City Council Meeting

WAIVER OF READING OF ORDINANCES
State law requires that an ordinance be read in its entirety prior to adoption unless the City Council waives reading beyond the title. Reading an entire ordinance at the meeting is extremely time-consuming; reading of the title alone usually gives the audience sufficient understanding of what the Council is considering.
To ensure that this waiver is consistently approved by the Council, Council should make the waiver at each meeting, thus, you should do it at this point on the Consent Agenda. The Council then does not have to worry about making this motion when each ordinance comes up on the agenda.

CITY OF SAN JUAN BAUTISTA
STAFF REPORT
DATE: JULY 18, 2023
FROM: JERRY SANGUINETTI, CITY ENGINEER
BY: DON REYNOLDS, CITY MANAGER
TITLE: AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR THE COMMUNITY HALL
ACOUSTICAL UPGRADE PROJECT
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
That the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached resolution awarding the contract for the Community Hall Acoustical Upgrade Project to Pacific Sound Control, the low bidder, for an amount of $85,500.
2. Approve a project contingency fund of $8,550.
3. Approve $15,000 for construction management and inspection services, for a total budget of $109,550
4. Authorize the City Manager to approve potential contract change orders and other construction contingencies within said fund.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The San Juan Bautista Community Hall, located at 10 San Jose Street, is regularly used by the San Juan Bautista community for group and organizational meetings, events, celebrations, and public meetings. It is ideal for a variety of uses because it has an open floor plan, a kitchen facility, and restrooms. However, the acoustics in the building are very poor due to the fact that all of the existing floor, wall, and ceiling surfaces are made up of hard flat materials. When occupied, attendees struggle with the very loud sound reverberation that echoes off of these surfaces.
In 2017, the City commissioned a study by Edward L. Pack Associates, Inc – a firm specializing in acoustics analysis – to evaluate the acoustical problem at the Community Hall and provide a recommendation for improving it. Their report, dated October 20, 2017, came up with the following findings and recommendations:
Item #4.E
City Council Meeting
July 18, 2023
Page | 2
• The acoustical environment of a space is typically described and controlled by the Reverberation Time (RT) or “echo”, which is a function of the sound absorption of the interior finishes.
• Hard, flat surfaces (such as those found in the Community Hall) absorb little sound and reflect the sound energy.
• The optimum RT is 1.40 seconds for the Community Hall when occupied. However, the actual measured RT is 3.51 seconds.
• Achieving the desired RT of 1.40 seconds can be achieved by installing sound absorbing panels and diffusers on the walls and ceiling of the Community Hall. Given the multifaceted use of the facility, no treatment of the floor was recommended.
DISCUSSION:
Project Description
The project scope that was the basis for the bid was generated from the Edward Pack recommendations. The walls will receive a total of 29 acoustical panels (combination of 4’x8’ and 2’x8’ in size) and 7 acoustic diffusers. The ceiling will receive 96 panels (2’x8’ in size). The panels will be mechanically fastened to the wall and ceiling surfaces and are designed to be impact resistant and meet fire code requirements.
The time for completion is estimated to be 5-6 weeks from the commencement of work. The City has set up the contract so that weekend use of the Community Hall will still be allowed during the course of construction. Midweek use, however, will not be allowed. The contractor is expected to set up a material and equipment storage unit adjacent to the facility to accommodate weekend use.
Advertising-Bid Process and Results
Bid documents and estimate were prepared by staff and a Notice to Bidders was published once in the Hollister Free Lance. Staff sent the Notice to Bidders to eight Builders Exchanges, covering Alameda County, Santa Clara County, Contra Costa County, the Peninsula area, and the San Francisco Bay Area.
One (1) bid was received and opened on June 22, 2023. The lowest responsible and responsive bidder is Pacific Sound Control, Inc. with a corporate office in Santa Ana, California. Pacific Sound Control specializes in interior acoustic improvements and their bid amount is lower than the engineer’s estimate, which is why the contract award is recommended.
Recommendations
Staff recommends that the City Council accept the bid received, and award the contract to Pacific Sound Control, Inc.
Staff further recommends awarding a construction budget that includes a 10% contingency to address potential unforeseen conditions during construction, administration, and project closeout.
Breakdown of project construction costs is as follows:
Item #4.E

July 18, 2023

Construction Contract $ 85,500.00
Construction Contingency $ 8,550.00
Construction Manager and Inspection Services $ 15,000.00 Total Authorized Project Budget $ 109,550.00
FISCAL IMPACT:
Ongoing maintenance and repair costs will be performed by City staff or contractors once completed.
SCHEDULE:
The following is the tentative schedule for this project. An actual schedule will be developed and confirmed with the contractor based upon completion of the required contract documents, approval of pre-submittals, and their availability. Extended lead times for structure have been accounted for in the 25 Business Day “Contract Time” identified in the project documents.

