Department (Daniel Chavarria 510-620-5478/Robert
Armijo 510-620-5477/Tawfic Halaby 510-620-
5482/Bradley Harms 510-307-8094).
DISCUSSION:
Background
The City of Richmond is responsible for compliance with state and federal requirements governing its wastewater treatment plant, sanitary sewer collection system, industrial pretreatment program, and stormwater program under the Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit (MRP). The City is a co-permittee under a jointly held National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit with the West County Wastewater District through the West County Agency and is directly accountable for meeting all applicable permit conditions and enforcement obligations.
The regulatory programs supporting the City’s wastewater and stormwater systems require highly specialized expertise in NPDES permitting, pretreatment regulations, sanitary sewer overflow compliance, stormwater quality management, and coordination with state and federal regulatory agencies, including the Regional Water Quality Control Board, State Water Resources Control Board, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Since 2009, Larry Walker & Associates, Inc. (LWA) has provided specialized regulatory compliance and permitting support services to the City. The firm has been directly involved in development, implementation, and compliance support for the City’s current NPDES permit adopted in 2019 and has supported ongoing coordination with the West County Wastewater District and the Regional Water Quality Control Board. LWA also provides regulatory services to the West County Wastewater District under a separate agreement, ensuring consistency and alignment among co-permittees.
On July 18, 2019, the City Council approved a professional services contract with LWA in the amount of $200,000 to provide NPDES compliance support services. On October 5, 2021, the City Council approved Contract Amendment No. 1, increasing the total contract amount to $520,000. On July 11, 2023, the City Council approved a sole- source professional services agreement with LWA to continue providing wastewater and 361
April 21, 2026
stormwater regulatory compliance and environmental support services through June 30, 2026 (Attachment 1).
The City is currently in an active NPDES permit cycle, with increasing regulatory complexity, enhanced enforcement expectations, trash load reduction obligations under the MRP, ongoing pretreatment program requirements, sanitary sewer system regulatory reporting, and preparation for upcoming renewal processes.
Analysis
Larry Walker & Associates possesses unique institutional knowledge of the City’s facilities, permit history, compliance obligations, and regulatory relationships developed over more than a decade of continuous service. This includes direct involvement in the current NPDES permit, Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit implementation, enforcement response coordination, compliance reporting, and regulatory negotiations.
Maintaining continuity of this expertise is critical during an active permit cycle and in advance of upcoming permit renewals.
Transitioning to a new consultant at this stage would require significant duplication of effort, introduce avoidable learning curves, increase costs, and create regulatory risk during a period of heightened compliance and enforcement scrutiny. Such disruption could adversely affect the City’s ability to meet statutory reporting deadlines and maintain defensible compliance positions.
For these reasons, staff have determined that continuation of services through a sole- source professional services agreement is in the best interest of the city. A Sole-Source Justification has been prepared and approved in accordance with the Richmond Municipal Code and City procurement requirements. This procurement is authorized under Richmond Municipal Code section 2.52.326, which permits sole-source contracting when services are unique, specialized, and necessary to maintain continuity of ongoing professional services. An executed sole-source approval for Larry Walker & Associates is currently on file with the City and remains in effect, authorizing the City to procure these specialized regulatory compliance services on a sole-source basis. The proposed agreement is consistent with that approval and reflects continuation of the same core wastewater and stormwater regulatory support services.
City staff recommend that the City Council adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) to approve a sole-source contract (Attachment 2) with Larry Walker & Associates, Inc., for regulatory support to meet ongoing National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements, pretreatment, stormwater, and sanitary sewer compliance obligations, in an amount not to exceed $900,000 (consisting of $806,400 in anticipated costs plus an 11.6% contingency for unanticipated regulatory responses to be charged on a time and material basis based on fees included in the cost proposal attached to the proposed contract) for a three-year term from April 22, 2026, through April 21, 2029, and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract. The approved sole source form and the current contract are attached (Attachments 3 and 4). Approval of this agreement will ensure continuity of specialized regulatory support necessary for the City 362
April 21, 2026
to maintain compliance with state and federal wastewater and stormwater requirements during an active permit cycle and upcoming permit renewals, while sustaining consistent technical expertise and maintaining fiscal and administrative defensibility.

SCOPE OF SERVICES – WASTEWATER AND STORMWATER REGULATORY ASSISTANCE (DECEMBER 1, 2025 TO NOVEMBER 30, 2028)

Subject: Scope of Services – Wastewater and Stormwater Regulatory Assistance (April 22, 2026 to April 21, 2029)
Dear Mr. Halaby,
Larry Walker Associates (LWA) is providing this letter proposal to describe the wastewater and stormwater regulatory assistance that will be provided to the City of Richmond (City) during the next three years.
Assistance will include addressing Richmond-specific issues that may arise during the 2028 NPDES permit renewal application, providing advice on regulatory compliance concerns, preparing and/or reviewing technical reports, implementing pretreatment program requirements, and implementing stormwater program requirements. LWA has provided wastewater and stormwater regulatory assistance to the City since 2009 and is deeply familiar with the City’s wastewater and stormwater regulatory requirements.
The types of activities that LWA may provide to the City over the contract period are described below. Any on-call assistance task, if requested, will be developed with input from the City staff. The cost to provide these services will not exceed $806,400, over the course of the contract, expected from April 22, 2026, to April 21, 2029.
Wastewater Regulatory Assistance
Anticipated, fixed cost tasks
x Prepare a Local Limits Update Report. Per the City’s NPDES permit, in 2024-2025 LWA conducted an evaluation of the City’s local limits. Under this proposed task, LWA will assist the City in implementing recommendations from the 2025 Evaluation and prepare a Local Limits Update Report. The Evaluation recommended that the City eliminate local limits for several constituents, collect additional data for others in order to be able to conduct headworks loading analyses and determine if local limits are needed, and reassess the existing local limits for BOD and TSS at a later date to account for potential reductions from recent improvements at the WWTP. Under this task, LWA would prepare a Local Limits Update Report for submittal to the Regional and State Water Boards, address potential comments from these regulatory agencies, and support City staff in amending the local limits in the Richmond Municipal Code . x Prepare the NPDES permit renewal packet (also known as a Report of Waste Discharge or ROWD), cover letter, and technical analyses that may be required for the renewal of the Richmond’s WPCP NPDES permit. The assistance will include communications with the Regional Water Quality Control Board to address any Richmond WPCP-related concerns that may arise during permit reissuance process. The joint City of Richmond-West County Wastewater (WCW) permit expires July 31, 2029; the ROWD is due by October 1, 2028. It is anticipated that LWA will work with West County Wastewater (under a separate contract) throughout the permit renewal process.
369
LARRY WALKER ASSOCIATES 2
SCOPE OF SERVICES – WASTEWATER AND STORMWATER REGULATORY ASSISTANCE (APRIL 2026 TO APRIL 2029) x Attend Bay Area Clean Water Agencies Association (BACWA) Committee meetings and provide meeting notes with regulatory updates relevant to City wastewater operations. The number of meetings varies per year, but it’s usually 6-8 meetings, depending on the regulatory agencies’ priority issues in any given year such as nutrients removal, biosolids disposal, collection systems management, etc.
On-call tasks
If requested, and under the direction of City staff, LWA is prepared to assist with the following tasks. In the past, we have assisted with these items when the City was undergoing staffing challenges, or when technical assistance and support was needed for highly specialized regulatory reports or submittals requested by regulatory agencies.
x Assist with regulatory reporting for potential sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) from the City’s collection system and continued compliance with the 2022 State Water Resources Control Board Sanitary Sewer System Waste Discharge Requirements (SSS WDR). x Assist in other SSS WDR tasks such as annual re ports, internal audits, and updates to the City’s Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP).
x Provide on-call regulatory compliance advice related to source control, wastewater collection, wastewater treatment, and wastewater disposal activities. x Assist with pretreatment program compliance activities. This assistance may include performing onsite inspections of commercial and industrial users, documenting inspection results, discussing follow-up actions with City staff, responding to EPA inspections or audits, revising the City’s Local Limits, updating program documents and templates, and assisting with preparation of semi-annual and annual pretreatment program reports.
x Assist in preparation of or conduct peer review of NPDES permit compliance reports. x Review potential enforcement actions issued to the City for lapses in wastewater compliance and help the City prepare responses, negotiate penalties, and/or develop compliance tasks for compliance with Regional Water Board or with other legally-mandated requirements.
Stormwater Regulatory Assistance
Anticipated, fixed cost tasks
x Assist with the Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit (MRP) annual reporting, including the supplemental trash reduction report, asset management reporting, cost reporting, and other documents required by the MRP. The Annual Report for activities conducted during the fiscal year is due by September 30th of each year.
x Assist in implementation of the City’s Updated Trash Load Reduction Plan (where by the City is required to achieve a 100% trash load reduction in stormwater) and requirements of the December 2025 Cease and Desist Order (CDO, Order No. R2-2025-0032) by conducting the following tasks:
o Assessment of trash load reductions through On-land Visual Trash Assessments (OVTAs).
Assessments include 1-4 rounds of OVTAs per year, including preparation and coordination support tasks.
o Management of PLDA Inspection Program, including site verifications, coordination with property owners, follow up inspections, and other support tasks. o Evaluation of institutional control measures, including adaptive management of street sweeping program, OVTAs, and small trash capture device installations.
On-call tasks
If requested, and under the direction of City staff, LWA is prepared to assist with the following stormwater tasks. As with on-call wastewater tasks, LWA provided assistance with these items in the past when the City 370

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.

CITY ATTORNEY’S OFFICE
Guidelines for Submitting Requests for Legal Opinion to the Richmond City Attorney’s Office
(last updated 4/11/2024)
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this policy is to ensure:
1) the City of Richmond’s (COR) legal interests are protected,
2) the efficient use of resources of the City Attorney’s Office (CAO), and
3) the quality of the legal review and legal opinions.
The CAO provides legal opinions, research, and recommendations on specific issues made in the form of a Request for Legal Opinion (RLO) that are of legal significance for the COR. RLOs address different subject matters, including but not limited to: approvals as to form for all proposed contracts and amendments, resolutions and ordinances, agenda reports; responding to questions which require legal interpretation and guidance; and conducting legal research. RLOs, however, are not requests to conduct factual research, edit, or proof-read documents.
RLO PROCESS:
1. Submission:
1) All RLOs must be submitted in writing, utilizing the RLO form.
The RLO form is available at:
https://www.ci.richmond.ca.us/DocumentCenter/View/738/AP250-1-Request-for-Legal- Opinion-or-Funding?bidId=
➢ A RLO submission not sent using the RLO form will be returned for resubmission.
2) All RLOs must be sent via email to: [email protected].
No RLO may be verbal, sent directly to an attorney or CAO staff member, or via alternate channels of communication. This ensures coordination and tracking to avoid duplication of effort, efficient use of resources, objectivity, and accountability.
➢ A RLO submission not sent via the RLO email will be returned for resubmission.
437
DocID #1193v2
3) All RLOs require full disclosure of underlying, relevant facts and documentation.
All RLO forms should be filled-out completely and attach all relevant documentation.
Drafts of contracts, resolutions, ordinances, and agenda reports should be in final form, thoroughly researched, and fully proof-read before attaching to a RLO form.
2. Review of RLO Submission:
When an RLO is received, CAO staff will review for completeness (the RLO form is filled out completely; the indicated documents are attached).
➢ A RLO submission that is incomplete, does not enclose all pertinent documentation, and/or is not in final form will be returned for resubmission.
3. Attorney Assignment:
Once staff determines the RLO is complete, an attorney will be assigned within 24 hours.
The requester will receive an email confirmation noting the assigned attorney. If necessary, the assigned attorney may contact the requester for clarification, further information, or additional documents. The assigned attorney will then conduct a thorough and detailed review of applicable law(s) and documents relevant to the issue(s) presented. Once the research is complete, the attorney prepares a response to the RLO. There may be several levels of review with the requester before the RLO is ultimately approved with the assigned attorney’s signature.
➢ All email communications between the attorney(s) and requestor should include a cc to [email protected] for tracking purposes.
4. Review Times and Response Dates:
➢ All RLOs require a minimum of 5-business day response time (exclusive of holidays and RLOs received after 5 p.m. on weekdays and on weekends).
Once an attorney is assigned to an RLO, the requester will receive an initial response date.
The response date may change if, during review, additional information is needed, revisions are required for approval, and/or more time is required due to the issues presented in the RLO.
Attorneys have an ethical duty of due diligence, and must often review and analyze statutes, case law, and numerous documents to render informed, well-researched, and well-analyzed opinions on legal questions. As such, “One Size Doesn’t Always Fit All.” RLOs which require more detailed review and analysis may require more time. There may be circumstances when a quicker review is needed, but that should be the exception rather than the rule. If the opinion involves complex issues, the Chief Assistant City Attorney may assign additional attorney(s) to review the RLO, which may require additional time. 438
DocID #1193v2
For example, City Attorneys are often asked by council members that ordinances adopted by another agency or “model” ordinances be considered as a possible approach to address COR issues. Although this can save time, particularly if the “model” ordinance has already been legally tested, an ordinance that works for one agency does not necessarily address the needs of or meet the requirements of another. As such, thorough review and customization by the CAO is imperative before considering the adoption of a “model” ordinance.
Below are anticipated review times for frequently requested RLOs, but CAO reserves the right to determine review times on a case-by-case basis based on the novelty or complexity of the issue presented:
Type of RLO Anticipated Review Time Needed
Contracts (valued at $10,000 of less) 5 business days
Contracts (valued at more than $10,000) 10 business days Agenda Reports Only 5 business days
Agenda Reports with RLO Approved
Resolutions, Ordinances, or Contracts 10 business days Resolutions 15 business days
Ordinances 20 business days
Legal Opinion/Analysis Memoranda 20 business days
5. RLO Response
The CAO will issue a final response to an RLO in writing via email. The assigned attorney will return a signed RLO form and may attach documentation, such as a memorandum, relevant statutes or ordinances, and/or applicable cases when appropriate. 439
Summarize the request (Include context, historical background, prior actions, and need for meeting body approval):
The Public Works Department requests legal review and approval as to form of a sole- source professional services contract with Larry Walker & Associates, Inc.

