DISCUSSION:

Background
The Community Resilience Center (CRC) Round 1 grant is administered by the California Strategic Growth Council (SGC) in partnership with the California Department of Conservation. A total of $5 million will be available for CRC Planning Grants, each ranging from $100,000-$500,000. Planning Grants will fund communities in initial stages of CRC Project development that need funds for plan development, community engagement, coordination, and other future activities necessary to prepare for implementation. The goal of the neighborhood-level Community Resilience Centers is to provide shelter and resources during climate and other emergencies, such as extreme heat events and poor air quality days. SGC will prioritize community-serving locations across the state, such as schools, libraries, community centers, health clinics, and places of worship.

The City currently plans to submit a grant application for both the Recreation Complex on Macdonald Avenue and the Marin Luther King Jr. (MLK Jr.) Community Center. The Recreation Complex has been identified by City staff as needing extensive repairs and updates. Partners have not been identified for the grant application yet as it is still early in the process. In partnership with RCF Connects, Richmond Housing Authority (RHA), and other Nystrom United Revitalization Effort (NURVE) partners, an application would be submitted for the MLK Jr. Community Center. NURVE is a collaborative and comprehensive revitalization effort of the Nystrom neighborhood between the partners RCF Connects, the City of Richmond, Contra Costa County, community residents, Bay Area LISC, West Contra Costa Unified School District, National Park Service, Richmond Housing Authority (RHA), Santa Fe, Coronado, and Iron Triangle neighborhood councils, among other community entities. The NURVE partnership is uniquely positioned to be the anchor organization for this site and has been for the neighborhood over the past 15 plus years. Additionally, the MLK Jr. Community Center has been identified by the community in multiple City planning documents over the past several years as a priority project.

Richmond Resilience Roadmap
On February 18, 2020, the City Council adopted the Richmond Resilience Roadmap (Roadmap), funded by a TCC Planning grant through a partnership with The Trust for Public Land (TPL) and the Richmond Community Foundation focused on developing a community-driven climate resilience strategy for the Iron Triangle, Santa Fe, and Coronado neighborhoods (Project Area). The Roadmap (Attachment 2), which is the result of a larger community outreach and engagement process, identified nine potential projects that can advance the Strategic Growth Council’s sustainable communities objectives, such as improving air quality, improving water quality, reducing GHG emissions, improving transportation, and strengthening community resiliency to the impacts of climate change (Attachment 1). The MLK Jr. Resilience Hub was identified by the community as one of the nine priority projects.

Nystrom United Revitalization Effort (NURVE)
NURVE is a comprehensive revitalization effort birthed to strategically address some of the complex issues that face the Nystrom neighborhood such as physical and economic blight, crime, at-risk youth, unemployment, and poverty. NURVE aims to address these community needs through programs and services, capital improvement projects, and greater community participation to create safe, diverse, and thriving places, where kids walk to quality schools, people of all ages use the parks and community facilities, and a variety of housing options meet the needs of local residents. The Nystrom neighborhood centers around the Nystrom Elementary School and the Martin Luther King Jr. Park.

The neighborhood consists of a five block by four block portion of Richmond that contains the Santa Fe and Coronado neighborhood councils and borders the Iron Triangle.

The goal of NURVE is to rebuild five key community assets that community members identify as critical to achieving a vibrant community: MLK Jr. Park, Maritime Child Development Center, Nystrom Elementary School, Nystrom Village, and MLK Jr.

Community Center. MLK Jr. Park, Maritime Child Development Center and Nystrom Elementary School have been rehabilitated. Nystrom Village is currently in the process of redevelopment. MLK Jr. Community Center is the last project on the list of this 15+ year effort. Through this partnership, NURVE is committed to a comprehensive, longterm approach to community revitalization—one that honors the history of its people and places.

RICHMOND RESILIENCE ROADMAP
Final Report

1. Introduction
The City of Richmond developed the Richmond Resilience Roadmap in collaboration with a consultant team of The Trust for Public Land and PlaceWorks with input from diverse stakeholders such as residents and business owners within the Project Area. The roadmap connects and expands recent efforts, including the City’s Climate Action Plan, the Climate-Smart CitiesTM Initiative, and the Richmond Wellness Trail, with the goal of creating a roadmap of planned projects that support community resilience. The projects, which are intended to be built in the next five to ten years, require additional implementation funding support, from state grants, public-private partnerships, and other sources, to be built.

This Richmond Resilience Roadmap is a deliverable of the TCC Planning Grant, which was awarded to the City of Richmond (Lead Applicant), The Trust for Public Land (co-applicant), and the Richmond Community Foundation (co-applicant) in August 2018. The Roadmap, which is the result of a larger community outreach and engagement process, explores nine potential projects that can advance the Strategic Growth Council’s sustainable communities objectives, such as improving air quality, improving water quality, reducing GHG emissions, improving transportation, and strengthening community resiliency to the impacts of climate change. In addition to producing the Resilience Road Map, the TCC Planning Grant also funded the applicants to complete a portion of the existing conditions studies and schematic design for the Richmond Wellness Trail, which is one of the projects identified in the Road Map.

1.1 The Project Area
The Project Area consists of three neighborhoods within the City of Richmond: Iron Triangle, Santa Fe, and Coronado. As shown in Figure 1, these neighborhoods are generally bounded by the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad to the north and west, Interstate 580 (I-580) to the south, and Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) and Southern Pacific Railroad to the east. The Project Area has an ethnically diverse population with a high percentage of non-English speaking households that are primarily low-income and burdened by housing and transportation costs. This area has been identified as a priority area in the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG’s) 2015 Stronger Housing, Safer Communities study, which looks at vulnerability and resilience of Bay Area communities to flooding and seismic hazards. The Iron Triangle neighborhood, specifically, was also recognized in the 2015 Health in All Policies Report (HiAP Report) as an example of community engagement to build healthy places, such as parks, within the Project Area.1

1.2 Summary of the Richmond Resilience Roadmap
The Richmond Resilience Roadmap is comprised of nine projects that cover the Coronado, Santa Fe, and Iron Triangle neighborhoods. The projects include a range of project types that provide direct benefits of increasing community services and providing job training and education through resilience hubs, increasing mobility and reducing pollution through expansion of active transportation routes and complete streets, reducing long-term energy costs and increasing energy independence through rooftop solar and energy storage installations, and increasing housing security through affordable housing projects. These projects also provide co-benefits, which are indirect positive impacts of projects, such as reducing GHG emissions, improving public health, creating environmental benefits, and generating economic opportunity. Overall, implementation of the Richmond Resilience Roadmap will help improve 241

RICHMOND RESILIENCE ROADMAP
Final Report
Page | 2
public health and environmental health within the Project Area, which can help close the “climate gap” created by historical disproportionate health and economic impacts in the Project Area.

Reduction in GHG Emissions
The nine projects included in the Richmond Resilience Roadmap each contribute to an overall reduction in GHG emissions. Nearly all of the projects include landscaping, streetscaping, or tree planting that would help sequester carbon and store it in the soil, trucks, and stems, reducing the GHG emissions in the Project Area. The increase in vegetation and tree canopy cover would provide shade and reduce the urban heat island effect, which would curb the need to use energy for air conditioning. The corridor projects connect the Iron Triangle, Santa Fe, and Coronado neighborhoods internally and to regional transportation hubs through pedestrian and bicycle improvements, which encourage residents to walk and bike to destinations in the Project Area, which reduces GHG emissions generated from vehicles. The Income-Based Solar and Home Weatherization Project would provide solar PV systems to households in the Project Area, which would provide a source of renewable energy and reduce the need to rely on the larger electrical grid.

Public Health and Environmental Benefits
Implementation of the Richmond Resilience Roadmap will create both public health and environmental benefits in the Project Area. The green infrastructure elements will reduce flooding in the Project Area by collecting and conveying stormwater away from streets and built infrastructure. This also reduces the risk of human health hazards created by mosquitos, rodents, and ticks that tend to live near pooled water.

Additionally, green infrastructure can help clean toxins from the water before it goes into the storm drain system. The vegetation and tree plantings clean the air and provide shade cover that reduces the urban heat island effect. This can reduce heat related illnesses, especially for children, seniors, and others who may be highly susceptible to very high temperatures. The corridor projects will encourage physical activity by creating safer and healthier active transportation routes, creating positive health outcomes in the community. The resilience hub projects will also improve health outcomes by providing residents with refuge centers to use during extreme heat weather, severe air pollution, or other natural disasters.

Economic Opportunity
Construction of the projects on the roadmap will generate economic opportunities within the Project Area. Construction activities will create temporary construction and maintenance positions. The resilience hub projects will also create job training and other educational programs that the entire community could benefit from long term. Development of these projects will include community engagement and partnering with community-based organizations that can help the community be involved throughout all phases of implementation.

The following sections describe the planning process for the Richmond Resilience Roadmap, from defining terms, selecting project criteria, assessing climate vulnerability, evaluating projects, and engaging stakeholders.

1.3 Defining Resilience in the Project Area
Within the City of Richmond, resilience is defined as the ability of Richmond’s residents, infrastructure, response systems, and natural systems to close the “climate gap” and prepare for, absorb, and recover from disruptions caused by climate change. The City of Richmond uses “climate gap” in the City’s Climate Action Plan to describe the disproportionate and unequal health and economic impact that climate change has on people of color and low-income communities.

The Project Area falls within the 85th to 95th percentile of census tracts as measured by the CalEnviroScreen 3.0 tool, meaning that the Project Area ranks in the top 85 to 95 percent among all tracts in California for level of vulnerability to pollution and related effects. When the four census tracts are averaged together, the area is also in the top 82nd percentile for linguistically isolated population, 80th percentile for populations in poverty, and 77th percentile for cost-burdened households. 2 The total
pollution burden within the Project Area, on average, also falls within the 69th percentile of census tracts statewide.
3 The high pollution burden, along with the historical and existing population characteristics, indicates that residents in the Project Area may not have the resources to invest in housing and neighborhood resilience, to create a community that is prepared and ready to withstand social and environmental challenges, and to recover equitably from disasters and disruptions. However, the Resilience Roadmap applied in the Project Area, developed to help the most disadvantaged areas of the City adapt to the effects of climate change, provides a suite of public projects that can increase the resiliency of community members, community facilities and services, businesses, and the neighborhoods to disruptions caused by climate change.

2. Climate Change and Climate Justice
The Project Area is located in an area subject to a disproportionate and unequal health and economic challenges due to climate change hazards and climate justice issues. This section summarizes the climate change hazards and climate justice issues within the community, and then provides an overview of existing adaptation and resilience policies the City currently has to close the “climate gap” and create resilient communities.

