May 26, 2026
DISCUSSION:
Members of the Richmond Police Department (RPD) Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team respond to the Department’s most dangerous and high-risk incidents, including armed barricades, hostage situations, high-risk warrant service, and active threat events. These incidents present an elevated risk of gun violence and other serious hazards that require protective equipment beyond what is issued for standard patrol operations. SWAT rifle-rated ballistic torso plates are designed to protect personnel from higher velocity rifle threats that standard soft body armor is not intended to defeat, reducing the risk of serious injury or death during critical incidents.
Proper rifle-rated ballistic protection also improves officer safety and operational effectiveness during high-risk incidents by allowing SWAT personnel to safely engage in tactical operations while maintaining mobility and response capability. When officers are properly equipped, they are better able to focus on stabilizing dangerous situations, making sound decisions under pressure, and protecting officers, victims, bystanders, and other responding personnel. Proper protective equipment also supports the Department’s ability to manage critical incidents in a safe, controlled, and accountable manner.
The proposed purchase will replace the current rifle-rated ballistic torso plates used by the SWAT Team. These are replacement items for the Department’s current SWAT protective equipment, which is nearing the end of its manufacturer-rated service life.
Ballistic plates are certified to provide protection for a limited period, generally five years, after which they can no longer be relied upon to provide their intended level of protection. Once the replacement plates are received and issued, the current plates will be removed from service.
RPD staff obtained competitive pricing from multiple vendors, including TYR Tactical, DFNDR Armor, and HRT Tactical, for the required rifle-rated ballistic torso plates and related components (Attachments 1, 2, and 3). Quotes were evaluated for equivalent equipment configurations, pricing, compatibility with the Department’s selected vest platform, and the operational requirements of the SWAT Team. Following review of the quotes received, staff determined that TYR Tactical provided the lowest responsive pricing and best overall value while meeting the Department’s operational and safety needs (Attachment 4). The SWAT Team selected TYR Tactical Level 3+ Hard Armor Torso Plates based on operational reliability, compatibility with the Department’s selected vest platform, and the team’s positive experience using this equipment over the past decade.
RPD staff recommend City Council approve this purchase to ensure officer safety and maintain reliable protective equipment for SWAT personnel responding to high-risk incidents. The total estimated cost will not exceed $36,465.54, including a five percent contingency to account for minor price fluctuations and potential changes in shipping costs.

May 26, 2026
DISCUSSION:
Members of the Richmond Police Department (RPD) Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team respond to the Department’s most dangerous and high-risk incidents, including armed barricades, hostage situations, high-risk warrant service, and active threat events. These incidents present an elevated risk of gun violence and other serious hazards that require protective equipment beyond what is issued for standard patrol operations. SWAT ballistic vest platforms and rifle-rated armor plates are designed to protect personnel from handgun and rifle threats, fragmentation, ricochet hazards, and other impacts that may occur during critical incidents, reducing the risk of serious injury or death.
Modern SWAT vest platforms also improve operational effectiveness by allowing personnel to safely carry required equipment, including rifle-rated ballistic plates, medical supplies, less-lethal tools, and communication devices. This improves mobility, coordination, and response capability during high-risk incidents while enabling officers to render immediate medical aid if needed. When officers are properly equipped, they are better able to focus on stabilizing incidents safely, making sound decisions under pressure, and protecting officers, victims, bystanders, and the community.
The proposed purchase will outfit the entire SWAT Team with replacement ballistic vest platforms. These are replacement items for the Department’s current SWAT gear, which is nearing the end of its manufacturer-rated service life. Once the new equipment is received and issued, the current vests and plates will be removed from service.
RPD staff obtained competitive pricing from multiple vendors, including Crye Precision, US Patriot, and TACDIS, for the required SWAT vest platform components and compatible accessories (Attachments 1, 2, and 3). Quotes were evaluated for equivalent equipment configurations, pricing, compatibility, and the operational requirements of the SWAT Team. Following review of the quotes received, staff determined that Crye Precision provided the lowest responsive pricing and best overall value for the selected equipment configuration while meeting the Department’s operational and safety needs.
The vest platforms and ballistic plates are being purchased as separate items because Crye Precision manufactures the vest platform but does not manufacture rifle-rated ballistic plates. Following evaluation of available options, the SWAT Team selected the Crye Precision JPC R Series vest platform based on fit, weight, comfort, load-bearing capability, functionality, price, and overall service record. Compatible rifle-rated ballistic plates were selected separately to meet the Department’s operational and safety requirements.
RPD staff recommends City Council approve this purchase to ensure officer safety and maintain reliable protective equipment for SWAT personnel. The total estimated cost will not exceed $21,064.80, including a six percent contingency to account for minor price fluctuations and potential changes in shipping costs. Vendor quotes were based on a 1196

quantity of one item for comparison purposes; however, the proposed purchase includes 20 units of each item (Attachment 4).

