The Booker T. Anderson Community Center officially reopened to the public on June 6, 2024. All construction activities were completed in accordance with the approved plans, specifications, and City of Richmond standards.

Subject: Contract with Xebec Data Corporation for Conversion of Electronic Data to an Importable Format for the Utility Bills
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The proposed total three-year not to exceed contract cost of $30,000, with the option of two one-year extensions of $10,000 per year is included within the approved Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Public Works budget. The expenditure
will be budgeted accordingly in subsequent fiscal year
budgets (Account Code: 01231031-400201).

PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:

None.

STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:

The City of Richmond requires specialized data services to continue receiving, processing, and analyzing utility billing information from Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E).

This process ensures accurate, timely, and cost-efficient handling of energy billing across all City departments.

The City’s existing contract with Xebec Data Corporation expired on September 30, 2025. City staff are requesting approval to retroactively extend and renew the
agreement to maintain uninterrupted service.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: ADOPT a resolution to APPROVE a sole-source contract with Xebec Data Corporation for conversion of electronic data to an importable format, for a three-year term, in an amount not to exceed $30,000, with an option to extend
for two additional one-year terms, in an amount up to
$10,000 per year – Public Works Department (Daniel
Chavarria 510-620-5478/Ana Crespin 510-307-8095).

AGENDA
REPORT

Page 2 of 3 ends

November 18, 2025
Since May 2010, the City of Richmond has partnered with Xebec Data Corporation, the only firm specializing in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) for converting utility billing data from Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) into a format compatible with the City’s Energy Manager Software System. In 2018, the service was upgraded to a web-based platform, improving automation, data accuracy, and security.

The City receives approximately 350–400 utility invoices each month from PG&E for facilities, streetlights, and other infrastructure. Without Xebec’s automated EDI service, staff would be required to manually process each invoice — a time-consuming and error-prone process.

The Xebec ECLynx Web EDI solution automates the entire billing process by:
 Receiving and translating PG&E billing files (EDI 810s) into a readable format for the City’s Energy Manager software.
 Automatically verifying invoice accuracy, flagging any billing discrepancies, mismatched totals, or unusual usage patterns.
 Generating key reports that allow departments to monitor and manage energy use and costs.
 Creating PDF bill images to replace discontinued paper statements.  Delivering all data securely via SFTP for direct integration into the City’s financial and payment systems, enabling electronic payment processing and eliminating paper requisitions, purchase orders, and manual checks.

This system provides daily automation, transparency, and reliability, significantly reducing manual workload and ensuring financial accuracy.

Key Deliverables
The Xebec ECLynx Web EDI system provides several essential deliverables that ensure efficient, accurate, and transparent management of the City’s utility billing data.

These outputs allow staff to easily import, review, and validate PG&E invoices while maintaining complete digital records for reference and analysis.  Energy Manager Import File: Allows seamless upload into the City’s Energy Manager system.
 Summary Report: Summarizes all processed bills and total charges.  Error Report: Identifies discrepancies or abnormal billing activity.  PDF Bill Images: Provide visual records of utility bills for reference and archiving.

Operational Benefits
The implementation of Xebec’s automated EDI service delivers significant operational advantages that enhance efficiency, financial accuracy, and environmental responsibility across City departments.
 Improved budget control and transparency: Departments can track and forecast energy use and costs more effectively.
 Error reduction: Automated validation minimizes duplicate payments and missed invoices.
712

Page 3 of 3 ends

November 18, 2025
 Enhanced reporting and accountability: Enables detailed energy consumption reports by division for performance tracking and conservation analysis.  Regulatory and audit compliance: Maintains consistent, digital records for reliable auditing and reporting.
 Environmental sustainability: Reduces paper usage and manual processing.

SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION
Xebec Data Corporation is the only vendor offering full EDI data translation and integration services specifically designed for PG&E billing data and compatible with the City’s Energy Manager Software System. Xebec manages the entire workflow — from receiving and validating raw billing data to producing fully formatted files and reports. No other vendor provides this combination of technical capability, system compatibility, and support for the City’s existing infrastructure (Attachment 1 and 2).

The estimated annual costs total approximately $5,320, based on:
 $75 monthly subscription fee, and
 $0.99 per invoice, with about 4,465 invoices processed per year.

The proposed contract amount of $30,000 over three (3) years, with two optional oneyear extensions up to $10,000 per year, allows for budget flexibility to accommodate fluctuations in invoice volume or service needs. Funding is available within the City’s operational budget for utilities and energy management. The original contract expired on September 30, 2025. Therefore, staff is requesting to retroactively date the contract to October 1, 2025. The delays for contract issuance were due to vendor issuing an inaccurate scope of work to reflect the City’s requirements.

CONCLUSION
City staff recommend that City Council adopt a resolution renewing the contract with Xebec Data Corporation ensures the City of Richmond continues to receive accurate, timely, and automated processing of PG&E utility billing data (Attachment 3 and4). This service is vital for effective energy management, improved budget oversight, and the City’s transition toward fully electronic payment processing, reducing costs and administrative effort while supporting sustainability and operational efficiency.

Project Specs: The City of Richmond uses Xebec’s ECLynx Web EDI solution to receive EDI invoices from its Utility Vendors.

PG&E sends 810 EDI files to Xebec via the an EDI Network (VAN) each billing day.

Xebec keeps specific maps for each utility in the ECLynx system. We will also write a Custom Program to take the translated invoice data and create Richmond’s required Import File format for its Energy Manager – its Energy Management software.

ECLynx is an automated system that runs at specific intervals defined by our clients. We poll Richmond’s VAN mailbox each weekday.

When ECLynx runs it grabs all the bills received via the VAN from PG&E, translates them out of EDI format, runs the Custom Program to get the invoice data into the Energy Mgr required Import File layout. At the same time, it generates 997 Functional Acknowledgments that are sent back to PG&E, a Summary Report, Error Report, and PDF Bill Images (more details following). Next, ECLynx drops all the files to a Xebec maintained secure SFTP server.

The Summary Report simply reports the data processed during the session and includes each account # and its individual total due amount, and then total invoice counts and total dollar amounts for the run. The session data will be organized by Utility. See Appendix A for a sample.

The Error Report can include many different things but the most important category is one we call “Total Due Errors”. This is where the program has found the total line items in the invoice do not match the EDI TDS segment where the utility reports the amount due on the invoice. When a client sees this error and reports it to Xebec, we investigate it and usually find some problem with the Utility’s bill format or there is problem with the rate type or specific account. Other things Xebec clients like to have us include in this report are: Previous Balances, Credit Balances, Late Payment Fees, Rebill Bill indicators, etc. Usually, clients like to watch these items to be sure they are accurate and that they don’t double pay bills or pay late fees that are unwarranted. Since Richmond is using an Energy Mgmt Prgm, many of those types of notifications aren’t really important as it will use the program’s reporting to track and monitor for these types of things. See Appendix B for a sample.

PDF Bill Images are bill representations that look very similar to the paper bills you receive from the Utility. Our solution ALWAYS generates these bill images. Almost all utilities insist upon shutting off paper bills upon moving to EDI billing. This is the only way the customer will have a visual representation of the invoice. This service is inherent in our EDI solution. See Appendix D for a sample. 719
The file naming convention for these files is as follows but can be modified to accommodate specific requests from our customers.

1. Energy Mgr Import file: richmond20251001.txt
Format is: Richmondyyyymmdd.txt

2. The PDF bill images: 0669111500-20200927-00515419.htm The bill image file name is included within the import file so as to link this image to the imported bill record in AP or Energy Mgmt Program. The file naming format is theacct #, the process date, and a unique random #.

3. The Summary Report: Richmondsummaryreport20200927.txt Format is Richmondsummaryreport + yyyymmdd.txt

4. The Error Report (when generated): edierror20200927.txt Format is edierror + yyyymmdd.txt
Files are dropped to Xebec’s SFTP server. Once the session files are picked up, Richmond can import the bills directly into Energy Mgr. It can use the Summary Report to be sure the # of bills imported from the Import Files matches the Summary counts we report. It can also use the Error Report to determine if there are any line items it wants to investigate before processing invoices for payment. Energy Mgr is then used to be sure bills lie within normal parameters, investigate red flags (like new meter #s, accts #s, outliers), analyze the batch and then extract the bill data to an AP file layout.

Support and Xebec responsibilities: Xebec will manage all the contact with each of Richmond’s EDI partners on Richmond’s behalf. We work through the testing phase with the utility, provide them with EDI Ids and VAN info, and coordinate the switch from testing to production. Once in production, we will investigate any billing problems Richmond reports to us (from their Error Reports) or if any bills seem to be missing data in the Import File, etc. We will investigate the error to determine whether there is a problem with the ECLynx system, its maps or custom programs. Once satisfied the problem isn’t related to our system, Xebec will contact the Utility directly to troubleshoot possible problems in the Utility’s 810 format or data content. We cc:

Richmond on any problem investigation. Xebec offers normal support 8am-5pm MT to our phone lines. We also provide Richmond with an after-hours phone # in the case of any critical problem needing immediate attention.

Xebec handles all server maintenance on the hosted environment. Updates and improvements to the system are transparent to our customers. Should there be any required changes to your maps or custom programs due to utility changes, we work with the utility to understand new requirements, code and test needed changes, and implement them once we are satisfied the customer is ready. In 98% of EDI formatting changes, the customer is not even affected. Really the only time we’ve seen the need for the customer to be involved, is if the utility decides to change its acct # structure, and thus the acct #s sent in the 810 layouts. This is less an EDI change but more a data content problem that would have affected the customer had it still been receiving paper bills as well. Every now and again the utility will start sending a charge code it hadn’t used before and Xebec will contact the customer to see how it wants it classified and sent through to their Energy Mgmt Program. Sometimes this is obvious and again the customer is not involved, sometimes advice from customer and/or the Energy Mgmt Prgm is required.
720
We use IDrive to backup files on all our hosted servers. We also keep backups of those environments on local computers at our site. In the event that we could not use IDrive backups to fix a problematic server, daily batches can be run on our computers until such time as the production server could be recreated.

EXHIBIT A

SERVICE PLAN
Contractor shall, to the satisfaction of the Project Manager (set forth in Exhibit B), perform the following services and be compensated as outlined below [or attach service plan if necessary]:

Xebec Data Corp
Provide weekly Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) services that allows the City to import PG&E bills to our web-based Energy Manager database to process City bills for electronic payment.

Scope of Work - see next page
738
SCOPE OF WORK - Xebec EDI Services
City of Richmond Utility EDI Program:

Partners: Pacific Gas & Electric
Project Specs: The City of Richmond uses Xebec’s ECLynx Web EDI solution to receive EDI invoices from its Utility Vendors.

PG&E sends 810 EDI files to Xebec via the an EDI Network (VAN) each billing day.

Xebec keeps specific maps for each utility in the ECLynx system. We will also write a Custom Program to take the translated invoice data and create Richmond’s required Import File format for its Energy Manager – its Energy Management software.

ECLynx is an automated system that runs at specific intervals defined by our clients. We poll Richmond’s VAN mailbox each weekday.

When ECLynx runs it grabs all the bills received via the VAN from PG&E, translates them out of EDI format, runs the Custom Program to get the invoice data into the Energy Mgr required Import File layout. At the same time, it generates 997 Functional Acknowledgments that are sent back to PG&E, a Summary Report, Error Report, and PDF Bill Images (more details following). Next, ECLynx drops all the files to a Xebec maintained secure SFTP server.

