BILLING PROTOCOLS/GUIDELINES
The City of Richmond (“City”) has adopted the following protocols for billing, budgeting, and planning for projects involving outside counsel. Special Counsel will be required to comply with this protocol. If you have questions concerning it, please contact the City Attorney for clarification. In the event you wish to negotiate changes due to the internal operation of your firm, please raise them in writing as soon as possible. Any changes to this protocol will need prior, written approval from the City Attorney. In the interest of fairness, all Special Counsel is required to comply with this protocol. This protocol is also to be used in conjunction with any new proposal for services.

These protocols and guidelines are instituted to ensure that Special Counsel conveys the information necessary for the City Attorney to manage outside projects and litigation.

Also, because these guidelines are set out in advance, they are designed to minimize any confusion or misunderstanding. Compliance with these guidelines should enhance the attorney-client relationship. If you have any comments or suggestions that could improve this system, please feel free to contact the City Attorney.

I. BILLING FORMAT
Unless otherwise agreed, the following information must be provided in monthly bills:
a. A detailed description of work, in time increments of .1 hour (one tenth of an hour) for and by each and every individual billing services. b. Identification of the lawyer who is in charge of the matter. c. Reasonably detailed disbursement breakdowns with backup documentation of any individual charge exceeding $100.00.
d. Each billing item must be separately stated on a separate line identifying the individual performing the services, the time spent and the exact nature of the service rendered.
e. When charges are made for research time, the specific issue being researched and the need for the research should be identified.
f. Each item billed should be coded to a specific litigation budget line item, if applicable.
g. The City Attorney reserves the right to request various levels of detail and specific formats (such as columnar comparisons with established budgets). 146
Exhibit B
12 Org LSA—Goldfarb (combined land use)
DocID #57057v1
II. BILLING GUIDELINES
a. All tasks set forth in Special Counsel’s billing documentation shall be specific and detailed. Overly generalized listings of task descriptions such as “review contract” or “prepare for negotiations” are not acceptable. b. Billings under this Agreement shall not be provided in more than six (6) minute increments and shall represent the devotion of a full six minutes before an increment is billed. Under no circumstances shall Special Counsel use “block billing” procedures, wherein a list or series of activities is done each day with only an aggregate amount of time specified. c. Special Counsel shall keep the City advised of the identity and billing rates of those people working on the project account.
d. All time shall be billed within 30 days of the end of the month in which services were performed.
e. Counsel shall advise City whenever it anticipates the amount of services necessary to properly execute the task will exceed the amount of the contract.

When accrued billings are equal to eighty percent (80%) of the Payment Limit, written notice shall be given to the City as soon as possible, via e-mail, to the City Attorney’s Office, of this fact. In order to satisfy this notification requirement, Counsel shall monitor its accrued billings on a weekly basis and immediately notify the City Attorney if the eighty percent (80%) threshold is met. Special Counsel acknowledges the fiscal constraints on City funding and therefore Special Counsel assumes risk of non-payment for services rendered in the event the amount of services rendered exceeds the amount of the contract unless prior written authorization is received. Authorization to exceed the amount set forth in Exhibit A may be given only by City Attorney in writing.
f. Only those attorneys approved by the City may bill on the case. g. The City expects the attorney assigned to the case to handle all significant matters in the litigation. The City Attorney must approve in advance the assignment of other attorneys to the litigation or project. The City may request that the assigned work be instead handled by the primary attorney. h. Special Counsel shall not charge for more than one attorney at any hearing, deposition, or meeting of any kind without advance approval of the City Attorney.
i. No more than two paraprofessionals may bill on a particular case without the prior approval of the City.
147
Exhibit B
13 Org LSA—Goldfarb (combined land use)
DocID #57057v1
j. The City has retained Special Counsel for its expertise, and therefore expects not to be billed for introductory or background research. City appreciates when Special Counsel has researched an issue previously and uses that research on present cases or projects. Do not charge the City for work Special Counsel has done and billed another client for in the past. k. Within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date of this Agreement, Special Counsel shall provide any manuals or policies describing Special Counsel’s billing practices.
l. The City does not allow “double billing” of any sort. If Special Counsel is working on another client’s matter, do not bill City for that time. This applies to travel time or any other matter.
m. Training time is not billable. Law clerks may be used only with prior approval.
n. City will not pay for new attorneys to “get up to speed” on a file unless it has been preapproved.
o. If a matter arises that requires Special Counsel to open a new file, the City Attorney should be informed immediately.
p. City reserves the right to require additional substantiation of any item of claimed expense.

III. REIMBURSEMENTS
a. The City will reimburse Special Counsel for the following expenses, and for no other expenses:
 Actual printing costs;
 Copying costs at $.12 / page (for legal documents and file materials, but not library materials);
 Actual cost of postage (including express mail delivery charges);  Facsimile charges at the rate of $0.25 per page;
 Actual cost of long distance telephone calls;

 Reasonable travel. The City does not pay for meals unless Attorney is required to be away from office for one full day. All meals and/or travel reimbursements will be subject to approval by the City Attorney. Travel expenses are limited to the lesser of actual expenses or expenses that would be authorized for City employee travel pursuant to City policy. b. The City Attorney must approve in advance any single reimbursement item in excess of $250.
148
Exhibit B
14 Org LSA—Goldfarb (combined land use)
DocID #57057v1
c. Any expense other than those listed in section “a.” must be approved by the City Attorney in writing and in advance in an approved budget. d. No compensation shall be allowed for administrative overhead or premiums added to the direct cost of research support or other services. e. Court filings shall be prepared in a timely manner so that “rush” or “expedited” messenger fees are not incurred.
f. Messenger and other charges in excess of actual costs are not permitted. City does not allow cost, plus a percentage, for actual outside costs g. City does not pay for secretarial time or secretarial overtime. City does not pay attorneys or paralegals for secretarial tasks or tasks that should not be included in Special Counsel’s overhead. For example, faxing, mailing, arranging for messengers and calendaring are not acceptable charges. h. City does not pay for billing or discussions of bills, including discussions initiated by the City or City’s requests for additional information about a bill. i. The practice of minimum billing charges is prohibited. Please charge for actual time spent. For example, a minimum of .2 for phone calls or .4 for letters is unreasonable unless it is an accurate measure of time spent. j. Do not charge for file opening or file closing. These are not true legal services, tasks or adequate descriptions of legal activities. 149

Exhibit D
16 Org LSA—Goldfarb (combined land use)
DocID #57057v1
California Joint Powers Risk Management Authority
Mandatory Case Reporting Policy
Pursuant to Section VII (Conditions) of the Memorandum of Coverage, the following rule is applicable to all cases reported to CJPRMA.

The Authority shall be entitled to complete access to the covered party’s claim file, the defense attorney’s complete file, and all investigation material and reports, including all evaluations and information on negotiations. The covered party shall be responsible to report the progress of the litigation and any significant developments at least quarterly to the Authority, and to provide the Authority with simultaneous copies of all correspondence provided to the covered party by its defense attorneys and/or its agents.

In addition, the CJPRMA Board of Directors has adopted the following mandatory case reporting standards:
1) Defense counsel is expected to provide a written analysis of liability and exposure in any reported claim no later than ninety days following receipt of the file from the member agency. CJPRMA understands that the liability picture may develop as discovery is ongoing, but this does not excuse the responsibility of providing an early, objective analysis of the file, subject to later developments. An early analysis not only permits the JPA member to set an accurate reserve level, but also permits the member entity to decide whether to actively litigate the case, try to settle the case, or limit discovery based upon the exposure.
2) The initial status report should provide, at a minimum, a brief synopsis of the facts giving rise to the lawsuit; the status of the pleadings, including any discussions of demurrers or motions to dismiss, or cross-complaints; a summary and analysis of plaintiff’s injuries, damages and exposures in the case; an initial impression of liability; any requests for additional investigation; a brief outline of the discovery planned; and an evaluation of anticipated litigation costs. The report need not be lengthy, and typically might not exceed three to five pages, but must address the issues directly and in a straightforward manner so that the member entity and CJPRMA can set cost and loss reserves as necessary. 3) Defense counsel is responsible to report, in writing, the setting of a trial date, settlement conference date, hearing date on motion for summary judgment or similar dispositive motion in any litigated case, within one week of the date on which a court establishes such date.
4) Defense counsel is responsible to report, in writing, all settlement demands or offers within one week of the time the offer is made or the demand is received. 151
Exhibit D
17 Org LSA—Goldfarb (combined land use)
DocID #57057v1
5) Defense counsel is responsible to report, in writing, on the substance of all depositions taken in the case. This need not be a multi-page deposition summary, but must, at a minimum, include a concise report of major events occurring at the deposition, and an evaluation of the effect of the deposition testimony on the case. 6) Finally, no later than sixty days before the date set for trial in any case, defense counsel is responsible to report, in writing, on (1) an assessment of liability in the case, (2) the adverse potential exposure if liability is found, (3) a concise summary of injuries sustained and/or claims, (4) an assessment of any other factors (such as local jury tendencies, appearance of important witnesses, etc.) that may affect the liability analysis or exposure assessment, and (5) an opinion on the settlement value of the case. 7) All status reports from defense counsel must be copied to the CJPRMA Board member whose entity is involved in the claim.

This policy is designed to protect the member entity and CJPRMA, so that they can make informed litigation decisions on reported cases. Past experience has shown that defense counsel retained by the member entities of CJPRMA are high-caliber, hard working attorneys who have done very well for their clients, and CJPRMA is grateful for their efforts. Defense counsel are cautioned, however, that case reporting is given a high priority by CJPRMA and its members, and is a major consideration in evaluating counsel’s performance. 152

LITIGATION GUIDELINES
The following guidelines should be followed when the scope of work includes representing the City in litigation:
a. The Special Counsel shall consult the City Attorney regarding the component parts of litigation handled so that the City Attorney, in consultation with the City Council, if necessary, can determine whether a particular activity is reasonable in light of its costs and benefits.
b. The City Attorney must approve the identity and number of staff assigned to the litigation, and any changes.
c. All pleadings shall be submitted to the City Attorney for review prior to filing. d. Copies of major work product, pleadings, motions, orders, decisions, research memoranda, reports on significant developments, and quarterly status reports shall be submitted to keep the City Attorney advised of any major developments in the lawsuit.

Such copies shall be provided in electronic format compatible with software in the City Attorney’s office.
e. Generally, the City Attorney will rely upon Special Counsel for guidance on litigation strategy. Nonetheless, prior approval from the City Attorney is necessary for demurrers, motions for summary judgment and discovery motions.
f. City expects that Special Counsel will resolve all discovery disputes without court intervention. If this is impossible due to the conduct of others, please inform the City Attorney immediately. City’s intent is to have discovery be fair and open with the money spent on reviewing relevant items that are discovered, not on discovery battles. g. Provide full descriptions of legal tasks performed. This will help the City Attorney follow case development and understand Firm’s strategy. h. Some types of litigation-related expenses require prior approval by the City Attorney, including, but not limited to, experts and investigators. Expenses over a certain dollar amount always require prior approval. See Section III (Reimbursements) of Exhibit B (Billing Protocols and Guidelines) of this Agreement for a list of those expenses that may be reimbursed.

Regional Measure 3 (RM3)
Regional Measure 3 (RM3), approved by Bay Area voters in 2018, finances highway and transit improvements by increasing tolls on the region’s state-owned bridges. As part of the RM3 Expenditure Plan, funding was specifically set aside for transportation projects in the City of Richmond to improve access to the Richmond–San Rafael Bridge.

A portion of this allocation has been designated to support the construction of two of the TCC Richmond Rising projects, Neighborhood Complete Streets and Richmond Wellness Trail Phase II:

1. Neighborhood Complete Streets. The Neighborhood Complete Streets Project will support safe and comfortable pedestrian and bicycle connectivity from Richmond’s Iron Triangle Neighborhood to the Richmond Ferry Terminal. This project will also fund construction for traffic signal improvements and pedestrian scale lighting. The Neighborhood Complete Streets Project features improvements on Harbour Way South, Wright Ave, and Ohio Ave, also linking to other bikeways at the Richmond-San Rafel Bridge.