2.1 Summary of Climate Change Hazards in the Project Area According to the California Fourth Climate Change Assessment, there is high confidence that temperatures are warming, sea levels are rising, and heavy precipitation events are becoming more intense, and droughts are becoming more frequent throughout the state.4 The Project Area, like other areas of the city, is expected to experience multiple direct impacts including potential sea level rise, flooding, extreme weather events, and extreme heat.

Sea Level Rise
As global temperatures heat up, glaciers and other ice near the north and south poles melt and water expands in oceans. The water flows into the ocean, increasing sea levels across the globe gradually over years or decades. In California, guidance suggests that sea levels will increase in most places by 6 to 10 inches by 2030, 13 to 23 inches by 2050, and 41 to 83 inches by 2100, relative to the average sea levels between 1991 and 2009.5 However, it is possible that sea level may increase faster than these 244

RICHMOND RESILIENCE ROADMAP
Final Report
Page | 5
projections. Eventually, sea levels may increase to a point that permanently floods low-lying areas near the Richmond shoreline, including the southern and western portions of the Project Area.

Rising sea levels also mean that bayshore flooding can become more severe and more frequent within the Project Area. With higher tidal levels during normal conditions, coastal floods such as king tides or storm surges can reach further onto land. A storm that may have a one in ten chance of occurring in a given year, also known as a ten-year storm, can create a temporary increase in sea levels of up to 28 to 30 inches. Therefore, if sea levels rise by 24 inches during normal conditions, a ten-year storm event would create a temporary sea level rise of around 52 inches.6

Both sea level rise and bayshore flooding can threaten buildings, roadways, and infrastructure that may be temporarily or permanently flooded by water. Bayshore flooding, in particular, can damage or destroy buildings in low-lying areas, disrupt transportation routes, and harm essential facilities within the Project Area. The Coronado and Santa Fe neighborhoods are especially vulnerable to sea level rise, as there are several low-lying areas along I-580, Cutting Boulevard, and Harbour Way that could be inundated by sea level rise and coastal storms.

Figure 2 shows the expected depth of sea level rise plus a 5-year storm in the Project Area by 2100, in conditions with a temporary bayshore flooding event.

Flooding
Flooding occurs when there is too much water in inland areas to be held in local water bodies, to be carried away by drains or creeks, or to soak into the soil. Floods can be caused by heavy rainfall, long periods of moderate rainfall, or clogged drains during period of normal rainfall. The water can build up and wash into normally dry areas, causing significant harm to buildings, people, and infrastructure.

Floodwaters can be deep enough to drown people and may move fast enough to carry people or heavy objects (such as cars) away. Floods that develop very quickly are called flash floods and can be especially dangerous because there may be little or no warning. Flooding can also cause water to pool in areas with poor drainage, which can lead to increased populations or animals such as mosquitos, rodents, and ticks, creating a greater risk of diseases carried by these animals, such as Lyme disease, West Nile virus, and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. Although precipitation levels are not projected to change very much within the city or the Project Area, climate change is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of droughts and floods within the region. Within the Project Area, the portion of the Santa Fe neighborhood south of I-580 is located in a 100-year flood zone.7
Extreme Weather Events
Extreme weather includes strong winds, hail, and lightning, and is typically caused by intense storm systems or Diablo wind events. Severe winds, such as the Diablo winds, can damage or destroy buildings, knock over trees, and damage power lines and electrical equipment. Hail can damage buildings and plants (and in extreme cases injure people); and lightening can spark fires, injure people, or cause fatalities.

Strong winds, including the Diablo winds during the spring and fall, are the most common type of severe weather in the region. In some cases, strong winds can reach between 40 and 80 mph and cause trees to fallen and damage power lines.8 Diablo wind events have recently also caused power outages throughout the state, which can make it difficult to carry out daily activities and cause economic hardship.

Extreme Heat
Extreme heat occurs when temperatures rise significantly above normal levels. “Extreme heat” is a relative term, as temperatures of 100 degrees are normal in locations like Palm Springs, but almost unprecedented in San Francisco. In the Project Area, the extreme heat threshold is approximately 90- degree Fahrenheit, which may seem lower than other areas in the region, but higher than usual temperatures can be particularly harmful for a community that is not accustomed to high heat levels.

People living in typically cooler areas, such as the coastal climate zone, may be less acclimatized to heat, less likely to recognize the need to protect themselves from the negative health outcomes from heat, and have few options for cool, air conditioned spaces.9 Extreme heat can harm residents in the Project Area by causing heat-related illnesses, such as heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke, especially in areas that do not have shade structures or trees to reduce the urban heat island effect. Those most vulnerable to extreme heat include outdoor workers, households in poverty, persons without access to air conditioning or a vehicle, linguistically isolated populations, and those with existing chronic health conditions. According to the 2015 report Climate Change Vulnerability in Contra Costa County: A Focus on Heat developed by Contra Costa Health Services, the Project Area includes some of the highest scoring census tracts for heat vulnerability indicators in Contra Costa County.10 Historically, the Project Area has experienced an average of four extreme heat days a year. This number is expected to increase because of climate change. By the middle of the 21st century (2040-2070), the 247

RICHMOND RESILIENCE ROADMAP
Final Report
Page | 8
Project Area is likely to see an average of eight extreme heat days per year. By the end of the century, the Project Area is projected to experience an average of 14 extreme heat days per year.11

2.2 Summary of Climate Justice Issues
According to the California Fourth Climate Change Assessment and Pacific Institute, climate justice is “the concept that no group of people should disproportionately bear the burden of climate impacts or the costs of mitigation and adaptation”.12,13 There are several climate justice issues within the Project Area that have formed a “climate gap” in the community, meaning that residents and businesses within these neighborhoods will be both the first ones impacted by climate change and the least capable of adapting to the resulting impacts.14 The following sections describe the existing climate justice issues within the Project Area.

Race, Limited English Proficiency, and Disparities in
Education
Climate change affects everyone though not all people are impacted equally. People of color and lower-income
populations experience increased exposure and sensitivity to climate hazards and a reduced capacity to adapt. Lowerincome populations and communities of color are often burdened with multiple, overlapping factors that
cumulatively impact their ability to respond to hazards.15 Differences in health outcomes by race and ethnicity,
income, educational attainment, and geographic location continue to occur and are increasing for certain health conditions. Disparities in education and limited English proficiency make it difficult for communities to adapt to climate change because they are less informed about the risks and may not understand, or even receive, instructions during climate-related disasters. Within the Project Area, according to the U.S. Census Bureau approximately 57 percent of the population is Hispanic, and 32 percent of the population is African American. The Project Area, when averaging the four census tracts in the area, is in the 82nd percentile of statewide census tracts for linguistically isolated populations, according to CalEnviroScreen 3.0. It is difficult to isolate race, ethnicity, and disparities in education as a cause for greater climate vulnerability instead of inequities from other socioeconomic factors. However, institutional, structural, and interpersonal racism often lead to an inequitable distribution or lack of resources and increase rates of health disparities that make it harder to adapt to climate change.16 Lack of Access to Financial Resources
A lack of access to financial resources decreases the adaptive capacity of a community, because adaptation and resilience efforts typically require access to a certain level of funding and related resources. CalEnviroScreen 3.0 identifies the Project Area is, on average, in the 80th percentile of statewide census tracts for households in poverty and 77th percentile of census tracts for households paying over 30 percent of their income towards housing costs. There are increased climate justice issues for this community because a lack of financial resources can mean that households may not be able to buy insurance or afford higher-quality housing that makes it easier to withstand or recover from a Climate Vulnerability: the degree to
which a system is exposed to,
susceptible to, and unable to cope
with the adverse effects of climate
change.

Impact: an effect of climate change on
the structure or function of a system.

Adaptive Capacity: the ability of a
system to respond to climate change,
moderate potential damages, take
advantage of opportunities, and cope
with the consequences.

climate-related disaster.17 Such households may also be unable to evacuate nor be able to afford air conditioning during periods of extreme heat, which can lead to devastating health consequences.

An Urbanized Community
The Project Area is located in an urbanized community with few shade structures and abundance of impervious surface that contribute to the heat island effect. The Project Area currently suffers from heat island effects and residents may experience even higher temperatures from climate change, which are project to increase in frequency and severity within the community. Increased temperatures subsequently create a higher demand for electricity, which increases utility costs in a community that already experiences high rates of poverty and air pollution. Due to the close proximity to the San Francisco Bay, many homes may lack air conditioning and residents may not have access to cool locations during heat waves. Additionally, residents in the Project Area may not have access to a vehicle or public transit options to travel to cooling centers within the City to seek relief from the high temperatures.

Figure 3 shows the Cool Priority Areas and Figure 4 shows the Connect Priority Areas designated by the Climate Smart CitiesTM Richmond project, led by the City of Richmond, The Trust for Public Land, and members of the Technical Advisory Team created for the Climate Smart CitiesTM Initiative.

Existing Environmental Justice Issues
One of the primary climate justice issues within the Project Area is the existing environmental and public health problems within the community. As shown in Figure 5, CalEnviroScreen 3.0 identifies the Project Area, on average, as being in the 69th percentile of statewide census tracts for level of pollution burden.

This is primarily due to the close proximity of the Project Area to heavy industrial areas and oil refineries, which cause both air and groundwater pollution to flow into the community. This in turn has caused high rates of asthma and cardiovascular diseases in residents within the community.18 Populations who experience disproportionate impacts from air pollution, water pollution, and contaminated land are less likely to be able to adapt to climate change and may be further exposed to the release of pollutants from climate-related disasters.

2.3 Summary of Existing Adaptation and Resilience Policies The City of Richmond has several policy documents that contain adaptation and resilience goals, policies, and programs to help the community, including the Project Area, adapt to the changing climate. • The primary blueprint for the City, the 2030 General Plan adopted in April 2012, contains resilience strategies in the Energy and Climate Change Element and the Public Safety and Noise Element. These sections provide goals, policies, and actions in the Project Area for climateresilient development, risk management of natural disasters, high levels of fire service, and emergency preparedness. Specific topic areas covered in the Energy and Climate Change Element, related to resiliency, include leadership in managing climate change, community revitalization and economic development, and climate-resilient communities. • The City of Richmond Climate Action Plan, adopted in October 2016, contains sustainability and resilience policies that focus on resilient housing, ground transportation, energy infrastructure, water supply, and wastewater management to help the Project Area adapt to more frequent flooding, sea level rise, coastal storms, extreme heat, and extreme weather events. • The City of Richmond also has an Urban Greening Master Plan, Bicycle Master Plan, and Pedestrian Plan, which indirectly can help increase resilience in the Project Area through reducing the heat island effect, capture and clean stormwater, and connect residents to the rest of the City through safe and healthy active transportation methods. The Pedestrian Plan also includes the Yellow Brick Road Iron Triangle Walkable Neighborhood Plan and the Richmond Wellness Trail, which increase safe active transportation opportunities and add urban greening elements in the Project Area.