The Summary Report simply reports the data processed during the session and includes each account # and its individual total due amount, and then total invoice counts and total dollar amounts for the run. The session data will be organized by Utility. See Appendix A for a sample.

The Error Report can include many different things but the most important category is one we call “Total Due Errors”. This is where the program has found the total line items in the invoice do not match the EDI TDS segment where the utility reports the amount due on the invoice. When a client sees this error and reports it to Xebec, we investigate it and usually find some problem with the Utility’s bill format or there is problem with the rate type or specific account. Other things Xebec clients like to have us include in this report are: Previous Balances, Credit Balances, Late Payment Fees, Rebill Bill indicators, etc. Usually, clients like to watch these items to be sure they are accurate and that they don’t double pay bills or pay late fees that are unwarranted. Since Richmond is using an Energy Mgmt Prgm, many of those types of notifications aren’t really important as it will use the program’s reporting to track and monitor for these types of things. See Appendix B for a sample.

PDF Bill Images are bill representations that look very similar to the paper bills you receive from the Utility. Our solution ALWAYS generates these bill images. Almost all utilities insist upon shutting off paper bills upon moving to EDI billing. This is the only way the customer will have a visual representation of the invoice. This service is inherent in our EDI solution. See Appendix D for a sample. 739
The file naming convention for these files is as follows but can be modified to accommodate specific requests from our customers.

1. Energy Mgr Import file: richmond20251001.txt
Format is: Richmondyyyymmdd.txt

2. The PDF bill images: 0669111500-20200927-00515419.htm The bill image file name is included within the import file so as to link this image to the imported bill record in AP or Energy Mgmt Program. The file naming format is theacct #, the process date, and a unique random #.

3. The Summary Report: Richmondsummaryreport20200927.txt Format is Richmondsummaryreport + yyyymmdd.txt

4. The Error Report (when generated): edierror20200927.txt Format is edierror + yyyymmdd.txt
Files are dropped to Xebec’s SFTP server. Once the session files are picked up, Richmond can import the bills directly into Energy Mgr. It can use the Summary Report to be sure the # of bills imported from the Import Files matches the Summary counts we report. It can also use the Error Report to determine if there are any line items it wants to investigate before processing invoices for payment. Energy Mgr is then used to be sure bills lie within normal parameters, investigate red flags (like new meter #s, accts #s, outliers), analyze the batch and then extract the bill data to an AP file layout.

Support and Xebec responsibilities: Xebec will manage all the contact with each of Richmond’s EDI partners on Richmond’s behalf. We work through the testing phase with the utility, provide them with EDI Ids and VAN info, and coordinate the switch from testing to production. Once in production, we will investigate any billing problems Richmond reports to us (from their Error Reports) or if any bills seem to be missing data in the Import File, etc. We will investigate the error to determine whether there is a problem with the ECLynx system, its maps or custom programs. Once satisfied the problem isn’t related to our system, Xebec will contact the Utility directly to troubleshoot possible problems in the Utility’s 810 format or data content. We cc:

Richmond on any problem investigation. Xebec offers normal support 8am-5pm MT to our phone lines. We also provide Richmond with an after-hours phone # in the case of any critical problem needing immediate attention.

Xebec handles all server maintenance on the hosted environment. Updates and improvements to the system are transparent to our customers. Should there be any required changes to your maps or custom programs due to utility changes, we work with the utility to understand new requirements, code and test needed changes, and implement them once we are satisfied the customer is ready. In 98% of EDI formatting changes, the customer is not even affected. Really the only time we’ve seen the need for the customer to be involved, is if the utility decides to change its acct # structure, and thus the acct #s sent in the 810 layouts. This is less an EDI change but more a data content problem that would have affected the customer had it still been receiving paper bills as well. Every now and again the utility will start sending a charge code it hadn’t used before and Xebec will contact the customer to see how it wants it classified and sent through to their Energy Mgmt Program. Sometimes this is obvious and again the customer is not involved, sometimes advice from customer and/or the Energy Mgmt Prgm is required.
740
We use IDrive to backup files on all our hosted servers. We also keep backups of those environments on local computers at our site. In the event that we could not use IDrive backups to fix a problematic server, daily batches can be run on our computers until such time as the production server could be recreated.

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.

DISCUSSION:

The City requires reliable, flexible, and responsive contracting capacity to address immediate construction, operational and maintenance demands including but not limited to minor construction, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, carpentry, concrete and masonry, roofing, flooring, glazing, demolition, hazardous material abatement, emergency and non-emergency repair, and other related work.

On-call general contractor service agreements provide the City with a broad range of construction and repair services and allow the authorization of work across multiple trades and disciplines in an efficient and timely manner, allowing projects to proceed without delay due to lengthy procurement processes.

On May 16, 2025, staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking qualified and licensed general contractors to provide on-call general construction services. In response to the RFP, staff received seven (7) proposals (Attachment 1). A panel of public works staff members evaluated the proposals based on responsiveness, experience, qualifications, references, and ability to provide a range of on-call construction services. The panel identified six (6) general contractors as the most qualified and best suited to meet the City’s needs (Attachment 2).

The six (6) general contractors recommended for approval at this time are:

1. ATI Restoration, LLC

2. Bay Hawk, Inc.

3. Marinship Development Interest, LLC

4. SDM Construction

5. Surf to Snow Environmental Resource Management, Inc.

6. Yerba Buena Engineering and Construction, Inc.

These contracts will enhance the City’s capacity to respond quickly to facility and infrastructure needs, including emergency repairs, ADA improvements, safety upgrades, and routine capital maintenance. Public Works will manage the agreements to ensure adherence to City standards, budget limits, and bonding and insurance requirements (Attachments 3).

City staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager or their designee to execute on-call general contractor agreements with ATI Restoration, LLC, Bay Hawk, Inc., Marinship Development Interest, LLC, SDM Construction, Surf to Snow Environmental Resource Management, Inc., and Yerba Buena Engineering and Construction, Inc., each in an amount not to exceed $1,500,000 over a three-year term from November 19, 2025, through November 20, 2028, with the option to extend each agreement for up to two additional one-year terms and $500,000 per year (Attachment 4).

If the Contractor cures the breach within the time specified in the notice or, if the breach cannot be cured in the time specified but the Contractor has diligently pursued measures to cure the breach and to keep the City informed of its progress, then the breach shall not constitute a default provided that the breach is cured within thirty (30) days from the date of the City’s last notice and demand to cure.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 3.1 Relationship of Parties.

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be interpreted or understood by any of the Parties, or by any third persons, as creating the relationship of employer and employee, principal and agent, limited or general partnership, or joint venture between the City and Contractor or its agents, employees or subcontractors, and Contractor shall at all times be deemed an independent contractor and shall be wholly responsible for the manner in which it or its agents, or both, perform the services required of it by the terms of this Agreement. Contractor has and retains the right to exercise full control of employment, direction, compensation, and discharge of all persons assisting in the performance of services under the Agreement. In regards to the construction of the Project, Contractor shall be solely responsible for all matters relating to payment of its employees, including compliance with Social Security, withholding, and all other laws and regulations governing such matters, and shall include requirements in each contract that subcontractors shall be solely responsible for similar matters relating to their employees. Contractor shall be solely responsible for its own acts and those of its agents and employees.

Section 3.2 Change Orders.
(a) Changes affecting the time of performance, unit pricing, or total contract price shall be set forth in a written Change Order that shall specify:

1. The work performed in connection with the change to be made;

2. The amount of the adjustment to the Payment Limit, if any, and the basis for compensation for the work ordered. For any change to the scope of work that results in a Change Order, the Contractor and all lower-tier Subcontractors shall be entitled to a cumulative markup on the cost of the work for that change, which shall not exceed a total of twenty percent (20%). This markup shall cover all direct and indirect costs associated with the change, including but not limited to labor, materials, equipment, subcontractor overhead, and profit. The Contractor shall provide a detailed breakdown of all costs and markups included in the Change Order. For any deductive change orders, the same twenty percent (20%) markup percentage shall be applied to the cost reduction; and

3. The amount of time to be adjusted in the schedule for performance, if any. (b) A Change Order will become effective when signed by the Department Head, or his or her representative, notwithstanding that Contractor has not signed it. A Change Order will become effective without Contractor’s signature, provided the Department Head or his or her representative so indicates by noting thereon “unilateral change order.” (c) All changes in any plans and specification approved by any authority with jurisdiction over the Project may also require addenda or change orders approved by that authority. 783
On-Call General Contractor Services City of Richmond
CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT 11

(e) The Public Works Director or their designee may approve Change Orders with a cumulative value up to ten percent (10%) of the value of the individual Work Authorization, rather than the master contract value.

Section 3.3 Claims By Contractor.
(a) No Third-Party Claims. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create or justify any claim against the City by any person that Contractor may have employed or with whom Contractor may have contracted relative to the purchase of materials, supplies or equipment, or the furnishing or the performance of any work or services with respect to the construction of the Project, and Contractor shall include similar requirements in any contracts entered into for the construction of the Project. Pursuant to Section 9204 (d)(5) of the Public Contract Code, however, Contractor may present a claim on behalf of a subcontractor for work which was performed by that subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor. Such claim shall have been reviewed and evaluated by Contractor prior to submission to the City.
(b) Obligation to File Claims for Disputed Work. Should it appear to the Contractor that the work to be performed or any of the matters relative to the Contract Documents are not satisfactorily detailed or explained therein, or should any questions arise as to the meaning or intent of the Contract Documents, or should any dispute arise regarding the true value of any work performed, work omitted, extra work that the Contractor may be required to perform, time extensions, payment to the Contractor during performance of the work, construction of the Project, and/or compliance with procedures or standards set forth in the Contract Documents, or should Contractor otherwise seek extra time or compensation FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, then Contractor shall first follow the procedures set forth in this Agreement, including but not limited to Section 3.2, “Change Orders.” If a dispute remains, then Contractor shall give written notice to the City that expressly invokes this Section 3.3 and requests a determination of the issue. City shall decide the issue in writing within 15 days; City’s decision shall be final and the limitations period for the filing of a claim shall commence upon the City’s issuance of its decision. If Contractor disagrees with City’s decision, or if Contractor contends that City failed to provide a timely decision, then Contractor’s SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY is to file a written claim setting forth Contractor’s position as required herein. (c) Form and Contents of Claim. The Claim shall be submitted to the City within thirty (30) days of receiving the City’s written decision regarding the dispute, or the date the Contractor contends such decision was due, and in no event later than the date of final payment. Contractor’s written claim must identify itself as a “Claim” under this Section

3.3 and must include the following: (1) a narrative of pertinent events; (2) citation to contract provisions; (3) theory of entitlement; (4) complete pricing of all cost impacts; (5) a time impact analysis of all time delays that shows actual time impact on the critical path; (6) documentation supporting items 1 – 5; and (7) verification under penalty of perjury of the claim’s accuracy. The Claim shall be priced like a Change Order, and must be updated every thirty (30) days as to cost and entitlement if it remains a continuing Claim. Routine contract materials, for example, correspondence, RFI, Change Order requests, or payment requests shall not constitute a Claim. Contractor shall bear all costs incurred in preparation, submittal, and administration of a Claim. 784
On-Call General Contractor Services City of Richmond
CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT 12
(d) Administration After Claim Submittal.