(Daniel Chavarria 510-620-5478/Robert Armijo 510-620-
5477/Tawfic Halaby 510-620-5482/Bradley Harms 510-
307-8094).
BACKGROUND:
The City of Richmond is responsible for compliance with state and federal requirements governing its wastewater treatment plant, sanitary sewer collection system, industrial pretreatment program, and stormwater program under the Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit (MRP). The City is a co-permittee under a jointly held National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit with the West County Wastewater District through the West County Agency and is directly accountable for meeting all applicable permit conditions and enforcement obligations.
The regulatory programs supporting the City’s wastewater and stormwater systems require highly specialized expertise in NPDES permitting, pretreatment regulations, sanitary sewer overflow compliance, stormwater quality management, and coordination with state and federal regulatory agencies, including the Regional Water Quality Control Board, State Water Resources Control Board, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Since 2009, Larry Walker & Associates, Inc. (LWA) has provided specialized regulatory compliance and permitting support services to the City. The firm has been directly involved in development, implementation, and compliance support for the City’s current NPDES permit adopted in 2019 and has supported ongoing coordination with the West County Wastewater District and the Regional Water Quality Control Board. LWA also provides regulatory services to the West County Wastewater District under a separate agreement, ensuring consistency and alignment among co-permittees.
On July 18, 2019, the City Council approved a professional services contract with LWA in the amount of $200,000 to provide NPDES compliance support services. On October 5, 2021, the City Council approved Contract Amendment No. 1, increasing the total contract amount to $520,000. On July 11, 2023, the City Council approved a sole- source professional services agreement with LWA to continue providing wastewater and stormwater regulatory compliance and environmental support services through June 30, 2026. A fully executed Sole Source Approval is on file pursuant to Richmond Municipal Code section 2.52.326.
442
March 17, 2026
The City is currently in an active NPDES permit cycle, with increasing regulatory complexity, enhanced enforcement expectations, trash load reduction obligations under the MRP, ongoing pretreatment program requirements, sanitary sewer system regulatory reporting, and preparation for upcoming renewal processes.
ANALYSIS:
Larry Walker & Associates possesses unique institutional knowledge of the City’s facilities, permit history, compliance obligations, and regulatory relationships developed over more than a decade of continuous service. This includes direct involvement in the current NPDES permit, Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit implementation, enforcement response coordination, compliance reporting, and regulatory negotiations.
Maintaining continuity of this expertise is critical during an active permit cycle and in advance of upcoming permit renewals.
Transitioning to a new consultant at this stage would require significant duplication of effort, introduce avoidable learning curves, increase costs, and create regulatory risk during a period of heightened compliance and enforcement scrutiny. Such disruption could adversely affect the City’s ability to meet statutory reporting deadlines and maintain defensible compliance positions.
For these reasons, staff have determined that continuation of services through a sole- source professional services agreement is in the best interest of the city. A Sole Source Justification has been prepared and approved in accordance with the Richmond Municipal Code and City procurement requirements. This procurement is authorized under Richmond Municipal Code section 2.52.326, which permits sole source contracting when services are unique, specialized, and necessary to maintain continuity of ongoing professional services. An executed Sole Source Approval for Larry Walker & Associates is currently on file with the City and remains in effect, authorizing the City to procure these specialized regulatory compliance services on a sole-source basis. The proposed agreement is consistent with that approval and reflects continuation of the same core wastewater and stormwater regulatory support services.
The proposed agreement establishes a three-year term with a not-to-exceed amount of $960,000, structured at $320,000 per year, and is funded through the Wastewater Enterprise Fund. The contract term and funding level are designed to provide sufficient regulatory support to meet ongoing NPDES, pretreatment, stormwater, and sanitary sewer compliance obligations and to support upcoming permit renewal efforts without requiring serial short-term amendments or extensions.
CONCLUSION:
Approval of the proposed sole-source professional services agreement with Larry Walker & Associates will ensure continuity of specialized regulatory support necessary for the City to meet its state and federal wastewater and stormwater compliance 443

obligations during an active permit cycle and upcoming permit renewals, while maintaining fiscal and administrative defensibility.

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”).

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.

Subject:
Revenue Enhancement and Financing Recommendations
for Advanced Life Support (ALS) First Responder Services and Fire Station Upgrades
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no immediate financial impact from receiving this report. However, implementing ALS First Responder
Services and completing needed fire station
replacements and/or upgrades will create substantial
ongoing operational and capital costs. Preliminary work with SCI Consulting Group indicates that new, dedicated revenues or financing mechanisms will be required.
Specific funding options and cost-recovery estimates will be refined and returned to the City Council based on its direction.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:
May 27, 2025
January 27, 2026
STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:
In January 2026, the Richmond Fire Department,
Finance Department, and City Manager’s Office provided
an update on the City’s transition to Advanced Life
Support (ALS) First Responder Services, the associated
fire station upgrade needs, and projected fiscal impacts.
As part of that discussion, and following City Council’s prior direction to pursue ALS implementation after review of the Matrix Consulting Group feasibility study, the City Council requested the City Manager to develop revenue
enhancement and financing recommendations to address
the ongoing operational and capital costs related to ALS AGENDA
REPORT
515
April 21, 2026
services and fire infrastructure needs. This report
responds to that requests by presenting potential
revenue and financing options for City Council
consideration.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
RECEIVE a report on revenue enhancement and
financing options to support Advanced Life Support (ALS) First Responder Services and fire station upgrades and
replacements, and PROVIDE DIRECTION to the city
manager on preferred revenue and financing pathways,
including whether to proceed with preparation for a
potential November 2026 funding measure –
Fire Department/Finance Department/City Manager’s
Office (Chief Aaron Osorio 510-307-8021/Emily Combs
510-890-5534/Shasa Curl 510-620-6512).
DISCUSSION:
On January 27, 2026, staff presented an update on the implementation of Advanced Life Support (ALS) First Responder Services to bring Richmond Fire into alignment with all other areas in Contra Costa County. This effort requires coordination with the Contra Costa County Emergency Medical Services Agency (CCCEMSA), Contra Costa County Fire Chiefs, as well as the following City departments: Fire, City Manager’s Office, City Attorney’s Office, Finance, Human Resources, and Public Works. The update also included preliminary impacts to the City’s five-year financial forecast and early assessments of fire station upgrade and/or replacement needs.
On average, the ALS program is projected to cost approximately $4.1 million annually, based on the five-year program estimate presented to the City Council on January 27, 2026. This annual cost estimate does not include additional expenses for fire station upgrades or the major replacement needs identified in recent facility evaluations.
Regional Precedent for Voter-Approved Revenue Measures
As the City evaluates sustainable long-term funding pathways for ALS services and fire station infrastructure, neighboring West County jurisdictions provide relevant precedents for voter-approved approaches to preserving essential emergency and health services.
Following the threatened and eventual closure of Doctors Medical Center in San Pablo, the West Contra Costa Healthcare District pursued multiple parcel tax measures, most notably Measure D (2004) and Measure J (2011), to maintain emergency department operations and stabilize hospital finances. These measures generated several million dollars annually and demonstrated strong community support for protecting critical emergency-response services. Although the hospital ultimately closed in 2016, this 516
April 21, 2026
experience offers an instructive regional example: when core emergency medical services are at risk, West County voters have historically shown a willingness to consider dedicated revenue measures to sustain those services. This context reinforces the importance of exploring election-based funding tools for Richmond’s ALS First Responder Services and fire station modernization needs.
Recognizing the substantial operational and capital costs associated with ALS service delivery, the City Council requested the City Manager develop revenue enhancement and financing recommendations. Pursuant to this direction, the City Manager, Director of Finance, and Fire Chief are working with SCI Consulting Group (SCI) to evaluate potential funding pathways and obtain technical support for revenue planning and public finance analysis.
Election-Based Funding Pathways
Based on preliminary discussions with SCI, a potential revenue measure could be pursued as early as the November 3, 2026, General Election. A possible timeline includes:
April 2026: Planning and preliminary financial analysis April 2026: Public opinion research (polling)
May – August 2026: Ballot measure development and City Council action August 2026: Submission to Contra Costa County Elections for E-88 deadline August – November 2026: Community outreach and education
Alternatively, the City could pursue a measure in a later election cycle (2027 or 2028) to allow more time for stakeholder engagement, expanded feasibility work, and project-level capital refinement.
Election-based revenue mechanisms available for consideration include:
Special tax (requires two-thirds approval)
Parcel tax
Benefit assessment
General obligation (GO) bond for capital projects
Using Richmond’s 32,683 taxable parcels, a parcel tax dedicated to ALS First Responder Services would generate approximately $1.63 million annually at $50 per parcel, $3.3 million at $100 per parcel, and $4.9 million at $150 per parcel. For comparison, the ALS Update presented to the City Council on January 27, 2026, estimated annual ALS operating costs at approximately $4.1 million, based on a five- year program total of $20.46 million.
At these levels, a parcel tax between $100 and $150 per parcel could cover 80 percent to 120 percent of ALS operating costs, with higher rates providing capacity for physical station replacement and/or upgrades and/or reducing reliance on the General Fund. 517
April 21, 2026
Tax Per Parcel Estimated Annual
Revenue
Percentage Share of Annual ALS Cost
(~$4.1 million)
$50 per parcel $1.6 million 40%
$100 per parcel $3.3 million 80%
$150 per parcel $4.9 million 120% (creates margin for capital)
Each mechanism carries distinct legal requirements and different applications for operational versus capital needs.
Fee-Based and Cost-Recovery Funding Strategies
As part of developing revenue enhancement and financing options, City staff have considered a range of general municipal fee-based and cost-recovery strategies that could help offset the ongoing operational costs associated with ALS First Responder Services.
Cities throughout California routinely rely on cost-recovery fees to support essential public safety services, including fire and emergency response, and other direct-service activities. These fees are typically structured to recover a portion of the costs of providing specialized or enhanced service levels to City residents.
Potential fee-based strategies for Richmond’s consideration include:
A First Responder Service Fee designed to recover a portion of the direct costs associated with providing advanced life support–level emergency response
Periodic updates to applicable public safety fee schedules based on formal cost-of-service analysis
Administrative and regulatory fees tied to program oversight, compliance, or service delivery where allowable under state and local law
These cost-recovery approaches are commonly used by California jurisdictions to help sustain public safety services and reduce pressure on the General Fund. If directed by the City Council, City staff would work with SCI Consulting Group to further evaluate the applicability, structure, and cost-of-a service basis for any such fee and return with detailed recommendations at a future meeting.
Capital Needs Exploration
Preliminary facility evaluations have identified both near-term upgrades and major replacement needs across several fire stations, as previously presented to the City Council. These estimates, developed jointly with the Public Works Department and a 518
April 21, 2026
consultant team, form the baseline for determining how the City may finance the required capital improvements.
Many of the capital needs identified could be funded through the election-based mechanisms described earlier in this report, such as a general obligation (GO) bond, a parcel tax, or a benefit assessment. These tools are traditionally used by California jurisdictions to support fire station reconstruction, major renovations, and resilience-focused facility improvements.
In addition to potential voter-approved pathways, the City may also consider non-election-based financing options to support capital needs, including:
Lease-revenue financing or Certificates of Participation (COPs) for major facility upgrades or phased station replacements,
Phasing strategies that allow stations to be upgraded or replaced in stages, potentially paired with temporary facilities
City staff will continue refining the station upgrade and replacement cost estimates through formal facility condition assessments and project scoping. Updated capital cost information and a set of recommended financing approaches, integrating both voter-approved and non-election-based tools, will be returned to the City Council for further direction.
Staff Recommendation on Funding Pathways
Based on City Council’s prior direction and the significant long-term operational and capital needs associated with ALS First Responder Services, City staff recommend that the City Council direct staff to continue pursuing election-based funding pathways as part of the City’s overall financial strategy.
Continuing work in this area will allow staff to:
Advance public opinion research
Refine revenue measure options
Align funding strategies with fire service operational and capital needs Prepare the City Council for a decision regarding a potential November 2026 ballot measure
SYNERGISTIC POLICIES:
The ALS First Responder Services initiative aligns with historic and current City Council policies by implementing Health in All Policies measures by improving conditions that reduce health disparities and support health equity. It also advances the City Council’s strategic goal of enhancing public safety through improved emergency response and preparedness, and strengthens the City’s internal infrastructure by upgrading fire stations that may serve as climate resilience hubs/centers. In addition, ensuring 519