Harbour Way South: This street was identified in Richmond’s Local Road Safety Plan as part of the City’s multimodal High Injury Network. Harbour Way South is a north-south connection between the Iron Triangle and Downtown Richmond to the Richmond Ferry, serves several neighborhoods, connects to the Richmond Greenway which provides access to the Ohlone Greenway to the east and connects through Point Richmond to the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge to the 161

west. At Pennsylvania Avenue, north of the project area, Harbour Way South connects to 13th Street. Neighborhood Complete Streets project have been planned to address the following improvements in this street:
 Chanslor Avenue to Hoffman Boulevard:
o Lane reduction from four to two lanes and Class IV Bicycle Lanes o New traffic signal at Florida Avenue and Harbour Way South to facilitate safety for all modes of transportation near Nystrom Elementary School and Richmond College Prep
o New traffic signals at Cutting Boulevard and Maine Avenue intersections
 Ohio Avenue and Chanslor Way intersections:
o Bus bulbs and bus stop enhancements for AC Transit Routes 70, 76, 675, and 681
o Tree planting
o Pedestrian scale lighting improvements
Wright Avenue: Wright Avenue is a low-volume, east-west street that connects Harbour Way South and Marina Way South (Richmond Wellness Trail) with a Class III bike route that is an existing segment of the S.F. Bay Trail. Sidewalks are incomplete with gaps on both sides of the street, sharrow markings are faded, and current pavement conditions make this route less comfortable for cyclists. Neighborhood Complete Streets project has been planned to address the following improvements in this section of Wright Avenue Street, including:
 Constructing sidewalks with ADA-compliant curb ramps on the south side of the street and completing any missing sidewalks on north side of the streets  Full pavement reconstruction
 Installation of storm drain facilities
 Installation of thermoplastic markings
 Wayfinding for Class III bicycle facility and Bay trail Ohio Avenue: Ohio Avenue is an east-west street that features Class IV bike lanes and connects the Richmond Greenway and Harbour Way South to bicycle facilities on Garrard Boulevard, which bring cyclists through Point Richmond to the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge. Existing bike lanes that cross the BNSF Railway are in poor condition and non-compliant with the California Public Utility Commission (CPUC) and BNSF requirements. Neighborhood Complete Streets project has been planned to address the following improvements in this street:
 Construct CPUC and BNSF-compliant Class IV bicycle lanes over BNSF railroad crossing
 Upgrade Class IV bike lanes from Harbour Way South to Garrard Boulevard

2. Richmond Wellness Trail. When completed will include a roadway reconfiguration or “road diet” on Marina Way South from the Richmond BART/Amtrak Station to the San Francisco Bay Trail. Richmond Wellness Trail 162

Phase II connects neighborhoods south of Cutting Boulevard to the Richmond Greenway, a key east-west bicycle route through the City of Richmond that provides access to the Ohlone Greenway Trail to the east and through the Point Richmond Neighborhood to the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge to the west.

Richmond Wellness Trail Phase II includes the following improvements on Marina Way South:

Cutting Boulevard to Wright Avenue:
 12’ two-way Class IV cycle track separated by travel lanes by a 6’ median and pop-up bicycle delineators
 Road diet on Marina Way South from 4 to 2 lanes
 Addition of planting strips and tree planting throughout Wayfinding signs and improvements from Wright Avenue to Hall Avenue:

 Addition of planting strips and tree planting throughout  Concrete bus islands/bulbs for AC Transit Route 74 stops  Pedestrian, vehicle, and bicycle accessibility improvements to two railroad crossings
 Wayfinding signs and improvements
Hall Avenue to Richmond Charter Academy Entrance (1450 Marina Way S.)  Vehicle lane width decreases from 20’ to 11-12’ in (1 lane in each direction)  6’ northbound and southbound Class IV bikeways separated by 4’ stripped buffers and pop-up bicycle delineators
 Wayfinding signs and improvements
Richmond Charter Academy Entrance (1450 Marina Way S.) to Bay Trail:
 Class III Bike route with sharrow markings
 Wayfinding signs and improvements
If RM3 funding is not accepted, other funding sources would need to be identified to address increased projects costs and to incorporate community priorities identified through recent outreach efforts. City staff therefore recommend that the City Council adopt the resolution to request allocation of RM3 funds, and, if awarded, accept and appropriate Regional Measure 3 (RM3) funding for construction of Neighborhood Complete Streets ($7,500,000) and Richmond Wellness Trail Phase II ($2,500,000) (Attachment 2 and 3).

RE: Award Notification – Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) Program, Round 4, Implementation Grant Award, City of Richmond, “Richmond Rising: Healthy, Connected, and Climate Strong” Dear Mayor Butt,
The California Strategic Growth Council (SGC) is pleased to inform you that the Council approved a Transformative Climate Communities Implementation award of $35 million dollars to the City of Richmond for “Richmond Rising:

Healthy, Connected, and Climate Strong” at its October 27, 2022, meeting. Previously funded by California’s Capand-Trade Program, Round 4 of TCC was funded by a FY 2021-2022 budget appropriation from the General Fund.

This program funding empowers the communities most impacted by pollution to choose their own goals, strategies, and projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and local air pollution. The TCC Program reflects the SGC’s commitment to support community-led transformation and achieve equitable, resilient communities and landscapes for all Californians. Congratulations on your successful application.

This letter provides a conditional commitment of grant funds. TCC staff will initiate the Post-Award Consultation (PAC) process soon by scheduling a meeting with the Awardee and sending a review package including review checklists for all projects and transformative plans. This process will involve addressing any outstanding issues identified by TCC staff, reviewers, and the interagency panel, as well as finalizing the grant agreement. Grantees and Partners will need to work closely and collaboratively with TCC Staff to address all issues prior to grant execution. All requested documentation and changes should be finalized within six (6) months after the Council makes awards. New to Round 4, we will provide a mini grant to support administrative, staff, and materials costs for Grantees and Partners as they complete the PAC process. Our partnering agency, the Department of Conservation, will lead the PAC process.

Following execution of the grant agreement, grant funds will be disbursed on a bi-monthly basis for eligible direct, indirect, and indicator tracking costs. All reimbursed costs must meet the requirements for reimbursable tasks outlined in the grant agreement. TCC has also been authorized for an Advance Pay Pilot program (AB 156) and will follow up on the terms for accessing advance pay once approved by Council. Please note that no funds will be reimbursed for costs and expenses incurred prior to grant agreement execution, with the exception of limited PAC costs for staff and materials in accordance with forthcoming guidance.

We look forward to our partnership in the coming years. If you have any questions, please contact Sophie Young, TCC Program Manager, at [email protected].

Sincerely,
Lynn von Koch-Liebert

DISCUSSION:

The City of Richmond’s solid waste and recycling services are provided by two agreements with Republic Services:

1. An exclusive Solid Waste Collection Franchise Agreement (Collection Agreement) managed by the City of Richmond; and

2. An exclusive Post-Collection Solid Waste Franchise Agreement (Post-Collection Agreement) managed by the West Contra Costa Integrated Waste Management Authority (RecycleMore).

The City of Richmond first entered into a collection franchise agreement with Richmond Sanitary Service (dba Republic Services) (“RSS”) in 1985. On July 1, 2025, the City and RSS entered into a new collection agreement (“Collection Agreement”) with RSS after completing a competitive procurement process. The Collection Agreement includes the collection of solid waste, recycling, and organic waste generated within City boundaries.

Beginning on July 8, 2025, through July 19, 2025, RSS incurred service interruptions affecting the collection of solid waste. Republic Services was in contract negotiations with the union representing some of Republic Services’ employees at Forward Landfill in Stockton. Those employees were engaged in a temporary work stoppage and picketing at other Republic Services Bay Area locations. As a result, there were temporary service delays for recycling and waste collection customers in the area.

In recognition of the inconvenience caused by the delay in collection services for most residential, some multi-family and commercial customers in the City in July 2025 and to resolve City claims arising from the work stoppage, RSS offered to provide a one-time credit to residential customers. The credit would be applied on or before the JanuaryDecember 1, 20265, RSS bill to residential customers. The amount of the onetime credits would be for the cost of collection services (Attachment 1, Exhibit A).

DOCUMENTS ATTACHED:

Attachment 1 – Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Settlement of Work Stoppage Claims
206

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
This Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") is entered into between the City of Richmond ("City") and Richmond Sanitary Service, Inc. ("RSS") is in connection with the Teamsters Local 315 organized labor work stoppage ("Work Stoppage") that occurred between July 8, 2025 and July 21, 2025, in order to fully and finally resolve any and all outstanding claims and demands asserted by City as a result of the Work Stoppage.

RECITALS

1. Republic provides collection services for the collection, processing, and disposal of solid waste, recyclable material, and organics to residents, multi-family and commercial customers in the City pursuant to an exclusive Franchise Agreement dated July 1, 2025 ("Agreement").

2. On July 8, 2025, without any prior notice to RSS, a labor sympathy action began involving Teamsters Local 315 which impacted collection and transport operations covered by our Agreement.

3. The Teamster Work Stoppage was not a strike against RSS; rather, this was a sympathy or "solidarity" refusal by Teamster employees to cross a picket line established by other Teamsters union locals orchestrated at RSS's facility.

4. RSS's Teamster employees refused to cross the picket line resulting in the Work Stoppage.

5. In recognition of the inconvenience caused by the delay in collection services for most residential and some multi-family and commercial customers in the City in July 2025, RSS has offered to provide credits to residential customers in the City.

AGREEMENT
NOW THEREFORE, the City and RSS agree as follows:

1. One Time Residential Collection Credit. As a result of good faith negotiations between RSS and City, the Parties have agreed that in order to resolve any and all claims of City arising out of or related to the Work Stoppage, RSS shall provide a one-time credit to residential customers in accordance with Exhibit A attached hereto, per missed pickup event, for missed residential collection events occurring during the Work Stoppage. The credit will be applied on or before the January 1, 2025 RSS invoice to residential customers. The amount of the one-time credits to be applied to residential customer accounts is set forth in the attached Exhibit A, incorporated by reference as though fully set forth herein.

2. General Release. In consideration of RSS providing the residential credit as set forth in paragraph 1. above, City fully releases and forever discharges RSS and its members, officers, directors, employees, parent companies, sister companies, subsidiaries, divisions, agents, attorneys, and assigns, from any actions, causes of action, suits, debts, charges, complaints, claims, liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements, controversies, costs, Memorandum of Understanding

damages, losses, and demands of whatever nature or character, whether known or unknown, actual or contingent, arising from or related to the Work Stoppage.

3. Civil Code Section 1542 Waived. The general release set forth above extends to all claims of every nature and kind whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, and all rights under Civil Code § 1542 are waived. Section 1542 provides:
"Section 1542. General Release. A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him, must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."
City expressly waives its rights under Section 1542 as well as under any other statutes or common law principles of similar effect.

4. No Liability. The City and RSS acknowledge that this MOU represents a settlement and release of all claims related to the Work Stoppage and the above-described credits and agree that the parties' performance under this MOU is not to constitute or be interpreted as an admission of any liability or wrongdoing whatsoever by any party to this MOU.

5. Full and Final Agreement.

4 City of Richmond Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Guidebook Final Draft — June 5, 2025 Introduction
What is an ADU?
What is a JADU?
What is a Statewide
Exemption ADU?
An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a residential
dwelling unit that provides independent living
facilities and is located on a lot with a proposed or
existing primary residence or multi-unit building.

These units are sometimes referred to as “in-law
units” or “granny flats.”
A Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU) is a
residential dwelling unit that is no more than 500
sq. ft. and contained entirely within a single-family
residence, but with its own separate entrance. The
JADU may share a bathroom, but not a kitchen, with
the primary residence to which it is attached.

A Statewide Exemption ADU is an ADU of up to
800 sq. ft., 16 feet in height, as potentially limited by a local agency, and with four-foot side and rear yard
setbacks.
219
Final Draft — June 5, 2025 City of Richmond Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Guidebook 5 Throughout this guidebook, we’ll refer to three different types of ADUs, which each have their own variations and requirements. Those three types are:

Detached ADU
An ADU that is physically separate from
the primary building. The Detached ADU
may be one or two stories.

Attached ADU
An ADU that is physically attached to
the primary building. Although the unit
is attached, it must be accessible via
a dedicated entrance that is separate
from the primary unit. The Attached
ADU may be attached on the first or
second floor.

Junior ADU (JADU)
A residential dwelling unit that is no
more than 500 sq. ft. and is entirely
contained within a single-family
residence, but with its own separate
entrance. The JADU may share a
bathroom, but not a kitchen, with
the primary residence to which it is
attached.

Final Draft — June 5, 2025 City of Richmond Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Guidebook 7 The table on the next page provides a general comparison of ADU types based on select factors. Each ADU project will be unique and may not reflect the values in this table. Consider what factors are most important for your ADU project.

Options
Which ADU type should I choose?
Converting an existing
attached or detached
garage into an ADU can
be a cost-effective way
to add an ADU to your
lot, with less construction
disruption than may be
necessary for other ADU
types. Parking spaces lost
as a result of converting
a garage into an ADU do
not have to be replaced.

For more information,
see Design Resource B,
Garage Conversions,
on pages 26-28 of this
guidebook.

GARAGE

CONVERSION
Cost Trade-offs
Cost factors to consider when selecting
an approach for your project include
the complexity of the design and
architectural drawings, the construction
or upgrade costs whether the ADU
is new construction or a conversion,
and the size of the ADU which impacts
construction costs as well as permitting
fees (ADUs under 750 sq. ft. can waive
impact fees except for school developer
fees).

Primary Dwelling or
Multifamily Unit Trade-offs
ADUs that are contained fully or partially
within the primary dwelling unit will
reduce the overall square footage
available within the primary dwelling
unit. Impact on multifamily dwelling units
is minimal since ADUs cannot be built
within existing habitable area.

Yard Space Trade-offs
Additions to primary dwellings and new
detached dwellings may reduce the
amount of usable outdoor space. For
example, ADUs may affect the amount
of sunlight reaching the yard space or
the amount of garden space available.