2.2 Contractor
(A) General. Contractor must provide all labor, materials, supplies equipment and services and incidentals necessary to perform and timely complete the Work in strict accordance with the Contract Documents, and in an economic and efficient manner in the best interests of City, and with minimal inconvenience to the public.
(B) Responsibility for the Work and Risk of Loss. Contractor is responsible for supervising and directing all aspects of the Work to facilitate the efficient and timely completion of the Work. Contractor is solely responsible for and required to exercise full control over the Work, including the construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, procedures, and coordination of all portions of the Work with that of all other contractors and Subcontractors, except to the extent that the Contract Documents provide other specific instructions. Contractor’s responsibilities extend to any plan, method or sequence suggested, but not required by City or specified in the Contract Documents. From the date of commencement of the Work until either the date on which City formally accepts the Project or the effective date of termination of the Contract, whichever is later, Contractor bears all risks of injury or damage to the Work and the materials and equipment delivered to the Worksite, by any cause including fire, earthquake, wind, weather, vandalism or theft.
(C) Project Administration. Contractor must provide sufficient and competent administration, staff, and skilled workforce necessary to perform and timely complete the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. Before starting the Work, Contractor must designate in writing and provide complete contact information, including telephone numbers and email address, for the officer or employee in Contractor’s organization who is to serve as Contractor’s primary representative for the Project, and who has authority to act on Contractor’s behalf. A Subcontractor may not serve as Contractor’s primary representative.
(D) On-Site Superintendent. Contractor must, at all times during performance of the Work, provide a qualified and competent superintendent acceptable to City, and assistants as necessary, who must be physically present at the Project site while any aspect of the Work is being performed. City’s approval of the superintendent is required before the Work commences. If City is not satisfied with the superintendent’s performance, City may request a qualified replacement of the superintendent. Failure to comply may result in temporary suspension of the Work, at Contractor’s sole expense and with no extension of Contract Time, until the approved superintendent is physically present to supervise the Work. Contractor must provide written notice to City, as soon as practicable, before replacing the superintendent.
(E) Standards; Compliance. Contractor must, at all times, ensure that the Work is performed in an efficient, skillful manner following best practices and in full compliance with the Contract Documents and all applicable laws, regulations, codes, standards, and permits, including City’s municipal code, rules, and regulations, and any orders of the administrative or judicial bodies with jurisdiction over the Work
(F) Meetings. Contractor, its project manager and superintendent and the Subcontractors requested by City, must attend a Pre-Construction Conference, if requested by City, as well as weekly Project progress meetings with City that City will schedule.
(G) Responsible Party. Contractor is solely responsible to City for the acts or omissions of any Subcontractors, or any other party or parties performing portions of the Work or providing equipment, materials or services for or on behalf of Contractor or the Subcontractors. Upon City’s written request, Contractor must promptly and permanently remove from the Project, at no cost to City, any employee or Subcontractor or employee of a Subcontractor who the Engineer has determined to be incompetent, intemperate or disorderly, or who has failed or refused to perform the Work as required under the Contract Documents.
(H) Correction of Defects. Contractor must promptly correct, at Contractor’s sole expense, any Work that is determined by City to be deficient or defective in any way, including workmanship, materials, parts or equipment. Workmanship, materials, parts or equipment that do not conform to the requirements under the Drawings, Specifications and every other Contract Document, as determined by City, will be considered defective and subject to rejection. Contractor must also promptly correct, at Contractor’s sole expense, any Work performed beyond the lines and grades shown on the Plans or established by City, and any Extra Work performed without City’s prior written approval. However, City may elect to retain defective Work, and deduct the difference in value, as determined by the Engineer, from payments otherwise due to Contractor.
(I) Contractor’s Records. Contractor must maintain all of its records relating to the Project in any form, including paper documents, photos, videos and electronic records. Project records subject to this provision include, but are not limited to, Project cost records and records relating to preparation of Contractor’s bid.
(1) Contractor’s cost records must include all supporting documentation, including original receipts, invoices, and payroll records, evidencing its direct costs to perform the Work, including, but not limited to, costs for labor, materials and equipment. Each cost record should include, at a minimum, a description of the expenditure with references to the applicable requirements of the Contract Documents, the amount actually paid, the date of payment, and whether the expenditure is part of the original Contract Price, related to an executed Change Order, or otherwise categorized by Contractor as Extra Work. Contractor’s failure to comply with this provision as to any claimed cost operates as a waiver of any rights to recover the claimed cost.
(2) Contractor must continue to maintain its Project records in an organized manner for a period of four years after City’s acceptance of the Project or following Contract termination, whichever occurs first. Subject to prior notice to Contractor, City is entitled to inspect or audit any of Contractor’s Project records relating to the Project or to investigate Contractor’s plant or equipment during Contractor’s normal business hours.
(J) Copies of Project Documents. Contractor and its Subcontractors must keep copies, at the Project site, of the Work-related documents, including the Contract, permit(s), Drawings, Specifications, Addenda, Contract amendments, Change Orders, RFIs and RFI responses, Shop Drawings, and any related written interpretations. The Contract Documents, as-built drawings, and all Worksite copies must be available to City for reference at all times.
2.3 Subcontractors
(A) General. All Work which is not performed by Contractor with its own forces must be performed by Subcontractors. City reserves the right to approve or reject any and all Subcontractors proposed to perform the Work, for reasons including the subcontractor’s poor reputation, lack of relevant experience, financial instability, and lack of technical ability or adequately trained workforce. Each Subcontractor must obtain a City business license before performing any Work. (B) Contractual Obligations. Contractor must require every Subcontractor to be bound to the provisions of the Contract Documents as they apply to the Subcontractor’s portion(s) of the Work, and to likewise bind their subcontractors or suppliers. Nothing in these Contract Documents creates a contractual relationship between a Subcontractor and City, but City is deemed to be a third-party beneficiary of the contract between Contractor and each Subcontractor. (C) Termination. If the Contract is terminated, each Subcontractor’s agreement must be assigned by Contractor to City, subject to the prior rights of any surety, but only if City accepts the assignment by written notification, and assumes all rights and obligations of Contractor pursuant to each such subcontract agreement.
(D) Substitution of Subcontractor. If Contractor requests substitution of a listed Subcontractor under Public Contract Code section 4107, Contractor is solely responsible for all costs City incurs in responding to the request, including legal fees and costs to conduct a hearing.
2.4 Coordination of Work
(A) Concurrent Work. City reserves the right to perform or to have performed other work on or adjacent to the Project site while the Work is being performed. Contractor is responsible for coordinating its Work with other work being performed on or adjacent to the Project site, including by any utility companies or agencies, and must avoid hindering, delaying, or interfering with the work of other contractors and subcontractors. To the full extent permitted by law, Contractor must hold harmless and indemnify City against any and all claims arising from or related to Contractor’s avoidable, negligent, or willful hindrance of, delay to, or interference with the work of any utility company or agency or another contractor or subcontractor.
(B) Defects. Before proceeding with any portion of the Work affected by the construction or operations of others, Contractor must give the Project Manager prompt written notification of any defects Contractor discovers which will prevent the proper execution of the Work. Failure to give notice of any known defects will be deemed acknowledgement by Contractor that the work of others is not defective and will not prevent the proper execution of the Work.
2.5 Submittals. Unless otherwise specified, Contractor must submit to the Engineer for review and acceptance all schedules, Shop Drawings, samples, product data and similar submittals required by the Contract Documents, or upon request by the Engineer. Unless otherwise specified, all submittals, including Requests for Information, are subject to the general provisions of this Section, as well as specific submittal requirements that may be included elsewhere in the Contract Documents. (A) General. Contractor is responsible for ensuring that its submittals are accurate and conform to the Contract Documents.
(B) Time and Manner of Submission. Contractor must ensure that its submittals are prepared and delivered in a manner consistent with the current City-accepted schedule for the Work and within the applicable time specified in the Contract Documents, or if no time is specified, in such time and sequence so as not to delay the performance of the Work or completion of the Project. (C) Required Contents. Each submittal must include the Project name and contract number, Contractor’s name and address, the name and address of any Subcontractor or supplier involved with the submittal, the date, and references to applicable Specification section(s) and/or drawing and detail number(s).
(D) Required Corrections. If corrections are required, Contractor must promptly make and submit any required corrections as specified in full conformance with the requirements of this Section, or other requirements that apply to that submittal.
(E) Effect of Review and Acceptance. Review and acceptance of a submittal by City will not relieve Contractor from complying with the requirements of the Contract Documents. Contractor is responsible for any errors in any submittal, and review or acceptance of a submittal by City is not an assumption of risk or liability by City.
(F) Enforcement. Any Work performed or any material furnished, installed, fabricated or used without City’s prior acceptance of a required submittal is performed or provided at Contractor’s risk, and Contractor may be required to bear the costs incident thereto, including the cost of removing and replacing such Work, repairs to other affected portions of the Work or material, and the cost of additional time or services required of City, including costs for the Design Professional, Project Manager, or Inspector.
(G) Excessive RFIs. A RFI will be considered excessive or unnecessary if City determines that, the explanation or response to the RFI is clearly and unambiguously discernable from the Contract Documents. City’s costs to review and respond to excessive or unnecessary RFIs may be deducted from payments otherwise due to Contractor.
2.6 Shop Drawings. When Shop Drawings are required by the Specifications or requested by the Engineer, they must be prepared according to best practices at Contractor’s expense. The Shop Drawings must be of a size and scale to clearly show all necessary details. Unless otherwise specified by City, Shop Drawings must be provided to the Engineer for review and acceptance at least 30 days before the Work will be performed. If City requires changes, the corrected Shop Drawings must be resubmitted to the Engineer for review within the time specified by the Engineer. For all Project components requiring Shop Drawings, Contractor will not furnish materials or perform any Work until the Shop Drawings for those components are accepted by City. Contractor is responsible for any errors or omissions in the Shop Drawings, shop fits and field corrections; any deviations from the Contract Documents; and for the results obtained by the use of Shop Drawings. Acceptance of Shop Drawings by City does not relieve Contractor of Contractor’s responsibility.
ARTICLE 3 - CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
3.1 Interpretation of Contract Documents.
(A) Drawings and Specifications. The Drawings and Specifications included in the Contract Documents are complementary and approximate. If Work is shown on one but not on the other, Contractor must perform the Work as though fully described on both, consistent with the Contract Documents and reasonably inferable from them as being necessary to produce the indicated results. The Drawings and Specifications are deemed to include and require everything necessary and reasonably incidental to completion of the Work, whether or not particularly mentioned or shown. Contractor must perform all Work and services and supply all things reasonably related to and inferable from the Contract Documents. In the event of a conflict between the Drawings and Specifications, the Specifications will control. Detailed Drawings take precedence over general Drawings, and large scale Drawings take precedence over smaller scale Drawings. Any arrangement or division of the Drawings and Specifications into sections is for convenience and is not intended to limit the Work required by separate trades. A conclusion presented in the Drawings or Specifications is only a recommendation.
Actual locations and depths must be determined by Contractor’s field investigation. Contractor may request access to underlying or background information in City’s possession that is necessary for Contractor to form its own conclusions.
(B) Duty to Notify and Seek Direction. If Contractor becomes aware of a changed condition in the Project, or of any ambiguity, conflict, inconsistency, discrepancy, omission, or error in the Contract Documents, including under the Drawings or Specifications, Contractor must immediately submit a Request for Information to the Engineer and wait for a response from City before proceeding further with the related Work. The RFI must notify City of the issue and request clarification, interpretation or direction. The Engineer’s clarification, interpretation or direction will be final and binding on Contractor. If Contractor proceeds with the related Work before obtaining City’s response, Contractor will be responsible for any resulting costs, including the cost of correcting any incorrect or defective Work that results. City will not extend the Contract Time due to Contractor’s failure to submit a timely RFI to the Engineer.
(C) Figures and Dimensions. Figures control over scaled dimensions. (D) Technical or Trade Terms. Any terms that have well-known technical or trade meanings will be interpreted in accordance with those meanings, unless otherwise specifically defined in the Contract Documents.
(E) Measurements. Contractor must verify all relevant measurements at the Worksite before ordering any material or performing any Work, and will be responsible for the correctness of those measurements.
3.2 Order of Precedence. Information included in one Contract Document but not in another will not be considered a conflict or inconsistency. Unless otherwise specified in the Special Conditions, in case of any conflict or inconsistency among the Contract Documents, the following order of precedence will apply, beginning from highest to lowest:
(A) Change Orders;
(B) Addenda;
(C) Contract;
(D) Notice to Proceed;
(E) Notice of Award;
(F) Special Provisions;
(G) General Conditions;
(H) Payment, Performance and Warranty Bonds;
(I) Specifications;
(J) Drawings;
(K) Contractor’s Bid Proposal and attachments;
(L) Notice Inviting Bids;
(M) Instructions to Bidders;
(N) the City’s standard specifications, as applicable; and (O) Any documents prepared by and on behalf of a third party, that were not prepared specifically for this Project, such as the Caltrans Standard Specifications or Caltrans Special Provisions.
3.3 Caltrans Standard Specifications. Any reference to or incorporation of the Standard Specifications of the State of California, Department of Transportation (“Caltrans”), including “Standard Specifications,” “Caltrans Specifications,” “State Specifications,” or “CSS,” means the most current edition of Caltrans’ Standard Specifications, unless otherwise specified (“Caltrans Standard Specifications”), including the most current amendments as of the date that Contractor’s bid was submitted for this Project. The following provisions apply to use of or reference to the Caltrans Standard Specifications or Special Provisions:
(A) Limitations. The “General Provisions” of the Caltrans Standard Specifications, i.e., sections 1 through 9, do not apply to these Contract Documents with the exception of any specific provisions, if any, which are expressly stated to apply to these Contract Documents. (B) Conflicts or Inconsistencies. If there is a conflict or inconsistency between any provision in the Caltrans Standard Specifications or Special Provisions and a provision of these Contract Documents, as determined by City, the provision in the Contract Documents will govern. (C) Meanings. Terms used in the Caltrans Standard Specifications or Special Provisions are to be interpreted as follows:
(1) Any reference to the “Engineer” is deemed to mean the City Engineer. (2) Any reference to the “Special Provisions” is deemed to mean the Special Conditions, unless the Caltrans Special Provisions are expressly included in the Contract Documents listed in Section 2 of the Contract.
(3) Any reference to the “Department” or “State” is deemed to mean City.
3.4 For Reference Only. Contractor is responsible for the careful review of any document, study, or report provided by City or appended to the Contract Documents solely for informational purposes and identified as “For Reference Only.” Nothing in any document, study, or report so appended and identified is intended to supplement, alter, or void any provision of the Contract Documents. Contractor is advised that City or its representatives may be guided by information or recommendations included in such reference documents, particularly when making determinations as to the acceptability of proposed materials, methods, or changes in the Work. Any record drawings or similar final or accepted drawings or maps that are not part of the Contract Documents are deemed to be For Reference Only. The provisions of the Contract Documents are not modified by any perceived or actual conflict with provisions in any document that is provided For Reference Only.
3.5 Current Versions. Unless otherwise specified by City, any reference to standard specifications, technical specifications, or any City or state codes or regulations means the latest specification, code or regulation in effect at the time the Contract is signed.
3.6 Conformed Copies. If City prepares a conformed set of the Contract Documents following award of the Contract, it will provide Contractor with two hard copy (paper) sets and one copy of the electronic file in PDF format. It is Contractor’s responsibility to ensure that all Subcontractors, including fabricators, are provided with the conformed set of the Contract Documents at Contractor’s sole expense.
ARTICLE 4 - BONDS, INDEMNITY, AND INSURANCE
4.1 Payment and Performance Bonds. Within ten days following issuance of the Notice of Award, Contractor is required to provide a payment bond and a performance bond, each in the penal sum of not less than 100% of the Contract Price, using the bond forms included with the Contract Documents. (A) Surety. Each bond must be issued by a surety admitted in California. If an issuing surety cancels the bond or becomes insolvent, within seven days following written notice from City, Contractor must substitute a surety acceptable to City. If Contractor fails to substitute an acceptable surety within the specified time, City may, at its sole discretion, withhold payment from Contractor until the surety is replaced to City’s satisfaction, or terminate the Contract for default. (B) Supplemental Bonds for Increase in Contract Price. If the Contract Price increases during construction by five percent or more over the original Contract Price, Contractor must provide supplemental or replacement bonds within ten days of written notice from City pursuant to this Section, covering 100% of the increased Contract Price and using the bond forms included with the Contract Documents.
4.2 Indemnity. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor must indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City, its Council, officers, officials, employees, agents, volunteers and consultants (individually, an “Indemnitee,” and collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, claims, causes of action, demands, charges, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorney fees, expert witness fees, paralegal fees, and fees and costs of litigation or arbitration) (collectively, “Liability”) of every nature arising out of or in connection with the acts or omissions of Contractor, its employees, Subcontractors, representatives, or agents, in bidding or performing the Work or in failing to comply with any obligation of Contractor under the Contract, except such Liability caused by the active negligence, sole negligence, or willful misconduct of an Indemnitee. This indemnity requirement applies to any Liability arising from alleged defects in the content or manner of submission of Contractor’s bid for the Contract. Contractor’s failure or refusal to timely accept a tender of defense pursuant to this Contract will be deemed a material breach of the Contract. City will timely notify Contractor upon receipt of any third-party claim relating to the Contract, as required by Public Contract Code section 9201. Contractor’s indemnity obligations under this Contract will survive the expiration or any early termination of the Contract.
4.3 Insurance. No later than ten days following issuance of the Notice of Award, Contractor must procure and provide proof of the insurance coverage required by this Section in the form of certificates and endorsements acceptable to City. The required insurance must cover the activities of Contractor and its Subcontractors relating to or arising from the performance of the Work, and must remain in full force and effect at all times during the period covered by the Contract, through the date of City’s acceptance of the Project. All required insurance must be issued by a company licensed to do business in the State of California, and each such insurer must have an A.M. Best’s financial strength rating of “A” or better and a financial size rating of “VIII” or better. If Contractor fails to provide any of the required coverage in full compliance with the requirements of the Contract Documents, City may, at its sole discretion, purchase such coverage at Contractor’s expense and deduct the cost from payments due to Contractor, or terminate the Contract for default. The procurement of the required insurance will not be construed to limit Contractor’s liability under this Contract or to fulfill Contractor’s indemnification obligations under this Contract.
(A) Policies and Limits. The following insurance policies and limits are required for this Contract, unless otherwise specified in the Special Conditions:
(1) Commercial General Liability (“CGL”) Insurance: The CGL insurance policy must be issued on an occurrence basis, written on a comprehensive general liability form, and must include coverage for liability arising from Contractor’s or its Subcontractor’s acts or omissions in the performance of the Work, including contractor’s protected coverage, blanket contractual, products and completed operations, broad form property damage, vehicle coverage and employer’s non-ownership liability coverage, with limits of at least $2,000,000 per occurrence and at least $4,000,000 general aggregate. The CGL insurance coverage may be arranged under a single policy for the full limits required or by a combination of underlying policies with the balance provided by excess or umbrella policies, provided each such policy complies with the requirements set forth in this Section.
(2) Automobile Liability Insurance: The automobile liability insurance policy must provide coverage of at least $2,000,000 combined single-limit per accident for bodily injury, death or property damage.
(3) Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Employer’s Liability: The workers’ compensation and employer’s liability insurance policy must comply with the requirements of the California Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Safety Act, providing coverage of at least $1,000,000 or as otherwise required by the statute. If Contractor is self-insured, Contractor must provide its Certificate of Permission to Self-Insure, duly authorized by the DIR. (4) Pollution Liability Insurance: The pollution liability insurance policy must be issued on an occurrence basis, for all loss arising out of claims for bodily injury, death, property damage, or environmental damage caused by pollution conditions resulting from the Work. (5) Builder’s Risk Insurance: The builder’s risk insurance policy must be issued on an occurrence basis, for all-risk or “all perils” coverage on a 100% completed value basis on the insurable portion of the Project for the benefit of City. (B) Notice. Each certificate of insurance must state that the coverage afforded by the policy or policies will not be reduced, cancelled or allowed to expire without at least 30 days written notice to City, unless due to non-payment of premiums, in which case ten days written notice must be made to City.
(C) Waiver of Subrogation. Each required policy must include an endorsement providing that the carrier will waive any right of subrogation it may have against City. (D) Required Endorsements. The CGL policy, automobile liability policy, pollution liability policy, and builder’s risk policy must include the following specific endorsements:
(1) The City, including its Council, officials, officers, employees, agents, volunteers and consultants (collectively, “Additional Insured”) must be named as an additional insured for all liability arising out of the operations by or on behalf of the named insured, and the policy must protect the Additional Insured against any and all liability for personal injury, death or property damage or destruction arising directly or indirectly in the performance of the Contract. The additional insured endorsement must be provided using ISO form CG 20 10 11 85 or an equivalent form approved by the City.
(2) The inclusion of more than one insured will not operate to impair the rights of one insured against another, and the coverages afforded will apply as though separate policies have been issued to each insured.
(3) The insurance provided is primary and no insurance held or owned by City may be called upon to contribute to a loss.
(4) This policy does not exclude explosion, collapse, underground excavation hazard, or removal of lateral support.
(E) Subcontractors. Contractor must ensure that each Subcontractor is required to maintain the same insurance coverage required under this Section 4.3, with respect to its performance of Work on the Project, including those requirements related to the Additional Insureds and waiver of subrogation.
Contractor must confirm that each Subcontractor has complied with these insurance requirements before the Subcontractor is permitted to begin Work on the Project. Upon request by the City, Contractor must provide certificates and endorsements submitted by each Subcontractor to prove compliance with this requirement. The insurance requirements for Subcontractors do not replace or limit the Contractor’s insurance obligations.
(F) Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions that apply to the required insurance (collectively, “deductibles”) in excess of $100,000 are subject to approval by City, acting in its sole discretion, and must be declared by Contractor when it submits its certificates of insurance and endorsements pursuant to this Section 4.3. If City determines that the deductibles are unacceptably high, at City’s option, Contractor must either reduce or eliminate the deductibles as they apply to City and all required Additional Insured; or must provide a financial guarantee, to City’s satisfaction, guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigation, claim administration, and legal expenses.
4.4 Warranty Bond. As a condition precedent to Final Completion, Contractor must submit a warranty bond, using the form included with the Contract Documents, to guarantee its Work as specified in Article 11, Completion and Warranty Procedures. The warranty bond must be issued by a surety admitted in California for 15% of the final Contract Price or as otherwise specified in the Contract Documents. If an issuing surety cancels the bond or becomes insolvent, within seven days following written notice from City, Contractor must substitute a surety acceptable to City.
ARTICLE 5 - CONTRACT TIME
5.1 Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence in Contractor’s performance and completion of the Work, and Contractor must diligently prosecute the Work and complete it within the Contract Time. (A) General. Contractor must commence the Work on the date indicated in the Notice to Proceed and must fully complete the Work in strict compliance with all requirements of the Contract Documents and within the Contract Time. Contractor may not begin performing the Work on the Project site before the date specified in the Notice to Proceed.
(B) Authorization. Contractor is not entitled to compensation or credit for any Work performed before the date specified in the Notice to Proceed, with the exception of any schedules, submittals, or other requirements, if any, that must be provided or performed before issuance of the Notice to Proceed. (C) Rate of Progress. Contractor and its Subcontractors must, at all times, provide workers, materials, and equipment sufficient to maintain the rate of progress necessary to ensure full completion of the Work within the Contract Time. If City determines that Contractor is failing to prosecute the Work at a sufficient rate of progress, City may, in its sole discretion, direct Contractor to provide additional workers, materials, or equipment, or to work additional hours or days without additional cost to City, in order to achieve a rate of progress satisfactory to City. If Contractor fails to comply with City’s directive in this regard, City may, at Contractor’s expense, separately contract for additional workers, materials, or equipment or use City’s own forces to achieve the necessary rate of progress.
Alternatively, City may terminate the Contract based on Contractor’s default.
5.2 Schedule Requirements. Contractor must prepare all schedules using standard scheduling software acceptable to the Engineer, and must provide the schedules in electronic and paper form as requested by the Engineer. In addition to the general scheduling requirements set forth below, Contractor must also comply with any scheduling requirements included in the Special Conditions or in the Technical Specifications.
(A) Baseline (As-Planned) Schedule. Within ten calendar days following City’s issuance of the Notice of Award (or as otherwise specified in the Special Conditions), Contractor must submit to City for review and acceptance a baseline (as-planned) schedule using critical path methodology showing in detail how Contractor plans to perform and fully complete the Work within the Contract Time, including labor, equipment, materials and fabricated items. The baseline schedule must show the order of the major items of Work and the dates of start and completion of each item, including when the materials and equipment will be procured. The schedule must also include the work of all trades, reflecting anticipated labor or crew hours and equipment loading for the construction activities, and must be sufficiently comprehensive and detailed to enable progress to be monitored on a day-by-day basis. For each activity, the baseline schedule must be dated, provided in the format specified in the Contract Documents or as required by City, and must include, at a minimum, a description of the activity, the start and completion dates of the activity, and the duration of the activity. (1) Specialized Materials Ordering. Within five calendar days following issuance of the Notice to Proceed, Contractor must order any specialized material or equipment for the Work that is not readily available from material suppliers. Contractor must also retain documentation of the purchase orders date(s).
(B) City’s Review of Schedules. City will review and may note exceptions to the baseline schedule, and to the progress schedules submitted as required below, to assure completion of the Work within the Contract Time. Contractor is solely responsible for resolving any exceptions noted in a schedule and must, within seven days, correct the schedule to address them. (C) Progress Schedules. After City accepts the final baseline schedule with no exceptions, Contractor must submit an updated progress schedule and three-week look-ahead schedule, in the format specified by City, for review and acceptance with each application for a progress payment, or when otherwise specified by City, until completion of the Work. The updated progress schedule must: show how the actual progress of the Work as constructed to date compares to the baseline schedule; reflect any proposed changes in the construction schedule or method of operations, including to achieve Project milestones within the Contract Time; and identify any actual or potential impacts to the critical path.
Contractor must also submit periodic reports to City of any changes in the projected material or equipment delivery dates for the Project.
(1) Float. The progress schedule must show early and late completion dates for each task. The number of days between those dates will be designated as the “float.” Any float belongs to the Project and may be allocated by the Engineer to best serve timely completion of the Project. (2) Failure to Submit Schedule. Reliable, up-to-date schedules are essential to efficient and costeffective administration of the Project and timely completion. If Contractor fails to submit a schedule within the time periods specified in this Section, or submits a schedule to which City has noted exceptions that are not corrected, City may withhold up to ten percent from payment(s) otherwise due to Contractor until the exceptions are resolved, the schedule is corrected and resubmitted, and City has accepted the schedule. In addition, Contractor’s failure to comply with the schedule requirements in this Section 5.2 will be deemed a waiver of any claims for Excusable Delay or loss of productivity arising when Contractor is out of compliance, subject only to the limits of Public Contract Code section 7102. (D) Recovery Schedule. If City determines that the Work is more than one week behind schedule, within seven days following written notice of such determination, Contractor must submit a recovery schedule, showing how Contractor intends to perform and complete the Work within the Contract Time, based on actual progress to date.
(E) Effect of Acceptance. Contractor and its Subcontractors must perform the Work in accordance with the most current City-accepted schedule unless otherwise directed by City. City’s acceptance of a schedule does not operate to extend the time for completion of the Work or any component of the Work, and will not affect City’s right to assess liquidated damages for Contractor’s unexcused delay in completing the Work within the Contract Time.
(F) Posting. Contractor must at all times maintain a copy of the most current City-accepted progress or recovery schedule posted prominently in its on-site office. (G) Reservation of Rights. City reserves the right to direct the sequence in which the Work must be performed or to make changes in the sequence of the Work in order to facilitate the performance of work by City or others, or to facilitate City’s use of its property. The Contract Time or Contract Price may be adjusted to the extent such changes in sequence actually increase or decrease Contractor’s time or cost to perform the Work.
(H) Authorized Working Days and Times. For purposes of this Contract the Contractor is limited to working Monday through Thursday, excluding holidays, during City’s normal business hours, except as provided in the Special Conditions or as authorized in writing by City. City reserves the right to charge Contractor for additional costs incurred by City due to Work performed on days or during hours not expressly authorized in the Contract Documents, including reimbursement of costs incurred for inspection, testing, and construction management services.
5.3 Delay and Extensions of Contract Time.
(A) Notice of Delay. If Contractor becomes aware of any actual or potential delay affecting the critical path, Contractor must promptly notify the Engineer in writing, regardless of the nature or cause of the delay, so that City has a reasonable opportunity to mitigate or avoid the delay. (B) Excusable Delay. The Contract Time may be extended if Contractor encounters “Excusable Delay,” which is an unavoidable delay in completing the Work within the Contract Time due to causes completely beyond Contractor’s control, and which Contractor could not have avoided or mitigated through reasonable care, planning, foresight, and diligence. Grounds for Excusable Delay may include fire, natural disasters including earthquake or unusually severe weather, acts of terror or vandalism, epidemic, unforeseeable adverse government actions, unforeseeable actions of third parties, encountering unforeseeable hazardous materials, unforeseeable site conditions, or suspension for convenience under Article 13.
(C) Non-Excusable Delay. Delay which Contractor could have avoided or mitigated through reasonable care, planning, foresight and diligence is “Non-Excusable Delay.” Contractor is not entitled to an extension of Contract Time or any compensation for Non-Excusable Delay, or for Excusable Delay that is concurrent with Non-Excusable Delay. Non-Excusable Delay includes delay caused by:
(1) Weather conditions which are normal for the location of the Project, as determined by reliable records, including monthly rainfall averages, for the preceding ten years; (2) Contractor’s failure to order equipment and materials sufficiently in advance of the time needed for timely completion of the Work;
(3) Contractor’s failure to provide adequate notification to utility companies or agencies for connections or services necessary for the timely performance and completion of the Work; (4) Foreseeable conditions which Contractor could have ascertained from reasonably diligent inspection of the Worksite or review of the Contract Documents or other information provided or available to Contractor; or
(5) Contractor’s financial inability to perform the Work, including insufficient funds to pay its Subcontractors or suppliers.
(D) Compensable Delay. Pursuant to Public Contract Code section 7102, in addition to entitlement to an extension of Contract Time, Contractor is entitled to compensation for costs incurred due to delay caused solely by City, when that delay is unreasonable under the circumstances involved and not within the contemplation of the parties (“Compensable Delay”). Contractor is not entitled to an extension of Contract Time or recovery of costs for Compensable Delay that is concurrent with Non-Excusable Delay.
(E) Recoverable Costs. Contractor is not entitled to compensation for Excusable Delay unless it is Compensable Delay, as defined above. Contractor is entitled to recover only the actual, direct, reasonable, and substantiated costs (“Recoverable Costs”) for each working day that the Compensable Delay prevents Contractor from proceeding with more than 50% of the critical path Work scheduled for that day, based on the most recent progress schedule accepted by City. Recoverable Costs will not include home office overhead or lost profit.
(F) Request for Extension of Contract Time or Recoverable Costs. A request for an extension of Contract Time or any associated Recoverable Costs must be submitted in writing to City within ten calendar days of the date the delay is first encountered, even if the duration of the delay is not yet known at that time, or any entitlement to the Contract Time extension or to the Recoverable Costs will be deemed waived. In addition to complying with the requirements of this Article 5, the request must be submitted in compliance with the Change Order request procedures in Article 6 below. Strict compliance with these requirements is necessary to ensure that any delay or consequences of delay may be mitigated as soon as possible, and to facilitate cost-efficient administration of the Project and timely performance of the Work. Any request for an extension of Contract Time or Recoverable Costs that does not strictly comply with all of the requirements of Article 5 and Article 6 will be deemed waived. (1) Required Contents. The request must include a detailed description of the cause(s) of the delay and must also describe the measures that Contractor has taken to mitigate the delay and/or its effects, including efforts to mitigate the cost impact of the delay, such as by workforce management or by a change in sequencing. If the delay is still ongoing at the time the request is submitted, the request should also include Contractor’s plan for continued mitigation of the delay or its effects.
(2) Delay Days and Costs. The request must specify the number of days of Excusable Delay claimed or provide a realistic estimate if the duration of the delay is not yet known. If Contractor believes it is entitled to Recoverable Costs for Compensable Delay, the request must specify the amount and basis for the Recoverable Costs that are claimed or provide a realistic estimate if the amount is not yet known. Any estimate of delay duration or cost must be updated in writing and submitted with all required supporting documentation as soon as the actual time and cost is known. The maximum extension of Contract Time will be the number of days, if any, by which an Excusable Delay or a Compensable Delay exceeds any concurrent Non-Excusable Delay.
Contractor is entitled to an extension of Contract Time, or compensation for Recoverable Costs, only if, and only to the extent that, such delay will unavoidably delay Final Completion. (3) Supporting Documentation. The request must also include any and all supporting documentation necessary to evidence the delay and its actual impacts, including scheduling and cost impacts with a time impact analysis using critical path methodology and demonstrating the unavoidable delay to Final Completion. The time impact analysis must be submitted in a form or format acceptable to City.
(4) Burden of Proof. Contractor has the burden of proving that: the delay was an Excusable or Compensable Delay, as defined above; Contractor has made reasonable efforts to mitigate the delay and its schedule and cost impacts; the delay will unavoidably result in delaying Final Completion; and any Recoverable Costs claimed by Contractor were actually incurred and were reasonable under the circumstances.
(5) Legal Compliance. Nothing in this Section 5.3 is intended to require the waiver, alteration, or limitation of the applicability of Public Contract Code Section 7102. (6) No Waiver. Any grant of an extension of Contract Time, or compensation for Recoverable Costs due to Compensable Delay, will not operate as a waiver of City’s right to assess liquidated damages for Non-Excusable Delay.
(7) Dispute Resolution. In the event of a dispute over entitlement to an extension of Contract Time or compensation for Recoverable Costs, Contractor may not stop working pending resolution of the dispute but must continue to comply with its duty to diligently prosecute the performance and timely completion of the Work. Contractor’s sole recourse for an unresolved dispute based on City’s rejection of a Change Order request for an extension of Contract Time or compensation for Recoverable Costs is to comply with the Dispute Resolution provisions set forth in Article 12 below.
5.4 Liquidated Damages. It is expressly understood that if Final Completion is not achieved within the Contract Time, City will suffer damages from the delay that are difficult to determine and accurately specify. Pursuant to Public Contract Code section 7203, if Contractor fails to achieve Final Completion within the Contract Time, City will charge Contractor in the amount specified in the Contract for each day that Final Completion is delayed beyond the Contract Time, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty.
(A) Liquidated Damages. Liquidated damages will not be assessed for any Excusable or Compensable Delay, as set forth above.
(B) Milestones. Liquidated damages may also be separately assessed for failure to meet milestones specified elsewhere in the Contract Documents.
(C) Setoff. City is entitled to deduct the amount of liquidated damages assessed against any payments otherwise due to Contractor, including unreleased retention. If there are insufficient Contract funds remaining to cover the full amount of liquidated damages assessed, City is entitled to recover the balance from Contractor or its performance bond surety. (D) Occupancy or Use. Occupancy or use of the Project in whole or in part prior to Final Completion does not constitute City’s acceptance of the Project and will not operate as a waiver of City’s right to assess liquidated damages for Contractor’s Non-Excusable Delay in achieving Final Completion.
(E) Other Remedies. City’s right to liquidated damages under this Section applies only to damages arising from Contractor’s Non-Excusable Delay or failure to complete the Work within the Contract Time. City retains its right to pursue all other remedies under the Contract for other types of damage, including damage to property or persons, or for defective materials or workmanship.
ARTICLE 6 - CONTRACT MODIFICATION
6.1 Contract Modification and Changes in Work. Modifications to the Contract are valid and legally binding only if duly authorized by a written and signed Change Order. City may also make changes in the Work without invalidating the Contract. City may direct changes in the Work, which may include Extra Work as set forth in subsection (B) below, or deletion or modification of portions of the Work.
Any change in the Work, whether directed by City or pursuant to Contractor’s request for a Change Order under Section 6.2 below, will not be a valid and binding change to the Contract unless it is formalized in a Change Order, which may include commensurate changes in the Contract Price or Contract Time as applicable. Contractor must promptly comply with City-directed changes in the Work in accordance with the original Contract Documents, even if Contractor and City have not yet reached agreement as to adjustments to the Contract Price or Contract Time for the change in the Work or for the Extra Work. Contractor is not entitled to extra compensation pursuant to Public Contract Code section 7101 based on cost reduction changes or “value engineering,” unless otherwise specified in the Special Conditions, or unless expressly authorized in advance in writing by City. (A) Disputes. In the event of a dispute over entitlement to or the amount of a change in Contract Time or a change in Contract Price related to a City-directed change in the Work, Contractor must perform the Work as directed and may not delay its Work or cease Work pending resolution of the dispute but must continue to comply with its duty to diligently prosecute the performance and timely completion of the Work, including the Work in dispute. In the event that City and Contractor dispute whether a portion or portions of the Work are already required by the Contract Documents or constitute Extra Work, or otherwise dispute the interpretation of any portion(s) of the Contract Documents, Contractor must perform the Work as directed and may not delay its Work or cease Work pending resolution of the dispute, but must continue to comply with its duty to diligently prosecute the performance and timely completion of the Work, including the Work in dispute, as directed by City.
Contractor’s sole recourse for an unresolved dispute related to changes in the Work or performance of any Extra Work is to comply with the dispute resolution provisions set forth in Article 12, below. (B) Extra Work. City may direct Contractor to perform Extra Work related to the Project.
Contractor must promptly perform any Extra Work as directed or authorized by City in accordance with the original Contract Documents, even if Contractor and City have not yet reached agreement on adjustments to the Contract Price or Contract Time for such Extra Work. Contractor must maintain detailed daily records that itemize the cost of each element of Extra Work, and sufficiently distinguish the direct cost of the Extra Work from the cost of other Work performed. For each day that Contractor performs Extra Work, or Work that Contractor contends is Extra Work, Contractor must submit no later than the following Working Day, a daily report of the Extra Work performed that day and the related costs, together with copies of certified payroll, invoices, and other documentation substantiating the costs (“Extra Work Report”). The Engineer will make any adjustments to Contractor’s Extra Work Report(s) based on the Engineer’s records of the Work. When an Extra Work Report(s) is agreed on and signed by both City and Contractor, the Extra Work Report(s) will become the basis for payment under a duly authorized and signed Change Order. Failure to submit the required documentation by close of business on the next Working Day is deemed a full and complete waiver for any change in the Contract Price or Contract Time for any Extra Work performed that day. (C) Remedy for Non-Compliance. Contractor’s failure to promptly comply with a City-directed change is deemed a material breach of the Contract, and in addition to all other remedies available to it, City may, at its sole discretion, hire another contractor or use its own forces to complete the disputed Work at Contractor’s sole expense, and may deduct the cost from the Contract Price.
6.2 Contractor Change Order Requests. Contractor must submit a request or proposal for a change in the Work, compensation for Extra Work, or a change in the Contract Price or Contract Time as a written Change Order request or proposal.
(A) Time for Submission. Any request for a change in the Contract Price or the Contract Time must be submitted in writing to the Engineer within ten calendar days of the date that Contractor first encounters the circumstances, information or conditions giving rise to the Change Order request, even if the total amount of the requested change in the Contract Price or impact on the Contract Time is not yet known at that time. If City requests that Contractor propose the terms of a Change Order, unless otherwise specified in City’s request, Contractor must provide the Engineer with a written proposal for the change in the Contract Price or Contract Time within five working days of receiving City’s request, in a form satisfactory to the Engineer.
(B) Required Contents. Any Change Order request or proposal submitted by Contractor must include a complete breakdown of actual or estimated costs and credits, and must itemize labor, materials, equipment, taxes, insurance, subcontract amounts, and, if applicable, Extra Work Reports.
Any estimated cost must be updated in writing as soon as the actual amount is known. (C) Required Documentation. All claimed costs must be fully documented, and any related request for an extension of time or delay-related costs must be included at that time and in compliance with the requirements of Article 5 of the General Conditions.
(D) Required Form. Contractor must use City’s form(s) for submitting all Change Order requests or proposals, unless otherwise specified by City.
(E) Certification. All Change Order requests must be signed by Contractor and must include the following certification:
“The undersigned Contractor certifies under penalty of perjury that its statements and representations in this Change Order request are true and correct. Contractor warrants that this Change Order request is comprehensive and complete as to the Work or changes referenced herein, and agrees that any costs, expenses, or time extension request not included herein is deemed waived. Contractor understands that submission of claims which have no basis in fact or which Contractor knows to be false may violate the False Claims Act, as set forth in Government Code sections 12650 et seq.”
6.3 Adjustments to Contract Price. The amount of any increase or decrease in the Contract Price will be determined based on one of the following methods, but in the order provided with unit pricing taking precedence over the other methods:
(A) Unit Pricing. Amounts previously provided by Contractor in the form of unit prices, either in a bid schedule or schedule of values, will apply if unit pricing has previously been provided in Contractor’s accepted bid schedule or schedule of values for the affected Work. No additional markup for overhead, profit, or other indirect costs will be added to the calculation. (B) Lump Sum. A mutually agreed upon amount for the affected Work with no additional markup to be added for overhead, profit, or other indirect costs. (C) Time and Materials. On a time and materials basis, including allowed markup for overhead, profit, and all other indirect costs, and which may include a not-to-exceed limit, calculated as the total of the following sums:
(1) All direct labor costs plus 15% markup;
(2) All direct material costs, including sales tax, plus 15% markup; (3) All direct plant and equipment rental costs, plus 15% markup. (4) All direct subcontract costs plus ten percent markup; and (5) Increased bond or insurance premium costs computed at 1.5% of total of the previous four sums.
6.4 Unilateral Change Order. If the parties dispute the terms of a proposed Change Order, including disputes over the amount of compensation or extension of time that Contractor has requested, the value of deleted or changed Work, what constitutes Extra Work, or quantities used, City may elect to issue a unilateral Change Order, directing performance of the Work, and authorizing a change in the Contract Price or Contract Time for the amount of compensation or added time that the City believes is merited.
Contractor’s sole recourse to dispute the terms of a unilateral Change Order is to submit a timely Claim pursuant to Article 12, below.
6.5 Non-Compliance Deemed Waiver. Contractor waives its entitlement to any increase in the Contract Price or Contract Time if Contractor fails to fully comply with the provisions of this Article. Contractor will not be paid for unauthorized Extra Work.
ARTICLE 7 - GENERAL CONSTRUCTION PROVISIONS
7.1 Permits and Taxes.
(A) General. Contractor must obtain and pay for all permits, fees, or licenses required to perform the Work. Contractor must cooperate with and provide notifications to all government agencies with jurisdiction over the Project, as may be required.

