Appendix A.4. Example PB (Overall) and Relative PB (Underserved Communities) Calculations Performed for a Fictitious Project For demonstration purposes, this appendix performs sample population benefit calculations based on a fictitious project.
Fictitious Project Summary:
The sample project proposes improving the parkland at the Greenside Park in the City of Eureka, CA (M St & 12th St, Eureka, CA 95501) with beautification upgrades and litter abatement. In addition to physical improvements, the project proposes to launch a litter abatement campaign on social media that will reach 1,000 people/week for 52 weeks in total and will host a ribbon cutting and litter abatement event with 200 people invited. I have filled this form out as the applicant for the purposes of showing how this would be accomplished and the results you might see from this.
Example Population Benefit Calculations:
Step 1. If your project has no infrastructure work, skip to Step 3.
Our project has infrastructure, so we continue to Step 2.
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 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 justification of your determination method. • Total column 3 and column 5.

Population Totals (Overall) = 13,960 (Underserved) = 13,690 Why we filled in Table 1 as we did:
• We chose to use option 1 of the 5 options provided in the guidelines to determine if the community around the project is underserved. We looked up the project address in the 2019 American Community Survey 5- Year Estimates (ACS5) and found it is in census tract 5 with a population of 4,450 people and has a median income less than 80% of the State Median Income. This means the census tract qualifies as an underserved community. We logged this information on line 1 accordingly. • We drew a ¼ mile buffer around the project limits and then determined all other census tracts that fell totally or partially within the project site or buffer limits. Using the ACS5, two tracts met this criteria, census tracts 6 43
and 1, and both also qualified as underserved. We completed lines 2 and 3 accordingly.
• Note, you are not limited to one option when making the “underserved” determination. If a tract did not qualify as underserved on the ACS5, we could have also checked another option, such as the Healthy Places Index. If it qualified under one of the options, we could have designated that tract as underserved.
Table 2. Infrastructure Work – Indirect PB
• List all transits routes with at least one transit stop within a ½ mile radius of your project. If you project is large or long, use a ½ mile from the outer edges. Add more rows on the last page if necessary.
• Total all ridership.

Note, because all the tracts within a ¼ mile of the project qualified as underserved, the project’s Infrastructure Work PB (Overall) in Table 7 equals the project’s Infrastructure work PB (underserved community) in Table 8.
Step 3: If your application proposes educational campaigns or events about litter abatement, proper waste disposal, or how to do sanctioned artwork (as opposed to vandalism), use Table 6 to calculate PB of each non-infrastructure activity and total. If your application does not propose these activities, skip to Step 4.
Table 6. Non-Infrastructure Work PB
• Reach = Number of people reached at least once by an educational campaign or eligible event.

Why we filled in Table 6 as we did:
• The project includes 2 non-infrastructure events, a media campaign that will reach 1,000 social media followers (the Activity 1 reach) once a week for 52 weeks (the Activity 1 dose) and a ribbon cutting and trash disposal education event to which 200 people (the Activity 2 reach) will be invited.
The ribbon cutting event is a one-time affair (the Activity 2 dose.) Step 4. Calculate the Project’s Population Benefit (Overall). This score will be graded by the Department on a curve relative to all applications submitted. The number of points the applicant will be awarded for Scoring Component 2, Project Population Benefit, will be granted accordingly. The maximum number of points is 20.