The projects chosen as part of the Resilience Roadmap help implement the policies or programs within all of these plans.

3. Creating the Resilience Roadmap

3.1 Choosing the Resilience Projects
The projects selected for inclusion in the Richmond Resilience Roadmap were identified by looking at the existing planned projects within the Project Area and narrowing down the list based on specific criteria.

When this effort began, the City of Richmond provided The Trust for Public Land and PlaceWorks with a list of over 40 projects that support resilience within the Project Area including the following project types: urban greening, access to healthy food options, complete streets and mobility, park improvements, affordable housing, energy efficiency and renewable energy, natural ecosystems, and waste reduction.

This list was then narrowed to 21 projects based on project status, location, available information, and co-benefits. The chosen projects included those that were ready for construction, within the Project Area, had available information to analyze the project’s consistency with TCC Implementation Grant Guidelines, and had several co-benefits to improve public health and environmental health within the Project Area.

The team evaluated these projects based on a set of resilience and sustainability and resilience measures (discussed below). The project team then short-listed ten projects based on the evaluation and narrowed this list to eight projects based on if they aligned with climate adaptation and resilience goals, and Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) Strategies that reduce GHG emissions and achieve public 253

health, environmental, and economic benefits. City staff determined a need for housing projects at different levels of construction readiness in the roadmap to meet the City’s objectives, and therefore added a ninth project to the final list. Figure 6 shows the projects within the Richmond Resilience Roadmap. The nine projects are:

1. Nystrom Village Redevelopment

2. Martin Luther King Jr. Resilience Hub

3. Richmond Wellness Trail

4. Income-Linked Solar and Home Weatherization

5. Urban Greening Master Plan – Street Tree Planting Along Cutting Boulevard and Harbour Way

6. Harbour Way Complete Street Project

7. Richmond Greenway Master Plan

8. Nevin Resilience Hub

9. Hacienda Rehabilitation

3.2 Climate Adaptation and Resiliency
Each of the projects included in the Richmond Resilience Roadmap will increase the resilience of the Project Area, help the community adapt to climate change, and address climate justice issues. Many of the projects include multiple co-benefits and help implement the City’s resilience goals. For example, the Nystrom Village Redevelopment project will not only provide affordable family units but will also provide community services, green infrastructure on-site, and will revitalize a historic site that is important to the community. Other projects, such as the Richmond Wellness Trail, Harbour Way Complete Street, and the Richmond Greenway Master Plan will provide the Project Area with safe pedestrian and bicyclist transportation routes. These projects will also provide green stormwater infrastructure, street trees that will naturally cool the area and reduce the urban heat island effect and improve the overall health and well-being of the residents in the Project Area.

An important component of the Resilience Roadmap is the development of two resilience hubs: The Martin Luther King Jr. Resilience Hub (new construction) and the Nevin Resilience Hub (renovations).

Resilience hubs are neighborhood centers that support residents and offer community services, activities, and opportunities and help to increase community capacity to prepare for, respond to, and recover from climate-related disasters. They provide educational and capacity building resources and reliable, clean electricity year-round. Resilience hubs also provide shelter, food, medical supplies, information, and other supplies and resources in the event of an emergency. Resilience hubs are easily accessible to neighborhood residents, connect to community resources, and can provide up to 72 hours of renewable energy supply. They can be constructed as new facilities, or existing facilities such as libraries or community centers can be retrofitted to act as resilience hubs. 254

3.3 Data Collection and Indicator Tracking
When developing the Richmond Resilience Roadmap project list, the project team collected data on all of the 40+ projects. This data included site plans, conceptual designs, citywide planning documents, and previous grant applications. Based on the availability of project data and construction readiness of the projects, the project team narrowed down the list projects to 21 projects. These projects were then evaluated based on four core objectives of the Climate-Smart CitiesTM Initiative, as shown in Figure 7 below. Appendix A provides an evaluation matrix used to assess each of the 21 projects. Each of the four objectives had a set of questions, developed by PlaceWorks, the Trust for Public Land, and the City of Richmond, to determine whether each of the projects fully met the objective. These questions were:
• Connect
o Transit access and mobility - Does the project make it easier and safer for community members, especially those with limited or no vehicle access, to travel to and from key destinations in a low- or zero-carbon way?
o Health and well-being - Does the project improve connections to places that improve public health and well-being, civic and social engagement, employment, or education? • Cool
o Land conservation and restoration - Does the project protect, restore, or expand natural ecosystems or ecosystem services?
o Reduce Urban Heat Island - Does the project help protect residents from high temperatures and extreme weather events?
o Decarbonized energy and energy efficiency - Does the project reduce energy use, support more renewable and zero net energy and building, or improve energy storage and energy independence?
• Absorb
o Urban greening and green infrastructure - Does the project increase the number of parks or green spaces, street trees, permeable paving, bioswales, or other green infrastructure features?
o Water efficiency - Does the project reduce water use, increase use of captured rainwater or greywater, or promote recycled water use?
• Protect
o Materials management - Does the project reduce the amount of waste generated by the community, increase rates of recycling or composting, or allow waste materials to be reused locally?
o Flood Protection - Does the project include natural elements that help safeguard infrastructure, neighborhoods, and residents from flooding events? o Equitable housing and neighborhood development - Does the project make it easier for current community members to stay in their homes while also improving the quality of existing homes or expanding the supply of locally affordable housing units?

3.4 Community Engagement
The Richmond Resilience Roadmap included community engagement and outreach events throughout the community to provide community members the opportunity to give input and feedback. Community engagement activities included the project Kick-Off Meeting, National Night Out, NURVE meeting, and the Richmond Wellness Trail Fitness Zone Opening.

Project Kick-Off Meeting
The Project kick-off meeting was held on February 12, 2019, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Richmond City Hall. The Trust for Public Land and PlaceWorks met with staff from the City of Richmond to discuss the work plan and timeline for the Richmond Resilience Roadmap. Various City departments attended the meeting and helped identify projects and programs for the Resilience Roadmap. Participants included Lina Velasco (Department of Planning and Building), Tawfic Halaby (Department of Engineering and Public Improvements), Greg Hardesty (Parks and Landscaping Division), LaShonda White (City Manager’s Office), Joanne Le (Water Resource Recovery), Adam Lenz (City Manager’s Office), and Denee Evans (City Manager’s Office, Transportation Services).

National Night Out
National Night Out is an annual event that takes place
nationwide to promote police-community partnerships
and neighborhood camaraderie, with the goal of making
neighborhoods safer and more caring places to live. The City, Trust for Public Land, and PlaceWorks attended the National Night Out Event hosted by the Coronado
Neighborhood Council on August 6, 2019, from 5:00
p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The community closed down a
residential block in the Coronado neighborhood and
made it a block party with a BBQ and other food, a
bounce castle, a band, and other activities. The project team brought poster boards that included a map of the

Appendix B.

Many attendees came up and spoke to the project team
and commented on the board and projects. They were
very interested in the identified projects and were
supportive of the City’s efforts to secure more funding to improve resilience in their neighborhoods. Many people
had heard of some of the projects on the list and the three projects that stood out the most were the Nystrom Village Redevelopment, the Richmond Wellness Trail, and the
Martin Luther King Jr. Resilience Hub.

NURVE Meeting
On October 24, from 2:00 p.m to 3:30 p.m., the City Manager’s Office hosted a NURVE (Nystrom United Revitalization Effort) meeting, and the Resilience Roadmap team had the opportunity to present and get feedback. The NURVE area includes portions of the Santa Fe and Coronado neighborhoods, and is a longstanding group comprised of staff from the City of Richmond, West Contra Costa Unified School District, National Parks Service, and community members that meet quarterly. PlaceWorks presented the nine projects selected for the Resilience Road Map, and asked for feedback. The community members said that Richmond had done a lot of planning around the nine projects, and were excited to hear that the City would be applying for an implementation grant which could potentially make all the planning work a reality. The community and several city officials cautioned that maintenance costs must be considered during the planning and design process, especially for projects such as the Richmond Wellness Trail, given limited City resources.

Richmond Wellness Trail Fitness Zone
Opening
On October 27, 2019, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00
p.m., The Trust for Public Land hosted an
event at Martin Luther King Jr. Park to share
the draft Resilience Roadmap with the
community to receive comments, celebrate
the opening of the Richmond Wellness Trail
Fitness Zone, and get feedback about the
design of Richmond Wellness Trail Phase 1
improvements. Unfortunately, attendance
was not as high as expected, due to nearby
wildfires and an ongoing Public Safety Power
Shutoff. These significant events, however,

only underscore the need for projects like the
Resilience Roadmap to support community
resilience planning.

The project team (The City of Richmond, The
Trust for Public Land, and PlaceWorks) displayed
boards with the Resilience Roadmap, resilience
definitions, and draft list and graphics of
resilience projects on the fence that separates
Marina Way South and Martin Luther King Jr.

Park. Several neighbors walking along Marina
Way South stopped to read the boards and
asked about the projects included in the
roadmap. Neighbors said they were supportive
of this idea of creating resilience hubs and
agreed with the suite of projects. However, they
were skeptical of the City’s ability to finance
these projects alone.

Because the team also had boards about the
Richmond Wellness Trail (which is part of the
Richmond Resilience Roadmap), many neighbors
inquired about that project and seemed excited
that the trail will link the different
neighborhoods and provide connections to
regional transportation. A few people said that
the Richmond Wellness Trail will not help them
because they need to use their cars to get to
work east of Richmond in areas that are not
easily accessible by public transportation. Others were excited to see Nystrom Village redevelopment as a potential project to get funding and said that Richmond really needs high quality housing. Many people also discussed the Public Safety Power Shutoffs and wildfires and were emphatic that resilience planning is one of their top priorities for the City.

