City may not award the contract without receiving a memorandum from the DLA indicating that Caltrans has determined that the low bidder made a GFE. The City submitted SEI’s GFE to Caltrans District 2 DLA for review. • Staff received, via email from Caltrans District 2 DLA, a memorandum (March 2, 2022) stating that Caltrans did not concur with the City’s determination that SEI had demonstrated an adequate GFE and concluded that SEI did not demonstrate it performed a GFE. Caltrans DLA relies on Caltrans Office of Civil Rights (OCR) to perform the GFE evaluations.
• Staff received the Abacus DBE complaint on March 9, 2022. • Per LAPM Section 9.8, because Caltrans did not concur with the City, the City must take Caltrans feedback and re-evaluate the GFE. The City did re-evaluate SEI’s GFE and determined that SEI did not demonstrate an adequate GFE for the reasons noted in the reevaluation and a letter was sent to SEI dated March 21, 2022.
Therefore, in accordance with 49 CFR 26.53, the City must allow the bidder/offeror an opportunity for administrative reconsideration as outlined below:
1. As part of this reconsideration, the bidder/offeror must have the opportunity to provide written documentation or argument concerning the issue of whether it met the goal or made an adequate GFE to do so.
2. City decision on reconsideration must be made by an official who did not take part in the original determination that the bidder/offeror failed to meet the goal or make adequate GFE to do so.
3. The bidder/offeror must have the opportunity to meet in person with the City reconsideration official to discuss the issues of whether it met the goal or made an adequate GFE to do so.
4. City must send the bidder/offeror a written decision on reconsideration, explaining the basis for finding that the bidder did or did not meet the goal or make an adequate GFE to do so.
5. The result of the reconsideration process is not administratively appealable to the Department of Transportation.
The City’s March 21, 2022, letter to SEI was notification of the City’s determination and its right to reconsideration. SEI responded by email on March 21, 2022, requesting reconsideration and on March 28, 2022, provided the City with a written argument that it made an adequate GFE to meet the goal. The City acknowledged SEI’s request for reconsideration and began the reconsideration process as provided in the City’s letter to SEI, which was dated April 1, 2022.
The reconsideration hearing was held on April 14, 2022, and in attendance were SEI, two Reconsideration Officials (Officials), and staff. All parties agreed on the meeting format and presented positions regarding the SEI GFE to the Officials. After the reconsideration meeting, the Officials deliberated independently to make a final determination. The Officials’ final determination concluded that SEI did not perform an adequate GFE to meet the DBE participation goal for the reasons identified in the final GFE determination letter to SEI dated Packet Pg. 293 Attachment: Previous Staff Report 051722 (4.11(e)--Accept Grant Funds and Adopt Budget Resolution) Report to Redding City Council May 10, 2022
Re: 4.11(a)--Award BS No. 5180, Eastside Road over Olney Creek Bridge Page 4 April 22, 2022. All correspondence is attached for reference. Therefore, SEI’s bid is deemed nonresponsive to the bid solicitation. It should be noted that a nonresponsive bid is not unusual in the industry, and in no way provides a reflection of the contractor’s ability to perform the work, nor does it reflect the quality of work or affect the ability to bid on future public works projects.
The City proceeded to evaluate the second low bidder, Abacus, of Redding, California in the amount of $3,703,683.84. The City reviewed Abacus’s proposal and DBE commitment form.
Abacus achieved a 23.18 percent participation goal, thereby exceeding the project goal of 19 percent. Since Abacus met the project DBE goal, the CFR does not require the bidder to submit a GFE, although one was provided by Abacus. Staff recommends awarding the project to the second low bidder, Abacus Construction, Inc. The engineer’s estimate was $2,929,351.17. Total project development costs for this project are estimated to be $645,000. Project development costs include engineering, surveying, right-of-way, environmental, and consultant services.
This project includes the replacement of the Eastside Road bridge over Olney Creek and the rehabilitation of the approach roadway. The work will include removal of the existing bridge in stages, construction of a new bridge over two summer seasons, construction of retaining walls, sidewalk, curb and gutter, utility relocation, roadway construction, and other miscellaneous items of work.
On February 6, 2018, the Council adopted the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) and the Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) and approved the project, thereby satisfying the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15074 (CEQA).

CITY OF REDDING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following relative to the funding, design, permitting, and construction of the Boulder Creek Flood Protection and Natural Treatment Project:
(1) Approve the City of Redding as applicant for a Clean California Local Grant, Cycle 2, administered by the California Department of Transportation, requesting up to $2 million with no local match;
(2) Approve the City of Redding as applicant for a Wildlife Conservation Board (WCB) Continuous Grant, administered by the California WCB requesting up to $2 million with no local match; and
(3) Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute all documents necessary to apply for the grant, and execute any agreements necessary to implement the project should the grant(s) be awarded.
Fiscal Impact
The grant applications will request up to $2 million from each grant agency to provide supplemental funding for the design and construction of the Boulder Creek Flood Protection and Natural Treatment Project (Boulder Creek Project). Although no local matching funds are required by the grant agency, funding contributions are highly encouraged and will increase the application’s competitiveness. Staff anticipates contributing in-kind services performed by the City of Redding’s (City) Storm Water Management Program (SWMP). The SWMP staff positions are funded through the NPDES Fixed Fee Charge and the General Fund would not be impacted. There would be no fiscal impact as a result of approving and authorizing as recommended.
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to apply for funds under this grant program and provide staff with alternative direction.

Re: 4.11(f)--Approve City of Redding as Applicant for Clean California and Wildlife Cons.
Board Grants Page 2
Background/Analysis
On April 7, 2020, the Council adopted Resolution No. 2020-40 authorizing the Public Works Department to apply for Proposition 68 Urban Flood Protection funds for the Boulder Creek Project. Staff was successful in securing grant funding in the amount of $2,295,100. On May 17, 2022, the Council approved the grant funding and adopted Budget Resolution No. 2021-07 to appropriate the funds.
On November 15, 2022, the Council awarded Request for Proposal Schedule No. 5310 and authorized the execution of a Consulting and Professional Services Contract, with Geosyntec Consultants, Inc. (C-9583), for Engineering and Environmental Services for the Boulder Creek Project. The Council also adopted a resolution adopting and approving the 71st Amendment to City Budget Resolution No. 2021-078 appropriating $152,020 of Storm Drain Impact Fees.
In 2020, when staff applied for the Proposition 68 Urban Flood Protection funds, the $2,295,100 combined with in-kind services would have been sufficient to deliver the Boulder Creek Project.
Since that time, inflation has increased significantly, creating a funding shortfall of approximately $2,000,000. This amount includes additional recreational amenities, such as a drinking fountain, benches, tree planting, and small play structures that would be included in the proposed grant applications.
The Clean California Local Grant focuses on multi-benefit projects that reduce the amount of debris in public spaces, the beautification of public spaces, urban heat island reduction, and improving public spaces for walking and recreation. California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) administers the grant and has allocated $100 million for these projects. Grant applications are due April 28, 2023.
The California Wildlife Conservation Board (WCB) Continuous Grant focuses on projects that protect or enhance biodiversity, address climate change resiliency and connectivity, support priority habitats, enhance landscapes, support water related projects, enhance public access, and provide a benefit to a disadvantaged community. The WCB administers the grant which does not have a minimum or maximum grant amount. The grant application would be submitted in May 2023.
Given the funding needed to complete the project, the competitive nature of these grants, and the potential for receipt of a lower award amount, the Public Works Department seeks to submit grant applications up to $2,000,000 each to both of these programs. Should both grants be awarded, staff would work with one of the grant agencies for a reduced grant amount that would be implementable while still meeting the agencies’ grant goals and objectives. Taking the recommended action will allow the City to compete for funds for this multi-benefit project.
Environmental Review
This action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act, and no further action is required. The consultant will provide the design and technical study information necessary to ensure environmental clearance as the project progresses.

