November 7, 2023
DISCUSSION:

The information in this staff report is highlighting the requirement from both the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for the City of Richmond to update its Form 130. This form, known as the "Designation of Applicant's Agent Resolution for Non-State Agencies," is crucial for designating which City officials are authorized to apply for and sign off on federal and state reimbursements following an emergency or disaster situation.

The City of Richmond last updated its Form 130 in 2018 through City Council Resolution No. 7-18. The resolution and the form it authorized had a three-year validity period, which has since expired. The new resolution aims to renew the City’s Form 130, also for a three-year term from the date of its adoption. Unlike the resolution, which speaks generally about the authority granted, the titles of the specific individuals who are designated as authorized agents are detailed in Attachment 3 (i.e., City Manager, Director of Finance, Director of Public Works, and City Engineer). This letter will be issued only after the resolution has been formally adopted by the City Council.

In summary, the update is a routine but important administrative measure to ensure that the City of Richmond remains eligible for crucial post-disaster funding from federal and state sources. The renewal of Form 130 will specify which officials can act on behalf of the City in these matters for the next three years following its adoption.

Cal OES Form 130 Instructions
A
Designation of Applicant’s Agent Resolution for Non-State Agencies is required of all Applicants to be eligible to receive funding. A new resolution must be submitted if a previously submitted Resol ution is older than three (3) years from the last date of approval, is invalid or has not been submitted.

When completing the Cal OES Form 130, Applicants should fill in the blanks on page 1. The blanks are to be filled in as follows:

Resolution Section:

Governing Body: This is the group responsible for appointing and approving the Authorized Agents.

Examples include: Board of Directors, City Council, Board of Supervisors, Board of Education, etc.

Name of Applicant: The public entity established under the laws of the State of California. Examples include: School District, Office of Education, City, County or Non-profit agency that has applied for the grant, such as: City of San Diego, Sacramento County, Burbank Unified School District, Napa County Office of Education, University Southern California .

Authorized Agent: These are the individuals that are authorized by the Governing Body to engage with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services regarding grants applied for by the Applicant. There are two ways of completing this section:

1. T itles Only: If the Governing Body so chooses, the titles of the Authorized Agents would be entered here, not their names. This allows the document to remain valid (for 3 years) if an Authorized Agent leaves the position and is replaced by another individual in the same title . If “Titles Only” is the chosen method, this document must be accompanied by a cover letter naming the Authorized Agents by name and title. This cover letter can be completed by any authorized person within the agency and does not require the Governing Body ’s signature.

2. Names and Titles: If the Governing Body so chooses, the names and titles of the Authorized Agents would be listed. A new Cal OES Form 130 will be required if any of the Authorized Agents are replaced, leave the position lis
ted on the document or their title changes.

Subject:

Transportation Development Act (TDA) Grant Contract
with SOS! Richmond for the Richmond Ferry to Bridge
Bicycle & Pedestrian Network Improvements Projects
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The proposed grant funds of $30,000 were awarded from the TDA grant program. No matching funds are required
and there is no financial impact to the General Fund.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:

June 7, 2022

STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:

Public Works is requesting City Council approval of the contract with SOS! Richmond to provide Richmond
Greenway maintenance as the previous contract was not
fully executed.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

APPROVE a contract with SOS! Richmond, in the
amount of $30,000, to provide maintenance for the
Richmond Greenway through June 30, 2024, and comply
with requirements under the Transportation Development
Act (TDA) Grant issued to the City of Richmond for
Bicycle & Pedestrian Improvements – Public Works
Department (Robert Armijo 510-620-5477/Josef Munoz
510-620-6671).

REPORT

November 7, 2023

DISCUSSION:

In November 2020, City staff collaborated with the Richmond Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee to submit a project application for the 2021-22 Transportation Development Act Article 3 (TDA 3) fund. The project includes a two-year bicycle safety education program with Bike East Bay and maintenance of the entire Richmond Greenway with Safe Organized Spaces Richmond (SOS! Richmond).

