August 26, 2025
DISCUSSION:

Richmond Housing Authority (RHA) previously entered into a landscaping services contract with Pacific Site Management, which has expired. To ensure continuity of essential services and to secure the most competitive pricing, a new Request for Proposals (RFP) for landscaping services was released on April 24, 2025 (Attachment 1). A total of 19 prospective bidders downloaded the RFP and 6 bids in response to the RFP (Attachment 2). One bidder, BWD Gardens, was disqualified by RHA staff for not submitting a complete bid packet.

The bids were evaluated by a committee consisting of one RHA staff member, one Parks Department member, and one Community Development Department member.

The evaluation criteria for the proposals were as follows:
 Quality of Proposal: 5 points
 Approach and Understanding: 25 points
 Experience: 25 points
 References: 5 points
 Proposed Cost: 40 points
The scoring for the five remaining bidders is as follows (Attachment 3):

Nieto Landscaping 63 56 31 150 50
Brightview Landscape Services, Inc. received the highest average score of 80 points.

Their proposal highlighted their extensive industry experience, and quality control measures, including regular site assessments (Attachment 4).

The scope of services, as outlined in the RFP, includes comprehensive landscaping maintenance which encompasses Nystrom Village common areas, individual unit backyards, and the Hacienda Excess Lot. RHA currently has 35 vacant units at Nystrom Village that require ongoing maintenance, and this number may fluctuate, which will directly impact the variable portion of the contract cost.

The proposed annual fixed rates and fees from Brightview Landscape Services for the core areas are as follows:
17

Page 3 of 3 ends

August 26, 2025
Service Annual Pricing
Nystrom Village Common Areas $95,124.00
Hacienda Excess Lot $5,880.00
The total fixed cost for the two-year contract for these core services is $202,008.00 [($95,124.00 + $5,880.00) * 2 years].

Additional services for occupied and vacant backyard landscaping are offered on an asneeded basis at the following rates:

Service Rate Per Instance
Occupied Backyard Landscaping $27.00
Vacant Backyard Landscaping $20.00
To estimate the total cost including variable services, City staff assume a monthly service frequency for the current 35 vacant units and an estimate for occupied units requiring service:

Total Estimated
Variable Cost $970.00 $11,640.00 $23,280.00
Therefore, the total estimated two-year contract cost, including both fixed and estimated variable services, is approximately $230,000.00 (rounded from $225,288.00) (Attachment 5). This contract will be for an amount not to exceed $230,000 and is set to begin on August 27, 2025, and terminate on June 30, 2027.

Consequently, City staff is requesting the Board of Commissioners adopt a resolution approving a contract with Brightview Landscape Services, Inc. for landscaping services at Nystrom Village and Hacienda Excess Lot (Attachment 6).

Section I: Introduction
Purpose
The Richmond Housing Authority (RHA) is to solicit qualified firms to perform landscaping services for the RHA at the Nystrom Village Property.

The City of Richmond
The City of Richmond was incorporated in 1905 after the Santa Fe Railroad established its western terminus at Point Richmond in 1899, with ferry service to San Francisco. The City grew significantly at the onset of World War II with the opening of the Kaiser Richmond Shipyards at Richmond’s South Shoreline in 1941 (its population quadrupled from 23,600 in 1940 to over 93,700 in 1943), as tens of thousands of new residents immigrated to the City to work in the shipyards, many of whom were Black. During the decades that followed, major developments such as Marina Bay, the Hilltop Shopping Center, the Knox Freeway, and Richmond Parkway shaped the economy and geography of Richmond. Residential development continued, and thousands of Asian and Pacific Islander and Latino persons immigrated to the community.

Today, Richmond is a diverse and growing maritime, industrial, and residential community, with a population of over 110,000. The City is located on a peninsula 16 miles northeast of San Francisco, directly across the San Francisco Bay, and has a total area of 56 square miles, of which 33.7 are land area and 22.3 are water area.

Richmond Housing Authority
The RHA is a municipal corporation that is federally funded and regulated primarily under the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 as amended (42 USC 1437 et seq.). Created as a state agency in 1941 under the State Housing Authorities Law (Health & Safety Code Section 34200 et seq.), the RHA is bound by federal, state, and local laws.

The RHA serves the Richmond community by providing affordable housing and support services to low-income families, individuals, and seniors. The RHA is committed to improving the quality of life for its residents and fostering strong, vibrant communities.

Quality Control: From The Beginning
Start Up
BrightView’s transition process is a documented action plan that involves both senior and site management by the customer and BrightView. This process starts out with the overall vision and goals of the partnership.

JOB SAFETY
BrightView is the landscape partner who believes safety is much more than the gear we wear – it’s woven into the fabric of our company.

In the landscape industry, the average OSHA Recordable Incident Rate is 4.20. At BrightView, our number is consistently well below; in fact, last year our rate was 1.9. We’re sharing this because we believe that when it comes to safety, there’s no reason to be shy.

Train, Check, & Reinforce
Team members undergo extensive vetting and
training before they serve you, including E-Verify, initial and ongoing driving record checks and drug and alcohol
screenings. New hires undergo our safety orientation and must receive certification for every piece of power equipment they’ll use. We also utilize a buddy system for new hires, pairing them with more tenured team members who help them learn the ropes.

