Police Department SWAT Team in an amount not to

Simmons 510-621-1802).
DISCUSSION:
The Richmond Police Department maintains a specialized team that responds to the City’s highest-risk incidents, search warrants and critical incident situations where there is a credible threat of serious violence and where delaying action can put community members, victims, and first responders at greater risk. Ballistic helmets are required protective equipment for these operations because head injuries can be catastrophic.
The Department needs to replace the currently expired safety helmets for members of the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team.
The purpose is to protect police officers from potentially fatal head injuries and to ensure equipment reliability during the City’s most dangerous responses.
High-risk incidents require a planned, coordinated response, and it is often important to take a suspect into custody promptly to stop ongoing danger, prevent escalation, and protect victims and the public. Standardizing reliable protective helmets reduces the risk of serious injury, supports operational readiness, and helps ensure that City staff can respond effectively when minutes matter.
1. Meaningful head protection against real-world threats These helmets are designed for ballistic protection and are built to defeat common handgun threats and other hazards such as fragmentation and impacts.
Additionally, SWAT officers face blunt impacts from debris, thrown objects, or physical altercations. Ballistic helmets absorb and distribute impact energy, reducing the risk of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs).
2. Compatibility with communications, hearing protection, and night-vision High-cut helmets are selected because they better accommodate hearing protection and communication headsets and allow stable use of night-vision mounting systems.
The Richmond Police Department (RPD) solicited quotes from three vendors for the purchase of Ops-Core ballistic helmet systems. Quotes were received from Adamson Police Products, Atomic Defense, and ArmorLite. After reviewing the submissions, RPD determined that the quote from Adamson Police Products was the lowest responsive quote at a total cost of $46,232.20 including tax. The other quotes received were $49,962.32 from ArmorLite and $54,250.00 from Atomic Defense. Accordingly, City staff 1113

recommend that the City Council authorize the purchase from Adamson Police Products as the lowest responsive bidder.

While speaking with the suspect, officers saw casings on the ground in the backyard. The suspect was detained while officers conducted a protective security check of the backyard. During the protective security check, officers came across an open door to a detached shed, at which time they saw two pistols and a box of ammunition on top of a table. The scene was secured, and no one else was located in the backyard. The suspect was placed under arrest. Officers authored a search warrant, and all evidence was collected.

These contracts are for mandatory operating expenses associated with the day-to-day operations of the Police Department and include access to Department of Justice and County records, fingerprint identification, forensic lab analysis, booking fees, jail access, inmate extradition, radio maintenance, and recruit officer training.
To improve administrative efficiency, City staff are requesting City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute specific contracts, interagency agreements, and/or purchase requisitions listed in the resolution provided the contract, or requisition, amounts do not exceed the amounts listed for each fiscal year. Other than the adjustments made to estimated costs and the addition of one fiscal year, this resolution is identical to the prior years adopted resolutions including Resolution 158-20 for Fiscal Years 2020-2021 and 2021-2022, Resolution No. 87-22 for Fiscal Years 2022-2023 and 2023-2024, and Resolution No. 69-24 for Fiscal Years 2024-2025 and 2025-2026.