Thoughtful placement of an ADU on the
lot can reduce impact.

Parking Trade-offs
Many new ADUs do not require
additional parking. Conversion of
existing enclosed parking spaces such
as a garage or carport may reduce the
amount of parking available if space for
additional parking cannot be located on
the site.

Privacy Trade-offs
Different ADUs might impact sight,
sound, and physical privacy differently.

ADUs that are contained fully or partially
within the primary dwelling, or which
share a wall with the primary dwelling
may be less private in terms of noise and
proximity than fully detached ADUs.

12 City of Richmond Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Guidebook Final Draft — June 5, 2025 Benefits
How can ADUs help the
Richmond community?
Below: A detached ADU. Photo
courtesy City of Pasadena.

The current production of housing in California is not enough to meet people’s needs. The lack of housing is causing average housing costs to rise, forcing people to either find affordable housing further from their workplace, or settle for smaller shared spaces that reduce their quality of life.

Accessory Dwelling Units can help address the need for affordable housing by providing livable units in walkable contexts that can be developed easily, quickly, and affordably. Recent changes to State ADU Law make developing ADUs easier to help address the community's housing needs and deliver the benefits described below:

Housing Choice
■ Adds to variety of available housing options
■ Can provide options for independent living and
aging in place
Neighborhood Context
■ Suitable in a variety of locations and contexts
■ Provides additional housing in a building form that
is compatible with single-family neighborhoods
Livability
■ Can provide greater privacy for multi-generational
households
Financial Benefits
■ Does not require purchase of new land or
development of new infrastructure since units
will fit on most single-family lots (ADU) or within
existing dwellings (JADU)
■ Utilize standard building materials, which may be
sourced from local vendors
■ Option to utilize prefabricated units and/or
modular units
■ Opportunity to earn supplemental income
for homeowners through long-term rental
agreements/programs

3 Step 1: Possibilities and Goals
ADUs are allowed in all of Richmond’s zoning districts
where single-family and multi-family dwellings are
permitted. Use the City’s online interactive zoning
map or speak to a city planner to determine your
zoning district.

Familiarize yourself with the different types of ADUs
(See “What are the different types of ADUs?”)
Brainstorm and write down project goals
• Will the ADU generate income? What are your
financial goals (return on investment)?
• Will the ADU be used for “aging-in-place”?
• What will the accessibility needs be?
• How many people will live in the ADU? Will you live
there or will a tenant?
Determine who you will
need on your project
team, which could
include an architect,
designer, design/build contractor or pre-fabricated
ADU vendor.

Determine your budget (how much can you afford
to spend to build the ADU) and consider how you
are funding the ADU (cash, loans, grants, or other
financial assistance). See “Helpful Resources for
ADUs” for links to resources that can help with
funding, or contact contractors to help estimate
what your ADU would cost. Review Design
Resource E for an example of different cost
scenarios.

4 5
See the “ADU Brainstorming Checklist” to
identify what type of ADU can fit on your lot.

Decide what type of ADU you want to build.

See "Summary of Zoning Standards for ADUs"
to review the development standards for ADUs.

Work with an architect, designer, design/build
contractor or pre-fabricated ADU vendor as
needed to develop and finalize ADU design.

Consult §15.04.610.020 - Accessory Dwelling
Units and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units in the
Richmond Municipal Code and applicable City,
State and Federal building codes.

OR
Use one of the City of Richmond’s free-to-use
pre-approved ADU designs. See page 18 in this
guidebook for more information on the preapproved design, and visit the City’s website to download the plan set.

Develop a cost estimate, working with your
architect, designer, design/build contractor
or prefabricated ADU vendor as needed.

Note that constructing an ADU may
increase your property taxes due to a higher
assessed property value.

Utility bills such as electricity, gas, water,
sewer, and trash may increase as a result of
an ADU.

Step 3: Evaluate Budget
If additional modifications need to be made
to the site to accommodate the ADU, such as
grading and/or construction of retaining walls to
provide flat space for the ADU, you must submit
these plans to the Building Division for review and
approval. This review is subject to Building permit
fees.

Determine whether the existing sewer and/or
water has the capacity to support the ADU. If
you decide to connect your ADU sewer and/or
water directly into public infrastructure, then you
may be subject to impact fees. Fees will vary on a
case-by-case basis.

See the City’s ADU Info Sheet for information
and tools and consult with the city staff
in the Planning, Building, and Engineering
Divisions as needed. Contact information:
• Planning: [email protected]
(510) 620-6706
• Building: [email protected]
(510) 620-6868
• Engineering: [email protected]
(510) 307-8091
Step 2: Design Your ADU
It may be necessary to
refine the ADU design
created in Step 2 based
on available budget.

Secure funding to fund
the development of the
desired ADU(s).

How to Draw
a Site Plan
What is a site plan?
A site plan is a bird’s eye view sketch of your property that shows where your new ADU will be located.

Can I draw my own site plan?
It is strongly recommended you engage an architect,
designer, design/build contractor or prefabricated ADU
vendor to prepare a site plan. It may be appropriate for you to draw your own site plan if your property is flat and does not contain any special features like a creek.

Example Site Plan
Do I need to draw/add a site plan if I use the
Pre-Approved ADU Plan?
Yes. Page 2 of the downloadable permit set has a space
set aside for you to draw or paste your site plan.

Determine ADU buildable area
An ADU cannot be located within a setback and cannot interfere with existing easements unless it is through the conversion of a legal existing structure. (Refer to a recent Title report or reach out to the Engineering Division to determine the approximate locations of any public easements on your property.) Side and rear setbacks are 4 ft, and a detached ADU must be at least 5 feet from the primary structure. To determine buildable area for your ADU, subtract these setbacks from your backyard dimensions.

Determine maximum allowed ADU
footprint
The City’s zoning standards set a maximum square footage (floor area) for each type of ADU. If your buildable area (for an addition or new construction) is bigger than this, then this rule tells you the maximum size of your ADU. If your buildable area is smaller than or equal to this, then you may build on your entire buildable area.

I’m building a JADU: Maximum allowed size is 500 sq ft
I’m building an ADU: See zoning standards on pages 10-11 Choose construction approach and
determine ADU unit type(s)

Final Draft — June 5, 2025 City of Richmond Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Guidebook 23 7 Meet floor plan room layout
requirements
The following room layout requirements and considerations are meant to provide an overview of the required entrance, bathroom and cooking facilities for JADUs and ADUs. Consult §15.04.610.020 - Accessory Dwelling Units and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units in the Richmond Municipal Code and applicable building codes for specific requirements.

All ADU types require a separate entrance from the primary dwelling, a bathroom, and a kitchen.

JADUs may have access to a full bathroom in the primary dwelling in lieu of a private full bath and an efficiency kitchen in lieu of a full kitchen.

Consider solar system
installation
According to the California Department Housing and Community Development’s ADU handbook “newly constructed ADUs are subject to the Energy Code requirement to provide solar panels if the unit(s) is a newly constructed, non-manufactured, detached ADU.” This means unless you are doing a garage conversion, using modular or prefabricated units, or building an addition to the primary dwelling, you will need to provide solar panels.

Identify where you will place the solar panels. They may be installed on the ADU or on the primary dwelling.

Consider the orientation of the ADU and the slope of the roof to best maximize the efficiency of the solar panels.

26 City of Richmond Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Guidebook Final Draft — June 5, 2025 Getting your garage conversion permitted
You are required to obtain a building permit to change the use of your garage to an ADU.

The permitting process follows the same development timeline as listed on pages 14-16 and is contingent on bringing the structure up to building code for the new residential use. No pre-construction inspections are required. Floor plans need to show existing and proposed configuration as well as how the proposed portion will conform to the applicable code requirements. However, you will not have to provide any replacement parking and can build the ADU to the existing footprint regardless of ADU floor area maximums and setbacks.

Bringing your garage up to code
Building codes make sure structures are safe for their intended use. Changing uses from vehicle storage to residence might involve significant changes. See below a table of applicable buildings codes organized by topic and a list of commonly required upgrades to help inform what you will need.

Final Draft — June 5, 2025 City of Richmond Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Guidebook 27 Commonly required upgrades
Foundations and Floor
■ If slab has insufficient concrete strength and thickness, underpin the foundation ■ If insufficient moisture barrier between slab and flooring, add waterproofing membrane to slab
Walls
■ If structural integrity is compromised (especially in earthquake-prone zones), reinforce studs or add wall bracing
■ If wall R-value (the capacity of insulation within the walls to resist heat flow) does not meet energy code, add insulation
Roof
■ If additional loads from new mechanical equipment, lighting and finishes compromise structural integrity, reinforce structure
■ If roof R-value does not meet energy code, add insulation and make sure to ventilate attic space if not conditioned
Openings
■ If any planned bedrooms do not have direct access to the exterior, add a window with a minimum clear opening of 5.7 sq. ft. to meet egress code requirements ■ If habitable spaces are not meeting lighting and ventilation requirements, add openings as needed with consideration of privacy and sun orientation HVAC
■ JADUs are not considered separate dwellings and are exempt from HVAC requirements.
■ If structure lacks heating and cooling, add HVAC system (many use a minisplit system separate from primary residence)
242
28 City of Richmond Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Guidebook Final Draft — June 5, 2025 Utilities
■ JADUs are not considered separate dwellings and are exempt from separate utility requirements.
■ ADU conversions are exempt from separate utility connection requirements however depending on increased loads, you might consider upgrading water, sewer and electrical lines to a service with greater capacity
Fire Safety
■ JADUs are not considered separate dwellings and are exempt from fire separation requirements.
■ If structure is not compliant with minimum fire setbacks from property line and primary residence (5 feet, IRC 2024), add fire rated walls. ■ Fire sprinklers are not required if the primary dwelling does not have sprinklers; smoke alarms are required in each bedroom
243
Final Draft — June 5, 2025 City of Richmond Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Guidebook 29 Can I have ADUs on a multifamily lot?
Yes! State law SB897 allows both attached ADUs and detached ADUs to be built on multifamily lots.

How many?
■ If you have a duplex, triplex, or fourplex you can build one attached ADU and up to two detached ADUs.
■ If you have a multifamily unit with 5 or more units you may build multiple attached ADUs (up to 25% of the number of dwelling units onsite, but at least 1) or two detached ADUs (which can be attached to each other).

Where?
■ Detached ADUs can be built in available rear yard so long as they have 4 feet of setbacks from property lines and 5 feet from primary structure, and meet height requirements. ■ An attached ADU can be an addition or conversion but it cannot be built in any space assigned to existing residential dwelling units in the multifamily structure. This means impact on multifamily dwelling units is minimal since ADUs cannot be built within existing habitable area. Spaces typically converted to ADUs are underutilized storage or garages within the multifamily structure.

Are there any multifamily specific
standards?
Yes, here are some things to keep in mind:
■ ADUs added to you property do not count towards your lot’s density total, so long as they follow ADU standards.
■ A multistory, multifamily dwelling is allowed a height increase to 18 feet for detached ADUs. ■ If adding an attached ADU to a multifamily structure that has setbacks less than 4 feet, you are not required to update the building to meet code.
■ Adding an ADU to your multifamily lot cannot trigger a requirement for fire sprinklers to be installed in existing multifamily dwelling.

Standards listed previously in this document and in Richmond Municipal Code that are not affected by items mentioned in this section also apply to developing ADUs on multifamily lots.

30 City of Richmond Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Guidebook Final Draft — June 5, 2025 Why legalize your unpermitted ADU?
Health and safety: Unpermitted structures are often not built to safety standards in the building code which puts both the ADU and primary dwelling residents at higher risk of fire, collapse, poor living conditions, etc. Not having record or legal address for unpermitted ADUs also makes them harder to locate for emergency services.

Higher property value: An unpermitted ADU may diminish the value of a property.

Insurance coverage: Insurance companies may deny a claim when an unpermitted ADU is damaged from fire, floods or earthquakes.

Tenant legal action: Legalizing an ADU reduces legal and financial risk and allows for an aboveboard process to lease and earn income from your ADU.

Process to legalize
Step 1: Pre-Application (8 weeks)
■ Learn about the local process. Explore Richmond’s ADU resources. ■ Determine feasibility. Does the accessory structure meet the minimum features to be considered a safe, legal unit? See zoning and program requirements on pages 10-11.
■ Evaluate the project. Get professional advice from a contractor, private building inspector or architect to get a sense of what might be required to legalize the unit.

This would include them creating as-built plans for the unit including Title 24 (energy code) and structural calculations.

Decision time: Apply for permit? If moving forward with the application know that there is a chance you may not be able to permit your ADU and will have to stop using it as living space.

Design Resource D
Legalizing Unpermitted ADUs
1 245
Final Draft — June 5, 2025 City of Richmond Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Guidebook 31 2 3
Step 2: Permit Review (6+ weeks)
■ Submit permit application. Include the as-built plans and proposed plan plus any other documents required as part of the permitting process described in page 16. ■ Review. Expect 3-5 rounds of staff comments and feedback review before the decision to issue a building permit.
■ Cost estimate. At this stage, you will have a more accurate cost estimate of the changes required to decide whether it is feasible to move forward with the project.

