stations by 2025. Community Choice Aggregators (CCAs), as local government agencies themselves, have a proven track record of serving communities with programs and service options tailored to meet local needs and priorities and are particularly well- suited to deploy transportation electrification infrastructure.

Currently, all customers pay into programs administered by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), but only investor-owned utilities can access these funds to support their own programs, and under Assembly Bill 1814 (AB 1814), CCAs would also be able to apply for these funds, correcting this funding inequity and allowing all customers to fully benefit from the programs their monthly bills support. AB 1814 adds more effective and nimble administrators to the CPUC’s programs, makes its transportation electrification more successful, expands upon successful CCA transportation electrification offerings, and ensures ratepayer fairness for CCA communities.

Since 2013, the City of Richmond has been a member of Marin Clean Energy (MCE) and supported efforts to ensure that CCAs have the tools necessary to confront the climate crisis, eliminate fossil fuel greenhouse gas emissions, and create equitable community benefits. Adopted in 2016, the City of Richmond’s Climate Action Plan identified our transportation sector as the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, with the majority generated by vehicles traveling on state highways and city streets, contributing to air pollution and climate change, and threatening the health of our residents and the sustainability of our planet. The City of Richmond, through its Climate Action Plan, is committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and preparing for impacts of climate change on public health, infrastructure, ecosystems, and public space, focusing on health equity and climate justice.

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Richmond supports the request for funding to the Office of Senator Nancy Skinner for the RICHMOND INTERMODAL TRANSIT CENTER NEIGHBORHOOD TRANSFORMATION PROJECT.

A.1 PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION

The project is located at the Richmond Transit Hub, a regional multimodal facility that combines BART, AMTRAK/Capitol Corridor, AC Transit Bus Service and Bikeshare as well as access to Taxis, Lyft and Uber and a new on-demand shuttle service.

The City of Richmond will partner with the Richmond Main Street Project (RMSI), Urban Tilth, COBIZ, BART, Amtrak, and AC Transit to transform and activate this area into a safe and attractive neighborhood that can reach its full potential as a regional transportation hub. Improvements will include landscaping, Internet access, wayfinding, lighting and security improvements as well as indoor and outdoor activities such as music, markets and art that activate public spaces and attract people for activities other than just transportation. Comingled responsibilities of multiple public agencies ha ve made both maintenance and improvements historically difficult and therefore substandard, with much falling between the cracks, but a goal of this project is better coordination and cooperation.

The Richmond Intermodal Transportation Station is the only location in the San Francisco Bay Area that combines access to BART, AMTRAK/Capitol Corridor and AC Transit. Bikeshare also available with connections to the Richmond Greenway/Ohlone Greenway and San Francisco Bay Trail. Pre- Covid, there were 8,000 boardings a day, making it the most pedestrian active place in Richmond.

On January 31, 2022, Richmond will launch Richmond Moves, the city’s first on-demand public shuttle service. Richmond Moves will expand access to efficient, equitable, and sustainable transportation in the Richmond community, particularly for neighborhoods that are underserved by other mobility options. This will provide a critical link to Richmond’s ferry terminal, only a mile away.

In the immediate neighborhood is COBIZ, a business incubator, several restaurants, retail stores and TODs, including hundreds of units of affordable housing, East Bay Center for Performing Arts and the Richmond Visitor Center. The location is connected to the Richmond Civic Center six blocks away by the Nevin Avenue Pedestrian Improvement Project. Unfortunately, the area is run down, poorly maintained, unattractive and suffers from both actual crime and a perception that it is unsafe. The purpose of this project is to improve landscaping, lighting, Internet access and wayfinding to make the area safer, more attractive and more usable.

A.2 DEMONSTRATED COMMUNITY NEED

• Goal 1. Reduce the Amount of Waste and Debris: Because of the number of people who pass through the project area (8,000 daily boardings pre-COVID), trash accumulation is constant. Reducing or eliminating the amount of trash is key to making the area more welcoming and attrac tive as well as safer.

Figure 5 - Waste and debris are currently the norm
• Goal 2. Beautify and Improve Public Space: Public landscaping in and around the Transit Plaza is sparse, and what is there is badly neglected. It is gray and drab. Additional trees, flowers and ground cover, properly maintained, is a critical part of this project. Use of drought tolerant native plants is preferred.

Figure 6 - Example of empty tree well

• Goal 3. Improving Public Spaces for Walking and Recreation: Sidewalks in the area are suffering from cracking and uplifts that pose a safety hazard. Street intersection do not comply with best practices for pedestrian safety. The Transit Plaza is covered with chewing gum that has accumulated for years makes it unattractive with an appearance of neglect. Graffiti is rampant. Wayfinding needs to be greatly improved.
•
Figure 7 - Pedestrian improvements are needed to make intersections safer and more accessible

• Goal 4. Advance Equity for Underserved Communities: The project is located in Richmond’s Iron Triangle, the City’s most underserved community with the highest poverty rate. It is largely a community of color and has been designated as an Opportunity Zone. This project will improve business opportunities and create jobs in the community and improve the quality of life for its resident s.

o The Iron Triangle is a historic neighborhood in the center of Richmond. Its one square mile was originally defined by three major railroad lines that formed a triangle around its border, hence

its name. Today, its southern boundary is the Richmond Greenway, a multi-use path that was constructed in the former Atchison-Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad corridor.

o The Neighborhood Has Good Bones: Historic and architecturally notable houses, a well -laid- out street grid with short, walkable blocks, and a major regional transit hub (Richmond is the only Bay Area city with a direct BART-to Amtrak connection). Demographics:
o According to the 2010 US Census, the Iron Triangle neighborhood was 60% Latino, 27% African-American, 5% Asian, 7% other. The Iron Triangle is a historic center for African Americans who came from the South to work in the Richmond shipyards and the recent population trend has been an increase in Latinos, including immigrants from Mexico and Central America

o Economics: Low-income and working poor; 50% of children live in poverty.

o Environment: The Chevron Richmond Refinery, Port of Richmond, Richmond Parkway, railroad lines, and industrial uses contribute to poor air quality, few trees or natural areas.

o Challenges: Unemployment, blight and decay, beleaguered and underfunded schools, little access to healthy foods, persistent health problems including asthma and obesity, high levels of violent crime, dangerous streets, and hopelessness.