Subject: Contract with Veritone, Inc. for RIPA Report and Audio/Video Redaction Services
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The proposed three-year not-to-exceed $300,000 contract is included within the approved fiscal year 2025- 2026 Police Department budget and will be budgeted
accordingly in subsequent fiscal year budgets (Account
String: 01191021-400209).
PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:
None.
STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:
The California Department of Justice requires ongoing
data submission under the Racial and Identity Profiling Act (RIPA), as authorized by Assembly Bill 953 (AB 953).
The Police Department relies on Veritone software to
support compliant data collection, reporting, and
transmission of required RIPA data directly to the
California Department of Justice. In addition, the Police Department is required to redact sensitive information
from audio and video records prior to public release
under the California Public Records Act. Continued
access to Veritone is necessary to support both RIPA
reporting compliance and mandated audio/video
redaction requirements in accordance with applicable
state law.
AGENDA
REPORT
1130
April 7, 2026
RECOMMENDED ACTION: APPROVE a sole-source contract with Veritone, Inc. for Racial and Identity Profiling Act (RIPA) reporting support and audio/video redaction services required for California Public Records Act compliance, in an amount not to
exceed $300,000 for the period April 8, 2026, through
April 7, 2029, with two optional one-year extensions in an amount not to exceed $100,000 per year – Police
Department (Chief Timothy Simmons 510-620-
6651/Lieutenant Joseph England 510-620-6661).
DISCUSSION:
Assembly Bill 953, the Racial and Identity Profiling Act (RIPA) requires law enforcement agencies to collect, validate, and submit stop data and report that information to the California Department of Justice, Office of the Attorney General on a defined reporting schedule. The data elements required to be collected and reported include the date, time, and the duration of the stop, location of stop, perceived race or ethnicity of person stopped, perceived gender of person stopped, perceived age of the person stopped, and a number of other informational categories derived from an officer’s perceived knowledge of the suspect prior to any interaction. Once collected, each law enforcement agency is responsible for ensuring that no personally identifiable information (PII) is included in the data. Next, this information must be securely transmitted to the California State Department of Justice (DoJ). Failure to comply with RIPA reporting and dataquality requirements may result in findings of noncompliance, audit deficiencies, and reputational and legal risk to the City.
Veritone’s RIPA software will be able to automatically find, analyze, and flag inconsistent data and move it to review. Once all reviews are completed, the correct data will be sent to the California Department of Justice through Veritone’s software server without any input by Richmond Police Department (RPD) personnel.
Under Senate Bill 90, local governments may request reimbursement for state mandated activities that incur additional costs for local entities. Veritone’s RIPA software can track the interaction time for each report entered by an officer (and the review time); therefore, RPD staff may be able to use the time tracking data embedded in the software as support for its claim for state reimbursement.
The Police Department must also comply with removing sensitive data before releasing audio/video records requested pursuant to the California Public Records Act (CPRA).
Veritone’s redaction software offers a solution that automates this process, significantly reducing the time and effort required to respond to CPRA requests. This allows officers and administrative staff to focus on their primary responsibilities, enhancing overall efficiency.
1131
April 7, 2026
Veritone’s redaction software ensures high accuracy in identifying and redacting sensitive information, minimizing the risk of human error and maintaining consistency.
The customizable redaction policies allow the software to adhere to the Department’s specific requirements, ensuring we meet legal standards and protect privacy. By accurately redacting faces, license plates, and other personal identifiers, the software safeguards the privacy of victims, witnesses, and uninvolved parties, which is crucial for maintaining public trust as well as legal and ethical standards.
The automated redaction tool reduces labor costs associated with manual processes, offering significant savings. Veritone’s subscription-based redaction software provides scalable cost management aligned with budget, need, and request volume.
A sole-source procurement is justified due to the specialized and integrated nature of the Veritone platform, which provides a DOJ-validated RIPA data submission system and integrated digital redaction capabilities required for compliance with the California Public Records Act. A market review found that while other vendors offer partial functionality, none provide a fully integrated, DOJ-compliant solution that meets the City’s operational, legal, and technical requirements without substantial redevelopment.
Transitioning to another system would require significant data migration, reconfiguration, and staff retraining, resulting in increased costs and service disruption.
Accordingly, continued use of this vendor is in the best interest of the City and supports sole-source procurement.

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.