Decision Time: Proceed with project? Here are your options:
■ Proceed with work to get permit, pay any applicable fees and connection charges. ■ Negotiate list of modifications required to lower costs. ■ If the unit cannot be remediated, demolish or shut down as residential use. ■ If the unit can be legalized but it is not within your budget, you may request to delay code enforcement for up to five years as long as the noncompliance of the unit is not a health and safety issue.

Step 3: Construction (1-12+ months)
■ Start construction. If you move forward with the project and acquire a building permit, you may start the construction process. If there are any tenants in the unit, they will have to find other accommodations during this time. ■ Ongoing inspections. Expect inspectors to visit the construction site to ensure it is complying with the approved permit.
■ Utilities. Local jurisdiction will approve connections for utilities on behalf of the companies.

Step 4: Final Inspection: Ready for Occupancy
■ Move in. After the inspector has ensured all requirements have been met, they will issue a Certificate of Occupancy for the ADU.

32 City of Richmond Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Guidebook Final Draft — June 5, 2025 How much will it cost to build an ADU on
my property?
There are multiple factors that may impact the cost of adding an ADU to your property. Your design team will help you get the closest estimate for your individual circumstances. However, the City of Richmond has provided the following cost scenarios in this guidebook as an example of what costs may come up in the process. The City is also working on a customizable cost calculator to help you estimate costs. This tool will be really helpful at the beginning stages of a project to help prepare for potential costs but should not be used as a final quote.

Methodology
The following scenarios were created using cost estimates from ADU companies practicing in southern California and the Bay Area and fee estimates provided by individual departments in the City of Richmond. Appendix B of the guidebook has an example plan check and permit fee estimate for each scenario to provide a better understanding of how the City fees breakdown.

These scenarios are meant to give a general idea of the cost factors involved in adding an ADU to your property in a Richmond context, but they are not representative of every exact situation and can fluctuate based on the lot conditions, ADU type and size, and market costs.

38 City of Richmond Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Guidebook Final Draft — June 5, 2025 FAQ
ADU Frequently Asked
Questions

1. What is an Accessory Dwelling Unit
(ADU) and Junior Accessory Dwelling
Unit (JADU)?
An “Accessory Dwelling Unit” (“ADU”) is an attached or
detached residential dwelling that provides complete
independent living facilities, including permanent
provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking and
sanitation, and is located on a lot with a proposed or
existing primary residence. These units are sometimes
referred to as “in-law units” or “granny flats.”
A “Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit” (“JADU”) is a unit no larger than 500 square feet and contained entirely within a single-family residence. A JADU includes an efficiency kitchen, sleeping facilities, and may include its own
bathroom or it may share a bathroom within the existing structure.

2. What is the permit process like?
ADU and JADU applications do not require a public
hearing and are reviewed through the City’s building
permit application process. See pages 14-16 for a stepby-step guide.

3. How many ADUs and JADUs are
allowed?
For existing lots with a single-family residence only one JADU or one detached unit (ADU) is allowed unless the
detached ADU is a statewide exemption ADU, then one
JADU and one detached ADU are allowed. For existing
lots with multi-family dwellings, attached ADUs may be
added up to a 25% increase in units (but at least one), and no more than two detached ADUs may be added.

4. What are the setbacks and height
limitations?
Minimum side and rear setbacks for detached ADUs are
four feet (this setback is different than the fire separation distances of the building code), with a general building height of up to 16-feet (certain criteria allow an increase up to 25-feet). All other setback requirements defined by the base zoning district are still applicable.

5. Is parking required?
No parking (including replacement parking) is required
for attached ADUs, JADUs and garage conversions. No
parking (including replacement parking) is required for ADUs located within a half-mile walking distance of public transit (including bus stops, BART stations, or carshare stations). Otherwise, one parking space is required.

6. How do I legalize an existing
unpermitted unit?
The City has created a resource to help you with
this process. See Design Resource C, “Legalizing
Unpermitted ADUs,” on pages 30-31 of this guidebook.

7. Can I convert my garage into an
ADU?
The City has created a resource to help you with this
process. See Design Resource B, “Garage Conversions”
on pages 26-28 of this guidebook.

8. Can I rent my JADU or ADU?
Yes, however, you must comply with the tenancy
restriction set forth in Section 15.04.610.020 of the
Richmond Municipal Code which states no ADU shall be
rented for a term of 30 days or less.

9. What is the process to issue a new
address for an ADU?
The City will issue a new address during the permitting process. Any ADU or JADU attached to the main dwelling
253
Final Draft — June 5, 2025 City of Richmond Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Guidebook 39 shall be assigned the parent address and Unit 2. For
example, an attached ADU or JADU at 123 Main Street
will now be assigned 123 Main Street Unit 2. Any ADU
detached from the main dwelling shall be assigned the
parent address and Unit A. For example, a detached ADU
at 123 Main Street will now be assigned 123 Main Street Unit A.

10. What is the Section 8 Housing
Choice Voucher Program?
The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program is
designed to make market-rate housing affordable for lowincome families, the elderly, and people with disabilities.

The Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa
(HACCC), the administrating body for the program
in Richmond, pays a housing subsidy directly to the
landlord on behalf of the participating tenants. Landlord benefits from this program include guaranteed HACCC’s
portion of rent payments, free advertising of units to
families in the program, choosing your own tenants, free inspections, and flexible lease terms. If you are looking to lease your ADU, this is a great way to guarantee tenant payment and increase the pool of affordable housing.

Learn more at Becoming a Section 8 Housing Choice
Voucher Program Landlord

11. Can I perform construction work for
an ADU on my property?
Yes. Please confirm with the Building Division as to
whether there are any limitations for your project/lot.

12. If I rent out an ADU on my property,
may I use part of the ADU for my own
storage?
You may not use part of the rental unit as storage unless the storage has exterior access separate from the
tenant’s unit access. JADUs and ADUs are required to
have a dedicated entrance. Your storage access cannot
be through the ADU unit entrance.

13. How do fire separation standards
apply to ADUs?
ADUs located less than 10’ from primary dwelling unit
require fire-rated construction, which may add costs. Fire separation must be noted on site plan and construction
drawings. JADUs do not require fire separation.

14. Are solar panels required for newly
constructed ADUs?
Yes, according to the California Department of Housing
and Community Development’s ADU handbook “newly
constructed ADUs are subject to the Energy Code
requirement to provide solar panels if the unit(s) is a newly constructed, non-manufactured, detached ADU.”
This means if you are doing a garage conversion, using
modular or prefabricated units, or building an addition to the primary dwelling, you do not need to provide solar panels. To meet the requirement, solar panels may be
installed on the ADU or on the primary dwelling.

15. Am I required to provide separate
utilities for my ADU?
Each building must be equipped with utilities as per
the California plumbing and electrical codes. Separate
utilities for an ADU will be determined based on capacity and specific circumstances directly with your local utility provider.

16. How do I apply for a Building Permit
for a JADU or ADU?
You may apply for a building permit online using the
City’s IMS portal. If you have questions on how to use
the City’s eTrakit, please call (510) 620-6868 during

DISCUSSION:

Port Infrastructure Development Program (PIDP) Grant
The U.S. Department of Transportation Maritime Administration (MARAD) is the federal agency responsible for supporting the nation’s ports and maritime transportation system. MARAD’s Port Infrastructure Development Program (PIDP) provides competitive federal funding for port projects that improve safety, efficiency, resilience, and environmental performance.

For Fiscal Year (FY) 2025, MARAD released the PIDP Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) (Funding Opportunity Number: MA-PID-25-001) to solicit applications for port and intermodal projects that enhance goods movement and strengthen supply chains.

Under this NOFO, projects selected for funding must have grant agreements executed by September 30, 2029, and funds expended within five years of obligation, but no later than September 30, 2034, depending on the date of award.

Port Grant Application and Momentum’s Role
In response to this opportunity, the Port of Richmond, with the assistance of Momentum, prepared and submitted a grant application for the Dock Restoration for 269

Page 3 of 4 ends

December 2, 2025
Improved Vehicle Entry (DRIVE) Project by the extended federal deadline of September 10, 2025 (Attachment 1).

Momentum was retained under Resolution No. 106-24, which established on-call grant services contracts for City departments. Under its FY 2024–25 on-call contract, Momentum supported the Port in developing the PIDP grant application, including project narrative, benefit-cost analysis, and supporting materials (Attachment 2).

The Port subsequently entered into a second on-call contract with Momentum for FY 2025–26, with a not-to-exceed amount of $100,000, including an initial allowance of $50,000 and an additional $50,000 subject to Port Director approval. If the PIDP grant is awarded, the proposed first amendment will add $140,000 to this second contract for post-award grant administration, compliance tracking, and coordination with MARAD, bringing the total not-to-exceed amount to $240,000.

The DRIVE Project
The Dock Restoration for Improved Vehicle Entry (DRIVE) Project at the Port of Richmond will restore and modernize Berth 7 at the Point Potrero Marine Terminal (PPMT), the Port’s primary Roll-On/Roll-Off (RoRo) wharf currently operated by Auto Warehousing Company (AWC). The Port applied for $11,224,449 in federal funding through the FY 2025 Port Infrastructure Development Program (PIDP) to support a total project cost of $14,030,561, with a 20 percent local match provided through the Port’s Capital Improvement Program
The project entails structural rehabilitation and modernization to address critical deficiencies that currently limit Berth 7’s load-bearing capacity and operational efficiency. Improvements include:
 Repair and replacement of deteriorated piles, beams, and deck sections to restore full structural integrity;
 Reinforcement of the wharf apron and tie-beams to enhance seismic resilience and long-term durability;
 Deck resurfacing, lighting, and utility upgrades to improve safety and accommodate heavier RoRo cargo; and
 Preparatory work for future installation of shore-power infrastructure and cleanenergy systems.

Following completion, Berth 7’s load-bearing capacity will increase from as low as 50 pounds per square foot(PSF) to 200 PSF on the inner wharf and 390 PSF on the outer wharf—bringing the facility in line with modern automobile-handling standards. The project will increase RoRo throughput by approximately 28,000 vehicles per year (a 35 percent increase), reduce vessel dwell times by 10 percent, and remove bottlenecks that currently restrict the use of the Port’s national freight rail and regional highway connections.

These improvements will:
270

Page 4 of 4 ends

December 2, 2025
 Enhance safety by eliminating risk of local collapse and providing stable working surfaces for cargo-handling personnel and equipment;
 Improve reliability by reducing unplanned maintenance and extending the wharf’s operational life;
 Boost economic vitality by supporting additional cargo volumes, sustaining unionized longshore and logistics jobs, and improving the Port’s competitiveness; and
 Increase resilience against seismic and climate-related hazards by incorporating modern design standards.

Together, the DRIVE Project will ensure continued use of the Port of Richmond as a key multimodal freight node in Northern California, strengthen the City’s economic base, and preserve the public’s investment in critical maritime infrastructure.

Next Steps
If MARAD awards the grant, the Port and City will:
 Accept and appropriate the PIDP grant funds into the Port Enterprise Fund budget (Attachment 3);
 Appropriate the required Port Enterprise Fund match of $2,806,112; and  Execute a contract amendment with Momentum for grant administration and management services (Attachment 4).

These actions will enable the Port to move forward promptly with grant execution and ensure compliance with MARAD’s reporting, procurement, and performance requirements.

SYNERGISTIC POLICIES:

The proposed action supports the City of Richmond General Plan 2030, which identifies the Port as a critical economic engine and emphasizes investment in maritime infrastructure to promote job creation and goods movement.

It also aligns with the City’s Climate Action Plan by improving freight-handling efficiency, reducing vessel and truck dwell times, and supporting resilient, low-emission transportation infrastructure.

Project Narrative
I Project Description
I.A Statement of Work
The Port of Richmond (the Port) is a critical node in the San Francisco Bay Area’s maritime logistics chain. It handles over 80,000 imported vehicles annually from Japan and Korea and more than 66,500 tons of goods from Southeast Asia, generating over $2.8 billion in sales to U.S. markets. The Port also provides berthing services for tugs, tenders, and emergency response vessels, serving as an emergency coordination hub. The U.S. Coast Guard Southwest District that includes California identifies the Port of Richmond as one of six major (Tier one) ports that require a heightened level of protection, alongside San Diego, Los Angeles, Long Beach, San Francisco, and Oakland.

The Port proposes the comprehensive structural remediation and modernization of Berth 7 at the Point Potrero Marine Terminal (PPMT). Berth 7 is a critical Roll-On/Roll-Off (RoRo) wharf currently operated by the Auto Warehousing Company (AWC), the Berth’s principal tenant and user. This project will address significant structural degradation, safety hazards, and operational inefficiencies by restoring and enhancing the Berth’s load-bearing capacity, which has been bottlenecking the facility’s cargo-handling capabilities. The improvements planned as part of the Dock Restoration for Improved Vehicle Entry Project (DRIVE or the “Project”) will position the Port to continue serving as a critical node in the transportation of vehicles while improving the goods movement capacity to support the movement of more diverse cargo. Doing so will strengthen the regional economy and provide resilience to seaside infrastructure.