However, our focus on safety doesn’t end there. Crews participate in weekly safety meetings, which review how to avoid hazards relevant to the current season. Our management teams also participate in a weekly safety call, where they review any opportunities for improvement and strategize how to address them. Finally, we conduct periodic jobsite inspections to ensure safety best practices are always in use at your facility.

But it’s not all work and no play. We believe safety should be celebrated. That’s why we’ve created a reward system for safety compliance and make recognition of those who have exhibited good safety behaviors a key part of our morning pre-dispatch routine.

Before We Arrive
Our safety preparations begin well
before we set foot on your property.

Teams begin the day with “Stretch and
Flex”—a time for everyone to stretch
together to prevent soft tissue injuries,
review safety practices, and discuss any
potential hazards. Before leaving the
yard, we inspect our personal
protective equipment (which we
require and provide), supplies, and ensure an ample supply of water to keep the team well hydrated. Finally, we inspect our trucks and trailers to ensure they’re roadworthy and compliant with regulatory agencies. These daily inspections help us remedy and identify any deficiencies that could cause harm to our teams or the public.
88 BrightView Landscape Services 8
On Your Properties
We’re easy to spot, but that’s intentional. Our attire is designed to make it easy to identify who is part our crew and enhance visibility for your safety and ours. In addition to our company-issued PPE, our crews are fully uniformed in seasonally appropriate gear, which always includes name badges and safety vests. Our vehicles are logoed and feature our distinctive livery, while cones are used to mark safety zones.

However, what’s not visible is one of the features we’re most proud of: our Stop Work Authority. The Stop Work Authority empowers every team member to take safety into their own hands. Crew members are encouraged to stop a job if they personally feel unsafe, or witness something that could put a teammate or the public in peril.

Continuous Improvement
Though our OSHA incident rate is significantly better than the industry average, there are always opportunities to improve. Hazards, near misses, and concerns are always submitted to our Branch Safety Leaders for review and correction, if needed. In the event of an injury, a root cause analysis is conducted to ensure future incidences are prevented.

We’re proud of our safety program, but that’s not the only reason we’re sharing these details. We’re providing this information because we believe it should be readily available to you, to aid in your selection process. The patients who entrust you with their care have confidence they’ll be in good hands. We want you to have that same confidence in us.

Additional Safety Measures Include
• New Hire Safety Orientation
• New Hires Wear Orange Vests for Better Oversight
• Extensive Driver Safety Certification Program
• Certification Required to Use All Power Equipment
• Take 2-Two Inspection at Each Job Every Day
• Mandatory Weekly Field Crew Safety Meetings
• Reward System for Safety Compliance
• Weekly Management Safety Calls
• Certified in Traffic Control

STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:

The Settlement Agreement (Amended Judgment)
ordered the sale of “Development Areas” constituting 30 percent of the land area of Point Molate. The Judgment
states, “Development Areas” shall mean the four
development areas shown on Figure 6, Land Use Areas,
Point Molate Reuse Plan or any parcel subsequently
designated or subdivided from those four Development
Areas under Amended Judgment.

First, the City and then the Tribe was given the
opportunity to find a developer. On June 21, 2022, three years ago, when selling to the Tribe, the staff report
made the following recommendation:
“The City should initiate the process of determining if there is a public or nonprofit entity willing to accept conveyance of the open space and make a commitment
to open it for public use, manage it and maintain it at no cost to the City of Richmond. At least three entities have expressed such interest (1) East Bay Regional Parks
District, (2) John Muir Land Trust and (3) Trust for Public Land.”
After some period of exploring possible developers, the Tribe focused on the East Bay Regional Park District
(“District”). The District obtained a commitment through Senator Skinner for a $36M grant. Based on such
commitment, the Parties being the District, Tribe, and City negotiated a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) which was approved by the City Council on July 12, 2024. California State
Coastal Conservancy (“Conservancy”) approved the
funding and the Tribe and District approved a purchase
and sale agreement with an expected escrow closing on
August 22, 2025 or during the week of August 25, 2025.

One of the terms of the LOI was for the City to provide maintenance and security services for the District for up to one year at a cost not exceeding $400,000.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: APPROVE entering into an Agreement for Short Term Maintenance and Security of Property at Point Molate with East Bay Regional Park District and allow for execution by the Mayor with any final technical changes made by
the City Attorney - City Attorney's Office (Dave Aleshire 510-620-6509)
DISCUSSION:

This staff report provides a brief history of (i) the acquisition of the Point Molate Property, (ii) the lawsuit and settlement with Upstream and Guidiville Tribe pursuant to the Amended 135

Page 3 of 7 ends

01337.0021 2033014.2
Judgment; (iii) the reasons the City did not close the sale to Winehaven Legacy LLC pursuant to the Disposition and Development Agreement; (iv) the directive of the Council on May 24, 2022 concurrent with the sale to the Tribe to find a non-profit entity for conveyance for park and open space; (v) development of the LOI with the Tribe and District, and (vi) now the successful negotiation of the Maintenance Agreement with District.

PROPERTY HISTORY
In 2003, the US Navy transferred certain real property consisting of 270 acres of upland and 134 acres of tidal and submerged real property (“Property”) to the City of Richmond (“City”). Approximately 85% of the Property was transferred in 2003 and the remaining 41 acres were transferred in 2010. In 2004, the City and Guidiville Rancheria of California and Upstream Point Molate LLC (jointly “Tribe/Upstream” or “Tribe”) executed that certain Land Disposition Agreement which was subsequently amended (“LDA”). In 2012, Tribe/Upstream filed a lawsuit in Federal court against the City alleging, among other things, that the City breached that LDA and the covenant of good faith and fair dealing and for unjust enrichment. In November 2019, after 7 long years of expensive litigation, the lawsuit was finally amicably resolved by the parties pursuant to that certain “Amended Judgment” issued by the Federal Court (“Amended Judgment”). The Amended Judgment was entered by the Court on November 21, 2019 and is binding on the Property.