A total of 135 vendors were notified of the solicitation through the City’s BidsOnline system (Attachment 2).
At the close of the solicitation period, one responsive proposal was received from AAA Backflow Prevention, Inc. City staff reviewed the proposal and determined that the firm met all minimum qualifications and demonstrated the experience, staffing capacity, and technical expertise necessary to perform the required services. Although only one proposal was submitted, staff found the pricing to be reasonable based on industry standards, previous contract pricing, and the scope of services required.
AAA Backflow Prevention, Inc. specializes in backflow testing and cross-connection control services and has extensive experience performing similar services for municipal and public agency clients. Based on the qualifications, responsiveness, and pricing submitted, staff determined that AAA Backflow Prevention, Inc. provides the best overall value to the City (Attachment 3).

___ Section 8
City of Richmond - Insurance Requirements – Type 1:
Consultants and Contractors
Type 1 – Page 4 of 4
Revised: September 2011
Verification of Coverage
All original certificates and endorsements shall be received and approved by the City before work may begin. The City of Richmond reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies including endorsements affecting the coverage at any time.
Original insurance certificates and required policy endorsements shall be mailed, or delivered to the Designated Project Manager for the City of Richmond.
Insurance certificates and endorsements may be faxed to the Designated Project Manager. However, Contractor must mail the original certificates and endorsements to Designated Project Manager once faxed.
Continuous Coverage
CONTRACTOR shall maintain the required insurance for the life of the contract. Should the CONTRACTOR cease to have insurance as required during this time, all work by the CONTRACTOR pursuant to this agreement shall cease until insurance acceptable to the City is provided. In the event that CONTRACTOR fails to comply with the City’s insurance requirements, the City may take such action as it deems necessary to protect the City’s interests. Such action may include but is not limited to termination of the contract, withholding of payments, or other actions as the City deems appropriate.
If services or the scope of work extend beyond the expiration dates of the required insurance policies initially approved by the City, CONTRACTOR must provide updated certificates and endorsements indicating that the required coverage, terms and conditions are still in place. Renewal certificates and updated endorsements shall be mailed to the Designated Project Manager.
Cancellation
CONTRACTOR shall ensure that coverage shall not be cancelled, reduced or otherwise materially changed except after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice has been given to the City.
Reporting Requirements
Any failure to comply with reporting or other provisions of the policies including breaches of warranties shall not affect coverage provided to the City, its officers, officials, employees or volunteers.
Consistent with Public Policy
The insuring provisions, insofar as they may be judged to be against public policy shall be void and unenforceable only to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining terms and provisions herein may be consistent with public policy and thus enforceable.

Subject: Contract with Myers & Sons Construction, LLC for the Bridge Preventive Maintenance Project
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The proposed construction contract amount for the Bridge Preventive Maintenance Project is $3,035,583.70, including a base bid of $2,639,638.00 and a fifteen
percent (15%) contingency of $395,945.70. The

requires local matching funds in the amount of $78,792, which will be funded through the Gas Tax Fund (Fund
1002) (Account Strings: 15436431-400708-23G02,