1. City may render a final decision based solely on the materials submitted in support of the Claim or may in its sole discretion conduct an administrative hearing on the Claim, in which case Contractor shall appear, participate, answer inquiries, and present any further evidence or analysis requested by City. Should City take no action on the Claim within forty-five (45) days (or any extension thereof mutually agreed upon by City and Contractor, or any such greater time to respond afforded City under Section 9204(d)(1)(C) of the Public Contract Code) of submittal, it shall be deemed denied.

2. If Contractor disputes City’s written response, or if City fails to respond to a Claim within the time prescribed, Contractor may demand in writing an informal conference to meet and confer for settlement of the issues in dispute. Upon receipt of a demand in writing sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, City will schedule a meet and confer conference within thirty (30) days for settlement of the dispute.

3. Within ten (10) business days following the conclusion of the meet and confer conference, if the Claim or any portion of the Claim remains in dispute, City will provide Contractor a written statement identifying the portion of the Claim that remains in dispute and the portion that is undisputed. Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the Claim will be processed and made within sixty (60) days after City issues its written statement. Any disputed portion of the Claim, as identified by Contractor in writing, shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation, with City and Contractor sharing the associated costs equally. City and Contractor shall mutually agree to a mediator within ten (10) business days after the disputed portion of the Claim has been identified in writing. If City and Contractor cannot agree upon a mediator, each party shall select a mediator, and those mediators shall select a qualified neutral third party to mediate with regard to the disputed portion of the Claim. Each party shall bear the fees and costs charged by its respective mediator in connection with the selection of the neutral mediator. If mediation is unsuccessful, the parts of the Claim remaining in dispute shall be subject to Section 3.3(f) of this Agreement.

4. Failure by City to respond to a Claim within the time periods described in Section 9204 of the Public Contract Code or to otherwise comply with the time requirements of that section shall result in the Claim being deemed rejected in its entirety. A Claim that is denied by reason of City’s failure to have responded to a claim, or its failure to otherwise comply with the time requirements of Section 9204 of the Public Contract Code, shall not constitute an adverse finding with regard to the merits of the Claim or the responsibility or qualifications of the claimant filing the Claim.

5. Notwithstanding and pending the resolution of any Claim or dispute, Contractor shall diligently perform the disputed work to final completion in accordance with the City’s direction.
(e) Compliance

1.

On-Call General Contractor Services City of Richmond
CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT 13
the date the City actively or passively denied the Claim, or (ii) substantial completion or termination of the contract.

2. Failure to submit and administer Claims as required in Section 3.3 shall waive Contractor’s right to compensation for any disputed work not included in a timely Claim. Disputes not raised in a timely protest and timely Claim submitted under this Section 3.3 may not be asserted in any subsequent Government Code claim, administrative hearing, or civil action.

3. City shall not be deemed to waive any provision under this Section 3.3 if, at City’s sole discretion, a Claim is administered in a manner not in accord with this Section 3.3. Waivers or modifications of this Section 3.3 may only be made by signed Change Order approved as to form by legal counsel for both City and Contractor. Oral or implied modifications shall be of no force or effect.

Subcontractors
ATI will self-perform from our core services portfolio for the scope items identified in this proposal. When an occasion arises where we may need to subcontract an element of a project, then we will make selection of a subcontractor from our extensive list of pre-vetted subcontractors.

Quality for every chosen subcontractor is determined through a comprehensive process of vetting including license check, insurance and bonding checks, background checks, and is strengthened via a subcontractor contract.

Experience Managing Contracts with Municipalities
ATI has significant experience handling a variety of administrative and operational tasks involved in contract management for public entities. Over the years, we’ve had the opportunity to work alongside local, state, and federal agencies, tailoring our efforts to meet their unique needs. Our expertise includes scheduling, billing, accounting, change management, and compliance with requirements, all within budgets and timelines.

We have dedicated administrative personnel who oversee each contract we enter into, ensuring that every project is managed with precision and accountability. These team members are responsible for monitoring compliance, managing deadlines, and maintaining open communication with clients throughout the duration of the contract. Their deep understanding of contract administration ensures that all operational tasks are executed seamlessly and efficiently.

Additionally, ATI utilizes a comprehensive document repository that serves as a centralized resource to help us meet and maintain compliance with each client’s specific requirements.

This system enables us to track and access all project-related documents, including regulatory standards, client guidelines, and internal records. By leveraging this repository, our teams can quickly verify compliance, manage changes effectively, and uphold the highest standards of service delivery. Examples of multi-year contracts we’ve managed include:
 City of Santa Barbara – Emergency Response, Mitigation, Repair, Remediation, & Restoration Services – contract period 5-yrs ending on 6/30/2029 804

D. Proposed Approach and Methodology
Bidding
ATI takes a rigorous and transparent approach to ensure competitive and fair pricing for all services. Leveraging our in-house expertise and state-of-the-art tools, we streamline the bidding process while maintaining alignment with market standards and client expectations.

ATI’s Centralized Estimating Team oversees our pricing process, ensuring accuracy and alignment with market standards. The team works closely with our Project Directors, who also use advanced tools like Xactimate, Docusketch, and Matterport to incorporate real-time data on labor, materials, equipment, and project specifics. This collaboration ensures that pricing reflects up-to-date market conditions. Additionally, the team conducts thorough reviews, crossreferencing cost data with historical benchmarks and regional trends to guarantee competitive and fair rates.
806
ATI Restoration, LLC response to:

City of Richmond ***LIMITED RIGHTS DATA*** Page 17 of 31 Our commitment to transparency ensures clients receive clear, detailed estimates outlining every aspect of the project. This methodology instills confidence in both the accuracy and fairness of our pricing.

Subcontractor Vetting
While ATI anticipates self-performing the services under this RFP, when the occasion arises where we may need to engage a subcontractor for a specific trade, we have an extensive subcontractor vetting process to ensure all subcontractors in our network meet the highest standards for quality, compliance, and reliability. This approach allows us to deliver seamless, dependable support to our clients, even in the most challenging circumstances.

Our subcontractor pre-vetting process includes the following key steps:
 Rigorous Qualification and Documentation - Subcontractors must submit current licenses, registrations, and certifications issued by federal, state, and local agencies. This ensures compliance with all relevant regulations. Additionally, they provide a certificate of insurance (COI) that aligns with the client’s requirements to confirm adequate coverage.
 Professional References and Evaluation - Applicants are required to provide three professional trade references. These references must attest to the quality of their work, adherence to deadlines and budgets, responsiveness, and overall communication. This provides a clear picture of their reliability and performance history.  Panel Interviews - Each candidate participates in a panel interview with ATI management. This allows us to assess their skills, knowledge, methods of work, and ability to meet the high standards we set for our projects.  Safety and Compliance Assurance - We prioritize safety and compliance. Subcontractors must demonstrate adherence to OSHA and other safety standards, with acceptable safety records to ensure effective risk management.
 Completion of Compliance Packet - All subcontractors are required to complete our subcontractor packet. This packet includes necessary agreements, certifications, and documentation, such as the Subcontractor Agreement, Master Subcontractor Agreement, W-9 Form, and I-9 Compliance Agreement.
 Ongoing Evaluation - Our commitment to quality doesn’t stop at onboarding. We continuously monitor subcontractor performance, including workmanship, adherence to program requirements, and the validity of licenses and certifications. This ensures our network consistently meets our strict quality requirements.

By maintaining this robust pre-vetting process, ATI guarantees that only the most qualified, reliable subcontractors join our network. This enables us to provide exceptional service and peace of mind to our clients, knowing that every project is handled by skilled and trusted professionals.

ATI Restoration, LLC response to:

City of Richmond ***LIMITED RIGHTS DATA*** Page 18 of 31 Quality Control
ATI takes a multi-level approach for ensuring quality. We strive to maintain quality starting from the initial request of services to the finished product. Our quality control program focuses on the following elements:
 Compliance: All work performed will be in accordance with written procedures and all applicable laws, rules and regulations. Compliance is achieved through our rigorous training programs led by our training department, ATI University and ATI's EHS Department to ensure consistency in our operations on every project.  Employee Qualifications: All field employees are required to complete training courses and achieve certifications that pertain to their job descriptions and skill sets, including asbestos and lead abatements. All ATI employees have obtained OSHA 10 or OSHA 30- hour certification.
 Safety: ATI has invested in a robust health and safety program to promote a culture of safety companywide. Our safety program is led by our EHS Department and involves management leadership, worker participation, hazard identification, hazard prevention and control and ongoing education.
 Effective Communication: We make sure our clients’ expectations are met by producing detailed documentation on projects, including Daily Field Reports (DFRs) and engaging in regular communication with all stakeholders.
 Management of Tasks: Our experienced project director oversees the loss, dispatches our work crews and ensures ATI delivers on each project milestone. The project is continually monitored by a member of our senior management team until the job has been completed to ensure high-quality services.
 Customer Satisfaction Surveys: ATI tracks the feedback of our clients throughout the project as well as at its conclusion. We conduct quality assurance phone calls and distribute customer satisfaction surveys at the end of a project to measure the satisfaction of our clients. For the past three years, ATI’s annual average NPS score has been in the Excellent range, the highest range possible.

Project Scheduling
Our teams are equipped with cutting-edge technologies, including 3D scanning tools and centralized project management platforms, ensuring efficiency and precision throughout the project lifecycle. By combining advanced tools with the expertise of our workforce, we uphold our commitment to delivering high-quality results that exceed client expectations.

Once the scope of work has been agreed upon, ATI develops a detailed schedule of tasks for the customer to review and provide feedback on. After receiving approval, the finalized schedule is integrated into the site-specific work plan, serving as a roadmap for the project. Our schedules outline essential details such as the sequencing of removal work, the interface between trades involved, and our standard operating procedures (SOPs), all customized to the complexity of the project.
808

ATI Restoration, LLC response to:

City of Richmond ***LIMITED RIGHTS DATA*** Page 19 of 31 To enhance efficiency and accuracy, ATI carefully determines the duration of each task based on its individual requirements. We assess how long each activity will take, considering the number of personnel necessary to complete it effectively. Additionally, we evaluate task dependencies to ensure activities are scheduled in the correct order—for example, identifying work that needs to be completed first and what can follow afterward. To further optimize project timelines, ATI strategically incorporates concurrent work whenever possible, allowing overlapping tasks to progress simultaneously without compromising quality or precision. This approach ensures that resources are maximized and projects stay on track, even under tight deadlines.

ATI is also highly experienced in working within occupied facilities, adapting schedules to minimize disruptions to the client’s operations. Whether in public environments, educational institutions, or other active workplaces, our teams coordinate closely with clients to establish work hours and phased approaches that prioritize safety and functionality. This flexibility allows us to create tailored plans that align with client requirements while maintaining consistent progress.

Beyond task timing and dependencies, we also anticipate material requirements for every phase of the project. This involves ensuring that the necessary materials and equipment are onhand at the appropriate times to avoid delays and maintain a steady workflow. By proactively managing these elements, we deliver seamless project execution within agreed timelines.

Each assigned project will have an experienced ATI project manager to oversee every operational aspect. This individual is responsible for monitoring progress, maintaining adherence to the agreed-upon schedule, and adjusting when necessary to address unforeseen challenges. By managing these variables effectively, we ensure consistent alignment with client objectives and deliver exceptional results for every project.

