City of Richmond - Insurance Requirements - Type 2:
Professional Services
Type 2 – Page 3 of 3
Revised: September 2011
Claims-Made Policies
If any insurance policy is written on a claims-made form: 1) the retroactive date must be shown, and must be before the date of the contract or the beginning of contract work. 2) Insurance must be maintained and evidence of insurance must be provided for at least five (5) years after completion of the contract of work. 3) If coverage is canceled or non-renewed, and not replaced with another claims-made policy form with a retroactive date prior to the contract effective date, the Contractor must purchase an extended period coverage for a minimum of five (5) years after completion of contract work.
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 Manger. 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.

City of Richmond Planning Division

Richmond, CA 94804
Subject: Proposal Environmental Investigation and Remediation Support Services Terminal One Site
Richmond, California
Dear Ms. Velasco:
We are pleased to present our proposal to assist the City of Richmond (the City) in the successful disposition of the Terminal One parcel located at 1500 Dornan Drive in Richmond, California (the site).
The City has entered into a Land Disposition Agreement with Terminal One Development LLC (Terminal One) that specified Terminal One will be responsible for addressing environmental issues at the site. Terminal One’s environmental consultant is R.T. Hicks Consultants, Ltd of Albuquerque, New Mexico (Hicks). Terminal One has also entered into an agreement with Brickyard Cove Alliance for Responsible Development (BCARD), to provide copies of written documents submitted to the Regional Water Quality Control Board – San Francisco Region (Water Board), the regulatory authority overseeing remedial activities at the site. The site is subject to Water Board Order No. R2-2004-0045 (the Order).
The City asked Amec Foster Wheeler to support efforts by Terminal One and the City to meet the requirements of the Order and any additional requirements that may be requested by the Water Board to amend the Order. Terminal One will maintain primary responsibility for meeting these requirements.
On January 12, 2017, Terminal One, the City and the Water Board met to discuss the path forward to address the Water Board’s comments. At that meeting, the comments provided by the Water Board on Hicks’ January 11, 2017 Work Plan for Investigation of Groundwater were discussed and the Water Board described a proposed roadmap for addressing their comments that included an investigation work plan and subsequent report, as well as an amendment to the Updated Proposed Remedial Action Plan (UPRAP; Geomatrix, 2004), and other requirements.
The Water Board noted that approval of the amendment to the UPRAP requires a 30-day public review period and conducting a public meeting to gather comments from the public.
SCOPE OF WORK
Our primary scope of work will be to review and comment on work and work products that are generated by Hicks. The goal of our work is to facilitate Water Board action regarding the cleanup of the Terminal 1 property, including all required regulatory agreements necessary to facilitate this clean-up. We will provide input based on our knowledge of Water Board policies
3-21-23, CC Mtg.
Ms. Lina Velasco
City of Richmond
January 18, 2017
Amec Foster Wheeler
and procedures, as well as our relationships with Water Board personnel. We will be available to discuss these issues at public meetings that may be held.
We will also provide design services for aspects of remediation and/or mitigation measures if current and future site data show that these measures are warranted. In addition we will work with Terminal One’s development team to provide suggestions or advice on cost-effective solutions to environmental issues.
BUDGET
It is very difficult to estimate the level of effort that will be required for this work. In the short term, we know that we prepared for and attended the Water Board meeting on 12 January, we will review Hicks’ investigation work plan(s), and we will observe a portion of the investigation field activities. Future work may include attendance at public meetings, design and construction oversight of remediation or mitigation systems, and assistance with preparation of the amended UPRAP, as well as review of other documents and attendance at Water Board meetings.
We propose an initial budget of $10,000. We will not exceed the budget without the knowledge and authorization of the City.
We appreciate the opportunity to work with the City on this project. If this scope of services and budget meet your approval, we understand the City will issue a standard contract covering the work. Please feel free to contact Frank Szerdy at (510) 663-4113 should you have any questions

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
3-21-23, CC Mtg.
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.

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.