4.1 Nystrom Village Redevelopment
Project Description
Nystrom Village Redevelopment is a redevelopment and historic preservation project located in the Coronado Neighborhood and encompasses four city blocks between Florida Avenue to the north, 16th Street to the east, Virginia Avenue to the south, and 13th Street to the west. Currently, the project site contains approximately 100 public-housing units, associated parking, and playgrounds. The first part of the Nystrom Village Redevelopment will be the rehabilitation of five historical buildings, which will be exempt from CEQA. These buildings will be rehabilitated to convey the historical significance of the housing site during World War II. The second part of the Nystrom Village Redevelopment is the development of affordable rental units, senior residential units, and for-sale homes, totaling up to 225 residential units. This phase includes proposed community facilities and street and infrastructure improvements. This phase has a preliminary concept, and the City intends to release a Request for Proposals for a developer and partner in the first few months of 2020.

TCC Program Objective Strategies
The Nystrom Village Redevelopment meets the following TCC Program Objectives:
• Equitable Housing and Neighborhood Development. This project will be required to conform to the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program Guidelines and conform to the Integrated Connectivity Project Area type guidelines to meet this objective. Nystrom Village Redevelopment will include new pedestrian facilities and other potential transportation services to residents and/or community members. The project will connect to the transit services along Cutting Boulevard and 23rd Street. The redevelopment will include pedestrian facilities such as new walkways, streetscape improvements, and street crossings. • Solar Installation and Energy Efficiency. The Nystrom Redevelopment will demolish a portion of the four blocks of housing built during the WWII period to build affordable rental units, senior residential units, and for-sale homes that conform to current building and energy efficiency codes. One of the historic housing sections will be rehabilitated and preserved and converted into a non-profit and museum space. The project will also include streetscaping that will help reduce the urban heat island effect in the neighborhood.
• Water Efficiency. This project will include the replacement of inefficient appliances with highefficiency models, replacement of inefficient fixtures with high-efficiency models, and water efficiency upgrades throughout the new buildings as part of the new development. • Urban Greening and Green Infrastructure. This redevelopment project will plant streetscape and landscape vegetation and trees that will be strategically places to shade the proposed structures, in addition to the surrounding roadways and pedestrian facilities. Due to stormwater and storm drain requirements in the city, the project will be required to install permeable surfaces, green infrastructure, and other low impact development elements to collect and convey stormwater.

These landscaping and permeable elements will provide additional shade on-site and will enhance the community space provided by the rehabilitation of the historic Nystrom Village. 262

GHG Emission Reduction Potential
Many elements of the Nystrom Village Redevelopment can contribute to GHG emission reductions, including energy and water efficiency upgrades, urban greening, green infrastructure, connection to transit services, and pedestrian facilities. The energy and water efficiency elements would reduce the need for electricity use on-site, and therefore will reduce the GHG emissions generated to create the electricity. Urban greening, including trees and other landscaping, will provide shading for paved areas and buildings, which will reduce the need for air conditioning on-site and in the surrounding neighborhood, helping to reduce GHG emissions. Green infrastructure, which includes vegetation and permeable surfaces that collect and convey water, can reduce the electricity needed pump stormwater off of the site. Connection to transit services and the installation of pedestrian facilities encourages residents and the surrounding neighborhood to use public transit or active transportation options, which reduce the number of vehicle miles traveled and GHG emissions generated from vehicles.

Co-Benefits: Improvements to Public Health and Environmental Health The Nystrom Village Redevelopment will improve public and environmental health in the Coronado neighborhood. The streetscaping and landscaping, green infrastructure, and pedestrian pathways will increase the amount of shading and greenery within the neighborhood, which can both clean the air and reduce the heat island effect, helping to reduce asthma and cardiovascular illness rates. The green infrastructure could not only help reduce flooding hazards in the neighborhood but could also filter out harmful chemicals and heavy metals transported by stormwater runoff, to clean the stormwater prior to being discharged into the storm drain system, creating co-benefits for both public health and environmental health. The proposed pedestrian facilities will encourage walking by residents in the new development and surrounding neighborhood, which can improve health outcomes for all ages.

Expanded Economic Opportunities and Shared Prosperity
Development of the project design included community engagement, which considered how this redevelopment project could both generate affordable housing while also considering the historical context of Nystrom Village and the surrounding neighborhood. This project will include affordable housing units that will reduce the chance for displacement within the community and ensure that current residents of the neighborhood will also benefit from the project. The proposed development of this project will also create construction, maintenance, and property management jobs within the neighborhood.

Consistency with Existing Land Use and Transportation Plans • Zoning District: The project site is zoned Medium Density Multi-Family Residential (RM-1), which is intended for single and multi-use family housing types. The maximum density is 26 dwelling units per acres and a minimum density of 10 units per acre, with a maximum of three stories and 263

4.2 Martin Luther King Jr. Resilience Hub
Project Description
The Martin Luther King Jr. Resilience Hub will include the redesign and reconstruction of the MLK community center, which is located north of MLK Park along Harbour Way. The MLK community center will be rebuilt with resilience features to protect the building and provide resources to the
community before, during, and after a natural disaster. The building will be zero net energy with solar energy generation and energy storage systems, and it will have the ability to operate at least 72 hours or longer, if a power outage occurs. In addition to the building, programming of the MLK Resilience Hub will provide the community with the tools to increase resilience. This project will have the ability to provide other essential resources to community members, such as food, ice, charging stations, and basic medical supplies during a natural disaster. This resilience hub will act as a cooling center during extreme heat days or as a clean air centers during days of severe air pollution. The MLK Resilience Hub could also be an education center for the community to learn about hazards, in addition to providing a place to gather, access information, and social support services.

TCC Program Objective Strategies
The MLK Resilience Hub meets the following TCC Program Objectives:
• Solar Installation and Energy Efficiency. The MLK Resilience Hub will install energy efficient components that will meet and exceed the 2019 California Building Energy Standards, in addition to constructing a photovoltaic solar system and energy storage system. • Water Efficiency. This project will include the installation of water fixtures that are more water efficient than the fixtures in the previous community center. The construction of the MLK Resilience Hub will also include extensive water efficiency measures such as installation of low water use landscaping and water-efficient irrigation.
• Health and Well-Being. The MLK Resilience Hub will include food access elements that will improve community well-being, including a community kitchen or community garden.

Zero Net Energy: the actual annual
consumed energy of the building is
less than or equal to the on-site
renewable generated energy.

GHG Emission Reduction Potential
The MLK Resilience Hub project will include the following element that will reduce GHG emissions: energy efficiency, renewable energy sources, and urban greening. The project will install energy efficient fixtures and appliances, in addition to a solar photovoltaic system and battery storage that will reduce the GHG emissions generated by electricity use. The landscaping of the project will provide urban greening that can add shade to the surrounding neighborhood and reduce the urban heat island effect that forces residents to use air conditioning. This project will also provide a place for local community members to gather or escape extreme heat or air pollution, which means they will not have to drive elsewhere to find cooling centers.

Co-Benefits: Improvements to Public Health and Environmental Health The MLK Resilience Hub will improve public health and climate justice issues within the Coronado and Santa Fe neighborhoods. This project will provide a place for community members to seek refuge during extreme heat events, severe air pollution, or other natural disasters. If there are power shutoffs, this resilience hub can provide ice and refrigeration for medicine, or electricity to power essential medical equipment. Programming at this center could include educational programs, sport programs, or community activities that will not only bring community members together but also encourage active lifestyle that can improve health outcomes within the community. Other co-benefits will include the installation of landscaping and green infrastructure as part of the project.

Expanded Economic Opportunities and Shared Prosperity
Development and planning of this project will include community outreach to shape how the resilience hub can best meet the needs of the community. The MLK Resilience Hub could include educational and skill training programs to help residents secure jobs. This project will create construction jobs, in addition to programming positions for the various activities that the MLK Resilience Hub could support.

Consistency with Existing Land Use and Transportation Plans • Zoning District: The MLK Resilience Hub will be located on a parcel zoned Parks and Recreation, which allows parks and recreation facilities, government buildings, cultural facilities, and community gardens, but does not allow emergency shelters or public safety buildings. • General Plan: This project will implement Goal EC6, Climate-Resilient Communities, of the General Plan Energy and Climate Change Element.
• Climate Action Plan: This project will be consistent with Strategy RC6 of the Climate Action Plan, which is to support programs and adaptation responses that protect public health and promote health equity.

4.3 Richmond Wellness Trail
Project Description
The Richmond Wellness Trail is a four-mile trail designed to attract and inspire users to experience and build health and wellness-oriented activity into their daily lives, and function as a multi-benefit green infrastructure corridor with bioswales that slow and capture stormwater and trees that shade buildings and offset greenhouse gases. In addition to the stormwater and GHG-reducing design elements, the trail includes bicycle and pedestrian improvements, activity and rest areas, cultural and natural interpretive features, and interactive elements that support a healthy lifestyle. The Wellness Trail connects the BART and Amtrak station to the new San Francisco Ferry Terminal, while also creating smaller-scale connections to Unity Park, Richmond Greenway, Nystrom Village, Martin Luther King Jr. Park, and Kaiser Field Hospital.

Funding from a TCC Planning Grant supports preparation of technical drawings for Phase 1 of this project, the first 1.1 miles. Phase 1 is on schedule to start construction in December 2020. Appendix C provides additional project information on the Richmond Wellness Trail.

TCC Program Objective Strategies
The Richmond Wellness Trail meets the following TCC Program Objectives:
• Active Transportation. The Richmond Wellness Trail will include the construction of new bike lanes and pedestrian facilities. Project components include a new cycle track, streetscape improvements, and street crossing enhancements.
• Water Efficiency. The landscaping and green infrastructure along the Richmond Wellness Trail will include holistic water efficiency upgrades and native and drought tolerant plant palette where possible.
• Urban Greening and Green Infrastructure. This project will include urban tree planting and green infrastructure elements that will both provide shade in the neighborhood and capture and convey stormwater.
• Health and Well-Being. This project will increase access to parks and green space by the urban greening components of the project, in addition to providing a connection from the Richmond BART station to Unity Park, Richmond Greenway, Nystrom Village, and Martin Luther King Jr.

GHG Emission Reduction Potential
GHG benefits from the Richmond Wellness Trail will be extensive. Phase 1 will add approximately 125 small trees and 15 large trees to the streetscape, which will provide carbon sequestration that will capture carbon dioxide and store it in the soil, reducing overall GHG emissions in the Project Area. A primary goal of the trail is to reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT) by providing people with the opportunity to walk and bike in a safe and interesting environment. VMT will likely continue to decrease as additional segments are built. While the project does not yet have technical drawings for the remaining trail segments trees will likely be planted at similar intervals as Phase 1.