CITY OF REDDING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following action relative to the funding, design, permitting, and construction of the Boulder Creek Flood Protection and Natural Treatment Project:
1) Adopt Resolution approving the City of Redding ( City) as an applicant for the Urban Flood Protection Grant Program (Proposition 68), administered by the California Natural Resources Agency; and
2) Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute all documents necessary to apply for the grant, and execute any agreements necessary to implement the project should the grant be awarded.
Fiscal Impact
The grant application will request up to $2 million to create a flood management and stormwater treatment system at the abandoned Buckeye Wastewater Treatment Plant. Although no local matching funds are required by the grant agency, funding contributions are highly encouraged and will increase the application’ s competiveness. Staff anticipates contributing in-kind services performed by the City’s Storm Water Management Program (SWMP). The SWMP positions are funded through the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ( NPDES) Fixed Fee Charge and the General Fund would not be impacted. There would be no short-term fiscal impact as a result of approving and authorizing as recommended.
Long- term maintenance costs for this project are minimal. The trails, landscape, and signs would be maintained by Park Maintenance Division staff, supplemented with volunteers when possible.
The projected annual cost for waste management, weed abatement, occasional pruning and hazardous tree removal is estimated at $1,800 per year and would be absorbed within the current Park Maintenance Division budget. Infrastructure maintenance and repair would be funded by the NPDES Fixed Fee Charge.

Background/ Analysis
The Urban Flood Management Program, funded by voter approved Proposition 68, focuses on multi-benefit projects that address flooding in urbanized areas. Projects must include storm water capture and reuse, planning and implementation of low-impact development, restoration of urban streams and watersheds, and increasing permeable surfaces to reduce flooding. The California Natural Resources Agency administers the grant and has allocated $ 87.5 million for these projects.
The Public Works Department (Department) seeks to submit an application to this program for the design, permitting, engineering, and construction of a flood management and storm water treatment system located on City-owned open space. In recent years, this project has been the subject of planning efforts, and extensive community review. The Department’ s Storm Water Resource Plan identified the Boulder Creek Flood Protection and Natural Treatment Project Project) as the highest priority multi- benefit treatment project for the City. The project was developed in collaboration with a Technical Advisory Group (including State regulators) and a Stakeholder Group comprised of other government agencies, non-governmental organizations, environmental groups, community members, and other interested parties.
The proposed project would utilize existing infrastructure to reduce flooding at Boulder Creek School, improve water quality and environmental habitat, and provide recreational and educational opportunities to a severely disadvantaged community. An inlet spillway along Boulder Creek bank will divert stormflows from the 1,800- acre drainage area, consisting of 80 percent urban land uses, into two sedimentation basins (abandoned wastewater treatment ponds).
The sedimentation basins will provide capture and detention of wet weather flows, as well as provide an opportunity for settling of sediment and particulate-bound pollutants, and trash capture before diversion into a third bio-retention pond and release back into Boulder Creek.
Boulder Creek School, located less than a mile downstream of the project area, experiences at least one flood event each year. The school field, track, playground, and eastern parking lot become inundated with floodwater, limiting outdoor activity areas for the children and causing thousands of dollars in damage. The project is anticipated to reduce the frequency and intensity of flood events, as initial modeling shows that the one- year peak flow rate can be reduced to one quarter of the current rate.
A series of trails and signs will be constructed around the three basins and they will be connected to the City’ s Northeast Crossing Trail project, which is a grant funded project being implemented by the Community Services Department. The Project also includes native tree planting, invasive species removal, and floodplain restoration. An existing building from the wastewater treatment plant and a concrete-lined pond, both located within the 100-year flood plain, will be demolished, and the flood plain area will be restored. Construction is anticipated to occur by 2024.

Re: 4.11( g)--Resolution Approving City as Applicant for Urban Flood Protection Grant for Boulder Creek Page 3
The grant application will request up to $ 2 million for the design and construction of the proposed project and must be submitted by April 8, 2020. The effort to complete the application process includes documenting the flooding issues, sourcing support letters, documenting community outreach activities, and quantifying the flood management and water quality benefits.
Taking the recommended action will allow the City to compete for funds for this multi- benefit project.
The resolution has been approved as to form by the City Attorney.

Recommendation
Authorize the following actions relative to Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 5310, to provide environmental and engineering services for the Boulder Creek Flood Protection and Natural Treatment Project (Project):
(1) Award the Consultant and Professional Services Contract (Contract) to Geosyntec Consultants, Inc. (Geosyntec), in an amount not to exceed $497,013; (2) Authorize the Mayor to execute the Contract with Geosyntec Consultants, Inc.; (3) Authorize the City Manager to approve Contract amendments not to exceed $50,000; and (4) Adopt Resolution adopting and approving the 71st Amendment to City Budget Resolution No. 2021-078 appropriating $152,020 of Storm Drain Impact Fees.
Fiscal Impact
The required professional services to prepare the project for construction is estimated to cost approximately $497,013. Of this amount, $345,000 will be funded by California Natural Resource Agency’s Urban Flood Protection Grant (adopted in the 41st Amendment to City Budget Resolution No. 2021-078). The original grant application submitted in June 2020 estimated this portion of the project to be $345,000. However, rising inflation costs and additional required scope items has increased costs overall. Consequently, the remaining $152,013 will be funded by Storm Drain Impact Fees with approval of the attached resolution.
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to award the contract for this project. This alternative would require the City of Redding (City) to decline $2,295,100 in Proposition 68 grant funds to the California Natural Resources Agency, and the Boulder Creek Project would not be completed.

Background/Analysis
On April 7, 2020, the Council adopted Resolution No. 2020-40 authorizing the Public Works Department to apply for Proposition 68 Urban Flood Protection funds for the Boulder Creek Project. Staff was successful in securing grant funding in the amount of $2,295,100. On May 17, 2022, the Council approved the grant funding and adopted Budget Resolution No. 2021-07 to appropriate the funds.
The Boulder Creek Project would utilize existing abandoned wastewater treatment ponds to reduce flooding at Boulder Creek Elementary School, improve water quality and environmental habitat, and provide recreational and educational opportunities in a disadvantaged community.
An inlet spillway will be constructed along the bank of Boulder Creek to divert stormflows from the 1,800-acre drainage area, consisting of 80 percent urban land uses, into two sedimentation basins. The sedimentation basins will capture and detain wet weather flows and provide an opportunity for settling of sediment and particulate-bound pollutants, as well as provide trash capture. The flow will then be diverted into a third bio-retention pond and released back into Boulder Creek. A series of pedestrian trails and signs will be constructed around the three basins.
The trails will be connected to the City’s Northeast Crossing Trail project. The Boulder Creek Project was identified as the City’s highest priority storm water treatment project in the City of Redding Storm Water Resource Plan.
Consultant Selection Process
A RFP was issued, and one proposal was received and opened on August 3, 2022. Three Public Works Department staff members formed a review and selection panel. The panel’s evaluation was based on the RFP selection criteria and the consultants’ abilities and qualifications to perform all phases of the engineering and environmental services required. The panel members evaluated and scored the proposal based on the consultant’s understanding of the project scope, project’s team experience with similar types of projects and City projects, qualifications of the project team, ability to stay on budget and meet project schedule, familiarity with local setting and context, and geographic location of the project team. The selection panel determined that Geosyntec is a qualified firm that is able to provide the required services for this project.
Following the evaluation, Geosyntec’s fee proposal was opened, evaluated, and subsequently negotiated based on the services required. Geosyntec’s proposed fee of $497,013 is reasonable for the scope of services and staff believes that Geosyntec is a highly qualified team that will succeed in providing the required services.
This agreement has been approved to form by the City Attorney.
Environmental Review
This action is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and no further action is required. The consultant will provide design and technical study information necessary to ensure environmental clearance as the project progresses.

Works Director
***APPROVED BY***

SUBJECT: 4.1 l(g)--Adopt Resolution Approving City of Redding as Applicant for Urban Flood Protection Grant for Boulder Creek
Recommendation
Authorize the following action relative to the funding, design, permitting, and construction of the Boulder Creek Flood Protection and Natural Treatment Project:
(1) Adopt Resolution approving the City of Redding (City) as an applicant for the Urban Flood Protection Grant Program (Proposition 68), administered by the California Natural Resources Agency; and
(2) Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute all documents necessary to apply for the grant, and execute any agreements necessary to implement the project should the grant be awarded.
Fiscal Impact
The grant application will request up to $2 million to create a flood management and stormwater treatment system at the abandoned Buckeye Wastewater Treatment Plant. Although no local matching funds are required by the grant agency, funding contributions are highly encouraged and will increase the application's competiveness. Staff anticipates contributing in-kind services performed by the City's Storm Water Management Program (SWMP). The SWMP positions are funded through the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Fixed Fee Charge and the General Fund would not be impacted. There would be no short-term fiscal impact as a result of approving and authorizing as recommended.
Long-term maintenance costs for this project are minimal. The trails, landscape, and signs would be maintained by Park Maintenance Division staff, supplemented with volunteers when possible.
The projected annual cost for waste management, weed abatement, occasional pruning and hazardous tree removal is estimated at $1,800 per year and would be absorbed within the current Park Maintenance Division budget. Infrastructure maintenance and repair would be funded by the NPDES Fixed Fee Charge.

