Adopt an Ordinance increasing compensation for City Council members from $600 per month to $1,200 per month, effective January 2025.

PREPARED BY: Library Department
MEETING DATE: May 20, 2024
SUBJECT:
San Jose Student Intern – Agreement
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a no-cost agreement through April 26, 2029 with San Jose State University for placement of an intern and ratify execution of the agreement in substantially the form presented.
BACKGROUND:
The Library Department is interested in becoming an intern site for San Jose State University, School of Information. SJSU is the only university in the Bay Area that offers a Master’s in Library and Information Science (MLIS). It is a large program with plenty of eager students who want internships. The SJSU internships are unpaid but will require supervision from library staff as well as site insurance.
Due to the specialized nature of librarian work, it is preferred to have an intern pursuing a MLIS degree. The intern’s primary focus would be assisting with the summer learning program from June to August of 2024. It has been many years since the library hosted an intern from SJSU, but past experiences have been positive. The intern will gain valuable experience that will assist them in their career, and the library would gain added capacity and support for staff.
Since SJSU is a public college, the agreement is considered an intergovernmental agreement. Thus, it is required to be presented to City Council for approval per the City’s Authorization to Execute Contracts and Agreements policy. The agreement clarifies the roles and responsibilities of the university and internship site. However, the proposed agreement has already been signed, thus staff is seeking Council ratification of its execution.
BUDGET IMPACT:
There is no budgetary impact associated with this item.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
This agreement 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).)

All meeting noticing requirements were met.

FROM: Alex Khojikian, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Public Works Department
MEETING DATE: May 20, 2024
SUBJECT:
Gasoline Fuel Procurement and Delivery – Amendment
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Amendment No. 5 to the agreement with Pinnacle Petroleum, Inc. for gasoline fuel procurement and delivery to extend the term through June 30, 2025; increase the agreement by an amount not to exceed $515,000, for a new total agreement amount of $2,390,000; establish a contingency reserve in the amount of $100,000; and authorize the Public Works Director to execute the amendment in substantially the form presented and issue amendments within the contingency amount.
BACKGROUND:
The City procures the delivery of gasoline fuel to power vehicles and equipment in the Citywide fleet and maintains a fueling station at the Corporation Yard. Gasoline fuel is essential for City services.
In June 2020, a one-year service agreement was awarded by City Council to Pinnacle Petroleum, Inc. for the procurement and delivery of gasoline in a total not-to-exceed amount of $250,000. The approval also allowed for four (4) optional annual extensions of the service with annual increases to the budget and establishment of a contingency reserve.
Since the execution of the 2020 agreement, Amendments 1 through 4 were approved which exercised the annual extensions, added funding to the agreement, and accounted for CPI increases. Based on escalating fuel cost, the original five-year estimate from 2020 of $250,000 per fiscal year was inadequate. Staff reviewed the year-to-date cost and fuel use trends and projected a 75% annual increase. Because of this, the annual amended increases varied depending on use needs and market conditions. In addition, approved contingency reserves were also added annually to support any exceedances associated with the approved budget for each fiscal year. The current total agreement amount is $1,875,000.
Staff recommends approval of Amendment No. 5 to extend the agreement to June 30, 2025, and increase the agreement by $515,000 for a new total agreement amount not to exceed $2,390,000. This Amendment No. 5 will be the last optional annual term extension. To address any unanticipated costs, it is recommended to establish a contingency reserve in the amount of $100,000.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Fuel costs are charged back to departments based on actual usage. Funding is included in the operating budgets for the various departments that utilize gasoline fuel and any increase in use would be absorbed in their operating budget.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
Approval of Amendment No. 5 is not a project subject to CEQA, because it is a continuing administrative or maintenance activity involving the purchase of supplies. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(2).) 25 of 2271