ARTICLE 11 - COMPLETION AND WARRANTY PROVISIONS
11.1 Final Completion.
(A) Final Inspection and Punch List. When the Work required by this Contract is fully performed, Contractor must provide written notification to City requesting final inspection. The Engineer will schedule the date and time for final inspection, which must include Contractor’s primary representative for this Project and its superintendent. Based on that inspection, City will prepare a punch list of items that are incomplete, incorrectly installed, or not operating as required by the Contract Documents. The punch list may include City’s estimated cost to complete each punch list item if Contractor fails to do so within the specified time. The omission of any such item from this punch list will not relieve Contractor from fulfilling all requirements of the Contract Documents. City will deliver the punch list to Contractor and will specify the time by which all of the punch list items must be completed or corrected. (B) Requirements for Final Completion. Final Completion will be achieved upon completion or correction of all punch list items, as verified by City inspection, and upon satisfaction of all other Contract requirements, including any commissioning required under the Contract Documents and submission of all final submittals, including a warranty bond as required under Section 4.4, instructions and manuals as required under Section 7.10, and as-built drawings as required under Section 7.11, all to City’s satisfaction.
(C) Acceptance. The Project will be considered accepted upon City Council action during a public meeting to accept the Project, or if the Engineer is authorized to accept the Project, the Project will be considered accepted upon the date of the Engineer’s issuance of a written notice of acceptance. The City may elect, acting in its sole discretion, to accept the Project as complete subject to exceptions for punch list items that are not completed within the time specified in the punch list. (D) Final Payment. Final Payment and release of retention, less any sums withheld pursuant to the provisions of the Contract Documents, will not be made sooner than 35 days after recordation of the notice of completion. If Contractor fails to complete all of the punch list items within the specified time, City may withhold up to 150% of City’s estimated cost to complete each of the remaining items from Final Payment.
11.2 Warranty.
(A) General. Contractor warrants that all materials and equipment will be new unless otherwise specified, of good quality, in conformance with the Contract Documents, and free from defective workmanship and materials. Contractor further warrants that the Work will be free from material defects not intrinsic in the design or materials required in the Contract Documents. At City’s request, Contractor must furnish satisfactory evidence of the quality and type of materials and equipment furnished.
Contractor’s warranty does not extend to damage caused by normal wear and tear, or improper use or maintenance.
(B) Warranty Period. Contractor’s warranty must guarantee its Work for a period of one year from the date of Project acceptance (the “Warranty Period”), except when a longer guarantee is provided by a supplier or manufacturer or is required by the Specifications or Special Conditions. Contractor must obtain from its Subcontractors, suppliers and manufacturers any special or extended warranties required by the Contract Documents.
(C) Warranty Documents. As a condition precedent to acceptance, Contractor must supply City with all warranty and guarantee documents relevant to equipment and materials incorporated into the Work and guaranteed by their suppliers or manufacturers. (D) Subcontractors. The warranty obligations in the Contract Documents apply to Work performed by Contractor and its Subcontractors, and Contractor agrees to be co-guarantor of such Work. (E) Contractor’s Obligations. Upon written notice from City to Contractor of any defect in the Work discovered during the Warranty Period, Contractor or its responsible Subcontractor must promptly correct the defective Work at its own cost. Contractor’s obligation to correct defects discovered during the Warranty Period will continue past the expiration of the Warranty Period as to any defects in Work for which Contractor was notified prior to expiration of the Warranty Period. (F) City’s Remedies. If Contractor or its responsible Subcontractor fails to correct defective Work within ten days following notice by City, or sooner if required by the circumstances, City may correct the defects to conform with the Contract Documents at Contractor’s sole expense. Contractor must reimburse City for its costs in accordance with subsection (H), below. (G) Emergency Repairs. In cases of emergency where any delay in correcting defective Work could cause harm, loss or damage, City may immediately correct the defects to conform with the Contract Documents at Contractor’s sole expense. Contractor or its surety must reimburse City for its costs in accordance with subsection (H), below.
(H) Reimbursement. Contractor must reimburse City for its costs to repair under subsections (F) or (G), above, within 30 days following City’s submission of a demand(s) for payment pursuant to this provision. If City is required to initiate legal action to compel Contractor’s compliance with this provision, and City is the prevailing party in such action, Contractor and its surety are solely responsible for all of City’s attorney’s fees and legal costs expended to enforce Contractor’s warranty obligations herein in addition to any and all costs City incurs to correct the defective Work.
11.3 Use Prior to Final Completion. City reserves the right to occupy or make use of the Project, or any portions of the Project, prior to Final Completion if City has determined that the Project or portion of it is in a condition suitable for the proposed occupation or use, and that it is in its best interest to occupy or make use of the Project, or any portions of it, prior to Final Completion. City will notify Contractor in writing of its intent to occupy or make use of the Project or any portions of the Project, pursuant to this provision.
(A) Non-Waiver. Occupation or use prior to Final Completion will not operate as acceptance of the Work or any portion of it, nor will it operate as a waiver of any of City’s rights or Contractor’s duties pursuant to these Contract Documents and will not affect nor bear on the determination of the time of substantial completion with respect to any statute of repose pertaining to the time for filing an action for construction defect.
(B) City’s Responsibility. City will be responsible for the cost of maintenance and repairs due to normal wear and tear with respect to those portions of the Project that are being occupied or used before Final Completion. The Contract Price or the Contract Time may be adjusted pursuant to the applicable provisions of these Contract Documents if, and only to the extent that, any occupation or use under this Section actually adds to Contractor’s cost or time to complete the Work within the Contract Time.
11.4 Substantial Completion. For purposes of determining “substantial completion” with respect to any statute of repose pertaining to the time for filing an action for construction defect, “substantial completion” is deemed to mean the last date that Contractor or any Subcontractor performs Work on the Project prior to City acceptance of the Project, except for warranty work performed under this Article.