Alternative Action
The City Council could choose to direct staff not to apply for funds under this grant program, or provide staff with alternative direction.
Backgrou11d/Analysis
The Urban Flood Management Program, funded by voter approved Proposition 68, focuses on multi-benefit projects that address flooding in urbanized areas. Projects must include storm water capture and reuse, planning and implementation of low-impact development, restoration of urban streams and watersheds, and increasing permeable surfaces to reduce flooding. The California Natural Resources Agency administers the grant and has allocated $87.5 million for these projects.
The Public Works Department (Department) seeks to submit an application to this program for the design, permitting, engineering, and construction of a flood management and storm water treatment system located on City-owned open space. In recent years, this project has been the subject of planning efforts, and extensive community review. The Department's Storm Water Resource Plan identified the Boulder Creek Flood Protection and Natural Treatment Project (Project) as the highest priority multi-benefit treatment project for the City. The project was developed in collaboration with a Technical Advisory Group (including State regulators) and a Stakeholder Group comprised of other government agencies, non-governmental organizations, environmental groups, community members, and other interested parties.
The proposed project would utilize existing infrastructure to reduce flooding at Boulder Creek School, improve water quality and environmental habitat, and provide recreational and educational opportunities to a severely disadvantaged community. An inlet spillway along Boulder Creek bank will divert stormflows from the 1,800-acre drainage area, consisting of 80 percent urban land uses, into two sedimentation basins (abandoned wastewater treatment ponds).
The sedimentation basins will provide capture and detention of wet weather flows, as well as provide an opportunity for settling of sediment and particulate-bound pollutants, and trash capture before diversion into a third bio-retention pond and release back into Boulder Creek.
Boulder Creek School, located less than a mile downstream of the project area, experiences at least one flood event each year. The school field, track, playground, and eastern parking lot become inundated with floodwater, limiting outdoor activity areas for the children and causing thousands of dollars in damage. The project is anticipated to reduce the frequency and intensity of flood events, as initial modeling shows that the one-year peak flow rate can be reduced to one quarter of the current rate.
A series of trails and signs will be constructed around the three basins and they will be connected to the City's Northeast Crossing Trail project, which is a grant funded project being implemented by the Community Services Department. The Project also includes native tree planting, invasive species removal, and floodplain restoration. An existing building from the wastewater treatment plant and a concrete-lined pond, both located within the 100-year flood plain, will be demolished, and the flood plain area will be restored. Construction is anticipated to occur by 2024.

The grant application will request up to $2 million for the design and construction of the proposed project and must be submitted by April 8, 2020. The effort to complete the application process includes documenting the flooding issues, sourcing support letters, documenting community outreach activities, and quantifying the flood management and water quality benefits.
Taking the recommended action will allow the City to compete for funds for this multi-benefit project.
The resolution has been approved as to form by the City Attorney.

Report to Redding City Council April 12, 2023
Re: 4.11(g)--Authorize Sole Source Purchase of Atlas Copco Blowers for SWWTP Page 2 Background/Analysis
As part of the original construction of the Stillwater Wastewater Treatment Plant (SWWTP) in 1990, five (5) Hoffman air blowers (blowers) were installed. The blowers are some of the most critical pieces of equipment for wastewater treatment and must be operational in order to ensure the biological process of the plant continue to break down waste. Each of the five blowers have been rebuilt in subsequent years and are no longer being manufactured nor are spare parts readily available. Staff recommends replacing the failing blowers at SWWTP with the same blowers approved for purchase for the Clear Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant (CCWWTP). This will allow for ease of service for maintenance staff and reduced costs of spare parts on the shelf by standardizing this equipment.
On July 21, 2020, the Council approved an Evaluation and Purchase agreement with Atlas Copco to provide the City with a new blower on a “Trial and Buy” basis. This blower has proven to be much more reliable and has a wider range of airflow that better suits the needs of the CCWWTP.
The City completed the purchase of this blower in 2021.
February 15, 2022, the Council approved the systematic replacement of failing blowers at the CCWWTP with new Atlas Copco blowers, as time and budget allows. On February 7, 2023, the Council approved the purchase of a third Atlas Copco blower for CCWWTP to replace one more of the existing failing blowers. Staff recommends the same approach to systematically replace one blower per year at the SWWTP until all existing blowers are replaced.
Per Redding Municipal Code Section 4.20.080 competitive bidding may be dispensed with under a few conditions including when the Council determines that certain standards have been previously adopted, as is the case with the Atlas Copco blowers which were previously approved by the Council for CCWWTP.
Environmental Review
This action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act, and no further action is required.
Council Priority/City Manager Goals

Reliability
Atlas Copco magnetic bearing technology
The Atlas Copco magnetic bearing technology is a strong active technology. At any moment, the full control of the shaft is ensured thanks to the magnetic force adjusting the shaft's position, no matter the conditions.
This technology:
• Ensures a full control over the rotating assembly and a complete adjustment of the shaft’s position in order to face any operating conditions
• Has unlimited starts and stops and no contact between stator and rotor at any given moment
• Does not require the use of process air to operate or to cool down components
• Combines air and water cooling to ensure extended
components’ lifetime within a compact and powerful
design
• Does not require the use of a UPS (power battery
bank) to provide power to the magnetic bearing
controller
Built-in cooling paths
The Atlas Copco ZB 5-6 VSD+ turbo blower has an advanced cooling design. Several dedicated paths are present to provide the optimum cooling requirement:
• The magnetic bearing cooling path is using fresh air
from outside of the blower which is cleaned and ducted
directly onto the bearings
• The internal cooling path also uses fresh cleaned air from outside of the machine to circulate around the
mechanical components such as the permanent
magnet motor
• The Electrical cubicle cooling path is taking fresh air from the bottom of the cubicle to the top, cooling down every cubicle component
• The water cooling path runs through the permanent
magnet motor and high frequency drive, maintaining
these key components at their optimum operating
temperature
Regulating blow-off valve
With its new regulating algorithm, the Atlas Copco ZB 5-6 VSD+ features a regulating blow-off valve. This component brings huge benefits to the machine:
• It allows a quick response to dynamically adjust its
position during the blower’s operation
• It provides an extended turndown in the area where
traditional turbo blowers would surge or shutdown
• It bridges flow gaps between blowers running in
parallel, allowing the process to be accurately
provided with the exact amount of flow needed

Efficiency
Atlas Copco centrifugal blower
Atlas Copco has a long history with centrifugal equipment. For more than a decade, the ZB high-speed turbo blower range proved its superior efficiency. With this new generation, the ZB 5-6 VSD+ continues the success story, putting efficiency in the front line of this product’s benefits. The product includes:
• Magnetic bearing technology for high efficiency
operation without the consumption of process air
• High-efficient permanent magnet motor for reduced
losses along the speed range and an optimum
operation in the complete blower’s operating map
• State-of-the-art impeller designed to operate at
dedicated pressure levels
• Premium labyrinth seal reducing leakages and
energy losses over the compression stage
Separated process air path
Too often, process air is mixed with cooling air within centrifugal turbo blowers, increasing the power consumption of the machine. The Atlas Copco ZB 5-6 VSD+ is changing this habit and is built with a dedicated air path going to the process, ensuring minimal pressure drops as well as minimal temperature increase. This feature:
• Guarantees energy savings by separating cooling
air paths to the process air path and increased flow
delivered from the machine
• Ensures the lowest discharge air temperature to the
process
• Allows simple ducting for air intake from a remote
location
Plug-and-play package
When designing blowers, Atlas Copco makes a priority to build simple, easy to install and serviceable machines. The Atlas Copco ZB 5-6 VSD+ is a perfect example of this mindset. The machine:
• Includes all necessary components straight from
the factory
• Requires a single electrical connection to feed all
the machine’s electrical components
• Has a reduced footprint and installation space
required around the machine
• Is easily transportable with forklift slots embedded
within the base frame

Working principle
Traditionally, process air is used to cool down components in centrifugal turbo blowers. This, however, has a serious impact on the performance. There is no better way to cool down a component than having a dedicated stream of fresh air. The Atlas Copco ZB blower separates the cooling paths from the process path as it is presented below.
The process air path
Air is taken from the atmosphere (A), passes through a set of baffles (B) reducing its noise, it is filtered by high-efficiency filters (C) before entering the element via a direct connection. The impeller, which is spinning at high speed (D) provides energy to the air which then will turn into pressure. Air is then delivered to a discharge cone and passes by a high-efficiency check valve (F) before entering the process. The modulating blow-off valve (G) and noise cancelling silencer (H) are present to derivate air from the main line for either protection or regulation purposes.