In February 2021, City Council adopted a resolution authorizing a request to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission for the allocation of fiscal year 2021-22 TDA 3 pedestrian/bicycle project funding and accepted and appropriated the grant funds for the successful application.

On June 7, 2022, City Council approved two grant-funded Transportation Development Act (TDA) contracts. One contract was with Bike East Bay and provided two years of bicycle safety education in an amount not to exceed $25,000. Another contract was approved with SOS! Richmond and provided one-year of maintenance of the Richmond Greenway in an amount not to exceed $30,000. The SOS! Richmond original contract term was to commence on July 1, 2022, and end on June 30, 2023.

The contract with SOS! Richmond was never fully executed as it was not signed by the former mayor. Approval from City Council is necessary to create a new contract with SOS! Richmond with an updated term to comply with the requirements of the TDA grant and not lose funding. Failure to comply could result in the City of Richmond repaying $178,400 in grant funds.

The terms and conditions of the grant are still valid. Eligible costs must be incurred on or before June 30, 2024. Funds not drawn by September 30, 2024, revert to the fund.

No matching funds are required and there is no financial impact to the General Fund.

The Richmond Greenway is a treasured walking, biking, and recreational path running through the heart of Richmond, but the serious problems of illegal dumping and homelessness, and the lack of maintenance, especially litter removal, threaten the viability of this public space and active transit corridor. Volunteers and non-profit groups who try to activate the Greenway often spend more time picking up trash than running their engagement programs. SOS! Richmond is a community network that engages with, provides stipends to, and employs leaders of the unsheltered community to self- manage shared public spaces. Fiscally sponsored by Richmond Friends of Recreation, SOS! Richmond deploys its teams throughout Richmond. The Greenway is an excellent candidate for deepening its partnership with Friends of the Richmond Greenway and City of Richmond Parks & Landscaping Division. With this contract, the SOS! Richmond team will increase their presence at the Greenway between 2nd Street and San Pablo Avenue to provide regular trash clean-up, security, and community engagement to deter unsafe trail conditions.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall immediately defend and indemnify the City and its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers from and against any and all liabilities, regardless of nature or type, that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Contractor, or its employees, agents, or subcontractors.

Liabilities subject to the duties to defend and indemnify include, without limitation, any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, and judgments; associated investigation and administrative expenses; defense costs, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees; court costs; and costs of alternative dispute resolution. Contractor’s obligation to 1521
General Conditions/EJ/TE 01-19-11 7 of 13

indemnify applies unless it is finally adjudicated that the liability was caused by the sole active negligence or sole willful misconduct of an indemnified party.

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

October 2014 TDA Article 3 Model Resolution for Claimants Page 1 TDA Article 3 Project Application Form
Fiscal Year of this Claim: 21/22 Applicant: City of Richmond Contact person: Patrick Phelan
Mailing Address: 450 Civic Center Plaza, Richmond, CA 94804 E-Mail Address: [email protected] Telephone: 510-307-8111 Secondary Contact (in event primary not available) Tawfic N. Halaby E-Mail Address: [email protected] Telephone: 510-621-1612 Short Title Description of Project: Richmond Greenway Rehabilitation & Richmond Bicycle Safety Education Project Amount of claim: $100,000
Functional Description of Project:

The City of Richmond and the Richmond Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee (R-BPAC) propose a three-part project including bicycle safety education with Bike East Bay, maintenance of the Richmond Greenway in collaboration with Safe Organized Spaces Richmond (SOS! Richmond), and the rehabilitation of a critical segment of the Richmond Greenway where it is bisected by an underpass and railroad tracks. The project proposal was developed during three R-BPAC meetings, where members felt that the City should take advantage of the TDA3 program’s rare opportunity to fund bicycle safety education programming and multi-use path maintenance, in addition to a small construction project. Bike East Bay staff assist Richmond in multiple ways and regularly attend R-BPAC meetings. However, most of Bike East Bay’s award-winning education programming is currently based in Alameda County, with little education funding specifically for Contra Costa County. These grant funds would bring important programming to Richmond, providing one-on-one support and encouragement for residents to take advantage of the investments being made in active transportation infrastructure.