Safety Program
Safety, security, and productivity are at the heart of ATI’s operations. Our safety program is designed with a proactive approach to minimize risks, protect everyone on site, and maintain seamless project workflows. Under the leadership of our Safety Director, Shannon Thurgood, a Certified Safety Professional (CSP) with over 20 years of experience, ATI sets and enforces rigorous safety standards. Shannon’s expertise, supported by certifications such as OSHA 500 Trainer and First Aid/CPR Instructor, ensures that our program aligns with cutting-edge industry practices and regulatory compliance. See appendix for Shannon’s resume details. 809
ATI Restoration, LLC response to:

City of Richmond ***LIMITED RIGHTS DATA*** Page 20 of 31 Enhancing Job Site Safety
ATI’s safety program begins with pre-construction hazard assessments, where we identify and address potential risks before work begins. Comprehensive safety reviews consider factors like electrical hazards, standing water, uneven surfaces, and structural concerns such as damaged or sagging ceilings. All findings are thoroughly documented, and photographic evidence is included, ensuring full transparency for clients and project teams.

Throughout the project, regular on-site safety audits are conducted to monitor adherence to safety protocols and promptly address emerging risks. Project managers, who oversee field operations, are equipped to adapt safety measures swiftly and effectively to maintain secure job sites. Our senior management team also conducts periodic reviews to ensure that safety remains a priority throughout every phase of the project lifecycle.

Fostering a Culture of Security
Safety and security go hand in hand at ATI. Our teams are trained to maintain controlled and orderly environments, especially when working in occupied facilities such as schools, hospitals, or government buildings. By tailoring work schedules and phased approaches to client needs, we reduce security vulnerabilities and maintain safe access for facility occupants.

Improving Productivity Through Safety
A safe job site is a productive job site. ATI’s commitment to safety reduces the risk of accidents, minimizing costly delays and disruptions. Training programs are a key component in achieving this balance. All personnel participate in ongoing training, including OSHA 10- and 30-hour courses, as well as job-specific certifications that ensure teams are prepared to meet the unique challenges of each project.

We couple this training with digital safety management systems, which track incident reports, corrective actions, and safety trends in real time. This system allows us to identify and address issues quickly, ensuring projects stay on schedule and productive. Our systematic approach streamlines communication, enhances accountability, and fosters continuous improvement, creating an environment where safety directly contributes to efficient and timely project completion.

Results-Driven Commitment
ATI’s safety program is built on a layered and proactive foundation that improves job site safety, security, and productivity. By combining rigorous planning, ongoing training, routine inspections, and advanced technology, we deliver high-quality projects that protect people, meet timelines, and provide peace of mind to clients. Safety is not just a priority at ATI; it’s an integral part of who we are, ensuring excellence in every project we deliver. 810

If the Contractor cures the breach within the time specified in the notice or, if the breach cannot be cured in the time specified but the Contractor has diligently pursued measures to cure the breach and to keep the City informed of its progress, then the breach shall not constitute a default provided that the breach is cured within thirty (30) days from the date of the City’s last notice and demand to cure.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 3.1 Relationship of Parties.

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be interpreted or understood by any of the Parties, or by any third persons, as creating the relationship of employer and employee, principal and agent, limited or general partnership, or joint venture between the City and Contractor or its agents, employees or subcontractors, and Contractor shall at all times be deemed an independent contractor and shall be wholly responsible for the manner in which it or its agents, or both, perform the services required of it by the terms of this Agreement. Contractor has and retains the right to exercise full control of employment, direction, compensation, and discharge of all persons assisting in the performance of services under the Agreement. In regards to the construction of the Project, Contractor shall be solely responsible for all matters relating to payment of its employees, including compliance with Social Security, withholding, and all other laws and regulations governing such matters, and shall include requirements in each contract that subcontractors shall be solely responsible for similar matters relating to their employees. Contractor shall be solely responsible for its own acts and those of its agents and employees.

Section 3.2 Change Orders.
(a) Changes affecting the time of performance, unit pricing, or total contract price shall be set forth in a written Change Order that shall specify:

1. The work performed in connection with the change to be made;

2. The amount of the adjustment to the Payment Limit, if any, and the basis for compensation for the work ordered. For any change to the scope of work that results in a Change Order, the Contractor and all lower-tier Subcontractors shall be entitled to a cumulative markup on the cost of the work for that change, which shall not exceed a total of twenty percent (20%). This markup shall cover all direct and indirect costs associated with the change, including but not limited to labor, materials, equipment, subcontractor overhead, and profit. The Contractor shall provide a detailed breakdown of all costs and markups included in the Change Order. For any deductive change orders, the same twenty percent (20%) markup percentage shall be applied to the cost reduction; and

3. The amount of time to be adjusted in the schedule for performance, if any. (b) A Change Order will become effective when signed by the Department Head, or his or her representative, notwithstanding that Contractor has not signed it. A Change Order will become effective without Contractor’s signature, provided the Department Head or his or her representative so indicates by noting thereon “unilateral change order.” (c) All changes in any plans and specification approved by any authority with jurisdiction over the Project may also require addenda or change orders approved by that authority. 831

(e) The Public Works Director or their designee may approve Change Orders with a cumulative value up to ten percent (10%) of the value of the individual Work Authorization, rather than the master contract value.

Section 3.3 Claims By Contractor.
(a) No Third-Party Claims. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create or justify any claim against the City by any person that Contractor may have employed or with whom Contractor may have contracted relative to the purchase of materials, supplies or equipment, or the furnishing or the performance of any work or services with respect to the construction of the Project, and Contractor shall include similar requirements in any contracts entered into for the construction of the Project. Pursuant to Section 9204 (d)(5) of the Public Contract Code, however, Contractor may present a claim on behalf of a subcontractor for work which was performed by that subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor. Such claim shall have been reviewed and evaluated by Contractor prior to submission to the City.
(b) Obligation to File Claims for Disputed Work. Should it appear to the Contractor that the work to be performed or any of the matters relative to the Contract Documents are not satisfactorily detailed or explained therein, or should any questions arise as to the meaning or intent of the Contract Documents, or should any dispute arise regarding the true value of any work performed, work omitted, extra work that the Contractor may be required to perform, time extensions, payment to the Contractor during performance of the work, construction of the Project, and/or compliance with procedures or standards set forth in the Contract Documents, or should Contractor otherwise seek extra time or compensation FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, then Contractor shall first follow the procedures set forth in this Agreement, including but not limited to Section 3.2, “Change Orders.” If a dispute remains, then Contractor shall give written notice to the City that expressly invokes this Section 3.3 and requests a determination of the issue. City shall decide the issue in writing within 15 days; City’s decision shall be final and the limitations period for the filing of a claim shall commence upon the City’s issuance of its decision. If Contractor disagrees with City’s decision, or if Contractor contends that City failed to provide a timely decision, then Contractor’s SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY is to file a written claim setting forth Contractor’s position as required herein. (c) Form and Contents of Claim. The Claim shall be submitted to the City within thirty (30) days of receiving the City’s written decision regarding the dispute, or the date the Contractor contends such decision was due, and in no event later than the date of final payment. Contractor’s written claim must identify itself as a “Claim” under this Section

3.3 and must include the following: (1) a narrative of pertinent events; (2) citation to contract provisions; (3) theory of entitlement; (4) complete pricing of all cost impacts; (5) a time impact analysis of all time delays that shows actual time impact on the critical path; (6) documentation supporting items 1 – 5; and (7) verification under penalty of perjury of the claim’s accuracy. The Claim shall be priced like a Change Order, and must be updated every thirty (30) days as to cost and entitlement if it remains a continuing Claim. Routine contract materials, for example, correspondence, RFI, Change Order requests, or payment requests shall not constitute a Claim. Contractor shall bear all costs incurred in preparation, submittal, and administration of a Claim. 832
On-Call General Contractor Services City of Richmond
CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT 12
(d) Administration After Claim Submittal.

1. City may render a final decision based solely on the materials submitted in support of the Claim or may in its sole discretion conduct an administrative hearing on the Claim, in which case Contractor shall appear, participate, answer inquiries, and present any further evidence or analysis requested by City. Should City take no action on the Claim within forty-five (45) days (or any extension thereof mutually agreed upon by City and Contractor, or any such greater time to respond afforded City under Section 9204(d)(1)(C) of the Public Contract Code) of submittal, it shall be deemed denied.

2. If Contractor disputes City’s written response, or if City fails to respond to a Claim within the time prescribed, Contractor may demand in writing an informal conference to meet and confer for settlement of the issues in dispute. Upon receipt of a demand in writing sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, City will schedule a meet and confer conference within thirty (30) days for settlement of the dispute.

3. Within ten (10) business days following the conclusion of the meet and confer conference, if the Claim or any portion of the Claim remains in dispute, City will provide Contractor a written statement identifying the portion of the Claim that remains in dispute and the portion that is undisputed. Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the Claim will be processed and made within sixty (60) days after City issues its written statement. Any disputed portion of the Claim, as identified by Contractor in writing, shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation, with City and Contractor sharing the associated costs equally. City and Contractor shall mutually agree to a mediator within ten (10) business days after the disputed portion of the Claim has been identified in writing. If City and Contractor cannot agree upon a mediator, each party shall select a mediator, and those mediators shall select a qualified neutral third party to mediate with regard to the disputed portion of the Claim. Each party shall bear the fees and costs charged by its respective mediator in connection with the selection of the neutral mediator. If mediation is unsuccessful, the parts of the Claim remaining in dispute shall be subject to Section 3.3(f) of this Agreement.

4. Failure by City to respond to a Claim within the time periods described in Section 9204 of the Public Contract Code or to otherwise comply with the time requirements of that section shall result in the Claim being deemed rejected in its entirety. A Claim that is denied by reason of City’s failure to have responded to a claim, or its failure to otherwise comply with the time requirements of Section 9204 of the Public Contract Code, shall not constitute an adverse finding with regard to the merits of the Claim or the responsibility or qualifications of the claimant filing the Claim.

5. Notwithstanding and pending the resolution of any Claim or dispute, Contractor shall diligently perform the disputed work to final completion in accordance with the City’s direction.
(e) Compliance

1.

In accordance with Richmond Municipal Code Section 1.10.010(b), all Government Code claims must be presented no later than the 100th day after the earlier of (i) 833
On-Call General Contractor Services City of Richmond
CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT 13
the date the City actively or passively denied the Claim, or (ii) substantial completion or termination of the contract.

Section 2.2 Remedies.

The occurrence of any Default hereunder following the expiration of all applicable notice and cure periods will, either at the option of the City or automatically where so specified, relieve the City of any obligation to make or continue payments and shall give the City the right to proceed with any and all remedies set forth in the Contract Documents, including but not limited to the following:
(a) Specific Performance. The City shall have the right to mandamus or other suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity to require Contractor to perform its obligations and covenants under this Agreement or to enjoin acts on things which may be unlawful or in violation of the provisions of this Agreement.
(b) Right of Contest. Contractor shall have the right to contest in good faith any claim, demand, levy, or assessment the assertion of which would constitute a Default hereunder. Any such contest shall be prosecuted diligently and in a manner unprejudicial to the City or the rights of the City hereunder.
(c) Remedies Cumulative. No right, power, or remedy given to the City by the terms of the Contract Documents is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power, or remedy; and each and every such right, power, or remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right, power, or remedy given to the City by the terms of any such instrument, or by 856

any statute or otherwise against Contractor and any other person. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of the City to exercise any such rights and remedies shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the City of any such right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of such right or remedy, or any other right or remedy.