The Project entails structural rehabilitation of Berth 7 to restore its operational capacity, ensure long-term resiliency, and enable continued investment into goods movement at the Port. To date, Port finalized concept-level engineering plans, completed preliminary design alternatives, and engaged with key tenants and stakeholders to define operational needs and sequencing. The Port plans to begin an environmental review consistent with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) this fall, with completion next spring. Following the completion of the engineering design, the Port will begin engagement with federal and state agencies to secure construction permits by fall 2026. The Project consists of one component, Berth 7 Wharf Remediation, which includes several improvements:
• Repair of Critical Structural Beam: Immediate repair of a fractured structural beam located beneath the wharf deck that currently limits cargo operations and poses safety risks. • Pile Repair and Replacement: Reinforcement and replacement of deteriorated support piles to restore the wharf’s structural integrity.
• Deck and Surface Restoration: Removal and replacement of degraded pavement and deck materials to provide a safer, more efficient work surface for RoRo operations. • Structural Interface Enhancements: Strengthening the connection between the wharf deck and adjacent shoreside apron to improve overall load distribution and durability.

Together, these improvements will allow Berth 7 to handle heavier and more diverse cargo.

Portions of the Berth are currently limited to as little as 50 pounds per square foot (PSF), a far cry short of the 200 PSF recommended for automobile loading and unloading. This lack of capacity 275
FY 2025 PIDP Narrative Outline
Page | 2
has led the Port to implement tight vehicle movement restrictions to ensure that load ratings are not exceeded. Despite these restrictions, risks to worker and equipment safety are elevated while the Berth’s cargo handling capacity is reduced. After the improvement, the berth loading limits will be increased to 200 PSF for the inner wharf and 390 PSF for the outer wharf. The significant loading capacity increase proposed by DRIVE will not only enhance berth safety and resilience, but the added capacity will allow the loading and unloading of heavier automotive equipment, e.g., agricultural equipment, commercial vehicles, and construction machinery. The improvement will also serve as a foundation for future infrastructure investments, such as the future installation of shore power systems, the development of a workforce development hub, and the remediation of adjacent Berths.

Failure to address current deficiencies at Berth 7 would result in continued infrastructure degradation, expanded non-operational zones, and growing operational bottlenecks. This would significantly impact goods movement efficiency, reduce labor hours, and restrict the Port’s ability to accommodate larger or additional cargo volumes.

The goals of DRIVE are:
• Increase efficiency of RoRo operations, resulting in a capacity increase of 28,000 automobiles per year, a 35% increase (from 80,000).
• Increase the efficiency of neighboring infrastructure by alleviating the bottleneck that limits the utilization of national freight rail and regional highway corridors. Increasing the automotive throughput to 108,000 units per year represents a 12.5% increase in railway capacity utilization, up to 86.4% of the existing capacity of 125,000 units per year. • Increasing the efficiency of vessels offloading at Berth 7 by providing additional space for vehicles along the Berth. This enables automobiles to be temporarily staged along the Berth before being moved into the storage yard after vessel unloading is finished. The temporary staging will lead to a vessel dwell time reduction of 10%. • Increase the reliability of goods movements by removing the tight vehicle movement restrictions needed to ensure that load ratings are not exceeded. The limited area and load rating available along the Berth cause a slowing of operations to maintain safety, leading to unexpected delays in loading and unloading.
• Increase the Safety of Berth 7 by addressing critical deterioration along the apron that risks local or general collapse should load restrictions be surpassed. These improvements will improve the load rating from as low as 7.5 PSF to 200 PSF and above, removing the risk that loading is accidentally exceeded by equipment moving over vulnerable portions of the infrastructure.
• Increase reliability of Berth 7 by stabilizing the seismic tie beam support, reducing the risk that natural hazards lead to partial or complete collapse of the infrastructure. • Create workforce opportunities by creating two four-month paid internship positions, expanding the workforce to support the added throughput, and creating near-term construction jobs.

I.B Transportation Challenges
The Port of Richmond is a critical multimodal freight hub on the eastern shore of the San Francisco Bay, serving as one of the region’s few RoRo terminals. However, aging infrastructure across the PPMT terminal has constrained the Port’s ability to meet growing freight demand and to adapt to 276
FY 2025 PIDP Narrative Outline
Page | 3
evolving safety, environmental, and operational standards. Without substantial capital reinvestment, the Port’s ability to fulfill its role in the Bay Area and national freight network is increasingly at risk.

Throughout PPMT, key structural systems—many dating back to World War II—are deteriorating under the weight of deferred maintenance, increasing load demands, and exposure to natural and manmade hazards. The concrete wharf decks are cracked and uneven. The pile-supported structures, many of which no longer meet modern seismic standards, show signs of significant section loss and corrosion. Ultimately, this collection of infrastructure vulnerabilities limits the Port’s ability to continue serving its critical role in the supply chain while limiting its long-term competitiveness and resiliency.

These port-wide challenges are most acutely concentrated at Berth 7, the primary RoRo berth and one of the Port’s most critical assets. Once a fully functional berth serving AWC’s vehicle import operations, Berth 7 is now operating at a significantly diminished capacity due to urgent structural failures. In 2024, a key longitudinal girder beneath the wharf was found to be fractured, resulting in the immediate closure of a large section of the Berth for safety reasons. Inspections revealed that multiple piles and pile caps supporting the wharf exhibit severe corrosion and, in some cases, complete section loss, particularly at splash zone elevations. The cracked beam and surrounding piles are presented in Figure 1. Conceptual replacements piles are overlayed on the image in red.

Further inspections above deck found that the deck suffers from delamination, exposed and rusting rebar, and substantial surface degradation.

Figure 1 Damaged Piles and Beam under Berth 7 including the proposed repair.

These structural deficiencies are not isolated or cosmetic. They translate directly into constrained cargo operations, safety hazards, and unreliable multimodal logistics. Cargo-handling equipment cannot operate over degraded sections, forcing inefficient workarounds that reduce throughput.

These limits are depicted along Berth 7 in Figure 2. The red area depicts loading zones where the load rating is so low that no operational loads are allowed. The orange identifies areas rated at 50 PSF, while the yellow area depicts areas with load ratings of 230 PSF. The yellow color is used for this area as the load rating along the wharf’s edge needs to be as high as 390 PSF to support future loading. Finally, blue is used to identify the area that currently meets the design requirements of 200 PSF along the inner wharf and 390 PSF at the wharf’s edge. As is made evident by the image, 277
FY 2025 PIDP Narrative Outline
Page | 4
a large portion of Berth 7’s wharf has load ratings at or below 50 PSF, with even the strong portions along the wharf's edge falling below their load rating needed for high and heavy equipment. The narrow lanes and areas with existing capacity are too small for efficient operations and require precise ship alignment. By increasing capacity across the wharf, DRIVE provides the opportunity to stage vehicles, increasing the speed at which vessels can be unloaded. In its current state, Berth 7 is not only a bottleneck to cargo movement but also a source of rising risk to workers, operators, and the marine environment.

Figure 2 Berth 7 Wharf Loading Limits
The Port faces a critical window for intervention. If left unaddressed, the condition at Berth 7 will continue to deteriorate, jeopardizing operations across the entire structure. Fortunately, the proposed Project is designed to directly address these transportation challenges through a strategic set of structural upgrades, safety improvements, and future-ready enhancements.

I.C Project History
The Port of Richmond has long stood at the intersection of industrial innovation, national defense, and evolving transportation needs. Though modest in size, the Port has played an outsized role in the nation’s maritime history and continues to adapt in service of economic competitiveness and regional mobility. From its early foundations, Richmond’s waterfront emerged as a nexus of industrial opportunity due to its unique convergence of deepwater access, rail connectivity, and regional energy resources. The Port of Richmond’s transition into servicing goods movements occurred following World War II.
278
FY 2025 PIDP Narrative Outline
Page | 5
During World War II, the Port and its shipyards became a centerpiece of the U.S. Emergency Shipbuilding Program, with more than 747 ships being produced in record time. After the war, Richmond repurposed its federal shipyard infrastructure to support commercial maritime activity.

This redeveloped the national defense infrastructure into the first portions of the now PPMT in order to facilitate peacetime goods movement. After this period, the Port continued to grow its position in the goods movement space with PPMT developments aimed at servicing bulk and breakbulk cargo, using adapted wharves and legacy shipyard infrastructure. In turn, this cargo shifted into automotive vehicles, handling brands like KIA and Hyundai. However, infrastructure investments were limited and led to declining volumes.

A turning point came with the Honda Port of Entry Project, which transformed the underutilized Shipyard 3 into a modern RoRo terminal. This project secured over $20 million in federal and state grants and was bolstered by $37.9 million in local bonds. Improvements included wharf rehabilitation, yard expansion, lighting and stormwater system upgrades, pavement upgrades, building rehabilitation, and an extension of the rail lead including a loading yard allowing direct ship-to-rail integration. AWC became the anchor tenant, establishing long-term operations and attracting high-volume cargo from major manufacturers like Honda and Subaru. This publicprivate partnership revitalized the Port, expanded job opportunities, demonstrated the City’s ability to deliver large-scale capital projects, and it serves as a foundation for the upgrades proposed as part of DRIVE.

Today, Berth 7 represents the next essential phase of the Port’s modernization journey. As a key RoRo wharf currently operating at reduced capacity due to severe structural load limitations. Berth 7 deterioration threatens to undo hard-won gains in efficiency and throughput. To date, the Port has completed several critical early actions to prepare for the Project. In 2024, structural engineers identified a fractured longitudinal girder beneath Berth 7, triggering immediate closure of a portion of the wharf for safety reasons. This led to a comprehensive structural condition assessment, completed in July 2025, which confirmed widespread deterioration of piles, caps, and deck elements. The Port has since finalized concept-level engineering plans, completed preliminary design alternatives, and engaged with key tenants and stakeholders, including AWC, to define operational needs and sequencing.

Among the concept-level engineering plans developed for the various berths at PPMT was the Berth 7 Rehabilitation Preliminary Plan. This plan outlined the area targeted for improvement through the DRIVE Project. The area targeted in the preliminary plan is depicted in Figure 3, while the remaining details are available for reference in Appendix B. The plan outlines a focused repair strategy to restore structural integrity, improve berth safety, and support continued RoRo operations. Key elements include the installation of 22 new piles, repair of 51 damaged concrete piles and 30 timber piles, replacement of failed tie beams, and the construction of multiple new sheet pile walls totaling more than 260 linear feet. These actions will address the most critical loadbearing and safety deficiencies, creating a stable 200 PSF-rated foundation for modern cargo handling. In fact, the Port anticipates that making the improvements will achieve a live load capacity of no less than 200 PSF to as high as 600 PSF. The final live load capacity will be determined once the engineering design is complete, but is referred to as 200 PSF throughout the narrative for simplicity. Nevertheless, 3,800 square feet of wharf at Berth 7 will be improved above 200 PSF, greatly improving throughput and operation for the Port of Richmond. 279
FY 2025 PIDP Narrative Outline
Page | 6
The southern portion of the wharf will see more modest improvements, as the area is not needed for high and heavy goods movements. The improvement in that portion of the wharf will see existing capacities along the inner wharf of 50 PSF or less improved to at least 100 PSF. The outer wharf in that section will improve from 100 PSF to above 200 PSF. These more minor improvements will provide resiliency benefits and improve RoRo staging for smaller vehicles.

I.H Facility Security Plan
This Project does not include the development of digital infrastructure or software components.

Further, the Project is a Small Project located at a Small Port, removing the requirement to include Facility Security Planning as required scope. Despite this, the project will be governed by the existing Facility Security Plan, which is compliant with US Coast Guard requirements for cargo handling facilities, as evidenced by the AWC letter of commitment in Appendix A. As such, the Port will make every effort to consider and address the physical and cyber security risks that are relevant to the Port, vessels, trucks, and other vehicles impacted by the Project.

II Project Location
II.A Location Description
The Port is strategically located on the eastern shore of the San Francisco Bay in Richmond, California, approximately eight miles northeast of San Francisco. As one of the major deep-water ports in Northern California, the Port occupies a prime location with direct access to major domestic and international shipping lanes.

Positioned within Contra Costa County, the Port benefits from seamless multimodal connectivity.

It is immediately adjacent to Interstate 580, a major freight corridor that links to Interstate 80 and the broader Northern California highway system, facilitating efficient truck access to the Central Valley, the state’s major agricultural
and distribution hubs, and beyond.

The Port is also served by two Class
I freight railroads, BNSF Railway
and Union Pacific Railroad, which
provide on-dock and near-dock rail
service. This is provided through a
series of active spurs and intermodal
connections created as part of the
Honda Port of Entry Project. The
Port’s access to intermodal transport
enables flexible, cost-effective, and
lower-emission transportation
options for importers, exporters, and
logistics providers. This
connectivity is depicted in Figure 4.

The City of Richmond’s waterfront
spans more than 32 miles of
shoreline, with the geographic Port
encompassing a mix of public and
private terminals. The Municipal
facilities are limited to the PPMT,
Terminals 2, 3, and 4, with PPMT
Berth 7 being the proposed Project
location, as outlined by a green

highlight in Figure 5. The figure also identifies the existing rail yard that provides intermodal connectivity to the facility.