Co-Benefits: Improvements to Public Health and Environmental Health The co-benefits of improving public health and environmental health associated with the Richmond Wellness Trail will be significant. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, trails like the Richmond Wellness Trail can offer significant health benefits, such as weight control, reduce risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and some cancers, strengthen bones and muscles, improve mental health, and help foster community.22 Moreover, according to American Trails, trails like the Richmond Wellness Trail improve public safety and environmental health of the City. 23 Phase 1 will plant
approximately 125 small trees and 15 large trees, install infrastructure to treat 13,000 gallons of stormwater, and decrease VMTs by encouraging people to drive less and instead use non-vehicular modes of transportation such as walking and biking. For the City of Richmond, which faces chronic air quality issues and flooding, the benefits of tree planting and capturing stormwater will have acutely positive impacts in the Santa Fe, Coronado, and Iron Triangle neighborhoods.

Expanded Economic Opportunities and Shared Prosperity
Development of this project included outreach and community engagement during site design.

Construction and maintenance of this project will provide temporary construction jobs and other maintenance positions. This project also connects the Iron Triangle and Coronado neighborhoods to several important centers and promotes active transportation methods within the Project Area.

Consistency with Existing Land Use and Transportation Plans • City of Richmond General Plan: The Richmond Wellness Trail was adopted as an Addendum to the Pedestrian Plan in the City of Richmond General Plan on April 25, 2017 and is therefore consistent with the plan.
• Urban Greening Master Plan: The Richmond Wellness Trail directly implements the Urban Greening Master Plan and will use the Approved Street Tree List and tree planting best practices. • Climate Action Plan: The Richmond Wellness Trail complies with the policies of the Climate Action Plan, as urban greening is a strategy that helps reduce energy use, moderate temperature and urban heat island effect, reduce noise and air pollution, and enhance safety. • Richmond Wellness Trail Vision Plan: This project directly implements the Richmond Wellness Trail Vision Plan, which is part of the Richmond Pedestrian Master Plan. • Parks Master Plan: The Richmond Wellness Trail connects parks and open space within the City and will adhere to the Parks Master Plan design guidelines. 267

4.4 Income-Linked Solar and Home Weatherization
Project Description
Income-Linked Solar and Home Weatherization is an ongoing project that occurs throughout the Project Area. This project continues a partnership with GRID Alternatives to install community-wide solar within the Project Area. The Weatherization Program is available through Contra Costa Energy Programs, which assists low-income residents by testing and replacing gas appliances that are not working properly.

GHG Emission Reduction Potential
This project will indirectly reduce GHG emissions within the Project Area. Planting trees along these roadways will provide additional shade cover to the Project Area, which will reduce the heat island effect.

If the temperatures within the Project Area decrease, then residents are likely to use less electricity to cool their homes during high temperatures, subsequently reducing GHG emissions. Adding trees and vegetation to the Project Area may also encourage residents to walk and bike instead of drive to destinations within the neighborhood. Furthermore, trees act to naturally sequester carbon, removing carbon dioxide from the air and storing it in the soil and in the biomass of the trees.

Co-Benefits: Improvements to Public Health and Environmental Health This project would provide urban greening that will promote both public and environmental health in the Project Area. Tree plantings will not only provide additional tree canopy cover to the neighborhood but can also help clean the air and water. This project will add pervious surfaces to an urbanized area, which will help prevent flooding by capturing water where it falls and filtering out toxins as it percolates through the soil. Additionally, urban greening can encourage residents to walk and bike instead of drive to destinations within the neighborhood, which promotes physical activity. This can increase positive health outcomes for residents in the Project Area.

Expanded Economic Opportunities and Shared Prosperity

RESILIENCE PROJECTS CLIMATE

SMART OBJECTIVES
1 Nystrom Village
Redevelopment
The redevelopment of Nystrom Village encompasses 4 City blocks and will include affordable rental units, senior residential units, and for-sale homes. Other proposed features include community facilities, street and infrastructure improvements, and the rehabilitation of several of the historic buildings for interpretation on-site.
2 Martin Luther
King Jr.

Resilience Hub
The MLK Resilience Hub will include a reconstruction of the MLK community center, with resilience features to protect the building during a natural disaster. The building should be zero net energy with solar and energy storage systems. The MLK Resilience Hub can act as an education center for the community to learn about hazards and help community members better adapt to changing conditions.
3 Richmond
Wellness Trail
The Richmond Wellness Trail is a four-mile trail that is designed to attract and inspire users to experience and build health and wellness-oriented activity into their daily lives. The trail includes bicycle and pedestrian improvements, activity and rest areas, cultural and natural interpretive features, and interactive elements that support a healthy lifestyle. The Wellness Trail connects the BART and Amtrak station to the future San Francisco Ferry Terminal, while also creating smaller-scale connections to the Unity Park, Richmond Greenway, Nystrom Village, MLK Park, and Kaiser Field Hospital.
4 Income-Linked
Solar and Home
Weatherization
GRID Alternatives provides free solar systems to households that own and live in their own home and make less than 80% of area median income. The Weatherization Program is available through Contra Costa County Energy Programs, which assists low-income residents by testing and replacing gas appliances that are not working properly. These programs also offer home energy audits to recommend energy saving measures. 5 Urban Greening
Master Plan
- Street tree
Planting Along
Cutting Blvd and
Harbour Way
The Urban Greening Master Plan designates Cutting Boulevard and Harbour Way as areas for additional street tree planting. Cutting Boulevard has approximately 100 available planting locations and Harbour Way has approximately 120 available planting locations.

The Urban Greening Master Plan will also include bioswales, that help manage stormwater and provide more landscaped areas.
6 Harbour Way
Complete
Street Project
The Harbour Way Complete Street Project would include restriping Harbour Way from 3 lanes to 2 lanes and adding pedestrian-scale lighting in the short-term. Medium term improvements would include raised medians, installing mid-block crossings, curb extensions, reduce lane widths, painting sharrows, and planting medium to large trees in planting strips along the roadways. Long-term improvements include a road diet south of Ohio Avenue. 7 Richmond
Greenway
Master Plan -
Greening and
Last Mile
Greening the Last Mile includes completing the Richmond Greenway Master Plan from I-80 to Carlson Boulevard. This project includes 6 different project areas that have pedestrian and landscape elements such as bioswales, meadows, linear orchard, tree plantings, access improvements, plazas, stormwater management, and access to the Ohlone Greenway and Baxter Creek Gateway.
8 Nevin
Resilience Hub
Nevin Park and Community Center renovations included the revitalization of the park’s sports fields and playgrounds with the help of the community. The community center can act as a resilience hub in the future by providing shelter to community members during disasters, in addition to educational and community programming. As a resilience hub, the community center would be renovated with sustainability features such as low-flow water fixtures, energy efficiency improvements, conversion of the HVAC from natural gas to electric, and installing solar panels to the roof of the building with batteries for energy storage.

BEFORE AFTER
WHAT IS THE RICHMOND RESILIENCE ROADMAP?
A collaborative effort between the City, community partners, and Trust for Public Land to identify, fund, and build public projects within Richmond’s neighborhoods that will continue to increase the resiliency of community members, community facilities and services, businesses, and the neighborhoods to disruptions caused by climate change.

WHY ARE WE DOING THIS PROJECT?
To create a roadmap of planned projects that support
community resilience and require additional implementation funding support from state grants and other sources to be built and achieve multiple community goals. The roadmap connects and expands recent efforts, including the City’s Climate Action Plan and the Climate-Smart CitiesTM Initiative.

The four core objectives of the Climate-Smart CitiesTM Initiative are connecting the community by providing carbon-free
transportation; cooling through creating shady green spaces that reduce the urban heat island effect; absorbing rainfall, reducing flooding, and recharging drinking water supplies; and protecting the vulnerable infrastructure, neighborhoods, and residents from flooding and extreme weather events
through shoreline parks and natural lands.

WHAT IS A COMMUNITY RESILIENCE HUB?
Resilience Hubs are existing neighborhood centers that
support residents and offer community services, activities, and opportunities and help to increase community capacity to prepare for, respond to, and recover from extreme events.

They provide educational and capacity building resources and reliable, clean electricity year-round. Resilience Hubs also provide shelter, food, medical supplies, information, and other supplies in the event of an emergency. Resilience Hubs are easily accessed by neighborhood residents, connect to community resources, and have low carbon footprint.

Concept by Groundworks Office,
Berkeley, Ca.

A second option is shown in which
the island and right turn slip lane
at the southeast corner are retained.

I believe that the intersection
geometry would be better for
pedestrians if an island and slip lane
is used While use of a slip lane is
unconventional at a four-way stop,
it would help mitigate the offset
intersection in this case. In addition,
it would help reduce pedstrian
exposure to northbound vehicles
making right turns onto Ohio
Avenue from Marina Way.

ZONE THREE: ATCHISON VILLAGE, CITY CENTER, SANTA FE, AND CORONADO

NEIGHBORHOODS
Zone Three (Figure 3.4) encompasses several neighborhoods including Atchison Village, City Center, Santa Fe, and Coronado. It is bounded by Macdonald Avenue to the north, South 23rd Street to the east, Interstate 580 to the south, and Garrard Boulevard to the west. Zone Three is primarily a single and multifamily residential area with some public/civic, commercial, and recreational uses.

Zone Three covers approximately 890 acres and supports approximately 2,100 street trees and over 3,200 additional trees with a tree canopy cover of 5.2%. The five most prevalent tree species in this zone include Callery pear (Pyrus calleryana), London planetree (Platanus x acerifola), Chinese elm (Ulmus parvifolia), red maple (Acer rubrum), and sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua). The majority of trees in this zone (approximately 73 %) are less than 12 inches in diameter.

Approximately 2,225 street tree opportunity sites of varying sizes were identified in Zone Three as part of the tree survey. These opportunity sites are concentrated in the City Center, Coronado, and Santa Fe neighborhoods in the western portion of this zone.

Pollution Burden Percentile

POLLUTION BURDEN
DEFINING “RESILIENCE”
» Resilience: The ability of Richmond’s residents, infrastructure, response systems, and natural systems to close the “climate gap” and prepare for, absorb, and recover from disruptions caused by climate change.
» Resilient Community: A community that is prepared and ready to withstand social and environmental challenges and can recover equitably from disasters and disruptions.
(CAP 2016, p.70)
» Climate Gap: The systematic disproportionate and unequal health and economic impact that climate change has on people of color and low-income communities. (CAP 2016, p.19)
WHY IS RESILIENCY IMPORTANT?
» Resiliency ensures that Richmond neighborhoods and community members continue to prepare, respond, and recover from hazards caused by climate change.
» Co-benefits, which are indirect positive impacts of projects, such as improved public health, increased employment, and additional educational opportunities, can occur with increased resiliency.