JUDGMENT REQUIREMENTS
The Amended Judgment mandated that 270 acres of upland area, thirty percent (30%) was to be “development areas” and seventy percent (70%, approximately 194 acres) was to be open space. The Judgment also defined four (4) areas within the Property as “Development Areas.”
The City was provided the opportunity to market the Development Areas with an outside sale date being the earlier of (i) 30 months from the Effective Date; or (ii) 24 months after issuing the last discretionary approval.

If the City successfully sold the Property, “net” revenues from the sale were to be split equally between (i) the City and (ii) Tribe/Upstream. “Net” revenues are generally determined as the gross sales price less all costs incurred by the City with respect to the Sale.

If the City did not consummate the sale of the Development Areas by the Outside Sale Date, Tribe/Upstream had the option to acquire all or any portion of the Development Areas from the City for $100 per Development Area (for a maximum amount of $400).

When the Option was exercised by Tribe/Upstream, Tribe/Upstream was thereafter required to market and sell the Property within 5 years. Tribe/Upstream were allowed to pursue alternate development of the Property (or portions thereof) although new approvals were subject to the City’s land use discretion.

Upon Tribe/Upstream ultimately selling the Property, Tribe/Upstream were obligated to transfer 50% of the Net Proceeds to the City.

WINEHAVEN DDA
The principal goal of the Amended Judgment was to induce the sale of the Property, 136

Page 4 of 7 ends

01337.0021 2033014.2
preferably to a capable developer, and use the proceeds to satisfy Tribe/Upstream claims.

This occurred on September 30, 2020, when the City executed that certain Disposition and Development Agreement (“DDA”) with Winehaven Legacy, LLC (“Developer” or “SunCal” to avoid confusion with Winehaven district) for the sale of all the Development Areas for $45M (“SunCal Sale Price”).

Concurrently with the DDA, the City and Developer also executed that certain Development Agreement dated October 20, 2020, which was recorded against the Property on October 23, 2020, as Instrument No. 2020-247749 in the Official Records of Contra Costa County. The proposed project anticipated 1,452 new residential units plus a mix of uses in rehabilitated historic buildings and 250,000 square feet of new construction for mixed use development on the Property.

Pursuant to the Amended Judgment, the outside sale date for closing the sale to Developer was May 21, 2022.

Pursuant to the DDA, Developer was required to reimburse the City for all costs which it incurred including, but not limited to, attorney fees, reports, processing fees, etc.as set forth in the DDA (“Reimbursement Amounts”). It has not done so and is now a part of the current litigation between Developer and City.

DEVELOPER DEFAULT; GENERAL FUND IMPACT
The DDA included a tentative financing plan, which included the proposal for a Community Facilities District (CFD) to finance the extensive public facilities and services of police and fire needed for the development. The CFD was intended to prevent the Project from having an impact on the General Fund. Extensive finance projections and studies were prepared. The Developer made changes to try and eliminate financial impact on the General Fund. On March 18, 2022, the City Council concluded the impact could not be eliminated and disapproved the CFD. Thereafter, under the Amended Judgment, the City Council proceeded to sell the property to Guidiville Tribe/Upstream through its entity Point Molate Futures (“PMF”). This sale of the 81.56 acres “Development Parcels” was consummated on August 29, 2022. (The City retains ownership of the open space [194 acres] – 70% of the site.) The Developer sought an injunction to block the sale but the Judge refused to grant it due to the fact the Developer was unlikely to succeed.

CEQA LITIGATION SUCCEEDS AND INVALIDATES DEVELOPER ENTITLEMENTS In September, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 97-20 and Ordinance Nos. 22-20 and 23-20, which together certified the Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (“SEIR”) in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and approved the land use approvals for the Point Molate Mixed Use Project (“Project”), consisting of a General Plan Amendment, Rezoning, Disposition and Development Agreement, Development Agreement, Design Guidelines, including a Master Planned Area Plan and Historic Conservation Plan, Vesting Tentative Tract Map, Conditional Use Permit, and Major Design Review (the “Entitlements”).

In October 2020, Point Molate Alliance, SPRAWLDEF, Citizens for East Shore Parks, North Coast Rivers Alliance, and other community groups and individuals filed two related Petitions for Writ of Mandate challenging the City’s September 2020 certification of the SEIR and land use approvals for the Project. Raising numerous claims and causes of act, the Petitions asserted causes of action asserting violations of CEQA (the “Alliance 137

Page 5 of 7 ends

01337.0021 2033014.2
Litigation”).

The First District Court of Appeal issued a Final Opinion and Order Modifying Opinion and Denying Rehearing on November 27, 2023, directing the trial court to enter a new judgment and issue a peremptory writ of mandate directing the City to set aside its certification of the final SEIR and the Entitlements.

In compliance with the Opinion and Order of the Court of Appeal, the Superior Court on January 22, 2024, entered a new Judgment and Writ of Mandate ordering the City to:

1. Set aside and vacate its approvals of the Project, including Resolution No. 97-20 and Ordinance Nos. 22-20 and 23-20 adopted on September 8 and 15, 2020, respectively.