CONTRACTOR shall procure and maintain for the duration of the contract, agreement, or other order for work, services or supplies, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder and the results of that work by the CONTRACTOR, its agents, representatives, or subcontractors. Maintenance of proper insurance coverage is a material element of the contract. Failure to maintain or renew coverage or to provide evidence of renewal may be treated by the City as a material breach of contract.
CONTRACTOR agrees that in the event of loss due to any of the perils for which it has agreed to provide Commercial General Liability insurance, CONTRACTOR shall look solely to its insurance for recovery.
CONTRACTOR hereby grants to CITY, on behalf of any insurer providing Commercial General Liability insurance to either CONTRACTOR or CITY with respect to the services of CONSULTANT herein, a waiver of any right to subrogation which any such insurer of said CONTRACTOR may acquire against the CITY by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance.
Original, signed certificates and original, separate policy endorsements, naming the City as an additional insured for general liability, as well as a waiver of subrogation for Workers’ Compensation insurance, shall be received and approved by the City before any work may begin. However, failure to do so shall not operate as a waiver of these insurance requirements.
City reserves the right to modify or require additional coverages for specific risk exposures depending on scope of CONTRACTORS work.
Minimum coverage is detailed below. The policy limits of coverage shall be made available to the full limits of the policy. The minimum limits stated herein shall not serve to reduce the policy limits of coverage of CONTRACTOR.

2. Insurance Services Office Automobile Liability coverage (ISO Form CA 0001, Code 1, Any Auto)

General Liability
(primary and excess limits
combined)

Subcontractors
CONTRACTOR shall include all subcontractors as insured under its policies or shall furnish to the City for review and approval, separate certificates and endorsements for each subcontractor. All coverage for subcontractors shall be subject to all of the requirements stated herein.
CONTRACTOR agrees to defend and indemnify the City of Richmond for any damage resulting to it from failure of either CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor to take out or maintain the required insurance policies. The fact that insurance is obtained by CONTRACTOR, and/or CONTRACTOR’s subcontractors, will not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of CONTRACTOR, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this contract. Damages recoverable by CITY from CONTRACTOR or any third party will not be limited by the amount of the required insurance coverage.
Verification of Coverage
All original certificates and endorsements shall be received and approved by the City before work may begin.
The City of Richmond reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies including endorsements affecting the coverage at any time.
Original insurance certificates and required policy endorsements shall be mailed or delivered to the Designated Project Manager for the City of Richmond.
Insurance certificates and endorsements may be faxed to the Designated Project Manager. However, Contractor must mail the original certificates and endorsements to Designated Project Manager once faxed.
Continuous Coverage
CONTRACTOR shall maintain the required insurance for the life of the contract. Should the CONTRACTOR cease to have insurance as required during this time, all work by the CONTRACTOR pursuant to this agreement shall cease until insurance acceptable to the City is provided. In the event that CONTRACTOR fails to comply with the City’s insurance requirements, the City may take such action as it deems necessary to protect the City’s interests. Such action may include but is not limited to termination of the contract, withholding of payments, or other actions as the City deems appropriate.
If services or the scope of work extend beyond the expiration dates of the required insurance policies initially approved by the City, CONTRACTOR must provide updated certificates and endorsements indicating that the required coverage, terms and conditions are still in place. Renewal certificates and updated endorsements shall be mailed to the Designated Project Manager.
Cancellation
CONTRACTOR shall ensure that coverage shall not be cancelled, reduced or otherwise materially changed except after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice has been given to the City.
Reporting Requirements
Any failure to comply with reporting or other provisions of the policies including breaches of warranties shall not affect coverage provided to the City, its officers, officials, employees or volunteers.
Consistent with Public Policy
The insuring provisions, insofar as they may be judged to be against public policy shall be void and unenforceable only to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining terms and provisions herein may be consistent with public policy and thus enforceable.