SUBJECT: Richmond Wellness Trail – Hydraulic Analysis
Our assessment of the hydraulic conditions along the Richmond Wellness Trail are summarized below:

Using the rational method for calculating stormwater discharge during a storm event is an appropriate method for this site. The rational method takes three factors into consideration to calculate stormwater discharge for a specific watershed area:
• A weighted stormwater runoff coefficient (C), based on surface type and grade, • Rainfall intensity (i), based on historical data, and • Surface tributary area (A), based on the site topography.

These factors are multiplied directly by one another to calculated stormwater discharge. Therefore, if one factor is increased by a set amount the resultant will also be increased by that same amount. • The runoff coefficient (C) is assumed to be consistent since the surface material throughout the project consists of asphalt pavement, concrete pavement, roofs and landscaping. We used an average C factor for these types of typical surfaces and neighborhood layouts of 0.7. • The rainfall intensity (i) for the average San Francisco Bay area project of this size was used for this project and is 2.0 in/hr
• The surface area (A) was calculated individually for each zone defined in the analysis below.

We assumed the entire roadway pavement section as well as the private residential lots immediately adjacent to the road together equated to the total tributary area.

For reference a pipe flow capacity table is below which demonstrates the size of pipe required to carry a certain flow. Additionally, a 29foot wide gutter pan running longitudinally down the side of road has the capacity equivalent to a 69inch pipe. Therefore, if the flow of stormwater in the tributary area is greater than the capacity of two 69inch pipes (two since there are two sides of the road), then spill over into the roadway will occur for a typical 109year storm event.

PIPE SIZE AND CAPACITY TABLE:

Pipe slope was set at 1.0% and assumed only flowing about 75% of full capacity.

Pipe Size (inch) 6 12 15 18 24 30 36 48
Flow (cfs) 0.5 3 5.5 9 18 36 50 125

o Connect to storm drain inlet at south end
STORMWATER CONSIDERATIONS:

During the design of a project in the San Francisco Bay Area a consideration for stormwater treatment shall be evaluated and depending on the type of project implemented. A streetscape project along a roadway similar to 16th Street and Marina Way South are perfect examples of projects to receive stormwater treatment measures, such as:
• pervious paving,
• rain gardens,
• subsurface treatment such as silva cells,
• treatment tree planters,
• detention pipes, etc.

Designing systems such as these will improve many aspect related to stormwater issues, such as:
• reduce runoff and flooding,
• enhance stormwater discharge quality, and
• improve infiltration rates
One of the largest and most notable issues to be felt immediately upon installation of these types of measures is decreased flooding. Based on the calculations provided above flooding is a major concern requiring attention through this entire corridor. Due to the size of the tributary areas, any single stormwater treatment measure will not be sufficient. Typically a low impact development (LID) type treatment measure is calculated by taking the total impervious area and multiplying by 4 percent, which is your resultant treatment area size. However, a mechanic type or subsurface type treatment system is specifically designed to take on a set stormwater flow in units of cubic feet per second (cfs).

A combined system using both type methods such as pervious paving within the parking section over an underground treatment & storage system with a subdrain, similar to a silva cell, would be ideal, but not always practical. Rain gardens placed in bulb9outs at the intersections and mid9block to collect, treat and detain stormwater are also appropriate methods. Bulb9outs designed appropriately with a subsurface drainage system may be the least impactful and most maintainable. This would be a reasonable consideration for 16th Street which currently has subsurface drainage system at the intersecting roadways. However, a subsurface drainage system extending the entire length of Marina Way South would prove quite costly, but still is the most appropriate method to relieve flooding. Once the subsurface drainage system is installed, adding the appropriate stormwater treatment measures would exponentially benefit the entire corridor.

SUBJECT: Richmond Wellness Trail – Pavement Assessment
Our assessment of the vehicular roadway pavement conditions along the Richmond Wellness Trail are summarized below using the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) method of analyzing pavement. The pedestrian sidewalk throughout this corridor was reviewed separately and in a more general assessment. A further assessment of the sidewalk may be warranted as the scope of this project is further refined.

The PCI index chart below specifies how the numeric range value given to a section of pavement is related to the actual condition of the pavement and a generic remediation technique.

PCI Range Description of Range Remediation techniques
100:90 Excellent – Newly constructed road no remediation required 90:85 Very Good – very minor cracking Seal coat and crack sealing 85:70 Good : low levels of distress,
cracking throughout
localized digouts required ranging from 4”:6”,
crack sealing
70:60 Fair : significant distress large digouts required with minor grinding/overlay potential
60:25 Poor, deteriorating pavement large areas requiring full replacement with grind/overlay
25:11 Very Poor, major distress Full depth street section required 10:0 Failed, extremely rough pavement Full design and study required ASSESSMENT OF PAVEMENT CONDITION:
16th Street
• Cross slope of shoulders range from 2% to 5% with limited areas exceeding 5% • Most severe pavement distress occurs in roadway shoulder • Macdonald to Bissell Ave: PCI = 80
o Very minor distress, few areas requiring digouts
o Oil stains throughout
• Bissell Ave to Chanslor Ave: PCI = 68
o Most distress is within the shoulders and at the intersections. o Longitudinal cracking extending full length
• Chanslor Ave to Unity Park: PCI = 50
o Alligator cracking throughout
o Longitudinal cracking throughout
o Major distress within shoulder.

SUBJECT: Richmond Wellness Trail – Photometric Analysis Our assessment of the photometric analysis along the Richmond Wellness Trail are summarized below using standards from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA). Specifically focusing on standards for roadway & intersection lighting applications and calculation methods. Field investigations took place on March 7th & May 2nd of 2019.

The table below shows Table 2 from IESNA RP:8:
• Pedestrian conflict is defined as high, medium or low over a one:hour peak night time period:
o high pedestrian conflict will have approximately 100 or more pedestrian,  The trail corridor of this project falls under this category o medium pedestrian conflict will have 11 to 99 pedestrians and  The road corridor of this project falls under this category o low pedestrian conflict will have under 10 pedestrian • Pavement is classified as R1, R2, R3, or R4:
o R1 = Portland:cement concrete
o R2 & R3 = Asphalt, rough textured (typical roadway)
 The corridor of this project falls under this category o R4 = Asphalt, smooth textured
• Road types shown below are defined as Collector and Local. o 16th street we are defining as a Local road
o Greenway Trail was are defining as a Local Road
o Marina Way South we are defining as a Collector road. • ‘Lux’ is lumens per square meter
• ‘FC’ (foot:candles) is lumens per square foot. This is the preferred unit for California.

The below table was abridged to only show road types Collector and Local. 300

2 PHOTOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF EXISTING CONDITIONS:
16th Street: Macdonald Ave to Unity Park
• Curb to curb = approximately 30 feet
• Street lights are on the east side of 16th Street.
• Street lights are spaced approximately 100 to
120 feet with additional light poles at the
intersections
o There is at least one empty section
between each of the blocks.
• The light projected from each street light
illuminates the face of curb on the opposite side
of the street from which the pole is mounted.
• PHOTOMETRIC CALCULATIONS: Macdonald Ave
to Unity Park
o Average foot:candles = 0.75
o Max Foot Candles (FC) = 2.0
o Min Foot Candles = 0.1
o Minimum to Maximum FC Ratio: 0.03
o Maximum to Minimum FC Ratio = 30.99
o Average to Minimum FC Ratio = 11.75
o Maximum to Average FC Ratio = 2.66
• Table summary of photometric calculations comparing existing and preferred IESNA standards IESNA Standard Existing Condition Compliance (Yes or No) FC (average value) 0.7 0.75 Yes
Uniformity Ratio 6.0 11.75 No
• Conclusion: Additional light poles spaced appropriately throughout the entire corridor will increase the minimum FC Ratio and as a result lower the Uniformity Ratio closer to standard IESNA value of 6.0.

Ideally the Uniformity Ratio is within 2.0 of the set IESNA Standard. Furthermore, adding additional light poles will have an adverse effect on the Average FC, but not substantial enough to increase the value so high as to be incompliant.

Greenway Trail at Unity Park:
• Street lights are spaced approximately 115 to 125 feet • PHOTOMETRIC CALCULATIONS: Macdonald Ave to Unity Park o Average foot:candles = 0.95
o Max Foot Candles (FC) = 2.0
o Min Foot Candles = 0.2
o Minimum to Maximum FC Ratio: 0.1
o Maximum to Minimum FC Ratio = 10.0
o Average to Minimum FC Ratio = 4.8
o Maximum to Average FC Ratio = 2.1
• Table summary of photometric calculations comparing existing and preferred IESNA standards IESNA Standard Existing Condition Compliance (Yes or No) FC (average value) 0.9 0.95 Yes
Uniformity Ratio 9.0 4.8 No
• Conclusion: Additional light poles spaced appropriately along the lower portion of the Greenway Trail would help raise the uniformity ratio.

3 • Curb to curb = 55:60 feet
• Street lights are on the east side of Marina Way South • Streets lights are spaced with an average spacing 110 to 150 feet with additional light poles at the intersections
• The light projected from each street light illuminates past the centerline of the road and nearly to the curb on the opposite side from which the pole is mounted. • PHOTOMETRIC CALCULATIONS: Ohio Ave to Hoffman Blvd
o Average foot:candles = 0.43
o Max Foot Candles = 2.9
o Min Foot Candles = 0.0
o Minimum to Maximum FC Ratio: (not calculable)
o Maximum to Minimum FC Ratio = 992.71(high due to no minimum) o Average to Minimum FC Ratio = 145.56 (high due to no minimum) o Maximum to Average FC Ratio = 6.75
• PHOTOMETRICS: Ohio Ave to Florida Ave
This more focused area was chosen since there is a more consistent spacing of light poles throughout this block. Allowing a more concise calculation of the photometric analysis and providing calculations as if all of the Marina Way South corridor had similar light pole spacing. o Average foot:candles = 0.7
o Max Foot Candles = 2.0
o Min Foot Candles = 0.1
o Minimum to Maximum FC Ratio: 0.03
o Maximum to Minimum FC Ratio = 36.66
o Average to Minimum FC Ratio = 12.63
o Maximum to Average FC Ratio = 2.90

July 11, 2023
Developed by the U.S. Department of Energy Building Technologies Office (BTO), Buildings UP aims to build capacity to transform United States buildings rapidly and equitably. The grant opportunity will provide a unique opportunity to equitably transform a wide variety of buildings across diverse geographies. Applicants are eligible to receive up to four-hundred thousand dollars ($400,000) to propose a concept to deliver scalable and replicable upgrades to buildings in historically disadvantaged communities. The application due date is July 18, 2023.