AGENDA
REPORT
3-21-23, CC Mtg.
March 21, 2023
DISCUSSION:
On April 6, 2021, the City Council approved a third contract amendment with Silver & Wright, LLP increasing the contract amount by $750,000 for a total not to exceed amount of $850,000. Since this amendment was approved, the two main attorneys who advise the City on code enforcement matters and assist with the City’s Health and Safety receivership program have left Silver & Wright and formed a new law firm, Civica Law Group, APC. Since the Community Development Department, in coordination with the City Attorney’s Office, would like to continue using the two key attorneys, Matt Silver and Kellie Shin, City staff is requesting that City Council agree to the proposed legal services agreement with Civica Law Group, APC. All terms of the third contract amendment already approved by City Council on April 6, 2021, will remain the same.
City staff is just requesting authority to enter into a new legal services agreement with Civica Law Group with Matt Silver and Kellie Shin (“Special Counsel”). The LSA also provides for a three percent annual cost of living adjustment to the previous hourly rates.
Receivership Program Background:
In 2018, the City of Richmond launched a Health and Safety Receivership Program.
The program rehabilitates abandoned, substandard, and nuisance properties in Richmond, which pose significant health and safety hazards to the community and public. The Code Enforcement Division, Building and Safety, and Richmond Fire and Police Departments have all worked with the City Attorney’s Office and Special Counsel, Matthew Silver of Civica Law Group. Below are highlights of two of the many successes working with Special Counsel to bring dangerous and substandard properties into full compliance making Richmond a safer place to live and work.
In 2022, the City referred a fourplex residential structure located on Bayview Drive (“Bayview Property”), which had been on the City’s and Richmond Police Department’s (RPD”) radar for over a decade. RPD received hundreds of calls for service and citizen complaints to the Property for various crimes such as noise disturbances, non-stop vehicle and foot traffic (evidencing narcotics sales), illegal occupation of the garage, urination, and illegal dumping of trash and debris on and around the property. The Bayview Property was also known among law enforcement, neighbors, and the community as a drug house where narcotics are kept, sold, given away, stored, and used and a location where known drug users, sellers, and addicts congregate and a known location for probationers. Despite expending substantial resources to obtain compliance from the owner for over a decade, the owner refused and was unable to take any action. Special Counsel was retained to proceed with a court action, but the current owner ultimately decided to market the property. Special Counsel entered into a Compliance Agreement with the new owners who rehabilitated the Bayview Property abating all dangerous and hazardous conditions. The City also recovered its costs and fees ($45,000) from the sale proceeds. RPD has since reported zero calls for service and citizen complaints. This excellent result was obtained without resorting to protracted and contentious litigation thereby saving the City and the owner substantial costs and fees.
3-21-23, CC Mtg.
March 21, 2023
Additionally, Special Counsel also worked with City staff on an abandoned and substandard property located on Barkley Drive (“Barkley Property”), which had been red-tagged due to the significant health and safety hazards. The owners are deceased, and no responsible party or heir stepped forward to take responsibility for the rehabilitation of the property. Again, without litigation, Special Counsel worked with a State agency for the sale of the property to a responsible property owner, who entered into a Compliance Agreement with the City. The Compliance Agreement set forth firm deadlines for the property to be brought into full compliance and the new owners fully reimbursed the City for its total costs and fees (approx. $50,000) expended for its nuisance abatement efforts.
To date, the City has obtained $328,109.75 in cost recovery, including staff time, attorney fees, abatement costs, and administrative fines in connection with the work performed by these attorneys, who are now with Civica Law Group. Special Counsel also assists staff with improving processes and procedures, staying current with changes in State law, and improving accordingly, reducing liability exposure to the City, all of which are vital, but do not have a recoverable cost component.
Given these successes obtained by Special Counsel, the City desires to continue to work with Special Counsel through Civica Law Group, APC.
In addition, Special Counsel is also assisting the City with the continued enforcement efforts of the Richmond Residential Rental Inspection Program, which will help support the City’s general fund from property owner compliance. Special Counsel is also working with City staff on updating and revising the Richmond Municipal Code to ensure compliance with all new State laws and provides legal assistance on various other matters including but not limited to; enforcement of illegal cannabis operations; license revocation; and general legal advice on internal policy and procedures to ensure compliance with all laws, thus helping mitigate City risks and potential liabilities.