15. Indemnification.
(a) If this Contract is a contract for design professional services subject to California Civil Code Section 2782.8(a) and Contractor is a design professional, as defined in California Civil Code Section 2782.8(b)(2), Contractor shall hold harmless, defend and indemnify the City, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, and expenses including attorneys’ fees arising out of, or pertaining to, or relating to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Contractor, except where caused by the active negligence, sole negligence, or willful misconduct of the City. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall immediately defend and indemnify the City and its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers from and against any and all liabilities, regardless of nature or type, that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Contractor, or its employees, agents, or subcontractors.
Liabilities subject to the duties to defend and indemnify include, without limitation, any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, and judgments; associated investigation and administrative expenses; defense costs, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees; court costs; and costs of alternative dispute resolution. Contractor’s obligation to
General Conditions/EJ/TE 01-19-11 7 of 13
indemnify applies unless it is finally adjudicated that the liability was caused by the sole active negligence or sole willful misconduct of an indemnified party.
(b) If this Contract is not a contract for design professional services subject to California Civil Code Section 2782.8(a) or Contractor is not a design professional as defined in California Civil Code Section 2782.8(b)(2), Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers from any and all claims, suits, or actions of every name, kind and description, brought forth on account of injuries to or death of any person or damage to property arising from or connected with the willful misconduct, negligent acts, errors or omissions, ultra-hazardous activities, activities giving rise to strict liability, or defects in design by Contractor or any person directly or indirectly employed by, or acting as, the agent for Contractor in the performance of this Contract, including the concurrent or successive passive negligence of the City, its officers, agents, employees or volunteers.
(c) It is understood that the duty of Contractor to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code.

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. (d) The review, acceptance or approval of the Contractor’s work or work product by any indemnified party shall not affect, relieve or reduce the Contractor’s indemnification or defense obligations. 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.
(e) Acceptance of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Contract does not relieve Contractor from liability under this Section
15. This Section 15 shall apply whether or not such insurance policies are determined to be applicable to any such damages or claims for damages.

Contractor shall perform all work hereunder in full compliance with applicable local, state and federal safety requirements including but not limited to Occupational Safety and Health Administration requirements, and shall assume sole and complete

17. Insurance. Insurance requirements are set forth in Exhibit F to this Contract. Contractor shall abide by the insurance requirements set forth in said Exhibit F.

Contractor acknowledges that under § 2.60.070 of the Municipal Code ("Living Wage Ordinance"), Contractor shall promptly provide to City documents and information verifying its compliance with the Living Wage Ordinance.

Contractor acknowledges that the City’s Drug Free Workplace Policy, Violence in the Workplace Policy and the Policy Against Workplace Harassment, are available on the City’s website at
http://www.ci.richmond.ca.us/workplacepolicies . Contractor agrees to abide by the terms and conditions of said policies.

Contractor acknowledges that the services which Contractor shall provide under this Contract are unique, personal services which, except as otherwise provided herein, Contractor shall not assign or sublet to any other party without the prior written approval of City, which approval may be withheld in City's sole and absolute discretion. In the event that City, in writing, approves any assignment or subletting of this Contract or the retention of subcontractors by Contractor, Contractor shall provide to City upon request copies of each and every subcontract contract prior to the execution thereof by Contractor and subcontractor.

All signs must contain the following language:
GAVIN NEWSOM, GOVERNOR
Wade Crowfoot, Secretary for Natural Resources
$UPDQGR4XLQWHUR, Director, California Department of Parks and Recreation Use the names of the current officials. The name of the director of the local agency or other governing body may be added.

State Approval
GRANTEE shall submit the proposed number, locations, size, and language of signs for preliminary review. Final payments will not be processed until post completion signage has been approved and installed.
12 Deed Restriction
The Deed Restriction restricts the title to the property, safeguarding the property for purposes consistent with the GRANT for the duration of the CONTRACT PERFORMANCE PERIOD.
If the GRANTEE owns the PROJECT land, a Deed Restriction must be recorded on the title to the property before OGALS will approve any grant payments except an advance into escrow and pre-acquisition costs. A Deed Restriction is not required if the GRANTEE does not own the PROJECT land, such as where the GRANTEE is improving property it has access to under a lease agreement.
Deed Restriction Instructions
Before filing the Deed Restriction, the GRANTEE must own the PROJECT land, and have an encumbered CONTRACT for the GRANT amount.
The PROJECT OFFICER will send the Deed Restriction to the GRANTEE. Do not alter the Deed Restriction. The GRANTEE takes the following steps:
1. Add ownership information to Paragraph I of the Deed Restriction: [formal name of GRANTEE] Insert ownership information as it appears on the deed.
2. Create 3 copies (GRANTEE copy, OGALS copy and recorder’s copy) of the Deed restriction and the required attachments:
Exhibit A: Label this attachment “Exhibit A (Legal Description of Property)” and include a formal legal description of every parcel of property to which grant funds will be used for the development and/or acquisition thereof. This information can be obtained from the grant deed or title policy. (The assessor’s parcel number or a street address is NOT a valid legal description.) and,