Contractor warrants that this Claim is comprehensive and complete as to the matters in dispute, and agrees that any costs, expenses, or delay claim not included herein are deemed waived. Contractor understands that submission of a Claim which has no basis in fact or which Contractor knows to be false may violate the False Claims Act (Government Code Section 12650 et seq.).”
(C) Submission Deadlines.
(1) A Claim must be submitted within 15 days following the date that City notified Contractor in writing that a request for a change in the Contract Time or Contract Price, duly submitted in compliance with Article 5 and Article 6, has been rejected in whole or in part. (2) With the exception of any dispute regarding the amount of Final Payment, any Claim must be filed on or before the date of Final Payment or will be deemed waived. (3) A Claim disputing the amount of Final Payment must be submitted within 15 days of the effective date of Final Payment, under Section 8.8, above. (4) Strict compliance with these Claim submission deadlines is necessary to ensure that any dispute may be mitigated as soon as possible, and to facilitate cost-efficient administration of the Project. Any Claim that is not submitted within the specified deadlines will be deemed waived by Contractor.
12.3 City’s Response. City will respond within 45 days of receipt of the Claim with a written statement identifying which portion(s) of the Claim are disputed, unless the 45-day period is extended by mutual agreement of City and Contractor or as otherwise allowed under Public Contract Code section 9204.
However, if City determines that the Claim is not adequately documented, City may first request in writing, within 30 days of receipt of the Claim, any additional documentation supporting the Claim or relating to defenses to the Claim that City may have against the Claim. (A) Additional Information. If additional information is thereafter required, it may be requested and provided upon mutual agreement of City and Contractor.
(B) Non-Waiver. Any failure by City to respond within the times specified above may not be construed as acceptance of the Claim in whole or in part, or as a waiver of any provision of these Contract Documents.
12.4 Meet and Confer. If Contractor disputes City’s written response, or City fails to respond within the specified time, within 15 days of receipt of City’s response, or within 15 days of City’s failure to respond within the applicable 45-day time period under Section 12.3, respectively, Contractor may notify City of the dispute in writing sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, and demand an informal conference to meet and confer for settlement of the issues in dispute. If Contractor fails to dispute City’s response in writing within the specified time, Contractor’s Claim will be deemed waived.
(A) Schedule Meet and Confer. Upon receipt of the demand to meet and confer, City will schedule the meet and confer conference to be held within 30 days, or later if needed to ensure the mutual availability of each of the individuals that each party requires to represent its interests at the meet and confer conference.

12.5 Mediation and Government Code Claims.
(A) Mediation. Within ten working days after the City issues the written statement identifying any portion(s) of the Claim remaining in dispute following the meet and confer, City and Contractor will mutually agree to a mediator, as provided under Public Contract Code section 9204. Mediation will be scheduled to ensure the mutual availability of the selected mediator and all of the individuals that each party requires to represent its interests. If there are multiple Claims in dispute, the parties may agree to schedule the mediation to address all outstanding Claims at the same time. The parties will share the costs of mediation equally, except costs incurred by each party for its representation by legal counsel or any other consultants.
(B) Government Code Claims.
(1) Timely presentment of a Government Code Claim is a condition precedent to filing any legal action based on or arising from the Contract.