10 BILLING PROTOCOLS/GUIDELINES
The City of Richmond (“City”) has adopted the following protocols for billing, budgeting, and planning for projects involving outside counsel. Special Counsel will be required to comply with this protocol. If you have questions concerning it, please contact the City Attorney for clarification. In the event you wish to negotiate changes due to the internal operation of your firm, please raise them in writing as soon as possible. Any changes to this protocol will need prior, written approval from the City Attorney. In the interest of fairness, all Special Counsel is required to comply with this protocol. This protocol is also to be used in conjunction with any new proposal for services.
These protocols and guidelines are instituted to ensure that Special Counsel conveys the information necessary for the City Attorney to manage outside projects and litigation.
Also, because these guidelines are set out in advance, they are designed to minimize any confusion or misunderstanding. Compliance with these guidelines should enhance the attorney-client relationship. If you have any comments or suggestions that could improve this system, please feel free to contact the City Attorney.
I. BILLING FORMAT
Unless otherwise agreed, the following information must be provided in monthly bills:
a. A detailed description of work, in time increments of .1 hour (one tenth of an hour) for and by each and every individual billing services. b. Identification of the lawyer who is in charge of the matter. c. Reasonably detailed disbursement breakdowns with backup documentation of any individual charge exceeding $100.00.
d. Each billing item must be separately stated on a separate line identifying the attorney, the time spent and the exact nature of the service rendered. e. When charges are made for research time, the specific issue being researched and the need for the research should be identified.
f. Each item billed should be coded to a specific litigation budget line item, if applicable.
g. The City Attorney reserves the right to request various levels of detail and specific formats (such as columnar comparisons with established budgets).
3-21-23, CC Mtg.
Exhibit B
11 II. BILLING GUIDELINES
a. All tasks set forth in Special Counsel’s billing documentation shall be specific and detailed. Overly generalized listings of task descriptions such as “review contract” or “prepare for negotiations” are not acceptable. b. Billings under this Agreement shall not be provided in more than six (6) minute increments and shall represent the devotion of a full six minutes before an increment is billed. Under no circumstances shall Special Counsel use “block billing” procedures, wherein a list or series of activities is done each day with only an aggregate amount of time specified. c. Special Counsel shall keep the City advised of the identity and billing rates of those people working on the project account.
d. All time shall be billed within 30 days of performance of the service. e. Counsel shall advise City whenever it anticipates the amount of services necessary to properly execute the task will exceed the amount of the contract.
When accrued billings are equal to eighty percent (80%) of the Payment Limit, written notice shall be given to the City as soon as possible, via e-mail, to the City Attorney’s Office, of this fact. In order to satisfy this notification requirement, Counsel shall monitor its accrued billings on a weekly basis and immediately notify the City Attorney if the eighty percent (80%) threshold is met. Special Counsel acknowledges the fiscal constraints on City funding and therefore Special Counsel assumes risk of non-payment for services rendered in the event the amount of services rendered exceeds the amount of the contract unless prior written authorization is received. Authorization to exceed the amount set forth in Exhibit A may be given only by City Attorney in writing.
f. Only those attorneys approved by the City may bill on the case. g. The City expects the attorney assigned to the case to handle all significant matters in the litigation.

i. No more than two paraprofessionals may bill on a particular case without the prior approval of the City.
3-21-23, CC Mtg.
Exhibit B
12 j. The City has retained Special Counsel for its expertise, and therefore expects not to be billed for introductory or background research. City appreciates when Special Counsel has researched an issue previously and uses that research on present cases or projects. Do not charge the City for work Special Counsel has done and billed another client for in the past. k. Within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date of this Agreement, Special Counsel shall provide any manuals or policies describing Special Counsel’s billing practices.
l. The City does not allow “double billing” of any sort. If Special Counsel is working on another client’s matter, do not bill City for that time. This applies to travel time or any other matter.
m. Training time is not billable. Law clerks may be used only with prior approval.