16 Three-Bid Process
(For nonprofit GRANTEES only)
1. Nonprofit GRANTEES must attempt to obtain three bids before awarding a contract on a GRANT-funded project for services greater than $5,000 and for construction work greater than $25,000.
x Bid description must include the requirement to comply with §1771.5 of the State Labor Code.
x Bid description must include all required project elements based on the original competitive application - Project Selection Criteria proposal, Grant Scope/Cost Estimate Form, and concept level site plan.
2. Nonprofit GRANTEE provides each bidder (potential contractor) the same written invitation for bid describing the project work to be performed based on “Best value” (determined by price, quality of materials, equipment, and workmanship), and the required project elements based on the original competitive application.
x By signing the GRANT CONTRACT, the nonprofit GRANTEE agreed to meet the specific objectives as described in the competitive Project Selection Criteria proposal.
3. Solicit bids by contacting at least three potential contractors or by invitation for bids advertising, or a combination of both methods.
4. The nonprofit GRANTEE’s Board of Directors evaluates the bids to determine which contractor will provide the best value and will meet project requirements. The evaluation process must ensure no conflict of interest between the contractor and the nonprofit GRANTEE’s Board of Directors. The nonprofit GRANTEE’s Board of Directors need not necessarily accept the lowest bid, but a reasonable justification for the decision must be recorded in writing.
5. The Board of Directors selects a contractor and awards a contract.
6. For audit purposes, the nonprofit GRANTEE keeps records of steps 1 – 5 above.
Waiver of Three-bid Requirement
To request a waiver of the three-bid process requirement, the non-profit GRANTEE must send a written request to the Project Officer assigned to the grant project and explain why a waiver is required.
x The waiver request may include “sole source” factors where only one contractor has the expertise to deliver the work.
x The waiver request may also include “public good” or other required factors that may be based on the Project Selection Criteria proposal in the competitive APPLICATION. For example, the Project Selection Criteria proposal may require the hiring of conservation corps.
17 Fidelity Bond
(For nonprofit GRANTEES only)
Nonprofit GRANTEES must provide a copy of a current fidelity bond policy to their PROJECT OFFICERS before any payment requests can be approved by OGALS.
The premium cost for a fidelity bond is an ELIGIBLE COST.
A fidelity bond provides insurance covering fraudulent acts of GRANTEES’ employees, volunteers, officers, and directors. The nonprofit is the party insured. DPR must be named as a Third Party Loss Payee, i.e., the same as a bank on a car loan or a mortgage company on a home loan. The DPR address is: State of California, Dept. of Parks and Recreation, P.O.
Box 942896, Sacramento, CA 94296-0001, Attn: Office of Grants and Local Services.
Coverage must be equal to or greater than the GRANT amount. If the GRANTEE’S existing coverage is lower than the GRANT amount, the GRANTEE needs to amend the coverage to equal or exceed the GRANT amount. Fidelity bond insurance must be kept current for at least six months after the date of the final GRANT payment.
GRANTEES may obtain the fidelity bond through their general liability carrier, a major casualty insurance carrier, or a bonds specialty company. These sources are listed in the yellow pages or internet. A list of fidelity bond frequently asked questions is available on the OGALS web site at www.parks.ca.gov/grants.
18 Grant Payments
Payments may be requested from OGALS once a PROJECT is approved and the CONTRACT is encumbered. Payment requests are processed through the State Controller’s Office and are mailed to the GRANTEE approximately six to eight weeks from the date OGALS approves the request.
OGALS may withhold payment if the GRANTEE has outstanding issues, such as:
x breach of any other contract with OGALS