AGENDA
REPORT
1160
April 7, 2026
RECOMMENDED ACTION: ADOPT a resolution to APPROVE a construction agreement with O. C. Jones & Sons Inc. for the Area FM
Temporary Cap Project in an amount not to exceed
$785,350 with an additional 20 percent construction
contingency in the amount of $156,700, AUTHORIZE the
director of public works to approve change orders within this contingency amount; and APPROPRIATE $450,000
in the Marina Enterprise Fund 4005 - Public Works
Department (Craig Murray 510-307-8188/Hillal Hamdan
510-621-1612).
DISCUSSION:
The California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), the state agency responsible for overseeing environmental cleanup, has approved a plan—developed jointly with the City of Richmond—to install a temporary protective cover (“environmental cap”) over Area FM in Marina Bay, located immediately east of the Boat Launch ramp. An environmental cap is a layer placed over contaminated soil to prevent people and animals from coming into contact with contamination and to reduce the spread of pollutants. Construction will include grading, installing drainage systems to manage stormwater, and placing an asphalt concrete layer (similar to roadway pavement) to serve as the temporary cap, all in accordance with approved design and construction standards. Funding will come from the City’s Capital Improvement Program and the Marina Fund.
This project will complete the installation of environmental caps on all nine City-owned parcels in Marina Bay with land-use restrictions due to soil and/or groundwater contamination, with Area FM as the final site (Attachment 1). Area FM is part of the historic Richmond Shipyards, heavily used during World War II for shipbuilding, and as a result, requires ongoing environmental management. DTSC approved the work plan for the temporary cap in fall 2025.
The City publicly solicited bids for the project via BidsOnline on December 9, 2025. Bids were opened on January 15, 2026, with a total of twelve (12) submissions with the following results (Attachment 2):

Bidder #11 W.R. Forde Associates Inc., Richmond $1,272,520.00 Bidder #12 Innovative Construction Solutions,

It was determined O.C. Jones Inc. is the lowest responsive bidder. City staff further determined the bidder to be responsible following a comprehensive review and analysis of all submissions. O.C. Jones Inc. is responsive because its bid meets all requirements of the project and the terms and conditions of the contract. Likewise, the contractor is responsible because it possesses the qualifications, experience, reputation, facilities, and financial resources necessary to perform the work.
In conclusion, City staff recommend the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing a construction agreement for $785,350 with O.C. Jones Inc. for the Area FM Temporary Cap Project and establishing a construction contingency of $156,700 (20%) for change orders under the Director of Public Works’ authority. City staff also recommend that City Council authorize an appropriation of additional funds in the amount of $450,000 in the Marina Enterprise Fund 4005 to supplement the construction bid overage, construction contingency, construction management and related costs.

(a) The City shall retain five percent (5%) of the sum requested in each progress payment unless the Contractor elects to invoke the procedures set forth at California Public Contract Code 22300 to substitute securities to ensure performance under the contract.
1. At the request and the expense of the Contractor, securities equivalent to the amount withheld shall be deposited with the City, or with a state or federally chartered bank in the state as escrow agent, who shall then pay the retained funds to the Contractor. Upon satisfactory completion of the contract, the securities shall be returned to the Contractor.
2. Alternatively, the Contractor may request and the City shall make payment of retentions earned directly to the escrow agent at the expense of the Contractor. At the expense of the Contractor, the Contractor may direct the investment of the payments into securities and the Contractor shall receive the interest earned on the investments upon the same terms provided for in Public Contract Code 22300 for securities deposited by the Contractor. Upon satisfactory completion of this Agreement, the Contractor shall receive from the escrow agent all securities, interest, and payments received by the escrow agent from the owner, pursuant to the terms of this section.
(b) If the Contractor chooses to place securities in escrow, the escrow agreement to be used shall be substantially similar to the following form:
1341
6 ESCROW AGREEMENT FOR SECURITY DEPOSITS IN LIEU OF RETENTION This Escrow Agreement is made and entered into by and between City of Richmond whose address is 450 Civic Center Plaza, Richmond, CA 94804 hereinafter called "Owner," O.C.Jones & Sons, Inc. whose address is 1520 Fourth Street, Berkeley, CA 94710 hereinafter called "Contractor" and ___________ whose address is ________________________________ hereinafter called "Escrow Agent."

Alternatively, on written request of the Contractor, the Owner shall make payments of the retention earnings directly to the Escrow Agent. When the Contractor deposits the securities as a substitute for Contract earnings, the Escrow Agent shall notify the Owner within 10 days of the deposit. The market value of the securities at the time of the substitution shall be at least equal to the cash amount then required to be withheld as retention under the terms of the Contract between the Owner and Contractor.