2. Decertify the SEIR for the Project (SCH No. 2019070447) for the purpose of addressing the deficiencies identified in the Court of Appeal’s Opinion and rescind the Pt. Molate entitlements; and

3. File a Return to the Writ within 120 days of the Judgment, which Return shall specify the action(s) taken to comply with the terms of the Writ.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA PROVIDES CRITICAL ASSISTANCE
Once the Tribe acquired title through its wholly owned entity, PMF, it began a process of contacting various development entities, and the City received inquiries from these entities. The City also received inquiries from several non-profit entities consistent with the direction on June 21, 2022. PMF eventually decided to negotiate with the East Bay Regional Park District (“Park District” or “District”). The Park District is a system of parklands in Alameda and Contra Costa counties. The system comprises 73 parks spanning across 126,809 acres; 1,330 miles of trails; 55 miles of shoreline. The Park District manages and preserves natural and cultural resources for all to enjoy and protect.

The possibility of the Park District acquiring the Property was greatly enhanced from the State’s actions when it was assured that $36M was reserved in the State’s budget for acquisition and development under Senator Skinner’s SB 179.

TERMS OF THE LOI
The LOI was a nonbinding statement of intentions among three parties. PMF or Tribe as Seller, the District as Buyer, and the City as a facilitator (giving up a financial interest and securing District as Operator of the Property).

Important terms of the LOI include the following:

1. Property. Park District acquires all Development Parcels including Winehaven.

2. Federal Judgment. At Closing, Federal Judgment is dissolved and of no further force and effect and all claims waived and released.

3. Due Diligence; Closing. Parties develop Purchase and Sale Agreement and perform due diligence with Closing before the end of the year.

4. Coastal Conservancy. The State agency must approve the transaction and authorize disbursement of $36M by November 21, 2024 pursuant to SB 179. 138

Page 6 of 7 ends

01337.0021 2033014.2

5. Maintenance Agreement. City and Park District will enter maintenance/security agreement whereby City continues maintenance and security services for up to one year after Closing at a cost not to exceed $400,000, to allow ramp up of District Services.

6. Remediation. Upon Closing Park District will be responsible for all ongoing environmental remediation activity. City shall not be responsible for remediation of hazardous materials or for environmental conditions on the Property after District takes title.

7. Good Faith Deposit. District deposits $1M into escrow within ten (10) days after execution with $250,000 immediately released and non-refundable.

The remainder non-refundable when (i) the State approves the appraisal, (ii) the District releases conditions, and (iii) Federal Court has motions to modify revenue split to become effective on Closing. Additionally, District must reimburse Tribe $1M to pay legal expenses of transaction.

8. City District Cooperation. District with City Stakeholders (Richmond residents and those with long-time involvement with Point Molate) and City Staff and departments in project planning, and keeping them involved at key milestones.

Note: The City has been spending up to $1 million annually on maintenance and security, including environmental remediation, at Pt. Molate. Other expenses have included preservation of historical structures.

SALE OF PROPERTY TO DISTRICT
The Tribe and District entered into extensive negotiations and concluded a Purchase Sale Agreement in October 2024, which was approved by California State Coastal Conservancy on November 21, 2024, then opened escrow and the transaction is expected to close on August 22, 2025.

MAINTENANCE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
The most significant unfulfilled term of the LOI is now the finalization of the Maintenance Security Agreement between the District and City, which is the subject of this proposed action. The principal terms of that Agreement are as follows:

1. City to pay for maintenance and site security for one year to a cost cap of $400,000.

2. District to indemnify City for remediation of transferred property and receive remaining Navy funds which are likely insufficient. Transferred property includes Winehaven Historic.

3. No new contracts on Property other than the landscaping and security contracts.

Those contractors will incorporate indemnities of the District at District expense.

4. Reciprocal license agreements to enter properties with notice and repairing any damage.

5. City maintenance standard will not exceed current standards but will mutually inspect property to see if improvements warranted with any upgrades paid for by District.

6. Reasonable measures to prevent dumping and regular removal of debris and trash. 139

Page 7 of 7 ends

01337.0021 2033014.2

7. Maintenance improvements including benches, tables, signage, etc.

8. Take all actions necessary to reduce the risk of fire and correct unsafe conditions.

9. Collaboration on a long-term maintenance agreement.

10.Removal of City property stored on Property.

11.Maintenance of City Insurance with District assuming insurance obligation thereafter.

12.Dispute resolution process.

All the foregoing suggests that the public entities will have to stay intimately involved for years to come to shepherd this property to realize its full public potential.

FUTURE ACTIONS
Since June 21, 2022 tremendous progress has been made toward altering the future of the Pt. Molate Property, still significant decisions remain concerning the Property and the City. These include:

1. Remediation Plan. While formerly the City was responsible for the remediation efforts, with the sale to District, there is a need for a joint effort to pursue a remediation program, given the continued ownership of District and City. A critical component of this is for District to develop its park development plan so that the remediation standard can be developed.

2. Park Development Plan. The LOI provides some City participation, but the effort by the District is likely to take a year or more.

3. Winehaven Historic Preservation Issues. This becomes the responsibility of District, but the City’s regulatory measures play into this.

4. Developer Litigation. While the City has initially prevailed on the basis of the entitlements being lost through litigation, the matter is on appeal.