Figure 5 Project Location within the Port of Richmond
The surrounding land use reflects Richmond’s unique industrial legacy, with a blend of residential neighborhoods, active industrial zones, and emerging mixed-use districts. The Port and City have advanced policies that prioritize sustainable economic development, environmental restoration, and inclusive community engagement. These efforts align with statewide mandates for zeroemission freight infrastructure and are guiding the Port’s transition toward cleaner, more resilient maritime and goods movement operations.

II.B Location Information
The Port of Richmond, and thus the entirety of the Project, is located in Contra Costa County, California. As of the 2020 U.S. Census, Contra Costa County has a population of over 1.1 million, which designates the entirety of the project area as urban according to the PIDP’s definition. The project is located at a coastal seaport and is classified as a small port. Furthermore, the PIDP funding request is $11.25 million, classifying the Project as a “Small Project at a Small Port”.

As outlined in the Port’s July 3, 2025, letter to MARAD, the geographic Port of Richmond includes nine privately owned terminals, but the municipally owned facilities are limited to the PPMT and Terminals 2, 3, and 4. These terminals are the only port facilities owned or operated by the City.

The terminals primarily handle roll-on/roll-off cargo through Auto Warehousing Company and limited liquid bulk through AAK USA Richmond Corp, along with other temporary marine uses.

The Port operates under an Enterprise Fund, reports to City management, and is governed by the 282
FY 2025 PIDP Narrative Outline
Page | 9
City Council, which has no oversight over the privately owned terminals. PIDP funding would be used exclusively for projects on public port property.

Although U.S. Army Corps of Engineers data ranks the geographic Port of Richmond as the 28th largest U.S. port with 23.5 million tons annually, the municipal Port handled just 224,769 tons in 2024. This disparity highlights the City-operated Port’s smaller operational scale and funding needs, aligning more closely with the Small Port definition. Small Port classification would enable Richmond to pursue vital investments to modernize aging infrastructure, improve operational efficiency, and support long-term sustainability for its public terminals, consistent with the intent of PIDP’s Small Port provisions.

The submitted letter and MARAD’s PIDP team approval of our small port status is included as in Appendix C of this application. To clarify the PIDP team’s request, this application is specifically for the Berth 7 at the PPMT facility. In 2024, the tenant at PPMT, Auto Warehousing Company (AWC), handled 147,726 US Tons of cargo (i.e. imported automobiles).

III Grant Funds, Sources, and Use of Funds
III.A Project Budget and Sources of Funds
The Project budget reflects a comprehensive and phased approach to executing the Project. The total project scope is encompassed by one component: Berth 7 Wharf Remediation. This component includes interdependent activities and infrastructure that are collectively critical to the successful implementation and operation of the upgraded berth. The total Project cost is $14,030,561, 20% of which is committed as a non-federal match by the Port of Richmond. The Port requests that PIDP FY2025 fund the remaining 80% of the cost. No other Federal funds apply to the Project. The Project funding breakdown is summarized in Table 1.

Table 1 Project Funding
Sources of Funds Berth 7 Wharf Remediation Total
PIDP Funds $11,224,449 (80%) $11,224,449 (80%)
Other Federal Funds - -
Non-Federal Funds (Match) $2,806,112 (20%) $2,806,112 (20%) Total PIDP and Match $14,030,561 $14,030,561
The activities for the component will occur entirely within the Port’s boundary. The scope of work is directly related to the remediation of Berth 7, which confers numerous benefits (safety, reliability, and efficiency) associated with eligible criteria I, II, and III. Those are I) improving the loading and unloading of goods at the port, II) improving the movement of goods into, out of, around, or within a port, and III) improving operational improvements, including projects to improve port resilience.

The cost of the project is reflective of a preliminary design at 10% completion. The budget was informed by a cost analysis developed by Power Engineering Company and validated by the Port of Richmond’s contract engineer; this includes a contingency of 20%. Notably the 20% contingency is a committed reserve of funds should the Project encounter cost overruns, but it is 283
FY 2025 PIDP Narrative Outline

IV Merit Criteria
IV.A Achieving Safety, Efficiency, or Reliability Improvements The Project will deliver essential safety, efficiency, and reliability improvements at the PPMT, where degraded infrastructure currently threatens personnel, equipment, and cargo operations.

This project directly addresses structural vulnerabilities and operational bottlenecks that constrain RoRo activity and elevate risks across vessel, wharf, and terminal systems.

Safety Benefits
The Project directly addresses structural and operational safety hazards that currently pose risks to Port workers, vessel crews, and cargo-handling personnel. A fractured girder beneath the deck and deteriorated piles have created unsafe conditions, prompting partial berth closures and restriction of cargo operations. Rehabilitating these core structural elements will eliminate the risk of localized collapse, reduce exposure to life-threatening failure events during vessel mooring or vehicle handling, and restore safe working conditions across the wharf deck.

Table 2 Safety Benefits
Benefit Impact Description
Safer Equipment
Operations
Enhanced load-bearing capacity supports cargo-handling
equipment without the need to restrict operations due to instability and overloading risks. Ultimately, over 3,800 square feet of wharf will be improved from 50 PSF (or less) to above 200 PSF.

Safer Surfaces
Repaired surface conditions eliminate uneven pavement, reduce trip hazards, and improve visibility through upgraded line markings and lighting. This lowers risk of collisions, property damage, and injury.

Efficiency Benefits
By restoring full operational capacity to Berth 7, the Project will significantly improve the efficiency of RoRo cargo handling at the Port. At present, degraded wharf infrastructure and the closure of portions of the berth have created bottlenecks that delay vessel offloading, extend dwell time, and disrupt onward rail and truck movements.

Table 3 Efficiency Benefits
Benefit Impact Description
Higher Throughput
Increase RoRo throughput by reactivating currently unusable wharf areas, enabling more vehicles to be processed per vessel call. This results in a 35% increase in goods movement capacity.

Lower Dwell
Time Ber
Enable temporary staging along Berth 7, which reduces unloading times. This reduces vessel dwell times by 10%, minimizes costly idle periods, and improves overall berth availability. The ability to park temporarily along Berth 7 will also benefit the unloading of vessels at the neighboring Berth 8 by extending the area available for parking near the vessel unloading ramps.
285
FY 2025 PIDP Narrative Outline
Page | 12
Improved Vehicle
Movements
Streamline cargo staging and transfer through better deck surfaces, clear lane markings, and improved wharf-to-yard transitions.

Capacity for Shore
Power Equipment
Enable the future shore power project by enabling the associating equipment to be stationed along Berth 7, such that it can service vessels during unloading.

Reliability Benefits
The Project strengthens the long-term operational reliability of one of the Port’s most critical marine assets. Current structural deficiencies increase the likelihood of unplanned outages, emergency shutdowns, and reactive maintenance—all of which threaten cargo movement schedules and the Port’s reputation with its terminal operator and international shipping partners.

Table 4 Reliability Benefits
Benefit Impact Description
Operational Continuity Replacing failed and near-failure structural elements ensures 24/7 availability of the berth for RoRo operations.

Less Unexpected
Maintenance
Reducing unplanned downtime through the modernization of aging infrastructure and the elimination of known high-risk failure points.

Structural Redundancy
Improving redundancy across critical systems, including piles, mooring components, and deck surfaces, to minimize operational disruption in the event of localized wear or damage.

Furthermore, enabling staging for vessels unloading at Berth 8 minimizes the risk of backlogs.

Resilient Design Features
Manmade and natural hazard resilience through design features.

These will protect infrastructure performance under future sea level rise, tidal stress, and more extreme storm events.

IV.B Supporting Economic Vitality at the Regional or National Level The Project will meaningfully enhance economic vitality in both Northern California and the broader national freight network by restoring a critical marine cargo asset to full operational capacity. Berth 7 serves as a key RoRo terminal for imported vehicles and related cargo that support California’s consumer market and national automotive distribution. Repairing and expanding the capabilities of the berth will eliminate infrastructure-related capacity constraints, reduce vessel and cargo delays, and support sustainable job growth in a historically underresourced region.

The Port of Richmond is one of only a few deepwater seaports in Northern California capable of handling RoRo cargo at scale. However, deterioration at Berth 7 has forced partial operational shutdowns and significantly reduced the Port’s ability to accommodate vessel calls and cargo throughput. The lack of infrastructure investment has also limited the Port’s potential to service high and heavy cargo movements. This bottleneck has immediate economic implications: delayed vessel discharge translates into increased costs, vessel wait times, labor inefficiencies, and strain on downstream supply chain partners, including rail, drayage, and inland distribution centers. 286
FY 2025 PIDP Narrative Outline
Page | 13
The proposed project will fully restore Berth 7’s structural integrity and eliminate these bottlenecks. The result will be a projected 35% increase in cargo handling capacity, allowing the Port to process up to 108,000 vehicles per year. This expanded throughput will help meet rising demand for vehicle imports and relieve pressure on other West Coast ports, many of which are operating near capacity. By strengthening a smaller regional port with underutilized potential, the project also enhances overall system redundancy and resilience in the face of increasing cargo volumes and global supply chain disruptions.

In addition to direct freight benefits, the project will generate sustained regional economic gains.

Terminal operations at Berth 7 support hundreds of longshore and logistics jobs, most of which are unionized and accessible to Richmond residents. Increased vessel calls, vehicle volumes, and equipment diversity will translate into more labor hours, improved job security, and expanded hiring in a city where unemployment rates have historically exceeded the regional average. The project also supports regional economic goals, including those outlined in the Richmond Workforce Development Plan and the Bay Area’s Plan 2050, which call for sustainable industrial growth, low-emissions infrastructure, and equitable economic opportunity.

Finally, the project supports national supply chain reliability. By modernizing a port that plays a niche but vital role in vehicle imports, the Berth 7 Remediation Project contributes to the stable functioning of a multimodal logistics system that spans the country’s western ports, rail networks, and end markets across the western United States. Furthermore, the Project will not only drive multi-year construction projects for regional technical and engineering organizations, but it will also drive additional work for the Port-based marine service providers, including tugboat operators, marine engineering and dredging companies, and ship agencies.

BCA Summary
As a small project at a small port, this application does not require a BCA.

Additional Economic Benefits
The new infrastructure and the Port's ability to serve a greater volume and diversity of cargo, leading to the creation of upwards of 40 new jobs for longshoremen, and 30 more for teamsters and other trades. The median wage, including benefits, for longshoremen is $115,000, and the median wage for teamsters is $85,000. The net increased economic impact of the Project on local salaries be approximately $7,575,000,000.

IV.C Leveraging Federal Funding
The Project demonstrates the Port’s commitment to partnership by offering a cost match of 20%.

The non-federal share will be provided through a Port CIP budget allocation and fund both resource and contractor efforts in completing the Project.

The Project leverages past federal investments, such as the Honda Port of Entry Project in 2008, which received over $20 million in federal and state grants. That project included critical upgrades such as reinforced pavement, lighting, and stormwater improvements, as well as ship-to-rail infrastructure that remains in use today. The DRIVE Project ensures that the full value of this preceding federal investment is preserved and its use is maximized. 287
FY 2025 PIDP Narrative Outline
Page | 14
Looking forward, the Project will not only address the immediate structural and operational needs of Berth 7. Rather, it will catalyze a broader wave of infrastructure improvements across the PPMT and the Richmond waterfront. First, the completion of this Project will enable future installation of shore infrastructure power, the use of temporary mobile equipment, the operation of self-geared ships, and the staging of high and heavy cargo, all of which are currently infeasible due to insufficient structural capacity on the existing wharf. Rehabilitating the deck, beam, and piles will create the necessary load-bearing conditions to support the installation of substations, cable management systems, and connection points for shore power.

In addition, the City and Port are pursuing plans to redevelop adjacent Port facilities to house workforce development and training programs targeted toward local residents. These programs are envisioned to support long-term careers in port operations, skilled trades, and equipment training.

The safe and functional restoration of Berth 7 is foundational to ensuring the viability of these training spaces within an active and modernized terminal.

Finally, this investment lays the groundwork for the future redevelopment of neighboring berths and terminal assets that remain underutilized due to shared structural limitations. With Berth 7 brought back to full working condition, the Port will be in a stronger position—both financially and logistically—to pursue additional infrastructure grants, private investment, and phased development aimed at increasing cargo throughput and accommodating a broader mix of cargo types.

These investments, totaling over $162,500,000, are summarized in Table 5.

Table 5 Catalyzed Infrastructure Investments
Investment Name Cost
Berth 7 Shore Power Installation $9,500,000
Berth 5 and 6 Wharf Repairs and Pavement Settlement $68,000,000 Berth 8 Wharf Repairs $75,000,000
PPMT Building Renovation for Workforce Development $10,000,000 In this way, the Project is not only a standalone capital improvement but also a critical first step in a broader transformation of the Port of Richmond. By leveraging federal funding now, the Port can unlock future infrastructure investments to continue supporting long-term economic, environmental, and community impact.