3-21-23, CC Mtg.
Exhibit D
16 California Joint Powers Risk Management Authority
Mandatory Case Reporting Policy
Pursuant to Section VII (Conditions) of the Memorandum of Coverage, the following rule is applicable to all cases reported to CJPRMA.
The Authority shall be entitled to complete access to the covered party’s claim file, the defense attorney’s complete file, and all investigation material and reports, including all evaluations and information on negotiations. The covered party shall be responsible to report the progress of the litigation and any significant developments at least quarterly to the Authority, and to provide the Authority with simultaneous copies of all correspondence provided to the covered party by its defense attorneys and/or its agents.
In addition, the CJPRMA Board of Directors has adopted the following mandatory case reporting standards:
1) Defense counsel is expected to provide a written analysis of liability and exposure in any reported claim no later than ninety days following receipt of the file from the member agency. CJPRMA understands that the liability picture may develop as discovery is ongoing, but this does not excuse the responsibility of providing an early, objective analysis of the file, subject to later developments. An early analysis not only permits the JPA member to set an accurate reserve level, but also permits the member entity to decide whether to actively litigate the case, try to settle the case, or limit discovery based upon the exposure.
2) The initial status report should provide, at a minimum, a brief synopsis of the facts giving rise to the lawsuit; the status of the pleadings, including any discussions of demurrers or motions to dismiss, or cross-complaints; a summary and analysis of plaintiff’s injuries, damages and exposures in the case; an initial impression of liability; any requests for additional investigation; a brief outline of the discovery planned; and an evaluation of anticipated litigation costs. The report need not be lengthy, and typically might not exceed three to five pages, but must address the issues directly and in a straightforward manner so that the member entity and CJPRMA can set cost and loss reserves as necessary. 3) Defense counsel is responsible to report, in writing, the setting of a trial date, settlement conference date, hearing date on motion for summary judgment or similar dispositive motion in any litigated case, within one week of the date on which a court establishes such date.
4) Defense counsel is responsible to report, in writing, all settlement demands or offers within one week of the time the offer is made or the demand is received.
3-21-23, CC Mtg.
Exhibit D
17 5) Defense counsel is responsible to report, in writing, on the substance of all depositions taken in the case. This need not be a multi-page deposition summary, but must, at a minimum, include a concise report of major events occurring at the deposition, and an evaluation of the effect of the deposition testimony on the case. 6) Finally, no later than sixty days before the date set for trial in any case, defense counsel is responsible to report, in writing, on (1) an assessment of liability in the case, (2) the adverse potential exposure if liability is found, (3) a concise summary of injuries sustained and/or claims, (4) an assessment of any other factors (such as local jury tendencies, appearance of important witnesses, etc.) that may affect the liability analysis or exposure assessment, and (5) an opinion on the settlement value of the case. 7) All status reports from defense counsel must be copied to the CJPRMA Board member whose entity is involved in the claim.
This policy is designed to protect the member entity and CJPRMA, so that they can make informed litigation decisions on reported cases. Past experience has shown that defense counsel retained by the member entities of CJPRMA are high-caliber, hard working attorneys who have done very well for their clients, and CJPRMA is grateful for their efforts. Defense counsel are cautioned, however, that case reporting is given a high priority by CJPRMA and its members, and is a major consideration in evaluating counsel’s performance.

Exhibit E
18 LITIGATION GUIDELINES
The following guidelines should be followed when the scope of work includes representing the City in litigation:
a. The Special Counsel shall consult the City Attorney regarding the component parts of litigation handled so that the City Attorney, in consultation with the City Council, if necessary, can determine whether a particular activity is reasonable in light of its costs and benefits.
b. The City Attorney must approve the identity and number of staff assigned to the litigation, and any changes.
c. All pleadings shall be submitted to the City Attorney for review prior to filing. d. Copies of major work product, pleadings, motions, orders, decisions, research memoranda, reports on significant developments, and quarterly status reports shall be submitted to keep the City Attorney advised of any major developments in the lawsuit.
Such copies shall be provided in electronic format compatible with software in the City Attorney’s office.
e. Generally, the City Attorney will rely upon Special Counsel for guidance on litigation strategy. Nonetheless, prior approval from the City Attorney is necessary for demurrers, motions for summary judgment and discovery motions.
f. City expects that Special Counsel will resolve all discovery disputes without court intervention. If this is impossible due to the conduct of others, please inform the City Attorney immediately. City’s intent is to have discovery be fair and open with the money spent on reviewing relevant items that are discovered, not on discovery battles. g. Provide full descriptions of legal tasks performed. This will help the City Attorney follow case development and understand Firm’s strategy. h. Some types of litigation-related expenses require prior approval by the City Attorney, including, but not limited to, experts and investigators. Expenses over a certain dollar amount always require prior approval. See Section III (Reimbursements) of Exhibit B (Billing Protocols and Guidelines) of this Agreement for a list of those expenses that may be reimbursed.