However, if the Claim is submitted to mediation, the time for filing a Government Code Claim will be tolled until conclusion of the mediation, including any continuations, if the Claim is not fully resolved by mutual agreement of the parties during the mediation or any continuation of the mediation.
12.6 Tort Claims. This Article does not apply to tort claims and nothing in this Article is intended nor will be construed to change the time periods for filing tort-based Government Code Claims.
12.7 Arbitration. It is expressly agreed, under California Code of Civil Procedure section 1296, that in any arbitration to resolve a dispute relating to this Contract, the arbitrator’s award must be supported by law and substantial evidence.
12.8 Damages. Contractor bears the burden of proving entitlement to and the amount of any claimed damages. Contractor is not entitled to damages calculated on a total cost basis, but must prove actual damages. Contractor is not entitled to consequential damages, including home office overhead or any form of overhead not directly incurred at the Worksite; lost profits; loss of productivity; lost opportunity to work on other projects; diminished bonding capacity; increased cost of financing for the Project; extended capital costs; non-availability of labor, material or equipment due to delays; or any other indirect loss arising from the Contract. The Eichleay Formula or similar formula may not be used for any recovery under the Contract.
12.9 Other Disputes. The procedures in this Article 12 will apply to any and all disputes or legal actions, in addition to Claims, arising from or related to this Contract, unless and only to the extent that compliance with a procedural requirement is expressly and specifically waived by City. Nothing in this Article is intended to delay suspension or termination under Article 13.
ARTICLE 13 - SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION
13.1 Suspension for Cause. In addition to all other remedies available to City, if Contractor fails to perform or correct work in accordance with the Contract Documents, City may immediately order the Work, or any portion of it, suspended until the cause for the suspension has been eliminated to City’s satisfaction. (A) Failure to Comply. Contractor will not be entitled to an increase in Contract Time or Contract Price for a suspension occasioned by Contractor’s failure to comply with the Contract Documents. (B) No Duty to Suspend. City’s right to suspend the Work will not give rise to a duty to suspend the Work, and City’s failure to suspend the Work will not constitute a defense to Contractor’s failure to comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents.
13.2 Suspension for Convenience. City reserves the right to suspend, delay, or interrupt the performance of the Work in whole or in part, for a period of time determined to be appropriate for City’s convenience, and not due to any act or omission by Contractor or its Subcontractors. Upon notice by City pursuant to this provision, Contractor must immediately suspend, delay, or interrupt the Work and secure the Project site as directed by City except for taking measures to protect completed or in progress Work as directed in the suspension notice. The Contract Price and the Contract Time will be equitably adjusted by Change Order to reflect the cost and delay impact occasioned by such suspension for convenience. However, the time for completing the Project will only be extended if the suspension causes or will cause delay in Final Completion.
13.3 Termination for Default. Contractor may be deemed in default for a material breach of or inability to perform the Contract, including Contractor’s refusal or failure to supply sufficient skilled workers, proper materials, or equipment to perform the Work within the Contract Time; refusal or failure to make prompt payment to its employees, Subcontractors, or suppliers or to correct rejected work; disregard of laws, regulations, ordinances, rules, or orders of any public agency with jurisdiction over the Project; lack of financial capacity to complete the Work within the Contract Time; or responsibility for any other material breach of the Contract requirements.
(A) Notice. Upon City’s determination that Contractor is in default, City may provide Contractor and its surety written notice of default and intent to terminate the Contract. (B) Termination. Within seven calendar days after notice of intent to terminate for default has been given, unless the default is cured or arrangements to cure the default have been made and memorialized in writing, to City’s satisfaction, City may terminate the Contract by written notice to Contractor with a copy to Contractor’s surety.
(C) Waiver. Time being of the essence in the performance of the Work, if Contractor’s surety fails to arrange for completion of the Work in accordance with the Performance Bond, within seven calendar days from the date of the notice of termination, Contractor’s surety will be deemed to have waived its right to complete the Work under the Contract, and City may immediately make arrangements for the completion of the Work through use of its own forces, by hiring a replacement contractor, or by any other means that City determines advisable under the circumstances. Contractor and its surety will be jointly and severally liable for any additional cost incurred by City to complete the Work following termination. In addition, City will have the right to use any materials, supplies, and equipment belonging to Contractor and located at the Worksite for the purposes of completing the remaining Work. (D) Wrongful Termination. If a court of competent jurisdiction or an arbitrator later determines that the termination for default was wrongful, the termination will be deemed to be a termination for convenience, and Contractor’s damages will be strictly limited to the compensation provided for termination for convenience under Section 13.4, below. Contractor waives any claim for any other damages for wrongful termination including consequential damages, lost opportunity costs or lost profits.
13.4 Termination for Convenience. City reserves the right to terminate all or part of the Contract for convenience upon written notice to Contractor. Upon receipt of such notice, Contractor must:
immediately stop the Work, including under any terms or conditions that may be specified in the notice; comply with City’s instructions to protect the completed Work and materials; and use its best efforts to minimize further costs. Subject to City’s directions in the notice, Contractor must not place further orders or enter into new subcontracts for materials, equipment, services or facilities, except as may be necessary to complete any portion of the Work that is not terminated. Contractor must also promptly cancel all existing subcontracts that relate to performance of the discontinued Work.
A. Compensation to Contractor. In the event of City’s termination for convenience, Contractor waives any claim for damages, including for loss of anticipated profits from the Project. The following will constitute full and fair compensation to Contractor, and Contractor will not be entitled to any additional claim or compensation:
(1) Completed Work. The value of its Work satisfactorily performed to date, based on Contractor’s schedule of values and unpaid costs for items delivered to the Project site that were fabricated for incorporation in the Work;
(2) Demobilization. Actual and substantiated demobilization costs; and (3) Markup. Five percent of the total value of the Work performed as of the date of notice of termination or five percent of the value of the Work yet to be completed, whichever is less, which is deemed to cover all overhead and profit to date.
13.5 Effect of Any Contract Termination. Upon any termination pursuant to this Article, City may enter upon and take possession of the Project and the Work. City may also take possession of, for the sole purpose of completing the Work, all of Contractor’s tools, equipment and appliances, and all materials on the Worksite or stored off the Worksite that will be incorporated in the Work. Regardless of any Contract termination, Contractor’s obligations for portions of the Work already performed will continue and the provisions of the Contract Documents will remain in effect as to any claim, indemnity obligation, warranties, guarantees, submittals of as-built drawings, instructions, or manuals, or other such rights and obligations arising prior to the termination date.
ARTICLE 14 - MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
14.1 Assignment of Unfair Business Practice Claims. Under Public Contract Code section 7103.5, Contractor and its Subcontractors agree to assign to City all rights, title, and interest in and to all causes of action it may have under section 4 of the Clayton Act (15 U.S.C. section 15) or under the Cartwright Act (Chapter 2 (commencing with section 16700) of Part 2 of Division 7 of the Business and Professions Code), arising from purchases of goods, services, or materials pursuant to the Contract or any subcontract. This assignment will be effective at the time City tenders Final Payment to Contractor, without further acknowledgement by the parties.
14.2 Provisions Deemed Inserted. Every provision of law required to be inserted in the Contract Documents is deemed to be inserted, and the Contract Documents will be construed and enforced as though such provision has been included. If it is discovered that through mistake or otherwise that any required provision was not inserted, or not correctly inserted, the Contract Documents will be deemed amended accordingly.
14.3 Waiver. City’s waiver of a breach, failure of any condition, or any right or remedy contained in or granted by the provisions of the Contract Documents will not be effective unless it is in writing and signed by City. City’s waiver of any breach, failure, right, or remedy will not be deemed a waiver of any other breach, failure, right, or remedy, whether or not similar, nor will any waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless specified in writing by City.
14.4 Titles, Headings, and Groupings. The titles and headings used and the groupings of provisions in the Contract Documents are for convenience only and may not be used in the construction or interpretation of the Contract Documents or relied upon for any other purpose.
14.5 Statutory and Regulatory References. With respect to any amendments to any statutes or regulations referenced in these Contract Documents, the reference is deemed to be the version in effect on the date that that bids were due.

4. A statement indicating the substitution's effect on the construction schedule compared to the construction schedule without acceptance of the substitution. Indicate the effect of the proposed substitution on overall contract time.
5. Cost information, including a proposal of the net change, if any, in the Contract Sum.
6. Certification that the substitution is equal to or better in every respect to that required by Contract Documents, and that it will perform adequately in application indicated. Include Contractor's waiver of rights to additional payment or time extensions that may be necessary because of the substitution's failure to perform adequately.
Substitution requests will be considered by the Engineer when the following conditions are satisfied, as determined by the Engineer; otherwise, requests will be returned without action except to record noncompliance with these requirements.
1. Extensive revisions to Contract Documents are not required.
2. Proposed changes are in keeping with the general intent of Contract Documents.
3. The request is timely, fully documented and properly submitted.
4. The specified product or method of construction cannot be provided within the specified Contract Time.
The request may not be considered if the product or method cannot be provided as a result of failure of the Contractor to pursue the work promptly or coordinate activities properly.
5. A substantial advantage is offered the City, in terms of cost, time, energy conservation or other considerations of merit, after deducting offsetting responsibilities the City may be required to bear.
Additional responsibilities for the City may include additional compensation to the Consulting Engineer/Architect for redesign and evaluation services, increased cost of other construction by the City or separate contractors, and similar considerations.
6. The specified product or method of construction cannot receive necessary approval by a regulatory agency, and the requested substitution can be approved.
7. The specified product or method of construction cannot be provided in a manner that is compatible with other materials, and where the Contractor certifies that the substitution will overcome the compatibility.

9. The specified product or method of construction cannot provide a warranty required by the Contract Documents and where the Contractor certifies that the proposed substitution can provide the required warranty.
Submittal of shop drawings, product data or samples that do not comply with the Contract Documents does not constitute a valid request for substitution, nor does it constitute acceptance of a substitution.
The Engineer will notify the Contractor of acceptance or rejection of the proposed substitution within 28 calendar days of receipt. If a decision on use of a substitute cannot be made within these time limits, the product originally specified shall be used.
No extension of contract time will be allowed through your failure to either transmit requests for substitution sufficiently in advance of the work, or on account of processing time outside the time limits noted above.
Should the originally specified materials not be available within the specified contract time due to your failure to order and obtain such materials, you are responsible to provide, install and maintain a temporary “equal” material as approved by the City, and for replacing such temporary material with the required product upon availability.
You are responsible for all costs associated with the installation, maintenance, and removal of the temporary product and the installation of the specified product, including an extended one-year warranty to cover the final product installed. Sufficient funds to cover the purchase and installation of the specified product will be withheld until such work has been completed and accepted by the City.
The use of any material or equipment so offered will be permitted only after written acceptance of the Contractor's offer by the Engineer. Such acceptance by the Engineer shall not relieve the Contractor from full responsibility from the efficiency, sufficiency, and quality, and performance of the substitute material or equipment, in the same manner and degree as the material and equipment specified in the Contract Documents. 3-1.04 SUBMITTALS
This section supplements the requirements of section 5-1.23, “Submittals” of the Standard Specifications.
All submittals must be electronic.
Accompany submittals with a transmittal form. Use a separate form for each item, class of material, equipment, and for items specified in separate specification sections. Submittals for various items shall be made with a single form when the items taken together constitute a manufacturer's package or are functionally related such that expediency indicates checking or review of the group or package as a whole. Assign a sequential number to each submittal and note the number on the transmittal form accompanying each item submitted.
Submittal numbers shall have the following format:
XX.YY (NN-N.NN)
Where:
XX = the sequential submittal number
YY= the sequential number of the submittal (“01” for the first submittal, “02” for the second submittal, etc.)
(NN-N.NN) identifies the specification section number that requires the submittal.
For example, if the twelfth submittal made is the quality control plan for sign panels, as required by section 56-
2.01A, the initial submittal would be 12.01 (56-2.01A). If a re-submittal were required, it would be 12.02 (56-
2.01A).
In general, allow 10 working days for the Engineer’s review of submittals. Allow 20 working days for Engineer’s review of submittals that include shop drawings or calculations.

FURNISHING PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS TO CONTRACTOR
The Contractor shall review, stamp, and sign with his/her approval and submit, with promptness and in orderly sequence so as to cause no delay in the work or in the work of any Contractor, all shop drawings and samples required by the Contract Documents or subsequently by the City Engineer as covered by modifications. Shop drawings and samples shall be properly identified as specified, or as the City Engineer may require. At the time of submission, the Contractor shall especially inform the City Engineer in writing of any deviation in the shop drawings or samples from the requirements of the Contract Documents. (The mere inclusion of the information is not sufficient notice.)
Shop drawings, including manufacturer's literature, catalog cuts, or other printed material shall be entitled with the name of the product on each sheet and shall otherwise be identified by listing the particular Division, Section Article or reference of the work pertaining thereto. Differing items shall not be submitted on the same sheet.
For all shop drawings, submit one reproducible copy with one print of each drawing, rolled in a mailing tube and fully protected for shipment. Provide a clear space of sufficient size for stamping and comments on each shop drawing. For the purpose of these Specifications, a reproducible copy shall mean the original tracing or a legible, double-coated reproducible sepia print, positive side up.
The City Engineer shall annotate and stamp the reproducible and shall forward same to the Contractor’s printer, who shall make and return three prints plus the original tracing to the City Engineer. Additional prints required by the Contractor shall be forwarded to the Contractor.