The Richmond Greenway is a 2.4 mile long multi-use path running in a former railroad right-of-way through the heart of Richmond. In 2019, a 3,000 foot long cycle track was added to the west end of the Greenway along a large unused railroad property, functionally extending the Greenway to connect with the San Franciso Bay Trail along the Richmond Parkway. Along the Greenway corridor are parks, playgrounds, community gardens, green infrastructure elements, native landscaping, and a bicycle skills park. The serious problems of illegal dumping and homelessness, and the lack of maintenance, especially litter removal, threaten the viability of this public space and active transit corridor. Volunteers and non-profit groups spend more time picking up trash than running their engagement programs. SOS! Richmond is a community network that engages with, provides stipends to, and employs leaders of the unsheltered community to self-manage shared public spaces. Fiscally sponsored by Richmond Friends of Recreation, SOS deploys its teams throughout greater Richmond. The Greenway is an excellent candidate for deepening its partnership with Friends of the Richmond Greenway (FORG) and City of Richmond Parks & Landscaping Division. SOS would help maintain the entire length of the Greenway including the cycle track extension.

A gap in the Greenway remains between 23rd Street and Carlson Blvd, where pedestrians and bicyclists must make a number of turns on city streets and through an underpass to get around the railroad tracks. At the corner of Ohio Ave and 23rd St, an undersized and failing sidewalk must be used to access the Greenway and Dirt World, a 2-acre free, public bicycle terrain park along the Greenway. Dirt World and its creators are frequent City and R-BPAC collaborators. The portion of the Greenway multi-use path along Dirt World is deteriorating and needs to be rehabilitated, contiguous with the failing sidewalk. These funds will improve safety and comfort along the path; will allow Dirt World to focus their efforts on the bike skills park itself; and will improve access to the Greenway at a critical junction with city streets.

SCOPE OF WORK
Bicycle Safety Education
City of Richmond will contract with Bike East Bay for a two‐year bicycle safety education program consisting of four 1‐hour workshops, one adult learn‐to‐ride class, and four family cycling workshops. 1‐Hour Workshop: These sessions go in‐depth with a certified instructor on a specific topic such as avoiding bike theft, riding after dark, bike‐friendly driver classes, or basic bike mechanics. 1‐hour, classroom or virtual webinar workshop. Average attendance: 10. Instruction hours: 1. Number of Instructors: 1
Learn‐to‐Ride for Adults: For adults or teens who have either not yet learned how to ride a bike, or did a long time ago but want a refresher on the basics of balancing, pedaling and steering. Our instructors are friendly, patient, and will help everyone get off to a great start in a secure, non‐judgmental environment. 3‐hour, outdoor workshop for adults and teens, bike and helmet required. Bikes are provided for a rental fee to participants who need them. Average attendance: Normally 12, or 8 under covid protocols. Instruction hours: 3. Number of Instructors: Normally 4; under covid protocols: 3.

Family Cycling Workshop: This event is for kids who are able to ride a bike and ready to take to the roads and pathways with their parents. The class includes a day of fun games, skills building, and a neighborhood ride. Parents and kids attend together. Outdoor session for adults and youth in grades 2‐6 (approx.). Can be provided as a standalone class with attendees bringing their own bikes and helmets (Family Cycling Workshop) or as part of a community festival or other event with youth loaner bikes and helmets provided (Family Cycling Rodeo). Average attendance: Normally 25; under covid protocols: 15.

Instruction hours: 3. Number of Instructors: Normally 4; under covid protocols: 3.

Richmond Greenway Maintenance
Safe Organized Spaces Richmond (SOS! Richmond) successfully operates programs by partnering housed and unsheltered residents to work together on neighborhood conditions across greater Richmond. Its Streets Team responds to problems of illegal dumping, trash and homeless encampments. SOS! staff members, all of whom are homeless, travel to various encampments and conduct outreach to remove debris, model appropriate sanitation, and engage with unsheltered individuals to build leaders who conduct public space stewardship. The Streets Team enjoys support from community members, public agencies, civic groups and nonprofits across Richmond.

The Streets Team was piloted on the Richmond Greenway for six months beginning in January 2020.