DISCUSSION:
On October 20, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 110-20, accepting and appropriating $1,903,395 in federal funds awarded from the Bridge Preventive Maintenance Program (BPMP).
As established in the 2020 resolution, funds were designated for specific preventive maintenance needs that were identified following a Caltrans bi-annual inspection of National Bridge Inventory Bridges in Richmond. While the 2020 appropriation relied on preliminary assessments performed at the time, the refined project scope and updated federal allocations now reflect a total required BPMP grant amount of $3,246,395.
The four bridges that were identified to receive BPMP funding for preventive maintenance (Attachment 1):
1. Giant Highway Connector (Bridge No. 28C0472)
2. Richmond Parkway Viaduct (Bridge No. 28C0474L)
3. Richmond Parkway Viaduct (Bridge No. 28C0474R)
4. 13th Street Bridge (Bridge No. 28C0317)
1309
May 26, 2026
The City publicly solicited bids for the Project via BidsOnline on February 10, 2026. (Attachment 2). Bids were opened on March 4, 2026, with the following results:
Bidder Base Bid
Amount
Myers & Sons Construction, LLC $2,639,638.00
Dees Burke Engineering Constructors, LLC $2,661,807.20
American Civil Constructors West Coast, LLC $2,747,000.00 Bay Line Cutting & Coring, Inc. $3,163,486.00
Based on the completed competitive bidding process, Myers & Sons Construction, LLC submitted the lowest bid and has been determined by staff to be the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Award of the construction contract to Myers & Sons Construction, LLC is consistent with applicable procurement requirements and confirms the Project can proceed within available grant funding and required local match.
Accordingly, City staff recommend that the City Council adopt a resolution awarding a construction contract to Myers & Sons Construction, LLC., as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, for the Bridge Preventive Maintenance Project in an amount not to exceed $3,035,583.70, including a base bid of $2,639,638.00 and a fifteen percent (15%) contingency, and authorize the Director of Public Works to approve change orders within the approved contingency amount.
The City is required to provide a local funding match to receive federal funds from BPMP. Matching funds in the amount of $78,792 are available in the Gas Tax Fund.
City staff recommend that the City Council accept and appropriate updated BPMP grant funds in an amount not to exceed $3,246,395 and appropriate the required local matching funds in the amount of $78,792 from the Gas Tax Fund.
Construction will commence in summer 2026 with an anticipated completion in winter 2026.

Securities shall be held in the name of ____ and shall designate the Contractor as the beneficial owner.
(2) The Owner shall make progress payments to the Contractor for those funds which otherwise would be withheld from progress payments pursuant to the Contract provisions, provided that the Escrow Agent holds securities in the form and amount specified above.
(3) When the Owner makes payment of retentions earned directly to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent shall hold them for the benefit of the Contractor until the time that the escrow created under this contract is terminated. The Contractor may direct the investment of the payments into securities. All terms and conditions of this agreement and the rights and responsibilities of the parties shall be equally applicable and binding when the Owner pays the Escrow Agent directly.
(4) Contractor shall be responsible for paying all fees for the expenses incurred by Escrow Agent in administering the Escrow Account and all expenses of the Owner. These expenses and payment terms shall be determined by the Owner, Contractor, and Escrow Agent.
(5) The interest earned on the securities or the money market accounts held in escrow and all interest earned on that interest shall be for the sole account of Contractor and shall be subject to withdrawal by Contractor at any time and from time to time without notice to the Owner. (6) Contractor shall have the right to withdraw all or any part of the principal in the Escrow Account only by written notice to Escrow Agent accompanied by written authorization from the Owner to the Escrow Agent that 1345

Owner consents to the withdrawal of the amount sought to be withdrawn by Contractor. (7) The Owner shall have a right to draw upon the securities in the event of default by the Contractor. Upon seven days' written notice to the Escrow Agent from the owner of the default, the Escrow Agent shall immediately convert the securities to cash and shall distribute the cash as instructed by the Owner. (8) Upon receipt of written notification from the Owner certifying that the Contract is final and complete, and that the Contractor has complied with all requirements and procedures applicable to the Contract, Escrow Agent shall release to Contractor all securities and interest on deposit less escrow fees and charges of the Escrow Account. The escrow shall be closed immediately upon disbursement of all moneys and securities on deposit and payments of fees and charges.
(9) Escrow Agent shall rely on the written notifications from the Owner and the Contractor pursuant to Sections (5) to (8), inclusive, of this Agreement and the Owner and Contractor shall hold Escrow Agent harmless from Escrow Agent's release and disbursement of the securities and interest as set forth above.