One copy of a submission shall be returned to the Contractor approved by the City Engineer as noted on the documents. The City Engineer will retain one copy and the remaining one copy will be distributed to the City Inspector.
By approving and submitting shop drawings and samples, the Contractor thereby represents that he/she has determined and verified all field measurements, field construction criteria, materials, catalog number and similar data, or shall do so, and that he/she has checked and coordinated each shop drawing and sample with the requirements of the work and the Contract Documents.
Allow two weeks minimum for review. Allow additional time if processing must be delayed to permit coordination with subsequent submittals. Allow one week for reprocessing each submittal.
No extension of Contract time will be authorized because of failure to transmit submittals sufficiently in advance of the work to permit processing.
The City Engineer shall review and approve any shop drawings and samples with reasonable promptness so as to cause no delay, but only for conformance with the design concept of the project and with the information given in the Contract Documents. The City Engineer's approval of a separate item shall not indicate approval of an assembly in which the item functions.
The Contractor shall make any corrections required by the City Engineer and shall resubmit the required number of corrected copies of shop drawings or new samples until approved. The Contractor shall direct specific attention in writing or on resubmitted shop drawings to revisions other than the correction requested by the City Engineer on previous submissions. Corrected shop drawings shall be resubmitted in the same manner as called for above.
The City Engineer's approval of shop drawings or samples shall not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for any deviation from the requirements of the Contract Documents unless the Contractor has specifically informed the City Engineer in writing of such deviation at the time of the submission, and the City Engineer has given written approval to the specified deviation; nor shall the City Engineer's approval relieve the Contractor form responsibility for errors or omissions in the shop drawings or samples.
No portion of the work requiring a shop drawing submission, including ordering of materials, shall be commenced until the submission has been approved by the City Engineer. All such portions of the work shall be in accordance with approved shop drawings and samples. Any work placed without submittals being made shall be replaced by Contractor at his/her own expense, if directed by the City Engineer. Whenever work is specified to conform to approved samples on file in the City Engineer’s Office, conformance shall be required in all respects and the City Engineer's decision in respect to such conformity shall be final.
Where Specifications require manufacturer's printed installation directions, submit duplicate copies of such directions for approval.
The Contractor shall provide and maintain an up-to-date complete "RECORD DRAWING" record on a separate set of construction Plans which shall show every change from the original drawings and Specifications.
Prints for this purpose may be obtained from the City Engineer. This set of drawings is to be kept on the site and to be used only as a record set.
These Plans shall also serve as work progress sheets, and the Contractor shall make neat and legible annotations thereon daily as the work proceeds, showing the work as actually installed. These drawings shall be available at all times for inspection and to be kept in a location designated by the City Engineer.
On or before the date of final inspection, the Contractor shall deliver the corrected and completed "RECORD DRAWING" to the City Engineer. Contractor shall furnish in duplicate two binders of all manufacturers' literature brochures, manuals, parts list, instructions, etc., for all electrical and mechanical equipment as required to be furnished and installed by the Contractor. Submissions of this literature in a haphazard method will not be acceptable. Failure to submit "RECORD DRAWING" shall be cause to withhold final payment and not accept the project.
The “Record Drawing” shall be accurate and up-to-date with approval of the City Engineer before each progress payment shall be made.
5-1.11 MATERIAL TESTING
The City of San Juan Bautista will not provide any appropriate material or product testing for the project.

One Time Funding from the General Fund Reserve for Special Initiatives Intended to be a catalyst to ignite new programs
Leaves the General Fund Reserve with 10-months of funding - Reduction from $2.263 million (12.5 months) to $1.898 million (10 months); well above the 2.5-month Reserve Policy
City Manager Reynolds stated that based on the City Manger’s Budget Message included in the May 16, 2023 Agenda, and following the introduction of the City draft budget, there is room for limited growth in the new Fiscal Year 23/24. The City’s General Fund Reserve is very strong at more than $3 million. There are significant savings in the current year to off-set losses in other funding sources. Staff has been directed to consider the re-organization of the City Clerk’s duties, and has taken the initiative to consider re-organization of Public Safety. The City needs to update and strengthen its Historic Preservation tools, and needs to support its new endeavor to build a Recreation program. Staff considerations address these matters as are summarized in this report.
The City Council was in support of eliminating private security and adding two new full-time positions: Public Safety Coordinator and Community Service Officer; General Government – add a part time Office Assistant.
The City Council was not in support of a full time Maintenance Worker nor a adding a part time Economic Development Specialist.

CITY OF SAN JUAN BAUTISTA
CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: JULY 18, 2023
DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER
FROM: DON REYNOLDS
BY: DON REYNOLDS
TITLE: RESOLUTION FOR APROVAL OF THE ANNUAL LEVY
CFD NO. 2018-01 (“COPPERLEAF” AND “RANCHO
VISTA” NEIGHBORHOODS)
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1) Open public comment and accept input from the public and consider any comments or questions; and
.
2) Receive a motion to adopt a Resolution Levying the Annual Special Tax for Fiscal Year 2023/24 for Community Facilities District No. 2018-01.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution, increasing the annual levy of special assessments in Fiscal Year 2023/24 for CFD 2018-01 as follows:
Increase Zone 1 (Copperleaf), from $487.68 to $514.98, and Increase Zone 2 (Rancho Vista), from $768.50 to $793.86.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The CFD assessments are paid by each property owner to the County Tax Assessor when the property taxes are paid, and then sent to the City to use to manage the District. These funds have an accounting separate from all other funds, subject to annual review and required to submit an annual report each year.
The CFD Formation report allows for an annual cost-of-living increase and recommends the preferred reserves for each Zone. When reserves are sufficient, the annual cost-of-living increase can be less than the actual inflation rate. Last year the Assessments were not increased but FY 21/22 inflation rate was 4%. This past year, the cost-of-living increased 5.59%.
Page | 2
It is recommended that the Assessment for Zone 1 Copperleaf be increased 5.59%, or $22.30, from $487.68 to $514.98.
It is recommended that Zone 2 Rancho Vista be increased 3.3%, or $25.36 from $768.50 to $793.86.
BACKGROUND:
When the City approves the conditions for a new development, it requires that a service district (Community Facilities District or “CFD”) be established to collect funds from each property owner, and use these funds (“Assessments”) to maintain those common public improvements unique and special to each new community. This includes, but is not limited to, the weekly landscape maintenance, street lighting, streets, and sidewalks. The allowed uses for the funds are defined in the CFD Formation Report provided on the City’s website and made part of the attached proposed Resolution.
On October 16, 2018 the City Council officially formed San Juan Bautista Community Facilities District No. 2018-01 in order to levy a special tax to fund the public services (the “Services”) required to maintain certain public improvements within the boundaries of the CFD pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (Government Code Section 53311 and following) (the “Act”). Both the Copperleaf and Rancho Vista maintenance programs are part of this one district but the costs are estimated separately referred to as “Zone 1” and “Zone 2” respectively.
At the time the District was formed, a “maximum special tax” for each tax area was calculated. In FY 22/23, the rates were set at these maximum rates:
Zone 1 Copperleaf has a maximum tax of $934.39
Zone 2 Rancho Vista has a maximum tax of $1,193.29
In FY 23/24, these maximum rates increased as follows:
Zone 1 Copperleaf has a maximum tax of $986.80
Zone 2 Rancho Vista has a maximum tax of $1,260.09
Before these improvements are built, the Developer deposits a performance bond equal to the estimated cost of the improvements in the Formation Report. This bond is leveraged by the City to assure that these improvements are built to City Engineer’s standards. When accepted by the City, the District and the City then assume responsibility for maintaining the improvements. “Partial Acceptance” can happen when only some of the improvements have been completed (i.e., building a roundabout, stormwater system improvements). If the developer fails to maintain the improvements before the City accepts them, the District can step in before they fall apart.
Over the past three years, the assessments have been building their reserves. This allows for Assessments to be less than the maximum recommended rate. In FY 21/22 Zone 1 was taxed Item: 5.A

$487.68 ($15.82 increase), and Zone 2 was taxed $768.50 ($90.18 increase). For FY 22/23, there was no increase to either Zone.
DISUCSSION
Costs associated with these two CFD’s are split into Operational budgets and Capital Improvement budgets, as provided in the second Attachment. There is a 20% administrative fee for each Zone based on the Operational Budget estimate. Reserves for the Operational Budget are recommended to be 10% of the estimated cost. The Capital Reserves are recommended to be 50% of annual costs after the first five years.
Inflation continues to grow at a pace faster than the 5% increase maximum. For this reason, it is recommended that small increases be considered for FY 23/24. A 5.9% increase is applied to the Operational budgets, each district would need to increases its assessment accordingly to breakeven:
Zone 1 Copperleaf is recommended to be increased 5.59%, or $22.30, from $487.68 to $514.98.
Zone 2 Rancho Vista is recommended to be increased 3.3%, or $25.36 from $768.50 to $793.86.
Copperleaf’s Operational reserves are solid increasing from $4,700 to an estimated $7,800 by June 30, 2024. This exceeds 10% of the annual operational expenses (estimated to be $13,000 in FY 23/24). The Operational reserves in Rancho Vista’s CFD were $7,650 in FY 21/12, and are estimated to be $12,000 by June 30, 2024. This exceeds the 10% recommended for the operation reserve, with an annual Operation expense for FY 23/24 estimated to be $30,000.
Copperleaf’s Capital Reserves have increased $22,500 to $33,482 by June 30, 2024. Rancho Vista’s Capital Reserves have increased from $83,000 to $108,900 by June 30, 2024.
These budgets and proposed increases were shared in two community meetings held May 18 and May 31, 2023. These two meetings were a good opportunity to discuss a variety of issues, in addition to the need to increase the Assessments. Several Councilmembers attended as well.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact to the City of San Juan Bautista.

CITY OF SAN JUAN BAUTISTA
CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: JULY 18, 2023
DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER
FROM: DON REYNOLDS
TITLE: JULY 4 2023 FIREWORKS COMPLIANCE DE-BRIEFING
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
No motion is sought for this Discussion Item.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council review and discuss compliance in the community to the City Council’s Fireworks Resolution 2023-37, during the period beginning June 30, 2023, ending at dawn July 5, 2023.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In October 2022, the City concluded its discussion of different Fireworks policies, and concluded to maintain the same policies in 2023, that it established for 2022, paraphrased and summarized as follows: allow the sale of “safe and sane” fireworks by one non-profit from June 30- July 4, 2023, and the use of “safe and sane” fireworks in the City only on July 4, from Noon to 10 PM. The City Council adopted Resolution 2023-37 June 6, 2023 approving this policy and associated fine schedule. The attached reports from the City’s Code Enforcement Officer, private security, Sheriff and anecdotal conversations with the Fire Marshal and community members that have occurred since July 5, 2023, indicate that the highly visible enforcement and preventative communication effort helped gain good compliance by the community to the City’s fireworks policies.
BACKGROUND:
Following the 4th of July, 2020, the City has considered various strategies to better protect residents from the adverse effects of the noise from fireworks that impacts certain individuals and their pets.
More restrictive policies were considered before and after the 4th of July 2022. Beginning in May, 2022, and lasting until October, 2022, the City considered three different policies. The most restrictive was the banning of both the sale and use of all fireworks in the City. A lengthy deliberation by the Council occurred September 20th around the merits of fireworks and the Resolution to ban all sales and use of fireworks was amended as submitted for first reading, to be comeback at the next meeting for second reading and adoption. At the next regular City Council Page | 2
meeting October 18, 2022, another lengthy deliberation occurred that included members of the High School Booster Club, and the following decision was made:
Designating the appropriate non-profit organization and allowing them to sell fireworks is required to be approved annually. The policy to allow the sale of fireworks to occur prior to and including the 4th of July, limiting the use of fireworks to noon to 10 PM only on the 4th of July remained intact for 2023. In April 18th, 2023, the City adopted Resolution 2023-28, but it contained errors related to the 2022 drought conditions and did not include the time stipulation limiting the use of the fire works to the 4th of July. That Resolution was rescinded and replaced by a corrected Resolution 2023-37 on June 6, 2023 (attached).
DISCUSSION
On May 24, 2023, the City Manager and Fire Marshall attended a webinar sponsored by the League of California Cities concerning fireworks polices. Approximately 300 persons attended, mostly representing fire personnel including several Fire Chiefs. A lot of frustrated fire fighters expressed their concerns and their city’s struggle with the proliferation of fireworks, the continued growth of illegal fireworks, and the general drunkenness and recklessness that surrounds parties where the use of fireworks occurs. Some cities that banned all fireworks expressed that it worked at first, but the problem was returning and growing worse. Most agreed that enforcing policies needed to be done with armed safety officers due to the reckless behavior. But the most significant enforcement tool is the ability to cite property owners, rather than individuals. The result of this policy is the use of fireworks then moves to the street or other public property.
The City’s policy is close to “best practices,” as it seems to be reasonable to allow some use of the fireworks on this holiday, and to allow the non-profit to benefit from the sale of fireworks. The key phrase in the policy is establishing a “Host Ordinance” where the property owners can be held responsible for the use of fireworks on their properties. Special “Host Liability Language” will help defeat citation appeals. Notices to rental property associations, and property management firms can help with compliance at apartment buildings and other shared housing. It is recommended that the Fire Chief and City Attorney review this language in the City’s policies well before the 4th of July 2024.
Attached are the reports received regarding the compliance and enforcement of the City’s policies between June 30, and dawn on July 5th 2023. For this discussion, the Fire Chief, Sheriff, and Code enforcement will be present to describe the event, the attached reports, how the policies were implemented, their effectiveness, and the public’s response.
In general, this year’s implementation of the fireworks policies was effective. Having the same policy two consecutive years helps everyone understand the shared expectations. The public’s use of fireworks may never be completely eliminated, but at least there was compliance by most. Two Item: 7.B

citations were written, and there were no local fires to report. Most of the noise ended before 10 P.M. The outcome may be different when the 4th falls on a weekend. The Fire Chief and City Manager need to follow the best practices and make certain the City has the strongest policy it can have.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The outreach, cameras, fencing, banners, and extra private security have been budgeted at $6,000, and this is close to the cost of the 2023 enforcement effort. Invoices are still being collected for 2024, and a final cost has not been determined.

Great job by code enforcement and the Kysmet security team. The presence of those two combined with the Sheriff’s deputies provided much needed support and security. I have been approached in town by several residents and business owners who advised me that they were pleased with the enforcement of the fireworks.
It has been a pleasure working with the city of San Juan Bautista. In the short amount of time, we have been working together, we have been able to provide stellar service for the residents and business owners. The future looks bright for us as we continue to keep the streets of San Juan Bautista safe and secure.

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Appoint a delegate and an alternate voting delegate for the annual League of California Cities General Assembly on policy resolutions and further authorize the City’s delegate to vote on the Cal Cities’ proposed policy resolutions.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The League of California Cities 2023 Annual Conference and Expo is scheduled for September 20-22, 2023 in Sacramento California. A voting delegate is a councilmember that will be representing the City of San Juan Bautista at the General Assembly. Delegates during the General Assembly will be voting on resolutions, which if approved, become Cal Cities policy.
Voting delegates need to attend the full conference (September 20-22, 2023) through the General Assembly, which takes place on Fridays of the annual conference.
The General Assembly is a meeting of the collective body of all voting delegates — one from every member city. During the General Assembly, voting delegates debate and consider general and petitioned resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions Committee. Potential Cal Cities bylaws amendments are also considered at the General Assembly meeting.
BACKGROUND:
Seven Policy Committees meet throughout the year to review and recommend positions to take on bills and regulatory proposals. Policy committees include members from each Cal Cities 2 diversity caucus, regional division, municipal department, as well as individuals appointed by the Cal Cities president.

