3.Workers’ Compensation: as required by the State of California, with Statutory Limits, and Employer’s Liability Insurance with limit of no less than $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury or disease.

Other Insurance Provisions
The insurance policies are to contain, or be endorsed to contain, the following provisions:

Additional Insured Status
The CITY, its elected and appointed officials, employees, and agents are to be covered as insureds on the CGL policy with respect to liability arising out of work or operations performed by or on behalf of the CONTRACTOR including materials, parts or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations.

General liability coverage can be provided in the form of an endorsement to the CONTRACTOR’s insurance (at least as broad as ISO Form CG 20 10, 11 85 or both CG 20 10 and CG 20 37 forms if later revisions used).

CONTRACTOR hereby grants to CITY a waiver of any right to subrogation which any insurer of said CONTRACTOR may acquire against the CITY by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance.

www.cityofsanmateo.org
Agenda Number: 16 Section Name: CONSENT CALENDAR Account Number: 10-6661 File ID: 22-6530 TO: City Council
FROM: Drew Corbett, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Library Department
MEETING DATE: August 15, 2022
SUBJECT:

Library Materials Acquisition – Agreement
RECOMMENDATION:

Authorize the Library to spend up to $500,000 annually for fiscal years 2022-23 and 2023-24 in accordance with terms of the Baker & Taylor agreement approved by the City Council on August 17, 2021, to provide books and audiovisual materials and with the option to renew for up to three additional years.

BACKGROUND:

In 2021, the City approved a service agreement between the Library and Baker & Taylor for a 3-year term that will expire on June 30, 2024. However, the Recommendation section did not clearly state that the amount to be paid for services was not to exceed $500,000 each year during the 3-year term. The Library is now seeking to clarify the amount to be paid for the remaining two years of the current 3-year term.

A Request for Quotation (RFQ) process was conducted in 2015 for a primary Library materials vendor. Vendor proposals were assessed and ranked on the following elements: customer support, range of inventory, collection development services, processing and cataloging services, pricing, and fulfillment rates. Pricing was very similar among respondents.

Baker & Taylor received the highest ranking among the competing vendors. The original agreement signed in 2015 was renewed for the first time in 2018 and once again in 2021 due to Baker & Taylor’s continued responsiveness and reliability.

BUDGET IMPACT:

There are sufficient funds budgeted in the Library Department publications accounts for purchase of these materials and services.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

This action is not a project subject to CEQA, because it is an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5).)

NOTICE PROVIDED
All meeting noticing requirements were met.

collectionHQ harnesses evidence of a collection's usage to analyze demand and use in order to influence subsequent purchases. The Discoverv tool provides access to circulation data collected from over 250 North American Public Libraries. Use of the Discovery too] allows libraries to explore high circulating items from the collectionHQ database that are not in their own collection to consider for selection. Thus, collectionHQ can offer insight on all types of materials from the library' s own collection and can also provide information through use of the Discovery tool regarding high circulating items that are not part of the library's own collection for consideration.

collectíonHQ
collectionHQ, used by many of the top library systems in the U.S., U.K. and Australasia, is based on the proven Evidence-Based Stock Management (EBSM) methodology. By analyzing detailed circulation patterns, the methodology provides action plans to help librarians develop and manage collections, saving time and money, improving circulation and aligning the collection with local demand.
collectionHQ’s powerful toolset provides valuable insight and clear direction so that librarians can perform tasks that used to take weeks or months in a matter of minutes. From collection maintenance to collection development, collectionHQ eases workloads and frees up staffs time to work on other important areas within the library.
collectionHQ harnesses evidence of a collection's usage. This allows public libraries to analyze their demand and use that to influence subsequent purchases based on the proven EBSM methodology.

This allows for detailed spending plans to be quickly created 8t the branch level.

Additionally, collectionHQ's unique and powerful 'Discovery tool' gives clients access to circulation data collected from over 250 North American Public Libraries. Using 'Discovery', they are able to carry out searches on this and com pare this against their own holdings. They may also identify specific items that are circulating well in other Public Libraries which they do not have in their own at present.

Having access to this very powerful library circulation data allows selectors to make more informed selection decisions, both quickly and efficiently, with the added peace of mind that decisions have been backed up by hard evidence.

ESP - Evidence-Based Selection Planning
Baker and Taylor, in conjunction with collectionHQ, has developed a new service, Evidence-Based Selection Planning (ESP), that brings the art of Baker & Taylors collection development expertise together with the science of collectionHQs data analytics, to create a decision support system integrated with Title Source 360 to equip libraries with the information to select the right titles and quantities, for the right locations.

ESP is a provided service that supports the purchasing of new materials using evidence from collectionHQ and the title identification from Baker & Taylor. ESP identifies the top forthcoming titles based upon past circulation by author, subject and series, determines the locations where copies need to be placed to satisfy patron demand and monitors budgets through the use of collectionHQ spending plans, Pricing of ESP is determined by the library's varying levels of integration with Baker & Taylor and collectionHQ services.

Customized Library Services has partnered with The Library Corporation (TLC) to create a state of the art cataloging methodology that leverages Z39.50 protocol for accessing the library’s database and a resource pool of records from the Library of Congress and any Baker & Taylor created records. This technology allows our CLS catalogers to have access to the most current version of the library’s cataloging records without the overhead of being directly online. Records obtained from the Library's database are saved to a library specific work file located in our secure cataloging utility. The records in the work file are used in the creation of spine labels and as a vehicle for providing item-linking information.

Once all necessary information is gathered, the CLS project team will work with the library to determine the best, most economical fit for the library
Major Features of the CLS Preferred Cataloging Methodology (Z39.50) - Only authorized CLS catalogers have access to the library’s database and work file. The cataloger will process material first by searching for a matching record in the library’s database and work file simultaneously. A successful search occurs when our matches the data elements found in the appropriate record tags. CLS considers the title, author, imprint/manufacturer, edition and date of publication when matching a record. During the CLS profiling, the project team will document the appropriate attributes for matching records. When a matching record is found, the appropriate level information (examples: barcode number, list price, collection code, etc.) is keyed und the record is saved to the library’s work file.
if a record is not found in the library's database or work file, the CLS Bibliographic Database is searched, followed by LC MARC and the resource databases of TLC. The CLS Bibliographic Database contains all CIP records upgraded to full MARC standards by CLS catalogers, as well as new records created by CLS original catalogers. Please note that the process of using OCLC is available upon CLS' receipt of a signed third party agreement which Wants permission to our catalogers to access OCLC on the library's behalf, On a weekly basis, an electronic file is sent to OCLC to update the library’s holdings for all contributed records.

When a full matching record is found in one of the resource databases, it is upgraded to meet the library's specifications and the appropriate item tag is keyed. The record is then saved to the library’s work file. If the matching record found is not a full level record, the record is upgraded to meet LC standards and is saved to the CLS Bibliographic Database, The record is then further edited to meet the library's specifications and the appropriate item record is keyed. The record is then saved to the library's work file. The exception to a full level record would be that some AV pre-pub records are not upgraded to full MARC standards, However, these records are upgradeable to the Library's local standards. If a matching record cannot be found in the multi-database search string, a request is forwarded to an original cataloger in the CLS department. Our original catalogers will create a record according to RDA rules. LC authority files are used to validate author and subject headings. Once the record is created, it is saved into the CLS Bibliographic Review File. Once the record has been reviewed and approved, it is saved in the CIS Bibliographic Database. The library's assigned cataloger is notified and the record will be edited to meet the library’s specifications. Field and appropriate item tag is keyed.

2. Baker & Taylor's process for materials without existing full MARC records is described above. as part of our overall cataloging methodology and workflow.

3. Baker & Taylor will adhere to your local practices as they are outlined by the Library during your initial account setup process and profiling meetings.

Exhibit D (Processing);
Baker & T8ylor can supply the processing services as listed.

The CLS department has over 300 trained professionals staffed to handle the library’s customized requirements.

These staff members are dedicated to meeting the library's requirements and exceeding your expectations. Our commitment to excellence and doing the job right the first time is unmatched in our industry. After cataloging is complete, the processing department completes the physical processing of each item. The processors review the processing instructions gathered at the site visit. Following these instructions, the processor attaches the spine label, and any special labels required by the library. After the application of all physical components, the library’s materials move to the jacket selection area. Experienced technicians size the books so the appropriate Mylar jacket can be applied to the dust cover of the book. After the material is fully processed, it is ready for the final and most important stage in our CLS process, back audit.