The magnetic bearing cooling air system
Air is taken from the atmosphere (A), passes through a set of baffles reducing its noise (B), is filtered through a high-efficiency filter (C) before blown into the bearings via two air fans (I). After cooling down the magnetic bearings, the warm air is being rejected to the centralized location at the top of the machine, which can be ducted or piped outside of the blower room if needed.
The closed-loop water system
Atlas Copco ZB turbo blowers use an internal water and glycol circuit to cool down the permanent magnet motor and high frequency drive assuring to use them at their best efficiency regardless of the operating or ambient conditions. The closed loop is set-up as followed: a pump (J) circulates the mix through the line, starting with the water cooled high frequency drive (K) and then followed by the water cooled permanent magnet motor (E). Depending on the required cooling capacity, a thermostatic valve (L) adjusts the flow going to the heat exchanger (M) or back to the pump (J).
The heat exchanger includes in the air-cooled machine variants a variable speed air fan to regulate the required cooling power in the most precise way. If there is no need to cool down the liquid after the motor, none of it is passing by the heatsink, totally removing the power consumption of the cooling fan. Heated air from the heat exchanger is then driven towards the centralized cooling air grid before being rejected into the atmosphere (ducted, piped or none of these).

CITY OF REDDING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the purchase of Atlas Copco blower in the amount of $189,526.98 for the City of Redding Clear Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant; and approve additional funding in an amount not to exceed $30,000 for taxes and contingency.
Fiscal Impact
The Wastewater Utility Division has sufficient funds available in the approved Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget for this purchase.
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose not to approve the purchase or the additional funds and, instead, provide alternative direction to staff. This would result in the need to identify a different brand, make, or model blower which would be time consuming and could result in no match being found increasing the potential for regulatory action.
Background/Analysis
On July 21, 2020, the Council approved the purchase of a new Atlas Copco Blower for the Clear Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant (CCWWTP) to replace chronically failing HSI blowers. The blower was purchased with the intent to evaluate the product and, if reliable, move forward with this unit make and model to replace the remaining blowers.
The Atlas Copco blower was installed and has performed well. As a result, staff recommended, and the Council approved at its meeting on February 15, 2022, both the purchase of a second Atlas Copco blower for the CCWWTP and the systematic replacement of remaining blowers with similar units at the CCWWTP as time and budget allow. The second blower has been received and is currently being installed. Staff recommends purchasing the third blower this budget year.

A. Purchase of supplies, services, or equipment shall be by bid procedures pursuant to Sections 4.20.120 and 4.20.130, except that bidding may be dispensed with only in the following circumstances:
4. When a sole-source procurement is based on standards previously adopted by the City Council;
Blowers are an integral part of the biological wastewater treatment process. Without a constant supply of air, the biological organisms cannot survive and the treatment process would cease to function. New and reliable blowers will provide the air which is needed to allow the CCWWTP to operate properly and continue to meet all regulatory requirements.

This action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act, and no further action is required.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize purchase of Atlas Copco blower in the amount of $190,948.53 for the City of Redding Clear Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant; and approve additional funding in an amount not to exceed $30,000 for shipping and handling, taxes, and start-up and commissioning services.
Fiscal Impact
The Wastewater Utility Division has sufficient funds available in the approved Fiscal Year 2021- 22 budget for this purchase.
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose not to approve the purchase and additional funds and provide alternative direction to staff.
Background/Analysis
As part of the Clear Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant (CCWWTP) expansion project in 2012, five (5) new Houston Service Industries (HSI) air blowers (blowers) were installed as part of the updated wastewater treatment process. The functionality and operation of these blowers has been unreliable from the time they were installed. Despite the manufacturer covering the cost of years of repairs, services, and replacements the problems have not been remedied and the blowers continue to experience issues. Atlas Copco has subsequently purchased HSI and has been working with the City of Redding (City) to correct the problems.

Re: 4.11(f)--Authorize Purchase of Blower for Clear Creek Wastewater Plant Page 2 On July 21, 2020, the Council approved an Evaluation and Purchase agreement with Atlas Copco to provide the City with a new blower on a “Trial and Buy” basis. This blower has proven to be much more reliable and has a wider range of airflow that better suits the needs of the CCWWTP.
The City completed the purchase of this blower in 2021. Subsequently, the other HSI blowers are failing, and currently, there are only two of the five blowers operating as designed, including the newest installed blower. Atlas Copco has provided a quote to purchase another blower to replace one of the inoperable blowers. As time and budget allows, the inoperable HSI blowers will be systematically replaced with new Atlas Copco blowers in future budget cycles. The air blowers are some of the most critical pieces of equipment for CCWWTP and must be operational in order to operate the biological process of the plant.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Approve the Evaluation and Purchase Agreement with Atlas Copco Compressors LLC, in the amount of $130,000 for an air blower at the Clear Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant, and approve additional funding in the amount not to exceed $20,000 for shipping and handling, taxes, installation, and start up and commissioning services.
Fiscal Impact
The Wastewater Utility Division has sufficient funds available in the approved Fiscal Year 2020- 21 budget for this purchase.
Alternative Action
The City Council has the option to not approve the agreement and the allocation of additional funds and provide alternative direction to staff.
Background/Analysis
As part of the Clear Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant (CCWWTP) expansion project in 2012, five (5) new Houston Service Industries (HSI) air blowers (blowers) were installed as components of the updated wastewater treatment process. These blowers have been problematic in their inability to reliably operate and function as designed from the time of installation. Years of repairs, services, and replacements at the cost of the manufacturer have yet to remedy all issues, particularly on one of the five blowers. The original five year warranty period for the blower units formally ended in 2017. Atlas Copco Compressors LLC (Atlas Copco) has subsequently purchased HSI and has been working with the City of Redding (City) to correct the problems. Even though the warranty period has expired on the blowers, Atlas Copco has continued to provide service to the City in a good faith effort to try and remedy the problems.

The proposed Evaluation and Purchase Agreement (Agreement) is a remedy from Atlas Copco to provide the City with a new blower that is believed to better suit the needs of the CCWWTP. The blower will be replacing a non-operational blower so there is no interruption in service or process. The agreement will allow the City to install and operate this new blower on a trial basis for up to 90 days. If the blower meets the operational needs, the City can purchase the blower at cost from Atlas Copco. If the blower does not meet operational needs, the City can return the blower and pursue other options.
The agreement has been approved as to form by the City Attorney.

CITY OF REDDING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following actions relative to the Agreement to Provide Reimbursement for the Oversizing of Wastewater Lift Station for the Rancho Industrial Park (Agreement) with Sherry Shufelberger, as trustee for the Alan and Sherry Shufelberger Revocable Trust, for the design and construction of the oversized sewer lift station and sewer collection system for the Rancho Industrial Park project:
(1) Approve the agreement in the amount not to exceed $368,515; (2) Authorize the City Manager to approve additional increases based on the construction bid amounts or change orders required during the course of construction up to a total of $60,000; and
(3) Find that the action is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, per Section 15061(b)(3) – Common Sense Exemption.
Fiscal Impact
The design and construction of the oversized sewer lift station and associated sewer mains is estimated to total $1,202,005, of which $368,515 is in excess of the original project proposed by the developer. The Wastewater Utility has sufficient funds appropriated in the approved Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget for this project including any City Manager amounts specified in the recommendation.
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to approve the reimbursement agreement with Sherry Shufelberger, for the design and construction of the sewer lift station and associated sewer mains. The Rancho Industrial Park development project would be required to construct the smaller lift station and sewer main system to serve the development only. This would prohibit the surrounding vacant properties to develop in the future without substantial costs and installation of multiple private sewer facilities.