A.3 PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT
• This project is consistent with the following General Plan goals and actions:

o Goal ED4: A Revitalized Downtown Promote Downtown and Macdonald Avenue as the heart of Richmond’s cultural and civic life by encouraging a blend of retail, office space and personal service establishments. Contribute to the Downtown’s vitality by providing safe, clean streets with signature urban design elements that announce entry into Central Richmond and higher density housing that is well served by transit. o Policy ED4.2 Safe and Walkable Streets Provide a safe and comfortable walking environment in the Downtown and along Macdonald Avenue. Encourage land uses, design guidelines, landscaping and infrastructure that supports active use of public areas. Higher level of use will contribute to more “eyes-on-the-street” that deters crime and supports economic activity
o Well-Maintained Properties Encourage owners to maintain their property in the Downtown and along the Macdonald Avenue and its surrounding residential neighborhoods. Improving the physical appearance of properties is a critical step towards attracting new residents, employers and visitors to Richmond.
o Arts and Cultural Resources Support arts resources in the Downtown and along Macdonald Avenue. The Richmond Art Center and East Bay Center for Performing Arts are prime assets for enhancing Richmond’s identity and image, and can help attract visitors and community members to Downtown Richmond
o Action ED4.A Macdonald Avenue Economic Revitalization Plan Continue to update and implement the Macdonald Avenue Economic Revitalization Plan. The Plan calls for new development along Macdonald Avenue’s eastern end to concentrate activity around the rebuilt Macdonald Avenue/Interstate 80 Regional Shopping Center by taking advantage of the site’s access to Interstate 80. The central part of Macdonald Avenue is envisioned as a higher-density activity node, focused around the BART/Amtrak station with new multi- family housing and more local-serving retail in a mixed-use format. o Action ED4.B Richmond Main Street Initiative Regularly review and update the Main Street Initiative program. Successful Main Street programs require a pro-active, hands-on approach to working with merchants, improving communications between stakeholders, marketing the neighborhood, leveraging resources for physical improvements and services and building a sense of community among tenants and property owners. As the Macdonald Avenue Economic Revitalization Plan gains momentum and the Civic Center Master Plan is completed, the Main Street Initiative will further extend these revitalization efforts. o Action ED4.C Cultural District Designation Explore the potential for defining focal areas or districts in the Downtown and along Macdonald Avenue as cultural, historic and/ or arts- related activity hubs. Promoting areas of the City where there is a concentration of arts, historic and culture-related activities, sites, installations and/or institutions can provide benefits such as: increasing visibility of revitalization efforts by concentrating energy into catalytic nodes; promoting historic and cultural awareness and preservation; and serving as a marketing tool for increasing cultural tourism, business activity, visitors and residents to Richmond. In the case of arts districts, designating focal areas could also serve as a springboard for enticing people to live and work in the area. Ideally, districts or zones should

be walkable areas that may include galleries; live-work studios; arts-related retail; and entertainment and performance facilities; and/or historic features. o Policy ED1.1 Safe, Well-Maintained Neighborhoods and Public Spaces Reduce crime and violence and maintain safe and clean neighborhoods and public spaces. Poorly maintained and underutilized streets and property can detract from Richmond’s image as a viable place to live and do business. Assertive code enforcement by the City will help ensure that Richmond’s neighborhoods are safe and retain their value. o Policy ED1.2 High Quality Infrastructure and Public Services Provide a range of high quality infrastructure and public services for residents and visitors. Adequate and well-maintained infrastructure such as streets, freeways and utilities are essential for improving the quality of life for residents and attracting businesses to locate in Richmond. Public amenities such as schools, libraries, parks, emergency and public safety services and public transit add to the attractiveness of a community.

July 12, 2021

Richmond BART Station
With BART set to return to near pre-pandemic service levels starting Aug. 2, Richmond Mayor Tom Butt is welcoming back activity at the Richmond Transit Center with a grand re-opening party this week.

The community event is scheduled to take place Friday, July 16, from 4-6 p.m. at the Transit Center, located at the BART Station at the Downtown Richmond Visitor Center at 1600 Nevin

Plaza. The event will include games, snacks, giveaways, free Johnson & Johnson vaccines and possible prizes for vaccinated individuals, the city says. Representatives of transit agencies, community organizations, and local small businesses will also attend to offer resources.

The Richmond Transit Center is where BART, AC Transit and Amtrak all meet, and where about 8,000 people traveled through daily prior to the pandemic. It’s also home to the Downtown Richmond Visitor Center, a relatively recent addition currently housing the Richmond Main Street Initiative and The Rich Clothing Company operate. “Although the Richmond Transit Center never ceased operation during COVID-19, record –low ridership on BART, Amtrak, and AC Transit significantly slowed down a site that used to be the busiest place in Richmond (over 8,000 users per day),” Mayor Butt said. “As our state and region continue easing shelter-in-place restrictions, the grand re-opening celebration is intended to symbolize a return to our focus on making the Transit Center a catalyst of activity, community gathering, and economic vitality for the downtown area.” For questions about the upcoming event, call or email the Mayor’s Office at (510) 620–6503, or [email protected].

Elgin Nelson on September 16, 2021
Live music, food, artists and vendors return to Richmond this weekend, with the 13th annual Spirit & Soul Festival.

The annual ticketed event , hosted by the Richmond Main Street Initiative, celebrates the city’s arts and culture scene. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it will be presented as a hybrid this year.

The free virtual broadcast will stream from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m., with an in-person VIP Watch Party from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at El Garage, 1428 Macdonald Ave.

Guests can stream the broadcast through KOFY TV20, Facebook Live, Youtube Live and Instagram Live. It will include musical performances by Top Shelf, Los Cenzontles accompanied by Los Originarios, and R&B singer-songwriter Wanda Gonzalez, who is from Richmond.

The Main Street Initiative, a nonprofit dedicated to the revitalization of downtown Richmond, hopes the event will renew excitement around community events after the long pandemic lockdown, said Alicia Gallo, interim executive director. “Trying new things is our passion for activating spaces downtown and bringing the community together, ” Gallo said.

The watch party will feature a viewing of the virtual broadcast, along with food by El Garage and drinks by East Brother Beer Company and Aguas Fresca, as well as the Main Street Initiative’s homemade margaritas.