RFID
CLS Shelf Ready Processing can also include the and linking of RFID tags. Baker & Taylor's Customized Library Services has been providing RFD services for print and audiovisual material since 2001. To date, we have printed and/or applied tags for millions of items. As the number of vendors and product offerings has gown with regard to RFID technologies, CLS too has grown in our vendor relationships and linking and application capabilities. We currently work with 3M, Checkpoint, Tech-Logic, ITG, Bibliotheca, and VTLS and we own equipment from each vendor.

Back Audit
'The back audit team is the final step in ensuring the material we ship to the library is of the highest quality und is in compliance with the library's profiled specifications. The CLS back auditors inspect each order by cross the completed processing and the processing gathered at the site visit. Once the libr ary's material passes this stage, the order is ready to be Staged for delivery to the library.

In general, the following describes our Project Management approach and general workflow for account setup:

Project Management Approach
'The basis of Customi7ßd Library Services' business relationship with the San Matco Public Library will be a partnership, based on mutually agreed upon roles, responsibilities, and obligations. Flexibility and responsiveness to changing needs are fundamental requirements for ensuring successful and mutually satisfying partnership between the Library and CLS. 'The formation of Baker & Taylor's Customized Library Services brought with it the development of a proj ect-oriented approach to Ongoing Collection Development, Opening Day Collections, and Ongoing Online Cataloging and Processing. This approach allows CLS management 10 schedule all facets of ongoing service, including resources, and provides the foundation and framework for the entire project while creating a mutual understanding of the requirements of both the Library and CLS.
t
The first step in the implementation of the CLS project management process is the establishment of a project team. All CLS project teams consist of a minimum of a project manage , collection development manager, an automation specialist/cataloging/processing manager, and an account coordinator. Team members are responsible for managing their assigned resources to complete the project. In turn, each team member works closely with the project manager to ensure compliance to all requirements.

The development of the project team begins upon receipt of a formal proposal request. The project team immediately becomes part of the CLS response team and helps develop an approach that will successfully complete the project and meet the library's requirements. This process ensures that all management resources are in place prior to the submission of our response. Our experience has shown that when the library sets up a project team with similar project responsibilities and scope in advance of the project or ongoing service startup, the documentation and implementation of services is more efficient, accurate, and thorough. Addiüonally, the library's internal project team, supported by a designated library project manager, can provide a point of contact for all issues and This will help foster communication and insure that all internal library timelines and schedules are met.

Upon successful award to CLS, the project manager immediately contacts the library's project coordinator to begin developing the partnership that will carry throughout CLS service to the library or the projects' completion. At this time, the project manager contacts the library to review the next steps in the process and possible site visit dates and also requests samples of barcodes, genre labels, ownerships labels or other labels as applicable. The project manager will work with the library to schedule a series of conference calls, including the appropriate CLS and library project team members. The goals of these calls will be to establish connectivity to the library's catalog, review the cataloging and processing specifications supplied in the proposal process and further define them if needed, profile any collection development needs, and assist in the coordination of any electronic ordering/account set up. At the end of these conference calls, all CLS project team members will review their notes and provide a comprehensive requirements documentation package to the library. Upon receipt of the library's approval of the requirements package, CLS will create cataloged and processed samples as needed, Your project manager will deliver these samples to the library, giving the library another opportunity to confirm that CIS understands their requirements. At this time the project manager can walk the library through placing their first orders and discuss a fulfillment schedule with the library.

Ultimately, the key to successful project management is communication. Internally, CLS emphasizes and focuses on team communication for facilitation and completion of all processes and tasks. Externally, this communication is no less important. Team to team communication between the library and CLS builds a confidence and the environment that is needed for the successful completion of any project. In support of this "communications environment", the project manager is responsible for establishing regular conference calls with the library and all the CLS team members. These meetings can serve a number of purposes, such as the regular review of profiles, requirements, and project status updates.

Our experience has also proven that these meetings and calls aid in the development of the relationship between CLS and the library by promoting open lines of communication at all times and by helping to resolve any issues or questions to the mutual satisfaction of the library and CLS.

A final component of project management is consulting support. All CLS project managers have significant project and delivery experience that can provide ongoing support and aide to the library. This additional knowledge base is free of charge and comes fr om working with seasoned project professionals. This support can be an invaluable and timely tooi from collection development strategy all the way to the delivery implementation.

Sent: Thursday, May 14 2015 8:05 AM

Cc: Jeff McDaniel
Subject: RE: Proposal questions for.SMPL

Good Morning Elliot,
 Based upon the award timeframe we would place San Mateo Public in the queue for migration to Titte Source 360. What that means is that San Mateo Public would be in the next wave of libraries which would begin June 26, 2015. On June 26th we would begin legacy messaging about the migration and Amy and the Titles Source team will work with the library in person and through webinars to familiarize and train staff on the new features of TS 360. The migration team would also work with the current cart management to insure that all carts that can be transferred will be transferred. The migration does build in duel access time until the library and the migration team are comfortable turning off Title Source our goal as am sure the Library’s goal would be the sooner the better. To confirm the total cost for TS or TS360 upon award will be $1,495 dollars for the inclusion of full text reviews with unlimited userids. There will be no other costs associated with TitleSource or TitleSource360, Since we have already invoiced you for your July Renewal upon award we would issue you a credit for the difference if that is acceptable.  Under Separate email I will send you the details of the list that we are currently providing for you. We are providing those lists at no charge. Also, based on what you have outlined below there would be no charges for those profiles now or in the future. In fact we offered free First Look Custom in the description of the TitleSource cost on page 5 of 21 Exhibit B (collection development). Where we would need to discuss charges is if the library would ask us to manage funds or move the profiles to a title for title selection process, meaning based on the profile B&T would select and then manage the funds. Again there are no costs associated with the current profiles nor would there be if similar scope Is required,  You are correct about what the goal of MVP program Is about, it is our way to try to get in your hands relevant title data that leverages the programs and the insight our buyers get from the publishers. "Merchandisers Variety - the purpose of MVP is family of profiles that use the elements of our merchandising and inventory management processes to identify categories of titles In anticipation of patron demand, rather than in reaction to patron demand."
I trust this will provide helpful insight in your decision process. However, if can be of any further assistance please let me know. We look forward to hearing from you.

All my best,
Jeff

FROM: Drew Corbett, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Public Works Department
MEETING DATE: August 15, 2022
SUBJECT:

Wastewater Treatment Plant On-Call Consulting Services – Agreements RECOMMENDATION:

Approve two on-call professional services agreements for the Wastewater Treatment Plant related services to Carollo Engineers, Inc. and Brown and Caldwell, with each agreement in the amount of $400,000 for three years, with two (2) one- year extension options for up to $100,000 per year, for a maximum of five (5) years and $600,000 for each agreement; and authorize the Public Works Director to execute the agreements substantially in the form presented, to issue project- specific task orders under these agreements, and to amend the agreements within the budget amount.

BACKGROUND:

The City has identified capital improvements needed to maintain and/or improve wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) reliability, performance, and safety (Projects). These Projects will be delivered through the Clean Water Program. The proposed agreements for on-call professional services support both the Projects and also support maintenance and improvement projects implemented through the WWTP’s Operations and Maintenance groups. The required on-call professional services include, but are not limited to, alternatives analyses and engineering studies, design services, bid period services, engineering services during construction, and operational support.

The City issued a Request for Qualifications on April 28, 2022. Upon conclusion of the advertisement period on May 16, 2022, the City received six Statements of Qualifications (SOQs). Six consultants submitted SOQs, including Hazen and Sawyer, HDR, Carollo Engineers, Brown and Caldwell, CDM Smith, and Dudek. Staff evaluated and scored the SOQs and determined Carollo Engineers and Brown and Caldwell as the best qualified consultants to provide the needed on-call consulting services.

Based on the above, staff recommends awarding agreements to Carollo Engineers and Brown and Caldwell, each in an amount not to exceed $400,000 for the initial three-year term. Each agreement further includes two (2) one-year extension options in the amount of up to $100,000 per year that the City may choose to exercise. The scope of work for each project-specific task orders will be determined on an as-needed basis and issued by the Public Works Director.