CONCLUSION
It has taken some remarkable events for this transaction to come together, considering the community activists and those dealing with the San Francisco Bay, its unique and world-famous locations and resources. It is not surprising how long this has taken. For several decades many have been consumed with trying to put together a formula for the preservation of Pt. Molate. The dedication of many to this mission is illustrated by the fate of some of the prior development proposals and by the State of California and Senator Skinner and others who advocated for the large infusion of resources when the need arose to acquire the Property from the Tribe for the general public benefit.

From 1942 to 1995 the United States of America, acting by and through the Department of the Navy (“Navy”) owned and operated a naval fuel depot, including appurtenant Pier and Navy Fuel structures over State Public Trust lands, on approximately 412 acres of real property located on the southwest side of the San Pablo Peninsula in the City of Richmond (“Point Molate”), depicted as the entire color overlay area on the “Map of Point Molate” attached hereto as Exhibit A.

B. City/Navy ECTA. City and Navy are parties to an Early Transfer Cooperative Agreement dated September 8, 2008 (“ETCA”) under which Navy provided approximately $28,500,000 to City to fund cleanup and remediation of Point Molate and City committed to take certain remedial action under RWQCB Order No. R2-2011-0087 (“RWQCB Order”) to achieve Regulatory Closure of the Area Covered by Environmental Services or ACES (as such terms are defined in the ETCA).

C. Property. Approximately 330 acres of the Point Molate property is now owned by the City of Richmond and is shown in blue and green on Exhibit A (“City Property”); the balance of Point Molate comprising approximately 82 acres and shown in orange on Exhibit A (“Property”) is currently owned by Point Molate Futures, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“PMF”). The City Property and the Property are depicted in the “Map of Point Molate.” The federally recognized tribe Guidiville Rancheria of California (“Tribe”) wholly owns PMF.

PMF acquired fee title to the Property from City pursuant to the terms of a negotiated judgment, as amended on November 21, 2019, issued by the United States District Court, Northern District of California (“Amended Judgment”) in Case No. CV12-1326YGR (“Tribe Lawsuit”). Under the Amended Judgment first the City, then the Tribe, had the opportunity to develop the Property with City and Tribe sharing equally in the proceeds of a sale. The City conveyed the Property to PMF in August of 2022.

D. LOI. After the announcement of a State Grant of $36M for acquisition of the important SF Bay Property, the Tribe became interested in selling the Property to the District. In July 2024, after many months of negotiations, City, District and the Tribe executed a non-binding letter of intent (“LOI”) establishing the principles upon which this Agreement is based, including the City’s maintenance obligations during the Maintenance Period as provided herein.

E. District/Tribe Agreement. District, PMF and Tribe are parties to a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated November 1, 2024, as amended by that certain First Amendment dated 141
01337.0021 2025624.5 2
January 14, 2025, Second Amendment dated June 25, 2025, and Reinstatement and Third Amendment dated July 17, 2025 under which District, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, has agreed to purchase the Property from PMF with Tribe’s consent. The Purchase and Sale Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, is referred to herein as the “District/Tribe Agreement”. The District/Tribe Agreement provides, among other things, that District’s obligation to consummate the purchase of the Property is contingent upon District entering into a maintenance and security agreement (referred to in the District/Tribe Agreement as the operation and maintenance agreement) with City on terms acceptable to District in its sole discretion.

F. City Purpose. The purchase price for the Property under the District/Tribe Agreement is $40 Million, $36 Million of which is to be funded by the grant for open space conservation through the Coastal Conservancy Commission of the State of California. To accomplish the purchase, the City is willing to relinquish its 50% share of the purchase price proceeds as contemplated by the Amended Judgment. City is agreeable to this for these reasons:
(i) City favors the park and open space uses for the long-term use of the Property; (ii) City seeks to have the Amended Judgment fully satisfied; and (iii) City wishes to provide more recreational opportunities for its underserved population. The City also agrees to assist District in its transition to ownership by continuing to perform its maintenance responsibilities for up to one year, but at a cost not to exceed $400,000. City also desires to begin discussions with the District regarding the possibility of establishing long-term joint maintenance protocols for efficient and cost-effective maintenance of the entirety of Point Molate, including the Property and the City Property.

G. District Purpose. District seeks City assistance in transitioning Property operation and management services over time so that District has adequate time to ramp up its Property management capabilities, identify appropriate District staff to undertake those functions, and approve a budget for funding the costs of such services.

H. Summary of Agreement. The Parties now desire to enter into this Agreement to, among other things, set forth certain rights and obligations of the Parties in the event the District/Tribe Closing is consummated, including the Parties’ respective rights and obligations following the closing of the purchase and sale transaction (“District/Tribe Closing”) pursuant to the District/Tribe Agreement with regard to (a) short term maintenance and security of the Property, (b) pursuit of regulatory closure by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, San Francisco Bay Region (“RWQCB”) of certain Installation Restoration (“IR”) areas located fully or partially within the Property, with the costs associated with achieving regulatory closure of IR areas located partly within the Property and partly within the City Property equitably allocated between City and District, (c) compliance with certain ongoing environmental-related institutional and engineering controls applicable to both the Property and the City Property, with the costs of such compliance work equitably allocated between District and City, and (d) exploration of whether security and maintenance of the entirety of Point Molate, including the Property and City Property, should be jointly administered on a long-term basis to achieve cost savings for the benefit of City and District.