Report to Redding City Council April 12, 2023
Re: 4.11(h)--Approve Reimbursement Agreement for the Rancho Industrial Park Sewer LIft Station Page 2
Background/Analysis
As part of the Rancho Industrial Park, the developer, Alan and Sherry Shufelberger Revocable Trust, was required to install a sewer lift station and sewer collection system to serve the 19.5- acre development. This system would be private, operated, and maintained by a sewer maintenance district. By oversizing the lift station as proposed, the surrounding 112.5 acres would also be able to be served by the lift station, therefore, providing orderly development with public sewer available. In addition, this oversized public lift station would benefit the City of Redding Water Utility by providing the required sewer service to the upcoming Well 12 rehabilitation/wellhead treatment system project.
The proposed agreement was developed in accordance with Redding Municipal Code Section
14.16.370, which generally provides that the City Council may authorize contribution to the construction of oversized systems as outlined below:
It is the general policy of the city to construct those public sewers which are, in the opinion of the city council, trunk sewers in all areas within the city, and all areas hereafter annexed into the city which are not yet served by trunk sewers, as rapidly as funds are budgeted for such purposes by the city council. In appropriate circumstances as determined by the city, where private developers construct a trunk sewer at city's requirement either larger or deeper than is needed for the private developer's own development, the city may contribute to the cost of such oversizing or increased depth.
The proposed lift station is part of a larger trunk sewer system that will eventually serve a larger area within the City.
The agreement has been approved as to form by the City Attorney.
Environmental Review
Staff has determined that the action is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, per Section 15061(b)(3) – Common Sense Exemption. CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Approval of the reimbursement agreement will allow the future lift station project to move to the design phase so technical environmental studies can be completed.
Council Priority/City Manager Goals
• Government of the 21st Century – “Be relevant and proactive to the opportunities and challenges of today’s residents and workforce. Anticipate the future to make better decisions today.”
• Economic Development – “Facilitate and become a catalyst for economic development in Redding to create jobs, retain current businesses and attract new ones, and encourage investment in the community.

Re: 4.11(i)--License Agreement - Pacific Gas and Electric Company Page 2 Background/Analysis
PG&E would like the exclusive right to approximately 90,000 square feet at 9787 Abernathy Lane (Licensed Area) for a temporary construction staging area to facilitate its Kilarc-Deschutes 60kv Idle Removal Project for a period of three months, commencing on April 24, 2023, and ending on July 31, 2023. During this time, PG&E will have the right to place gravel and use the area for material/equipment laydown and staging purposes. This will include the right to park vehicles, locate construction trailers, store materials and equipment, and to erect and maintain temporary fencing and gates. The subject area is currently vacant and will not be needed for City use during this time period.
Upon signing the agreement, PG&E will pay the City $1,500 for the three-month period. Under the terms of the License Agreement, PG&E will have the right to extend the terms on a monthto-month basis at $500 a month for up to three months by giving the City written notice of its intentions.
The agreement has been approved as to form by the City Attorney.
Environmental Review
Staff has reviewed the action and determined that the activity is categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, per Section 15301 - Existing Facilities. The City will lease the property to PG&E for limited use and no permanent structures are proposed. The activity will be temporary and will result in negligible expansion of use. The property has no underlying value for sensitive environmental resources, and the project has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment.

CITY OF REDDING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize amending Purchase Order No. 115182 for Bid Schedule No. 5347, for the purchase of Cisco Water System Network Equipment for the City of Redding Water Utility, to Key Code Media for a new total cost not to exceed $250,000.
Fiscal Impact
The Water Utility has sufficient funds available in the approved Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget for this purchase.
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to approve the purchase and provide alternative direction to staff. This alternative will delay implementation of the system improvements and increase the vulnerability to cyber-attacks, as well as potentially lead to system downtime and the potential for public health, safety, and regulatory impacts.
Background/Analysis
On December 6, 2022, the City Council authorized the sole-source purchase of Cisco networking equipment to update the network/communication systems that have been installed over the last 30 years. The current network system allows water treatment facilities, water storage reservoirs, groundwater wells, pump stations, and more to communicate via various types of radio telemetry and wide area network systems.
Seven bid opportunity notices were distributed to potential vendors, in addition to posting the bid on the City of Redding’s (City) website. The lone bid in the amount of $202,023.58 was received from Key Code Media, of Burbank, California.

Chuck Aukland, Public
Works Director
Packet Pg. 398
Report to Redding City Council April 11, 2023
Re: 4.11(j)--Amend Purchase Order for Bid Schedule No. 5347, Water System Network Equipment Page 2
On February 21, 2023, the Council awarded Bid Schedule No. 5347 to Key Code Media. After the Cisco equipment was subsequently ordered, Key Code Media learned from the manufacturer that the specific products listed in the bid required the purchase of additional items. The additional required products include 37 “blanks” to comply with hazardous location protection standards and “Network Advantage” software licenses. During the bidding process the manufacturer (Cisco) should have notified the bidder (Key Code Media) of these critical requirements and submitted a Request for Information (RFI) before the bid opening. However, this did not occur and the City is unable to complete the networking equipment order without spending $30,149.19 for these additional products. The total purchase order amount will be $232,172.77.
The Cisco equipment to be purchased is the most reliable and supported network equipment available for the system and includes routers, ethernet switches, and firewalls, along with the associated licensing software and support services. The new equipment will address potential cybersecurity risks that were identified in the 2020 Risk and Resilience Assessment (RRA) performed by the Water Utility. Cybersecurity objectives identified in the RRA were designed into the new communication/networking system and will be implemented with this new equipment.
Environmental Review
This action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and no further action is required. On December 6, 2022, the Council determined the project was exempt from review under the CEQA Guidelines, per Section 15301 – Existing Facilities.

Dear valued partner:
This letter is for the intent of explaining why your order, 14811211-B8W4S1, for the City of Redding was denied.
- All Cisco quotes and orders require a valid Deal ID which are only granted when an approved BOM has been entered; this process wasn’t followed initially which is why there are issues processing your order.
- The reason the blank, “IR1100-P-BLANK”, is needed when there is no PIM selected is to comply with the Hazardous Location (HazLoc) protection standards. The slot is required to be covered with either the PIM or the blank.
- The reason the Network Advantage software license, “SL-IR1101-NA”, is needed it is part of the embedded IOS XE. This is a mandatory attach for the OS to be up and running.
Please supply the required information as a revised Purchase Order to continue.
Thank you,

Authorize the following actions relative to sole-source procurement of equipment for the City of Redding Water Utility:
(1) Approve networking equipment from Cisco and Palo Alto in an amount not to exceed $450,000 for Fiscal Year 2022-23 to include system routers, ethernet switches, firewalls, and other network equipment and their associated licensing software and support service; and
(2) Find that the action is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, per Section 15301 – Existing Facilities.
Fiscal Impact
There are adequate funds in the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Water Utility budget for the $450,000 purchase of equipment. Funding this purchase will not impact other activities.
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to authorize the purchase of network equipment directly from Cisco and Palo Alto and instead request quotes and award the various items through the standard competitive procurement process. This alternative may result in multiple manufacturers that are not compatible with the necessary equipment for the City’s water system network design nor meet the City of Redding’s (City) Information Technology (IT) Department’s standard requirements to properly function with existing equipment. The Council may also provide alternative direction to staff.

Re: 4.11(a)--Authorize Sole-Source Purchase of Network Equipment Page 2 Background/Analysis
In March 2021, the City’s Water Utility contracted with communications consultants, TJCAA/JEGO Systems, to standardize and redesign the network/communication systems installed over the last 30 years. The current network system allows water treatment facilities, water storage reservoirs, groundwater wells, pump stations, and more to communicate via various types of radio telemetry and wide area network systems. The scope of work included evaluating the existing communications/networking system, identifying vulnerabilities, and recommending equipment to get to an acceptable level of cybersecurity protection. The redesign identified many obsolete products such as the cellular based Cradlepoint network that is past its useful end-of-life. Other potential cybersecurity risks were identified and new equipment is needed to resolve these issues.
In 2020, the Water Utility also performed a risk and resilience assessment (RRA), per the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s America’s Water Infrastructure Act – Section 2013.
Cybersecurity objectives identified in the RRA were designed into the new communication/networking system and will be implemented with this well-organized, reliable, and efficient communication system using the latest proven equipment, methods, and technologies.
The City’s IT Department was consulted to identify the most reliable and supported network equipment needed for the system including routers, ethernet switches, firewalls, and their associated licensing software and support services. The City uses a cooperative procurement method through the National Association of State Procurement Officials which would result in the purchase of these products at the lowest cost. The Cisco and Palo Alto products are a standard product offering that is used and integrated within the City’s existing network system platform. IT staff are trained and certified to operate Cisco products. The water network design plan provided by TJCAA/JEGO Systems specifically recommends Cisco and Palo Alto due to their industry-leading quality and product availability. Based on previous experience, the consultant does not recommend building a network with an assortment of manufacturers that are not compatible with the network design strategy nor meet the IT Department’s existing networking platform.
Environmental Review
Staff has reviewed the project and determined that the project is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, per Section 15301 – Existing Facilities. Class 1 exemptions include the operation, repair, maintenance, or minor alteration of existing public structures, equipment, and facilities. The existing network and communication system will be replaced to meet modern security and efficiency standards. The project will not result in expansion of use, as the project does not include the construction of new facilities. The action area does not have significant values for wildlife habitat or other environmental resources and the project has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment.