BUDGET IMPACT:

Sufficient funds are available in the Clean Water Program and Wastewater Treatment Plant budgets.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

The proposed action is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), since entering on-call professional services agreements is an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect significant physical changes in the environment. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5).) In addition, on June 6, 2016, the City Council certified a Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (Final PEIR) (SCH No. 2015032006),

222 of 461

CITY OF SAN MATEO

which serves as the primary environmental compliance document for implementation of the Clean Water Program. On July 16, 2018, the City approved Addendum 1 to the Final PEIR, and on April 15, 2019 approved Addendum 2. Any resultant capital improvement or operations and maintenance-related projects resulting from the on-call professional consulting services shall be reviewed on an individual basis or evaluated for consistency with the PEIR and Addenda.

All meeting noticing requirements were met.

FROM: Drew Corbett, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Public Works Department
MEETING DATE: August 15, 2022
SUBJECT:

High Voltage Streetlight Conversion (Phase 3) – Agreements RECOMMENDATION:

Approve an agreement with St. Francis Electric, LLC for construction of the High Voltage Streetlight Conversion (Phase 3) Project in the amount of $2,352,230; establish a contingency reserve of $240,000; approve an agreement with Ghirardelli Associates, Inc. for construction inspection support in the amount of $92,243; establish a contingency reserve of $9,300; and authorize the Public Works Director to execute the agreements in substantially the form presented and issue change orders or amendments within the budget and contingency reserve.

BACKGROUND:

The High Voltage Streetlight Conversion (Phase 3) Project (Project) is part of the High Voltage Streetlight Conversion Program. The Project will convert four (4) high voltage streetlight circuits, consisting of 115 streetlights, to low voltage circuits. The Engineer’s Estimate for the Project is $3,793,800. The Project was advertised on May 19, 2022, and a total of three (3) bids were received and opened on June 16, 2022. The bids received are listed below in order of increasing bid amount.

1. St. Francis Electric, LLC - $3,443,000

2. MP Nexlevel of California, Inc. - $4,963,273

3. Ray’s Electric - $5,039,430
Based on a review of the bids received, staff recommends for City Council to award the agreement to St. Francis Electric, LLC as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

The bid consisted of a Base Bid Item and three (3) Additive Bid Items. Determination of the lowest responsive bidder was based on the sum of the Base Bid and all three Additive Bid Items, although the City reserved the right to award the Base Bid Item only or the Base Bid Item and any combination of Additive Bid Items. Bidders were required to structure their bids using the same unit prices for similar bid items throughout the Main Bid Item and all of the Additive Bid Items. St.

Francis Electric, LLC and MP NexLevel of California did not comply with this requirement. However, staff determined that the difference between the total bid prices from the low bidder, St. Francis Electric, LLC, and the other bidders is large enough that the irregularity does not affect the determination of the low bid. Furthermore, because the irregularity is related to the unit prices for the Additive Bid Items, staff recommends an award only for the Base Bid Item, thereby mitigating the impact of the irregularity.

Furthermore, staff reviewed the bids and found the bid from MP Nexlevel of California, Inc., the second-lowest bidder, non-responsive because the prime contractor does not have both types of contractor’s licenses, A and C10, that were

266 of 461

CITY OF SAN MATEO

6 0
required to bid. Staff also determined the bid from Ray’s Electric, the third-lowest bidder, is non-responsive because of omissions on two forms: 1) Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) Contractor Registration Law – Senate Bill 854 Requirements form and 2) Subcontracting Requirements and List of Subcontractors form.

Based on above, staff determined that St. Francis Electric, LLC is the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, and recommends City Council award the agreement to it.

Construction Inspection Services:

Public Works does not have sufficient staff resources currently available to inspect and oversee all construction activities.

The City requested proposals for construction inspection support from the consultants on the City’s on-call list for construction management and inspection services: CSG Consultants, Inc., Ghirardelli Associates, Inc., and MNS Engineers, Inc. The City received proposals from CSG Consultants, Inc. and Ghirardelli Associates, Inc. MNS Engineers, Inc. declined to submit a proposal due to a lack of the necessary staffing during the expected time of construction. After reviewing the proposals, staff recommends awarding the agreement to Ghirardelli Associates, Inc.

BUDGET IMPACT:

Sufficient funds are available in the High Voltage Streetlight Conversion Project (No. 460040) to award these agreements.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

This project is categorically exempt from CEQA as an “existing facility,” because it consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15301.)

All rights and obligations of City and Contractor are fully set forth and described in the contract documents. The contract documents constitute the entire contract between the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof, fully supersede any and all prior understandings, representations, warranties and agreements between the parties hereto, or any of them, pertaining to the subject matter hereof, and may be modified only by written agreement signed by all of the parties hereto.

All of the above-named documents are complementary and are intended to operate in harmony, so that any work called for in one, and not mentioned in the other, or vice versa, is to be executed the same as if mentioned in all said documents. In the event of any variation or discrepancy between any portion of this Agreement and any portion of the contract documents, this Agreement shall prevail.

The precedence of the remaining contract documents will be as specified in the Contract Book.

4. Schedule. All work shall be performed in accordance with the schedule provided pursuant to the Contract Book.

5. Performance by Sureties. In the event of any termination as hereinbefore provided, City shall immediately give written notice thereof to Contractor and Contractor's sureties, and the sureties shall have the right to take over and perform the Agreement, provided, however, that if the sureties, within 5 days after giving them said notice of termination, do not give City written notice of their intention to take over the performance thereof within 5 days after notice to City of such election, City may take over the work and prosecute the same to completion, by contract or by any other method it may deem advisable, for the account, and at the expense of Contractor, and the sureties shall be liable to City for any excess cost or damages occasioned City thereby; and, in such event, City may, without liability for so doing, take possession of, and utilize in completing the work, such materials, appliances, plant and other property belonging to Contractor as may be on the site of the work and necessary therefor.

6. Legal Work Day - Penalties for Violation. Eight hours of labor shall constitute a legal day's work.

Contractor shall not require more than 8 hours labor in a day and 40 hours in a calendar week from any person employed by Contractor in the performance of such work unless such excess work is compensated for at not less than 1-1/2 times the basic rate of pay. Contractor shall forfeit as a penalty to City the sum of $25.00 for each laborer, workman or mechanic employed in the execution of this contract by Contractor, or by any subcontractor for each calendar day during which such laborer, workman or mechanic is required or permitted to labor more than 8 hours in any calendar day and 40 hours in any one calendar week in violation of the provisions of Sections 1810 and 1816, inclusive, of the Labor Code of the State of California.

7. Prevailing Wage Scale. The prevailing wage scale as determined by the Director of Industrial Relations of the State of California, in force on the day the bid was announced, will be the minimum paid to all craftsmen and laborers working on this project. Contractor shall also require any subcontractors who work or provide any services related to the project to pay all persons performing labor or rendering service under said subcontract or other arrangement at least the general prevailing rate of wages, determined as set forth herein for the respective crafts and employments, including such wages for holiday and overtime work. A copy of the correct determination will be posted at the job site. It is

269 of 461

Construction Contract Page 3 of 9
Rev 7/21
understood that it is the responsibility of Contractor to determine the correct scale. Copies of the prevailing wage rates are on file at the City Clerk's office, however, errors or defects in the materials in the City Clerk's office will not excuse a bidder's failure to comply with the actual scale then in force.

Contractor must submit certified payrolls to the Department of Industrial Relations in accordance with Labor Code Section 1776.

Contractor agrees to comply with the City’s minimum wage ordinance as codified in Municipal Code Chapter 5.92, which differs from the state minimum wage and includes a Consumer Price Index escalator.

10. Hold Harmless and Indemnity Provision. Contractor agrees to hold harmless, defend, and indemnify the City, its elected and appointed officials, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, loss, liability, damage, and expense arising from performance of this Agreement, including claims, loss, liability, damage, and expense caused or claimed to be caused by passive negligence of the City, its elected and appointed officials, employees, and agents; provided, however that this provision does not apply to claims, loss, liability, damage or expense arising from (a) the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the City or (b) the active negligence of the City; further provided, that this provision shall not affect the validity of any insurance contract, workers’ compensation or other agreement issued by an admitted insurer as defined by the Insurance Code. Contractor will defend City of San Mateo, its elected and appointed officials, employees, and agents, against any such claims.