NOW, THEREFORE, City and District hereby agree as follows:

A G R E E M E N T

1. Incorporation; Effective Date.

1.1 Incorporation of Preamble, Recitals and Exhibits. The preamble paragraph, Recitals and Exhibits, and all defined terms contained therein, are hereby incorporated into this Agreement as if set forth in full.

1.2 Effective Date. Except for City’s obligations under Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5 below, which shall be effective as of the Reference Date, the “Effective Date” of this Agreement shall be the date on which District closes escrow for purchase of the Property pursuant to the District/Tribe Agreement. If the closing of the purchase and sale transaction has not occurred by December 31, 2025 or such later date as the parties may mutually agree, then this Agreement shall terminate and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder.

2. City Disclaimers, Representations and Warranties.

2.1 City Disclaimers.
a. To assist the District in its acquisition of the Property from the Tribe, City has agreed to continue its existing Maintenance and Security Services during the Maintenance Period (defined below). These Maintenance and Security Services are described in Section 4 below. City does not have a duty, and expressly disclaims any obligation, to provide any other services other than as provided herein.
b. While City once owned the Property, the Property was conveyed by City to the Tribe in August 2022. By this Agreement, as an accommodation to the District, City will provide certain specified services, but makes no representation or warranty of any kind concerning the condition of the Property, the suitability of the Property or any structures thereon for District’s intended purposes, or the scope of legal uses permitted on the Property. The only representations that City has made are set forth in Section 2.2(a) and 2.2(b).

2.2 City Cooperation and Representations. City shall cooperate as follows:
a. Access to City Records. City has made available to the District access to all owner records and agreements without restriction and without requiring access to Public Records Act provisions. City will continue providing such cooperation. b. Persons with Rights of Possession. The Amended and Restated License Agreement (“Nematode License Agreement”) between City and Nematode Holdings, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Nematode”) dated December 6, 2016, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Nematode Restated License Agreement dated February 20, 2018, has expired and is now a month-to-month license. At District’s request, the City has signed an acknowledgment that this interest passed by operation of law at the time of City’s transfer to PMF.
143
01337.0021 2025624.5 4

3. City’s Covenants and Obligations Prior to the District/Tribe Closing.

3.1 No New Contracts; Termination of Contracts. From and after the Reference Date, City shall not enter into any new contracts or agreements related to the operation and management of the Property or the improvements thereon (each individually a “Contract” and collectively, the “Contracts”) without District’s prior written consent, which District may withhold or condition in its sole reasonable discretion. District requests that City amend City’s Contract with Allied Universal Protection (security services) and City’s Contract with Forester and Kroeger (landscaping services) (each, individually, a “Contractor”) to require such Contractors to indemnify and hold District harmless. City will endeavor to accomplish this without cost for District. If either Contractor imposes a cost increase upon City due to the requested amendments described herein, City shall provide District with advance written notice of the increase within five (5) business days after City’s receipt of notice of the price increase, accompanied by supporting documentation reasonably acceptable to the District. District shall have the right to approve or disapprove the increase in its reasonable discretion, and shall provide City written notice of its approval or disapproval within ten (10) days after receipt of City’s notice and supporting documentation. If District disapproves the cost increase, City shall have no obligation to pursue the requested amendments described herein.

3.2 Intentionally Deleted.

3.3 Intentionally Deleted.

3.4 License Agreement. Within 30 days following the Effective Date, the Parties shall execute two originals of a License Agreement in substantially the form attached as Exhibit F to (i) allow City to enter the Property from time to time as reasonably necessary to access the City Property in connection with performance of maintenance, inspections and related work on the City Property, and (ii) to allow District to enter the City Property from time to time as reasonably necessary to gain access to the Property in connection with performance of maintenance, inspections and related work on the District Property.

4. City’s Maintenance & Security Related Obligations Following the District Tribe Closing. To assist the District in its acquisition of the Property from the Tribe, City has agreed to continue its existing maintenance/securing services for a 12-month period beginning on the Effective Date and expiring on the first anniversary thereof (“Maintenance Period”). These services are described below. City does not have a duty to provide any other services other than as provided herein.

4.1 City Maintenance and Security Obligations. For the Maintenance Period, City, at its expense, subject to the provisions of Section 4.3 below, shall provide security for the Property and maintain the Property in good order, and in the condition in which it currently exists, and in compliance with the following additional standards, each as applicable (collectively, the “Maintenance and Security Services”):
a. Maintenance, repair, and replacement of fences, gates, and other barriers separating the Property from the City Property and from public rights-of-way as reasonably necessary to ensure that unauthorized persons cannot enter the Property, with any 144
01337.0021 2025624.5 5
damage creating a risk of unauthorized entry to be repaired as soon as practicable provided that installation of any new fencing shall be addressed in accordance with the procedures in Section