Survey reporting from Richmond Greenway park users indicated that people are often deterred from using the Greenway’s pedestrian and bike trail due to unsafe conditions and unintended uses at key locations along the corridor. The project demonstrated an effective low‐infrastructure model to mitigate these problems, and in June 2020 these essential services expanded throughout greater Richmond.

The SOS team of unsheltered volunteers and employees will increase their presence at the Greenway to provide regular trash cleanup, security, and community engagement to deter unsafe trail conditions.

The team initiates opportunities for unsheltered volunteers to train for advancement as employees on a homeless team of professionals to contribute their local neighborhood knowledge and cultural competencies for improving the Greenway for all park users. 1552
The intervention strategy for park maintenance: Engage with potential leaders; Pass out bags, lead cleanup activities, and develop a predictable cleanup and haul away pattern; Incentivize leaders to sustain their stable, consistent, and accountable stewardship of the Greenway and prevent or mitigate illegal dumping; Bring additional amenities that help unsheltered populations to stably shelter in place and effectively co‐exist with traditional park users.

Richmond Greenway Multi‐Use Path Rehabilitation
City street paving crews will rehabilitate 640 linear feet of the existing multi‐use path along the Dirt World bike park between 20th Street and 23rd Street. Asphalt is cracking and pavement markings have disappeared. The 2” asphalt overlay will also slightly raise the elevation of the path which will help with periodic ponding and flooding issues.

At the end of the multi‐use path at 23rd Street, a 5 foot wide sidewalk connects the path to Espee Ave on the north side and Ohio Ave on the south. This narrow path does not constitute a legitimate bicycling route and moreover, it is subsiding and shifting, making it potentially dangerous and definitely ADA non‐ compliant. City will hire one of its on‐call concrete contractors to remove 200 feet of sidewalk and replace with a 10‐foot wide asphalt multi‐use path. A short section near Ohio Ave will remain because that section has not shifted and it would be complicated to widen. This sidewalk path is not just a side connection to but is an important component in traversing the gap in the Richmond Greenway between 23rd Street and Carlson Blvd.

Functional Description of Project:

The City of Richmond and the Richmond Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee (R-BPAC) propose a three- part project including bicycle safety education with Bike East Bay, maintenance of the Richmond Greenway in collaboration with Safe Organized Spaces Richmond (SOS! Richmond), and the rehabilitation of a critical segment
of the Richmond Greenway where it is bisected by an underpass and railroad tracks. The project proposal was developed during three R-BPAC meetings, where members felt that the City should take advantage of the TDA3 program’s rare opportunity to fund bicycle safety education programming and multi-use path maintenance, in addition to a small construction project. Bike East Bay staff assist Richmond in multiple ways and regularly attend R-BPAC meetings. However, most of Bike East Bay’s award-winning education programming is currently based in Alameda County, with little education funding specifically for Contra Costa County. These grant funds would bring important programming to Richmond, providing one-on-one support and encouragement for residents to take advantage of the investments being made in active transportation infrastructure.

Dear Ms. Snideman,

The Richmond Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee (R‐BPAC) supports the City of Richmond’s application for the 2021/2022 Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 3 fund. Because this grant program provides funding for a variety of purposes, Richmond proposes a project that includes bicycle
safety education with Bike East Bay, maintenance of the Richmond Greenway in collaboration with Safe Organized Spaces Richmond (SOS! Richmond), and the rehabilitation of a segment of the Richmond Greenway multi‐use path. City staff presented several infrastructure, maintenance, and programmatic ideas to the R‐BPAC where these ideas were explored, vetted, and decided upon in a collaborative process over several meetings.

As R‐BPAC understands, opportunities to fund education and maintenance are rare. Both the lack of bicycle safety education and multi‐use path maintenance are serious issues in Richmond. The City has made significant investments in improving active transportation infrastructure in the ten years since Richmond Bicycle Master Plan was created ‐ creating this plan was one of the first projects the R‐BPAC took on. But physical changes alone cannot create a safe environment for new or less‐confident bike riders. Having bicycle safety education programming tailored to the City’s needs will go a long way to encourage more local residents to try out bike lanes and paths. Bike East Bay is a logical partner, as they are the established leader in bicycle safety education throughout the East Bay, and Bike East Bay staff attend R‐BPAC meetings and provide support to the group and the City in multiple ways.