Subject:
Approval of the Donation Agreement for Leasehold
Interests and Joint Escrow Instructions for Craneway
Property.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: At Closing, City will (i) pay the title and escrow closing costs, and will (ii) receive $80,000 from the donor. City will have future ownership responsibility for the repair and maintenance of the Craneway Property.
In addition to these immediate closing-related costs, the preliminary General Fund impact, assuming no revenue,
is estimated in present-value terms at $1.3 million to $2.5 million annually. This reflects anticipated operating and maintenance costs required to support City ongoing
responsibility of the facility, including some, but not all, of the projected long-term capital needs.
The annual estimate does not include the full
approximately $12.7 million in long-term capital
requirements identified through the City’s due-diligence assessments. Only a portion of these capital obligations is reflected in the annual cost range, and the remaining unfunded needs would require separate future
appropriations.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:
The Ground Lease was assigned in June 2022 to Orton
Entertainment, LLC (“Orton”). March 26, 2024 Council
considered compliance issues related to Orton use of
pickleball in the Pavilion. On June 24, 2025, Council
considered Orton offer to end lease 30 years early and
make donation to City AS-IS. November 28, 2025 Council
approved staff recommendation to retain RDH Building
and spend $169,500 to do a pre-turnover inspection of the facility.
STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:
The City Council is being asked to approve a Donation
Agreement pursuant to which Orton Entertainment, LLC
(“Donor”) will donate to the City certain leasehold
interests associated with property located at 1414–1422 Harbor Way South (Ford Point area), along with related
personal property and a cash contribution of $80,000 to help pay for first year operations. If approved, the escrow would open within days and close by May 1.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
ADOPT a resolution approving a Donation Agreement
between the City of Richmond and Orton Entertainment,
LLC for the donation of said leasehold interests and
related personal property located at 1414–1422 Harbor
Way South, and authorizing the Mayor or designee to
execute the Agreement and all necessary documents,
including escrow instructions, and to take all actions
necessary to complete the transaction – Special Counsel, Dave Aleshire (949) 223-1170.
BACKGROUND:
Ford Assembly produced 49,000 vehicles during WWII and continued as auto assembly plant until 1956. Thereafter, it was operated until 1976 when it was left abandoned. It was damaged during the 1989 Loma Prieta 7.2 earthquake and became a derelict building which was red-tagged by 2000.
As a redevelopment project and with grant funds, almost $20M was generated to revitalize Property. A Public Trust Easement was created through a 2004 Settlement Agreement by the City, Redevelopment (“RDA”), and State. The Disposition and Development Agreement (“DDA”) in 2003 between RDA and Orton Development. RDA agreed to lease Property subject to Public Trust.
The 2024 Ground Lease entered with Ford Point was assigned to Orton Entertainment LLC in June 2022. Rent was $1 per year for 55 years, but with an 522
April 21, 2026
evergreen clause. The justification for write-down was investment for repair and restoration of property. The price exceeded the reuse value.
DISCUSSION:
A. CRANEWAY PROPERTY:
The Craneway property is comprised of assessor parcels: (i) APN 560 -181-114 (“Craneway Building Parcel”); and (ii) APN 560-181-115 which is a portion of the State Tide Land depicted below (“ Submerged Water Parcel ”). The Craneway Building Parcel and Submerged Water Parcel are sometimes jointly referre d to herein as the “Craneway Property.”
Fee Ownership – The fee ownership of the Craneway Property is currently vested in the City of Richmond having been transferred to the City from the Richmond Successor Agency (“ SA”) in accordance with the L ong Range Property Management Plan subject to the Ground Leases (defined below) at no cost because the terms of the Ground Leases made the value of the underlying property negligible.
The Craneway Property is subject to the following which impact uses:
a Public Trust Easement.
BCDC.
Ground Leases - The Craneway Property is subject to two Ground Leases:
one for each of the Craneway Building Parcel and the Submerged Water Parcel. The Ground Leases (each dated 2004) were part of the original Disposition and Development Agreement with Orton Developmen t in 2003 which made $20M in renovations. Orton Development completed the required work under the DDA and transferred the ground leasehold interests to Orton Entertainment LLC (“Orton”) in 2022.
Primary ground Lease terms:
Term: 55 years with evergreen extensions.
APN 560-181-114

April 21, 2026
Rent: $1 per year.
Auxiliary Lease: Concurrently with the Ground Leases, Orton executed that certain Auxiliary Lease with MC MP Ford Point Realty, LLC (owner of the adjacent property) (hereinafter referred to as “ Madison”) to lease (i) the adjacent facility containing the restrooms, kitchen, storage area, etc. together with (ii) the right to use adjacent common areas which include parking, etc. (“Madison Common Areas”).
Auxiliary Lease terms:
Tied to Ground Leas es: The Auxiliary Lease can be transferred concurrently with the Ground Leases without landlord consent. Term: Evergreen provision. However, termination of the Ground Leases will automatically terminate the Auxiliary Lease. Accordingly, the Ground Leases must remain in effect.
Rent: $1 per year.
Madison CAM Charges (2 levels):
Auxiliary lease property (2026 estimate: $32,000)
Madison Common Areas (2026 estimate: $65,000)
Critical Importance of Auxiliary Lease to Ground Leases:
Without the Auxiliary Lease, the Craneway Property has no restrooms, no kitchen, etc. and cannot use the Madison Common Areas. Accordingly the Auxiliary Lease must be assigned to the City concurrently with the Ground Leases.
B. DUE DILIGENCE.
Auxiliary
Lease
Property
524
April 21, 2026
1. PHYSICAL INSPECTIONS. Orton has allowed the City and its consultants with access to the Craneway Property. Orton has provided the following documents:
Phase I Environmental Site Assessment issued by Geologica dated February 9, 2016. The summary is attached as Attachment 3. Letter Report – Limited Groundwater Investigation issued by Geologica dated March 31, 2016. The summary is attached as Attachment 4.
The City has conducted extensive due diligence using RDH retained on 11/28/2025, to investigate the Property. The RDH report suggested that over the coming 10 years, as much as $12M of physical maintenance projects are recommended. The summary of those costs is included as Attachment 4. It was in view of these costs that Orton was persuaded to contribute $80,000 toward those expenses, but he has not agreed to contribute any further.
2. LAWSUIT. Orton is currently defending a lawsuit filed against Orton by the prior pickleball operator PB Development Group, Inc. (“ Pickleball Lawsuit ”). The Pickleball Lawsuit is filed personally against Orton and not the Craneway Property.
Orton has agreed to indemnify the City with respect to the Pickleball Lawsuit.
3. DOCK REMOVAL. A dock which had fallen into disrepair was a part of the Property. Orton removed the dock without BCDC permission. However, the City has received a letter from BCDC indicating it has no issues with the dock removal.
Orton has agreed to indemnify the City with respect to the Dock Removal.
C. DONATION AGREEMENT: Orton has been negotiating with the City to donate the Craneway Property since June of 2025.
The terms of the Donation Agreement (Attachment 2) are summarized as follows:
Interests Donated:
Leasehold Assignments: Both the Ground Leases and the Auxiliary Lease will be assigned to City (“ Leasehold Interests”). As the City owns the fee interest, the assignments provide that the fee interest and the Ground Leasehold interests will not merge as it is important that the Auxiliary Lease to remain in effect.
Ground Lease Assignment: The Ground Lease assignments will provide (i) that there is no merger of the fee interest with the ground leasehold interests; and (ii) City will assume liability for requirements under the Ground Leases after the Closing.
Auxiliary Lease Assignment: Madison has agreed to release Orton of liability under the Auxiliary Lease Assignment which Madison will execute and also assure the City that the Auxil iary Lease Assignment is in full force and effect without any defaults (“Auxiliary Lease Assignment”).
525
April 21, 2026
Bill of Sale: All applicable personal property will be transferred to the City. AS-IS Condition: The Leasehold Interests are being transferred to the City in AS- IS condition subject limited representations and warranties by Orton. Cash Contribution: At closing, Orton will donated $80,000 to the City through escrow.
Title Insurance : The City will receive an ALTA (non -extended) owner’s title insurance policy insuring the Ground Leasehold interests are vested in the City for with no delinquent real estate taxes, and such exceptions as approved by the City.
The title policy will also include a non -merger end orsement insuring that the leasehold interests are not merged into the fee interest held by the City. The amount of coverage will be $5M which is the estimated value of the Leasehold Interests.
Representations and Warranties: Orton is providing representat ions and warranties to the City including, among other matters and to the best of Orton’s knowledge, that there are no leases, subleases; all utilities are in good working order; the Auxiliary Lease is in effect; dock removal complied with the law; there are no hazardous materials; no threatened lawsuits except the PB Lawsuit; no other contracts which will survive the closing, etc. The representations and warranties survive for 2 years after the closing.
Closing: On or before May 1, 2026.
Conditions to Closing:
Title insurance policy is issued to the City.
Madison executes the Auxiliary Lease Assignment.
Costs: Escrow and title insurance costs are to be paid by the City.
D. EVALUATION OF FISCAL IMPACT OF OPERATIONS
Fiscal Impact of Direct City Operation
The City Council has not made any decisions about how it would operate the facility, but is interested in an event center. It has had preliminary discussions with event promoters. Staff has also had SCI Consulting Group (Attachment 6) evaluate four operational scenarios, all of which are projected to require substantial annual subsidy :
Non-Operation (Mothball): -$600,000 per year
Special Event Venue: -$930,000 per year
Business/Technical Exposition Center: -$731,000 per year (smallest deficit)
526
April 21, 2026
Recreation Complex: -$1,673,300 per year including $390,000 startup All scenarios require specialized staffing, expanded operational capacity, and rapid decision-making not aligned with municipal processes. Indirect municipal overhead (HR, Legal, IT, Finance) would add an additional 15–25% to costs Operator-based models remain the most fiscally responsible approach following donation.
Land Econ Group Economic Analysis
Because the renovation and operating cost to sustain public use of the building could be a significant burden on the City’s General Fund, City staff also requested that Land Econ Group (LEG) develop and analyze reuse concepts that satisfy the criteria of public use and minimize the financial burden on the City. This report explores the reuse alternatives and their financial implications on the City of Richmond. (Attachment 7) E. Operations and Reasons for Taking over the Lease
Under the Trust, use restrictions, uses are limited as follows: overnight accommodation, restaurants and cafes, water industry, museums regarding waterfront history, visitor- serving retail, boating, and ferry.
In fact, during Orton’s prior operations, there was a period where he was focusing on events and a number of very successful events were held. He explained that ultimately the challenges and costs were significant, and he didn't get sufficient assistance. He did suggest that the City as a public agency would be free from some of the tax burden of a private operator, and could operate less expensively than he can.
The Council intent is to focus on developing the Pavilion as a significant regional venue.
To do this expertly, requires a professional event promotor. The City has made contact with several possible candidates, but ultimately this effort has not been on the same track as finalizing the Donation Agreement. This is intended to be a significant effort after the facility is acquired. Mr. Orton who initiated the Donation discussion as the Council's summer recess started and hoped to conclude it by the end of last year, has taken the position that the discussions can not be further continued indefinitely.
Although Orton did successfully operated the property before COVID making $100- 200K per year, he reports, he has not been successful in recent years. Moreover, the City's due diligence reveals significant long-term maintenance costs to keep the Pavilion up, and the City used consultant SCS to look at different operation scenarios and estimated that even leaving it empty could cost $600K annually. Orton accordingly has found a back up entity to receive the donation. He doesn't identify the entity and only tells us it is not an event vendor but a "marine use". Under the Ground Lease, Orton has the right to assign the lease without the landlord's approval, and the assignee has the obligation to operate under the terms of the Ground Lease and to keep the Property in good condition and repair.
527
April 21, 2026
Mr. Orton as an operator of such entertainment venues in the Bay Area, also took the position that this is really the City of Richmond’s most prime location for such a facility.
The view of the Bay from the Pavilion is spectacular. He comments that the Rosie the Riveter venue was originally scheduled for 15,000 visitors annually, but is now up to 60,000, and the Bay Ferry docks here as well connecting to the rest of the Bay. The key issue is to get enough visitors that restaurant and commercial facilities are attracted— which could then bring other attractions. The City needs to expose the site and its vision around the region and Bay Area.
Due diligence has been performed, delaying this transaction, and has shown significant costs to the operation of the Pavilion as a special event venue, but without the City involvement such a use is unlikely.
If the City wishes to realize this vision, it should accept the donation. We are informed if this does not happen tonight, Mr. Orton intends to withdraw the offer and proceed to his next option where the board has already met to accept the donation.