TO: Mayors, Council Members, City Clerks, and City Managers RE: DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES
League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Sept. 20-22, 2023, Sacramento SAFE Credit Union Convention Center
Every year, the League of California Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.
Taking place on Sept. 22, the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.
To cast a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.
Please complete the attached voting delegate form and email it to Cal Cities office no later than Monday, August 28.
New this year, we will host a pre-conference information session for voting delegates to explain their role. Submitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide preconference communications with voting delegates.
Please view Cal Cities’ event and meeting policy in advance of the conference.
Action by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. When completing the attached Voting Delegate form, please attach either a copy of the council resolution that reflects the council action taken or have your city clerk or mayor sign the form affirming that the names provided are those selected by the city council.
Please note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.
Council Action Advised by August 28, 2023
Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they may register for Friday only. Conference registration is open on the Cal Cities website.
For a city to cast a vote, one voter must be present at the General Assembly and in possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool. Voting delegates and alternates need to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the voting delegate card at the voting delegate desk. This will enable them to receive the special sticker on their name badges that will admit the voting delegate into the voting area during the General Assembly.
Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting delegate card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find themselves unable to attend the General Assembly, they may not transfer the voting card to another city official.
Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.
The voting delegate desk, located in the conference registration area of the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center in Sacramento, will be open at the following times:
Wednesday, Sept. 20, 8:00 a.m.- 6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Sept. 21, 7:30 a.m.- 4:00 p.m. On Friday, Sept. 22, the voting delegate desk will be open at the General Assembly, starting at 7:30 a.m., but will be closed during roll calls and voting.
The voting procedures that will be used at the conference are attached to this memo.
Please share these procedures and this memo with your council and especially with the individuals that your council designates as your city’s voting delegate and alternates.
Once again, thank you for completing the voting delegate and alternate form and returning it to Cal Cities office by Monday, Aug. 28. If you have questions, please contact Zach Seals at [email protected].

Sixty days before the
Annual Conference and
Expo, Cal Cities members
may submit policy
proposals on issues of
importance to cities. The
resolution must have the concurrence
of at least five additional member cities
or individual members.
How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions
Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure that we are representing California cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policy that erodes local control.
The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how Resolutions and the General Assembly works.
The petitioned resolution
is an alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during the
annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of member
cities, and submitted to the Cal Cities
President at least 24 hours before the
beginning of the General Assembly.
Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities President
assigns general resolutions
to policy committees where
members review, debate,
and recommend positions for
each policy proposal. Recommendations are
forwarded to the Resolutions Committee.
Who’s who
The Resolutions
Committee includes
representatives from
each Cal Cities diversity
caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.
Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.
The General Assembly
is a meeting of the
collective body of
all voting delegates —
one from every
member city.
Seven Policy
Committees meet
throughout the year to
review and recommend
positions to take on
bills and regulatory
proposals. Policy
committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division,
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.
During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions Committee.
Potential Cal Cities bylaws amendments are also
considered at this meeting.
Cal Cities policy
development is a
member-informed
process, grounded
in the voices and
experiences of city
officials throughout
the state.
For more information visit www.calcities.org/general-assembly Prior to the Annual Conference and Expo
Resolutions Committee
The Resolutions Committee
considers all resolutions.
General Resolutions approved1
by either a policy committee
or the Resolutions Committee
are next considered by the General
Assembly. General resolutions not approved,
or referred for further study by both a policy
committee and the Resolutions Committee
do not go the General Assembly. All
Petitioned Resolutions are considered by the
General Assembly, unless disqualified.2
• Voting delegates will receive increased communications to prepare them for their role during the General Assembly.
• The General Assembly will take place earlier to allow more time for debate and discussion.
• Improvements to the General Assembly process will make it easier for voting delegates to discuss and debate resolutions.
What’s new in 2023?
During the Annual Conference and Expo
1 The Resolution Committee can amend a general resolution prior to sending it to the General Assembly. 2 Petitioned Resolutions may be disqualified by the Resolutions Committee according to Cal Cities Bylaws Article VI. Sec. 5(f).

The Business Forum discussion focused on the need for 1) enhanced resources for local business development and support; 2) organized communication and follow up with staff and City Council regarding these concerns, and 3) ongoing liaison and follow up with economic development resources in San Benito County and through State and Federal agencies.
In September 2021, Mayor Jordan asked that this discussion be placed on the City Council agenda for discussion and possible direction to staff, resulting in formation of the EDCAC. The attached report contains and brief history of the formation of the EDCAC, followed by a report and recommendations prepared by three subcommittees established by the EDCAC as working groups to address various aspects of economic development.
DISCUSSION:
The 11 - member (as constituted) EDCAC provides an invaluable filter to identify economic development connections and relationships initiatives most helpful to the City’s business and overall economic outlook. The EDCAC has struggled at times, but prevailed collaboratively to achieve a unified set of prescriptions capable of evolving a local strategy.
Item #9.B
City Council Meeting
July 18, 2023
2 Nonetheless, the Committee, through the activities of its subcommittees, ultimately over-reached beyond the intent of the City Council; i.e. subcommittee members have developed and implemented specific programs well ahead of City Council acknowledgement, direction and assignment of administrative support. In a few instances lines have been blurred between private or individual member interests and those local public interest initiatives that require support from strategic and leveraged grant funding or the City’s general fund. These are not negative results; it means that aspirations of Committee members for the City, commitment, and excitement among members regarding a new way of looking community health and economic resilience, and communication between EDCAC members, its subcommittees and community affiliates is at a very high level. The EDCAC was designed to accommodate this sort of integrated outreach, as a way of enriching the Committee’s knowledge base necessary for informed recommendations to the City Council.
Further Discussion Items: As the Committee goes forward staff recommends that the City Council request that the EDCAC incorporate the following measures:
1. EDCAC more frequently (quarterly) involve the City Council in dialogue;
2. Prioritize and report EDCAC subcommittee recommendations, endorsed by the Committee as a whole, as a set of economic development policies and implementation programs for reference in the SJB Economic Development Strategy Plan and General Plan;
3. Continue to work to evolve relationships using resources referenced in the City’s 2023-24 Budget;
4. Reemphasize and confirm the valuable role of each subcommittee, as currently constituted.
Staff recommends that the existing EDCAC subcommittees demonstrate the continued ability to work to accomplish their objectives in the manner established by the EDCAC. In particular, staff recommends that the City Council direct the EDCAC to ensure that working subcommittees are integrated, interdependent and mutually supportive.

San Juan Bautista Economic Development Citizens Advisory Committee Overview Of Activities and Report 2022-23
With Recommendations
Formation, Organization and Support
The City Council formally established the Economic Development Citizens Advisory Committee (EDAC) via Resolution 2021-65 in November 2021 in response to a desire by the business community to establish a formal, organized approach to addressing business improvement, resiliency, and overall economic development in San Juan Bautista. The focus at the time was on 1) enhanced resources for local business development and support; 2) organized communication and follow up with staff and City Council regarding these concerns, and 3) ongoing liaison and follow up with economic development resources in San Benito County and through State and Federal agencies.
The need for organized community input to the then impending San Benito County Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) was cited a persuasive reason to establish the EDCAC. The importance of the EDCAC in addressing economic development initiatives for the benefit of the SJB community remains significant with the ongoing development of the Comprehensive Economic Recovery Fund (CERF) program. This top down economic development planning exercise is paving the way for funding economic development projects at the local San Benito County and SJB City levels.
EDCAC was established as a “standing committee” , first with 7 members and then subsequently increased membership to 11 members shortly thereafter via Resolution 2021-74.
Subsequent resolutions have been adopted recognizing member resignations and appointments; however, despite several opportunities to do so, the City Council’s intent and the assigned activities have not been amended in any way.
The City Council determined that organized, ongoing and formal communication regarding economic development requires a concerted partner-driven effort involving local education, the arts and culture, education, transportation, land development, public and private investment priorities, marketing and promotion. To accomplish this objective, the City Council established the EDCAC as a “standing committee” with the following purpose:
1) Stimulate the provision of enhanced resources for local business development and support; Community Resource Committee Annual Report | 2
2) Establish and maintain communication with City staff and City Council regarding business support, development, and overall economic development; 3) Establish and maintain an ongoing liaison with economic development resources in San Benito County and State and Federal agencies.
To accomplish this purpose, the City Council directed the EDCAC to conduct activities including but not limited to the following:
1) Host an active forum for exchange of ideas and information and otherwise reach out to the business community, residents, and visitors to promote business development; 2) Evaluate and determine the economic needs of the business community and residents; 3) Interact proactively with a broad spectrum of economic development interests; 4) Recommend strategies to the City Council to provide resources directly to local businesses.
A standing committee of this sort, distinguished from an ad hoc committee, is subject to the Brown Act (Government Code Section 54952) and also the “Maddie Act” (Government Code Section 54970 et seq) designed to increase public awareness of appointments made by the City Council and to provide the local legislative bodies access to critical talent resources that would otherwise go unused. This type of committee is subject to specific reporting requirements regarding appointments, terms and qualifications of committee members. Staff resources are necessary to support such committees, including preparation of the list of appointees, management of agendas and minutes, arrangement of resources, research, report preparation, and meeting facilitation, and implementation, via grants and staffing, of programs and activities.
The EDCAC adopted Bylaws on December 21, 2022.
(EDCAC meetings are recorded video meetings, and agendas, minutes and videos can be accessed on the City’s website at the following location: Welcome to San Juan Bautista, CA (san-juanbautista.ca.us)) This model is precisely what the Business Forum participants suggest is an important objective for the committee - a way to bring information, resources, and feedback to the City Council that would otherwise be difficult to access or obtain. Information and resources would be expected to come to the committee from staff, advisors, and committee research and outreach for organized presentation to the City Council.
The EDCAC has been supported from the beginning, at nearly every meeting, by a dedicated and knowledgeable technical advisory group (“advisors”) group of economic development professionals via the San Benito County Economic Development Corporation (Renee’ Wells) and Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GoBiz: Danna Stroud and Brian Community Resource Committee Annual Report | 3
Coleman). Staff at the Monterey Bay Economic Partnership (MBEP) recently joined with GoBiz staff to provide support in connecting key resources discussed later in this report.
To date, the EDCAC has functioned without specific budget as a general fund expenditure as a Community Development Department Program.
The EDCAC very quickly understood the importance of establishing both a Mission Statement aligned with the City Council’s statement of purpose and of establishing a San Juan Bautista Vision statement as a way of ensuring that the Committee would work toward results that are aligned with the community values and long-term aspirations. The following are EDCAC Mission and City Vision statements adopted by the EDCAC to guide the work of the Committee and to frame recommendations to the City Council:
EDCAC MISSION STATEMENT
The San Juan Bautista EDCAC’s Mission is to engage, support and attract local business to create a sustainable, diverse community that promotes, increases and sustains economic opportunities and success, facilitates and promotes community activities that attract local citizens and visitors alike, and improves the quality of life in San Juan Bautista.
EDCAC VISION (statement) OF SAN JUAN BAUTISTA
San Juan Bautista is a small, welcoming City with a vibrant economy that is surrounded by protected and conserved open space. The City is enriched through preservation of its historical resources and creative expression through the arts and within its public places.
The City rests on a rural foundation that celebrates diversity, connectivity and supports residents and visitors alike with quality services and amenities within a well-developed central business district, a new employment center, and well-maintained neighborhoods. These attributes are made possible through education at all levels, focused government programs, and enlightened and compassionate governance.
Key work products attached as exhibits to this report explain the process used to derive these statements, including a member questionnaire, organized discussion of key topics of concern derived from the questionnaire, content analysis by staff of alternatives (interpretive guide) and finally a limited menu of preferred statements from which the above statements were derived.
These statements are the result of a successful EDCAC practice of establishing subcommittees to set the stage for action by full EDCAC.
Community Resource Committee Annual Report | 4
SUBCOMMITTEES
The depth and variety of the topics in the member responses to the questionnaire prompted staff and advisors to work with the Committee to establish subcommittees arranged by key topics derived from the City Council Resolution and the Mission and Vision Statements.
The EDCAC thereafter shifted the most significant work of the EDCAC to these subcommittees, with coordination by the EDCAC of subcommittee findings and recommendations during monthly meetings. Due to Brown Act requirements, such a structure prompted the EDCAC to establish rules of member conduct within and between subcommittees and with the EDCAC.
The EDCAC determined that all voting members must participate in one of three (3) subcommittees, with a requirement that not more than a quorum of EDCAC members may serve on an individual subcommittee, no member may serve on more than one subcommittee, and committee members may not discuss their work with members of other subcommittees outside an EDCAC meeting.
Each subcommittee has been responsible to develop an agenda, methods and cultivate resources necessary to accomplish their objective.
The work of subcommittees, taken together, are the basis for development of a local economic development strategy that can then be integrated with the City’s Economic Development planning, County CEDS program, CA GoBiz CERF program, and other ED programs.
The following are subcommittee roles, responsibilities membership and recommendations of each subcommittee
I. Economic Development Outreach Subcommittee (2022 members: Darlene Boyd, Lizz Sanchez-Turner, Fran Fitzharris; 2023 Members: Leslie Jordan, Fran Fitzharris, Lizz Sanchez - Turner) :
A.

Community Resource Committee Annual Report | 5
• Previously Appointed Members: Luke Kerbs (resigned); Beverly Meamber (resigned); Darlene Boyd (appointed to Community Relations and Resources subcommittee) B. Recommendations of the Outreach Subcommittee for the 2023 SJB EDCAC Outreach subcommittee researched nearly 40 organizations to obtain an idea of who might be positioned to:
1- Offer grants that may be pertinent to our planning – what are our priorities? 2- Might become suitable partners with our plans – what are our priorities? 3- Tools to guide us through the planning processes to create & review priorities, including sustainability.