The Richmond Greenway is a treasured walking, biking, and recreational path running east‐west through the heart of Richmond. Along the corridor are parks, playgrounds, community gardens, green infrastructure elements, native landscaping, and a bicycle skills park. The serious problems of Illegal
dumping and homelessness, and the lack of maintenance, especially litter removal, threaten the viability of this public space and active transit corridor. BPAC members have heard that some bicyclists have biked up the Ohlone Greenway, crossed over San Pablo Ave via the recently built traffic signal, and promptly turned around due to the broken glass and unsightly conditions on the Richmond Greenway. 1568
SOS! Richmond is a community network that engages with, provides stipends to and employs leaders of the unsheltered community to self‐manage shared public spaces and already has experience working on the Greenway. These maintenance funds would allow for a deepening of its partnership with Friends of the Richmond Greenway (FORG) and City of Richmond Parks & Landscaping.

The first bike park in the East Bay, Dirt World is a 2‐acre free, public bicycle terrain park on the Richmond Greenway between 20th and 23rd Streets. Dirt World and its creators are frequent City and R‐ BPAC collaborators. The portion of the multi‐use path in the vicinity of Dirt World is deteriorating and needs to be rehabilitated, which will improve safety and comfort along the path and will allow Dirt World to focus their improvement efforts on the bike skills park itself.

The Richmond Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee urges the Contra Costa County reviewing committee to consider this multi‐benefit proposal which was crafted in part by our organization. If awarded, this funding could create city‐wide educational programming, create local jobs for an underserved community, help clean and maintain the Richmond Greenway, and improve a section of the Richmond Greenway multi‐use path.

Sincerely,

Tawfic N. Halaby

Dear Ms. Snideman,

The Friends of Dirt World is pleased to offer our support for the City of Richmond’s application for the 2021/2022 Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 3 fund. We understand that Richmond is proposing a project that includes bicycle safety education with Bike East Bay, maintenance of the Richmond Greenway in collaboration with Safe Organized Spaces Richmond (SOS! Richmond), and the rehabilitation of a segment of the Richmond Greenway multi-use path at Dirt World (20th to 23rd Street).

We appreciate this opportunity to explore and develop ideas in a collaborative process.

In partnership with the Friends of the Richmond Greenway (FORG), the City of Richmond and R-BPAC, we have worked very hard to design and build Dirt World, a bmx bike park, on our adopt-a-spot on the Greenway. With an average of 75 visitors a day, and an active volunteer group, we have successfully activated this segment of the greenway, providing a clean, green, safe space for Bay Area youth and families to enjoy positive, outdoor experiences. Dirt World is the only bike park in the East Bay, and provides a unique recreational opportunity for local residents who are not able to travel further away visit to bike parks and regional trails.

Because bike riders visit Dirt World from all over the region, we want people to feel welcome and safe, and we want to represent Richmond in the best possible light. Illegal dumping, encampments, and biohazards have been a real challenge at our site on the Richmond Greenway, and this grant would allow our volunteers to focus on maintenance of the recreational bike facility. The proposed solution helps SOS participants get back on their feet by providing paid work for stewardship on the Richmond Greenway, and helps keep the parks along the greenway safe and clean. Also, the class I multi-use Richmond Greenway Trail along our segment is in poor condition and does not meet ADA accessibility standards.

Thanks to an ECIA grant and private donations, we completed the first phase of construction of the bmx facility in 2018. The Watershed Project recently received a $400k Urban Greening Grant from the Coastal Conservancy, so investment in the trail infrastructure of this segment of the greenway allows us to leverage that funding for an amazing park! The Friends of Dirt World appreciates that this funding could create city-wide educational programming, create local jobs for an underserved community, help clean and maintain the Richmond Greenway, and improve a section of the Richmond Greenway multi-use path.