1. Introduction
RDH Building Science Inc. (RDH) was
retained by
City of Richmond
to perform a building enclosure condition assessment of the
Craneway Pavilion
located at
1414 Harbour Way
in
Richmond
,
CA
. This report
documents our observations and findings
pertaining to the current condition of the building enclosure ,
mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems, structural systems, accessibility, and environmental
conditions
. The purpose of this assessment was to evaluate the current condition of the building and sys
tems
, to identify conditions requiring repair or
deferred
maintenance
,
and to
provide
repair
and
rehabilitation options
where warranted.
1.1. Building History
Constructed in the early 1930s as part of the Ford Motor Company Assembly Plant, the Craneway Pavilion is a prominent historic industrial structure situated along the Richmond waterfront. The building is defined by its large -
scale steel structure,
expansiv
e interior volume, and extensive areas of glazing characteristic of early 20th -
century industrial architecture. Since its
adaptive reuse as a public assembly and event venue, the Pavilion has continued to serve a high -
occupancy, high
-
intensity
program, pla
cing significant demands on both original and upgraded building systems .
1.2. Building Description and Project Background
The
Craneway Pavilion
building enclosure consists of a combination of glazed curtain wall systems, metal -
framed windows,
and opaque wall assemblies, providing extensive daylighting and visual connection to the surrounding waterfront and landscape. The roof system comprises
steep and
low
-
slope roofing supported by steel framing, with integrated skylights and clerestory glazing in select areas. Exterior materials and assemblies reflect a mix of original construction and subsequent modifications associated
wit
h previous seismic events and adaptive reuse.
We also understand that a previous building retrofit
was completed between
2005
-
2008, which included some localized façade and roof rehabilitation, as well as a seismic retrofit.
Given the age of the facility, this assessment identifies observed repair and upgrade needs and provides order -
of
-
magnitude
cost estimates to assist with planning and budgeting. Recommended actions are organized by priority and anticipated timeframe, inclu
ding immediate needs, near
-
term items (0
–
1 years), short
-
term items (1
–
2 years), mid
-
term items (2
–
5 years),
and long
-
term considerations (5
–
10 years). The intent of this report is to provide a practical, decision -
oriented framework to
help stakeholders pr
ioritize investments, manage risk, and support the continued safe, functional, and sustainable operation of the Craneway Pavilion
, given the City of Richmond is
taking ownership of the building again after a prior leaser’s rental term is complete
.
We also have identified areas where further investigation or study is recommended to plan for future repairs.

2. Building Enclosure & Roof
RDH performed site visit on
January
8,
202
6 , to
review
the condition of the
Craneway Pavillion b
uilding from the ground,
the
roof
, from the interior
.
The restaurant and warehouse/office space north of the Pavillion building were not included in our review.
We provide a summary of the building enclosure systems, condition of the system, and recommendations for repair in
the sections below.
2.1. Exterior Façade
2.1.1. Brick Masonry
Description
The exterior wall system consists of multi
-
wythe brick masonry walls infilled between
the
steel
-
framed primary structur
e
(
Figure
1 )
. The brick masonry is original to the building’s
original
construction in 1931
and exists
along the west elevation, along
the south elevation below the roof line, along the east elevation below the window line ,
and at the southeast corner of the
building.
The masonry assembly is configured as a mass wall system and does not incorporate a dedicated cavity drainage plane or concealed water
-
resistive barrier.
Wate
r resistance is provided primarily through the thickness of the masonry units, mortar joints, and exterior surface detailing. The steel primary structure provides vertical and lateral support for the masonry inf ill,
with steel lintels spanning above window
and door openings.
The masonry interfaces with glazing and door infill systems at perimeter joint
s, and material transitions occur at roof and parapet conditions.
The wall assembly does not include
thermal insulation
, although t
here are l
imited areas of interior
-
applied acoustic insulation
at select locations.
The brick masonry has
undergone
previous repair and rehabilitation following damage associated with the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake
. The damage to the brick primarily
occurred
above the
roof
line on the south elevation
.
At the south elevation
the
parapet
has been reconstructed
using
a
thin brick
-
faced glass fiber reinforced concrete (
FRP
) panel.
We also understand that
a
comprehensive
building
rehabilitation was performed in 2008, and evidence of miscellaneous localized brick masonry
repair
/replacement
and lintel repair
is present across multiple elevations.
Condition
The brick masonry is generally in fair condition, with
areas of
localized distress.
We made the following observations related to
the condition of the brick masonry:
→
M
issing brick units were identified at
isolated
locations across the
west, south, and east
elevations
(
Figure
2 )
.
→
Mortar joints are
pointed to be
recessed
from
the face of the brick
.
Mortar is in generally good condition where reviewed,
with some localized areas where it is
excessively
recessed
(
Figure
3 )
.
→
I
ndividual brick units and mortar joints
are cracked
at
several
locations
, including near some penetrating steel elements
(
Figure
4 )
and along a vertical column
approximately 8
-
10 feet in length above grade on the west elevation
.
The vertical
cracking and out
-
of
-
plane displacement at this location appears to be likely a result of
oxide jacking due to corrosion of
steel behind the brick (
Figure
5 ).
We also observed vertical cracking
at the
corner
interface between the masonry wall and
the panelized
FRP
parapet system at the south elevation, suggesting movement -
related stress at this transition
(
Figure
6 &
Figure
7 )
.
See further discussion
related to this condition
in Section 2.1.2.
→
Sealant
is failing
at the vertical joint between the brick masonry and the adjacent building extension
along the west
elevation, including loss of adhesion and open joints

Steel lintels above window openings exhibit varying degrees of corrosion and section loss, particularly along the south elevation.
It is
also
evident that corrosion has been painted over
in the past
(
Figure

. Corrosion of lintels generally
extends to the interior side of the window openings
(
Figure
10 )
.
→
Sagging
/deflection
of lintels
is occurring
above the large, narrow window bays at the west
and east
elevation
s
(
Figure
11 )
.
There are localized cracks in the bricks above the window heads , and evidence that brick replacement may have occurred as part of the previous 2008 repair project.
→
Interior observations identified localized detachment and displacement of acoustic insulation, with sections of insulation observed to be falling away from the interior wall surfaces.
We did not observe
obvious
signs of
interior staining, active
leakage, or moisture
-
related finish deterioration
related to the brick masonry walls
at the time of
our
site visit
.
→
At the west elevation, t
he brick wall extends above the roof surface and is capped with a metal parapet cap. There are lateral braces that tie the parapet back to the roof
structure and
are detailed with roofing membrane where they penetrate through the metal roof
, and a metal flashing at the base of the brick parapet wall interface with the metal roof (
Figure
12 )
.
There were no obvious deficiencies related to the brick assembly at these locations.

2.1.2. Thin-Brick over Fiberglass Reinforced Panel (FRP) Description
The south elevation parapets consist of thin
-
brick cladding installed over
a pre
-
fabricated
fiberglass
reinforced panel (
FRP
)
to
a steel frame system
. The system
appears to have been
installed as part of a rehabilitation effort following the collapse of the original brick masonry parapet during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. The FRP
parapet panels are located above the roof

RDH BUILDING SCIENCE INC. | CRANEWA Y PA VILION | FEBRUARY 19, 2026 7 |
line along the south elevation and function as a non
-
load bearing
, exterior architectural feature
(
Figure
13 )
.
We understand that
the panelized assembly was installed as part of the 2008 retrofit project.
The assembly consists of
FRP
panels supported by a hollow structural section (HSS) steel framing system, with metal connections anchored to the building’s primary steel structure (
Figure
14 &
Figure
15 )
. Thin brick units are adhered to the
exterior face of the
FRP
panels to provide the appearance of a traditional masonry parapet.
The system is configured as a
barrier
assembly
with
reveals at panel joints
that overlap. The panel system
and does not form
part of the building’s primary air or water barrier
where extending above the roof deck
(
Figure
16 )
. The panels are exterior
of
the roof membrane, which ties into the top of the brick masonry mass
wall
and steel
below
the parapet
.
There is a
continuous
gap
between the bottom of the
FRP
panels and the top of the brick masonry
,
and windows on the south elevation
,
to allow for
drainage and separation between the two systems
(
Figure
17 ).
Key transitions occur at the southeast and southwest corners where the panelized
parapets interface with adjacent brick
masonry
mass wall parapets
, as well as at roof
-
level penetrations and terminations. The performance of the system relies on sealant joints and detailing at these interfaces to manage water exposure and accommodate differential movement between the
FRP
panels and the adjacent masonry construction.
Condition
The thin
-
brick over
FRP
panelized frame
system
at the parapet
is generally in fair condition
with some localized repairs
required:
→
Cracking was observed at the joints between the
FRP
parapet panels and the adjacent brick masonry parapets at both the southwest and southeast corners of the south elevation
(
Figure
6 &
Figure
7 )
. These cracks are
likely the result of
insufficient
separation
and
differential
movement
between the two wall systems
at the corner transitions.
→
Localized
failure of
adhered thin brick units
is occurring
at
several
locations along the south elevation, with
multiple
brick
units missing from the face of the
FRP
panels
(
Figure
18 ).
There is evidence of the
remaining
adhesive/mortar used to
adhere the
brick units on the exterior face of the
panel
where
thin brick units are missing
(
Figure
19 )
.
→
We observed minor limited
areas
surface
corrosion on the
panel
s’ galvanized
steel
frame
(
Figure
20 )
.
→
The gap
between the bottom of the panels and the
brick mass wall and window systems on the south elevation appears to
provide a drainage and separation space between the parapet panels and the brick masonry below.
We could not fully
verify the
continuity and watertightness of the roof membrane tie

in
at this interface due to limited access and visibility
however, we did not see signs of water intrusion on the interior of the building at this location .

