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.

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.

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.

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.

SANCTUARY CITY COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
The undersigned, (hereafter "Contractor"), has had an opportunity to review the requirements of City of Richmond Ordinance 12-18 (hereafter "Sanctuary City Contracting Ordinance" or “SCCO”).
Contractor understands and agrees that the City may choose with whom it will maintain business relations and may refrain from contracting with any person or entity that provides Data Broker or Extreme Vetting services to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Division of the United States Department of Homeland Security (“ICE”). Contractor understands the meaning of the following terms used in the SCCO:
a. "Data Broker” means either of the following:
i. The collection of information, including personal information about consumers, from a wide variety of sources for the purposes of reselling such information to their customers, which include both private-sector business and government agencies;
ii. The aggregation of data that was collected for another purpose from that for which it is ultimately used.
b. “Extreme Vetting” means data mining, threat modeling, predictive risk analysis, or other similar services."
Contractor understands that it is not eligible to receive or retain a City contract if at the time the Contract is executed, or at any time during the term of the Contract, it provides Data Broker or Extreme Vetting services to ICE.
Contractor further understands and agrees that Contractor's failure to comply with the SCCO shall constitute a material default of the Contract and the City Manager may terminate the Contract and bar Contractor from bidding on future contracts with the City for five (5) years from the effective date of the contract termination.
By executing this statement, Contractor certifies that it complies with the requirements of the SCCO and that if at any time during the term of the Contract it ceases to comply, Contractor will promptly notify the City Manager in writing. Any person or entity who knowingly or willingly supplies false information in violation of the SCCO shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to a $1,000 fine.
Based on the foregoing, the undersigned declares under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is true and correct.

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.

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.

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.

SANCTUARY CITY COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
The undersigned, (hereafter "Contractor"), has had an opportunity to review the requirements of City of Richmond Ordinance 12-18 (hereafter "Sanctuary City Contracting Ordinance" or “SCCO”).
Contractor understands and agrees that the City may choose with whom it will maintain business relations and may refrain from contracting with any person or entity that provides Data Broker or Extreme Vetting services to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Division of the United States Department of Homeland Security (“ICE”).

ii. The aggregation of data that was collected for another purpose from that for which it is ultimately used.
b. “Extreme Vetting” means data mining, threat modeling, predictive risk analysis, or other similar services."

Contractor further understands and agrees that Contractor's failure to comply with the SCCO shall constitute a material default of the Contract and the City Manager may terminate the Contract and bar Contractor from bidding on future contracts with the City for five (5) years from the effective date of the contract termination.
By executing this statement, Contractor certifies that it complies with the requirements of the SCCO and that if at any time during the term of the Contract it ceases to comply, Contractor will promptly notify the City Manager in writing.

SANCTUARY CITY COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
The undersigned, (hereafter "Contractor"), has had an opportunity to review the requirements of City of Richmond Ordinance 12-18 (hereafter "Sanctuary City Contracting Ordinance" or “SCCO”).
Contractor understands and agrees that the City may choose with whom it will maintain business relations and may refrain from contracting with any person or entity that provides Data Broker or Extreme Vetting services to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Division of the United States Department of Homeland Security (“ICE”).

ii. The aggregation of data that was collected for another purpose from that for which it is ultimately used.
b. “Extreme Vetting” means data mining, threat modeling, predictive risk analysis, or other similar services."

Contractor further understands and agrees that Contractor's failure to comply with the SCCO shall constitute a material default of the Contract and the City Manager may terminate the Contract and bar Contractor from bidding on future contracts with the City for five (5) years from the effective date of the contract termination.
By executing this statement, Contractor certifies that it complies with the requirements of the SCCO and that if at any time during the term of the Contract it ceases to comply, Contractor will promptly notify the City Manager in writing.