(2) The Owner shall make progress payments to the Contractor for those funds which otherwise would be withheld from progress payments pursuant to the Contract provisions, provided that the Escrow Agent holds securities in the form and amount specified above. (3) When the Owner makes payment of retentions earned directly to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent shall hold them for the benefit of the Contractor until the time that the escrow created under this contract is terminated. The Contractor may direct the investment of the payments into securities. All terms and conditions of this agreement and the rights and responsibilities of the parties shall be equally applicable and binding when the Owner pays the Escrow Agent directly.
(4) Contractor shall be responsible for paying all fees for the expenses incurred by Escrow Agent in administering the Escrow Account and all expenses of the Owner. These expenses and payment terms shall be determined by the Owner, Contractor, and Escrow Agent. (5) The interest earned on the securities or the money market accounts held in escrow and all interest earned on that interest shall be for the sole account of Contractor and shall be subject to withdrawal by Contractor at any time and from time to time without notice to the Owner. (6) Contractor shall have the right to withdraw all or any part of the principal in the Escrow Account only by written notice to Escrow Agent accompanied by written authorization from the Owner to the Escrow Agent that Owner consents to the withdrawal of the amount sought to be withdrawn by Contractor.
(7) The Owner shall have a right to draw upon the securities in the event of default by the Contractor. Upon seven days' written notice to the Escrow Agent from the Owner of the default, the Escrow Agent shall immediately convert the securities to cash and shall distribute the cash as instructed by the Owner.
(8) Upon receipt of written notification from the Owner certifying that the Contract is final and complete, and that the Contractor has complied with all requirements and procedures applicable to the Contract, Escrow Agent shall release to Contractor all securities and interest on deposit 1342
7 less escrow fees and charges of the Escrow Account. The escrow shall be closed immediately upon disbursement of all moneys and securities on deposit and payments of fees and charges. (9) Escrow Agent shall rely on the written notifications from the Owner and the Contractor pursuant to Sections (5) to (8), inclusive, of this Agreement and the Owner and Contractor shall hold Escrow Agent harmless from Escrow Agent's release and disbursement of the securities and interest as set forth above.

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
2.1 Events of Default.
In addition the remedies set forth in Section 2.2, below, in the event of default the Department Head reserves the right to stop work immediately if any action or inaction by the Contractor or any subcontractor creates a risk of imminent harm to the public or property.
Each of the following shall constitute a "Default" by Contractor under this Agreement:
(a) Breach of Covenants. Failure by Contractor or any subcontractor to duly perform, comply with, or observe any of the conditions, terms, or covenants of any of the Contract Documents. The City shall give Contractor written notice of the breach and specify a time in which to cure the breach. If the Contractor cures the breach within the time specified in the notice or, if the breach cannot be cured in the time specified but the Contractor has diligently pursued measures to cure the breach and to keep the City informed of its progress, then the breach shall not constitute a default provided that the breach is cured within thirty (30) days from the date of the City’s last notice and demand to cure.
(b) Disregard of Laws. Disregard of laws, rules, regulations, directions or instructions of City by Contractor or any subcontractor with respect to the performance of work. (c) Insolvency. A court having jurisdiction shall have made or entered any decree or order (i) adjudging Contractor to be bankrupt or insolvent, (ii) approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization of Contractor or seeking any arrangement for Contractor under the bankruptcy law or any other applicable debtor's relief law or statute of the United States or any state or other jurisdiction, (iii) appointing a receiver, trustee, liquidator, or assignee of Contractor in bankruptcy or insolvency or for any of their properties, (iv) directing the winding up or liquidation of Contractor if any such decree or order described in clauses (i) to (iv), inclusive, shall have continued unstayed or undischarged for a period of ninety (90) days; or (v) Contractor shall have admitted in writing its inability to pay its debts as they fall due or shall have voluntarily submitted to or filed a petition seeking any decree or order of the nature described in clauses (i) to (iv), inclusive.
(d) Suspension; Termination. Contractor shall have voluntarily suspended its business, or shall have voluntarily or involuntarily lost or terminated one or more of the licenses required to perform the work.
(e) Liens on Property and the Development. There shall be filed any claim of lien (other than liens approved in writing by the City) against the Project or the construction site or any part thereof, or any interest or right made appurtenant thereto and the continued maintenance of said claim of lien for a period of twenty (20) days without discharge or satisfaction thereof or provision therefore (including, without limitation, the posting of bonds) satisfactory to the City. 1344
9 2.2 Remedies.
The occurrence of any Default hereunder following the expiration of all applicable notice and cure periods will, either at the option of the City or automatically where so specified, relieve the City of any obligation to make or continue payments and shall give the City the right to proceed with any and all remedies set forth in the Contract Documents, including but not limited to the following:
(a) Specific Performance. The City shall have the right to mandamus or other suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity to require Contractor to perform its obligations and covenants under this Agreement or to enjoin acts on things which may be unlawful or in violation of the provisions of this Agreement.
(b) Right of Contest. Contractor shall have the right to contest in good faith any claim, demand, levy, or assessment the assertion of which would constitute a Default hereunder.
Any such contest shall be prosecuted diligently and in a manner unprejudicial to the City or the rights of the City hereunder.
(c) Remedies Cumulative. No right, power, or remedy given to the City by the terms of the Contract Documents is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power, or remedy; and each and every such right, power, or remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right, power, or remedy given to the City by the terms of any such instrument, or by any statute or otherwise against Contractor and any other person. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of the City to exercise any such rights and remedies shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the City of any such right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of such right or remedy, or any other right or remedy.
2.3 Waiver of Damages.
Contractor, in having tendered the Proposal, shall be deemed to have waived any and all claims for damages because of termination of this Agreement for any reason. Contractor shall not be entitled to any lost profit in the event of termination.