11. Attorney Fees. Attorney fees in total amount not exceeding $5,000 shall be recoverable as costs (that is, by the filing of a cost bill) by the prevailing party in any action or actions to enforce the provisions of the contract documents. The above $5,000 limit is the total of attorney fees recoverable whether in the trial court, appellate court, or otherwise, and regardless of the number of attorneys, trials, appeals or actions. It is the intent that neither party to this Agreement shall have to pay the other more than $5,000 for attorney fees arising out of an action, or actions, to enforce the provisions of the contract documents. The parties expect and hope there will be no litigation and that any differences will be resolved amicably.

12. Mediation. Should any dispute arise out of this Agreement, any party may request that it be submitted to mediation. The parties shall meet in mediation within 30 days of a request. The mediator shall be agreed to by the mediating parties; in the absence of an agreement, the parties shall each submit one name from mediators listed by either the American Arbitration Association, the California State Board of Mediation and Conciliation, or other agreed-upon service.

This proceeding is closed.

1. Background
On June 30, 2017, Silica Networks, a California corporation, filed an application for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) to provide resold and competitive full facilities-based local and inter-exchange telecommunications services in the service territories of Pacific Bell Telephone

Company (Pac Bell), Frontier California, Inc. (Frontier),1 Consolidated Communications of California Company (Consolidated, formerly SureWest Telephone2) , and Citizens Telecommunications Company of California, Inc. (Citizens).

Silica Networks proposes to provide a variety of retail and wholesale switched and dedicated network and point-to-point (special access) services.

Initially, the Applicant intends to focus on the provision of fiber optic infrastructure for use by other telecommunications providers and large commercial customers. Silica Networks’ principal place of business is located at 5499 Daisy Drive, Pollock Pines, California 95726.

No protests or responses to the application were filed. A telephonic prehearing conference was held on October 31, 2017; no persons appeared other than the applicant. The assigned Commissioner issued a scoping memo and ruling on November 15, 2017, identifying the issues to be determined as follows, upon which the matter was submitted:
(1) Does Silica Networks meet all the requirements for being granted a CPCN, including;
a. Is Silica Networks a telephone corporation and a public utility as defined in Pub. Util. Code § 234(a) and § 216(a). b. Do Silica Networks’ proposed construction activities fall within one or more California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) categorical exemptions?

1 Frontier California was formerly Verizon California, Inc. (Verizon). As of April 1, 2016, Verizon’s operations in California were acquired and are now operated by Frontier California, Inc., pursuant to Decision (D.) 15-12-005.
2 SureWest Telephone was acquired by Consolidated Communications Inc. in 2012, pursuant to D.12-06-004, and SureWest Telephone changed its name to Consolidated Communications of California Company as of January 1, 2016.

c. Should Silica Networks be allowed to use the Energy
Division’s 21-day CEQA exemption process?
d. Will Silica Networks’ authority to provide
telecommunications services have a significant adverse effect upon the environment?
e. Does Silica Networks have a minimum of $125,000 of cash or cash equivalent that is reasonably liquid and readily available to meet its start-up expenses and to cover deposits that may be required?
f. Does Silica Networks’ management possess sufficient
experience, knowledge, and technical expertise to provide local exchange services to the public?
g Is anyone associated with or employed by Silica Networks as an affiliate, officer, director, partner, agent, or owner of more than 10 percent of Silica Networks: (a) held one of these positions with a company that filed for bankruptcy; (b) been personally found liable, or held one of these positions with a company that has been found liable, for fraud, dishonesty, failure to disclose, or misrepresentations to consumers or others; (c) been convicted of a felony; (d) been the subject of a criminal referral by judge or public agency; (e) had a
telecommunications license or operating authority denied, suspended, revoked, or limited in any jurisdiction;
(f) personally entered into a settlement, or held one of these positions with a company that has entered into settlement of criminal or civil claims involving violations of
§§ 17000, et seq., §§ 17200, et seq., or §§ 17500, et seq., of the California Business & Professions Code, or of any other statute, regulation, or decisional law relating to fraud, dishonesty, failure to disclose, or misrepresentations to consumers or others; (g) been found to have violated any statute, law, or rule pertaining to public utilities or other regulated industries; (h) entered into any settlement

regulatory agency for failure to comply with any law, rule or order?
h. Did Silica Networks provide a map of the location of its proposed service territory?
i. Does Silica Networks have information to report under Rule 3.1(i)?
j. Did Silica Networks provide an estimate of its customer base for the first and fifth year of operation; and
(2.) If granted a CPCN, Silica Networks shall comply with all Commission requirements of ownership and operation of a telecommunications utility.

2. Jurisdiction
Public Utilities Code (Pub. Util. Code) Section 216(a) defines the term “public utility” to include a “telephone corporation,” which in turn is defined in Pub. Util. Code § 234(a) as “every corporation or person owning, controlling, operating, or managing any telephone line for compensation within this state.” Silica Networks proposes to provide resold and competitive full facilities based local and inter-exchange services to other telecommunications providers and large commercial customers. In particular, Silica Networks plans on providing: (1) broadband Internet service to underserved areas; (2) high capacity data transport between financial institutions, government offices, or other businesses; (3) private voice/data networks for medical institutions, schools, and businesses; (4) transport of public switched telephone network traffic between wire centers; (5) transport of video transmission for broadcasters and Community Access Television providers; (6) special access to long haul toll telephone networks; (7) internet access; and (8) other jurisdictionally-intrastate or interstate purposes. Silica Networks is a telephone corporation and a public utility subject to our jurisdiction.

3. CEQA issues
Silica Networks’ proposed construction activities generally include some small scale outside plant construction, such as: (1) trenching for the installation of underground conduit and the installation of new utility poles; (2) construction of above-ground equipment or support structures; and (3) short conduit extensions or stubs. Silica Networks states that such construction would generally occur in existing roadways or other previously-developed and disturbed rights-of-way.

These activities are very limited and would in almost all circumstances be very likely to qualify for an exemption from environmental review pursuant to CEQA for being construction projects involving existing facilities (CEQA Guidelines § 15301), replacement or reconstruction (CEQA Guidelines § 15302), or new construction or conversion of small structures (CEQA Guidelines § 15303). In order to ensure that Silica Networks’ activities do not have a significant adverse effect on the environment, we require that Silica Networks not perform any full facilities-based construction activities without first obtaining either a Notice to Proceed from the Energy Division upon its confirmation that the project is categorically exempt from CEQA review or, in the alternative, authorization by the Commission after the requisite environmental review.

Before commencing any full facilities-based construction activity, Silica Networks shall provide the Commission’s Energy Division with:
o A detailed description of the proposed project, including:
 Customer(s) to be served;
 The precise location of the proposed construction project; and
 Regional and local site maps.

302 of 461

o A description of the environmental setting, to include at a minimum:
 Cultural, historical, and paleontological resources;
 Biological resources; and
 Current land use and zoning.
o A construction workplan, to include:
 Commission Preconstruction Survey Checklist—
Archaeological Resources;
 Commission Preconstruction Survey Checklist—Biological Resources;
 A detailed schedule of construction activities, including site restoration activities;
 A description of construction/installation techniques;  A list of other agencies contacted with respect to siting, land use planning, and environmental resource issues, including contact information; and
 A list of permits required for the proposed project.
o A statement of the CEQA exemption(s) applicable to the proposed project; and
o Documentation and factual evidence sufficient to support a finding that the claimed exemption(s) is (are) applicable.  The Energy Division will review Silica Networks’ submission for the proposed project to confirm that the claimed exemption(s) from CEQA are applicable.
 Within 21 days from the date of Silica Networks’ submittal, the Energy Division will issue either:
o A Notice to Proceed and will file a Notice of Exemption with the State Clearinghouse, Office of Planning and Research, or o A letter of denial stating the specific reasons why the claimed exemption(s) are not applicable to the proposed project.

If the Energy Division disapproves Silica Networks’ claimed CEQA exemption(s) and issues a letter of denial to Silica Networks, Silica Networks

303 of 461

A.17-06-013 ALJ/HSY/sf3/jt2

-7-
must either re-design the specific project and facilities and then reapply for a finding of exemption from CEQA, or file a formal application with the Commission seeking the requisite approval and full CEQA review, before commencing any construction activities.