AGENDA
REPORT
3-21-23, CC Mtg.
March 21, 2023
DISCUSSION:
The State of California Regional Water Quality Control Board (Water Board) issued a letter to the City dated March 16, 2017, with a requirement for a work plan (pursuant to Section 13267 of the California Water Code) to investigate volatile organic compounds (VOCs) pollution and to evaluate related human health and environmental risks at the Richmond Corporation Yard (Site). The Water Board indicated that the Site’s contamination consists of VOCs, including tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE), and the development of this Work Plan is necessary because the VOC contamination may pose risks to human health and the environment.
On January 29, 2016, Remediation Risk Management, Inc (RRM) prepared a report for the site titled Additional Site Assessment Results. Water Board staff subsequently issued its March 16, 2017, letter and opened site cleanup program case #07S0213 related to VOC measurements shown in its January 29, 2016, report. This work plan requirement was in addition to apparent unrelated petroleum hydrocarbons released from the Site’s gasoline, diesel, and kerosene Underground Storage Tanks (USTs).
The Water Board received this VOC work plan by its deadline of May 15, 2017.
The Water Board conditionally approved the work plan on June 9, 2017, and issued a letter on November 9, 2018, requiring the City of Richmond to submit a work plan for confirmatory soil gas sampling. On March 8, 2019, the Water Board issued a letter requiring additional site work to determine if subsurface contamination poses a threat to human health.
RRM has performed continuous critical site environmental assessment and analysis work and uploaded required reports to the Water Board’s GeoTracker site since 2006.
On May 16, 2006, the City Council originally approved an emergency contract with RRM for work based on the Water Board’s letter No. 07-0841 requesting a work plan to determine the extent of soil and groundwater contamination beneath the Corporation Yard. On February 17, 2009, the City Council approved a two-year contract with RRM for investigative work and report submittals required by the Water Board. On May 21, 2013, the City Council approved a three-year contract with RRM for the assessment, monitoring, and reporting of soil and groundwater conditions in and adjacent to the Corporation Yard.
On April 18, 2017, City Council approved a contract with RRM extending three fiscal years through June 30, 2019, and in the total amount of $75,000, for the development of a work plan to investigate VOCs pollution, evaluate related human health and environmental risks at the City of Richmond Corporation Yard, and to continue work on assessment, monitoring, and reporting of soil and groundwater conditions in and adjacent to the City of Richmond’s Corporation Yard, as required by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. On February 20, 2018, the City Council approved an amendment to this contract in the amount of $15,863.04 and to extend the term through June 30, 2019. On November 19, 2019, the City Council approved a new three-year contract in
3-21-23, CC Mtg.
March 21, 2023
the amount of $162,810. Unfortunately, due to an oversight, the contract was not amended in a timely manner resulting in its expiration on June 30, 2022. Work on this project has been performed continuously and City staff is now bringing this contract forward following completion of requested critical work last calendar year.
City staff requests City Council’s approval of a contract with RRM in the amount of $87,532 for the remainder of fiscal year 2022-23 and $47,457 per fiscal year for Fiscal Years 2023-25, for a total contract amount not to exceed $182,446 and with a term through June 30, 2025, to continue work towards a Low Threat Closure of the original petroleum hydrocarbon contamination and to address the current additional requirements by the Water Board to implement the Work Plan and work related to the VOC contamination.

Richmond, CA 94804-1630Re: Scope and Budget for 2022/2023, 2023/2024, 2024/2025Dear Mr. Murray:
This letter, prepared by RRM, Inc. (RRM) presents the scope and budget for the fiscal years 2022/2023, 2023/2024, and 2024/2025.
FISCAL YEAR 2022/2023
The general scope of work for 2022/2023 includes semi-annual groundwater and soil gas monitoring and reporting for five (5) Site groundwater monitoring wells and eight (8) soil gas wells. In addition, RRMproposes to address requirements issued by San Francisco Bay Water Quality Control Board(SFRWQCB) staff letters dated January 12, 2022 and October 8, 2021. Tasks are outlined below.Groundwater Monitoring Pre-Field PreparationRRM will verify sampling and analytical methods for the event, liaison with the lab to obtain proper samplecontainers, calibrate instruments, and begin preparation of the chain of custody. Site and regulatorynotifications and review of the site health and safety plan will also occur.
Depth to Groundwater Measurement
Once groundwater monitoring wells are located and opened, the areas will be cleared for monitoring, a technician will measure depth to separate phase hydrocarbons and groundwater at all wells. Instrumentswill be cleaned via triple rinsed with Alconox® detergent between measurements.
Groundwater Sampling
At each groundwater well, groundwaterwill be purged using a submersible pump or clean disposable bailer and sample using a clean disposable bailer. The sample will be decanted into a proper container,labeled, and stored in cooler with ice for transport. The purge pump will be cleaned via triple rinsing with Alconox® detergent for use at next well. Purged groundwater will be stored on-site in appropriately marked 55-gallon drums for prompt pickup and disposal by a licensed disposal contractor as nonhazardous waste. 2560 SOQUEL AVENUE, SUITE 202 / SANTA CRUZ, CALIFORNIA 95062 / TEL: 831.475.8141 / FAX: 831.475.8249