SUBJECT:
Diesel Fuel Procurement and Delivery Services – Amendment RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Amendment No. 5 to the agreement with Bosco Oil, Inc. dba Valley Oil Company for diesel fuel procurement and delivery to extend the term through June 30, 2025; increase the agreement amount by an amount not to exceed $310,000, for a new total agreement amount of $1,435,000; establish a contingency reserve in the amount of $75,000; and authorize the Public Works Director to execute the amendment in substantially the form presented and issue amendments within the contingency amount.
BACKGROUND:
The City procures the delivery of clear renewable diesel fuel to power the Citywide fleet including dump trucks, street sweepers, sewer flusher trucks, and light-duty maintenance trucks. Additionally, red diesel is used to power off-road equipment, including the Marina Lagoon Pump Station and emergency generators.
In June 2020, a one-year service agreement was awarded by City Council to Bosco Oil, Inc, dba Valley Oil Company for the procurement and delivery of red and clear diesel fuel in a total not-to-exceed amount of $150,000. The approval also allowed for four (4) optional annual extensions of the service with annual increases to the budget and establishment of a contingency reserve.
Since the execution of the 2020 agreement, Amendments 1 through 4 were approved and executed to provide annual term extensions, add funding to the agreement, and account for CPI increases. Based on escalating diesel fuel cost, the original five-year estimate from 2020 of $150,000 per fiscal year was inadequate. Staff reviewed the year-to-date cost and fuel use trends and projected a 100% annual increase in cost compared to the original estimate. Because of this, the annual amended increases varied depending on use needs and market conditions. In addition, approved contingency reserves were also added annually to support any exceedances associated with the approved budget for each fiscal year.
The current total amended agreement amount is $1,125,000.
Staff recommends approval of Amendment No. 5 to extend the agreement to June 30, 2025, and increase the agreement by $310,000 for a new total agreement amount not to exceed $1,435,000.

Citywide Surface Treatment Packages 4A-1 and 4A-2 – Agreement RECOMMENDATION:
Approve an agreement with HDR Engineering, Inc. for design professional services for the Citywide Surface Treatment Packages 4A-1 and 4A-2 in an amount not to exceed $584,000; establish a contingency reserve of $58,400; and authorize the Public Works Director to execute the agreement in substantially the form presented and approve amendments, including no-cost time extensions, within the contingency amount.
BACKGROUND:
The City owns and maintains pavement assets consisting of approximately 200 miles of streets, bike paths, and alleyways.
The Pavement Management Program (PMP) implements annual capital improvement projects focused on pavement maintenance beyond the routine maintenance tasks performed by the City’s field maintenance crews.
On February 8, 2024, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Engineering Design Services for multiple pavement projects including for Citywide Surface Treatment Packages 4A-1 (PMP4A1) and 4A-2 (PMP4A2) (“Projects”) that cover northern and southern portions of the City, respectively (see Attachments 2 and 3). These projects are for pavement preservation treatments only (slurry sealing and micro-surfacing). No full road-width paving or reconstruction is anticipated. The City received a total of six proposals that were evaluated for the proposed project team, approach, and estimated level of effort.
While HDR Engineering, Inc. (HDR) was identified as the second-highest ranked proposal based on experience with similar projects, comprehensive approach, and favorable references, the highest-ranked firm had already been selected for a separate contract for the Citywide Street Rehabilitation Package 6B Project. For the PMP4A1 and PMP4A2 Projects, HDR’s proposed scope, schedule, and budget all align with the City’s needs. Based on the above, staff recommends entering into a design professional services agreement with HDR to provide design services for these Projects for an amount not to exceed $584,000 and establishing a contingency reserve of $58,400 (10% of the contract budget) to cover any unforeseen changes during the design process. The proposed term of the agreement is through December 2027.
Design of the PMP4A1 and PMP4A2 Projects is anticipated to take nine months to complete. Staff anticipates advertising the PMP4A1 Project for construction in March 2025, with construction beginning in May 2025. For the PMP4A2 Project, staff anticipates advertising for construction in September 2025, with construction beginning in April 2026 after the winter season.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Sufficient funds are available in the Citywide Street Rehabilitation Package 2 (467008) project to award this agreement and establish the contingency reserve.