4.2 below;
b. Regular removal of all debris, trash and refuse as necessary to ensure that there is no unreasonable accumulation thereof;
c. Implementing reasonable preventative measures to deter and prevent the dumping or other disposal in, on, under or about the Property of trash, debris, refuse, Hazardous Material or any other materials, including but not limited to materials that are unsightly or could pose a hazard to human health or safety, native vegetation or wildlife, or the environment; d. Maintenance of existing directional and safety signage in good condition and repair, with repair or replacement of damaged items to be completed as soon as reasonably practicable;
e. Maintenance of benches, picnic tables, and trash containers as reasonably necessary to keep such items in good condition and repair, with repair or replacement of damaged items to be completed as soon as reasonably practicable; f. Maintaining the agreement between City and Allied Universal Protection or a comparable agreement with another mutually acceptable Security Company (the “Security Contract”) for security services in full force and effect, and supervising the performance of the contract in accordance with its terms;
g. Ensuring that all security systems on the Property are in good working order, and ensuring that any necessary repairs to such systems are made as soon as reasonably practicable;
h. The City has a system for dealing with issues concerning the Property, including persons loitering on the Property, where complaints arise and “post orders” are issued by the Captain to the contractor, caretaker, or other responsible person and this system shall be continued;
i. Taking all actions necessary and reasonably appropriate to reduce the risk of fire and correct or provide warnings of any unsafe conditions or hazards on the Property, including implementing and maintaining reasonable safeguards for safety and protection, including posting danger signs, installing barricades, and providing other warnings as necessary or appropriate;
j. Removal of any graffiti as soon as reasonably practicable; k.

01337.0021 2025624.5 6
For avoidance of doubt, City’s maintenance obligation is to maintain the Property and improvements thereon to their condition existing as of the Effective Date and City is not required to improve the Property or replace existing improvements or install any new improvements. Replacement of existing improvements and installation of any new fencing or other preventative security improvements shall be undertaken in accordance with Section 4.2 below.

4.2 Additional Repair and Security Work. Within thirty (30) days after District/Tribe Closing the Parties shall mutually inspect the Property and identify (i) all minor repairs and preventive measures which should be performed; (ii) minor repairs and new preventive security measures, which may include installation of new fencing, that would mutually benefit the Property and City Property, a plan for performing such work (including identification of the lead contracting party and a schedule and budget for such work), and an equitable allocation of the costs of such mutually beneficial repairs and preventative security measures between City and District; and (iii) any upgrades which District desires and the City is willing to perform on behalf of District and at District expense. The Parties shall develop a schedule for the performance of the repairs. If the repair or replacement cannot be reasonably accomplished within a reasonable period, then City shall be allowed additional time as is reasonably necessary to complete the repair or replacement so long as the City commences efforts to undertake the repair or replacement work within the reasonable period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the repair or replacement to completion.

4.3 Cost Cap on City’s Maintenance and Security Obligations. City shall bear all costs associated with performance of the maintenance- and security-related obligations described in Section 4.1 (“City Costs”) up to a maximum amount of $400,000 (“Cost Cap”). At least fifteen (15) days prior to the District/Tribe Closing, City shall prepare and submit to District a detailed budget of expected City Costs for the entirety of the Maintenance Period. City shall notify District and obtain District’s written approval prior to incurring any City Costs that would cause City to exceed the Cost Cap. Following the District/Tribe Closing, City shall provide a report to District every 60 days showing the City Costs incurred for the preceding 60-day period, the total City Costs incurred from the District/Tribe Closing to the date of the report, and the anticipated Maintenance and Security Services to be performed and associated City Costs anticipated to be incurred over the next 60 days. In the event City projects it will reach the Cost Cap within 60 days following the date of the report, the Parties shall meet and confer to discuss(i) potential modifications to the scope of the Maintenance and Security Services and District’s potential reimbursement of a portion of the City Costs in excess of the Cost Cap, or (ii) termination of this Agreement prior to expiration of the Maintenance Period and transition of the Maintenance and Security Services to the District.

4.4 Potential Collaboration on Long Term Maintenance. During the Maintenance Term, City and District shall meet and confer and explore the possibility of establishing long-term maintenance protocols for the entirety of Point Molate, including the City Property and the Property, and/or achieving efficiencies by jointly retaining one or more contractors to provide security, vegetation management, or other maintenance-related services at the Property and the City Property after the Maintenance Term expires and equitably allocating the costs of such services between City and District. If the City and District reach agreement on one or more of the matters described in this Section 4.4, the Parties shall enter into an amendment of this Agreement or a separate written agreement setting forth the terms of such agreement. 146
01337.0021 2025624.5 7

4.5 City Trailers and Equipment. The Parties acknowledge that City is currently storing on the Property four 40-foot trailers (“City Trailers”) as well as certain Cityrelated equipment and personal property (collectively, “City Equipment”) within Building Six.

Prior to the expiration of the Maintenance Term, City shall remove all City Trailers from the Property and all City Equipment from Building Six and deliver possession of Building Six to District broom clean and free of debris. City shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless District against and from any and all claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) to the extent arising from City’s use or occupancy of the City Trailers and Building Six or from any activity, work or other thing done, permitted or suffered by City in or about the location of the Trailers or Building Six. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, City’s indemnity obligation shall not extend to claims arising from the active negligence or willful misconduct of District.

5. City Insurance Obligations.

5.1 Fire and Extended Coverage Insurance. City shall maintain in effect up to the date of the District/Tribe Closing all fire and extended coverage insurance or joint selfinsurance policies covering the Property and the improvements thereon in the amounts, with companies and with such carriers as are currently in effect. From and after the date of the District/Tribe Closing, District shall be solely responsible for obtaining any fire and extended coverage insurance or joint self-insurance policies with respect to the Property and the improvements thereon. City may meet its insurance obligations under this Section 5.1 via a joint self-insurance pool comprised of City and other local governmental entities.