4. Financial Qualifications
To be granted a CPCN, an applicant for authority to provide competitive full facilities-based and resold local exchange services must demonstrate that it has a minimum of $100,000 cash or cash equivalent, reasonably liquid and readily available to meet the firm’s start-up expenses.3 An applicant must also demonstrate that it has sufficient additional resources to cover all deposits required by local exchange carriers (LEC) and/or interexchange carriers in order to provide the proposed service.4 Silica Networks provided a letter of guarantee from its President and Chief Executive Officer, Robert Stevens, that $100,000 would be available to Silica Networks for one year following certification, for start-up expenses; as well as a bank statement showing sufficient savings to cover start-up expenses and $25,000 for any deposit required by Pac Bell, Frontier, Consolidated, or Citizens. Since Silica Networks has provided documentation that it possesses a minimum of $100,000 for start-up expenses and $25,000 for any deposit required, it has demonstrated that it has sufficient funds to meet its start-up expenses and has fulfilled this requirement.

3 The financial requirement for Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLEC) is contained in D.95-12-056, Appendix C. The financial requirement for Non-Dominant Interexchange Carriers (NDIEC) is contained in D.91-10-041.
4 The requirement for Competitive Local Carrier applicants to demonstrate that they have additional financial resources to meet any deposits required by underlying LECs and/or Interexchange Carriers is set forth in D.95-12-056, Appendix C. For NDIECs, the requirement is found in D.93-05-010.

304 of 461

A.17-06-013 ALJ/HSY/sf3/jt2

-8-
Silica Networks’ financial documentation will be subject to verification and review by the Commission for one year to ensure that such funds are available.

5. Technical Qualifications
To be granted a CPCN for authority to provide competitive local exchange and interexchange service, an applicant must make a reasonable showing of managerial and technical expertise in telecommunications or a related business. 5 Silica Networks supplied biographical information on its management in Exhibit D to its application that demonstrates it has sufficient expertise and training to operate as a telecommunications provider.

6. Civil and Criminal Record
Silica Networks verified that no one associated with or employed by Silica Networks as an affiliate, officer, director, partner, or owner of more than 10 percent of Silica Networks: (a) held one of these positions with a company that filed for bankruptcy; (b) been personally found liable, or held one of these positions with a company that has been found liable, for fraud, dishonesty, failure to disclose, or misrepresentations to consumers or others; (c) been convicted of a felony; (d) been the subject of a criminal referral by judge or public agency; (e) had a telecommunications license or operating authority denied, suspended, revoked, or limited in any jurisdiction; (f) personally entered into a settlement, or held one of these positions with a company that has entered into settlement of criminal or civil claims involving violations of §§ 17000, et seq., §§ 17200, et seq., or §§ 17500, et seq., of the California Business & Professions Code, or of any other statute, regulation, or decisional law relating to fraud, dishonesty, failure to disclose, or misrepresentations to consumers or others;

-9-
(g) been found to have violated any statute, law, or rule pertaining to public utilities or other regulated industries; (h) entered into any settlement agreements or made any voluntary payments or agreed to any other type of monetary forfeitures in resolution of any action by any regulatory body, agency, or attorney general; or (i) is being, or has been investigated by the Federal Communications Commission or any law enforcement or regulatory agency for failure to comply with any law, rule or order. 6

7. Tariffs
Silica Networks has requested de-tariffed status and is exempt from the requirement to file tariffs provided that it complies with the consumer protection rules identified in D.98-08-031.

8. Map of Service Territory
To be granted a CPCN for authority to provide competitive local exchange service, an applicant must provide a map of the service territories it proposes to serve.7 In its application, Silica Networks provided a map of the location of its proposed service territory, in compliance with this requirement.

9. Rule 3.1(i) Statement
Rule 3.1(i) sets forth the requirement that a utility filing an application under Pub. Util. Code § 1001, provide a statement regarding General Order (GO) 104-A, Section 2. Silica Networks states that it is not aware of any reportable matters pursuant to GO 104-A, Section 2. Silica Networks, therefore, has nothing to report under this rule.

6 These certifications are required by D.13-05-035, Ordering Paragraph 14. 7 D.95-12-056 at Appendix C, Rule 4.E.

306 of 461

A.17-06-013 ALJ/HSY/sf3/jt2

-10-
On a going-forward basis, though, Silica Networks must file all reports required of a public utility under Commission jurisdiction.

10. Expected Customer Base
Silica Networks provided its estimated customer base for the first and fifth years of operation in Section XIII of its application. Therefore, Silica Networks has complied with this requirement.

11. Safety Considerations
With the adoption of the Safety Policy Statement of the California Public Utilities Commission on July 10, 2014, the Commission has, among other things, heightened its focus on the potential safety implications of every proceeding. We have considered the potential safety implications here. We are satisfied that Silica Networks will meet the Commission’s minimum safety goals and expectations of CLECs because: (1) Silica Networks has taken steps to meet the financial requirements as set forth in this decision for a facilities-based CLEC; and (2) Silica Networks is a public utility that is required, pursuant to Pub. Util.

Code § 451, to “… furnish and maintain such adequate, efficient, just and reasonable service, instrumentalities, equipment, and facilities, including telephone facilities … as are necessary to promote the safety, health, comfort, and convenience of its patrons, employees, and the public.”

12. Compliance
The application conforms to our rules for certification as a competitive local exchange carrier. Accordingly, we grant Silica Networks a CPCN to provide resold and competitive full facilities-based local and inter-exchange telecommunications services in the service territories of Pac Bell, Frontier, SureWest, and Citizens with additional conditions as set forth in the Ordering Paragraphs.

-11-
The CPCN granted by this decision provides benefits to Silica Networks and corresponding obligations. Silica Networks receives authority to operate in the prescribed service territories, and this authority enables Silica Networks, pursuant to Section 251 of the 1934 Communications Act, as amended by the 1996 Telecommunications Act (47 U.S.C. 251), to interconnect with telecommunications carriers.8 This authority also enables Silica Networks to obtain access to public rights of way in California as set forth in D.98-10-058 subject to the CEQA requirements set forth in this decision. In return, Silica Networks is obligated to comply with all applicable statutes and Commission rules, general orders and decisions applicable to telephone corporation providing approved services. The applicable statutes, rules, general orders and decisions include, but are not limited to, consumer protection rules, tariffing, and reporting requirements. Moreover, Silica Networks is obligated to pay all Commission prescribed user fees and public purpose program surcharges as set forth in the Appendix B of this decision, to comply with CEQA, and to adhere to Pub. Util. Code § 451 which states that every public utility “…shall furnish and maintain such adequate, efficient, just, and reasonable service, instrumentalities, equipment, and facilities, including telephone facilities, as defined in § 54.1 of the Civil Code, as are necessary to promote the safety, health, comfort, and convenience of its patrons, employees, and the public.” Silica Networks must obtain a performance bond of at least $25,000 in accordance with D.13-05-035. The performance bond must be a continuous bond (i.e., there is no termination date on the bond) issued by a corporate surety

8 The California Public Utilities Code uses the term “telephone corporation.” Its counterpart in federal law is a “telecommunications carrier.”

308 of 461

A.17-06-013 ALJ/HSY/sf3/jt2

-12-
company authorized to transact surety business in California, and the Commission must be listed as the obligee on the bond. Within five days of acceptance of its CPCN, Silica Networks must submit a Tier 1 advice letter to the Communications Division, containing a copy of the license holder’s executed performance bond, and subsequently submit a Tier 1 advice letter annually, but not later than March 31 of each subsequent year, with a copy of the executed bond.

Silica Networks must not allow its performance bond to lapse during any period of its operation. Pursuant to D.13-05-035, the Commission may revoke a CPCN if Silica Networks is more than 120 days late in providing the Communications Division a copy of its executed performance bond and has not been granted an extension of time by the Communications Division.

The corporate identification number assigned to Silica Networks, U-7336-C, must be included in the caption of all original filings with this Commission, and in the titles of other pleadings filed in existing cases.

13. Categorization and Need for Hearings
In Resolution ALJ-176-3400 dated June 30, 2017, the Commission preliminarily categorized this application as ratesetting, and preliminarily determined that hearings were necessary. This matter was uncontested, and the assigned Commissioner’s scoping memo therefore determined that evidentiary hearing was not needed. We approve the change to the preliminary determination of need for hearing.

14. Waiver of Comments
This is an uncontested matter in which the decision grants the relief requested. Accordingly, pursuant to § 311(g)(2) of the Public Utilities Code and Rule 14.6(c)(2), the otherwise applicable 30-day period for public review and comment is waived.