Attendees must show proof of vaccination in either physical or digital form, along with a photo ID. Vaccinated people who have not yet obtained a a digital vaccination record, can register their vaccine status at myvaccinerecord.cdph.ca.gov. All attendees are asked to wear a mask for the in-person gathering.

Gallo expects around 10,000 people to stream the broadcast. Only about 50 people were registered by mid-week for the watch party. Tickets for that are $50 online, with the proceeds supporting downtown businesses.

10th annual Healthy Village Festival…was
Fabulous!

The weather was perfect and we had record-breaking attendance from visitors and vendors at Healthy Village Festival 2019 on June 29. Nearly 400 residents came out to learn health tips, try new exercises, Ask a Doc, make art, play chess, take home free produce, shop and dine, and hang out with Richmond fire fighters. We got our cardio workout on with Zumba, stretched and breathed with yoga, and sang along with Voices of Reason.

Youngsters enjoyed cuddling with ducklings at the Happy Lot Farm & Garden pop-up farm and pony rides and adults chatted with Kaiser Permanente physicians while getting their blood pressure checked. Check out this Richmond Standard article and video for highlights and words from our Healthy Village Festival Grand Marshal, councilmember Demnlus Johnson III.

We offer huge thanks to everyone who supported us in bringing Healthy Village Festival 2019 to life: our 31 community partners and local businesses for hosting booths and activities, our 14 volunteers for all their time (60 hours!) and acts of service staffing the event, our board of directors and Health Career Pathways intern Michelle Hong, and our sponsors.

Music on the Main
is our longest running event series. Since 2001, this concert series has brought thousands of people Downtown to enjoy a night on the town filled with music, food, and family fun. Each concert features a variety of musical performances, arts and crafts activities for children, local entrepreneurs and nonprofit organizations, and food. Music on the Main is a critical tool that Richmond Main Street uses to engage the community, provide business opportunities to local entrepreneurs and district merchants, and build a strong arts and entertainment district.

Music on the Main 2019 ~ A Concert Series
for the Record Books

Our 2019 Music on the Main summer concert series marked 18 seasons of activating spaces and building community in Downtown Richmond with music, food, and family fun.

Councilmember Jael Myrick made a special appearance serving as our first ever Music on the Main grand marshal at the July 24 concert. Rising vocalists of the RPAL music program-based trio KLM started us off with soulful songs, followed by BeaufunK with Michael Jeffries, and an invigorating Zumba break. Richmond’s own “King of Zydeco” Andre Thierry took us home with an incredible set that had everyone on the dance floor. Check out this Richmond Standard article and video for highlights.

We kept the fun summertime feeling going with the second and final concert of the series on August 28. For two and a half hours, the Marina Way parking lot was packed with vendors, activities, and residents. Music emanated from the stage, bringing people of all ages to the dance floor: we grooved to old school favorites by GTS Band, we joined the SAMBAFUNK! drumline, and got our Zumba on with Grand Marshal Melvin Willis. We got creative with Stonyfield Organics, had fun with vegetables with Fresh Approach, and made new friends.

We offer huge thanks to our volunteers (36 individuals contributing 131 hours of service!), community partners and vendors (56!), and sponsors without whom these events would not be possible.

Chill with a Cop
Ice Cream Social with Richmond Police Department
A project of our Clean & Safe Committee, Chill with a Cop is an agenda-free and welcoming event designed to strengthen relationships between residents and public safety professionals

over a delicious scoop of ice cream. Chill with a Cop creates opportunities for the community to gather and come together in Downtown Richmond, access crime prevention tools and resources, play chess, take home free books, and more.

Yuletide Cheer in the Iron Triangle
Downtown Holiday Festival

Is one of Richmond Main Street Initiative’s longest running annual events. Beginning in 2012, Richmond Main Street and East Bay Center for the Performing Arts formed a partnership to bring this special event filled with yuletide cheer to the community. Thanks to the help of countless volunteers, we transform the Center’s beautifully remodeled facility—the historic Winters Building, located at 339 11th Street—into a winter wonderland. We invite families from the Iron Triangle and surrounding communities to participate in a unique holiday celebration complete with festive music, “A Richmond Nutcracker” performances, tasty snacks, group caroling, the magical illumination of Macdonald Avenue, and a memorable visit from Santa Claus.

RMSI partnership gives

access to mentoring
January 26, 2022

By Kathy Chouteau

A newly launched partnership between Richmond Main Street Initiative (RMSI) and Pacific Community Ventures (PCV) is bringing free and confidential business advice to downtown small business owners.

The nonprofit collaboration will give small businesses access to PCV’s BusinessAdvising.org mentoring platform with thousands of advisors who will work “to solve [their] biggest business challenges and seize new opportunities” in areas like marketing, finance and accounting, executive coaching, business planning, operations (supply chain, B2B, B2C), sales, readying for large contracts and more, per RMSI.

PCV’s BusinessAdvising.org platform puts the power of volunteerism to use to benefit local communities like downtown Richmond by applying a nationwide network of experienced entrepreneurs, professionals, and senior leaders—originating from major banks, consulting firms, large corporations and the like—“to use their own business expertise to create more opportunities in communities,” said RMSI.

The sign-up process is free and easy and downtown Richmond businesses can connect with an advisor in a variety of ways, such as by phone, in-person or via video chat on Facetime, Slack and Google Hangout. RMSI added that “the companies who work with their free advisors grow annual revenue by 20 percent each year, on average.”
RMSI Executive Director Andrea Portillo-Knowles said that PCV’s business advising team “understands what it means to connect with their clients, on both a professional and personal level.” She added that they are willing to meet our small business owners “where they are to achieve their goals.”
Downtown Richmond businesses wanting to get started can sign-up for the mentoring platform here. Questions? Learn more here or contact RMSI at (510) 236-4049 or [email protected].
‘Transformative’ CoBiz Richmond opens its doors
November 1, 2019

CoBiz CEO Wesley Alexander (left) and CoBiz Community Manager Christina Kenney on opening day for the new co-working space and incubator at 1503 Macdonald Ave. in Richmond on Nov. 1, 2019.

CoBiz, the new state-of-the-art co-working space and business incubator that civic leaders are calling ground zero for the revitalization of Downtown Richmond, opened its doors today.