(d) Where the City requests, a performance bond rider covering the changed work must be executed and delivered to the City before proceeding with the changed work, or shortly in time thereafter.
(e) The Department Head or his or her representative has the authority to approve Change Orders with a cumulative dollar value of up to ten percent (10%) of the contract price.
Section 3.3 Claims By Contractor.
(a) No Third-Party Claims. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create or justify any claim against the City by any person that Contractor may have employed or with whom Contractor may have contracted relative to the purchase of materials, supplies or equipment, or the furnishing or the performance of any work or services with respect to the construction of the Project, and Contractor shall include similar requirements in any contracts entered into for the construction of the Project.
(b) Obligation to File Claims for Disputed Work. Should it appear to the Contractor that the work to be performed or any of the matters relative to the Contract 1346
11 Documents are not satisfactorily detailed or explained therein, or should any questions arise as to the meaning or intent of the Contract Documents, or should any dispute arise regarding the true value of any work performed, work omitted, extra work that the Contractor may be required to perform, time extensions, payment to the Contractor during performance of the work, construction of the Project, and/or compliance with procedures or standards set forth in the Contract Documents, or should Contractor otherwise seek extra time or compensation FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, then Contractor shall first follow the procedures set forth in this Agreement, including but not limited to Section 3.2, “Change Orders.” If a dispute remains, then Contractor shall give written notice to the City that expressly invokes this Section 3.3 and requests a determination of the issue. City shall decide the issue in writing within 15 days; City’s decision shall be final and the limitations period for the filing of a claim shall commence upon the City’s issuance of its decision.

(c) Form and Contents of Claim. The Claim shall be submitted to the City within thirty (30) days of receiving the City’s written decision regarding the dispute, or the date the Contractor contends such decision was due, and in no event later than the date of final payment.

Oral or implied modifications shall be of no force or effect.
Section 3.4 Indemnification.
(a) To the fullest extent permissible by law, Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless, and require its subcontractors to defend, indemnify and hold harmless, the City, its elected and appointed officials, and all of its employees, volunteers and agents (the "Indemnified Parties"), from all liability, penalties, costs, losses, damages, expenses, causes of action, claims or judgments, including attorney's fees and other defense costs (collectively, "Claims"), resulting from injury to or death sustained by any person (including Contractor’s or any subcontractors' employees), or damage to property of any kind, or any other injury or damage whatsoever, which Claims arise out of or are in any way connected with the construction of the Project, regardless of Contractor's fault or negligence; provided, however, that Contractor's, and Contractor's subcontractors' indemnity obligations hereunder shall not apply to the extent any Claims are caused by the active negligence or willful act or omission of an Indemnified Party.