Temporary Standby Generator for Dale Avenue Pump Station Upgrade – Agreement RECOMMENDATION:

Approve an Agreement with Herc Rentals, Inc. for a temporary standby generator required to support the Dale Avenue Pump Station Upgrade project in an amount not-to-exceed $222,090.41 for an estimated period of ten months; establish a contingency reserve of $110,046; and authorize the Public Works Director to execute the agreement in substantially the form presented and issue change orders within the contingency amount.

BACKGROUND:

The Basins 2 & 3 Collection System Improvements (Basins 2 & 3) is a Clean Water Program project that increases capacity and improves flow management to prevent sanitary sewer overflows in several areas throughout the City, including at the Dale Avenue Pump Station (DAPS). The DAPS Upgrade project comprises force main refurbishment, pump station equipment upgrades, and replacement of the existing emergency standby generator.

In October 2019, City Council awarded an agreement to Anvil Builders, Inc. (Anvil) to construct the DAPS Upgrade project.

Much of Anvil’s scope is nearly complete; however, there is still work associated with installation of the permanent emergency standby generator. The emergency standby generator at DAPS provides backup power supply for the pumps and facility during a power failure scenario. Due to permitting requirements to comply with the latest air quality emission standards, installation of the new emergency standby generator will take approximately ten more months to complete.

While installing the new generator, a temporary standby generator is required to ensure continuous power capability.

To date, Anvil has utilized Herc Rentals, Inc. (Herc) as a subcontractor to provide a temporary generator for the DAPS Upgrade project. Anvil includes an industry standard 18% markup on the temporary generator costs to facilitate their subcontract with Herc. Since a temporary generator will be required for approximately ten more months, it is proposed that the temporary generator be procured directly by the City to save on markup costs, which equate to approximately $3,800 per month.

Staff requested quotes from four temporary generator rental vendors. The only response and quote received was from Herc. Therefore, staff recommends awarding an agreement to Herc, and establishing a contingency of $110,046 to cover the rental costs for five additional months, if needed.

Pursuant to San Mateo Municipal Code section 3.60.070(h)(3), the City Council may approve other alternative purchasing procedures upon a finding by the City Council prior to or concurrent with the award of contract that the procedures are in the best interests of the City for the particular contract. Based on the above facts, staff recommends that City Council approve an alternative purchasing procedure based on a finding that it is in the best interests of the City and approve the continued rental of an emergency generator from Herc Rentals, Inc.

MEETING DATE: August 15, 2022
SUBJECT:

Collection System Construction Management Services for the Clean Water Program – Amendments RECOMMENDATION:

Approve amendments with two professional services firms, Tanner Pacific, Inc. and Townsend Management, Inc., to expand the scope of as-needed construction management services under the Clean Water Program to include support for Wastewater Treatment Plant projects; amend the durational term of the agreements and indemnity provisions; maintain the originally approved not-to-exceed amounts of $3,000,000 each; and authorize the Public Works Director to execute the amendments substantially in the form presented and approve future amendments within the approved budget.

BACKGROUND:

On June 21, 2022, City Council approved agreements with Tanner Pacific, Inc. and Townsend Management, Inc. to provide as-needed construction management services for various collection system projects under the Clean Water Program (CWP) in amounts not-to-exceed $3,000,000 each. The original agreements did not include construction management services for Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) projects.

The CWP includes improvements to both the WWTP and the sewer collection system to comply with regulatory requirements. Expansion of the current construction management services to include WWTP projects will provide as- needed support for the remainder of the CWP projects. As part of the CWP, several upcoming improvements are required at the existing WWTP facilities, including but not limited to upgrades to pumping systems, anaerobic digesters, and dewatering systems.

The proposed amendment will not increase the previously approved not-to-exceed $3,000,000 amounts for each agreement. Both firms have the experience and qualifications to provide professional services on WWTP capital improvement projects. Townsend Management has provided construction management services on a previous City of San Mateo WWTP project, while Tanner Pacific has provided construction management services for Silicon Valley Clean Water’s WWTP facilities. If the amendments are approved, staff will negotiate and execute project-specific task orders with the two firms on an as-needed basis.

In addition, staff proposes to amend the durational term of the agreements from three (3) years and two (2) 1-year options to five (5) years total. Also, since the Estero Municipal Improvement District (EMID) has an ownership share in the WWTP, staff recommends that the indemnification provisions in both amendments be revised to apply to EMID as well.

Based on the foregoing, staff recommends amending the agreements with Tanner Pacific and Townsend Management to provide construction management services for WWTP improvements.

FROM: Drew Corbett, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Public Works Department
MEETING DATE: August 15, 2022
SUBJECT:
2021 San Mateo Rail Corridor Transportation Management Association – Annual Report RECOMMENDATION:

Review and accept the 2021 San Mateo Rail Corridor Transportation Management Association Annual Report.

BACKGROUND:

During 2005, the City adopted the San Mateo Rail Corridor Transit Oriented Development Plan (Corridor Plan) with the goal to “allow, encourage, and provide guidance for the creation of world class transit-oriented development (TOD) within a half-mile radius of the Hillsdale and Hayward Park Caltrain station areas, while maintaining and improving the quality of life for those who already live and work in the area.” The Corridor Plan includes a framework for (1) creation of a TOD, (2) implementation of a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program with a goal of achieving an overall reduction in new vehicle trips by at least 25 percent corridor-wide, (3) establishment of trip generation thresholds, (4) establishment of parking standards, and (5) monitoring of trip generation.

The Corridor Plan also called for the creation of a San Mateo Rail Corridor Transportation Management Association (TMA).

Participation in the TMA is (1) required for all new development within the TOD zone, (2) strongly encouraged for all new development within the broader Corridor Plan area, and (3) available to any existing uses outside of the Corridor Plan area (Policy 7.18).

The TMA comprises developers and developer representatives that have, or are planning, significant development within the Corridor area. The City participates as a non-voting Board member and does not pay dues to the TMA. The City Council has nominated the Director of Public Works as the City representative to the TMA Board of Directors. The City’s role in the TMA is to provide oversight of each project’s mandated participation as required in the project’s Conditions of Approval (COA).

The TMA facilitates data collection regarding the number of vehicle trips generated by each development per the individual project’s approved TDM plan. Trip generation is determined by collecting driveway counts at all occupied developments. These data are compared to the allowable trip generation threshold identified in each development’s COA.

A development is deemed non-compliant if the observed number of vehicle trips exceeds its trip generation threshold. The TMA Board of Directors hired a data collection firm and traffic engineering consultant to collect relevant data and prepare the 2021 Annual Report (attached).

Per the prepared report, most projects were below their short-term trip thresholds based on their individual project COA.

Delaware Pacific and 2000 Delaware share a common driveway and thus the trip generation is calculated together; the counted trip generation during the PM peak period was six (6) trips above the short-term collective goal for the projects.

Per the Corridor Plan, “Projects that exceed their trip generation threshold shall be required to modify their trip reduction

357 of 461

CITY OF SAN MATEO

and parking management plan and incorporate TDM measures that are expected to increase trip reduction.” (Policy 7.24).

Representatives from both projects have discussed with staff how to address the additional peak hour trips. Delaware Pacific (MidPen Housing) proposes to participate in a Metropolitan Transportation Commission regional fare pilot pass program that will offer residents free multi-agency transit passes via the Clipper Card to encourage transit use. 2000 Delaware is not eligible for this program and recently surveyed tenants to more accurately determine the cause of the increased vehicle trips. Once the survey is complete, they will assess additional TDM measures to offset the vehicle trips and will work with City staff to finalize.

The TMA and consultant presented the findings of the 2021 Annual Report to the Sustainability & Infrastructure Commission on July 13, 2022. The report to the Commission included review of a survey of member projects and an assessment of TDM measures projects offered to residents or tenants in addition to the data collection and analysis. The Commission reviewed the report and unanimously recommended that the City Council accept the report.

Staff has reviewed the report prepared by the TMA Board of Directors and recommends the Council accept the 2021 Annual Report
BUDGET IMPACT:

There is no budget impact associated with this item. The TMA is an IRS 501(c)(4) organization that is funded by its participating members. No City funds are used to pay for the activities of the TMA.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

This San Mateo Rail Corridor TMA Annual Report review is not a project subject to CEQA, because it can be seen with certainty that it will not cause a physical change in the environment. (Public Resources Code Section 21065.)