The modern, 9,000-square-foot CoBiz, located in the groundfloor space of the BART parking garage at 1503 Macdonald Ave. – and next to the new Richmond Food Hall – provides small businesses, innovators, nonprofits and freelance creatives in West Contra Costa County with cutting-edge technologies and collaborative spaces in the middle of the downtown’s transit center.

MC Hammer, the East Bay native and multimillion record-selling hip hop artist who has since transformed into a respected technology investor and entrepreneur, is reportedly set to be the first of many high-profile speakers at CoBiz, which aims to be a hub for entrepreneurial and nonprofit exchange. CoBiz features areas for TedX seminars, speaker series’, hacking events, podcasting, vlogging, even a communal kitchen. An on-site engineer can help with video editing and other requests. Like large technology companies, relaxation spaces are available for those needing to re-energize.

CoBiz
is a modern co-working space with naturally-lit worksites, space for filming and recording podcasts, relaxation areas, a kitchen, and with access to a cafe and eatery in the next-door Richmond Food Hall.

Unlike typical coworking spaces, this one will offer professional connections that can be critical to project’s success, said Wesley Alexander, CEO of CoBiz. For local residents aiming to launch their businesses, CoBiz will offer access to personal and economic development resources, not just those offered by CoBiz but also from local nonprofit partners such as the Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center, Richmond Chamber of Commerce and Richmond Main Street Initiative. The concept is to create a rich networking environment that enhances ideas and provides exposure through collaboration.
“This is called coworking with a purpose,” Alexander said. “This is not just occupying a space.” CoBiz is a project of the Chevron Richmond Refinery’s eQuip Richmond initiative, a multi-year $10 million investment that funds strategies to improve communities in Richmond and North Richmond by encouraging small business development, preparing residents for the workforce, and creating pathways to sustainable, living wages and careers in growth industries.

The project is a response to Silicon Valley’s broadening influence in the Bay Area, and aims to position Downtown Richmond to capitalize on its central location, affordability, connections to transit and an influx of housing units.

CoBiz
is located in the groundfloor space of the BART parking garage at 1503 Macdonald Ave. “The vision was to find a way to connect Richmond and the rest of West Contra Costa County to the economic vibrancy of the San Francisco Bay Area,” said Jim Becker, president and CEO of the Richmond Community Foundation, which is the lead agency of the eQuip initiative.

CoBiz was among the community-led ideas proposed at a Shark Tank-style competition at the East Bay Center for the Performing Arts in 2016. The competition challenged community leaders to come up with transformative projects, with winners earning funding from the Chevron eQuip Richmond initiative.

The concept for CoBiz was first pitched by Bret Sweet, who, like MC Hammer, is a hip hop artist and entrepreneur known, in part, for pioneering music sharing online in the 1990s. Sweet is program director of the Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center in Richmond, the nonprofit that helps underserved Bay Area residents launch businesses. He approached Amanda Elliott, the recently departed executive director of the Richmond Main Street Initiative, about the idea of creating a first-of-its kind co-working and incubator space downtown. “I had spent a number of years building out startups for investors at other co-working spaces and incubators in Oakland, and I was disappointed when I saw that entrepreneurial prosperity was not traveling beyond Berkeley and Oakland borders,” Sweet said.

CoBiz will benefit from its swift access to BART, Amtrak, AC Transit, the freeway, bicycle lane access and repair (the Rich City Rides bike shop is located just across the street) and connections to the new Richmond Ferry. It will also benefit from thousands of new housing units planned for Richmond, including a proposed mixed-use development at 12th Street and Macdonald Avenue that could bring nearly 400 residential units.

CoBiz is also seen as a solution for Silicon Valley companies whose employees are increasingly looking to Richmond for affordable housing.
“One of the things we’re hearing from a lot of companies is our employees are moving your way,” Becker said. “That just means their commute is a lot longer. With CoBiz, they now have a state-of-the-art spot where they can work remotely, either full time or a few days per week, allowing them to be more productive and to ultimately enjoy a better quality of life.” With increased foot traffic at 1503 Macdonald Ave., some believe CoBiz will present opportunities for new restaurants, cafes and other shops to open up on Macdonald Avenue.

CoBiz
offers a soundproofed “creative space” for vlogging, podcasting, video editing and more.

Sweet believes the CoBiz model will be “studied in the future.” He likens the concept to the collaboration accomplished during WWII, where Richmond became an epicenter for shipbuilding and innovation – such as the pioneering of the wonder drug, penicillin – through collaboration by local industry, government agencies, education centers and the business community.

A present-day collaboration involving Chevron, the city and local nonprofits aims to usher in a new age of technological innovation.
“Our focus is on delivering economic development in an equitable fashion,” Alexander said. “A lot of people in this community are driven to be part of that goal. They see what’s happening around the Bay. They also see they can be part of something that produces a different narrative.

We want to facilitate those resources in this space and do it in a manner in which everyone can have access.”

CoBiz will be open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for nonmembers, while members can access the building 24/7, Alexander said.

CoBiz is the third core program launched by the Chevron eQuip Richmond Initiative. Other projects include the Construction Resource Center, which works to prepare local residents, contractors and construction companies for future economic development projects in the region, as well as Pogo Park Products, a for-profit social enterprise staffed entirely by Iron Triangle residents that designs and builds parks and park amenities.

Lily Rahnema, community engagement manager for Chevron Richmond, said eQuip aims to improve the quality of life in Richmond and North Richmond by leveraging investments of other community businesses, foundations, institutions and individuals. “From space, to technology, to access to capital, CoBiz will provide top of the line services to a traditionally under resourced part of the Bay Area, nurturing Richmond’s entrepreneurs. Chevron’s ongoing commitment beyond the initial seed funding is to set the foundation for partnerships using CoBiz as a platform, that can build capacity, fill jobs with local hires, and improve conditions for local residents,” Rahnema said.

CoBiz’s coworking space features a kitchen, and is right next door to the Richmond Food Hall that offers Red Bay Coffee and Roux.

Music emanated from the stage, bringing people of all ages to the dance floor: we grooved to old school favorites by GTS Band, we joined the SAMBAFUNK! drumline, and got our Zumba on with Grand Marshal Melvin Willis. We got creative with Stonyfield Organics, had fun with vegetables with Fresh Approach, and made new friends.