Scope and Budget for 2022/2023, 2023/2024, 2024/2025
After sampling, work areas will be restored, purge water storage will be secured, and chain of custodydocumentation for the groundwater samples will be completed.
Groundwater Sample Analysis
Samples will be transported to a State-Certified laboratory for analyses by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Method 8260B for the presence of gasoline range total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHg); benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, and xylenes (collectively BTEX); naphthalene; and methyl tertiary butyl ether (MtBE). Groundwater samples from Well MW-2 are also analyzed for kerosene and diesel rangetotal petroleum hydrocarbons using EPA Method 80158/fuel fingerprint. RRM will receive the certifiedanalytical results and review against past data to assess data quality.
Estimated Cost
The estimated cost for two (2) semiannual groundwater monitoring events for each fiscal year is $9,327 per fiscal year.
Soil Gas Monitoring
After pre-field preparation for soil gas monitoring (similar to that for groundwater monitoring), a technician will purge and sample four (4) soil gas wells and four (4) vapor pins. Samples will be contained in 1.4-liter Summa sample canisters and six-liter Summa canisters will be used to purge wells. A clean canistermanifold equipped with a critical orifice, filter, canister vacuum pressure gauge, and a well vacuumpressure gauge will be provided by RRM. RRM will also provide leak detection using a helium-filled shroud that encompasses the canister manifold, canisters, and well.
After sample collection, samples will be labeled in the field and placed in a cooler with chain of custody documentation. Samples will be transported to a State-Certified laboratory for analyses by USEPA Modified Method TO-15 (volatile organic compounds [VOCs]), USEPA Method TO-3 Modified (TPHg), and ASTM Modified D-1946 (fixed gases and helium). RRM will receive the certified analytical results and review against past data to assess data quality.Cost
The estimated cost for two (2) semiannual soil gas monitoring events for each of the fiscal year is $11,920 per fiscal year.
Groundwater and Soil Gas Monitoring Reporting
For each semiannual groundwater and soil gas monitoring event, RRM will prepare a report documentingbackground information, groundwater monitoring methods, results, data reduction, conclusions, and recommendations. Each report will include groundwater elevation and concentration maps, a soil gasconcentration map, tabulated and graphical data summaries, field data sheets, and certified analytical reports. The reports will be uploaded to Geotracker along with electronic data files.
The estimated cost for semiannual groundwater and soil gas monitoring reporting for each fiscal year is $12,098 per year (two [2] reports each fiscal year).proposal 2022.docx