1 Executive Summary This report details the results from the vehicle trip monitoring pursuant to the San Mateo Rail Corridor Transit-Oriented Development Plan (Corridor Plan). Data collection for the 2021 annual monitoring of the San Mateo Rail Corridor Transportation Management Association (TMA) was completed on October 26, 2021. Also, this report presents a qualitative overview of Transportation Demand Management (TDM) plans for completed projects in the Rail Corridor area. Rail Corridor project development in 2021 included completion of Bay Meadows Residential (”RES 4” apartments and “RES 9” detached single family), Mode (conversion of eight 2-bedroom units to 16 1-bedroom units), Station Park Green (balance of apartments) and Azara (a 74-unit residential project at 1650 S. Delaware). Also, the 25th Avenue Grade Separation Project, including the new Hillsdale Caltrain Station, was completed, and opened in 2021. TMA trip generation counts indicated all but one project were below their short-term thresholds. The exception, Delaware Pacific and 2000 Delaware (considered as a single project site for count purposes due to their shared driveway configuration), generated 58 PM peak hour vehicle trips, which is 6 trips above the short-term threshold of 52 peak hour vehicle trips. The 2021 trip counts indicated higher trip generation at all residential projects, compared to 2019 counts, which makes sense given more residents were at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. On the other hand, trip counts at the commercial office projects were substantially lower than 2019 counts, which also makes sense given the high prevailing rate of remote work and telecommuting, which is higher than pre-pandemic conditions. Bay Meadows Phase II trip generation was estimated based on the same full monitoring procedure used for the 2019 Annual Report. The resulting trip generation was 2,167 PM peak hour vehicle trips. This value is slightly higher than the 2019 total, 2,113 PM peak hour vehicle trips. The current peak hour trip generation value is approximately 75% of the maximum trip threshold (2,878 PM peak hour vehicle trips) allowed under the COA for the mid-term stage. All TMA member projects were required, during entitlement, to develop TDM or trip reduction plans to reflect City guiding documents and practice. Relevant documents were reviewed to document trip reduction thresholds and TDM or trip reduction strategies of completed projects. Bicycle parking, transit provisions and commute coordination were cited most often in these documents. In addition, TMA members completed a survey that was developed to solicit feedback about current practices. The 2021 survey was based on the one used in 2020 but included additional questions that sought to better understand the efforts that TMA members are using to reduce trips to and from their projects. Responses were received from member representatives of all 12 completed projects, and important facts about TDM and trip reduction practices, including management, specific programs offered, participation levels, distribution of TDM information and surveying travel behavior were included in the responses.

2 Background In 2005, the City of San Mateo adopted the Corridor Plan. The stated goal of the Corridor Plan is to allow, encourage and provide guidance for the creation of world class transit-oriented development (TOD) within a half-mile radius of the Hillsdale and Hayward Park Caltrain station areas, while maintaining and improving the quality of life for those who already live and work in the area. The Corridor Plan included a framework for creation of TOD, implementation of a TDM program with a goal of achieving an overall reduction in new vehicle trips of at least 25% corridor-wide, establishment of trip generation thresholds, establishment of parking standards, and monitoring of trip generation. The Corridor Plan also called for the creation of the TMA and stipulated participation in the TMA was required for all new development within the TOD zone, strongly encouraged for all new development within the broader Corridor Plan area and available to any existing uses outside of the Corridor Plan area (Policy 7.18). In 2011, the city adopted the Hillsdale Station Area Plan (Station Plan). The area addressed in the Station Plan was based on the area within walking distance of the now relocated Hillsdale Caltrain Station. The Station Plan expanded the TMA formed under the Corridor Plan to include all properties within the Station Plan area and required all new development join the TMA. It stated Hillsdale Shopping Center’s participation in the TMA will consist of optional measures and will not be subject to the TMA’s trip reduction goals (Policy TRA-4.2). Figure 1 illustrates the Corridor Plan and Station Plan areas. Purpose of the TMA As defined in its bylaws, the purpose of the TMA is to implement the Objectives of the Corridor Plan. Within the Corridor Plan area, the TMA provides the following functions. • Oversees TDM program implementation • Arranges shared parking, as appropriate • Markets TDM services and programs • Coordinates TDM services and programs • Coordinates with the City on annual trip generation monitoring for completed projects • Participates in annual reporting to the San Mateo City Council about development trip generation information • Consults with members regarding trip reduction options if trip generation goals are not being met Outside the corridor area, the TMA may coordinate with other agencies. No TDM services or programs are currently funded by the TMA. Member projects with active TDM programs do so at their own expense, in collaboration with other members, or in partnership with Commute.org.

4 2021 TMA Activities Official meetings of the TMA were held virtually, using the Zoom platform, in March (General Membership and Board), June and September 2020. The TMA stakeholder contact list, meeting minutes, and proposed 2022 meeting schedule are included in Appendix A. Corridor Plan Area Project Status Construction continued in the Corridor Plan area during the 2021 calendar year. Bay Meadows Residential (”RES 4” apartments and “RES 9” detached single family), Mode (conversion of eight 2-bedroom units to 16 1-bedroom units), Station Park Green (balance of apartments) and Azara (a new 74-unit residential complex located at 1650 S. Delaware) were completed in 2021. Also, construction of two Bay Meadows office buildings commenced in 2021. Figure 2 summarizes completed projects in the Corridor Plan area. Figure 3 summarizes future projects under construction, approved or under review. The 25th Avenue Grade Separation Project, including the new Hillsdale Caltrain Station, was completed, and opened in 2021. Trip Generation Thresholds and TDM Measures During each development project’s entitlement phase, vehicle trip generation is calculated using trip generation rates published in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual. Trip reductions are calculated based on a development’s density, location, proximity to transit, mix of land uses, and TDM programs. The Conditions of Approval (COA) establish short-term and long-term trip generation thresholds that need to be met for the life of a project. Short-term goals are based on the varying status of completed projects within the corridor area. Long-term trip reduction goals are based on full build-out of the area into the transit-oriented neighborhood envisioned in the Corridor Plan. Many of the long-term goals are also based on the now complete 25th Avenue Grade Separation Project, which created new roadway connections on 28th and 31st Avenues between El Camino Real and Delaware Street. TMA projects are required to submit individual TDM plans that include a list of trip reduction strategies to be implemented once the project is occupied. TDM plans are tailored to reflect the location of the project, proximity and access to transit, walkability, proposed land uses, and other relevant factors. Trip Generation Monitoring Scope of Study The TMA is required to collect data annually regarding the number of vehicle trips generated by each development. Trip generation is determined by collecting driveway counts at all occupied developments. These data are compared to the allowable trip generation threshold identified in each development’s COA. All projects are currently required to meet their short-term trip reduction goals.

6 Figure 3: Future TMA Projects TMA Trip Generation Driveway count data were collected during the PM peak period (4:00 PM to 6:00 PM) on Tuesday, October 26, 2022, to determine PM peak hour trips generated by each project. For reference, driveway counts were conducted for all projects outside Bay Meadows Phase II because a different monitoring procedure was used for this area. Therefore, driveway counts were not conducted for Montara and Nueva School, which are within Bay Meadows Phase II. Figure 4 summarizes the trip generation data including the 2021 counts. Orange borders denote the key comparison of short-term trip reduction goal and 2021 counts. One project, Delaware Pacific and 2000 Delaware, generated 58 PM peak hour vehicle trips, which exceeds by 6 trips the short-term threshold of 52 peak hour vehicle trips. The count for Azara was low compared to estimated trip generation, which is consistent with a relatively low occupancy of the recently-completed project. Figure 5 summarizes trip generation history for the developments. Compared to 2019 counts, the 2021 trip counts indicated higher trip generation at all residential projects, which makes sense given more residents were at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. On the other hand, trip counts at the commercial office projects were substantially lower than 2019 counts, which also makes sense given the high prevailing rate of remote work and telecommuting, which is higher than pre-pandemic conditions.