June 17, 2025
DISCUSSION:
The Public Works Department maintains and operates over 50 buildings. Generally, City staff makes repairs to windows and doors in City buildings. However, due to the wide variety of glazing products, it is not possible to maintain an adequate inventory for all products needed. In addition, on occasion, specialized knowledge or equipment may be needed to complete a repair and assistance from a qualified service provider is required.
City owned buildings where window and door repair services may be needed include:
• Civic Center Plaza
• Libraries
• Community Centers
• Fire Houses
• Police Department and substations
On April 7, 2025, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Glazing Services (window supplies and services). The RFP was posted on the City’s BidsOnline platform and numerous prospective bidders were notified. When the bid period was closed on April 18, 2025, the City received one proposal, from Wadsworth Glass, Inc. City staff reviewed the proposal and found it to be responsive to the RFP (Attachment 1).
Wadsworth Glass Inc. is a reputable and experienced vendor specializing in the provision of high-quality glass products and services. The company has an established track record of successfully supporting municipalities and large organizations, demonstrating their capability to meet the City’s ongoing glass service needs in a reliable and professional manner.
City staff recommends City Council adopt the resolution approving a three-year contract to Wadsworth Glass, Inc., for as-needed window supplies and service, for a term beginning July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2028, in a not-to-exceed amount of $300,000, with the option to extend the contract for two additional one-year terms in a not-to-exceed amount of $100,000 each additional year (Attachment 2 and 3).

AGENDA
REPORT
743
June 17, 2025
DISCUSSION:
Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), also known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, was enacted to address the critical funding shortfall in maintaining and improving California’s transportation infrastructure. SB 1 established the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), which receives revenues from increased fuel taxes, diesel sales taxes, and vehicle registration fees. These funds are distributed by formula to cities and counties and are intended to support basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and safety improvements on the local street and road network.
To remain eligible for RMRA funding, local agencies must annually submit a list of proposed projects to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) by July 1. The list must be adopted by resolution of the City Council and include each project’s description, location, proposed schedule, and estimated useful life.
For Fiscal Year 2025-26, the City of Richmond is projected to receive $3,040,843 in SB 1 RMRA funding, which will be deposited into SB 1 Fund 1019.
The City of Richmond uses the StreetSaver® Pavement Management System to evaluate pavement conditions and establish data-driven priorities for roadway maintenance. Based on current network conditions and community needs, City staff has identified two projects for inclusion in the FY 2025-26 SB 1 project list:
1. 2025 Paving Project: Asphalt Rubberized Cape Seal
This project includes crack sealing, mill & fill overlays, asphalt rubberized cape seal treatments, and installation of pavement markings, striping, markers and curb paint (Attachment 1). These treatments are cost-effective and environmentally beneficial, extending the life of streets in fair condition by 6 to 15 years, depending on the treatment type (Attachment 2).
2. Carlson Crosstown Project Phase II
This project includes the installation of bike lanes, pedestrian ramp upgrades, bus shelter connections, asphalt paving, sidewalk and tree root repairs, and the application of new signage and traffic striping. These improvements are designed to enhance multimodal safety, promote accessibility, and support smoother traffic operations along Carlson Boulevard.
The selected projects reflect the City's commitment to preserving roadway infrastructure, improving accessibility, and enhancing neighborhood safety. SB 1 funds will supplement existing local and grant funding sources to support construction, design, and construction management activities. Where feasible, the City may also leverage these funds as a match to secure additional grant opportunities.
City staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving the Fiscal Year 2025-26 SB 1 RMRA project list (Attachment 3). This action is required to maintain funding eligibility and will allow the City to advance high-priority pavement 744
June 17, 2025

DocID #45625v1
DISCUSSION:
On December 19, 2023, the City Council directed staff to conduct a study to evaluate the feasibility of constructing and operating an autonomous transit network (ATN) that would connect the Richmond Ferry Terminal, Richmond BART, and the Hilltop area of Richmond. This would be the first step to developing an ATN in Richmond. The 2023 agenda report recommended funding the study through the Environmental and Community Investment Agreement (ECIA) fund. However, funding for the study was not allocated or appropriated at that time. Public Works staff requests that City Council appropriate funding from ECIA to conduct an ATN feasibility study.
An ATN has the potential to reduce vehicle trips within Richmond and improve connections to existing transit services for neighborhoods that are not served by BART.
This aligns with the City’s goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) within Richmond by increasing local transit ridership, as outlined in the City’s First Mile/Last Mile Transportation Strategic Plan.
The study will evaluate potential routes and network alignment; anticipated ridership; environmental and economic benefits; business models for operations; costs for implementation (including construction, operations, and maintenance); sources of funding; and opportunities for long-term expansion.
In February 2025, Public Works Staff issued a request for proposals (RFP) for engineering and transportation firms to conduct a study evaluating the effectiveness and feasibility of an ATN in Richmond (Attachment 1). Public Works received two proposals from qualified firms. A panel of Public Works, Community Development, and Economic Development staff members who possess the technical expertise to effectively evaluate this type of proposal, and understand the transportation, land use planning, and economic development opportunity presented by ATN reviewed the proposals and interviewed both firms. Selection criteria included qualifications and related experience, understanding of the study’s goals and objectives, and approach to conducting the feasibility study.
The panel identified Kimley-Horn as the best fit for conducting the feasibility study based on the firm’s approach to technical analysis and community engagement, and experience conducting a similar study in South San Francisco.