Sincerely,

Jeanine Strickland, Landscape Architect

City
staff
presented
several
infrastructure,
maintenance,

and
programmatic
ideas
to
the
Richmond
Bicycle/Pedestrian
Advisory
Committee
(R-BPAC),

where these ideas were explored, vetted, and decided upon in a collaborative process.

The
City
of

by
partnering
with

other
local

program
has
provided
free
classes
to
tens
of
thousands
of

adults,
youth,
and
families
in
multiple
languages
over
two
decades.

However,
much
of
this

programming
is
currently
based
in
Alameda
County,
with
little
education
funding
specifically
for

Contra
Costa
County.

These
grant
funds
would
bring
important
programming
to
Richmond,

providing
one-on-one
support
and
encouragement
for
residents
to
take
advantage
of
the

investments being made in active transportation infrastructure.

The
Richmond
Greenway
is
a

2.4-mile-long
multi-use
path
running
in

Richmond.

Along
the
corridor
are
parks,
playgrounds,

community

The
serious
problems
of
Illegal

homelessness,
and
the
lack
of
maintenance,

especially
litter
removal,
threaten
the
viability
of
this

itself.

Rich
City

appreciates
that
Contra
Costa
County
provides
TDA
funding
for

construction,
education,
maintenance
and
planning,
and
encourages
the
involvement
of
local

BPACs.

If
awarded,
this
funding
could
create
city-wide
educational
programming,
create
local

jobs
for
an
underserved
community,
help
clean
and
maintain
the
Richmond

and

improve a section of the Richmond Greenway multi-use path.

So,
in
conclusion,
we
believe
this
project
is
very
advantageous
and
beneficial
to
the
city

and
its
citizens.

We
have
worked
with
all
of
these
parties,
so
we
know
that
these
funds
will
be

spent
effectively
and
judiciously.

Rich

Focus Area 4: Connecting the west and east spans of the Richmond Greenway
The intersections of Carlson Boulevard/Broadway, the railroad tracks, and 23rd Street/Ohio Avenue comprise one of the most significant bar‐ riers on the City’s bicycle network. Located in Central Richmond, just south of the Richmond BART Station and Civic Center area, this site is defined by a series of railroad and BART tracks that restrict bicycle and pedestrian access to key destinations, including the Richmond Greenway, Bay Trail, BART Station and Downtown.

The area’s current configuration provides poor bicycle and pedestrian access. Both 23rd Street and Carlson Boulevard have fast‐moving ve‐ hicle traffic and poor sightlines. At the Carlson Boulevard/Broadway intersection, overhead BART tracks are supported by columns that reduce visibility around the intersection, and at‐grade railroad tracks are a significant barrier to east‐west connections. Additionally, 23rd Street runs below grade in this location, further limiting east‐west access.

As the roadway and railroad track configuration is confusing, bicycl‐ ists and pedestrians would benefit from signage and wayfinding di‐ recting users to surrounding destinations.

The western portion of the Richmond Greenway ends at Ohio Avenue and 23rd Street, where there is little accommodation for bicyclists or pedestrians. To connect to the eastern portion of the Richmond Greenway, users are supposed to travel under the railroad tracks on 23rd Street, and then loop back to the Greenway on Carlson Boule‐ vard. This route is neither direct nor intuitive, and as a result path us‐ ers have often used an unmarked trail across private property and cross the railroad tracks to Carlson Boulevard. Once at Carlson Boule‐ vard, there is no marked crosswalk or signal in this location for bicycl‐ ists and pedestrians to cross safely. Current efforts to fence the rail‐ road tracks may deter people from using the at‐grade crossing route, however the suggested route is not viable and vandalism will likely continue to be an issue along the at‐grade route.

The eastern portion of the Richmond Greenway ends at Carlson Bou‐ levard, where there is no comfortable access to and from the north.

The Greenway entrance lacks a curb cut, so northbound bicyclists ride on the sidewalk, and southbound bicyclists entering the Greenway must cut across several lanes of fast moving traffic. There is also an opportunity to provide a Class I connection along the east side of Carlson Boulevard adjacent to sidewalk, which may require right‐of‐ way acquisition.