IV.D Port Resilience
As a coastal facility, the Port is vulnerable to hurricanes, storm surges, flooding, and other natural hazards. Additionally, growing cargo volumes and concentrated yard activity increase the potential impact of manmade disruptions such as fires, utility failures, or cyber incidents. These risks can jeopardize operations, damage infrastructure, and result in cascading disruptions to the regional supply chain. The Project will substantially improve the Port’s ability to withstand and recover from these man-made and natural hazards, strengthening the operational resilience of a critical marine cargo asset, Berth 7, within Northern California’s freight network. 288
FY 2025 PIDP Narrative Outline
Page | 15
The impacts of man-made and natural hazard at Berth 7 are exacerbated by widespread structural deterioration, including a fractured load-bearing beam, corroded piles, and compromised decking.

These conditions reduce the berth’s ability to perform under stress and increase the likelihood of cascading failures during emergency events. The Project will address these vulnerabilities through targeted structural rehabilitation, restoring the berth’s load-bearing integrity and ensuring its continued use in the face of adverse conditions.

In terms of natural hazards, the Project directly mitigates risks associated with seismic activity, tidal surges, and long-term sea level rise. The San Francisco Bay Area is a high-risk seismic zone, and Berth 7 was not originally designed to meet modern seismic standards. By replacing compromised piles and deck elements, the Project introduces updated seismic performance characteristics, significantly reducing the likelihood of structural collapse or extended downtime following an earthquake. These upgrades align with regional adaptation strategies outlined in the Bay Area’s Regional Shoreline Adaptation Plan and the City of Richmond’s Climate Action Plan, both of which identify waterfront industrial facilities as priority assets for natural disaster resilience.

In addressing man-made hazards, the Project reduces the risks of human-caused disruptions, equipment failure, and infrastructure fatigue. Current conditions limit the berth’s ability to safely accommodate modern RoRo operations, increasing the risk of accidents, mechanical damage, and unsafe working conditions. By modernizing structural systems and improving the working surface for cargo-handling equipment and personnel, the Project reduces the likelihood of operational failure due to equipment overload, pavement collapse, or degraded mooring infrastructure.

Additionally, the Project enhances operational resilience by restoring a key berth to full capacity, enabling better response flexibility when disruptions occur elsewhere in the Bay Area freight system. This added redundancy is critical for managing emergency diversions, cargo surges, or labor constraints.

By addressing the vulnerabilities associated with both natural and man-made hazards, the Project will extend the useful life of Berth 7, protect port workers and marine assets, and secure the continuity of a vital regional logistics node in the face of increasing environmental and operational uncertainty.

V Additional Considerations
V.A Workforce Development
The Port is actively engaged in workforce development through ongoing programming and community partnerships that expand access to maritime and logistics career pathways. As a municipally operated port, the City of Richmond plays a direct role in advancing local hiring, job access, and hands-on training opportunities, particularly for local residents.

The Port regularly participates in local and regional job fairs, career days, and recruitment events to raise awareness about employment opportunities in port operations, transportation, construction, and related industries. In addition, the Port collaborates with workforce development organizations, including Working Waterfront Coalition San Francisco (Waterfrontjobs.com), to support job placement and pre-apprenticeship programming. These efforts reflect a broader 289
FY 2025 PIDP Narrative Outline
Page | 16
citywide strategy to ensure that public infrastructure investments contribute to inclusive economic opportunity and long-term career access for Richmond residents. This collaboration is reflected in the letter of support for the DRIVE Project attached in Appendix A.

The Project will build on this foundation with specific, project-aligned workforce commitments.

AWC, the Port’s terminal operator and tenant at Berth 7, has committed to establishing two fourmonth internship positions tied directly to RoRo operations during the DRIVE Project. The internship positions will be held with AWC Management, and interns will gain skills by supporting and shadowing members of the management team. These internships will provide real-world exposure to port logistics and auto processing operations, with a focus on preparing participants for entry-level roles and long-term advancement within the vehicle import supply chain. AWC will preferentially recruit from local high schools, community colleges, and workforce training partners to ensure local access to port and maritime career opportunities. This commitment is reflected in AWC’s letter of commitment for the DRIVE Project, attached in Appendix A.

As mentioned in IV.C Leveraging Federal Funding, the Project will also catalyze the development of a permanent workforce development center on Port property. This planned facility will support skills training in areas such as RoRo operations, equipment maintenance, shore power infrastructure, and modern technologies. Once Berth 7 is structurally restored, it will create safe, stable conditions for these activities to occur on-site and in coordination with live port operations.

The workforce center will serve as a physical and programmatic hub for training the next generation of maritime and logistics professionals, contributing to both regional workforce resilience and the Port’s long-term operational goals. The current facility and its location within the Port is shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8.

Figure 7 Future Workforce Development Hub
290
FY 2025 PIDP Narrative Outline
Page | 17
Figure 8 Workforce Development Hub Location
The historic cafeteria building is centrally located in the port operating area and is the designated target location for establishing a maritime workforce development hub. Although this building has been inactive for several years, it has recently undergone a hazardous materials testing inspection. The Port is imminently contracting a company to complete the demolition of nonstructural and non-historically designated components within the building (e.g., partition walls, drop ceilings, carpets, etc.). Following this demolition, the Port has engaged WJE (www.wje.com) to conduct an architectural assessment of the building. Following this architectural assessment, the Port will open the facility through an open bidding process seeking proposals on the development of a workforce development hub. The building is approximately 12,000 square feet with an adjacent one-acre paved lot.

Through its combination of existing partnerships, project-specific internship programming, and future infrastructure planning, the Port is using DRIVE as a platform for sustained, communitydriven workforce development.

V.B Project Readiness – Technical Capacity
Past Performance
The Port of Richmond has a strong track record of successfully implementing complex maritime infrastructure projects in compliance with state and federal requirements. As a public agency operating within a regulatory environment that includes CEQA, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permitting, and the Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC), the Port has demonstrated the capacity to deliver capital improvements on time, within budget, and in full adherence to environmental and contracting obligations.

The most notable example of the Port’s past performance is the successful completion of the Honda Port of Entry Project, which redeveloped the PPMT to support high-volume RoRo operations. That effort involved over $20 million in federal and state grant funding and leveraged $37.9 million in local bond financing. The Port managed all aspects of project development—including design, permitting, construction procurement, and contractor oversight—and coordinated closely with Cafeteria Building located at
1333 Canal Blvd, Point
Potrero Marine Terminal,
Richmond CA
291
FY 2025 PIDP Narrative Outline
Page | 18
AWC, BNSF Railway, and multiple regulatory agencies. The project included structural upgrades, environmental mitigation measures, electrical and lighting improvements, stormwater infrastructure, and wharf rehabilitation. All work was completed in accordance with the applicable federal procurement and environmental standards, and the terminal now operates as a successful RoRo facility processing tens of thousands of vehicles annually.

Since the 2008 Honda Port of Entry project, the Port has delivered $20.0 million worth of projects across its property. These include a $5 million 12-mile fiber optic network in partnership with FEMA and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which was designed to enhance port-wide connectivity and support operational security. It also includes a $4 million high-mast lighting project funded through the California Port and Maritime Security Grant Program, improving nighttime visibility and safety across the terminal. Environmental and community priorities were addressed through a $2 million extension of the San Francisco Bay Trail, supported by the State of California’s Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation Program, improving public access and shoreline resiliency. In 2015, the Port oversaw the $5 million renovation of the historic Riggers Loft into the Port Administration Building, funded in part by the State’s Emergency Management Agency. This project combined historic preservation with functional modernization. These projects highlight the Port’s ability to manage diverse scopes, from cybersecurity and energy infrastructure to environmental access and historic rehabilitation. They reflect a consistent pattern of successful grant acquisition, interagency coordination, and disciplined project delivery.

In addition to its capital delivery capacity, the Port is well-versed in federal grant administration and compliance. The City of Richmond, which owns and operates the Port, has longstanding experience managing state and federal funds, maintaining transparent fiscal reporting systems, and ensuring compliance with Davis-Bacon labor requirements, Buy America provisions, NEPA coordination when applicable. The Port staff managing the Project will have access to City resources in ensuring that all requirements and provisions are satisfied.

The Port will engage CSWST2 (www.cswst2.com) to
support construction engineering of the project. The firm and its key staff supported the Port in the 2010 Honda Port of Entry project and various capital improvement projects over the last 15 years. This has included all the federally funded grants received. Their expertise in supporting the Port of Richmond’s infrastructure development and maritime safety protocols will be critical to maintaining quality control and minimizing construction risk. By partnering with a firm known for its technical rigor, responsiveness, and successful delivery of similar projects, the Port adds a layer of professional oversight that will help ensure the DRIVE Project is completed on time, within budget, and in full compliance with federal and state requirements.

To ensure full compliance with all federal grant
requirements, the Port of Richmond will engage Momentum (buildmomentum.io) to provide professional grant
management services for the DRIVE Project. Momentum
specializes in supporting public agencies through the entire federal grant lifecycle—from preaward compliance to post-award reporting, documentation, and closeout. The firm has successfully managed millions of dollars in federal infrastructure funding across multiple programs, including 292
FY 2025 PIDP Narrative Outline
Page | 19
PIDP, RAISE, INFRA, and EPA Clean Ports, and is well-versed in meeting requirements related to Buy America, Davis-Bacon prevailing wage, NEPA/NHPA compliance, and quarterly federal reporting. By leveraging Momentum’s expertise, the Port ensures that all grant-related activities are handled in accordance with MARAD and USDOT guidance. This partnership will reduce administrative burden, minimize risk of noncompliance, and support efficient, transparent delivery of federal funds.

Project Schedule
The Port has already completed a detailed structural condition assessment and coordinated earlystage engineering evaluations. These steps demonstrate both technical foresight and a proactive approach to project delivery. The Port is prepared to advance final design, environmental permitting, and construction in accordance with all applicable federal and state requirements.

The Gantt chart presented in Figure 9 illustrates the proposed schedule for DRIVE, providing a comprehensive view of key activities, phases, and interdependencies from project initiation through completion. The key assumption is that contracting will be completed by April 2026. Up until the contract is finalized, the Port will be completing all remaining pre-work such that the DRIVE Project can begin without delay. However, the timeline is designed with flexibility and can be extended as needed should the contracting process take longer.

The pre-work for the Project, outside the scope of DRIVE, has already begun with a Planning Phase, which was completed in August 2025. This phase included site inspection, assessments, and preliminary design. The next phase of pre-work to be completed before DRIVE is initiated is the Engineering, Environmental, and Permitting Phase, beginning in October 2025 and continuing through August 2026. Activities in this phase include preparation of the project description, CEQA documentation (Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration), development of 100% construction documents, and obtaining local, state, and federal permits. Upon the grant award, the Port will coordinate with the federal lead agency to develop a review in accordance with NEPA using the data development under CEQA to support the finding. The Port expects to complete an Environmental Assessment followed by a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI). Despite the expedited timeline needed to secure those determinations, the schedule has been allocated 140 days for CEQA. This reflects the Port’s approach to project readiness and feasibility, ensuring that the Project can begin without delay.

The DRIVE Project begins with the Bidding and Construction Phase, which spans from May 2026 through March 2028. Following the award of PIDP funds, the Project will begin the NEPA process.

The schedule allocates 60 days to complete the process, which is made possible by leveraging the work completed through the CEQA process. The following bidding activities begin in October 2026 and include advertising, the bid period, award selection, and ultimate approval by the City Council. The final phase of DRIVE, construction, begins in mid-January 2027. The construction 293

Budget Methodology
The cost data presented in the project budget was compiled from June through August 2025, drawing on a combination of reliable sources to ensure accuracy and relevance. The primary source was the Moffatt & Nichol Port of Richmond PPMT Condition Assessment Report, the relevant cost excerpt is provided in Appendix E, which was used to validate the Port’s unit cost estimations and provide a solid basis for estimating construction and related expenditures.

The estimates reflect a design completion level of approximately 10%, which includes an engineering analysis, details of repairs, and estimated cost from a Bay Area Engineering contractor.

This level of design maturity provides a reasonable degree of confidence in the projected costs and ensures that the estimates are aligned with DRIVE's current scope and technical requirements.

Adjustments were made in developing the budget to account for current market conditions, recent trends in material and labor costs, and project-specific considerations such as site constraints and schedule phasing. Further, 9.2% escalation was applied to account for cost increases between 2025 and 2027, when construction costs will be borne. As a result, the cost information is both recent and tailored to the DRIVE’s specific needs and circumstances. This careful approach to cost estimation demonstrates a high level of technical preparedness, supporting the project's overall feasibility and readiness for execution. A summary of each cost item which makes up the Berth 7 Wharf Remediation component, and thus the entire DRIVE Project, is outlined in Table 8.

Beyond the project costs listed above, the Port has committed a contingency reserve of $2,806,112, representing 20% of the total project cost, to manage potential cost overruns associated with the DRIVE Project proactively. This contingency is a dedicated financial safeguard intended to cover unforeseen conditions, such as material price escalation, unanticipated structural repairs, or construction delays. Importantly, this 20% contingency is in addition to the Port’s committed non296 FY 2025 PIDP Narrative Outline
Page | 23
federal match and does not reduce or overlap with the local funding contribution required under the PIDP. By setting aside these funds specifically for risk management, the Port demonstrates strong financial stewardship and a proactive approach to ensuring the Project remains on time, within budget, and fully deliverable under a range of market or operational conditions.