We offer huge thanks to our volunteers (36 individuals contributing 131 hours of service!), community partners and vendors (56!), and sponsors without whom these events would not be possible.

Chill with a Cop
Ice Cream Social with Richmond Police Department
A project of our Clean & Safe Committee, Chill with a Cop is an agenda-free and welcoming event designed to strengthen relationships between residents and public safety professionals

over a delicious scoop of ice cream. Chill with a Cop creates opportunities for the community to gather and come together in Downtown Richmond, access crime prevention tools and resources, play chess, take home free books, and more.

Yuletide Cheer in the Iron Triangle
Downtown Holiday Festival

Is one of Richmond Main Street Initiative’s longest running annual events. Beginning in 2012, Richmond Main Street and East Bay Center for the Performing Arts formed a partnership to bring this special event filled with yuletide cheer to the community. Thanks to the help of countless volunteers, we transform the Center’s beautifully remodeled facility—the historic Winters Building, located at 339 11th Street—into a winter wonderland. We invite families from the Iron Triangle and surrounding communities to participate in a unique holiday celebration complete with festive music, “A Richmond Nutcracker” performances, tasty snacks, group caroling, the magical illumination of Macdonald Avenue, and a memorable visit from Santa Claus.
‘Transformative’ CoBiz Richmond opens its
doors
November 1, 2019

CoBiz, the new state-of-the-art co-working space and business incubator that civic leaders are calling ground zero for the revitalization of Downtown Richmond, opened its doors today.

The modern, 9,000-square-foot CoBiz, located in the groundfloor space of the BART parking garage at 1503 Macdonald Ave. – and next to the new Richmond Food Hall – provides small businesses, innovators, nonprofits and freelance creatives in West Contra Costa County with cutting-edge technologies and collaborative spaces in the middle of the downtown’s transit center.

MC Hammer, the East Bay native and multimillion record-selling hip hop artist who has since transformed into a respected technology investor and entrepreneur, is reportedly set to be the first of many high-profile speakers at CoBiz, which aims to be a hub for entrepreneurial and nonprofit exchange. CoBiz features areas for TedX seminars, speaker series’, hacking events, podcasting, vlogging, even a communal kitchen. An on-site engineer can help with video editing and other requests. Like large technology companies, relaxation spaces are available for those needing to re-energize.

CoBiz is a modern co-working space with naturally-lit worksites, space for filming and recording podcasts, relaxation areas, a kitchen, and with access to a cafe and eatery in the next-door Richmond Food Hall.

Unlike typical coworking spaces, this one will offer professional connections that can be critical to project’s success, said Wesley Alexander, CEO of CoBiz. For local residents aiming to launch their businesses, CoBiz will offer access to personal and economic development resources, not just those offered by CoBiz but also from local nonprofit partners such as the Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center, Richmond Chamber of Commerce and Richmond Main Street Initiative. The concept is to create a rich networking environment that enhances ideas and provides exposure through collaboration.
“This is called coworking with a purpose,” Alexander said. “This is not just occupying a space.” CoBiz is a project of the Chevron Richmond Refinery’s eQuip Richmond initiative, a multi-year $10 million investment that funds strategies to improve communities in Richmond and North Richmond by encouraging small business development, preparing residents for the workforce, and creating pathways to sustainable, living wages and careers in growth industries.

The project is a response to Silicon Valley’s broadening influence in the Bay Area, and aims to position Downtown Richmond to capitalize on its central location, affordability, connections to transit and an influx of housing units.

CoBiz is located in the groundfloor space of the BART parking garage at 1503 Macdonald Ave. “The vision was to find a way to connect Richmond and the rest of West Contra Costa County to the economic vibrancy of the San Francisco Bay Area,” said Jim Becker, president and CEO of the Richmond Community Foundation, which is the lead agency of the eQuip initiative.

CoBiz was among the community-led ideas proposed at a Shark Tank-style competition at the East Bay Center for the Performing Arts in 2016. The competition challenged community leaders to come up with transformative projects, with winners earning funding from the Chevron eQuip Richmond initiative.

The concept for CoBiz was first pitched by Bret Sweet, who, like MC Hammer, is a hip hop artist and entrepreneur known, in part, for pioneering music sharing online in the 1990s. Sweet is program director of the Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center in Richmond, the nonprofit that helps underserved Bay Area residents launch businesses. He approached Amanda Elliott, the recently departed executive director of the Richmond Main Street Initiative, about the idea of creating a first-of-its kind co-working and incubator space downtown. “I had spent a number of years building out startups for investors at other co-working spaces and incubators in Oakland, and I was disappointed when I saw that entrepreneurial prosperity was not traveling beyond Berkeley and Oakland borders,” Sweet said.

CoBiz will benefit from its swift access to BART, Amtrak, AC Transit, the freeway, bicycle lane access and repair (the Rich City Rides bike shop is located just across the street) and connections to the new Richmond Ferry. It will also benefit from thousands of new housing units planned for Richmond, including a proposed mixed-use development at 12th Street and Macdonald Avenue that could bring nearly 400 residential units.

CoBiz is also seen as a solution for Silicon Valley companies whose employees are increasingly looking to Richmond for affordable housing.

“One of the things we’re hearing from a lot of companies is our employees are moving your way,” Becker said. “That just means their commute is a lot longer. With CoBiz, they now have a state-of-the-art spot where they can work remotely, either full time or a few days per week, allowing them to be more productive and to ultimately enjoy a better quality of life.” With increased foot traffic at 1503 Macdonald Ave., some believe CoBiz will present opportunities for new restaurants, cafes and other shops to open up on Macdonald Avenue.

CoBiz offers a soundproofed “creative space” for vlogging, podcasting, video editing and more.

Sweet believes the CoBiz model will be “studied in the future.” He likens the concept to the collaboration accomplished during WWII, where Richmond became an epicenter for shipbuilding and innovation – such as the pioneering of the wonder drug, penicillin – through collaboration by local industry, government agencies, education centers and the business community.

A present-day collaboration involving Chevron, the city and local nonprofits aims to usher in a new age of technological innovation.
“Our focus is on delivering economic development in an equitable fashion,” Alexander said. “A lot of people in this community are driven to be part of that goal. They see what’s happening around the Bay. They also see they can be part of something that produces a different narrative.