CITY OF SAN MATEO
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 existing or former use. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15301.)

Task 1 Deliverables
• Baseline schedule
• Monthly project progress report and schedule submitted with invoice • Meeting agendas and minutes
TASK 2 – SITE INVESTIGATIONS
Task 2.1 - Field Reconnaissance and Investigation
CONSULTANT will conduct a field reconnaissance to assess the existing pavement conditions, identify areas of unstable subgrade (limits of dig-out repairs), and note locations of the existing utility manholes and valve covers. Existing ADA ramps will be field-measured, and ramp slopes will be calculated so that each ramp is ADA-compliant for streets requiring microsurfacing. CONSULTANT will also document existing curbs and gutters in need of repair.
Task 2.2 - Curb Ramp and Street Assessment Review
CONSULTANT will review the Curb Ramp Report provided by the City for each curb ramp within the street section improvement limits. CONSULTANT will assess each curb ramp for streets requiring microsurfacing and propose solutions required to meet the ADA design criteria.
Task 2.3 - Topographic Survey
The CONSULTANT Team will perform a field survey, taking survey data points at the top of curb, flow line, lip of gutter, and back of sidewalk at each curb ramp location for the following intersections anticipating curb ramp improvements associated with microsurfacing improvement only:
PMP-4A1
• 5th Avenue at El Camino Real (2 curb ramps)
• 5th Avenue at San Mateo Drive (2 curb ramps)
• 5th Avenue at Laurel Avenue (1 curb ramp)
• 5th Avenue at Ellsworth Avenue (3 curb ramps)
• 5th Avenue at B Street (1 curb ramp)
• Alameda de Las Pulgas at Parrott Drive (3 curb ramps) PMP-4A2
• • Hillsdale Boulevard at Scenic Way (1 curb ramp)
• • Hillsdale Boulevard at Countryside Drive (2 curb ramps) • • Norfolk Street at Oxford Avenue (2 curb ramps)
The topographic survey will also include the locations of surface-visible utilities (including dips of inlets and maintenance holes), utility boxes, vaults, lights, signs, fire hydrants, trees and their drip lines, and existing driveways in the vicinity of the curb ramps.
42 of 2271
Design Professional Services 2024 Page 9 of 16
Rev 1/24
The survey control will be based on the California State Plane Coordinate System, North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83). The vertical control will be based on the City’s vertical datum. Topographic mapping will be created from the survey data and will be used as the base map for the design plans.
The City’s right-of-way will be based on available City as-built drawings and County record maps (parcel maps, record of surveys, subdivision maps).
Task 2.4 - Utility Investigations
CONSULTANT will conduct a search of potential utility owners (assumes up to 5 utility owners) who might have facilities within the Project limits. CONSULTANT will prepare utility request letters for the City to send to the owners, requesting record drawings of their facilities or confirming they do not have facilities that would be in conflict with the proposed improvements.
CONSULTANT will prepare a composite plan of existing utilities based on the information received from the utility owners and utility information received from the City. CONSULTANT will also identify potential conflicts between existing utilities and the proposed roadway improvements.
Task 2.5 – Utility Potholing (as needed)
CONSULTANT will prepare a potholing plan and discuss the proposed plan with the City. After reaching an agreement on the potholing plan, our potholing contractor will positively locate utilities with up to six (6) potholes.