Section 2.3 Waiver of Damages.

ARTICLE III

GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 3.1 Relationship of Parties.

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be interpreted or understood by any of the Parties, or by any third persons, as creating the relationship of employer and employee, principal and agent, limited or general partnership, or joint venture between the City and Contractor or its agents, employees or subcontractors, and Contractor shall at all times be deemed an independent contractor and shall be wholly responsible for the manner in which it or its agents, or both, perform the services required of it by the terms of this Agreement. Contractor has and retains the right to exercise full control of employment, direction, compensation, and discharge of all persons assisting in the performance of services under the Agreement. In regards to the construction of the Project, Contractor shall be solely responsible for all matters relating to payment of its employees, including compliance with Social Security, withholding, and all other laws and regulations governing such matters, and shall include requirements in each contract that subcontractors shall be solely responsible for similar matters relating to their employees. Contractor shall be solely responsible for its own acts and those of its agents and employees.

Section 3.2 Change Orders.
(a) Changes affecting the time of performance, unit pricing, or total contract price shall be set forth in a written Change Order that shall specify:

1. The work performed in connection with the change to be made;

2. The amount of the adjustment to the Payment Limit, if any, and the basis for compensation for the work ordered. For any change to the scope of work that results in a Change Order, the Contractor and all lower-tier Subcontractors shall be entitled to a cumulative markup on the cost of the work for that change, which shall not exceed a total of twenty percent (20%). This markup shall cover all direct and indirect costs associated with the change, including but not limited to labor, materials, equipment, subcontractor overhead, and profit. The Contractor shall provide a detailed breakdown of all costs and markups included in the Change Order. For any deductive change orders, the same twenty percent (20%) markup percentage shall be applied to the cost reduction; and

3. The amount of time to be adjusted in the schedule for performance, if any. (b) A Change Order will become effective when signed by the Department Head, or his or her representative, notwithstanding that Contractor has not signed it. A Change Order will become effective without Contractor’s signature, provided the Department Head or his or her representative so indicates by noting thereon “unilateral change order.” (c) All changes in any plans and specification approved by any authority with jurisdiction over the Project may also require addenda or change orders approved by that authority. 857
On-Call General Contractor Services City of Richmond
CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT 11
(d) Where the City requests, a performance bond rider covering the changed work must be executed and delivered to the City before proceeding with the changed work, or shortly in time thereafter.
(e) The Public Works Director or their designee may approve Change Orders with a cumulative value up to ten percent (10%) of the value of the individual Work Authorization, rather than the master contract value.

Section 3.3 Claims By Contractor.
(a) No Third-Party Claims. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create or justify any claim against the City by any person that Contractor may have employed or with whom Contractor may have contracted relative to the purchase of materials, supplies or equipment, or the furnishing or the performance of any work or services with respect to the construction of the Project, and Contractor shall include similar requirements in any contracts entered into for the construction of the Project. Pursuant to Section 9204 (d)(5) of the Public Contract Code, however, Contractor may present a claim on behalf of a subcontractor for work which was performed by that subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor. Such claim shall have been reviewed and evaluated by Contractor prior to submission to the City.
(b) Obligation to File Claims for Disputed Work. Should it appear to the Contractor that the work to be performed or any of the matters relative to the Contract Documents are not satisfactorily detailed or explained therein, or should any questions arise as to the meaning or intent of the Contract Documents, or should any dispute arise regarding the true value of any work performed, work omitted, extra work that the Contractor may be required to perform, time extensions, payment to the Contractor during performance of the work, construction of the Project, and/or compliance with procedures or standards set forth in the Contract Documents, or should Contractor otherwise seek extra time or compensation FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, then Contractor shall first follow the procedures set forth in this Agreement, including but not limited to Section 3.2, “Change Orders.” If a dispute remains, then Contractor shall give written notice to the City that expressly invokes this Section 3.3 and requests a determination of the issue. City shall decide the issue in writing within 15 days; City’s decision shall be final and the limitations period for the filing of a claim shall commence upon the City’s issuance of its decision. If Contractor disagrees with City’s decision, or if Contractor contends that City failed to provide a timely decision, then Contractor’s SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY is to file a written claim setting forth Contractor’s position as required herein. (c) Form and Contents of Claim. The Claim shall be submitted to the City within thirty (30) days of receiving the City’s written decision regarding the dispute, or the date the Contractor contends such decision was due, and in no event later than the date of final payment. Contractor’s written claim must identify itself as a “Claim” under this Section

3.3 and must include the following: (1) a narrative of pertinent events; (2) citation to contract provisions; (3) theory of entitlement; (4) complete pricing of all cost impacts; (5) a time impact analysis of all time delays that shows actual time impact on the critical path; (6) documentation supporting items 1 – 5; and (7) verification under penalty of perjury of the claim’s accuracy. The Claim shall be priced like a Change Order, and must be updated every thirty (30) days as to cost and entitlement if it remains a continuing Claim. Routine contract materials, for example, correspondence, RFI, Change Order requests, or payment requests shall not constitute a Claim. Contractor shall bear all costs incurred in preparation, submittal, and administration of a Claim. 858
On-Call General Contractor Services City of Richmond
CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT 12
(d) Administration After Claim Submittal.

1. City may render a final decision based solely on the materials submitted in support of the Claim or may in its sole discretion conduct an administrative hearing on the Claim, in which case Contractor shall appear, participate, answer inquiries, and present any further evidence or analysis requested by City. Should City take no action on the Claim within forty-five (45) days (or any extension thereof mutually agreed upon by City and Contractor, or any such greater time to respond afforded City under Section 9204(d)(1)(C) of the Public Contract Code) of submittal, it shall be deemed denied.

2. If Contractor disputes City’s written response, or if City fails to respond to a Claim within the time prescribed, Contractor may demand in writing an informal conference to meet and confer for settlement of the issues in dispute. Upon receipt of a demand in writing sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, City will schedule a meet and confer conference within thirty (30) days for settlement of the dispute.

3. Within ten (10) business days following the conclusion of the meet and confer conference, if the Claim or any portion of the Claim remains in dispute, City will provide Contractor a written statement identifying the portion of the Claim that remains in dispute and the portion that is undisputed. Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the Claim will be processed and made within sixty (60) days after City issues its written statement. Any disputed portion of the Claim, as identified by Contractor in writing, shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation, with City and Contractor sharing the associated costs equally. City and Contractor shall mutually agree to a mediator within ten (10) business days after the disputed portion of the Claim has been identified in writing. If City and Contractor cannot agree upon a mediator, each party shall select a mediator, and those mediators shall select a qualified neutral third party to mediate with regard to the disputed portion of the Claim. Each party shall bear the fees and costs charged by its respective mediator in connection with the selection of the neutral mediator. If mediation is unsuccessful, the parts of the Claim remaining in dispute shall be subject to Section 3.3(f) of this Agreement.

4. Failure by City to respond to a Claim within the time periods described in Section 9204 of the Public Contract Code or to otherwise comply with the time requirements of that section shall result in the Claim being deemed rejected in its entirety. A Claim that is denied by reason of City’s failure to have responded to a claim, or its failure to otherwise comply with the time requirements of Section 9204 of the Public Contract Code, shall not constitute an adverse finding with regard to the merits of the Claim or the responsibility or qualifications of the claimant filing the Claim.

5. Notwithstanding and pending the resolution of any Claim or dispute, Contractor shall diligently perform the disputed work to final completion in accordance with the City’s direction.
(e) Compliance

1. The provisions of this Section 3.3 constitute a non-judicial claim settlement procedure that, pursuant to California Government Code Section 930.2, shall constitute a condition precedent to the submittal of a valid claim under the California Government Code. Any Government Code claims alleging disputed work must affirmatively indicate prior compliance with this Section 3.3. In accordance with Richmond Municipal Code Section 1.10.010(b), all Government Code claims must be presented no later than the 100th day after the earlier of (i) 859
On-Call General Contractor Services City of Richmond
CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT 13
the date the City actively or passively denied the Claim, or (ii) substantial completion or termination of the contract.

2. Failure to submit and administer Claims as required in Section 3.3 shall waive Contractor’s right to compensation for any disputed work not included in a timely Claim. Disputes not raised in a timely protest and timely Claim submitted under this Section 3.3 may not be asserted in any subsequent Government Code claim, administrative hearing, or civil action.

3. City shall not be deemed to waive any provision under this Section 3.3 if, at City’s sole discretion, a Claim is administered in a manner not in accord with this Section 3.3. Waivers or modifications of this Section 3.3 may only be made by signed Change Order approved as to form by legal counsel for both City and Contractor. Oral or implied modifications shall be of no force or effect.

Section 3.4 Indemnification.
(a) To the fullest extent permissible by law, Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless, and require its subcontractors to defend, indemnify and hold harmless, the City, its elected and appointed officials, and all of its employees, volunteers and agents (the “Indemnified Parties”), from all liability, penalties, costs, losses, damages, expenses, causes of action, claims or judgments, including attorney’s fees and other defense costs (collectively, “Actions”), resulting from injury to or death sustained by any person (including Contractor’s or any subcontractors’ employees), or damage to property of any kind, or any other injury or damage whatsoever, which Actions arise out of or are in any way connected with the construction of the Project, regardless of Contractor’s fault or negligence; provided, however, that Contractor’s, and Contractor’s subcontractors’ indemnity obligations hereunder shall not apply to the extent any Actions are caused by the active negligence or willful act or omission of an Indemnified Party. The indemnification obligations of Contractor and its subcontractors shall extend to Actions asserted after termination of this Agreement for whatever reason for the full period of time allowed by law.
(b) In Actions against any person or entity indemnified under Section 3.4(a) above by an employee of Contractor or its subcontractors, anyone directly or indirectly employed by any one of them or anyone for whose acts one of them may be liable, the indemnification obligation under Section 3.4(a) above shall not be limited by a limitation on amount or type of damages, compensation of benefits payable under workers’ compensation acts, disability benefit acts or other employee benefit acts. (c) The defense and indemnification obligations set forth in Section 3.4(a) above are undertaken in addition to, and shall not in any way be limited by, the insurance obligations set forth in the RFP.

Section 3.5 Non-Liability of City Officials, Employees and Agents.

Section 3.12 Force Majeure.

Performance by either Party shall not be deemed to be in default when delays in performance are due to war, insurrection, strikes, lock-outs, riots, floods, earthquakes, fires, quarantine restrictions, freight embargoes, or court order, or any other similar causes (other than lack of funds of Contractor) beyond the control or without the fault of the Party claiming an extension of time to perform (“Force-Majeure Delays”).

Qualifications and Experience
Marinship Development Interest LLC was established in 2005 in California and operates as a Limited Liability Company (LLC).