Report to Redding City Council April 12, 2023
Re: 9.1(b)--Consider Submission of a letter to the Bureau of Indian Affairs regarding Fee-toTrust Page 2 Background/Analysis
The City of Redding (City) received a letter from the BIA on March 20, 2023, providing notice that Redding Rancheria (Rancheria) filed an application to have real property accepted “into trust.” The property in question is 8.2 acres of land owned by the Rancheria immediately north of the existing hotel and casino off State Highway 273. The property is currently used as a parking lot, walking trail, and has Clear Creek running on the north side. The letter states that no change of use is currently planned. The BIA request was for general comment as well as comment on four specific topics as listed below:
1. If known, the annual amount of property taxes currently levied on the subject property allocated to your organization;
2. Any special assessments, and amounts thereof, that are currently assessed against the property in support of your organization;
3. Any government services that are currently provided to the property by your organization; and
4. If subject to zoning, how the intended use is consistent, or inconsistent, with current zoning.
The City receives no taxes or assessments from these properties. The City does provide utility services to this property under a separate agreement. The property is located in the County of Shasta and is in the City’s Sphere of Influence, but there is no conflict with City Zoning Regulations. The attached letter provides the requested response to the BIA.
Environmental Review
Submittal of a letter to the BIA does not represent a project and no determination under the California Environmental Quality Act is required.
Council Priority/City Manager Goals
• Communication and Transparency – “Improve the quality of communication with the public and City employees to enhance knowledge and increase transparency to improve public trust.”

Please allow this letter to serve as the City of Redding's response to the Bureau of Indian Affairs' (BIA) NOTICE OF GAMING LAND ACQUISITION APPLICATION filed on behalf of the Redding Rancheria.
The subject property (APN 040-390-036) is as described in the notice received from the BIA and is located just north of the existing hotel and casino.
The City of Redding provides the following information as requested:
1. If known, the annual amount of property taxes currently levied on the subject property allocated to your organization.
Response: The noted property is adjacent to, but outside of, the City of Redding city limits and there are no property taxes received directly by the City of Redding.
2. Any special assessments, and amounts thereof, that are currently assessed against the property in support of your organization.
Response: There are no special assessments on the subject property that benefit the City of Redding.
3. Any government services that are currently provided to the property by your organization.
Response: The City of Redding serves the property with water and electric utility services as part of a master meter account.
4. If subject to zoning, how the intended use is consistent, or inconsistent, with current zoning.
Response: As noted above, the proposed Casino is adjacent to the City of Redding city limits and in the City’s sphere of influence. However, the current use is consistent for land use.
Should you have any questions related to this information please contact City Manager Barry Tippin at (530)225-4060.

CITY OF REDDING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Approve the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (C-8717) between US Bank National Association, the City of Redding, and the Redding Joint Powers Financing Authority for the benefit of Redding Electric Utility, extending the agreement until November 1, 2025, and reducing the annual cost to $75,000; and authorizing execution of documents by the City Manager and City Attorney, or designees, and the taking of all necessary actions relating thereto.
Fiscal Impact
Initial attorney fees for the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (“line of credit” or “agreement”) total approximately $10,000. In addition, Redding Electric Utility (REU) will pay, at minimum, an undrawn commitment fee of $75,000 per year for the remainder of the agreement (30 basis points). The amounts payable under the agreement are payable solely from REU revenues, and there is no General Fund impact.
REU is expected to invest significantly in the aging distribution system over the next several years. Staff believes the continued access to a line of credit will allow REU to bridge bond financing and reduce the pace of rate increases by relying on the liquidity the agreement provides.
Alternative Action
The City Council may choose to decline to proceed. The revolving credit agreement would not be extended.

Report to Redding City Council April 11, 2023
Re: 9.5(a)--Amend and Extend REU Revolving Credit Agreement Page 2 Background/Analysis
On October 20, 2020, the City of Redding (City) and the Redding Joint Powers Financing Authority entered into a revolving credit agreement with U.S. Bank National Association due to the continued financial uncertainty related to COVID-19 and future opportunities associated with significant capital outlay, event risk, and deleveraging.
The proposed amendment extends the agreement through November 1, 2025, and reduces the annual cost from $87,500 to $75,000.
REU is one of many electric utilities to acquire a line of credit. Many cities employ these credit facilities to provide optionality and ensure the City can make financial decisions that benefit ratepayers. While the maximum available under the agreement is $25,000,000, REU intends to draw on the line only if extenuating circumstances deem it necessary.