Agenda Number: 9 Section Name: CONSENT CALENDAR Account Number: 10-4662 File ID: 24-8661 TO: City Council
FROM: Alex Khojikian, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Public Works Department
MEETING DATE: May 20, 2024
SUBJECT:
Citywide Street Rehabilitation Package 6B – Agreement
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve an agreement with Nichols Consulting Engineers, Inc. for design professional services for the Citywide Street Rehabilitation Package 6B project in an amount not to exceed $820,000; establish a contingency reserve of $82,000; and authorize the Public Works Director to execute the agreement in substantially the form presented and approve amendments, including no-cost time extensions, within the contingency amount.
BACKGROUND:
The City owns and maintains pavement assets consisting of approximately 200 miles of streets, bike paths, and alleyways.
The Pavement Management Program (PMP) implements annual capital improvement projects focused on pavement maintenance beyond the routine maintenance tasks performed by the City’s field maintenance crews.
On February 8, 2024, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Engineering Design Services for multiple projects including for the Citywide Street Rehabilitation Package 6B (PMP6B) project. This package of projects includes streets requiring more significant paving/reconstruction efforts. The City received a total of six proposals, which were evaluated on the proposed project team, approach, and estimated level of effort. Nichols Consulting Engineers, Inc. (NCE) was identified as the highest-ranked proposal based on experience with similar projects, comprehensive approach, and favorable references. In addition, NCE’s proposed scope, schedule, and budget all align with the City’s needs.
Based on the above, staff recommends entering a design professional services agreement with NCE to perform the design services for the PMP6B project in an amount not to exceed $820,000 and establish a contingency of $82,000 (10% of the contract budget) to cover any unforeseen changes during the design process. The proposed term of the agreement is through December 2026. The design of this Project is anticipated to take 12 months to complete. Staff anticipates advertising the project in June 2025, with construction beginning in August 2025.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Sufficient funds are available in the Citywide Street Rehabilitation Package 2 (467008) project to award this agreement and establish the contingency reserve.
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 existing or former use. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15301.)