2 I. Introduction
The City of Richmond seeks services from qualified firms to implement a Feasibility Study (Study) evaluating the effectiveness and feasibility of on-demand, automated transit options designed to meet the diverse mobility needs of people within the City. In alignment with public feedback as well as the City’s First Mile/Last Mile Transportation Strategic Plan, the City seeks to increase local transit ridership and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) by shortening gaps between transit services and neighborhood connections. Existing local transit options have been challenged by the City’s seasonal demand, constrained fiscal resources, geographic layout, and dispersed land use patterns. The City believes that alternative transit services could provide benefits to the City and region that exceed the current, fixed-route transit systems, and therefore seeks to explore options for development and implementation of these services.
The purpose of this Study is to analyze the feasibility of constructing and operating an Automated Transit Network (ATN) system in Richmond, in addition to examining the core system of ATN, including its operations, anticipated benefits, potential ridership demand, implementation costs, risk mitigation strategies, business models, and funding approaches (e.g., grants). This Study will be the first phase for implementation of an automated local transit service that may eventually be extended to surrounding jurisdictions. The Study shall develop alignment concepts for initial implementation, as well as opportunities for long-term expansion, based on high-level ridership analysis, and feedback gathered through stakeholder engagement, to offer near-term solutions for an automated transit service. The Study shall identify all immediate and long-term capital needs, including system initialization, maintenance, ongoing operating costs for the proposed services, and identify potential sources of funding (e.g., grants). The main purpose of the Study is to inform decision-making entities about the potential for successfully integrating a ATN system over time to encourage economic growth and vitality, while complimenting existing local and regional services currently available, including the San Francisco Bay Ferry, Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), AC Transit, Western Contra Costa Transit Authority (WestCAT), and Amtrak.
Policy Synergies
Responses to this RFP shall ensure that proposed activities are in alignment with existing Plans and policies of the City, including but not limited to:
• The 2030 General Plan – Circulation, Policies CR1.1. CR1.2, CR1.3, CR1.4, CR1.5, CR1.6, CR1.7, CR1.8 and CR1.9.
(https://www.ci.richmond.ca.us/2608/General-Plan-2030)
• First Mile/ Last Mile Transportation Strategic Plan (2019) (https://www.ci.richmond.ca.us/FirstMile/LastMile Transportation) II. Scope of Work
Project Objective
Automated Transit Network (ATN) services utilize autonomous vehicles on exclusive, grade-separated guideways to provide on-demand, primarily non-stop, origin-to-destination services over a given area network.
The City aims to develop and implement an ATN that demonstrates the feasibility and networkability of this technology, provides a fixed transit connection, and creates the technological, design, economic, and policy framework that supports potential expansions of the ATN system to nearby jurisdictions. 768
3 The firm shall work to develop a feasibility study with the following objectives:
- Identify any relevant local, regional, state and federal system performance and safety requirements and assess consistency with the City’s short/long term objectives. - Identify possible routes and station locations that demonstrate the feasibility of the technology and maximize the benefit to users. Routes shall connect key areas of the City, including but not limited to Richmond Parkway, San Francisco Ferry Terminal, Richmond BART Station, and the Hilltop area. - Ensure services and associated resources will be aesthetically pleasing, convey information clearly to users, are easy to use, and are embraced by the public. - Ensure that policymakers, key stakeholders, and members of the public are kept informed on the progress of the Project, their input is solicited, and their questions and concerns are addressed. - Identify, and if necessary, prepare environmental documentation requirements including compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and other applicable regulations. Ensure that technological gaps are identified. - Recommend an ATN system that can be built in the most energy-efficient manner possible and fully pursue all practical means of capturing and utilizing renewable energy to power the ATN system. - Incorporate equity considerations into decision-making and planning, in areas including but not limited to outreach, proposed locations, and financing.
- Evaluate options for partnering with the private sector to finance, build, operate, and maintain future extensions to the ATN system.
- Evaluate options to expand to cities outside of Richmond (i.e., San Pablo, El Cerrito, Pinole, etc.) Overview of Scope of Work and Deliverables