In the short ‐term, the following improvements may be considered:
 Improve crossings at the Carlson Boulevard/ Broadway/ 22nd Street intersection to create a seamless connection between the Greenway and on‐street facilities. Provide a pedestrian/bicycle actuated signal phase to allow Greenway users to cross diagonally across the intersection.
 Construct a Class I spur path along the east side of Carlson Boulevard from the Richmond Greenway to Broadway. Right‐of‐ way acquisition may be necessary.
 Install Class II physically separated bike lanes on Carlson Boulevard.
 Potential lane narrowing or lane reduction on Carlson Boulevard and S. 23rd Street.
 Install a two‐way cycle track adjacent to southbound S. 23rd Street below the railroad tracks. Provide switchback connections to the Greenway at Ohio Avenue on the south end and 22nd Street on the north end.
1577
66 | Proposed Bicycle Network O CTOBER 2011

 Install a bike lane along the section of 22nd Street that bridges 23rd Street, from the two‐way cycle track on S. 23rd Street to the Broadway/ Carlson Boulevard intersection.
 Install a bike box on 23rd Street at Bissell Avenue to transition bicyclists east. Consider a switchback path that would connect to a two‐way cycle track on the 23rd Street frontage road to provide a direct connection between 23rd Street northbound bike lane and the eastern span of the Richmond Greenway.  Install wayfinding and signage
 Improve the Ohio Avenue crossing for bicyclists and pedestrians

In the medium ‐term, the following improvements may be considered:
 At‐grade bicycle and pedestrian railroad crossing, and associated crosswalk improvements across Carlson Boulevard and 23rd Street to connect the east and west portions of the Richmond Greenway. Right‐of‐way acquisition may be necessary to provide a pathway connection from 23rd Street to the railroad tracks. Permission from the Public Utilities Commission to construct a new at‐grade railroad crossing at this location may be difficult. This improvement should be considered in combination with safety enhancements of other nearby railroad crossings at Carlson Boulevard/Maine Avenue and Carlson/Cutting Boulevard.
 Install a staggered crosswalk with median refuge across Carlson Boulevard to connect to the railroad crossing

In the long ‐term, the following improvements may be considered:

Grade‐separated bicycle and pedestrian crossing over 23rd Street to connect the east and west portions of the Richmond Greenway.

November 7, 2023
DISCUSSION:

The One Bay Area Grant (OBAG) program is designed to help communities invest in transportation infrastructure that supports infill development by providing funds for bicycle and pedestrian improvements, local road repair, and planning activities, while also providing funds for Safe Routes to School programs and for Priority Conservation Areas. The City Council adopted Resolutions authorizing applications for OBAG funding and allocating matching funds for two projects in December 2022 (see Attachments 2 and 3).

The City’s Bayview to BART Project is one of two Richmond proposals that have been selected for funding under round 3 of the OBAG program. As shown in Exhibit A, this project will provide a safe and comfortable walking and biking route connecting the Del Norte BART Station to the San Francisco Bay Trail. It will leverage existing multi-use paths, tie into El Cerrito’s Transit Oriented Development Complete Streets Project, improve conditions around parks and schools, and implement elements of the South Richmond Transportation Connectivity Plan.

The other Richmond proposal selected for OBAG funding is the McBryde Ave Safe- Routes-to-Parks Project. As described in Exhibit B, the project will provide a safe and comfortable walking and biking route from Wildcat Canyon Regional Park to the amenities and bus service along San Pablo Avenue and an existing crosstown bike route on 37th Street. The project will improve pavement conditions, calm traffic, add audible pedestrian signals, restripe the roadway with bike lanes, and build curb ramps, high visibility crosswalks, and other pedestrian improvements.

The Bayview to BART Project will receive $1,675,000 in OBAG funding and the McBryde Ave Safe-Routes-to-Parks Project will receive $1,028,000. Once the City receives the funding, the project designs will be further developed and finalized with extensive community input.

City staff will apply for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Notice to Exemption Section 15301.The projects do not have significant effect on the environment, and therefore can be deemed categorically exempt from CEQA.