2.1.3. Stone Elements
Description
Natural
stone elements are incorporated into the exterior masonry wall system at window openings and at the base of wall on
select elevations
(
Figure
21 )
.
Stone
sills are installed at all punched brick window openings and extend from the exterior face of the wall to the interior
side of the
window assemblies. These elements are
likely
original to the building’s
construction in
1931.
A band of granite stone units
are installed at the base of the masonry walls along the west elevation and at the west and east corners of the south elevation. The granite
sits
on a slab
-
on
-
grade ledge and forms the base transition between the vertical masonry wall system and adjacent grade
-
level paving.
The
stone
and granite elements function as part of a mass wall assembly and do not appear to
incorporate a dedicated
drainage plane, concealed flashing, or continuous water -
resistive barrier. Weather resistance is provided through the density of the stone materials, mortar joints, and surface detailing. The stone elements interface with adjacent brick masonry, window
assemblies, and grade
-
level paving, and rely on these transitions to manage water exposure and accommodate minor differential movement within the wall
system.
Condition
The stone and granite elements are generally in
fair to good
condition
for their age.
We observed m
inor areas of c
racking
,
localized chipping
, and spalling
at several stone sills and granite units,
which could be due to
long
-
term exposure and
weathering or impact
.
At some locations, it is evident that a sealant or epoxy product has been previously
used to fill cracks
(
Figure
22 ).
→
At some
granite
spall locations
corrosion staining is evident, suggesting the presence of mechanical anchorage/reinforcement attaching the stone units to the primary structure (
Figure
23 )
.
Continued corrosion of the steel
anchorage
may cause spalling and failure of the anchorage.
→
Mortar joints between adjacent stone units exhibit deterioration and localized deterioration and
cracking
, particularly at
horizontal
skyward facing
joints
,
at interfaces with adjacent brick masonry
,
and where extending below window frames
(
Figure
24 )
.
These conditions may increase the potential for moisture entry at localized areas under wind -
driven rain
events.

We recommend
injecting cracks through the stone elements with a suitable cementitious grout injection
to prevent further water ingress and associated future deterioration of the stone elements.

At
spalled areas,
remove any loose material and patch with a compatible repair material , ensuring patch
material is matched to the
finish of the
granite and stone
sill
elements appropriately

2.1.4. Gunite Walls
Description
The east elevation incorporates painted gunite wall
cladding
above
the steel window frames (
Figure
25 )
.
Per the original
1931
architectural drawings provided, t
he gunite elements consist of approximately 2
-
inch
-
thick panels
over 4” deep steel framing
supported by the building’s primary steel structural system , on both sides of the parapet on the east elevation
.
The panels form a continuous exterior wall surface and are configured as a face -
sealed, “perfect barrier” assembly intended
to resist bulk water penetration at the exterior surface .
The
refore, the
wall assembly does not incorporate a dedicated cavity
566
February 19, 2025
RDH BUILDING SCIENCE INC. | CRANEWA Y PA VILION | FEBRUARY 19, 2026 9 |
drainage plane or concealed water
-
resistive barrier. Weather resistance and air control are provided by the continuity of the gunite surface and the applied exterior coating.
We understand that a
coustic insulation panels were added at interior locations as part of a
previous
rehabilitation effort, concealing the interior face of the gunite walls.
Key interface conditions occur at window perimeters, roof -
to
-
wall transitions, and at the junctions between the gunite panels and adjacent brick masonry construction. These transitions rely on exterior
surface
-
applied sealants and coatings to maintain
continuity of the water and air barrier functions across dissimilar materials and structural elements.
Condition
The gunite wall system is generally in fair condition, with localized cracking observed at several
locations along the east
elevation
(
Figure
26 )
. The cracks appear consistent with long
-
term material aging, environmental exposure, and differential movement between the gunite panels and the supporting steel structure or adjacent wall systems.
We also observed locations
on the
roof side of the parapet where the sealant joint between the gunite wall and adjacent brick wall is deteriorated ( Figure
27 ).
There
were
no
interior
indications
of water intrusion, moisture
-
related damage, or finish deterioration at the time of the assessment.
However
, we
note t
he presence of interior acoustic insulation panels limits visibility of the interior face of the gunite walls, and concealed conditions could not be
verified.
Cracking at the exterior surface
increase
s the
risk
for localized
water entry under sustained or wind
-
driven rain conditions.
Recommendations
RECOMMENDATION
BE-6
→
(2
-
5 Year Repair Horizon) We recommend routing and sealing the cracks in the gunite wall with a compatible
exterior paintable
sealant or epoxy
.
Additionally, replace failing sealant joints between the gunite wall and adjacent mass masonry walls at interfaces
.
2.1.5. Windows and Doors
Description
Window and door assemblies are installed across the
south, east, and west
elevations and are original to the building’s
construction in 1931, with localized modifications. The primary window system consists of steel -
frame
s
,
with small
single
-
pane
tempered safety glass
in some locations
separated by a grid of muntins
; which likely indicates localized glass
replacement in the past
(
Figure
28 &
Figure
29 )
.
These original window systems are non
-
thermally
-
broken and use monolithic
glass,
meaning they will experience significant heat loss/gain under various exterior conditions, and certainly are
at risk of
experiencing condensation when humid air contacts the cold frame/glass surfaces under certain conditions.
We also
understand that a comprehensive building rehabilitation was performed in 2008, and evidence of steel frame repair, rehabilitation, and painting is present across multiple elevations as well as localized glass replacement.
At select Level 1 locations along the south elevation,
thicker
vision glass
has
been installed as
butt
-
glazed
infill replacements
at the
ground level
windowpanes
, likely as part of the 2008 rehabilitation project.
(
Figure
30 )
.
There are also locations where
original steel overhead doors exist and have been permanently fixed and painted in place. There are original wooden door frames/fixtures at some locations as well.
The window and door frames are attached directly to the building’s primary metal structural system and are set within punched openings in the surrounding masonry wall assemblies. The systems are configured as face -
sealed, “perfect barrier”
assemblies, rely
ing on the integrity of the framing members, glazing, and perimeter sealant and mortar joints to resist bulk water and air infiltration. The assemblies do not incorporate a dedicated internal drainage path or pressure -
equalized cavity.
567
February 19, 2025
RDH BUILDING SCIENCE INC. | CRANEWA Y PA VILION | FEBRUARY 19, 2026 10 |
Key interface conditions occur at the perimeter of the window and door frames where they transition to adjacent brick masonry, cast stone sills, and grade
-
level conditions at Level 1. At
-
grade window openings interface with curbs
raising the
systems above the adjacent
paving
, particularly on the south elevation where newer vision glazing has been installed .
Condition
The window and door assemblies are generally in
poor to
fair
condition
for their age
.
Cracked
or shattered
glazing was
observed at isolated window pane
locations (
Figure
31 )
.
→
At Level 1
south elevation
, window sill
metal

s
are
back
-
sloped
above the
concrete curbs
, which likely
contribute to
water pooling at interior floor surfaces
around these interfaces
(
Figure
32 &
Figure
33 )
.
Steel door frame components and
sealant at the
low
-
point of the slope are showing signs of corrosion and cracking.
There are also exposed cold joints
between
the new curb and the adjacent paving,
as well as hairlin
e
cracking through the curb,
which could also be
contributing to the water intrusion observed
(
Figure
34 )
.
We noted significant water and signs of ponding on the interior at these locations.

Gaskets at
many
butt

glazed windows
at Level 1
on the south elevation
are
displaced or deteriorated, reducing the
effectiveness of the

We did not observe any obvious signs of water intrusion or staining related to the displacement of the interior gaskets.
→
Corrosion and surface rust are present on
existing steel
window frames at various locations
(
Figure
36 )
. P
erimeter mortar
joints and sealant at the interface between the steel frames and surrounding brick masonry exhibit cracking, loss of adhesion, and localized separation.
Pain
t failure is present at many locations on windows and doors on various elevations ,
including original wood bucks around openings
and wooden door frames
(

2.1.6. Miscellaneous Steel Elements
Description
Miscellaneous exterior steel elements are present across multiple elevations and consist of architectural and functional components attached to the primary steel structure. These include a painted steel gantry crane rail located along the south elevation,
which serves as a historic and architectural feature, and a fixed access ladder installed along the west elevation.
The
crane rail
penetrate
s
through the exterior brick masonry wall assembly, with
concealed
connections anchored back to the
building’s primary structural frame
(
Figure
42 )
.
The access ladder
is
surface
-
mounted
to the exterior brick
(
Figure
43 )
.
They
both allow
for incidental water to pass behind the element and drain along the exterior wall surface.
Interface conditions occur at penetrations
and attachments
through the brick masonry where the steel elements connect to the underlying structure. These transitions rely on localized sealant
and paint
to limit moisture entry at attachment points.
Condition
→
The gantry crane rail along the south elevation exhibits limited surface
corrosion and
paint
coating deterioration consistent
with long
-
term
UV
exposure to a marine environment
(
Figure
44 )
.
→
The access ladder at the west elevation is severely corroded in areas
with sectional loss
and is no longer in serviceable
condition
(
Figure
45 )
.
It appears that access to the ladder from the roof has been limited and is
no longer intended for use.
→
The
corrosion of steel
elements
is due to
prolonged exposure to
UV and
environmental conditions
including salt

laden air
and exacerbated by lack of regular maintenance and
deterioration of protective
paint
coatings.

2.2. Roofs and Drainage
2.2.1. Steep Sloped Roof
Description
The building incorporates two primary steep
-
sloped roof assemblies: an upper sawtooth roof and a main sloped roof . The
roofs
are separated by a sloped skylight on the north and south sides of the roof ridge . The upper sawtooth roof
appears
to be
original to the 1931 construction, consist
ing
of corrugated transite panels spanning over steel purlins and the primary steel structural frame
(
Figure
46 )
.
Note t
ransite
was widely used
in construction materials
from the 1920s to 1980s and typically
contains asbestos.
Multiple
layers of
surface
-
applied coatings
appear to
have been installed over the transite panels at
various times to provide weather protection and extend service life of the system
(
Figure
47 )
.
The
panels appear to have been
most recently
restored with a fiberglass/asphalt type emulsion and top coated with an acrylic or aluminum -
based roof coating
,
which is likely
at least 10
-
15 years old.
T
he main sloped roof appears to be a replacement
metal panel
system of undetermined age.
The main sloped roof consists of
corrugated metal roofing panels, also spanning over steel purlins and attached to the primary steel structure (
Figure
48 )
.
This
metal panel product also
is installed vertically above the roof surface as a sloped wall -
cladding that transitions to the skylight
assembly.
Construction documents associated with the 2008 rehabilitation identify the main roof structure as an existing corrugated metal deck
, meaning it was likely replaced prior to the 2008 rehabilitation .
Both roof assemblies are configured as face

sealed systems and do not incorporate a dedicated underlayment or concealed drainage plane. Weather resistance is provided primarily by the continuity of the exterior roofing panels, applied coatings, and
surface
-
applied sealants at laps, fasteners, and penetrations. Acoustic insulation panels are installed at the interior side of the roof assemblies.
Key transitions occur at roof

wall and roof
-
to

interfaces
and associated regular maintenance
.
Condition
The steep

sloped roof assemblies are generally in
fair
condition
for their ages
, with systemic deficiencies associated primarily
with interface detailing and aging surface treatments. The applied coatings at the upper sawtooth roof exhibit some signs of
deterioration, including areas of thinning, cracking, and loss of adhesion, reducing their effectiveness as a continuous weathering surface

No significant
deterioration
of the
main roof’s exposed
metal
roofing panels was observed; however, the system’s reliance on face
-
sealed detailing and the absence of a secondary drainage plane increases vulnerability to water intrusion when sealants and flashing degrade
over time
.
We observed
that some fastener penetrations
are corroded and/or
have been
cap

sealed with
sealant
or waterproofing pro
ducts
at select locations
, likely to prevent water ingress
(

.
At
interfaces with brick parapet assemblies on the
east
and

elevations, there is a sheet metal counter
-
flashing that laps
over the metal roof and is
terminated
into
a kerf cut in
the brick parapet wall
, also performing a barrier function
(

Most penetrations are detailed with a liquid

.
However, at some
mechanical penetration
locations
on the interior side
,
we observed
water staining
and potential
signs of
water intrusion
below
, indicating
potentially
compromised watertightness at these interfaces
or associated mechanical
leaks
. In several areas
on the roof
,
the interior of the building was visible through
gaps
around the perimeter of
mechanical
equipment penetrations, indicating discontinuities in the air and water barrier functions. →
The acoustic roof insulation on the interior side of the roof is poorly secured and
detached in many locations across the
building
(
Figure
54 )
.
The observed deficiencies are systemic across the roof areas are expected based on
design limitations inherent to the face
-
sealed approach, aging of coatings and sealants, and limited robustness of penetration detailing under long -
term
environmental
and UV
exposure.