Scope and Budget for 2022/2023, 2023/2024, 2024/2025Respond to SFRWQCB Staff Letters Dated October 8,2021 and January 12,2022 In their letters the SERWQCB requested that the City of Richmond submit two reports, one relating to theunderground storage tank case and one related to the occurrence of tetrachloroethylene (PCE) in soil gasbeneath the Site (also known as Solvent case). The requests have common elements with variations to address either the UST case or the PCE (solvent) case.
For the LIST case, the SFRWQCB indicated the report should include:
• A complete Low Threat Closure Policy (LTCP) evaluation of General Criteria and Media-Specific Criteria.
• An update to the Conceptual Site Model (CSM) by collecting groundwater, soil vapor and soil data.
• Addressing the secondary source.• Sampling methods, analytical methods, groundwater and soil gas isoconcentration maps, and Site maps showing sampling locations.
For the PCE (solvent) case, the report should include:
• An update to the CSM.• A case evaluation in accordance with the 2009 Assessment Tool for Closure of Low-Threat Chlorinated Solvent Sites.
• An analysis for PCE and associated daughter products in indoor and outdoor air samples using detections limits below their applicable ESLs (based on initial data, limit future analyses andSIMS for lower MDLs). • Sampling methods, analytical methods, soil gas isoconcentration maps for PCE and daughter products, and Site maps showing sampling locations.
• Conclusions and recommendations.
At this point, it appears the SFRWQCB's position is that more data is necessary. For example they statethat the City of Richmond should address the secondary source of the petroleum hydrocarbon contamination. Our current position is that the soil excavation during LIST removal, and the ensuing yearsof natural attenuation have addressed the secondary source. The LTCP guidance states:"Secondary source" is defined as petroleum-impacted soil or groundwater located at or immediately beneath the point of release from the primary source. Unless site attributes prevent secondary source removal (e.g. physical or infrastructural constraints exist whose removal or relocation would be technically or economically infeasible), petroleum-release sites are required to undergo secondary source removal to the extent practicable as described herein. "To the extent practicable" means implementing a costeffective corrective action which removes or destroys-in-place the most readily recoverable fraction of source-area mass. It is expected that most secondary mass removal efforts will be completed in one yearor less.

remedial actions shall not be required by regulatory agencies unless (1) necessary to abate a demonstrated threat to human health or (2) the groundwater plume does not meet the definition of low threat as described in this policy.
RRM would argue that we have addressed the secondary source. The SFRWQCB also states: "Updating the conceptual site model by collecting groundwater, soil vapor, and soil data." This infers more field data is necessary to complete the CSM - but how do we know that without completing the CSM and identifying data gaps for closure. The SFRWQCB also infers that more soil gas and indoor air data are necessary - "Analyzing for PCE and associated daughter products in indoor and outdoor air samples using detectionslimits below their applicable ESLs." A statistical approach to data analysis for soil gas data is reasonable (and recommended by the DTSC and EPA) because of the variability of soil gas data.
RRM contacted SFRWQCB staff regarding their requests and proposed combining the two reports into a single report. We explained that we would rather look at the whole site instead of pieces (UST case and PCE case)because they are interlinked with the site and do not act independently, and it's less expensive to provide one report. RRM proposed an alternate report that would:
• Provide an updated CSM that includes iso-concentrations maps of the contaminants of concern in groundwater and soil vapor, and site and sampling location maps. • Provide a LTCP evaluation of General Criteria and Media-Specific Criteria based on the CSM and relevant data.
• Provide a solvent (PCE) case evaluation in accordance with the 2009 Assessment Tool for Closure of Low-Threat Chlorinated Solvent Sites based on the CSM and relevant data. • Identify data gaps in the CSM, LTCP evaluation, and low-threat PCE case evaluation, thereby providing conclusions.
• Provide a work scope to close the data gaps, thereby proposing recommendations.
It is not known what data gaps will be revealed or what the associated recommendations would be, but as we indicate above, it appears the SFRWQCB's position is that more data is necessary. Our review at thistime suggests that soil sampling will be necessary to determine naphthalene concentrations at the Site and close any gaps in the delineation of soil impact, and soil gas sampling may be necessary to close anygaps in the delineation of soil gas impact.
Estimated Cost
To address the SFRWQCB requests, RRM proposes to submit one report as outlined above. RRM discussed the proposed report with SFRWQCB staff, and they agreed to the proposal in lieu of twoseparate reports. The estimated cost to complete and submit the report is $ 14,155.
Regarding the potential for additional soil and soil gas sampling, RRM proposes to install four (4) soil borings and sample soil to determine naphthalene concentrations in soil (necessary for LTCP) and complete delineation of soil impact. For soil gas, RRM proposes installing up to six (6) temporary sample probes and sample soil gas to complete delineation of soil gas impact. The data from any soil and soil proposal 2022.docx

gas sampling would be presented in the semiannual groundwater and soil gas monitoring report. Theestimated cost to complete soil sampling, soil gas sampling and reporting is $25,920.
The report would be submitted during the second half of 2022 and once approved, soil and soil sampling would follow.
General Project Management and Consulting
This includes budgeting, scheduling, liaison with the SFRWQCB and other stakeholders, project maintenance, and general consulting.
The estimated cost for annual project management and consulting is $1,176 per fiscal year.
FISCAL YEARS 2023/2024 AND 2024/2025For fiscal years 2023/2024 and 2024/2025, the proposed scope of work will only include semiannual groundwater monitoring and sampling, semiannual soil gas sampling, semiannual reporting, and general project management and consulting, and the estimated costs for 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 are $47,457per fiscal year.CLOSE The total estimated cost for fiscal year 2022/2023 is $87,532, and the total estimated cost for fiscal years2023/2024 and 2024/2025 is $47,457 per fiscal year.