To maintain funding eligibility, all cities and counties receiving OBAG money must authorize the submission of an application for financing allotted to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), as well as the commitment of any necessary matching funds and assurance of completion of the project. On December 20, 2022, the City Council passed and adopted the local support resolution for Bayview to BART and McBryde Ave Safe-Routes-to-Parks Projects (refer to Attachment 2 and 3).

Jurisdictions are required to self-certify compliance with specific state housing laws related to surplus lands, accessory dwelling units, and density bonuses through adoption of a local resolution. The Resolution in Attachment 1 has been prepared for 1591

Public Works

DATE: November 7, 2023
TO: Mayor Martinez and Members of the City Council
FROM:

Daniel Chavarria, Director of Public Works
Robert Armijo, PE, Deputy Director of Public Works/City Engineer
Josef Munoz, Capital Projects Manager
Subject:

As-Needed Landscape Architectural Design Services for
Various City of Richmond Projects
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The term of each of the contracts will be three (3) years with two one-year extension options. The total not-to-
exceed amount for each consultant contract during the
initial term is $500,000. The as-needed architectural
design services will be provided for projects funded
through various sources. The approval of these contracts will not result in an additional appropriation of funds.

Funds will be identified prior to the performance of the design services.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:

N/A

STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:

City staff is recommending City Council approval of
standing contracts for as-needed landscape architectural design services to expedite the design of capital
improvement and operational projects. The time and
costs currently expended in selecting consultants on a
project-by-project basis will be significantly reduced.

AGENDA
REPORT
1609

Page 2 of 3 ends

November 7, 2023
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

ADOPT a resolution authorizing service contracts with
seven architectural design firms for as-needed landscape architectural services, in an amount not to exceed
$500,000 per firm, over a three-year period from
December 1, 2023, through December 31, 2026, with two
one-year extension options, for a total amount not to
exceed $300,000 per firm for the total extension period - Public Works Department (Robert Armijo 510-620-
5477/Josef Munoz 510-620-6671).

DISCUSSION:

It is anticipated that several capital improvement projects funded by various capital improvement funds, bonds, and grants will require the use of as-needed landscape architectural design services. Additionally, unscheduled projects will occur throughout the three-year period and will most likely require the use of the service agreements as needed. As-needed landscape architectural services agreements allow the City to provide necessary design services in an efficient and timely manner. The agreements will eliminate the lengthy process and costs associated with selecting consultants on an individual project-by-project request for proposals basis.

On March 10, 2023, the City issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for as-needed architectural services. The RFQ was posted on the City's BidsOnline System and 52 firms received copies of the proposal.

Fourteen firms submitted proposals. The evaluation criteria included:

1. Relevant experience and strengths of the firm;

2. Organization of firm, availability of resources and capability to meet project schedules;

3. Qualifications of project team and project manager; and

4. Ability to provide high quality customer service to the city and the community.

On September 5, 2023, a panel of three City employees selected seven landscape architectural firms. The selected firms are highly qualified to provide as-needed landscape architectural services for the City of Richmond for the anticipated professional services workload for the next three years with two additional one-year extension options.

The seven firms that are being recommended for approval are:

 Adrienne Wong Associates, Inc.
 CSW/Stuber-Stroeh Engineering Group, Inc.
 Gates + Associates
 Groundworks Office
 Nichols Consulting Engineers, Chtd
1610

Page 3 of 3 ends

November 7, 2023
 PlaceWorks
 Royston Hanamoto Alley & Abey, Inc.

Each service contract is for an amount not-to-exceed $500,000 over a three-year period with two one-year extension options, for a total amount not to exceed $300,000 per firm for the entire extension period. Public Works Engineering will manage these contracts. The firms hired with as-needed landscape architectural design services will provide site analysis and investigation, structural analysis, permit coordination, preparation of conceptual and schematic designs, preparation of construction documents for bidding, cost estimating, and construction sup port for libraries, gymnasiums, community centers, senior centers, parks, fire stations and maintenance yards, as well as other yet unspecified Public Works related projects.