If awarded, the City plans to use the funds to conduct improvements in the City Hall Campus (four-buildings total) to initiate the implementation of the Virtual Power Plant (VPP) program in partnership with MCE. The VPP program will improve energy efficiency within City Hall by upgrading its existing solar system, installing energy monitoring equipment, and improving building envelop, if necessary. Additionally, the City plans to propose the addition of energy storage to ensure that the building is equipped to convert as a resilient hub, thus providing residents with resources and shelter in the event of extreme weather and natural disasters.

The grant and proposed projects listed above will best prepare the City for emergency preparedness as it experiences events due to climate change. A project of this magnitude presents an opportunity that aligns fully with City Council priorities and Richmond’s Climate Action Plan by ensuring that all residents have equitable access to resources essential to the betterment of health and well-being. 317

Subject: R3 Contract Amendment and Solid Waste Franchise Request for Proposals (RFP) partnership with the City of San Pablo.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: The contract amendment will be funded by account string 01362765-400201-2GI01. Additionally, 50 percent of the
costs will be shared with the City of San Pablo.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:

July 19, 2022, May 2, 2023

STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:

The City of Richmond entered into an exclusive Solid
Waste Collection Franchise Agreement (Collection
Agreement) with Richmond Sanitary Service, a
subsidiary of Republic Services, in 1985 and is set to
expire June 30, 2025. City Council directed City staff
members to initiate a competitive solicitation process for the Collection Agreement. The development of the RFP
requires an amendment to R3 Consulting’s contract.

AGENDA
REPORT
318

July 11, 2023
RECOMMENDED ACTION: AUTHORIZE the city manager to negotiate and execute a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the
City of Richmond and the City of San Pablo to develop a joint Request for Proposals (RFP) for a new Solid Waste Collection Agreement with the costs of developing the
proposal divided equally between the two cities; and
APPROVE a first amendment to the contract with R3
Consulting increasing the payment limit in an amount not to exceed $131,450, for a total contract amount not to
exceed $268,185, expanding the scope of services to
facilitate the joint Request for Proposals, and extending the term of the contract to June 30, 2024; and DIRECT
the city attorney to explore mechanisms associated with addressing impacts of hosting the solid waste facilities - Economic Development Department (Shasa
Curl/Nannette Beacham/Samantha Carr 510-620-5407).

DISCUSSION:

The City of Richmond’s solid waste and recycling services are provided by two agreements with Republic Services: Collection Agreement and Post-Collection Agreement. Additionally, the City contracts with Golden Bear Transfer Services, Inc. (operated by Republic Services) for solid waste transfer services. The Golden Bear Transfer Station and the Organics Processing Facility located on top of the closed landfill are located within City limits. The City limits border the West County Integrated Resource Recovery Facility (IRRF) and Household Hazardous Waste Recovery facility.

The Collection and Post-Collection Agreements are set to expire June 30, 2025, and the transfer services agreement is set to expire December 31, 2025. Though these expiration dates are two years away, the process of arranging for ongoing solid waste services generally takes two years or more to ensure time for a transparent comprehensive public process, fulfillment of community priorities and state mandates, delivery of new capital, and smooth transition to successful delivery of programs and services.

On July 19, 2022, the City of Richmond entered into a contract with R3 Consulting Group, Inc. to provide analysis and recommendations regarding the City’s Solid Waste Franchise Agreement (Attachment 1). The contract’s scope of work also includes the review, analysis, and recommendations for the City’s other solid waste-related agreements. On May 2, 2023, the City of Richmond City Council directed City staff members to initiate a competitive solicitation process for their solid waste Collection Agreement. R3 has provided a revised budget and scope of work to implement City Council’s direction (Attachment 2).

On May 15, 2023, the City of San Pablo City Council directed their City staff members to initiate a competitive solicitation process for their solid waste Collection Agreement. 319

July 11, 2023
The City of San Pablo has requested to partner with the City of Richmond on the process and share costs (Attachment 3). Both cities share geographical boundaries, have similar composition of waste streams, and are subject to increased State mandated regulatory requires under Senate Bill (SB) 1383. This partnership would be memorialized in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Richmond and the City of San Pablo. Staff is requesting that Council delegate authority to the City Manager to negotiate and execute the MOU which will include a 50/50 cost sharing arrangement for the services rendered by R3 Consulting for developing a joint RFP.

2. SCOPE OF WORK
City of Richmond | Solid Waste Collection Franchise Agreement 1 Understanding of the City
R3 has a robust understanding of the City of Richmond and its solid waste collection contracting needs, which is based on our prior working relationships with the City as well as our long history of working in the solid waste and recycling industry in West Contra Costa County since the early 2000’s. We understand the City’s needs and desires with respect to evaluating its future contracting options that include addressing community needs, costs and rates, compliance with State laws, and the City’s membership in RecycleMore, the West Contra Costa Integrated Waste Management Authority.

Objectives to Accomplish
» Assess the City’s current solid waste collection franchise agreement and recommend updates based on current industry best practices. » Conduct a thorough financial and feasibility analysis regarding the City’s options. » Solicit community input on the current agreement and future actions. » Advise City staff and the City Council on a recommended course of action for solid waste collection services effective starting July 1, 2025.

Work to be Completed
Via this engagement, R3 will provide the City with expert solid waste consulting services as they relate to evaluation of solid waste contract terms and conditions, programs and services, and resultant costs and rates. R3 will be the City’s key partner and guide throughout the process (pursuant to RFQ Scope of Services Item 1), as the City seeks to facilitate City Council decision regarding whether to continue its solid waste contracting relationship with Richmond Sanitary Service (RSS) or proceed to a competitive procurement process for a new solid waste collection agreement. The specific work to be completed is summarized in the nine task areas outlined below, which correspond to Scope of Services Items 2 - 10 in the City’s RFQ. 1 - Collection Agreement Analysis & Recommendations
Drawing on our rich experience working on solid waste collection agreements throughout California, R3 will prepare a summary of best practices, terms and conditions, programs, and key provisions that should be considered by the City in its amended or new collection agreement. We will also conduct a thorough review of the current Agreement, in order to provide findings and recommendations for an amended or new contract. This may include an analysis of the City’s other solid waste-related agreements.

Task 1 Deliverables
— Project kick-off meeting.
— Summary of best practices, terms and conditions, programs, and key provisions for consideration in an amended or new collection agreement.

DocuSign Envelope ID: DFEFEFD0-4572-44AA-A076-089250818534 328

2. SCOPE OF WORK
2 2 - Community Profile & Metrics
Using resources identified in the City’s RFQ as well as information in reports provided to the City by RSS, R3 will identify, gather, and summarize key information such as numbers of solid waste subscriptions by type, waste streams by type and ton, rates by customer classification, current solid waste service offerings, and demographic information to represent an accurate community profile that will inform the development of findings and recommendations via other tasks.

Task 2 Deliverable
— Solid waste profile and landscape report.
3 - Solid Waste Collection Gap Analysis
Using the resources identified by the City in its RFQ, as well as the outcomes of other tasks, R3 will research, assess, and leverage current plans, policies, City services, and delivery methods to conduct a gap analysis to establish findings and recommendations for the City’s future solid waste collection agreement and other agreements including but not limited to the Golden Bear Transfer Station Agreement. This may also include an analysis of whether or not the City should continue to be a party to the Post-Collection Agreement held by RecycleMore, recommend post-collection rate calculation revisions, or seek other alternatives.

Task 3 Deliverables
— Interviews with City staff members.
— Richmond solid waste gap analysis.
4 - Community Engagement
R3’s sub-consultant partner, Envirolutions, will work in collaboration with the City and R3 to develop and facilitate an inclusive, innovative, and accessible, multilingual community engagement process. This process will include reaching out to the overall Richmond community and stakeholders, and our approach is discussed in more detail below.

Finalize Project Design and Develop Project Materials
Envirolutions will seek input from City staff, local government and key stakeholders regarding the project design to ensure our approach is sound, keys into the desired impacts of the project, and is appropriate for the Richmond community. Outreach materials will be generated to inform the different participant groups regarding the purpose of the project and will be accessible through multilingual announcements.

Promotional materials will be distributed through various methods including print, social media, flyers, and through community listservs and announcement boards.

Design and Conduct Community Survey
With the input and involvement of City staff, Envirolutions will design a short survey to be conducted during community engagement events that will collect easily tabulatable responses that will inform the project and provide the basis for further inquiry.

Questions will primarily be multiple-choice with a few qualitative fill-in-the-blank questions at the end. Ideally the survey will not be longer than 15 questions.

2. SCOPE OF WORK
City of Richmond | Solid Waste Collection Franchise Agreement 3 It will be designed to be distributed digitally, in-person via a tablet or laptop computer, or via printed surveys. The different formats for distribution will help ensure the inclusion of groups that vary in age, access to technology and/or comfort with social media platforms.

The survey will be distributed at the various meetings, town hall gatherings, tabling and workshop activities we host and attend, and survey respondents will include City staff, business associations, community leaders, and civic organizations. The survey will be distributed with care to prevent entities outside of Richmond mistakenly participating, yet feedback from participants will be submitted anonymously to allow participants to speak freely. It will be required that attendees provide proof of residency or that their business is located within Richmond prior to being able to participate.

Present at Community Meetings
Envirolutions will host and/or attend 10 community meetings to further provide opportunities for community engagement. The meetings will be hosted by, or for, civic organizations, faith-based organizations, cultural affinity groups, unions, business groups and/or trade organizations. In addition to explaining the rationale behind the project, they will collect survey responses from participants and have time allocated for asking additional questions and addressing comments and concerns brought by attendees.

Answers will be collected, collated, and included in the final report. In order to provide maximum access, a portion of the community meetings will be held virtually and the rest will be held in-person. The community meetings will be held in multiple languages (English and Spanish) whenever possible.

Conduct Stakeholder Engagement Interviews
Envirolutions will seek to conduct up to 10 individual stakeholder engagement interviews to ensure we are including the perspective of the business community as well as other key stakeholders. Invitees for the interviews will include members of local business associations, property management organizations, homeowner associations, the Chamber of Commerce and other local trade organizations.

In addition to asking the multiple-choice questions included in the survey, Envirolutions will develop, in advance, a series of pre-approved open-ended questions to garner authentic and individual feedback. The interviews will be conducted either in-person or via video conference call. Interview responses will be kept anonymous upon request.

Answers will be analyzed, collated, and included in the final report.

Conduct Community Workshops
Envirolutions will convene three community workshops that will differ from our community meetings in length and content. The community workshops will occur later in the project and will be informed by the findings from the previous community engagement events.