TO: Mayor Martinez and Members of the City Council
FROM: Daniel Chavarria, Director of Public Works/City Engineer Darin Fitzpatrick, Assistant Deputy Director of Public
Works - Operations & Maintenance
Jason Lacey, Parks Superintendent
Subject: Contract Amendment No. 2 with SCI Consulting Group to Prepare the Hilltop Assessment Districts Annual
Engineer’s Report
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The proposed $11,590 expenditure is included within the approved fiscal year 2026-2027 Hilltop Landscape
Maintenance District (LMD) operating budget. There is no impact to the General Fund (Account String:
11233731-400201).
PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:
March 16, 2021
STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:
The existing contract with SCI Consulting Group is set to expire prior to completion of the Fiscal Year 2026-27
Engineer’s Report. The Public Works Department is
requesting City Council approval of the second contract amendment with SCI Consulting Group to extend the
contract term through December 31, 2026, and expand
the scope to prepare the Hilltop Assessment Districts
Annual Engineer’s Report necessary to levy
assessments for the 2026-2027 Fiscal Year.
AGENDA
REPORT
1445
May 26, 2026
RECOMMENDED ACTION: ADOPT a resolution to APPROVE the second amendment to a contract with SCI Consulting Group to
prepare the Hilltop Assessment Districts Annual
Engineer’s Report necessary to levy assessments for
Fiscal Year 2026-2027, extending the contract term
through December 31, 2026, and increasing payment
limit by $11,590, for a total contract payment limit of $66,340 – Public Works Department (Daniel Chavarria
620-5478/ Darin Fitzpatrick 510-231-3044).
DISCUSSION:
On December 4, 2020, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to prepare the Hilltop and Marina Assessment Districts Annual Engineer’s Reports necessary to levy assessments for Fiscal Years (FY) 2021-2024. The RFP was posted on the City’s BidsOnline System and 20 firms received copies of the proposal.
SCI Consulting Group was selected based on its demonstrated qualifications, technical expertise, and experience in preparing assessment district engineer’s reports in compliance with Proposition 218 and applicable state laws governing assessment districts. SCI Consulting Group has successfully prepared prior annual reports for the City and possesses institutional knowledge of the Hilltop Assessment Districts, including assessment methodologies, parcel data, levy calculations, and required noticing procedures.
Preparation of the Engineer’s Report is required annually to levy assessments necessary to fund maintenance and operational services within the Hilltop Assessment Districts. The Engineer’s Report must be completed within statutory timelines to allow the City to conduct the required public hearing and place assessments on the County tax roll for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. Failure to complete the report in a timely manner could delay or jeopardize the City’s ability to levy assessments and maintain continuity of district-funded services.
The original agreement approved by the City Council included a three-year term with an additional two-year extension option, which staff exercised in August 2023 to continue assessment administration support services (Attachment 2). Public Works staff are currently preparing a new Request for Proposals (RFP) for long-term professional services; however, the amended agreement will expire prior to completion of the FY 2026–2027 Engineer’s Report. Due to the time-sensitive nature of the assessment levy process and the specialized technical requirements associated with preparation of the report, there is insufficient time to complete a competitive procurement process and transition services to a new consultant without risking delays to the FY 2026–2027 assessment schedule.
City staff recommend that the City Council adopt a resolution approving a second amendment to the agreement with SCI Consulting Group to extend the contract term 1446
May 26, 2026
through December 31, 2026, and increase the contract payment limit by $11,590, for a total contract amount not to exceed $66,340, to allow completion of the FY 2026–2027 Engineer’s Report and associated assessment administration support services (Attachments 3 and 4). Approval of the amendment will ensure continuity of services, maintain compliance with statutory deadlines, preserve institutional knowledge, and avoid disruptions to assessment district operations.