Our main office is located at 1485 Bayshore Blvd., Suite 201, San Francisco, CA 94124, and we employ a full-time staff of 65 individuals, including project managers, superintendents, engineers, estimators, administrative professionals, and trades workers. We also have an Oakland office located at 2100 Embarcadero, Ste 205, Oakland, CA 94606. Marinship is signatory to the laborers, operating engineers, cement masons, millwrights, and carpenters unions. Our team is led by our Manager Member, Derek Smith, and our Senior Project Manager, Sal Villarreal, who combined hold over 55 years of experience in the construction industry working in civil works.

We also employ a team of assistant project managers and project engineers that assist in managing and planning daily tasks, generating RFIs and submittals, and ensuring that projects get completed per spec and within budget. We maintain a responsive team structure, ensuring that personnel with full authority for decision-making are always available for daily project communications.

Our administrative infrastructure is designed to support efficient project management for municipal and governmental clients. We utilize Procore, Clearstory, and Microsoft Project for detailed scheduling, and our accounting systems ensure timely and compliant invoicing and AR/AP processing. Change management processes are clearly documented, and our reporting practices include daily logs, RFI management, and submittal tracking to ensure transparency and accountability.

Marinship has a strong capability for self-performing critical scopes of work. Our internal teams handle excavation, grading, site preparation, underground utilities installation, concrete placement, demolition, hazardous material removal, street sweeping, sandblasting, pipe-bursting, and asphalt and concrete paving. Our extensive experience includes providing both emergency and non-emergency construction and repair services to public agencies including Caltrans, the Port of Oakland, City of Oakland, EMBUD, San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, Alameda County Public Works, and AC Transit.

Marinship has been participating in two three-year term job order contracts for the City of Oakland since 2023 for On-Call Sanitary Sewer Services and On-Call Construction Services.

Under this JOC Marinship completed the Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation of Sub-basin 56-01, rehabilitating 4,500 linear feet of sanitary sewer mains using pipe bursting, open-trench, and cured-in-place-pipe construction methods. Marinship has also completed the City of Oakland Trash Capture project 1006212 where our crews installed 375 Connector Pipe Screen (CPS) trash 867
capture devices in existing storm drain inlets across city streets and residential easements to effectively prevent trash from entering the storm drain system, with each device servicing drainage areas up to 2 acres.

Marinship is also participating in Job Order Contract 99: General Engineering (A License Construction) in San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Alameda Counties for the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission. Marinship has been awarded six task orders including the following completed task orders: JOC-99 Task Order #1 work includes raising a single tower, retrofitting another tower, and improving the footings on three towers, as well as damaged landscape renovation. JOC-99 Task Order #2 work includes raising, constructing, and installing a 15-foot waste cage extension on two towers. Our crew also installed foundation modifications for three towers, as well installed re-plumb insulators on adjacent structures using new armor rods if necessary. Marinship is currently working on Task Order #6 in which Marinship will perform electromagnetic (EM) Non-Destructive Testing for the 90" Hillsborough Tunnel, and LiDAR + CCTV inspections for the 60" Sunset Supply Pipeline.

Marinship maintains a long-standing relationship with Caltrans and has completed over a dozen emergency and non-emergency contacts since 2021. In 2021 Marinship was selected as the prime contractor to provide demolition services, debris removal and install concrete barrier walls and metal fencing under Oakland’s 880 Freeway and MacArthur Maze for Caltrans Emergency Contract 04-2W3404. In addition to forming, placing and finishing over 2,300 lineal feet of concrete barrier wall and four (4) foot high vinyl-clad fence, our crews provided waste removal and abandoned vehicle hauling. The scope of work also included installing barriers, storm drain extensions and lights underneath the freeway overpass with 24-hour security services. This contract was awarded two additional phases, with the work spanning over three years and totaling over $11,500,000.

In 2023 Marinship was awarded Caltrans emergency contract 04-3Y2104 for $710,000 after a mudslide on Highway 92 on the westbound side of highway 92 temporarily shut down the highway. Our crew worked around the clock to excavate the embankment and place rock slope protection by installing Geotech fabric along the embankment along with removal and disposal of non-conforming soil. Our crews also backfilled using native species and performed pavement and dike restoration. This project was followed by Caltrans Emergency Contract 04-2X9204 for $427,000 which was awarded and completed in May 2025. As the prime contractor, Marinship completed this fast-tracked project in just 16 nights! The work included demolition of the existing crash cushions, removal of old existing foundations, and the pouring of new concrete foundations to support the new SMART Cushions.

In addition to Caltrans, Marinship has performed various emergency and non-emergency projects for the Alameda County Public Works Department, where Marinship is certified as a small local business. In 2022, active channel runoff combined with outfall erosion and pavement failure caused a mudslide that exposed a washed-out culvert and resulted in the closure of Palomares Road. Marinship Development Interest LLC was awarded the emergency project by Alameda County Public Works for $567,000 on February 1st and had crews working around the clock to fully reopen the road for nearby residents and travelers. Marinship worked to dam and bypass the active channel run off to the waterway downstream by installing two pumps while our crew worked on the exposed creek side to reconstruct the outfall, creek alignment, and a new culvert. 868
Beyond these projects, Marinship Development Interest LLC has completed numerous highprofile developments. We served as a subcontractor for the Mission Rock Parcel A project in San Francisco, placing and finishing concrete for a 24-story high-rise apartment building aimed at achieving LEED Gold certification. Similarly, at the Bayview Safe Navigation Center, we handled sitework and utilities with limited subcontracting, delivering a $1.84 million project within 45 days.

As a CUCP disadvantaged and minority owned enterprise and a local and state certified small business, Marinship prioritizes community engagement by hiring local workers on projects and sponsoring local workers into apprenticeship programs. We engage other small, local, and/or disadvantaged subcontractors when able and provide support through mentorship and assistance.

Marinship has maintained long-term relationships with reliable subcontractors whom we use regularly for different scopes and would be happy to provide references and qualifications for the appropriate subcontractors once the scope of work is established. Our experience managing single trade coordination projects is equally robust. For the OAB SS-R-14 Circuit Upgrades, we managed high-voltage electrical work in collaboration with Hotline Construction while selfperforming civil construction activities, ensuring smooth coordination and quality execution within the $5.37 million budget. Marinship has never been disqualified from participating in a project.

In conclusion, Marinship Development Interest LLC’s experience performing on-call and emergency contract work for a variety of public agencies makes us uniquely qualified to provide on-call, minor construction, and emergency services to the City of Richmond Our proven track record, experienced leadership, and commitment to quality and community engagement make us an ideal partner for the City’s Public Works Department initiatives.

Proposed Approach and Methodology
Marinship Development Interest LLC employs a comprehensive and collaborative approach to successfully deliver construction services that align with the City of Richmond’s objectives.

In terms of bidding, Marinship uses reliable subcontractors that we have developed long-term relationships with. We maintain a vetted list of trade partners with proven performance histories.

For each project, we share bid documentation and solicit competitive proposals. Our selection criteria consider pricing, capacity, past performance, safety records, and adherence to project specifications. This ensures we engage the most capable subcontractors to complement our internal workforce. In the case of projects that involve multiple on-call contractors bidding simultaneously, we ensure transparency and competitive pricing through a structured internal review and selection process.

We develop a Quality Control Plan (QCP) for our employees and all of our projects. All employees of Marinship Development Interest, LLC (MDI) and all employees of subcontractors employed at the subject project will be required to adhere to all State, Local & Federal laws. The QCP is designed to provide overall guidance in the site-specific quality controls for this project and is to be used by appropriately trained and experienced individuals. However, it is not intended to be an all-encompassing document. Individuals using this document are assumed to possess the appropriate qualifications, knowledge, certificates, and training. Each new employee will be required to be indoctrinated before he/she starts work on the site. MDI has developed a company QCP which incorporates procedures for managerial/field work, non-compliance work, equipment, and material inspection guidelines. These policies and programs are implemented and administered throughout the life of this project. MDI will assume the responsibility of providing any necessary technical expertise so that this may be correctly and effectively implemented. All personnel covered by this QCP, including subcontractor personnel receive a copy of this document.

MDI divides the responsibilities outlined in the QCP by assigning responsibilities based on job title. The breakdown is as denoted in the following paragraphs:

MDI QC Manager as the on-site safety representative (SSR). This person whose name will be disclosed prior to mobilizing, will be on site as work is being performed. She/He will conduct quality control inspections during her daily job review. The QC manager will also ensure that the Owner approves and signs off on all material prior to install. Aside from quality control check on material, the SSR will make weekly formal inspections which will be documented and transmitted to the Project Manager. The SSR, has unrestricted access to materials, the storage facility where materials are kept and product data. Should she find irreparable damage or material quality issues, she/he will report it to the Project Manager and provide a recommendation on the next steps. Additionally, the SSR will work alongside the Project Foreman to interpret and implement the drawings. She/He will use all training, experience and OSHA standards to ensure that this work is implemented in an efficient and safe manner. Additionally, will monitor construction progress and immediately document any modifications made in field.

The Owner/Managing Member is responsible for providing overall oversight of all MDI projects.

Although this person will have a hands-off approach, this person will be in constant 872
communication with the MDI Project Manager. In the event of any potential conflict or delay, this person may choose to possess a more direct approach to alleviate conflicts or potential conflicts quickly and efficiently.

Project Manager is responsible for overall project management and has complete authority to act on behalf of MDI. This person oversees the superintendent, project engineer, foreman and the work they execute. Additionally, this person shall ensure that the Work is constructed correctly according to project plans and specifications and shall be responsible for the following:
administration of the construction contract; implementation of quality plans and environmental compliance requirements to assure all construction work is completed in conformance to the Contract Documents; management of construction schedules, costs and change orders; and ensures conformance to established policies and procedures for the management of the Project.

Project Engineer is to assist the project manager with ensuring that the Work is constructed correctly according to project plans and specifications. This may include but is not limited to submittals, material procurement, field support, as-builts, interpreting drawings for foreman, change orders, maintaining Project Record Documents and providing effective communication throughout the duration of the project.

The Superintendent is responsible for monitoring and providing direct oversight of field crews.

This person shall assist in preparing preconstruction estimates and budgets, preparing the work schedule so as to avoid conflicts; communicate site rules regarding safety procedures to filed and office staff; supervise foremen and assign daily job specific duties; coordinating the activities of a variety of trades people, professional and laborers; inspecting the work performed by employees, and subcontractors; maintain record of expenses, supplies, materials, schedules and as-built drawings.

The Foreman is responsible for administering field work according to the schedule in a safe manner. Foreman reports to both the superintendent and project manager. This person will document the work with photographs and attend work meetings as required by the project team.

Concerning Safety, our firm has a strong safety culture led by our Safety Director, George Elsmore. Mr. Elsmore has over 25 years of experience in safety management and is a certified Cal OSHA trainer. He is responsible for overseeing all safety operations, conducting incident reviews and WC reporting, trainings/certification, and ensuring compliance with OSHA and Cal/OSHA regulations. Our safety program emphasizes proactive hazard identification, employee training, daily safety briefings, and quarterly job site audits. In addition to Mr. Elsmore, we have our Safety Manager Luis Martinez who is available to provide on-site support, conducting sitespecific safety orientations and daily job site audits and inspections. By fostering a culture of safety awareness, we aim to minimize risks, ensure secure job sites, and enhance overall productivity.