Inprocessing Sole Source requests for supplies, services and/or equipment, the Purchasing Division adheres to and is governed by the prmciples set forth in City of Richmond Municipal Code Section 2.52.326 Sole Source Procurement.
If you are requesting a particular vendor, brand or product, you must make this fact clear on your Sole Source form.Your request will then be restrictive and non-competitive, and will fall mto a sole source category. If the sole source justification is approved, the requisition can be expedited without the normal bidding requirements.
Such a request should not be made unless you are confident that your request is reasonable and appropriately justified to meet the City's requirements and withstand any possible audit. The City's requirements and the format for submitting such requests are contained herein. Sole Source form must be signed by authorized department representative(s). Thecertification will remain on file for audit purposes.
The following factors DO NOT apply to sole source requests and should not be included in your sole source justification. They will not be considered and only tend to confuse the evaluation process.
1. Personal preference for product or vendor.
2. Cost, vendor performance, and local service (these are generally considered award factors in competitive bidding).
3. Features which exceed the minimum department requirements. 3 I Page

Shields-Reid Park Public Art Opportunities
Request for Qualifications/Proposals (RFQ/RFP)
Application Deadline: November 15, 2022 at 11:59 p.m.
Background: Shields-Reid Art Program Summary
The City of Richmond is now seeking artists to apply for twelve unique public art opportunities for Shields-Reid Park located between Kelsey Street, Cherry Street and Alamo Avenue. In 2020, Community Services staff hosted community workshops to re-envision this important North Richmond neighborhood park. The twelve art locations, types, and themes were determined by the community.
This is part of a larger component of adding features that include a bike pump track and repair station, stage, fitness zone, water pump designed for waterplay, and more. The source of funds for this project is the State of California Department of Parks and Recreation, Office of Grants and Local Services Proposition 68 Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program.
Some of the thematic direction from the community includes celebrating the history and diversity of significant events and people from North Richmond. Some of the types of art the community wants to see includes gateway art, murals, mosaic design, sculptures, and active and functional art with community participation. Some projects may be DESIGN-ONLY by artists and fabricated/installed by other vendors.
Opportunities to participate: as artist who can apply, as panelists who can help select the art and as community who will provide input to artists in the design phase of the project. Artist Semi-finalists could be individuals or teams. Some sites have multiple locations that require continuity between 2 - 4 panels.
Artists could be selected for an art site or be a panelist for the project. An artist cannot be both an artist and a panelist.

North Richmond History Summary
Currently, Shields-Reid Park is a blank canvas. The community sees the canvas as an opportunity to express their history and the cultural diversity of the community. The North Richmond community also has a vast musical history which is not physically celebrated inside of the park. Instead of a generic park, the park should offer a connection to the community.
This project celebrates Richmond’s unique cultural history as a destination on the transcontinental railroad, as a bustling port city, and as a leader in building ships for World War II. North Richmond, during and after the war, was the location of several nightclubs that hosted performances and dancing, including the Savoy Club and Minnie Lou’s. Currently no monuments to the strong history of music in North Richmond exist.
North Richmond has a history of cultural richness, community spirit, and resilience in the midst of racially discriminatory policies and real estate practices that created economic and housing hardship for its residents. The neighborhood received less services, inadequate garbage collection and sewage disposal, less police protection, and unpaved streets – dating back to the late 19th century when North Richmond was a rural community primarily made up of immigrants from Italy, Portugal, Mexico, Japan, and Laos. African American migrants from the South found that the West Coast was no refuge from institutional discrimination, but nonetheless created a vibrant community of their own in North Richmond.
Over the years, descendants of these early community builders have continued to live and work in North Richmond. Today, the neighborhood has diversified, and according to the 2016 US. Census estimate, the population includes 16.4% Black/African American, 64.9% of Hispanic/Latino origin, 4.6% White, and
12.2% Asian.