This is not a project defined under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and no further action is required.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Participant shall be entitled to receive (nor shall the Lender be entitled to receive on behalf of any Participant) any greater payment under this Section 2.03 than the Lender would have been entitled to receive without regard to any such participation unless such participation is made with the express written consent of the Authority. (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of the Lender or any such Participant to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender’s or any such Participant’s right to demand such compensation; provided, however, the Authority shall not be required to compensate the Bank and/or any Participant pursuant to this Section 2.03, (i) in an amount greater than that which it would have been required to pay if the Bank had not granted any participation in the Loans, or (ii) for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that the Bank or any Participant, as the case may be, notifies the Authority of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and the Bank’s or any Participant’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six (6) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). (e) Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Authority hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Authority contained in this Section shall survive Packet Pg. 473 Attachment: Clean A&R Credit Agreement (9.5(a)--Amend and Extend REU Revolving Credit Agreement) -24-
the termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of the Obligations of the Authority thereunder and hereunder.
Section 2.04. Net of Taxes, Etc. (a) Any and all payments to the Lender by the Authority hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for any and all Indemnified Taxes. If the Authority shall be required by law to withhold or deduct any Indemnified Taxes imposed by the United States or any political subdivision thereof from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to the Lender, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.04), the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Authority shall make such deductions and (iii) the Authority shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. If the Authority shall make any payment under this Section 2.04 to or for the benefit of the Lender with respect to Indemnified Taxes and if the Lender shall claim any credit or deduction for such Indemnified Taxes against any other taxes payable by the Lender to any taxing jurisdiction in the United States then the Lender shall pay to the Authority an amount equal to the amount by which such other taxes are actually reduced; provided, that the aggregate amount payable by the Lender pursuant to this sentence shall not exceed the aggregate amount previously paid by the Authority with respect to such Indemnified Taxes. In addition, the Authority agrees to pay any present or future stamp, recording or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise under the laws of the United States of America or any state of the United States from any payment made hereunder or otherwise with respect to this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). The Lender shall provide to the Authority within a reasonable time a copy of any written notification it receives with respect to Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes owing by the Authority to the Lender hereunder; provided, that the Lender’s failure to send such notice shall not relieve the Authority of its obligation to pay such amounts hereunder. (b) The Authority shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the provisions hereof, pay the Lender for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes including any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.04 paid by the Lender or any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted; provided that the Authority shall not be obligated to pay the Lender for any penalties, interest or expenses relating to Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes arising from the Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Lender agrees to give notice to the Authority of the assertion of any claim against the Lender relating to such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as promptly as is practicable after being notified of such assertion; provided, that the Lender’s failure to notify the Authority promptly of such assertion shall not relieve the Authority of its obligation under this Section 2.04. Payments by the Authority pursuant to this subsection (b) shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date the Lender makes written demand therefor, which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate describing in reasonable detail the basis thereof. The Lender agrees to repay to the Authority any refund (including that portion of any interest that was included as part of such refund) with respect to Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Authority pursuant to this Section 2.04 received by the Lender for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes that were paid by the Authority pursuant to this Section 2.04 Packet Pg. 474 Attachment: Clean A&R Credit Agreement (9.5(a)--Amend and Extend REU Revolving Credit Agreement) -25-
and to contest, with the cooperation and at the expense of the Authority, any such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes which the Lender or the Authority reasonably believes not to have been properly assessed.
(c) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Indemnified Taxes by the Authority, the Authority shall furnish to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.
(d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Authority hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Authority contained in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of the Obligations of the Authority thereunder and hereunder.
Section 2.05. Excess Interest. (i) If the amount of interest payable for any period in accordance with the terms hereof exceeds the amount of interest that would be payable for such period had interest for such period been calculated at the maximum interest rate permitted by Applicable Law, then interest for such period shall be payable in an amount calculated at the maximum interest rate permitted by Applicable Law.
(ii) Any interest that would have been due and payable for any period but for the operation of the immediately preceding subclause (i) shall accrue and be payable as provided in this subclause (ii) and shall, less interest actually paid to the applicable Lender for such period, constitute the “Excess Interest Amount.” If there is any accrued and unpaid Excess Interest Amount as of any date, then the principal amount with respect to which interest is payable shall bear interest at the maximum interest rate permitted by Applicable Law until payment to the Lender of the entire Excess Interest Amount.
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the date on which no principal amount hereunder remains unpaid, to the extent possible without violating Applicable Laws, the Authority shall pay to the Lender a fee equal to any accrued and unpaid Excess Interest Amount.
Section 2.06. Taxable Date. (i) In the event a Taxable Date occurs, the Authority hereby agrees to pay to the Lender or any Participant within 30 days of receipt of notice from a Lender (1) an amount equal to the difference between (A) the amount of interest that would have been paid to the Lender, or such Participant, as applicable, on any Tax-Exempt Loans during the period for which interest on such Tax-Exempt Loans is includable in the gross income of the Lender or such Participant, as applicable, if such Tax-Exempt Loans had borne interest at the Taxable GrossUp Rate, beginning on the Taxable Date (the “Taxable Period”), and (B) the amount of interest actually paid to the Lender or such Participant, as applicable, during the Taxable Period, and (2) an amount equal to any interest, penalties or charges owed by the Lender, or any Participant, as applicable, as a result of interest on the Tax-Exempt Loans becoming includable in the gross income of the Lender or such Participant, as applicable, together with any and all reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, or other out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Lender or such Participant, as applicable, in connection therewith.
Packet Pg. 475 Attachment: Clean A&R Credit Agreement (9.5(a)--Amend and Extend REU Revolving Credit Agreement) -26-
(ii) Subject to the provisions of clauses (iii) and (iv) below, the Lender shall afford the Authority the opportunity, at the Authority’s sole cost and expense, to contest (1) the validity of any amendment to the Code which causes the interest on such Tax-Exempt Loans to be includable in the gross income of the Lender or any Participant or (2) any challenge to the validity of the tax exemption with respect to the interest on the Tax-Exempt Loans, including the right to direct the necessary litigation contesting such challenge (including administrative audit appeals). To the extent any such contest results in a determination that no Taxable Date occurred with respect to a Tax-Exempt Loan or any portion thereof, or that the relevant Taxable Date occurred later than previously assumed for purposes hereof, the Lender shall refund to Authority any amount paid to the Lender by the Authority pursuant to the provisions of clause (i) above in excess of the amount that would have been payable, if any, if no Taxable Date had occurred or the relevant Taxable Date occurred later than previously assumed, as applicable.
(iii) As a condition precedent to the exercise by the Authority of its right to contest set forth in clause (ii) above, the Authority shall, on demand, immediately reimburse the Lender or such Participant, as applicable, for any and all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees for services that may be required or desirable) that may be incurred by the Lender or such Participant, as applicable, in connection with any such contest, and shall, on demand, immediately reimburse the Lender or such Participant, as applicable, for any and all penalties or other charges payable by the Lender or such Participant, as applicable, for failure to include such interest in its gross income. (iv) Upon the occurrence of a Taxable Date, subject to Section 2.12 hereof, the Authority may choose to repay the outstanding principal amount of Tax-Exempt Loans with the proceeds of a Taxable Loan.
(v) The obligations of the Authority and the Lender under this Section 2.06 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Section 2.07. Determination of Tax-Exempt Rates and Taxable Loan Rates. (a) For the period commencing on the Original Closing Date, to but not including the Amendment and Restatement Date, the Loans outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement shall bear interest in accordance with the applicable terms and provisions specified in the Existing Credit Agreement as in effect from time to time prior to the Amendment and Restatement Date. [Any interest on the Initial Revolving Loan accrued pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement shall be payable by the Authority on the first Interest Payment Date to occur hereunder. From an after the Amendment and Restatement Date, the Initial Revolving Loan shall (1) constitute a [Tax-Exempt][Taxable] Loan hereunder, (2) shall bear interest as set forth in the immediately succeeding clause (B) and (3) otherwise be payable as a [Tax-Exempt][Taxable] Loan pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof.]
(b) Tax-Exempt Loans shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Tax-Exempt Rate. (c) Taxable Loans shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Taxable Loan Rate.
Packet Pg. 476 Attachment: Clean A&R Credit Agreement (9.5(a)--Amend and Extend REU Revolving Credit Agreement) -27-
(d) The initial Tax-Exempt Rate or Taxable Loan Rate, as applicable, for a particular Revolving Loan shall be determined by the Lender on the Computation Date immediately preceding the related borrowing date; provided, however, that (i) if there are any Tax-Exempt Loans already outstanding on any borrowing date, such new Tax-Exempt Loan shall bear interest at the Tax-Exempt Rate then in effect and (ii) if there are any Taxable Loans already outstanding on any borrowing date, such new Taxable Loan shall bear interest at the Taxable Loan Rate then in effect[; provided, further, however, with respect to the Initial Revolving Loan, the initial Tax-Exempt Rate shall be determined on the Computation Date immediately preceding the Amendment and Restatement Date]. Following the determination of the initial rate, the applicable Tax-Exempt Rate or Taxable Loan Rate for the next succeeding Interest Accrual Period shall be determined by the Lender on the Computation Date immediately preceding such Interest Accrual Period, and such rate shall be effective on the immediately succeeding BSBY Index Rate Reset Date. Thereafter, the applicable Tax-Exempt Rate or Taxable Loan Rate shall be determined by the Lender on each Computation Date, and such rate shall be effective on the immediately succeeding BSBY Index Rate Reset Date. The Lender will consolidate the unpaid principal balance of the Tax-Exempt Loans so that all Tax-Exempt Loans bear interest at the same TaxExempt Rate and so there is only one (1) Interest Accrual Period in effect at any time for TaxExempt Loans. The Lender will consolidate the unpaid principal balance of the Taxable Loans so that all Taxable Loans bear interest at the same Taxable Loan Rate and so that there is only one (1) Interest Accrual Period in effect at any time for Taxable Loans.
Section 2.08. Pledge of Authority Revenues and Obligations Absolute.

This pledge shall constitute a lien on and security interest in such assets and shall attach, be perfected and be valid and binding from and after delivery of the Revolving Notes, without any physical delivery thereof or further act. (b) In addition, the Authority hereby grants a security interest in and assigns to the Lender all of the right, title and interest of the Authority in the Installment Sale Agreement as security for the repayment of all amounts payable under the Revolving Notes and under this Agreement. The Lender shall be entitled to and shall collect and receive all of the Authority Revenues, and any Authority Revenues collected or received by the Authority shall be deemed to be held, and to have been collected or received, by the Authority as the agent of the Lender and shall forthwith be paid by the Authority to the Lender. The Lender shall also be entitled to take all steps, actions and proceedings reasonably necessary in its judgment to enforce all of the rights of the Authority and all of the obligations of the City under the Installment Sale Agreement. (c) The City hereby acknowledges the foregoing pledge of the Authority Revenues and all of the rights, title and interest of the Authority in the Installment Sale Agreement. The City agrees to pay the Authority Revenues to the Lender to the extent amounts are owed hereunder and/or under the Revolving Notes. None of the obligations of the Authority hereunder or under the Revolving Notes shall be a debt of the City within the meaning of any constitutional, statutory or charter limitation upon the creation of general obligation indebtedness of the City, and the Authority shall not be liable for the payment of any amounts hereunder or under the Revolving Notes out of any money of the Authority other than the Authority Revenues.
Packet Pg. 477 Attachment: Clean A&R Credit Agreement (9.5(a)--Amend and Extend REU Revolving Credit Agreement) -28-