Marinship’s methods for tracking a project, milestones and deadlines involves a combination of detailed scheduling, progress meetings with the project team and with the Owner. 873
Schedules are developed in accordance with the project specifications, project plans and the Owner’s timelines. If there are no Specifications or the Project Plans, we will typically refer to the latest Caltrans Standards unless otherwise requested by the Owner. For any new project, we provide two types of schedules, a baseline schedule and a four-week lookahead. The baseline schedule is a fixed schedule used to plan the overall project. It will list activities, activity duration and anticipated stated date. The schedule will furthermore identify any activities that have a critical path. This schedule does not change. The four-week lookahead is a working schedule that gets updated weekly. It lists the activities from the week prior as well as work occurring within the next three weeks. It is more detailed and subject to change based on new information or new discoveries made in the field. The schedule is one of the most important tools to ensure that the project team is meeting deadlines. Deviations from the schedule are analyzed, documented and if needed, may result in a request for further direction from the Owner.

Therefore, schedules are pivotal to Marinship as they are used to plan, execute and document changes to the Owner.

Progress meetings with the project team vary and may include anything from daily calls with the foreman to monthly resource management meetings. During the daily calls with the foreman, the intent of the call is to check in about the day-to-day activities and understand the progress made and to pre-plan scopes for the following days. These calls are meant to ensure schedules are being met but also to understand the field laborers’ needs and if needed, make adjustments to increase productivity. This may be as simple as switching the equipment on site or ordering less trucking to reduce congestion on the street. The daily check-ins are essential to continuously manage progress.

Project meetings with the Owner are typically held twice a month. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss the following topics: permits, submittals, RFI’s, COR’s, applications for payment and construction scheduling. These meetings may be held more or less frequently per the Owner’s discretion. These meetings are valuable to Marinship because they provide the opportunity to show our accountability to complete this project in timely and financially responsible Our approach and methodology are designed to deliver high-quality, safe, and efficient project execution, making Marinship Development Interest LLC a reliable and committed partner for the City of Richmond.

If the Contractor cures the breach within the time specified in the notice or, if the breach cannot be cured in the time specified but the Contractor has diligently pursued measures to cure the breach and to keep the City informed of its progress, then the breach shall not constitute a default provided that the breach is cured within thirty (30) days from the date of the City’s last notice and demand to cure.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 3.1 Relationship of Parties.

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be interpreted or understood by any of the Parties, or by any third persons, as creating the relationship of employer and employee, principal and agent, limited or general partnership, or joint venture between the City and Contractor or its agents, employees or subcontractors, and Contractor shall at all times be deemed an independent contractor and shall be wholly responsible for the manner in which it or its agents, or both, perform the services required of it by the terms of this Agreement. Contractor has and retains the right to exercise full control of employment, direction, compensation, and discharge of all persons assisting in the performance of services under the Agreement. In regards to the construction of the Project, Contractor shall be solely responsible for all matters relating to payment of its employees, including compliance with Social Security, withholding, and all other laws and regulations governing such matters, and shall include requirements in each contract that subcontractors shall be solely responsible for similar matters relating to their employees.

Section 3.2 Change Orders.
(a) Changes affecting the time of performance, unit pricing, or total contract price shall be set forth in a written Change Order that shall specify:

1. The work performed in connection with the change to be made;

2. The amount of the adjustment to the Payment Limit, if any, and the basis for compensation for the work ordered. For any change to the scope of work that results in a Change Order, the Contractor and all lower-tier Subcontractors shall be entitled to a cumulative markup on the cost of the work for that change, which shall not exceed a total of twenty percent (20%). This markup shall cover all direct and indirect costs associated with the change, including but not limited to labor, materials, equipment, subcontractor overhead, and profit. The Contractor shall provide a detailed breakdown of all costs and markups included in the Change Order. For any deductive change orders, the same twenty percent (20%) markup percentage shall be applied to the cost reduction; and

(e) The Public Works Director or their designee may approve Change Orders with a cumulative value up to ten percent (10%) of the value of the individual Work Authorization, rather than the master contract value.

Section 3.3 Claims By Contractor.
(a) No Third-Party Claims. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create or justify any claim against the City by any person that Contractor may have employed or with whom Contractor may have contracted relative to the purchase of materials, supplies or equipment, or the furnishing or the performance of any work or services with respect to the construction of the Project, and Contractor shall include similar requirements in any contracts entered into for the construction of the Project. Pursuant to Section 9204 (d)(5) of the Public Contract Code, however, Contractor may present a claim on behalf of a subcontractor for work which was performed by that subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor. Such claim shall have been reviewed and evaluated by Contractor prior to submission to the City.
(b) Obligation to File Claims for Disputed Work. Should it appear to the Contractor that the work to be performed or any of the matters relative to the Contract Documents are not satisfactorily detailed or explained therein, or should any questions arise as to the meaning or intent of the Contract Documents, or should any dispute arise regarding the true value of any work performed, work omitted, extra work that the Contractor may be required to perform, time extensions, payment to the Contractor during performance of the work, construction of the Project, and/or compliance with procedures or standards set forth in the Contract Documents, or should Contractor otherwise seek extra time or compensation FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, then Contractor shall first follow the procedures set forth in this Agreement, including but not limited to Section 3.2, “Change Orders.” If a dispute remains, then Contractor shall give written notice to the City that expressly invokes this Section 3.3 and requests a determination of the issue. City shall decide the issue in writing within 15 days; City’s decision shall be final and the limitations period for the filing of a claim shall commence upon the City’s issuance of its decision. If Contractor disagrees with City’s decision, or if Contractor contends that City failed to provide a timely decision, then Contractor’s SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY is to file a written claim setting forth Contractor’s position as required herein. (c) Form and Contents of Claim. The Claim shall be submitted to the City within thirty (30) days of receiving the City’s written decision regarding the dispute, or the date the Contractor contends such decision was due, and in no event later than the date of final payment. Contractor’s written claim must identify itself as a “Claim” under this Section

3.3 and must include the following: (1) a narrative of pertinent events; (2) citation to contract provisions; (3) theory of entitlement; (4) complete pricing of all cost impacts; (5) a time impact analysis of all time delays that shows actual time impact on the critical path; (6) documentation supporting items 1 – 5; and (7) verification under penalty of perjury of the claim’s accuracy. The Claim shall be priced like a Change Order, and must be updated every thirty (30) days as to cost and entitlement if it remains a continuing Claim. Routine contract materials, for example, correspondence, RFI, Change Order requests, or payment requests shall not constitute a Claim. Contractor shall bear all costs incurred in preparation, submittal, and administration of a Claim. 892
On-Call General Contractor Services City of Richmond
CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT 12
(d) Administration After Claim Submittal.

1. City may render a final decision based solely on the materials submitted in support of the Claim or may in its sole discretion conduct an administrative hearing on the Claim, in which case Contractor shall appear, participate, answer inquiries, and present any further evidence or analysis requested by City. Should City take no action on the Claim within forty-five (45) days (or any extension thereof mutually agreed upon by City and Contractor, or any such greater time to respond afforded City under Section 9204(d)(1)(C) of the Public Contract Code) of submittal, it shall be deemed denied.

2. If Contractor disputes City’s written response, or if City fails to respond to a Claim within the time prescribed, Contractor may demand in writing an informal conference to meet and confer for settlement of the issues in dispute. Upon receipt of a demand in writing sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, City will schedule a meet and confer conference within thirty (30) days for settlement of the dispute.

3. Within ten (10) business days following the conclusion of the meet and confer conference, if the Claim or any portion of the Claim remains in dispute, City will provide Contractor a written statement identifying the portion of the Claim that remains in dispute and the portion that is undisputed. Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the Claim will be processed and made within sixty (60) days after City issues its written statement. Any disputed portion of the Claim, as identified by Contractor in writing, shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation, with City and Contractor sharing the associated costs equally. City and Contractor shall mutually agree to a mediator within ten (10) business days after the disputed portion of the Claim has been identified in writing. If City and Contractor cannot agree upon a mediator, each party shall select a mediator, and those mediators shall select a qualified neutral third party to mediate with regard to the disputed portion of the Claim. Each party shall bear the fees and costs charged by its respective mediator in connection with the selection of the neutral mediator. If mediation is unsuccessful, the parts of the Claim remaining in dispute shall be subject to Section 3.3(f) of this Agreement.

4. Failure by City to respond to a Claim within the time periods described in Section 9204 of the Public Contract Code or to otherwise comply with the time requirements of that section shall result in the Claim being deemed rejected in its entirety. A Claim that is denied by reason of City’s failure to have responded to a claim, or its failure to otherwise comply with the time requirements of Section 9204 of the Public Contract Code, shall not constitute an adverse finding with regard to the merits of the Claim or the responsibility or qualifications of the claimant filing the Claim.

5. Notwithstanding and pending the resolution of any Claim or dispute, Contractor shall diligently perform the disputed work to final completion in accordance with the City’s direction.
(e) Compliance

On-Call General Contractor Services City of Richmond
CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT 13

If the Contractor cures the breach within the time specified in the notice or, if the breach cannot be cured in the time specified but the Contractor has diligently pursued measures to cure the breach and to keep the City informed of its progress, then the breach shall not constitute a default provided that the breach is cured within thirty (30) days from the date of the City’s last notice and demand to cure.

Section 2.2 Remedies.

The occurrence of any Default hereunder following the expiration of all applicable notice and cure periods will, either at the option of the City or automatically where so specified, relieve the City of any obligation to make or continue payments and shall give the City the right to proceed with any and all remedies set forth in the Contract Documents, including but not limited to the following:
(a) Specific Performance. The City shall have the right to mandamus or other suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity to require Contractor to perform its obligations and covenants under this Agreement or to enjoin acts on things which may be unlawful or in violation of the provisions of this Agreement.

ARTICLE III

GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 3.1 Relationship of Parties.

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be interpreted or understood by any of the Parties, or by any third persons, as creating the relationship of employer and employee, principal and agent, limited or general partnership, or joint venture between the City and Contractor or its agents, employees or subcontractors, and Contractor shall at all times be deemed an independent contractor and shall be wholly responsible for the manner in which it or its agents, or both, perform the services required of it by the terms of this Agreement. Contractor has and retains the right to exercise full control of employment, direction, compensation, and discharge of all persons assisting in the performance of services under the Agreement. In regards to the construction of the Project, Contractor shall be solely responsible for all matters relating to payment of its employees, including compliance with Social Security, withholding, and all other laws and regulations governing such matters, and shall include requirements in each contract that subcontractors shall be solely responsible for similar matters relating to their employees. Contractor shall be solely responsible for its own acts and those of its agents and employees.

Section 3.2 Change Orders.
(a) Changes affecting the time of performance, unit pricing, or total contract price shall be set forth in a written Change Order that shall specify:

1. The work performed in connection with the change to be made;

2. The amount of the adjustment to the Payment Limit, if any, and the basis for compensation for the work ordered. For any change to the scope of work that results in a Change Order, the Contractor and all lower-tier Subcontractors shall be entitled to a cumulative markup on the cost of the work for that change, which shall not exceed a total of twenty percent (20%). This markup shall cover all direct and indirect costs associated with the change, including but not limited to labor, materials, equipment, subcontractor overhead, and profit. The Contractor shall provide a detailed breakdown of all costs and markups included in the Change Order. For any deductive change orders, the same twenty percent (20%) markup percentage shall be applied to the cost reduction; and

3. The amount of time to be adjusted in the schedule for performance, if any. (b) A Change Order will become effective when signed by the Department Head, or his or her representative, notwithstanding that Contractor has not signed it. A Change Order 919
On-Call General Contractor Services City of Richmond
CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT 11
will become effective without Contractor’s signature, provided the Department Head or his or her representative so indicates by noting thereon “unilateral change order.” (c) All changes in any plans and specification approved by any authority with jurisdiction over the Project may also require addenda or change orders approved by that authority. (d) Where the City requests, a performance bond rider covering the changed work must be executed and delivered to the City before proceeding with the changed work, or shortly in time thereafter.
(e) The Public Works Director or their designee may approve Change Orders with a cumulative value up to ten percent (10%) of the value of the individual Work Authorization, rather than the master contract value.