x an unresolved audit exception
x an outstanding conversion
x park sites closed or inadequately maintained
x overdue Project Status Reports
x other unmet grant requirements
Payment Rules
1. Payment requests prior to groundbreaking are limited to 25% of the PROJECT amount, unless for acquisition costs.
2. Payments before the final payment may not exceed 80% of the PROJECT amount. 20% of the PROJECT amount is retained for the final REIMBURSEMENT payment. GRANTEES may contact their PROJECT OFFICER to request OGALS consider a reduced retention amount.
3. Group costs together to avoid frequent payment requests. Payment requests greater than $10,000 are encouraged.
4. For PROJECTS where match is required, GRANTEES must show eligible costs equal to 125% of the requested reimbursement amount (see page 19).
These items are required prior to requesting any payment, if applicable:
1. A deed restriction, except for an ADVANCE into escrow.
2. If not already submitted, complete CEQA for construction reimbursement.
3. A sample timesheet prior to incurring any IN-HOUSE EMPLOYEE SERVICES costs.
4. When the bid process is required, provide a summary list of bidders, the recommendation by reviewer of bidders, notice of award, and contract agreement.
These items are required with every payment request, when applicable:
1. A Grant Expenditure Form (see page 22) is required with all reimbursement and final payment requests.
2. If a payment request includes IN-HOUSE EMPLOYEE SERVICES costs, provide a sample timesheet representing how employee staff time was tracked during the period of requested reimbursement.
3. Construction progress photos, including a photo with the construction sign visible on the PROJECT site (page 11), with all construction payment requests.
19 Rural Recreation Tourism Match
(For this grant program ONLY)
Unless the PROJECT has been identified as serving a disadvantaged community, the GRANTEE must include a 20% match (PRC §80090(b)).
Costs incurred to provide match must be eligible costs.
Eligible match sources
x Federal funds
x Local funds
x Private funds
x IN-HOUSE EMPLOYEE SERVICES
x Volunteer labor – must maintain time and attendance records showing actual hours worked (see https://independentsector.org for volunteer hourly wage value) Ineligible match source
x State funds
Match and Eligible Costs
The match is 20% but grantee must show 25% in additional costs if match is required. For example:
Determining the match amount:
PROJECT amount: $125,000
20% match: ($25,000)
GRANT amount: $100,000
Submitting costs for reimbursement
GRANT amount: $100,000
25% in additional costs: $25,000
PROJECT amount: $125,000
In summary, the 20% match calculation is based on the PROJECT amount, not on the GRANT amount.

AGENDA
REPORT
October 18, 2022
DISCUSSION:
Richmond Communities Clean Collaborative consists of beautification and safety projects to enhance local street undercrossings and one overcrossing in the City of Richmond. The locations are Macdonald Avenue, Barrett Avenue, and San Pablo Avenue undercrossings on Highway 80 and Harbor Way overcrossing on Highway 580.
The project will install pedestrian scale lighting to brighten the pedestrian experience and artwork to help enliven the space for the community.
Highway 80 is an eight-lane freeway that transects the City. The width of the structure leaves the sidewalk dark even during daylight hours. The pedestrian experience will be transformed through art and lighting. The artwork will significantly brighten the underpass locations both physically and emotionally by adding color to a drab space. It will also help reduce graffiti by enlivening these spaces and providing less blank canvas for taggers.
On October 30, 2021, City of Richmond staff submitted the proposal for the Richmond Art and Lighting Project. On September 23, 2022, the City was provided the finalized list of the grant award. The project must be complete by June 30, 2024.
City staff is requesting City Council to approve the resolution to accept and appropriate the grant funds and adjust the FY2022-2023 revenues and expenditures by $4,000,000.