The Authority and the City each acknowledge and agree that all fees previously paid to the Lender under the Existing Credit Agreement were fully earned and nonrefundable. (ii) For the period commencing on and including the Amendment and Restatement Date, the Authority shall pay to the Lender a per annum fee equal to the Undrawn Commitment Fee (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) on the average daily Available Commitment, which fee shall be due and payable by the Authority quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each April, July, October and January of each calendar year (beginning on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date) and on the Commitment Termination Date, or such earlier date on which the Commitment may be terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.10. Extension of Maturity Date. The Authority may request an extension of the Maturity Date in writing in the form of Exhibit E hereto not more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the then current Maturity Date. The Lender will make reasonable efforts to respond to such request within sixty (60) days after receipt of all information necessary, in the Lender’s judgment, to permit the Lender to make an informed credit decision. If the Lender fails to definitively respond to such request within such sixty (60) day period, the Lender shall be deemed to have refused to grant the extension requested. The Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, decide to accept or reject any such proposed extension and no extension shall become effective unless the Lender shall have consented thereto in writing in the form of Exhibit F hereto or otherwise. The Lender’s consent, if granted, shall be conditioned upon the preparation, execution and delivery of documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender (which may include, but shall not be limited to the delivery of a “no adverse effect opinion” of Bond Counsel to the Lender with respect to the tax-exempt status of the Revolving Notes).
Section 2.11. Payments Due on Non-Business Days. In any case where the date of any payment due shall not be a Business Day, then payment need not be made on such date but shall Packet Pg. 479 Attachment: Clean A&R Credit Agreement (9.5(a)--Amend and Extend REU Revolving Credit Agreement) -30-
be made on the next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on the date due, with interest to accrue to the date of such payment.
Section 2.12. Breakage Expenses. In the event the Lender shall incur any loss, cost, or expense (including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired or contracted to be acquired by the Lender or the relending or reinvesting of such deposits or other funds or amounts paid or prepaid to the Lender) as a result of any prepayment of the Revolving Loans, including any loss, cost, or expense resulting from prepayment on a day other than an BSBY Index Rate Reset Date (the “Breakage Expenses”), for any reason, whether before or after a Default, and whether or not such payment is required by any provision of this Agreement or the Related Documents, then upon the demand of the Lender, the Authority shall pay to the Lender a prepayment, redemption or conversion premium, as applicable, in such amount as will reimburse the Lender for such Breakage Expenses. If the Lender requests such Breakage Expenses it shall provide to the Authority a certificate setting forth the computation of the Breakage Expenses in reasonable detail and such certificate shall be conclusive if reasonably determined.
Section 2.13. Reduction and Termination. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.09(c) hereof, the Available Commitment shall be reduced from time to time as requested by the Authority within ten (10) days of the Authority’s written notice to the Lender requesting such reduction in the form of Exhibit G hereto; provided, that (i) each such reduction amount shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof, and (ii) any reduction in the Available Commitment shall not be effective until the Lender delivers to the Authority a notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H reflecting such reduction. (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.09(c) hereof, the Authority may at any time and at its sole option terminate the Commitment upon ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lender in the form of Exhibit G hereto. As a condition to any such termination, the Authority shall pay or cause to be paid all Obligations due and owing to the Lender at such time.
Section 2.14. Illegality. If the Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for the Lender to make, maintain or fund Revolving Loans whose interest is determined by reference to BSBY, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon BSBY, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of the Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by the Lender to the Authority, any obligation of the Lender to make Revolving Loans with reference to BSBY shall be suspended until the Lender notifies the Authority that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Authority shall, upon demand from the Lender convert the interest on all Revolving Loans to Revolving Loans that bear interest at the Alternate Rate, either on the BSBY Index Rate Reset Date relating to such Revolving Loans, if the Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Advances until such day, and if the Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain Revolving Loans through the BSBY Index Rate Reset Date therefor, then immediately upon demand. Upon any such conversion, the Authority shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted on the date of such conversion.
Packet Pg. 480 Attachment: Clean A&R Credit Agreement (9.5(a)--Amend and Extend REU Revolving Credit Agreement) -31-
Section 2.15. Adequacy of Interest Rate. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Related Document, but in any event subject to Sections 2.05 and 2.07 hereof, if the Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that:
(i) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund Revolving Loans bearing interest at the Taxable Loan Rate or Tax-Exempt Rate are not available to the Lender in the relevant market, or
(ii) the Taxable Loan Rate or Tax-Exempt Rate applicable to Revolving Loans is not ascertainable or available (including, without limitation, because the applicable Reuters Screen (or on any successor or substitute page on such screen) is unavailable) or does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of making Revolving Loans at the Taxable Loan Rate or Tax-Exempt Rate,
then the Lender shall suspend the availability of the Taxable Loan Rate or Tax-Exempt Rate and require any affected Revolving Loans be repaid or converted to bearing interest at the Alternate Rate.
(b) Inability to Determine Rates. (i) If the Lender determines in its sole discretion that for any reason in connection with any Revolving Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (A) the administrator of the BSBY Rate (or any substitute index which replaces the BSBY Rate (the BSBY Rate or such replacement, the “Benchmark”)) has made a public statement that such Benchmark will no longer be provided, (B) the administrator of the Benchmark has announced that such Benchmark is no longer representative or (C) any similar circumstance exists such that such Benchmark has become permanently unavailable or ceased to exist, the Lender will promptly so notify the City and the Authority. Upon such determination, the obligation of the Lender to make or maintain Revolving Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the BSBY Rate shall be suspended until the Lender revokes such notice. The Lender will replace such Benchmark with a replacement rate. In the case of the BSBY Rate, such replacement rate will be Term SOFR; provided that if the Lender determines in its sole discretion that Term SOFR is not available for the applicable Revolving Loan at the time of such replacement, then such replacement rate will be Daily Simple SOFR. In connection with the selection and implementation of any such replacement rate, the Lender may make any technical, administrative or operational changes that the Lender decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such replacement rate. The Lender’s internal records of applicable interest rates shall be determinative in the absence of manifest error. If the alternate rate of interest determined pursuant to this Section 2.15(b) shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, (1) “Board” means the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System together with any committees convened by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, (2) “SOFR” means the secured overnight financing rate which is published by the Board and available at www.newyorkfed.org; (3) “Term SOFR” means the greater of (x) zero percent (0%) and (y) a forward-looking term rate based on SOFR and recommended by the Board plus 0.11448% (11.448 basis points) for a one-month tenor; and (4) “Daily Simple SOFR” means the greater of (x) zero percent (0%) and (y) a daily rate based on Packet Pg. 481 Attachment: Clean A&R Credit Agreement (9.5(a)--Amend and Extend REU Revolving Credit Agreement) -32-
SOFR and determined by the Lender in accordance with the conventions for such rate selected by the Lender, plus 0.11448% (11.448 basis points).
(ii) Opinion or Tax Gross-up Required. Upon the transition from a Benchmark to a replacement rate, either: (1) the Authority, at its own expense, will deliver to the Lender an opinion of Bond Counsel acceptable to the Lender that the replacement of a Benchmark with a replacement rate does not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Tax-Exempt Revolving Loans for the Lender or any other holder of the TaxExempt Note; or (2) if no such opinion is delivered to the Lender on the effective date of such replacement, a Determination of Taxability shall have been deemed to have occurred and, thereafter, any outstanding Tax-Exempt Revolving Loan shall bear interest at the Taxable Rate.

All references made to the Existing Credit Agreement in any Related Document or in any other related instrument or document shall, unless otherwise specified, be deemed to refer to this Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective and amends and restates and supersedes all provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement (other than those that survive the termination thereof) upon the execution of this Agreement by each of the parties hereto and the fulfillment of all conditions precedent hereof but is not intended to be or operate as a novation or an accord and satisfaction of the Existing Credit Agreement or the indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of the Authority or the City evidenced or provided for thereunder.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein, this Agreement is not intended to and does not serve to effect a novation of the “Obligations” pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement. Instead, it is the express intention of the parties hereto to reaffirm the loans and obligations created under the Existing Credit Agreement and the security therefor. The City and the Authority each acknowledges and confirms that the term “Obligations” as used in the Related Documents (or any other term used therein to describe or refer to the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the City and/or the Authority to the Lender) includes, without limitation, the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the City and/or the Authority under the Notes to be delivered in connection with this Agreement and under the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended and restated hereby, as the same may be further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.
The City and the Authority hereby ratifies and reaffirms all of their respective payment and performance obligations and the security therefor, contingent or otherwise, under each of the Related Documents to which it is a party (after giving effect hereto).