We want to facilitate those resources in this space and do it in a manner in which everyone can have access.”
CoBiz will be open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for nonmembers, while members can access the building 24/7, Alexander said.

CoBiz is the third core program launched by the Chevron eQuip Richmond Initiative. Other projects include the Construction Resource Center, which works to prepare local residents, contractors and construction companies for future economic development projects in the region,

as well as Pogo Park Products, a for-profit social enterprise staffed entirely by Iron Triangle residents that designs and builds parks and park amenities.

Lily Rahnema, community engagement manager for Chevron Richmond, said eQuip aims to improve the quality of life in Richmond and North Richmond by leveraging investments of other community businesses, foundations, institutions and individuals. “From space, to technology, to access to capital, CoBiz will provide top of the line services to a traditionally under resourced part of the Bay Area, nurturing Richmond’s entrepreneurs. Chevron’s ongoing commitment beyond the initial seed funding is to set the foundation for partnerships using CoBiz as a platform, that can build capacity, fill jobs with local hires, and improve conditions for local residents,” Rahnema said.

CoBiz’s coworking space features a kitchen, and is right next door to the Richmond Food Hall that offers Red Bay Coffee and Roux.

Attachment I: Local Match Calculation, Population Benefit, andPopulation Benefit to Underserved Communities forms
Forms to Determine RequiredLocal Match
Step1 . Choose a definition by which to define the community surrounding the project as underserved. See the section Underserved Communities of these guidelines for more information. If the community surrounding the project is considered underserved based on multiple options, choose the option that best supports the community’s status as underserved. Per Option 5, Tribal Communities require zero local match, and thus none of these calculations.

Record your choice at the top of Table 1, below.

Step 2. Determine the SOD of the community surrounding the project. Perform this calculation using Table 1 below. When calculating SOD, the same definition of underserved community must be used throughout Table 1.

Forms for Calculating Population Benefit (P B) (Overall) and Relative PB (Underserved Community)
Step 1. If your project has no infrastructure work, skip to Step 3.

Step 2. If your project has infrastructure work, complete Tables 1 through 5 below. Information from tables 1 through 3 will be used to calculate the Infrastructure Work PB for both the overall and underserved community in Tables 4 and 5, respectively.

Table 1. Infrastructure Work – Direct PB (Overall and Underserved Community) • On line 1, list the census tract in which the project is located. • On subsequent lines, list all census tracts within a ¼ mile radius of your project.

If your
project is large or long, use a ¼ mile from the outer edges. If your project has multiple locations, list the census tracts for each location. Add more rows on the last page if necessary.
• For each census tract listed, provide the information requested. For columns 4 and 5, consult the CCLGP guidelines on how to define an undeserved community. If you choose “other” as your option, you must submit Attachment J with a justification of you
r methodology.
• Total column 3 and column 5.

Summary of Underserved Community Criteria:

1. Area Median Income < $60,188.00

2. CalEnviroScreen 3.0 Score (not percentile) > 39.34

3. National School Lunch Program (pre-pandmeic data): At least 75% of Students in the project area are eligible for free or reduced price meals (FRPM).

A school must exist within 1/4 mile of the project site.

A.1 PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION

The project is located at the Richmond Transit Hub, a regional multimodal facility that combines BART, AMTRAK/Capitol Corridor, AC Transit Bus Service and Bikeshare as well as access to Taxis, Lyft and Uber and a new on-demand shuttle service.

The City of Richmond will partner with the Richmond Main Street Project (RMSI), Urban Tilth, COBIZ, BART, Amtrak, and AC Transit to transform and activate this area into a safe and attractive neighborhood that can reach its full potential as a regional transportation hub. Improvements will include landscaping, Internet access, wayfinding, lighting and security improvements as well as indoor and outdoor activities such as music, markets and art that activate public spaces and attract people for activities other than just transportation. Comingled responsibilities of multiple public agencies ha ve made both maintenance and improvements historically difficult and therefore substandard, with much falling between the cracks, but a goal of this project is better coordination and cooperation.

The Richmond Intermodal Transportation Station is the only location in the San Francisco Bay Area that combines access to BART, AMTRAK/Capitol Corridor and AC Transit. Bikeshare also available with connections to the Richmond Greenway/Ohlone Greenway and San Francisco Bay Trail. Pre- Covid, there were 8,000 boardings a day, making it the most pedestrian active place in Richmond.

On January 31, 2022, Richmond will launch Richmond Moves, the city’s first on-demand public shuttle service. Richmond Moves will expand access to efficient, equitable, and sustainable transportation in the Richmond community, particularly for neighborhoods that are underserved by other mobility options. This will provide a critical link to Richmond’s ferry terminal, only a mile away.

In the immediate neighborhood is COBIZ, a business incubator, several restaurants, retail stores and TODs, including hundreds of units of affordable housing, East Bay Center for Performing Arts and the Richmond Visitor Center. The location is connected to the Richmond Civic Center six blocks away by the Nevin Avenue Pedestrian Improvement Project. Unfortunately, the area is run down, poorly maintained, unattractive and suffers from both actual crime and a perception that it is unsafe. The purpose of this project is to improve landscaping, lighting, Internet access and wayfinding to make the area safer, more attractive and more usable.

A.2 DEMONSTRATED COMMUNITY NEED

• Goal 1. Reduce the Amount of Waste and Debris: Because of the number of people who pass through the project area (8,000 daily boardings pre-COVID), trash accumulation is constant. Reducing or eliminating the amount of trash is key to making the area more welcoming and attrac tive as well as safer.

Figure 5 - Waste and debris are currently the norm
• Goal 2. Beautify and Improve Public Space: Public landscaping in and around the Transit Plaza is sparse, and what is there is badly neglected. It is gray and drab. Additional trees, flowers and ground cover, properly maintained, is a critical part of this project. Use of drought tolerant native plants is preferred.