DocuSign Envelope ID: DFEFEFD0-4572-44AA-A076-089250818534 330

2. SCOPE OF WORK
4 Rather than simply soliciting feedback, the Community Workshops will seek to engage civic organizations, faith-based organizations, cultural affinity groups, unions, business groups and trade organizations with the explicit goal of providing solution-oriented constructive feedback for City staff to incorporate into their future decision-making process how they proceed in the future. The community workshops will be longer in format (2-3 hours) and may include in-person translation services.

Envirolutions suggests the City consider providing light refreshments and food, and childcare, if possible, to ensure a greater cross-section of attendees can be present.

Neither R3 nor Envirolutions are positioned to provide those services via this proposal, so provision of light refreshments, food, and childcare is at the City’s discretion and cost. All community workshops will be held in-person.

Produce and Present Community Engagement Report to City staff At the summation of the project, Envirolutions will incorporate findings into a final report and deliver a presentation of this report at a City Council meeting around the end of April 2023. They will synthesize the data points to decipher trends and outcomes and then transform this data into easily digestible charts and graphs to help convey our findings clearly. They will present the data in a manner that is best utilized for City staff based on input at the early stages of the project. Images and testimonials from our community engagement activities will be included. And finally, based on their experience during the project, they will make various recommendations for next steps.

Task 4 Deliverables
— Conduct community survey.
— Design of multilingual community outreach and education materials (English and Spanish).
— Attendance at 10 community meetings.
— 10 stakeholder engagement interviews.
— Plan and organize 3 community workshops including setting-up translation services (for in-person meetings).
— Presentation of draft community engagement report to City staff. — Community engagement report including report of survey findings and most desired services.
5 - Financial Analysis
Via this task, R3 will research and assess current City collection rates and fees, potential renegotiation costs, and costs of developing a new solid waste collection franchise agreement. R3 will conduct a thorough financial analysis to better inform the City staff, City Council, and community members regarding the potential outcomes of both a renegotiation process and a competitive procurement process. This may include a financial analysis of the City’s other solid waste-related agreements.

Task 5 Deliverable
— Richmond solid waste financial analysis.

2. SCOPE OF WORK
City of Richmond | Solid Waste Collection Franchise Agreement 5 6 - Council, Staff, & Community Meetings
Working in partnership with City staff, and subject to the budgetary limitations in this proposal, R3 will attend meetings upon request, including but not limited to City Council meetings, Richmond Coordinating Council meetings, community meetings, and multiple internal meetings with City staff members. Such meetings will be in person when feasible, otherwise, meetings will be virtual. These meetings will be in addition to the meetings outlined in Task 4 and Task 8.

Task 6 Deliverable
— Preparation of meeting materials and presentation of information at meetings. 7 - Negotiation Meetings
As needed, R3 will attend negotiation meetings and support the City with potential rate adjustment negotiations with RSS in order to develop findings and recommendations with respect to renegotiating the agreement with RSS or proceeding to competitive procurement. R3 will attend negotiation meetings as necessary to negotiate and communicate with the City, RSS and other relevant stakeholders (such as RecycleMore), and to provide any necessary support to City staff during these negotiations.

This task assumes that City staff and R3 will have the authority to proceed with solesource negotiations with RSS, which may require early Council direction to conduct such negotiations. It is generally desirable to conduct sole source negotiations prior to proceeding with a competitive RFP, and the timeline for this project allows for both.

Task 7 Deliverable
— City Council staff report and presentation regarding sole-source negotiation (dependent on gap analysis findings).
8 - Progress Update Presentations
R3 will provide and present updates to the City Council approximately every six months regarding progress and key decision points throughout the project. As needed, and subject to the budgetary limitations in this proposal, R3 will also be available to conduct progress update presentations to Neighborhood Councils, commissions, and boards.

Task 8 Deliverable
— Preparation of meeting materials and presentation of information at meetings.

3. TIMELINE OF PROJECT
City of Richmond | Solid Waste Collection Franchise Agreement 7 Our tentative timeline and project schedule is both subject to revision, based on the timing of contract award, and negotiable, to best meet the City’s needs for this engagement. The timeline by task, below, includes anticipated time needed to provide draft deliverables, meetings with the City to review and discuss draft deliverables, revise the draft deliverables, and complete the finalization of deliverables.

Overall Timeline
The overall objective of this project is to facilitate a decision of the City Council regarding whether to continue its contracting relationship with Richmond Sanitary Service or proceed to competitively procure a new solid waste contract with an effective date of July 1, 2025.

In either case, a new or extended agreement for solid waste services should be executed 12 months prior to that date (i.e., July 1, 2024), in order to allow for smooth transition. To meet that milestone, the City Council should make a decision regarding whether to continue its contracting arrangement or conduct a competitive procurement no later than June 2023, which would provide one year for a competitive procurement effort, if desired by the Council. Our project timeline is geared to facilitate a City Council decision by that date. 1 Collection Agreement Analysis and Recommendations July 2022 - August 2022 2 Community Profile and Metrics July 2022 - September 2022 3 Solid Waste Collection Gap Analysis July 2022 - September 2022 4 Community Engagement July 2022 - March 2023*

3. TIMELINE OF PROJECT
8 Timeline Notes
The schedule for Task 4, Community Engagement, is flexible and will be designed with the involvement of key City stakeholders. As such, it is premature to include a firm timeline for completion of that task at this time.

That being said, we understand from the City’s RFQ that it is desirable to conduct a workshop with relevant stakeholders as soon as possible – to that end, we recommend an initial stakeholder workshop shortly after contract execution, by September 2022.

The remainder of the community engagement task schedule will be informed by the community engagement design process and is anticipated to conclude in advance of the Task 8 City Council progress update presentation in April 2023.

With respect to Task 8, Progress Update Presentations, the City’s RFQ requested updates to the Council (and Neighborhood Councils, commissions, boards, and community organizations as requested) every six months during the project. With the anticipated contract award in July 2022, pursuant to the City’s RFQ, we suggest scheduling the progress updates for November 2022 and April 2023.

4. PROPOSED BUDGET & COSTS
City of Richmond | Solid Waste Collection Franchise Agreement 9

4. PROPOSED BUDGET & COSTS
Budget Narrative
R3’s proposed budget and costs for this project is shown in the Budget Table, on the following page. The budget spreadsheet indicates the cost of each of the eight (8) major elements identified in the scope of services and is inclusive of all direct and indirect project costs associated with this project, including the estimated hours by staff person and task.

As proposed, our not to exceed budget for this engagement is $136,735. Please note that this not-to-exceed budget, and that hours and costs by specific task may vary, with the exception of task 8, Community Engagement, which we would plan to expend in full. This not-to-exceed cost does not include development and execution or award of a new solid waste collection agreement - completion of a new agreement with RSS or completion of an RFP competitive procurement process is not included in this proposal. R3 will happily subject separate scopes of work, budgets and schedules to complete one or both of those efforts upon after contract award pursuant to the City’s RFQ.

As shown in the spreadsheet, our proposed budget includes the costs associated with facilitating effective community engagement activities, as described in the commitment letter from Envirolutions (see Appendix). That commitment letter also includes an estimated $800 in Envirolutions’ mileage costs and minor materials costs, as well as 360 hours of Envirolutions staff time to complete the task 8 activities. Additionally, we have included 50 hours of R3 staff time in the community engagement efforts, to ensure that other project tasks are well informed by the community engagement process (and vice versa). Our cost proposal includes a 10% markup on Envirolutions’ hourly billable rates for R3’s management and administration of the subcontract, invoicing, and payments to Envirolutions as our sub-contractor.

Please note that Tasks 6, 7 and 8 include meetings with Council, community members, staff, and the City’s solid waste contractor. R3 is flexible with respect to the number of such meetings that are attended upon request by the City – however, if additional meetings (above and beyond the allotted hours available for meetings in those tasks) are necessary, these additional meetings requested and agreed to by the City and R3 will be above the not-to-exceed budget at our hourly rates.

R3 will not costs or invoice the City in excess of the not-to-exceed amount proposed herein without prior approval of the City, and we will take care to communicate if and when the number of requested meetings starts to approach the hours and cost thresholds established in the spreadsheet, on the following page.

R3 is willing to negotiate revisions to our proposed hours, budget, and costs in order to best meet the needs of the City with appropriate revisions to the expected scope of work.

12 R3 References
City of Santa Clara | Franchise Agreement Negotiations & Rate Study R3 was engaged by the City to assist in the preparation and negotiation of the City’s exclusive Franchise Agreements (Agreements) with Recology South Bay (Recology) and Mission Trail Waste Systems (MTWS). R3’s work included development of a multi-year Rate Study to help the City establish and set customer rates for solid waste services provided under the New Agreements.

R3 worked with City staff throughout the negotiation process to ensure that the new Agreements achieve the City’s objectives, including compliance with applicable state legislation, and the City’s long-term financial and diversion goals. R3 also assisted with the procurement of a separate contract for waste processing services to meet SB 1383 requirements with GreenWaste Recovery. Negotiations resulted in three compliance options for Council consideration, at varying levels of rate-payer convenience and expense.

City Council selected the most convenient and most expensive option, with projected increases in rates of about 60% over three years. R3 completed a Rate Study for rates effective July 1, 2020, 2021, and 2022 to ensure ongoing funding of City’s entire solid waste program and new expenses related to SB 1383 compliance. Actual rate increases over the three-year period have been slightly lower than originally projected.

For this engagement, R3 completed the following three main tasks for the City:

1. Reviewed current Agreements with Recology and MTWS and prepared recommendations to be included in new exclusive Agreements that ensure flexibility and compliance with SB 1383. Both new Agreements were executed by the City.

2. Advised and assisted with contract negotiations with the City’s current haulers and with a separate waste processor, resulting in selection of a new waste processor.

3. Completed a detailed rate study analysis to help the City establish customer rates for services to be provided under new Agreements, achieving compliance with Prop 218 and SB 1383, and meeting cost-recovery for the City’s solid waste system.

Project Benefits
» Successful negotiations of three solid waste agreements that were executed by the City and are now in effect.
» Successful completion of a cost-of-service rate study which meets the annual solid waste system funding requirements, complies with Prop 218, addresses discounted rates for low-income residents, and funds the costs of SB 1383 compliance.

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, employees 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 coverage, 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.

Minimum Scope of Insurance – the following forms shall be provided and coverage shall be at least as broad as the following:

1. Insurance Services Office Commercial General Liability coverage (ISO Occurrence Form CG 0001), and including coverage for bodily and personal injury, property damage, and products and completed operations (if applicable).

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.