C. EDCAC Adopted Outreach Recommendations
1. City Council
Immediately update the City Community Center to a variable use facility. (i.e.: sound proofing, installing WIFI access, white board(s) projector, zoom live stream camera, microphone(s) for use by city committees and other organizations. Create a “Room Request Form” and calendar and access protocols for use.
2. Planning Commission
Legislate for the Historic Downtown Business zone property owners to maintain certain building and upgrade standards for appearance, safety, useability of space and timeliness of vacancies to help support city infrastructure and services to benefit the City, property owners, attract upscale tenants and economic development.
3. SJBBA (staff note: formerly San Juan Committee)
o Prepare actuary of city grants and statistical analysis upon the impact of advocacy efforts, marketing, and visitor attraction to our city. o Consider hiring a part/full-time social media producer and coordinator to attract visitors to our city/region. Use of grants with developing plans to sustain this position.
4. 2023 EDCAC planning
o Create a handbook for EDCAC members to allow for easy access to organizational expectations and processes as well as updating subcommittees and other task force formations and activities.
o Do a review of the Brown Act as presented to the City Council and the Planning Commission. Include this slide presentation and any updates in the handbook.
Community Resource Committee Annual Report | 7
o Study the SJB Strategic Plan to determine areas in which to pursue assistance, grants, partnerships. Brainstorm ideas, choose best ones to pursue. o Find funding sources ( and partners) that fit our priorities, rather than shaping our priorities to fit funding sources (and partners).
o Urge Business Development and Retention subcommittee to create a work plan (Pg. 18 in Revitalizing Main Street), including timelines, assignments, itemized budget if needed, pertinent data, and evaluation (benchmarks) procedure. Also read and adopt significant ideas of the book Recast Your City by Ilana Preuss.
Also review “Why Business Retention and Expansion Plans are Important for Downtowns” at https://www.mainstreet.org/blogs/national-main-streetcenter/2017/05/24/why-business-retention-and-expansion-plans-are-importantfor-downtowns. o Urge both Business Development and Retention and Community Relations and Resources subcommittee to review the Community Heart & Soul grant ( i.e.:
seed funds to establish the CHS community engagement model in your district; https://www.mainstreet.org/howwecanhelp/fundingopportunities) and MobileT grants (https://www.t-mobile.com/brand/hometown-grants).
II. Business Development and Retention subcommittee (3 members: Heliena Walton, Patricia Bains, Stephanie Correia ):
A. Role and Responsibility: This committee will take a hard and critical look to develop recommendations for establishing and enhancing business development and retention tools and practices in the City. The focus will be on the experience of prospective, new, and existing business interactions with the City, County, State and economic development entities to achieve stability and success.
• Current Appointed members: Heliena Walton, Patricia Bains, Stephanie Correia, Deanna Snyder;
• Previously Appointed Members: Fran Fitzharris (appointed to Outreach subcommittee)
B. The Business Development & Retention Sub-Committee Recommendations:
1. Update the City's website with a tab for business resources to make it user-friendly for potential businesses and resources for new and existing companies to utilize with actionable intel. We should have periodic workshops, such as the one provided by GoBiz, to educate and instruct our businesses regarding available resources and to stay up to date with emerging business support resources.
Community Resource Committee Annual Report | 8
2. It would be helpful to have a list of strategic alliances with community-based organizations, County and even State resources. For instance, we can partner with a Business Association and have a Business Resource Center in the heart of downtown.
Use the GoBiz model of providing information locally that will benefit local businesses.
3. Create a strategic plan for our new Business District and implement outsourced resources with the core competency to accomplish the goals. One measure of such a strategy would be to create disincentives for vacant buildings in Downtown.
4. Create a healthy City with Tourism which is a critical component to maintaining existing businesses and attracting new businesses to our City. We need to create a business retention and expansion plan. One way to do this is to create a marketing tool that emphasizes San Juan Bautista charm, such as a “San Juan Bautista Insider” magazine.
5. The revitalization of the main street is essential, whether we use Retail Strategies or piggyback on some options with the downtown Main Street program. Whatever source(s) are chosen, the bottom line is that we need professional assistance in order to reach our desired goal. The City should invest in a staff person that is contracted specifically to work directly and closely with local businesses and groups to accelerate ED.
6. There should be a program to support rehabilitation, including seismic retrofit of historic resources (via Mills Act tax credit program and grant funding) of buildings in the Downtown. Downtown revitalization should result in a greater diversity of restaurants and lodging.
7. We need to develop and maintain a social presence and marketing strategies with quantitative and qualitative rates with measurable outcomes.
8. We need to create on-boarding experience(s) around”aha” moments. A prime example would be partnering with the State Park to do re-enactments and maintain a consistent presence on the main street. The concept would be to ensure that activities at the State Park and the Mission filter into the Downtown in a significant way.
9. We need to create strategic alliances around tourism with Tour Bus Companies and create actionable moments. Revitalization must be accompanied by a reimagined and vibrant social atmosphere for locals that visitors would enjoy participating in.
For example, some of the things that are in the planning stages through one of our partners will be a “Murder Mystery” for the City which will create a “buzz” and draw in new people to participate in functions. These types of events will bring Community Resource Committee Annual Report | 9
excitement as well as anticipation of things to come.
10. We have identified some funding sources to support our efforts; however, we need a Grant Writer in order to gain access to the additional funding options such as Grants, funding from City, County, State and Federal sources.
11. We would like to work with the San Juan Committee to identify marketing benchmarks in the effectiveness of our current marketing strategy. It would be great to have a facilitated retreat with the San Juan Committee and the SJB Business Association to create a cohesive and mutually supportive, unified strategy.
III. Community Relations and Resources subcommittee (3 members):
A. Role and Responsibilities: This subcommittee will look ways to enhance the SJB Community with relationships and resources necessary to support the health, safety and well-being of City residents and business owners/employees, including creative placemaking, parks and recreation, business and resident collaborative groups, active transportation support amenities, the arts, security (connections with the safety committee) and health and wellness community and neighborhood activities and events. Appointed Members: Teresa Lavagnino, Kim Calame, Darlene Boyd; Previously Appointed Members: Rosa Velez (resigned); Kristina Hastings (resigned); Stephanie Correia (appointed to Business Development and Retention subcommittee) B. Subcommittee Report Summary:
Community Engagement This report reflects the work lead by the Community Resources sub- Committee of EDCAC. The committee is apprised of three volunteers from within the SJB community that strive to facilitate a process leading to a community- driven community recreation program. Rather than reformat the report delivered to the EDCAC and approved, the Community Relations and Resources Report is Attachment 1, as submitted.
The work of this subcommittee focusses on the health of residents and employees via recreation as a means of enhancing quality of life and establishing San Juan Bautista as a desirable place to live and invest in the future (see the attached subcommittee full report).

C O M M U N I T Y E N G A G E M E N T
Community engagement is essential to building support for developing a community recreation program. As a small community, our physical and structural resources that are available for recreation programming are limited. By leveraging the support of the community through engagement, we can benefit from a variety of individual, non-profit, commercial and government resources.
M E E T I N G 1
Our first meeting hosted 18 people from a variety of backgrounds. We talked about the benefits that a community recreation program can bring to a community. We brainstormed the recreational activities that people were looking for in our community. We also developed a big idea form that anyone could complete. These were available at a variety of locations around SJB.
In summary, we want it all!
In introductions, each person introduced themselves and talked about how recreation programs have influenced their lives. There were a variety of different recreation interests, including sports, music, fitness, wellness, aquatics, field trips, camps, free programs, events, and more. We also discussed:
“How Community Recreation can benefit a community?”
• Connects and brings a community together including the Mission, the School District, and local and regional business partners. • Improvesthe health and wellness of people within the community. • Providesskill-building and socialization in a positive environment. • Delivers life-long learning opportunities.
• Can support localsocial problems (drug use, mental health, nutritional support, builds confidence, obesity, etc.)
• Provides positive activitiesfor all ages.
• Builds economic development through events, programs, and activities.
• Recreation provides a conduit for Social Equity through free and reduced fee programs.
• Connects communities with local business through sponsorships/ partnerships.
• Increases tourism.
• Escalates economic development.
• In recreation, sportsmanship matters.
• Recreation can work with other agencies to provide services, (Meals on Wheels, Shuttle services, etc.)
• Celebrates Cultural Events.

In this meeting, about a third of the attendees were also at the first meeting, We had a total of 19 attendees. We reviewed the results of our activity brainstorm, and we reviewed the results of the survey and the ideas collected in the Big Idea form. We had a solid variety of interests represented in this meeting and a strong interest to get some going as soon as possible.
There were community members that have been at each meeting and representatives that can connect us with sponsorship/partnership opportunities.
M E E T I N G 3
We had 17 attendees at this meeting, many of them were new and leaders within their organizations. In this meeting, we had several new advocates including representatives from the city council, the school district, non-profit leaders, and state parks. We provided a summary of all our meetings and reviewed the results of focus group question 1-4. Then, we divided into focus groups and completed discussion for focus group questions 5-6. Finally, we asked for volunteers to help us develop systems, programs and administrative policies and processes.

The first phase of the Community Recreation Project was to connect and to create engagement opportunities with people that see the benefits that come with community recreation. While we identified “Dream” as the “first phase”, that doesn’t mean the dreaming ever stops.
We will always seek input and feedback throughout all our processes as we move toward the next phases,
DEVELOP, then, DELIVER!

“It is a right, not just a privilege,
for people nationwide to have
safe healthful access to parks
and recreation…regardless of
income level, ethnicity, gender,
ability or age.” Cities across the
nation are beginning to
incorporate the value of social
equity into their parks and
recreation planning.
Free and reduced fee-based
programs and activities are
strong components on the path
to social equity in recreation.
Social Equity in Recreation
Providing access to parks and recreational
opportunities to all members of a
community is a critical opportunity for
enhancing social sustainability within a
community. Parks promote physical activity
and promotes mental wellness in addition
to decreasing crime rates. In local
governments across the nation,
consideration of social equity in parks and
recreation operations lie on a broad
spectrum. The Department of Parks and
Recreation at the City of Sacramento,
California has its own sustainability
plan based on the Triple Bottom Line
principle including social equity. This strategy
is something we should explore in the
Develop Phase.
In other communities, public serviceoriented leadership strives to provide low or no cost recreational programs to allow
greater access.
We must address these concepts as a
foundation to building our Community
Recreation Program.
Community Resource Committee Annual Report | 10
DEVELOP
We are now recruiting volunteers/advocates to build
program priorities, foundations, and schedules, and to help develop an administrative structure and processes with the city, develop funding strategies, and meet with potential partners and sponsors.
Once we recruit support, we will start working through all the steps necessary to building a community recreation
program. Our next meeting with be April/May.
Recreation
makes
life
Better.
DELIVER
Feedback has been consistent. People want to get something going so our community can see it and get excited about new recreational opportunities for the SJB community.
While we have some serious work in developing our values, infrastructure, administrative processes, volunteers and staff recruitment, there are programs that we can start very
soon…. the low hanging fruit. We will collate all the existing programs and work to promote them by season/quarter and send them to the community through an eblast.
To deliver a sustainable community recreation program, we need to think out of the box! We need to ask for more than we think we deserve and be creative in developing
sustainable funding strategies while attaining strong
partnerships and sponsorships. We can build our own unique model.
Community Resource Committee Annual Report | 11
The Little Town that could,
should, and will…
Phase 2 and 3, Develop and Deliver, will and can go hand in hand. We can develop as we go.
It will be a process, but with patience and support from our community, our local and regional government leadership, schools, and our business community, we can design an

The End…and the BEGINNING!
Parks and Recreation is more than just fun and games. It becomes the heartbeat of a community and provides a conduit to skill building, arts, improved health, wellness, sports, events, and socialization for all ages! Community Recreation raises the quality of life within a community, and it increases opportunities for tourism, and local businesses. “If change is to be, it’s up to you and me.”
“Dreams are simply goals with wings.” Charles Jordan, Parks, and Recreation The BENEFITS ARE ENDLESS!

DRAFT Recruitment letter for Task Force members.
Dear Friends of the Community Recreation Project
My name is Kim Calame and many of you have shown interest or have participated in our effort to create a Community Recreation program. We have made good progress. We have hosted three community engagement meetings that included residents, business owners, school leadership, non-profit leadership, state parks, and local government representatives. In addition, we have surveyed and discussed what members of the community want to see in a Community Recreation program, and we have developed a mechanism for individuals to give us their “Big Ideas”.
Finally, we have had great discussions on key topics that will impact how we approach Community Recreation programs.
You may remember our tagline: Dream, Develop, Deliver! We have been dreaming since October 2023 and now we are moving to the next phase, Develop.
There are only three of us on the Community Resource Committee facilitating this project. We need your time, your knowledge, and your energy to keep our momentum moving forward to make this a reality. We have three groups that will be meeting to start working through programming priorities, administrative structures, policies and processes.
The first task force is the Programming Committee, led by Teresa with my support.
Identify low hanging fruit-look at Youth, Teen, Adult (Bring existing programs together to promote) Discussion: Transitioning existing programs under a Parks & Recreation umbrella Develop 1st quarterly eblast to provide recreation program information for existing programs by quarter Teen Council
Develop behavior contract
Develop participant waiver
Develop registration process for new recreation
Identify available spaces by quarter Fall, Winter, Summer, Spring Volunteer Guidelines/Recruitment strategies/Background check
The second taskforce is Administration Development, led by Kim and Darlene, who will take the lead on the Strategic Funding Task Force with my support.
Identify Administrative Reporting Structure
Research current city policies/permitting rules for park/facility usage Meet with students
Work with city to develop systems (program registration, website, FaceBook, GoFundMe, etc.) Develop SJB Community Recreation Report
Identify potential grants, sponsors and partners and make contact Work with grant writer to identify project scope, etc.
Develop a presentation package for funding support
Connect with SBC P&R Foundation (represent)
Present to Rotary other local agencies
Of course, this isn’t EVERYTHING! Each working committee will prioritize, research, and work together to develop different areas. We need people that are currently active and/or that are interested in recreational programs. We need people that represent a variety of our community’s needs. We also need folks with administrative and managerial background, and we need people who can get excited about developing funding strategies.
Join us to making our Community Recreation Project a reality! Please give us your time! Once we get a list of interest, we will survey everyone for the best times to meet. If you are interested in any level of participation, please reply to this email with indicate which area, Programming or Administrative Development/ Funding Strategies. Make sure I have the email that you want for communication and a phone number.