City shall furnish District with a certificate of insurance evidencing the required insurance coverage and a duly executed endorsement evidencing such additional insured status. To the extent provided by the insurance carrier, the insurance policies shall be endorsed to notify District of any material change, cancellation or termination of the coverage at least thirty (30) days in advance of the effective date of any such material change, cancellation or termination. Coverage provided hereunder by City shall be primary insurance and shall not be contributing with any 147
01337.0021 2025624.5 8
insurance, self-insurance or joint self-insurance maintained by District, and the policy shall so provide. Any insurance, self-insurance or joint self-insurance maintained by District shall be excess of and shall not contribute with the insurance required to be maintained by City. The insurance policies shall contain a waiver of subrogation for the benefit of District.

The contract amendments shall be substantially in the form of Exhibits D and E attached hereto and incorporated herein. See Section 3.2 with regard to costs associated therewith.

7. District Post-Closing Obligations. To the extent District desires to undertake work of park development on the Property following District’s purchase thereof, District planning staff, including the District’s dedicated Office of Equity, will engage with the City’s Community Development Director and community stakeholders (collectively “City and Community”) to ensure a diverse and representative range of community voices are engaged throughout the development process and otherwise advance equitable park access. District’s community engagement efforts shall include: (i) inviting City and Community Groups to engage in the park planning process, including during preparation of an initial scope of work for the proposed park development; (ii) keeping the City and Community Groups apprised of key development project milestones, and specifically inviting them to comment at District public meetings; (iii) providing updates to the City of Richmond Recreation and Parks Commission, Planning Commission, a community advisory group formed by the City Council (or the City Council if no advisory group is formed) at key milestones in the planning and development process; and (iv) providing City staff the opportunity to participate in project stakeholder groups.

8.1 Breach of Obligations. If a Party fails to perform its obligations hereunder, the non-defaulting Party shall have the right to notify the defaulting Party of its breach in writing which notice shall specify the deficiencies and actions required to be taken by the defaulting Party 148
01337.0021 2025624.5 9
to cure such deficiencies. The defaulting Party shall correct, remedy or cure the deficiency within thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice; provided, however, if the non-defaulting Party’s written notification states that the problem is urgent and relates to the public health and safety, then the defaulting Party shall have forty-eight (48) hours to rectify the problem, provided, however, if the problem cannot reasonably be rectified within such 48-hour period, the defaulting Party shall be allowed additional time as is reasonably necessary to rectify the problem so long as the defaulting Party commences efforts to rectify the problem within the 48-hour period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such efforts to completion. If the defaulting Party fails to cure the breach within the applicable time set forth in this Section 8.1, then subject to compliance with Section 8.2 below, the non-defaulting Party shall have the remedies described in Section 8.3.

8.2 Dispute Resolution. Prior to any commencing litigation, the non-defaulting Party shall inform the defaulting Party either orally or in writing of the alleged default and request a meeting to meet and confer over the alleged default and how it might be corrected. The Parties through their designated representatives shall meet and confer within ten (10) calendar days of the request therefor in an effort to reach a mutually acceptable resolution, but after a minimum period of negotiation of at least ten (10) days following the initial meeting, either Party may terminate the meet and confer process and pursue litigation.

The non-defaulting Party’s remedies in the event of a Default by the defaulting Party shall include the right to correct the Default itself at the defaulting Party’s expense, the right to seek specific performance or injunctive relief, and right to all other remedies available at law or equity, provided that neither Party shall be entitled to recover monetary damages or any punitive, consequential, or special damages, whatsoever.

FORM OF SECURITY CONTRACT AMENDMENT
AMENDMENT 2 PROVISIONS (GENERAL CONDITIONS AND INSURANCE

PROVISION)

1. The General Conditions (Exhibit D) of the Original Contract is hereby amended to require that Contractor add the East Bay Regional Park District as an indemnified party. Paragraph 15 of Exhibit D of the Original Contract is hereby amended as follows, with deletions shown in strikethrough and additions shown in double underlined text:
“(b) If this Contract is not a contract for design professional services subject to California Civil Code Section 2782.8(a) or Contractor is not a design professional as defined in California Civil Code Section 2782.8(b)(2), Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City, East Bay Regional Parks District (“District”), and its and their respective officers, agents, employees and volunteers from any and all claims, suits, or actions of every name, kind and description, brought forth on account of injuries to or death of any person or damage to property arising from or connected with the willful misconduct, negligent acts, errors or omissions, ultra-hazardous activities, activities giving rise to strict liability, or defects in design by Contractor or any person directly or indirectly employed by, or acting as, the agent for Contractor in the performance of this Contract, including the concurrent or successive passive negligence of the City, District, or either of its their officers, agents, employees or volunteers.
(c) It is understood that the duty of Contractor to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code. Contractor shall be obligated to defend, in all legal, equitable, administrative, or special proceedings, with counsel approved by the City, the City, District, and its and their respective officers, agents, employees, and volunteers, immediately upon tender to Contractor of the claim in any form or at any stage of an action or proceeding, whether or not liability is established. 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.”

If the Claims filed against Indemnitees allege negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct on the part of Contractor, Contractor shall have no right of reimbursement against Indemnitees for the costs of defense even if negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct is not found on the part of Contractor. Contractor shall not have any obligations to indemnify Indemnitees if the loss or damage is found to have resulted solely from the negligence or the willful misconduct of the City or District.