Coordination with State, Regional, and Local Planning
The DRIVE Project is closely aligned with and contributes to ongoing planning efforts at the local, regional, and state levels. As a structural rehabilitation project designed to restore critical maritime infrastructure at the Port, DRIVE directly supports long-standing public-sector goals around goods movement efficiency, economic development, and natural hazard resilience.

At the local level, the Project is part of the Port’s broader strategy to modernize aging infrastructure at the PPMT, an effort reflected in multiple planning documents and capital improvement initiatives advanced by the City of Richmond. The City’s Climate Action Plan and General Plan 2030 identify the waterfront as a priority area for infrastructure investment and industrial revitalization, all of which are furthered by the restoration of Berth 7. Additionally, the Port is actively participating in the Richmond Rising initiative, which seeks to combine clean transportation investment with local workforce development.

Regionally, the DRIVE Project aligns with the Plan Bay Area 2050 strategy led by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), which prioritizes infrastructure that strengthens the resilience of key freight corridors and expands multimodal access at seaports. By improving the structural integrity and operational capacity of Berth 7, the project supports regional freight mobility goals and provides critical system redundancy in a congested and earthquake-prone transportation network.

At the state level, the Project supports implementation of the California Freight Mobility Plan, Port Action Plan, and the California Sustainable Freight Action Plan, all of which emphasize the need to rehabilitate aging port infrastructure while preparing facilities for clean technology and improved resiliency. The project also lays the groundwork for future installation of shore power and emissions-reducing technologies consistent with California Air Resources Board (CARB) regulations for vessel operations.

Through its integration with these planning frameworks, the DRIVE Project reflects a coordinated, forward-looking investment in freight infrastructure that not only restores a key berth to service but also does so in a way that is environmentally responsible, regionally connected, and responsive to local priorities.

Compliance with Federal Requirements
The Port is fully committed to complying with all applicable federal requirements associated with the PIDP and any other U.S. DOT or MARAD funding sources. As a public agency with extensive experience administering federally funded infrastructure projects, the Port has established systems in place to ensure compliance with federal labor laws, procurement rules, and reporting protocols.

The Port will comply with Buy America provisions and require all contractors and subcontractors to certify that iron, steel, and other construction materials are produced in the United States, in 297
FY 2025 PIDP Narrative Outline
Page | 24
accordance with the Build America, Buy America Act. As noted, the primary materials for the DRIVE Project—including steel piles, concrete decking, and asphalt—are readily available from domestic sources.

In addition, the Port will adhere to Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage requirements and federal guidelines for competitive procurement, financial management, and grant reporting. As demonstrated by the Port’s successful management of previous federal grants, including the Honda Port of Entry project, the Port has the technical, administrative, and financial capacity to ensure full compliance with all federal regulations throughout the life of the DRIVE Project.

Risk Mitigation Strategy
The Port has developed a comprehensive risk mitigation strategy to ensure the successful, on-time, and on-budget delivery of the DRIVE Project. While the overall risk profile is considered low— due to the use of proven construction methods, secured local match funding, and a clearly defined scope of work—the Port recognizes that infrastructure projects of this scale and complexity can encounter unforeseen challenges. To address this, the Port has developed Mitigation Strategies for each prominent risk, all of which are summarized in Table 9.

Table 9 Technical Mitigation Strategies
Risk Technical Mitigation Strategies
Technical
Feasibility
The technical risk associated with the DRIVE Project is considered low. The project scope consists of well-established marine construction activities, including pile driving, structural repairs, and deck replacement, that rely on standard engineering practices and experienced contractors. Potential risks primarily relate to work sequencing within an active marine terminal and the timely acquisition of regulatory permits. These are familiar challenges that the Port has successfully navigated on previous infrastructure projects.

Construction activities will be carefully sequenced to minimize operational disruption, with clear coordination protocols in place between the Port, contractors, and terminal operators. These mitigation strategies will help ensure that the project remains on time and within budget while maintaining the safety and functionality of ongoing terminal operations.

Funding &
Costs
The Port assesses financial capacity and funding risk for the DRIVE Project as low to moderate. The required local match has already been secured through the Port’s Capital Improvement Program budget, ensuring full financial commitment and eliminating the risk of local funding shortfalls.

As the sole local funding partner, the Port simplifies project delivery by avoiding the complexities of multi-agency cost sharing, while leveraging its strong fiscal management and extensive experience administering federal grants in full compliance with financial reporting, audit, and procurement requirements.

While standard construction cost risks (such as fluctuations in the prices of steel, concrete, or marine labor) do exist, the Port has built robust mitigation strategies into the project plan. These include the use of competitive 298
FY 2025 PIDP Narrative Outline
Page | 25
procurement processes, independent cost estimation, and the incorporation of contingency allowances in the construction budget. These measures provide flexibility to absorb moderate market volatility without compromising project delivery timelines or scope. The Port’s conservative fiscal approach and established capital project management practices further support its ability to manage financial risks effectively.

Age of
Infrastructure
The infrastructure at Berth 7 is more than 80 years old, with many structural components dating back to the World War II era. While a comprehensive condition assessment has identified the most critical deficiencies, such as a fractured girder, deteriorated piles, and failing deck sections, the overall age of the structure introduces a degree of uncertainty. There is a low risk that unforeseen conditions may be uncovered during demolition or construction, including hidden corrosion, undocumented repairs, or subsurface instability.

These risks are inherent in legacy maritime structures and underscore the urgency of the proposed rehabilitation. To address this, the Port has incorporated allowances for latent conditions into its construction budget and plans to maintain flexibility in construction sequencing to adapt to any newly discovered issues. This proactive approach will reduce the likelihood that unknown failures will delay or disrupt project delivery.

Operational
Continuity
The risk of disruption to ongoing operations during construction at Berth 7 is considered low. All current RoRo unloading activities at the Port of Richmond are taking place at Berth 8, which will remain fully operational throughout the duration of the DRIVE Project. This allows the Port and its terminal operator to maintain uninterrupted cargo handling without needing to reroute or reschedule vessel calls. Additionally, the Port will coordinate closely with its construction management team and terminal operator to ensure safe separation between active construction zones and operational areas.

Capacity for
Project Delivery
While the administrative risk profile is low due to the use of proven marine construction methods and a clearly defined scope, the Port recognizes that infrastructure projects of this scale may encounter challenges. To mitigate construction and scheduling risks, the Port will engage CSW|ST2 to provide construction management and inspection services. CSW|ST2 brings a strong track record of managing complex waterfront infrastructure projects and will ensure quality control, sequencing, and contractor coordination throughout the project. To further reduce financial and compliance risk, the Port will retain Momentum as its federal grant management consultant.

Momentum has extensive experience administering U.S. Department of Transportation and Maritime Administration grants and will support the Port in meeting all federal requirements. These partnerships, combined with the Port’s internal project oversight, provide strong assurance that the DRIVE Project will be delivered effectively, compliantly, and with minimal risk exposure.

Buy America
Compliance
The Port assesses Buy America compliance risk for the DRIVE Project as low. The Port has a proven track record of meeting federal Buy America 299
FY 2025 PIDP Narrative Outline
Page | 26
requirements on previous waterfront infrastructure projects involving MARAD and other federal partners. The core materials required for this project are all readily available from domestic suppliers, and the Port will include Buy America certification as a mandatory condition of contract award for all contractors and subcontractors.

V.C Project Readiness – NEPA Process and Permitting Risk NEPA Status
The project has not been reviewed in accordance with NEPA as a lead agency will need to evaluate the project. However, in 2013, the Port completed a broadband security project that received a Categorical Exclusion. The Port plans to complete a CEQA document consistent with California law, which can be used as the basis for NEPA once a lead agency is established.

The proposed project has not yet undergone review under the NEPA. However, the Port of Richmond has prior experience with NEPA compliance, including the successful completion of a Broadband Security Project in 2013, which received a Categorical Exclusion from the applicable federal agency.

For the DRIVE Project, the Port plans to complete an environmental review consistent with CEQA. This will begin with an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration that is structured to support subsequent NEPA review once a federal lead agency is designated. The Port will coordinate closely with the selected agency to ensure alignment between CEQA and NEPA documentation, facilitating an efficient and compliant environmental approval process.

NHPA Status
The project site is recognized as a historic resource due to its age and its significance to World War II-era shipbuilding and maritime activity. The Port of Richmond has previously undertaken successful preservation and adaptive reuse efforts at this location, including the rehabilitation of the PPMT in 2010 and the Riggers Loft historic adaptation project in 2015. Based on this track record and the scope of work proposed, the Port anticipates that Section 106 consultation and coordination will proceed without complications, as DRIVE involves structural rehabilitation that is consistent with preserving and protecting the historic character of the site.

The entire Project site was initially created through artificial fill placed during the late 1930s and early 1940s, in conjunction with wartime shipyard development. As a result, the original shoreline was significantly altered prior to the site’s industrial use. The Port has verified the location of known Native American cultural resources at the facility, and these are not located within or adjacent to the Berth 7 project area. Based on this information, no impacts to tribal or cultural resources are anticipated.

Environmental Permits and Reviews
Table 10 below outlines the key environmental permits and reviews that have been identified for DRIVE. All listed items are currently pending and will be submitted during the Engineering and Environmental Phase of the project schedule.

VI Statutory Determinations
Statutory Determination Guidance

1. The project improves
the safety, efficiency, or
reliability of the
movement of goods
through a port or
intermodal connection to
the port.

The DRIVE Project will deliver essential improvements that significantly enhance the safety, efficiency, and reliability of goods movement at the Port of Richmond’s Berth 7. The project addresses critical structural deficiencies that currently restrict RoRo operations and create safety hazards for workers and equipment. By restoring the berth’s load-bearing capacity from as low as 50 PSF to up to 390 PSF, the Project eliminates operational bottlenecks, increases throughput by 35%, and reduces vessel dwell time by 10%. See Section IV.A for more details.

2. The project is cost
effective.

This determination does not apply to the DRIVE Project, as it qualifies as a small project at a small port under PIDP eligibility rules, see section I.B for details. While a formal Benefit-Cost Analysis is not required, the Port has structured the Project to maximize return on investment by targeting high-impact structural repairs that restore berth functionality, eliminate operational bottlenecks, and preserve the value of prior federal investments.

3. The eligible applicant
has the authority to
carry out the project.

As stated in Section I.D, The Port of Richmond has the authority to construct, own, operate, and maintain the DRIVE Project, if granted. On April 18, 2023, the Richmond City Council adopted Resolution 35-23, authorizing the City Manager or their designee to submit grant applications for any and all Maritime
Administration (MARAD) grants for which the City of Richmond is eligible, to execute all necessary and related agreements; and to accept and appropriate grant awards into the Port Enterprise Fund.

Each tenant lease agreement allows the Port, as the landlord, to provide site improvements to the area.

4. The eligible applicant
has sufficient funding
available to meet the
matching requirements.

The Port of Richmond has committed a 20% non-federal match for the DRIVE Project, fully satisfying the PIDP matching
requirement for small port projects. This contribution will be funded through the Port’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Fund, which is dedicated to supporting infrastructure rehabilitation 301
FY 2025 PIDP Narrative Outline
Page | 28
and modernization efforts at the Port. The funds have been allocated to the non-federal match share of the DRIVE Project and are not dependent on third-party contributions, ensuring the match is secure and available at the time of award. See section III.D for more details.

5. The project will be
completed without
unreasonable delay.

The Port of Richmond is actively advancing pre-construction activities to ensure that the DRIVE Project can move swiftly into execution once federal funding is awarded and contracting is completed. The Port has already completed a detailed structural condition assessment of Berth 7 and developed a preliminary repair plan, which identifies priority structural improvements and informs the basis for final design. In parallel, the Port is preparing CEQA documentation, which is anticipated to be completed in alignment with the engineering and permitting schedule. By initiating these critical path items ahead of funding obligation, the Port has positioned the project for immediate advancement following contract execution. All work is scheduled to be completed by December 2027. This timeline includes sufficient flexibility to accommodate potential delays in permitting or procurement, and the Port has built in contingency buffers to avoid impacts to construction sequencing.

6. The project cannot be
easily and efficiently
completed without
Federal funding or
financial assistance
available to the project
sponsor.

Without federal assistance, the Port of Richmond would be forced to divide the DRIVE Project into smaller, piecemeal components implemented over a much longer timeline as local resources become available. This segmented approach would delay urgently needed structural repairs to Berth 7, prolong operational bottlenecks, and defer the safety, efficiency, and throughput benefits. Additionally, phasing the project would result in higher overall costs, due to repeated mobilization of marine contractors, extended project management timelines, and the inability to leverage economies of scale for materials and labor procurement.

These inefficiencies would reduce the cost-effectiveness of the investment and place additional strain on the Port’s limited capital program.

EXHIBIT G

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.