Figure 6 - Example of empty tree well

• Goal 3. Improving Public Spaces for Walking and Recreation: Sidewalks in the area are suffering from cracking and uplifts that pose a safety hazard. Street intersection do not comply with best practices for pedestrian safety. The Transit Plaza is covered with chewing gum that has accumulated for years makes it unattractive with an appearance of neglect. Graffiti is rampant. Wayfinding needs to be greatly improved.
•
Figure 7 - Pedestrian improvements are needed to make intersections safer and more accessible

• Goal 4. Advance Equity for Underserved Communities: The project is located in Richmond’s Iron Triangle, the City’s most underserved community with the highest poverty rate. It is largely a community of color and has been designated as an Opportunity Zone. This project will improve business opportunities and create jobs in the community and improve the quality of life for its resident s.

o The Iron Triangle is a historic neighborhood in the center of Richmond. Its one square mile was originally defined by three major railroad lines that formed a triangle around its border, hence

its name. Today, its southern boundary is the Richmond Greenway, a multi-use path that was constructed in the former Atchison-Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad corridor.

o The Neighborhood Has Good Bones: Historic and architecturally notable houses, a well -laid- out street grid with short, walkable blocks, and a major regional transit hub (Richmond is the only Bay Area city with a direct BART-to Amtrak connection). Demographics:
o According to the 2010 US Census, the Iron Triangle neighborhood was 60% Latino, 27% African-American, 5% Asian, 7% other. The Iron Triangle is a historic center for African Americans who came from the South to work in the Richmond shipyards and the recent population trend has been an increase in Latinos, including immigrants from Mexico and Central America

o Economics: Low-income and working poor; 50% of children live in poverty.

o Environment: The Chevron Richmond Refinery, Port of Richmond, Richmond Parkway, railroad lines, and industrial uses contribute to poor air quality, few trees or natural areas.

o Challenges: Unemployment, blight and decay, beleaguered and underfunded schools, little access to healthy foods, persistent health problems including asthma and obesity, high levels of violent crime, dangerous streets, and hopelessness.

A.3 PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT
• This project is consistent with the following General Plan goals and actions:

o Goal ED4: A Revitalized Downtown Promote Downtown and Macdonald Avenue as the heart of Richmond’s cultural and civic life by encouraging a blend of retail, office space and personal service establishments. Contribute to the Downtown’s vitality by providing safe, clean streets with signature urban design elements that announce entry into Central Richmond and higher density housing that is well served by transit. o Policy ED4.2 Safe and Walkable Streets Provide a safe and comfortable walking environment in the Downtown and along Macdonald Avenue. Encourage land uses, design guidelines, landscaping and infrastructure that supports active use of public areas. Higher level of use will contribute to more “eyes-on-the-street” that deters crime and supports economic activity
o Well-Maintained Properties Encourage owners to maintain their property in the Downtown and along the Macdonald Avenue and its surrounding residential neighborhoods. Improving the physical appearance of properties is a critical step towards attracting new residents, employers and visitors to Richmond.
o Arts and Cultural Resources Support arts resources in the Downtown and along Macdonald Avenue. The Richmond Art Center and East Bay Center for Performing Arts are prime assets for enhancing Richmond’s identity and image, and can help attract visitors and community members to Downtown Richmond
o Action ED4.A Macdonald Avenue Economic Revitalization Plan Continue to update and implement the Macdonald Avenue Economic Revitalization Plan. The Plan calls for new development along Macdonald Avenue’s eastern end to concentrate activity around the rebuilt Macdonald Avenue/Interstate 80 Regional Shopping Center by taking advantage of the site’s access to Interstate 80. The central part of Macdonald Avenue is envisioned as a higher-density activity node, focused around the BART/Amtrak station with new multi- family housing and more local-serving retail in a mixed-use format. o Action ED4.B Richmond Main Street Initiative Regularly review and update the Main Street Initiative program. Successful Main Street programs require a pro-active, hands-on approach to working with merchants, improving communications between stakeholders, marketing the neighborhood, leveraging resources for physical improvements and services and building a sense of community among tenants and property owners. As the Macdonald Avenue Economic Revitalization Plan gains momentum and the Civic Center Master Plan is completed, the Main Street Initiative will further extend these revitalization efforts. o Action ED4.C Cultural District Designation Explore the potential for defining focal areas or districts in the Downtown and along Macdonald Avenue as cultural, historic and/ or arts- related activity hubs. Promoting areas of the City where there is a concentration of arts, historic and culture-related activities, sites, installations and/or institutions can provide benefits such as: increasing visibility of revitalization efforts by concentrating energy into catalytic nodes; promoting historic and cultural awareness and preservation; and serving as a marketing tool for increasing cultural tourism, business activity, visitors and residents to Richmond. In the case of arts districts, designating focal areas could also serve as a springboard for enticing people to live and work in the area. Ideally, districts or zones should

be walkable areas that may include galleries; live-work studios; arts-related retail; and entertainment and performance facilities; and/or historic features. o Policy ED1.1 Safe, Well-Maintained Neighborhoods and Public Spaces Reduce crime and violence and maintain safe and clean neighborhoods and public spaces. Poorly maintained and underutilized streets and property can detract from Richmond’s image as a viable place to live and do business. Assertive code enforcement by the City will help ensure that Richmond’s neighborhoods are safe and retain their value. o Policy ED1.2 High Quality Infrastructure and Public Services Provide a range of high quality infrastructure and public services for residents and visitors. Adequate and well-maintained infrastructure such as streets, freeways and utilities are essential for improving the quality of life for residents and attracting businesses to locate in Richmond. Public amenities such as schools, libraries, parks, emergency and public safety services and public transit add to the attractiveness of a community.
o Policy ED2.3 A Range of Retail Opportunities Promote a range of retail options including regional, neighborhood-serving and street-front retail and grocery stores in mixed-use settings. A broad mix of stores offers opportunities for residents to shop locally and for visitors to spend dollars in Richmond, solidifying the City’s sales tax base. o Policy ED2.5 Local Small Businesses Promote and support locally owned and cooperative enterprises and businesses, particularly along major corridors, to maximize economic and community benefits for Richmond residents. Local businesses build equity and stabilize the community.
o Action ED2.B Marketing Campaign Collaborate with community members, businesses and major employers to highlight Richmond’s arts and cultural resources. Target markets should include new residents, recreational visitors, and potential new businesses. The campaign should also advertise development opportunities throughout the City to bring new housing and commercial development to Richmond.