2.2.2. Low Sloped roof
Description
Low
-
slope roof areas are located within the central portions of the upper sawtooth roof assembly and along the north and
south edges
of the main roof. The installation date and original construction details of these roof areas are not confirmed; however, the assembly may have been installed as part of the 2008 rehabilitation project , and appear to be at least 15 years
old
.
The roof system consists of a multi
-
ply bituminous membrane assembly
with granulated surfacing,
installed over an unknown
substrate
(
Figure
55 )
. The roof
areas are
sloped
to drain
east and west
to regularly spaced
internal roof drains, with surface
crickets and localized slope intended to direct water toward the drainage points.
The roof is sloped approximately ¼”
per foot
571
February 19, 2025
RDH BUILDING SCIENCE INC. | CRANEWA Y PA VILION | FEBRUARY 19, 2026 14 |
with localized areas of poor slope.
There are no dedicated overflow drains, however the southern portion of the roof can
overflow behind the
FRP
.
At transitions to the adjacent steep
-
sloped roofing, the low
-
slope membrane extend
s
upward and terminate
s
beneath the
corrugated metal roof panels. At the south elevation, where the roof assembly interfaces with the thin -
brick over
FRP
parapet
system, the membrane transitions to a
black, likely
EPDM
,
membrane that laps down over the exterior masonry wall assembly below
(
Figure
56 )
.
At the base of this transition to the window head below, we observed there is a significantly corroded metal
angle with severe sectional loss, however this steel appears to have been abandoned after the parapet collapse in the Loma Prieta earthquake and no longer a part of the support system for the FRP
parapet frame (
Figure
57 ).
The performance of the low
-
slope roof assembly relies on membrane continuity, proper slope toward drains, and effective termination and lap detailing at penetrations, parapet interfaces, and transitions to adjacent roofing systems.
Condition
The low
-
slope roof assembly is generally in fair condition, with systemic drainage -
related concerns observed. Accumulation
of organic material and localized ponding were observed in several areas in between drains
, indicating limited slope and
reduced drainage
(
Figure
58 -
Figure
60 )
. In multiple locations
,
particularly along the southern edge of the building
, the roof
surface appears to slope slightly back toward the adjacent steep -
sloped roofing rather than consistently toward the internal drains.
No interior leakage associated with these roof areas was observed at the time of the assessment. However, the presence of standing water and organic debris suggests increased risk of accelerated membrane aging and localized deterioration.

Below the
FRP
assembly, we recommend
adding a band of reinforced PMMA liquid flashing that can tuck into the recess and onto the brick wall below the roof line,
at the window head.
2.2.3. Skylights
Description
Skylights are installed within the main roof sawtooth assembly and are supported by the building’s primary steel structural system.
The skylights do not appear to be original
and the
exact installation date is not confirmed; however, 2008 renovation drawings reference
existing
glass, suggesting that the skylight assembl
y was not replaced in 2008. We estimate the system
is
in excess
20 -
30 years old.
The skylights consist of
aluminum
-
framed window assemblies with single
-
pane
, exterior
-
glazed
glass lites
(
Figure
61 )
. The
framing system incorporates internal drainage pathways, including weep openings at the sill and drained vertical
mullion
assemblies, intended to collect and redirect incidental moisture and condensation to the exterior at horizontals
(
Figure
62 )
.
There is an
integral interior condensation gutter
at the sill of the frame
(
Figure
63 )
.
The skylight frames interface directly with the adjacent steep -
sloped roofing system, relying on surface
-
applied
metal
flashing, sealants, to maintain continuity of the
water
barrier functions across the transition
to the corrugated metal panel

The skylight assemblies are generally in fair condition. Minor pitting and aluminum oxide formation
was observed
on the
framing mullions
. No water staining or accumulation was observed within the interior condensation gutters during our review
,
and the weep openings appeared unobstructed at the locations reviewed.
No active interior leakage or moisture

2.2.4. Roof Expansion joint
Description
A roof expansion joint system is installed at both the main roof and upper sawtooth roof areas to accommodate differential movement between adjacent structur
es
and roof assemblies. The system is not original to the 1931 construction and is believed to have been installed as part of a rehabilitation effort, potentially in 2008.
The expansion joint assembly consists of an EPDM bellows system integrated with surface -
applied metal flashing components
(
Figure
65 )
. The joint is configured as a face
-
sealed
barrier
system intended to maintain continuity of the roof’s water and air barrier functions while allowing for thermal and structural movement , and
relies on the integrity of the EPDM bellows, metal
flashing, and sealant at terminations and lap conditions .
The expansion joint interfaces with adjacent steep
-
sloped roofing
panels and skylight assemblies.
Condition
The roof expansion joint system is generally in fair
condition.
We observed m
inor corrosion at metal flashing
and fastener
components, and localized sealant deterioratio
n
at select locations along the EPDM bellows
at joints and seams
.
We also
observed organic growth on the expansion joint material at some locations ( Figure
66 ).
There was no
evidence of active water intrusion, moisture migration, or interior leakage associated with the expansion joint at the time of the assessment. The system appears to be functioning as intended, although the observed sealant and coating deterioration indica
tes early stages of age
and UV
-
related degradation
and potential future water intrusion
.
While current risk
is considered low, continued deterioration may increase the potential for leakage at terminations if not addressed through routine maintenance.

, 202

review
the condition of the
Craneway Pavillion b
uilding
from boat
and by underwater inspection
to review the submerged concrete piers and underslab
conditions
.
3.1. Concrete Piers
Description
The structure is a reinforced concrete waterfront pier situated along the San Francisco Bay shoreline. It comprises a cast
-
in
-
place concrete deck supported by a system of concrete beams, pile caps, and vertical piles (
Figure
67 )
. Portions of
the pile system are located within the tidal zone, subjecting them to regular wet –
dry cycling, chloride exposure, and
intermittent wave impact. Tidal fluctuations in the area cause segments of the piles to remain partially or fully submerged during high tide and exposed during low tide
(
Figure
68 )
. Above the tide line, the exposed concrete surfaces are coated with a black, elastomeric fluid
-
applied membrane. The underside of the suspended slab shows evidence of an asphaltic self
-
adhered membrane previously applied to the concrete. Additional ancill ary components
are affixed along the deck edges
and beneath the deck throughout the site
,
including utility conduits, fender piles, and cleats or other mooring hardware.
Condition
The pier is generally in fair
to poor
condition, with areas of deterioration consistent with a concrete marine structure of its age and environmental exposure. The primary deterioration mechanisms observed include chloride -
induced reinforcement
corrosion, spalling, cracking, and surface abras
ion within the tidal zone.
Concrete pile and pier conditions vary significantly across the site. Deterioration typically occurs through three mechanisms :
→
Physical processes such as wetting
–
drying cycles, erosion, cavitation, and salt crystallization. →
Chemical processes involving dissolved salts, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and sulfates present in seawater. →
Biological activity, including attachment or intrusion by marine organisms such as mollusks, barnacles, and other organic growth.
In general, piles located near the perimeter of the suspended dock exhibit more advanced deterioration compared to those closer to the interior. This is likely due to increased exposure to moisture, sunlight, wave action, and localized turbulence near
the
breakwaters, all of which amplify erosion and corrosion risks. Much of the observed deterioration is concentrated in the tidal zone
-
the region that cycles between exposure and submergence with tidal changes -
where the combination of
chlorides, oxygen av
ailability, mechanical wear, and frequent wet
–
dry cycling accelerates reinforcement corrosion.
Pier conditions were categorized into four condition groups (

Engineering
Systems Command

, as shown
in

based on observed characteristics such as spalling severity, crack patterns, and visible corrosion staining of embedded reinforcing steel.

Concrete Pile Condition Rating Scale

NAVFAC
Approximately
90 %
of the piers were reviewed at low tide over two days at locations accessible by boat , via visual inspection
from a maximum of one column bay away
. Following the visual assessment, we performed physical inspections on a subset of piers with the assistance of a diver. These inspections included close -
range underwater visual review and hammer sounding,
with emphasis on the first three rows of piers fr
om the exterior
(
Figure
69 )
.
A more detailed evaluation was also conducted at selected piers where 12 -
inch
-
wide bands of marine growth were removed at
three elevations: near the tidal zone, midway down the pile toward the seabed, and near the bottom of the pile. Removal of marine grow
th allowed assessment of the underlying concrete surface and any deterioration concealed beneath biological deposits. In general, observed cracking, spalling, and related deterioration were most pronounced in the tidal zone or in the
fully exposed zone,
an
d
in some instances
propagate
d
downward into the fully submerged zone, typically terminating a few feet below the tidal elevation
.
Conditions in the continuously submerged portions of the piers were generally better than those in the tidal zone. This trend is
common for marine concrete structures because, although submerged concrete is exposed to chlorides, deterioration progresses mo
re slowly in the absence of oxygen, wet
–
dry cycling, temperature fluctuations, and significant mechanical abrasion. These factors greatly reduce reinforcement corrosion rates and slow overall deterioration.

3.2. Concrete Deck, Beams, and Pile Caps
Description
The reinforced
-
concrete waterfront pier consists of a cast
-
in
-
place concrete deck supported by a system of concrete beams, pile caps, and vertical piles.
The concrete deck is a f
lat slab
supported by
longitudinal
and transverse concrete beams that are
supported by
thickened
pile caps
over each pile
.
Condition
The underside of the deck slab, beams, and pile caps exhibits widespread concrete deterioration and reinforcement corrosion.
Observed conditions include:
→
Extensive delamination across large areas, with hollow
-
sounding zones identified during hammer sounding and several locations where material detached upon light contact.
→
Active spalling and significant underside slab deterioration, including multiple areas several feet in diameter (
Figure
80 &
Figure
81 ).
Exposed reinforcing steel shows moderate to heavy corrosion, with localized sectional loss measuring up to 3 –
4 inches in depth. Where spalling has occurred, remaining concrete cover is minimal. Based on visual observations, we estimate that
approximately
40 % of the underside of the suspended slab will require some level of concrete spall repair. →
Widespread cracking, including longitudinal cracking in areas with concentrated reinforcement, particularly near interfaces between the slab, pile caps, and beams.
→
Substantial deterioration of pile caps and beams, with the majority exhibiting delamination or spalling (
Figure
82 &
Figure
83 )
. Damage is more pronounced near the perimeter of the structure, generally within three to four rows of piers from the
exterior
(
Figure
84 &
Figure
85 )
.
We estimate that at least 50% of the beams and pile caps will require concrete spall repair.
Overall, the extent and pattern of deterioration are indicative of active reinforcement corrosion, with a high likelihood of additional subsurface delamination beyond what is detectible through visual inspection alone.