This Section contains general tasks and deliverables that will be required from the Proposer for each Phase of the Project. The scope of work and Services shall include any additional tasks, deliverables, and milestones that the Proposer intends to undertake for each Phase of the Project to accomplish the goals, objectives, and requirements of the RFP and for the successful completion of the Project. Phases may overlap with each other.
Project Initiation
Task 1.1 Project Kick-off Meeting
- The city will hold a kick-off meeting with City staff from relevant departments and the consultant. - The meeting’s purpose is to review the scope, schedule and project budget, and to discuss administrative procedures and expectations including invoicing, quarterly reporting, and all other project information.
Task 1.2 Ongoing Staff Coordination
- Coordination between City staff and the consultant will be conducted bi-weekly, or as needed, and will be conducted either face-to-face or via virtual meeting. City staff will be invited to scheduled meetings and conference calls. These meetings and calls will ensure effective communication regarding upcoming tasks and that the Study remains on time and within budget. - Discuss, review, and provide feedback on technical aspects of the Study’s development. - Meet regularly to provide guidance on most tasks and review draft deliverables.
Stakeholder Coordination and Public Outreach
A key component of this Study is to obtain meaningful feedback from stakeholders, commuters and residents regarding the most effective approach for deploying a new transit service within the City. A significant amount of the outreach effort involves finding these potential transit riders at their places of employment and/or home neighborhoods to solicit their input. A key group the City is seeking input from are those living in disadvantaged 769
4 communities who may have fewer transportation options, lower incomes, and more environmental and health challenges.
The City understands that traditional meetings and workshops may not be the best way to reach local residents, particularly those from disadvantaged communities, and has had the most success using online formats and meeting residents at existing forums. Therefore, this Study’s outreach efforts shall be focused on bringing outreach tools to where people already are. Additionally, all public outreach information materials shall be made available in both English and Spanish.
Outreach shall be conducted throughout the Study and shall include a travel survey to provide current insights into the demographic, socioeconomic, and travel characteristics of individuals and households, enhancing our understanding of how travel relates to choices, locations, and the timing of daily activities. Community outreach shall focus on project visioning and soliciting ideas and feedback for the Study and concept design. Overall, outreach and/or meetings shall include translated materials, interpretation services, childcare, light refreshments, and other incentives for community members, as appropriate.
Task 2.1: Public Involvement Plan
- Develop a comprehensive community engagement and outreach strategy for this project (i.e. City Council presentations, focus groups, pop-up events, community meetings, stakeholder convening, surveys, interviews, etc.). The number and type of engagement opportunities should be appropriate for this study.
- Review proposed outreach tasks and adjust outreach efforts if modifications can improve access or can result in higher quality input from members of the public, particularly from disadvantaged communities.
- Each public outreach meeting shall be completed or occur in tandem with other project tasks, which involve:
o Collaborating with elected officials, city staff, partners, stakeholders and community organizations
o Executing public outreach, education and/or meeting with residents and stakeholders o Recommending effective methods to support outreach for community members (i.e., surveys, meetings, focus groups and interviews).
- Support stakeholder coordination, including tasks in group meetings, and management of stakeholder feedback/comments, etc., as appropriate
Task 2.2: Development of Outreach Tools and Implementation of Public Involvement Plan - Support the development of online engagement platforms using social media and existing outreach methods and host virtual and/or in-person town halls to inform the public about the project and gather feedback.
- Organize pop-up open houses at transit hubs like Richmond BART and Park and Ride locations during peak hours, as well as at community events such as farmers' markets. - Facilitate hands-on small group activities to gather community input and help participants contribute ideas for the project’s vision.
- Develop and release an online survey to gather feedback on the study’s report, and support with a press release or information to guide interested parties to the survey or feedback tool.
Existing Conditions and Evaluation Framework
Task 3.1: Study Area Background Research