Section 3.3 Claims By Contractor.
(a) No Third-Party Claims. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create or justify any claim against the City by any person that Contractor may have employed or with whom Contractor may have contracted relative to the purchase of materials, supplies or equipment, or the furnishing or the performance of any work or services with respect to the construction of the Project, and Contractor shall include similar requirements in any contracts entered into for the construction of the Project. Pursuant to Section 9204 (d)(5) of the Public Contract Code, however, Contractor may present a claim on behalf of a subcontractor for work which was performed by that subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor. Such claim shall have been reviewed and evaluated by Contractor prior to submission to the City.
(b) Obligation to File Claims for Disputed Work. Should it appear to the Contractor that the work to be performed or any of the matters relative to the Contract Documents are not satisfactorily detailed or explained therein, or should any questions arise as to the meaning or intent of the Contract Documents, or should any dispute arise regarding the true value of any work performed, work omitted, extra work that the Contractor may be required to perform, time extensions, payment to the Contractor during performance of the work, construction of the Project, and/or compliance with procedures or standards set forth in the Contract Documents, or should Contractor otherwise seek extra time or compensation FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, then Contractor shall first follow the procedures set forth in this Agreement, including but not limited to Section 3.2, “Change Orders.” If a dispute remains, then Contractor shall give written notice to the City that expressly invokes this Section 3.3 and requests a determination of the issue. City shall decide the issue in writing within 15 days; City’s decision shall be final and the limitations period for the filing of a claim shall commence upon the City’s issuance of its decision. If Contractor disagrees with City’s decision, or if Contractor contends that City failed to provide a timely decision, then Contractor’s SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY is to file a written claim setting forth Contractor’s position as required herein. (c) Form and Contents of Claim. The Claim shall be submitted to the City within thirty (30) days of receiving the City’s written decision regarding the dispute, or the date the Contractor contends such decision was due, and in no event later than the date of final payment. Contractor’s written claim must identify itself as a “Claim” under this Section

3.3 and must include the following: (1) a narrative of pertinent events; (2) citation to contract provisions; (3) theory of entitlement; (4) complete pricing of all cost impacts; (5) a time impact analysis of all time delays that shows actual time impact on the critical path; (6) documentation supporting items 1 – 5; and (7) verification under penalty of perjury of the claim’s accuracy. The Claim shall be priced like a Change Order, and must be updated every thirty (30) days as to cost and entitlement if it remains a continuing 920
On-Call General Contractor Services City of Richmond
CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT 12
Claim. Routine contract materials, for example, correspondence, RFI, Change Order requests, or payment requests shall not constitute a Claim. Contractor shall bear all costs incurred in preparation, submittal, and administration of a Claim. (d) Administration After Claim Submittal.

1. City may render a final decision based solely on the materials submitted in support of the Claim or may in its sole discretion conduct an administrative hearing on the Claim, in which case Contractor shall appear, participate, answer inquiries, and present any further evidence or analysis requested by City. Should City take no action on the Claim within forty-five (45) days (or any extension thereof mutually agreed upon by City and Contractor, or any such greater time to respond afforded City under Section 9204(d)(1)(C) of the Public Contract Code) of submittal, it shall be deemed denied.

2. If Contractor disputes City’s written response, or if City fails to respond to a Claim within the time prescribed, Contractor may demand in writing an informal conference to meet and confer for settlement of the issues in dispute. Upon receipt of a demand in writing sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, City will schedule a meet and confer conference within thirty (30) days for settlement of the dispute.

3. Within ten (10) business days following the conclusion of the meet and confer conference, if the Claim or any portion of the Claim remains in dispute, City will provide Contractor a written statement identifying the portion of the Claim that remains in dispute and the portion that is undisputed. Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the Claim will be processed and made within sixty (60) days after City issues its written statement. Any disputed portion of the Claim, as identified by Contractor in writing, shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation, with City and Contractor sharing the associated costs equally. City and Contractor shall mutually agree to a mediator within ten (10) business days after the disputed portion of the Claim has been identified in writing. If City and Contractor cannot agree upon a mediator, each party shall select a mediator, and those mediators shall select a qualified neutral third party to mediate with regard to the disputed portion of the Claim. Each party shall bear the fees and costs charged by its respective mediator in connection with the selection of the neutral mediator. If mediation is unsuccessful, the parts of the Claim remaining in dispute shall be subject to Section 3.3(f) of this Agreement.

4. Failure by City to respond to a Claim within the time periods described in Section 9204 of the Public Contract Code or to otherwise comply with the time requirements of that section shall result in the Claim being deemed rejected in its entirety. A Claim that is denied by reason of City’s failure to have responded to a claim, or its failure to otherwise comply with the time requirements of Section 9204 of the Public Contract Code, shall not constitute an adverse finding with regard to the merits of the Claim or the responsibility or qualifications of the claimant filing the Claim.

5. Notwithstanding and pending the resolution of any Claim or dispute, Contractor shall diligently perform the disputed work to final completion in accordance with the City’s direction.
(e) Compliance

1. The provisions of this Section 3.3 constitute a non-judicial claim settlement procedure that, pursuant to California Government Code Section 930.2, shall 921
On-Call General Contractor Services City of Richmond
CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT 13
constitute a condition precedent to the submittal of a valid claim under the California Government Code. Any Government Code claims alleging disputed work must affirmatively indicate prior compliance with this Section 3.3. In accordance with Richmond Municipal Code Section 1.10.010(b), all Government Code claims must be presented no later than the 100th day after the earlier of (i) the date the City actively or passively denied the Claim, or (ii) substantial completion or termination of the contract.

2. Failure to submit and administer Claims as required in Section 3.3 shall waive Contractor’s right to compensation for any disputed work not included in a timely Claim. Disputes not raised in a timely protest and timely Claim submitted under this Section 3.3 may not be asserted in any subsequent Government Code claim, administrative hearing, or civil action.

3. City shall not be deemed to waive any provision under this Section 3.3 if, at City’s sole discretion, a Claim is administered in a manner not in accord with this Section 3.3. Waivers or modifications of this Section 3.3 may only be made by signed Change Order approved as to form by legal counsel for both City and Contractor. Oral or implied modifications shall be of no force or effect.

Section 3.4 Indemnification.
(a) To the fullest extent permissible by law, Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless, and require its subcontractors to defend, indemnify and hold harmless, the City, its elected and appointed officials, and all of its employees, volunteers and agents (the “Indemnified Parties”), from all liability, penalties, costs, losses, damages, expenses, causes of action, claims or judgments, including attorney’s fees and other defense costs (collectively, “Actions”), resulting from injury to or death sustained by any person (including Contractor’s or any subcontractors’ employees), or damage to property of any kind, or any other injury or damage whatsoever, which Actions arise out of or are in any way connected with the construction of the Project, regardless of Contractor’s fault or negligence; provided, however, that Contractor’s, and Contractor’s subcontractors’ indemnity obligations hereunder shall not apply to the extent any Actions are caused by the active negligence or willful act or omission of an Indemnified Party. The indemnification obligations of Contractor and its subcontractors shall extend to Actions asserted after termination of this Agreement for whatever reason for the full period of time allowed by law.
(b) In Actions against any person or entity indemnified under Section 3.4(a) above by an employee of Contractor or its subcontractors, anyone directly or indirectly employed by any one of them or anyone for whose acts one of them may be liable, the indemnification obligation under Section 3.4(a) above shall not be limited by a limitation on amount or type of damages, compensation of benefits payable under workers’ compensation acts, disability benefit acts or other employee benefit acts. (c) The defense and indemnification obligations set forth in Section 3.4(a) above are undertaken in addition to, and shall not in any way be limited by, the insurance obligations set forth in the RFP.

Section 3.5 Non-Liability of City Officials, Employees and Agents.

No member, official, employee or agent of the City shall be personally liable to Contractor in the event of any default or breach by the City or for any amount which may become due to Contractor or its successor or on any obligation under the terms of this Agreement. 922

Section 3.12 Force Majeure.

S2S brings a proven approach to on-call general contractor services—grounded in responsiveness, quality control, and safety. Our team is structured to manage both scheduled and emergency projects with precision and flexibility, ensuring the City receives high-performance execution across diverse scopes of work.

Bidding
S2S has developed a deep and reliable pool of subcontractors through years of successful project delivery.

We evaluate subcontractors on a case-by-case basis depending on the specific project requirements, timelines, and cost parameters. Upon notice of a task order, we initiate a structured process of requesting pricing and availability from qualified firms. Selections are based on the most feasible and cost-effective solution, while maintaining quality and schedule integrity. The subcontractors are held to the same high standards of safety, performance, and communication as our in-house team. S2S’s longstanding relationships with these subcontractors allow us to rapidly mobilize the right team for each task, whether competitive bidding is required or not.

Quality Control
Quality assurance is central to every S2S project. S2S Construction teams conduct regular inspections, internal quality audits, and site walk-throughs to ensure compliance with project specifications and regulatory standards. For projects, such as paving, restoration, or utility support, our team closely monitors construction methods to ensure durability, finish quality, and long-term performance. Our team meets twice weekly to review ongoing and upcoming projects, address field challenges, and identify areas for improvement. These meetings support a culture of accountability and allow our management staff to proactively adjust plans as needed to ensure success.

Detailed Project Scheduling
As soon as a project start date is established—whether for routine or emergency response work—S2S initiates internal coordination to ensure complete readiness. This includes confirming field personnel, mobilization needs, and material procurement. Our biweekly planning meetings serve as the foundation for tracking active projects, managing resource allocation, and forecasting future staffing or supply needs.

For emergency services, our team is available 24/7 and able to deploy within hours, as demonstrated in our recent PG&E and DGS response work. This proactive scheduling approach minimizes delays and ensures adherence to project milestones.

Safety
S2S’s Director of Construction Operations, Tanner Drake, is a Certified Construction Health and Safety Technician (CHST), credentialed by the Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP). His resume and CHST certificate are included in Appendix A.

Safety is S2S’s highest priority—for both our workforce and the public. We implement the necessary construction signage, barricades, and safety barriers to clearly delineate work zones and protect everyone on site. S2S maintains full compliance with personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements, regulatory 944

We installed over six miles of fencing that we designed with PG&E biologists and stormwater professionals. This fencing served two purposes: biological exclusion for California Tiger Salamander, and as a silt fence. Serving both needs with one fence saved both time and money. Additionally, we designed a new reusable escape funnel, which both sped up the process and proved to be very economical and efficient. We installed over 600 on the project. This project also required the installation of 14 miles of fiber roll, 15 acres of hydroseed, and 10 miles of delineation fencing. We worked closely with both pipeline contractors, the landowners, and PG&E’s Environmental group.