4. Summary
Distress and deterioration of the
Craneway Pavilion
is consistent with what would be expected for a building of this construction quality that has experienced prolonged periods of deferred maintenance. Our recommendations are based on a combination of factors including a limited review of available docume ntation, limited information collected at the building
through visual observations, as well as experience and knowledge gained from investigations of many other buildings with similar assemblies and detail
s. This condition assessment report presents conceptual level recommendations with respect to maintenance and repair activities. It is important to understand that these recommendations do not provide a basis for implementing remedial work. Further documen
t review, exploratory openings, site visits and hygrothermal modeling investigations are recommended to better understand the potential retrofit options.
Thank you for the opportunity to review the
Craneway Pavilion

and reinforcement repair
For Minor Defect (MN) and Moderate Defect (MD) categories: We recommend performing epoxy injection of any non-moving cracks with a 100 percent solid, 100 percent reactive epoxy with low curing shrinkage, tested to cure underwater and bond to water filled saturated cracks in salt water.
For any minor delamination or spalling, loose material should be removed down to sound concrete and behind any reinforcing steel a minimum of one-inch, corrosion abrasively removed from reinforcing steel, and any exposed steel coated with a suitable epoxy barrier coating to reduce the risk of corrosion. Consider the inclusion of a suitable anode system to reduce the rate of corrosion of steel reinforcing.
For smaller repairs, hand-patches of Portland/hydraulic cement or epoxy marine- grade mortars should be used that are suitable for the exposure to saltwater.
Given our survey was primarily visual in nature and of a sample of conditions, we recommend performing 100% physical inspection of all piers prior to implementing repairs to determine appropriate repair quantities, and/or carrying a contingency for any additional repair areas.

2.0 DEFICIENCIES AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommendations for remedial work addressing significant building deficiencies are included in this section.
Recommendations are divided into Immediate Work Items and Capital Work Items. The contractual cost threshold for this project is $3,000. Items that do not meet this threshold are excluded from our recommendations, with the exception of material code and life/safety concerns, which are included regardless of cost.
Immediate Work Items: Include items that correct all safety and life threatening building and/or fire code violations; and items that, if left unrepaired over the next year, would result in serious damage to the building or its content. These items should be undertaken on a priority basis taking precedence over routine preventive maintenance work.
Capital Work Items: Include items that are customarily repaired or replaced over several years due to economic considerations (e.g. paving, roofs, appliances), items which are currently in acceptable condition but will reach or exceed their useful service life during the term, and items that are periodic in nature but not considered normal maintenance (e.g. pavement seal coating, painting). These estimates are generally based on industry-accepted life spans for these systems unless there are mitigating circumstances.
Qualifications: Per ASTM E2018-24, opinions of cost should only be construed as preliminary, order of magnitude budgets. Actual costs will likely vary to some degree from the opinions of costs provided herein depending on such matters as type and design of suggested remedy, quality of materials and installation, manufacturer and type of equipment or system selected, field conditions, whether a physical deficiency is repaired or replaced in whole, phasing of the work (if applicable), quality of contractor, quality of project management exercised, market conditions including tariffs, supply chain constraints related to natural disasters, pandemics, and conflicts, whether competitive pricing is solicited, and other factors. Opinions of cost are typically based upon limited quantity take-offs and a unit pricing method to arrive at line-item totals. Unit prices are based upon historical data compiled by Marx Okubo and in no way imply that bids were received from trade subcontractors. Where deemed appropriate, Marx Okubo includes design fees and costs for supporting activities that may be required to perform the work (e.g. erection and dismantling of scaffold, temporary shoring, etc.). No bid documents or corrective drawings were produced. In identifying issues and determining potential costs, it is not the intent of this firm to assume any part of the design responsibility for potential improvements, but rather to report our findings to the client to whom this report is addressed.

3 Remove or repair the door to the abandoned safety switch enclosure located on the west wall of the Craneway Pavilion. The unlocked door is only held on by one hinge and almost fell off when opened, presenting a safety hazard. 1 EA $500.00 100% $500 Cost represents a minimum trip charge. If a City of Richmond employee can perform the work, then there would be no cost. Removal is preferred, but if the enclosure is deemed historic and must remain, then the door should be repaired and locked.

6.0 MECHANICAL/ELECTRICAL/PLUMBING
6.1 HEATING, VENTILATION, AND AIR CONDITIONING (HVAC)
Description: No mechanical cooling is provided to the building. Operable windows provide cooling. Heating is provided by ten ceiling-hung, natural gas-fired, indirect-fired unit heaters manufactured by Reznor. Due to their mounting height and the lack of an available personnel lift, Marx Okubo was unable to access these units to gather nameplate information. However, similar heaters from the same manufacturer were installed in another portion of the Main Building, and these units had rated heat inputs of 250,000 Btu/h. Marx Okubo has assumed that the heaters serving the Craneway Pavilion have the same capacity of 250,000 Btu/h.
The heaters are mounted along the north wall of the building, and supply air is discharged towards the south wall.
Controls: The unit heaters are controlled by stand-alone analog thermostats.
Ventilation: Operable windows and doors provide natural ventilation. Four roof-mounted, constant-speed, belt-driven down-blast centrifugal fans manufactured by Greenheck provide general exhaust for the main open area. The actual airflow ratings of these fans are unknown because the design that installed this system was not available, and airflow is dependent on the speed of the fan and the pressure of the ductwork connected to the fan system, but the air flow ratings from the manufacturer range from a minimum of approximately 5,000 cubic feet per minute (CFM) to a maximum of approximately 18,000 CFM.
The service kitchen for the Craneway Pavilion is provided with an exhaust hood for the automatic dishwasher, which is connected to an upblast-type centrifugal ventilator mounted on the roof of a small tower that projects up from the roof over the Main Building. This fan was manufactured by Emerson. The actual airflow rating of this fan is unknown, but it has a maximum airflow rating of approximately 1,200 CFM.
Makeup air is ducted into the kitchen and restrooms, and is believed to be provided by a centrifugal outside air supply fan mounted on the same roof as the exhaust fan.
The restrooms are provided with exhaust fans that discharge through the roof.
Age: Except as noted, the HVAC equipment is generally original with some component replacement as needed and is believed to be approximately 22 years old.
Maintenance: The previous tenant was reportedly responsible for maintaining the HVAC systems; however, no information was provided regarding their practices, and the quality of their maintenance program is unknown.
CRANEWAY PAVILION
Richmond, California
17 DRAFT
629
Condition: The HVAC systems generally appear to be in good condition. The unit heaters in the Craneway Pavilion appear to be in good condition, but are believed to be approximately 20 years old and are expected to reach the end of their Expected Useful Life (EUL) during the term, and should be replaced at that time. Similarly, the four general exhaust fans appear to be in good condition, but they are expected to need replacement as they reach the end of their EULs.
The kitchen HVAC equipment is in fair condition. The cover of the kitchen exhaust ventilator has been partially removed and is partially held on by one clip and a piece of concrete, and should be properly reattached. This equipment is located on a small tower that rises above the main roof line of the Main Building. It is recommended to replace this equipment early in the term due to age and condition. The rooftop centrifugal supply fan has no air filtration, and a replacement of this fan is recommended to include air filters.
Recommendations: Replace ten unit heaters due to age.
Replace four rooftop general exhaust fans due to age.
Replace the kitchen HVAC on the roof. This should include the replacement of an unfiltered outside air fan with a filtered supply air system and exhaust ventilator.
6.2 PLUMBING
Water Service: The property is provided with a 6" domestic water service with a main utility meter located in a pit in the yard near the northwest area of the Main Building and an above-ground backflow preventer adjacent to Harbour Way South. A separate 2" above-ground backflow preventer was observed at the northeast corner of the adjacent commercial restaurant, adjacent to the Craneway Pavilion, and likely services the restaurant. No landscape irrigation water is provided nor required for the Craneway Pavilion portion of the site.
Two small, point-of-use water filtration systems are provided for the service kitchen.
Domestic Water
Piping:
Where observed, domestic water piping is generally copper tubing.
Water Heating: Domestic hot water for the restrooms is provided by an electric domestic water heater (DWH) with a 38-gallon integral storage tank and 3,500-watt heating elements. Hot water for the service kitchen is provided by an electric DWH with an integral storage tank of unknown capacity. Too much debris was stored in the room to safely access the unit's nameplate; however, it appears to have a tank capacity of approximately 50 to 80 gallons.
CRANEWAY PAVILION

18 DRAFT
630
Plumbing Waste
and Vent Lines:
Where observed, waste and vent lines are generally cast-iron pipes. At select locations, specifically at a ground cleanout on the west side of the Main Building just north of the Craneway Pavilion, pipes observed are polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
Natural Gas
Service:
The property is provided with five separate natural gas services: one at the Main Building's west side, three at the Main Building's east side, and one at the Visitor's Center. Which service feeds the unit heaters in the Craneway Pavilion is not known with certainty, but Marx Okubo believes that the southeastern-most service feeds the restaurant and Craneway Pavilion. This gas service may also feed other HVAC equipment in the Main Building. An automatic seismic shut-off valve was noted.
Age: The main supply and waste lines are believed to have been installed during the major building renovation completed in 2004. The water heater serving the restrooms is approximately 19 years old, and the other DWH is assumed to be about the same age.
Condition: Plumbing systems generally appeared to be in good condition. Both domestic water heaters should be replaced early in the term.
It was reported via complaint by a sublessee of the space to the City that at least one backup, apparently caused by one or more restrooms, was experienced in a kitchen. The complaint did not specify whether the space affected was the service kitchen for the Craneway Pavilion or the restaurant's kitchen. No evidence of this backup was noted during our initial site visit.
At the request of the City of Richmond, Marx Okubo performed an additional investigation to determine which kitchen may have been affected and to assess the underlying cause. On March 20, 2026, Marx Okubo performed a second site visit with a subcontractor and video-scoped portions of the sewer lines accessible through cleanouts (only two sections were successfully videoed due to a lack of cleanouts). In summary, it appears that the restaurant's kitchen experienced a backup caused by a lack of maintenance on the grease trap serving the restaurant.
It is believed that no incidents affected the Craneway Pavilion restrooms and service kitchen. Refer to the Additional Sewer System Investigation Exhibit for more details.
Recommendations: Replace both domestic water heaters.
Perform deferred maintenance, including emptying the restaurant's grease trap, and hydrojet clean all sewer and grease waste lines for the restaurant's kitchen.
Hydrojet cleaning of the sewer lines serving the Craneway Pavilion restrooms and service kitchen should also be performed. Any hydrojet cleaning should be coordinated with the ownership of the Main Building due to the shared utilities.
Additional consideration should be provided for the installation of additional cleanouts for the service kitchen and the east side of the Men's Restroom serving the Craneway Pavilion.