• This project was planned through a series of meetings over three years that incl uded:

o The Richmond Mayor’s Office
o Richmond Public Works
o Richmond Code Enforcement
o Richmond Police Department
o Richmond Main Street Initiative (key link to the community) o BART
o AC Transit

Subject:

Contract Amendment for $15,000 with Get Polygraphed,
Inc. for pre-employment polygraph examiner services.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: $4,000 in funding will come from the approved Police Department’s budget for the remainder of this fiscal year (FY 2021-2022) and the Police Department will budget
accordingly for fiscal years (FY 2022-2023) and (FY2023- 2024), account string 01191021-400201.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:

October 20, 2020

STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:

The Police Department is requesting a contract
amendment for $15,000 for a total contract amount of
$30,000 with Get Polygraphed, Inc. to continue providing pre-employment polygraph services.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

APPROVE a contract amendment for $15,000 with Get
Polygraphed, Inc., for a total contract amount of $30,000, to continue providing pre-employment polygraph
services, for a term of November 1, 2020 to November 1, 2023. Police Department - Louie Tirona (510-621-1802).

AGENDA
REPORT

April 05, 2022
DISCUSSION:

Polygraph examinations are required by the State of California Commission on Police Officer Standards and Training (POST) for all sworn police personnel and communications dispatchers, including police cadets, police rangers, records specialists, and jailers. During the hiring process, every applicant is required to undergo a pre-employment polygraph examination. The polygraph examination is a critical step in the law enforcement hiring process. Being able to hire and quickly on-board a potential candidate is of great importance – delays can lead to candidates accepting positions elsewhere, forcing the Police Department to start its search all over again.

This can be detrimental to a department that is already short-staffed with a growing list of eligible retirements in the upcoming year(s).

The Police Department currently contracts with two different licensed polygraph examination firms, Shannon Layer Polygraph and Get Polygraphed, Inc. The original $15,000 contract with Get Polygraphed, Inc. is low on funds and the Police Department requests a contract amendment of an additional $15,000 for a total contract amount of $30,000. The amendment will allow Get Polygraphed, Inc. to continue providing pre- employment polygraph examination services. The polygraph examiner with Get Polygraphed, Inc. has a proven track record of providing pre-employment polygraph services in a timely and efficient manner that expedites the hiring process.

An allegation or determination that persons other than Contractor are responsible for the claim does not relieve Contractor from its separate and distinct obligation to defend under this Section 15. The obligation to defend extends through final judgment, including exhaustion of any appeals. The defense obligation includes an obligation to provide independent counsel if Contractor asserts that liability is caused in whole, or in part, by the negligence or willful misconduct of an indemnified party.

This Section 15 survives completion of the services or the termination of this Contract.

The provisions of this Section 15 are not limited by, and do not affect, the provisions of this Contract relating to insurance.

After-The-Fact Purchase Authorization Form (as of June 15, 2011) Please attach this form to the requisition
If you previously initiated a transaction that created an after-the-fact supplier invoice, it must be processed via the `After-the-Fact (ATF) Purchase Authorization' Form.

An After-The-Fact purchase occurs when a department makes a purchase before a purchase order number is issued. For example, authorizing a vendor to begin work before the Purchasing Division issues a purchase order.

Similarly, obtaining goods or services on credit and subsequently submitting the invoice to accounts payable is an AFT. All ATFs, regardless of the dollar amount, present problems for the Purchasing Division, Accounts Payable, vendors, and end-users.

In many cases, these transactions:
* Place the City at financial and credit risk and result in higher than necessary cost paid for products and services. * Create unnecessary administrative efforts
* Bypass City encumbrance requirements
* Violate procurement polices and procedures
When an ATF purchase has been identified, the managing supervisor that made the unauthorized purchase shall complete this form.

Please provide detailed statement explaining the circumstances surrounding this ATF purchase.

What corrective steps have taken to avoid repetition of future ATF's? Any corrective action with the responsible managing supervisor?

The county designated backup is Napa Solano SANE/SART, which has a $10k contract in place. Unfortunately, the contract had expended $6k, and two victims had to be diverted to Napa Solano SANE/SART within a few days of each other at $2,400 each, putting us at $10.8k. Due to the quick succession of victims we We are requesting an amendment to the contract with Napa Solano SANE/SART.

Due to the unpredictability of both the hospital and victims involved, no corrective action is in place at this time.

AGENDA
REPORT

April 5, 2022
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

ADOPT a resolution approving Veolia Water to manage
and award contracts for the Ferry Point Lift Sewer Pump Replacement Project at Dornan Dr. and Brickyard Cove
Rd., to Thompson Builders Inc. for pump replacement,
Applied Materials Engineering (special inspection) and
Questa Engineering (Geotech testing), for an amount not to exceed $2,732,742 [project cost of $2,376,297 plus a 15 percent contingency cost of $356,445] – Public Works Department (Joe Leach 510-620-5478/ Mary Phelps 510-
621-1269).

DISCUSSION:

The Ferry Point Lift Sewer Pump Project was posted through the City’s BidsOnLine Public Bidding System on December 21, 2021. Thirteen (13) prospective bidders attended the Mandatory Pre-Bid conference held on January 11, 2022.

On January 27, 2022, six (6) bids were submitted as follows:

Contractor Contractor Bid Amount
IBS USA Inc $1,469,708.00
Thompson Builders Corporation $1,948,000.00
McGuire and Hester $1,995,000.00 Myers & Sons Construction $2,355,000.00 W.R. Forde Associates, Inc $2,418,000.00 Valentine Corporation $2,597,369.00

IBS USA, Inc. failed to fill out the proper bid form, they missed the required 20 line “Bid Items” form. Without the required Bid Item form, it was impossible to make a comparison to determine why their bid was so low or if sufficient costs were included to perform the work in accordance with the Contract Document.

Additionally, the project requires Materials Special Inspection and Geotechnical Services for materials testing and compaction. Proposals were requested from the City pre-qualified list of contractors. Applied Materials Engineering and Questa Engineering Corporation (Richmond, CA) submitted the only two bids.

A panel of City representatives and Veolia staff evaluated the proposals received from Contractors and Technical Service Consultants. Based on this process, the panel selected Thompson Builders Inc. (contractor), Applied Materials Engineering (special reinforced concrete inspections) and Questa Engineering Corporation (materials testing) for the Ferry Point Lift Sewer Pump Replacement Project.