Subject: Ordinance Amending Sidewalk Vendor Regulations (RMC Chapter 7.42)
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with the introduction of the proposed ordinance.
Implementation of the updated Sidewalk Vendor
Ordinance will continue to require staffing and/or
contractual resources to support enforcement,
administration, and vendor outreach. These costs are
currently addressed through existing budget allocations; however, future adjustments may be necessary
depending on the level of service, enforcement
expectations, and program structure as directed by the
City Council.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:
None.
STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:
The City Council is being asked to consider an ordinance revising Chapter 7.42 of the Richmond Municipal Code to improve the administration, clarity, and effectiveness of the City’s Sidewalk Vendor Program.
AGENDA
REPORT
1521
May 26, 2026
DocID #56077v1
RECOMMENDED ACTION: ADOPT an ordinance (second reading) amending Chapter 7.42 of the Richmond Municipal Code (Sidewalk
Vendor Ordinance) to update administrative procedures,
waiver provisions, and enforcement mechanisms - Public
Works Department (Andy Cho 620-6547/Robert Armijo
620-5477).
DISCUSSION:
On July 2, 2024, the City Council adopted a Sidewalk Vending Ordinance, codified in Chapter 7.42 of the Richmond Municipal Code, to align with California Senate Bill 946 (SB 946), also known as the Safe Sidewalk Vending Act of 2018, and to promote public health, safety, accessibility, and economic opportunity through the regulation of sidewalk vending. The ordinance established requirements including the need for a special business permit, operational and locational standards, food vending provisions, and enforcement protocols. On the same date, the City Council adopted a companion resolution establishing fees, fines, and administrative penalties to support program implementation.
Following City Council adoption, City staff initiated a multi-departmental effort to implement the ordinance. This included launching an education and outreach campaign to inform vendors of the new requirements and assist them in coming into compliance.
The City launched the enforcement program in August 2024, one month after adoption.
Consultant 4Leaf, Inc., under contract with the City, has provided up to 40 hours per week of field-based code enforcement and outreach.
To support vendors, the City also launched the Mobile Vendor Plaza (The “Lot”) on September 21, 2024, providing a permitted and safe location for vendors to conduct business.
The combination of the vendor enforcement program and the Mobile Vendor Plaza has dramatically reduced unpermitted vendor activity from more than 60 cases in the early stage to less than 20 cases. The City has also received positive feedback from the 23rd Street Merchant Association, demonstrating successful collaboration and improved community relationships.
On July 1, 2025, City staff presented an update to the City Council on the Sidewalk Vendor Program, including enforcement activities, program challenges, and potential areas for ordinance refinement. City Council provided direction to City staff to explore updates to the ordinance, including mechanisms to address site-specific conditions, improve administrative clarity, and ensure alignment with evolving State requirements, including SB 635 (Street Vendor Business Protection Act).
Over the past year, the City has transitioned from a primarily educational approach to a more structured enforcement model. This has included coordination with contract 1522
May 26, 2026
DocID #56077v1
enforcement services, development of standard operating procedures, and increased field presence to promote compliance with the ordinance.
In response to City Council direction to explore updates to the ordinance, City staff reviewed policy alternatives and examined waiver provisions in Chapter 15.04.809 of the Richmond Municipal Code, previously adopted by the Community Development Department (CDD). City staff also received ongoing feedback throughout the year identifying additional areas of Chapter 7.42 that may benefit from clarification or amendment.
To support this effort, City staff consulted with the City Attorney and retained outside counsel to evaluate the current Sidewalk Vending Ordinance, to identify specific aspects appropriate for a waiver provision with emphasis on Chapter 7.42.060 (Operational Requirements) and Chapter 7.42.070 (Cart Location Standards) and to support an ordinance amendment process to ensure comprehensive and efficient reform.
The proposed amendments reflect experience administering the program over the past year and incorporate feedback from the City Council, legal counsel, and internal stakeholders. Through this process, several areas of Chapter 7.42 were identified for clarification or improvement, particularly with respect to administrative procedures, flexibility in applying standards, and alignment with State law.
Recent State legislation, including SB 635, also introduced new requirements related to vendor privacy and administrative processes, necessitating updates to the City’s ordinance. The proposed revisions to Chapter 7.42 are intended to address operational challenges identified during implementation and to provide a more durable administrative framework.
A key component of the update is the introduction of a formal waiver process, allowing limited flexibility in applying operational and location requirements where site-specific conditions warrant. This approach reduces the need for repeated ordinance amendments while maintaining public health and safety protections.
The amendments further clarify administrative procedures, including permit application requirements, denial and revocation criteria, and appeal processes, improving consistency and transparency for both administrators and vendors. In addition, the ordinance incorporates State-mandated provisions related to ability-to-pay determinations and confidentiality requirements under SB 635, ensuring continued compliance with evolving State law.
Key elements of the proposed revisions to Chapter 7.42 include:
Establishment of a Waiver Process
Clarification of Administrative Procedures
Ability-to-Pay Determinations
Confidentiality Protections