7 Figure 4: 2021 TMA Trip Generation
Figure 5: TMA Trip Generation History Bay Meadows Phase II Trip Generation As documented in the 2019 Annual Report, trip generation for Bay Meadows Phase II, evaluated under the full monitoring requirement using cordon counts, was estimated to be 2,113 PM peak hour vehicle trips. For the 2020 Annual Report, given the COVID-19 pandemic, the TMA and City agreed a one-year release from the condition to collect trip generation data for all member projects in exchange for a qualitative overview of TDM plans for completed projects. For 2021, the TMA and City agreed to carry out the full monitoring using the same procedure used for the 2019 Annual Report, that is PM peak period cordon counts by the video count and license plate recognition method on one weekday. The procedures and results of this monitoring effort are presented below. Previous Driveway Counts and Maximum Trip Threshold Prior to 2019, the city conducted annual driveway counts at each block within Bay Meadows Phase II as an interim method to gain some insight to trip generation in the neighborhood. The driveway count program has proven to be a cost-effective way to capture most of the trips generated by Bay Meadows Phase II. It was noted in the 2018 Annual Report that Bay Meadows Phase II trip generation will likely increase when % Trip

8 the full monitoring program is implemented and all trips, including vehicles that park on the street, are counted. Bay Meadows Phase II project development is divided into four stages: one stage reflecting pre-grade separation conditions and three stages post-grade separation reflecting short-term (Phase I), mid-term (Phase II), and long-term (Phase III) conditions. For the post-grade separation stages, trip generation goals were set as follows: 10% short-term, 16% mid-term and 25% long-term reduction. The trip reduction goal was determined based on the grade separation project and the overall amount of development completed. Bay Meadows Phase II is currently in the mid-term (Phase II) post-grade separation stage of development after completion of the 25th Avenue Grade Separation Project, based on the COA. Also, per the COA, the mid-term trip reduction goal for this stage is 16% of the total PM peak hour ITE trip generation for completed projects. The maximum trip threshold for the mid-term stage is 2,878 PM peak hour vehicle trips. Estimated Trip Generation in 2021 Cordon and Gateways All area access points, or gateways, used by vehicles entering and leaving the Bay Meadows Phase II area (Study Area) were defined, including those at 28th Avenue and 31st Avenue created by the 25th Avenue Grade Separation Project. Figure 6 illustrates the Study Area and traffic gateways, which are listed below. • O1 – South Delaware Street north of East 28th Avenue • O2 – South Delaware Street south of Lopez Drive • O3 – 28th Avenue west of Delaware Street • O4 – East 28th Avenue west of Saratoga Drive • O5 – 31st Avenue west of Delaware Street • O6 – Franklin Parkway east of Baze Road Cordon Counts Automatic cordon counts of weekday PM peak period traffic entering and leaving the Study Area were conducted using a sophisticated camera and software system that counts and tags every vehicle by gateway and time of entry and identifies every vehicle that is tagged at two gateways during the count period (referred to as a “paired vehicle trip”). Cordon counts were conducted at the six gateways on Tuesday, October 26, 2021, between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM. Travel Time Surveys Field surveys were conducted to determine typical PM peak period drive times between entry and exit gateways on travel paths associated with typical through trips, which are illustrated in Figure 7. The surveys were performed Thursday, March 17, 2022 and Tuesday, March 22, 2022 during the PM peak period. Figure 8 summarizes resulting travel times for each travel path.

11 Figure 8: Estimated Travel Times by Travel Path These results were used to quantify through vehicle trips - those vehicle trips found with travel times less than or equal to respective travel times - within the time-stamped counts at gateways. This revealed 206 through PM peak period vehicle trips and 830 total PM peak period vehicle trips. The estimated ratio of through to total trips, 25%, was used in the trip generation analysis. For reference, the 2019 analysis found through trips to be 29% of total trips. Estimated Trip Generation Cordon counts provided total PM peak period vehicle trips entering and leaving the Study Area. Figure 9 summarizes the results by gateway.

Figure 9: Cordon Counts by Gateway A total of 4,629 PM peak period vehicle trips were counted entering and leaving the Study Area. This value includes through trips. The derivation of Study Area trip generation is summarized below.

This value is slightly higher than the 2019 total, 2,113 PM peak hour vehicle trips. The current peak hour trip generation value is approximately 75% of the maximum trip threshold (2,878 PM peak hour vehicle trips) allowed under the COA for the mid-term stage. Project TDM Plans This section presents a qualitative overview of TDM or trip reduction plans for member projects. TDM Plans All projects were required, during entitlement, to develop TDM or trip reduction plans to reflect City guiding documents and practice. The following documents were reviewed for this report. • 1650 S. Delaware Street Final Transportation Demand Management Plan (Hexagon Transportation Consultants, Inc., July 18, 2018) [Azara] • 2000 Delaware Trip Reduction Program and Trip Generation Threshold (Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates, Memorandum, February 9, 2011) [also covers Delaware Pacific] • 92 and Delaware Trip Reduction Plan (Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates, Memorandum, February 9, 2011) [400/450 Concar] • Bay Meadows Phase II Traffic Management Plan (Kimley Horn, Latest Revision: August 24, 2018) • Franklin Templeton Campus Expansion Transportation Impact Analysis (Hexagon Transportation Consultants, Inc., June 8, 2017) • 2090 South Delaware Trip Reduction Program (Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates, Memorandum, April 30, 2012) [Mode] • 2901 - 2905 El Camino Real TDM and Trip Reduction Program (Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates, Memorandum, April 10, 2008) [Peninsula Station] • Station Park Green TDM Program – Final Plan (Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates, Memorandum, May 30, 2010) • Conditions of Approval, PA 12-051, The Nueva High School SPAR (City of San Mateo, Approved by the Planning Commission on December 11, 2012) While respective TDM or trip reduction requirements for projects within Bay Meadows Phase II were defined in its Traffic Management Plan, one such project, The Nueva School, prepared a transportation management plan to provide supplemental details for the school operation. Figure 10 provides an overview of trip reduction thresholds defined in TDM or trip reduction plans for completed projects.

14 Survey of Members The above information provided a reasonable overview of what TDM or trip reduction programs were established for member projects during entitlement. A brief survey of TMA members was developed to feedback about current practices. For comparative interest, two Bay Meadows Phase II members were designated – residential and commercial (office and retail) -- and surveyed separately. The survey covered the following points. • Project contact • Number of on-site residents or employees and both • Parking provisions for tenants, residents, and employees • Management of TDM programs and activities • TDM program coordinator contact • Programs and amenities currently offered • Programs most effective in reducing drive-alone vehicle trips • Desire for information on TDM programs • Participation by residents and employees • TDM program information distribution methods • Responsibility for surveying travel behaviors of tenants, residents or employees, or combination • Metrics used to measure performance of TDM or traffic reduction programs • Comments or experiences related to TDM Responses were received from member representatives of all 12 completed projects. They revealed important facts about TDM and trip reduction practices, which are summarized below. Appendix B includes the full survey responses by project. Management Nine members reported in-house management. One indicated a third-party, one noted that tenants were responsible, and one didn’t know. Programs and Amenities The following points summarize member reported programs in place. Figure 11 presents an overview of current programs and relative usage by project. • Secure bicycle storage was cited by 11 of 12 members; some noted other related features like bicycle repair and on-site showers. • Transit provisions were noted by the majority and included passes or subsidies and shuttle programs. • Commute coordination efforts related to on-site transportation information were reported by eight members. Three members reported commute planning assistance. • Parking provisions were noted by five members, including paid parking at market rates, reduced parking supply, free or preferential carpool and vanpool parking, and short-term daily parking. • Amenities reported facilities to support deliveries and family needs and uses serving pedestrian traffic. • Alternate modes were mentioned by one member, which involved a carpool or vanpool program. • Guaranteed ride home was cited by two members.

18 The array of strategies reported lines up well with TDM strategies stated in TDM or trip reduction plans, and generally reflects industry practices. Three programs were cited most effective in reducing drive-alone trips: secure bicycle storage, commute information, and transit or ridesharing passes or subsidies. Participation Eight members reported participation in their TDM programs, one under 10%, two at 11% to 20%, one at 21% to 30%, and one over 50%. The rest answered unknown or not measured. Distribution of TDM Program Information Nine of 12 members indicated they distributed information to respective populations, using electronic and paper documents, bulletin boards or kiosks, and face to face gatherings. Responsibility for Surveying Four members reported that in-house staff developed and administered surveys about travel behavior. Two indicated that SamTrans provided surveys of project Way2Go users. One indicated tenants conducted surveys. Five members reported surveys were not conducted. Metrics Used to Track Performance Four members reported tracking based on numbers of participants in programs. Three reported using counts of driveway traffic or parking occupancy.