631
6.3 ELECTRICAL
Electrical Service: Three-phase, four-wire electrical service is provided to the site from three pad-mounted, utility-owned transformers located on the east side of the Main Building. Each transformer feeds an exterior termination cabinet, which in turn serves multiple main switchboards within the Main Building. One 120/208-volt and two 277/480-volt services are provided.
One of the 277/480-volt termination cabinets feeds an exterior, 2,500-amp main switchboard that feeds the Craneway Pavilion, the restaurant in the Main Building, and the Visitor's Center.
On-Site Renewable
Electrical Systems:
No renewable energy-generating systems are located directly on the Craneway Pavilion roof. An extensive photovoltaic (PV) system is provided on the Main Building, which serves multiple services within the Main Building. It is believed that none of the energy produced by the PV systems offsets energy use by the Craneway Pavilion.
Electrical
Distribution:
Electrical service is distributed to the Craneway Pavilion by four recessed wall-mounted, 120/208-volt distribution panels, all located in a utility room/office located on the north side of the Craneway Pavilion, with rated capacities of 125 to 225 amps, and main breakers of 100 and 200 amps, respectively. These primarily feed the lights, the kitchen, the HVAC systems, and general receptacles. Panels manufactured by Eaton and Siemens were noted. Two audio/video-specific, 400-amp distribution panels serve the theater lighting and sound systems. One panel is mounted on the west beam crane operator's station, along with A/V equipment, and the other is mounted on the south wall.
Electrical Vehicle
(EV) Charging:
Since there is no parking on the site area apportioned to the Craneway Pavilion, EV charging is not available. EV chargers are provided in several locations in the east parking lot of the Main Building.
Emergency Power: No emergency power is provided.
Lighting System: Lighting in the main open area is provided by high-bay hanging pendant fixtures using LED lamps. Lighting in the restrooms and kitchen is provided by surface-mounted fixtures using linear T8 fluorescent lamps.
Maintenance: Maintenance was reportedly provided by the previous tenant, whose program is unknown. There were no records or other indications that any infrared (IR) thermal scans have been performed.
Condition: The electrical systems generally appear to be in good condition with no significant capital costs anticipated during the term. Marx Okubo recommends performing IR thermal scans of the electrical panels when under load as deferred maintenance. Once the initial service is performed, annual IR scans should be incorporated into the building's operations and maintenance budget.

An old electrical safety switch enclosure that has been abandoned was noted to have a broken cover. When opened, the door almost fell off, which is a safety hazard. If this electrical panel is not deemed to be historic, it should be removed as a potential safety hazard. If it is historical and needs to remain, the door should be repaired and locked to prevent it from being opened by guests attending events.
Recommendations: Perform infrared thermal scans of all electrical panels. They may need to be artificially loaded to obtain meaningful results.
Remove the abandoned electrical safety switch enclosure, or repair and lock the cover door.

7.0 FIRE PROTECTION/LIFE SAFETY
7.1 FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
Description: The Craneway Pavilion is protected by the Main Building's fire alarm system, which is monitored by a Silent Knight 5820XL addressable fire alarm panel. The fire alarm system monitors the fire suppression system for waterflow and valve tamper, smoke and heat detection, and manual pull stations. Fire alarm notification coverage includes horn appliances and strobe visual appliances located throughout the building.
Maintenance and
Inspections:
Updated maintenance and inspection records were unavailable to the City of Richmond since maintenance is the responsibility of the Main Building owner.
Condition: The existing fire alarm panel serving the Main Building has reached the end of its useful life. Although it remains operable, the manufacturer no longer supports the equipment, and there is limited parts availability.
Recommendations: Install a separate fire alarm system serving only the Craneway Pavilion.
Request that the owner of the Main Building provide maintenance records of the fire alarm system, and provide copies of future maintenance service testing and inspection reports, since it is a shared system. A cost-sharing agreement with the Main Building owner may need to be pursued if one does not already exist.
7.2 FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM
Description: The Craneway Pavilion is fully equipped with an automatic sprinkler system served from two sprinkler risers: the west riser is located on the west side of the Craneway Pavilion, and the east riser is located in the restaurant to the northeast of the Craneway Pavilion. The east riser protects the restaurant in addition to protecting the east side of the Craneway Pavilion. The risers are supplied by a site water loop that supports the rest of the sprinkler systems and fire hydrants that protect the Main Building and the entire site. The portion of the loop extends above ground inside the Craneway Pavilion on the north side.
Window sprinklers were observed on both the Craneway Pavilion side and the Main Building side of the windows on the second floor.
Maintenance and
Inspections:
Updated maintenance records were unavailable to the City of Richmond since maintenance is the responsibility of the Main Building owner. Stickers observed on the fire sprinkler risers serving the Craneway Pavilion indicated that the system had its last annual inspection in March 2025, conducted by Bay Alarm, and its last five-year inspection in July 2025, conducted by Cen-Cal Fire Systems, Inc.

8.0 BUILDING EQUIPMENT
8.1 VERTICAL TRANSPORTATION
Although the Main Building is provided with elevators, none serve the Craneway Pavilion.
Two large beam cranes in the space, for which this portion of the building is named, no longer appear to be functional. These appear to have been partially dismantled to prevent accidental usage and appear to have been retained because of their historic nature.
8.2 SECURITY SYSTEMS
Description: Security systems serving the Craneway Pavilion appear to be limited to an automatic burglar alarm manufactured by Bosch with four separate alarm stations. No information on the alarm system monitoring company has been provided.
One video camera was noted in the Craneway Pavilion near the A/V equipment access to the west beam crane. It is unknown whether this is part of a video surveillance system or is an internet camera that is connected to the A/V system.
Condition: The alarm system generally appears to be in good condition, although trouble alarms were noted on the user interface at each station.
Recommendations: The City should contact the security alarm monitoring service to have the trouble alarms investigated. This is presumed to be part of the service of a security monitoring company.
8.3 COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
Description: Telecommunications services for the Craneway Pavilion are provided from a Minimum Point of Entry (MPOE) located in the Main Building.
Condition: The system appears to be in good condition.
Recommendations: Not applicable.

9.0 SUSTAINABILITY
Description: Marx Okubo performed a Baseline sustainability review of the subject project. Through property management and maintenance interviews, as well as our observations through our site walk, we were able to complete our Baseline Sustainability Related Findings checklist, which we have included as an exhibit to this report.
Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems for the Craneway Pavilion are limited to gas-fired unit heaters and exhaust fans, lighting, plumbing fixtures, and two small, localized electric resistance domestic water heaters.
Sustainability measures for the Craneway Pavilion include the installation of light fixtures in the main open area using LED lamps and dual-flush toilets.
Condition: There do not appear to be any electricity, natural gas, or water utility meters for the Craneway Pavilion, and no sub-meters were observed. Usage of the Craneway Pavilion appears to be limited to special events, and many standard sustainability measures likely have longer financial paybacks than would be expected for a building with regular usage.
Recommendations: The following list of potential sustainability measures should be considered for implementation for this building. Further analyses of these items are recommended to be performed through an Energy Audit to determine the economic benefits of these enhancements. The Energy Audit would be essential in determining whether to upgrade the roof insulation when the roof is replaced.
Install submeters to measure the usage of electricity, natural gas, and domestic water of the Craneway Pavilion.
Improve the building insulation levels on the roofs.
Add insulation to the walls.
Implement a "Green" cleaning policy for maintenance and housekeeping.

DRAFT 1
1. DETAILED ACCESSIBILITY REVIEW
A. PROJECT INFORMATION
The subject area under review comprises a portion of a 518,000-square-foot building, featuring a single-story main hall with associated restrooms, kitchen, dining bar, and storage rooms. Based on the information provided, this area does not have a dedicated parking facility and relies on public on-street parking.
Marx Okubo was provided with limited improvement drawings and a list of permit applications for the property. Based on the information provided, the property is a registered historic site, originally constructed in the 1930s as an industrial building and fully renovated in 2008. The assessed area is owned by the City of Richmond and has historically functioned as a public event hall. Most recently, the property was leased for use as a pickleball sports venue and has since been returned to municipal control. The future use of the property has not yet been determined.
B. SITE OBSERVATION
The site visit took place on January 8, 2026, during which time the project site, main hall, restrooms, kitchen, signage, and entry doors were reviewed for the purposes of determining compliance with accessibility requirements. The project observation team was led by Bassamat Bahnasy, CASp, ADAC, LEED AP, Senior Associate of Marx Okubo.
Marx Okubo's staff was accompanied by Michelle Heredia of Orton Development during this review.
C. APPLICABLE CODES AND REGULATIONS
This review is limited to the following codes and standards:
• Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) - 1991 and 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design.
• Chapter 11 of the 2007 Edition of the California Building Code (CBC). • Chapter 11B of the 2025 Edition of the CBC for future renovation.

DRAFT 2
Marx Okubo understands that the property was constructed for first occupancy prior to January 26, 1993, and is owned and operated by the City of Richmond; therefore, it falls under Title II of the ADA. Based on the permits provided, the building underwent renovations in 2008. Therefore, the 1991 ADA Standards for Accessible Design were applicable to the renovated area, along with the 2007 CBC, which was in effect at the time of the renovation.
The project was reviewed against the current building code and the 2010 ADA Standards. The building code would become applicable only in the event of future alterations, while the 2010 ADA Standards would apply only in the event of future alterations or to elements not compliant with, or not addressed by, the 1991 ADA Standards.

2. METHODOLOGY
Under Title II of the ADA, state and local governments must ensure that people with disabilities can access their programs, services, and activities. Therefore, this review was limited to areas where current programs, services, and activities are provided. The review included the main hall and its associated spaces, including restrooms, the dining bar, and exterior access routes serving the reviewed area.
Facilities or buildings located outside the boundaries shown on the attached site plan were outside our scope of review. Refer to the attached site plan for the project boundary and the limits of the reviewed area. In addition, exterior parking and associated routes, maintenance areas, spaces subject to Title I of the ADA, and the commercial kitchen were excluded from this review.
Areas subject to Title I (Employment) of the ADA, including employee work areas such as the commercial kitchen, as well as storage, maintenance, and other property management spaces, are excluded from the scope of this review.
Marx Okubo physically measured a representative sample of floor and ground surfaces, changes in level, turning spaces, clear floor and ground spaces, knee and toe clearances, protruding objects, reach ranges, and operable parts as a part of accessible routes. Standard 2' digital levels, digital measuring devices, and standard tape measures were utilized, and Marx Okubo's accuracy is governed by the limitations of these devices.
Marx Okubo documents non-compliant issues, only, which are typically noted in one location.
Documentation of elements within compliance is outside of the scope of this review. Our findings are attached as an exhibit to this report. The numbering system used to identify non- compliant conditions is determined by the software used to generate this report. Missing or non-sequential numbers do not represent closed or missing issues.
Reviews are limited to spatial configurations and will not include an evaluation of the function of components. The following items are outside the scope of these services: alarms, strobes, lighting levels, telephone TTY operations and magnetic levels, audio decibel levels, accuracy of Braille wording, blocking within walls, slip resistance, and other items that cannot be determined visually. For example, the existence and mounting height of audio/visual alarms was reviewed, but not the features, functionality or characteristics of the strobe or horn.
Where conflicts or discrepancies occur between the requirements of the ADA and code, Marx Okubo based recommendations on the more stringent requirement in order to ensure a wider range of accessible accommodation.

RE: Craneway Pavilion – Addendum 1
Additional Sewer System Investigation - DRAFT
Marx Okubo Job No. 25-5427 (internal project number 00001176)
Dear Tammy Siliznoff:
Background Information:
On February 3, 2026, Marx Okubo conducted a Facility Condition Assessment (FCA) of the Craneway Pavilion at 1414 Harbour Way South, in Richmond, California. The Craneway Pavilion is the southernmost portion of a much larger building, called Ford Point, herein referred to as the Main Building. Marx Okubo’s original scope of work for the FCA included an assessment of building interiors, site improvements (excluding the pier), mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) systems, and fire protection and life safety (FP/LS) systems.
After the FCA report was presented to the City of Richmond (City), the City forwarded a pervious complaint regarding a reported sewer backup affecting one of the kitchens. No visible signs of water damage from backups were noted in the service kitchen area. Neither the affected kitchen nor the date of the incident was identified, and no additional clarifying details were provided to Marx Okubo. The documentation available to Marx Okubo as part of the original FCA did not include any information on the plumbing systems serving the restrooms and service kitchen for the Craneway Pavilion. The City requested additional services to try to determine the physical condition of sewer lines serving the Craneway Pavilion and to gather information on as-built conditions.
Marx Okubo was informed on the date of the first site visit for the FCA that the restaurant adjacent to the Craneway Pavilion was not included in the scope of work. Marx Okubo did not include the restaurant in the scope of work for this additional investigation either; however, after discussing the issue with the Main Building’s on-site engineer, who happened to be present during this additional investigation, and who has a long history with this overall property, we expanded our scope to include an examination of some of the sewer and grease waste lines, and the grease trap serving the restaurant.