SCOPE OF WORK
TASK 1 – PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND MEETINGS
1A) Project Kick-off Meeting / Progress Meetings
CONSULTANT will arrange a kick-off meeting with the City to initiate work on the project. The objectives will be:
• Review of the Scope of Work
• Establish Lines of Communication
• Establish Project Schedule and Milestones
• Define Design and Operation Criteria
It is critical to establish effective lines of communication with, and coordination amongst, the various stakeholders from the start to ensure the delivery of a high-quality project within budget and on schedule. In addition to City staff (Engineering, Maintenance, etc.), CONSULTANT will research and coordinate, as needed, with other agencies such as PG&E, AT&T, Caltrans, California Water Service and Westborough Water District, San Mateo Sewer, Stormwater and Wastewater, Schools, etc., to identify any potential conflicts, requirements, or design issues early to help minimize delays (and costs) later in the design process or during construction. At the Kick-Off Meeting, key deliverables for each Task and the Project Schedule would be reviewed and adjusted accordingly to meet City needs.
Throughout the project, CONSULTANT will be available to attend bi-weekly progress meetings with the City to maintain frequent communication and efficient decision making with the City. Bi-weekly meeting summaries will be prepared and submitted to the City that include completed activities summary, scheduled activities for next month, any issues identified from field review or data collection, updated project schedule, budget status, and other important project information identified in the kick-off meeting. The purpose of the progress meetings will be to identify and resolve any design or funding issues in a timely manner, present design alternatives and recommendations to City staff, and continue coordination with project stakeholders as necessary. Specific design submittal review meetings with City staff will be scheduled at each submittal milestone.
Task 1A Deliverables: Kick-off/Progress Meeting Agendas and Summaries 1B) Utility Coordination
As noted in the project Key Assumptions, CONSULTANT will share notification letters to applicable utility providers with a preliminary project schedule for street maintenance and rehabilitation, followed by planned treatment or excavation depth and approximate utility location information. This notification will occur at the time of project kick-off to allow utility providers to perform maintenance on their facilities prior to utility cut moratorium on the street paving areas and evaluate need for utility 64 of 2271
Design Professional Services 2024 Page 9 of 22
Rev 1/24
adjustments/lowering.
CONSULTANT will document all utility coordination notifications, conversations, and meetings with utility contacts and information in a matrix format with dates of correspondence. CONSULTANT will also keep the City informed of any project delays related to utilities.
Task 1B Deliverables: Utility notification letters and utility contact matrix.
TASK 2 – PAVEMENT REHABILITATION DESIGN
2A) Pavement and C&G Condition Survey
CONSULTANT will perform a visual pavement condition survey of each street section based on distresses.
The surveys will generally cover the travel and parking lanes and serve the purpose of refining the appropriate pavement treatments and identifying any potential problematic subgrade or drainage issues.
The survey will note the presence of load related and environmental distresses as they pertain to developing appropriate pavement treatments. Potential base repairs will be identified, marked, and recorded using GPS based software. CONSULTANT scope of work and condition surveys do not address issues including but not limited to traffic, safety and road hazards, geometric issues, or short-term maintenance that should be performed (i.e., pothole that should be repaired).
A visual assessment of all C&G will be included to identify areas where drainage or the adjacent pavement has been compromised. Based on criteria established with the City, CONSULTANT will determine what level of curb and gutter replacement will be pursued for design plans and documents.
If damaged C&G areas are more extensive than anticipated, it may require additional time to complete the surveys and CONSULTANT will notify the City. A summary table of repair candidates will be prepared with pertinent information including street, location, length, and picture, for City review and confirmation.
Task 2A Deliverables: Summary table of curb and gutter repair candidates. 2B) Pavement Coring
CONSULTANT will collect pavement section core samples (4-inch to 8-inch diameter cores) on all rehabilitation and potential reconstruction street sections at locations determined by CONSULTANT.
CONSULTANT current fee estimate assumes up to 73 core locations that CONSULTANT estimates will take up to 10 days to complete. For each core sample, CONSULTANT will measure and record the thickness of asphalt and concrete encountered in the pavement structural section, including the presence of any pavement reinforcing fabric.
Bulk samples of subgrade will be obtained in support of potential street reconstruction in accordance with the Key Assumptions. Up to 21 bulk samples (at least one bulk sample on each pavement section for rehabilitation) of subgrade materials will be tested for R-value, moisture content and Atterberg Limits (plasticity index, PI). The AB thickness will be measured/estimated in accordance with the Key Assumptions. CONSULTANT will arrange for traffic control services during pavement coring, which will conform to the latest standards contained within the MUTCD Part VI and the Caltrans Traffic Manual Chapter 5 “Traffic Control for Construction and Maintenance Work Zones,” as well as any local requirements that exist. CONSULTANT will also obtain an encroachment permit for pavement coring if required. CONSULTANT will also develop a map showing proposed coring locations for the City to review and to facilitate the encroachment permit if required.
65 of 2271
Design Professional Services 2024 Page 10 of 22
Rev 1/24
Task 2B Deliverables: Map of proposed coring locations. 2C) Pavement Deflection Testing
CONSULTANT will perform non-destructive pavement deflection testing in accordance with California Test Method (CTM) 356 to evaluate the structural capacity of the existing pavement section on the subject arterial and collector streets to be rehabilitated. The FWD is a conceptually simple yet powerful device for measuring the response of pavements under simulated wheel loads and estimating their structural capacities. All travel lanes of each arterial and collector street section will be tested at approximately 100-foot intervals.
Approximately 260 data points will be collected and CONSULTANT estimates that the FWD testing will take 1.5 days to complete. CONSULTANT will also include deflection testing in encroachment permits referenced under Key Assumptions, similar to coring work. Additionally, CONSULTANT will provide traffic control in accordance with the same standards discussed in pavement coring task. 2D) Pavement Design Recommendations
Using the data obtained in Task 2, CONSULTANT will perform pavement analysis and design services, and develop pavement maintenance, rehabilitation, and reconstruction recommendations for each street section. CONSULTANT will perform its analysis in accordance with the Caltrans Highway Design Manual and develop pavement structural section recommendations expressed in the form of a Traffic Index (TI) that will be provided by the City. CONSULTANT will develop recommendations including, but not limited to, the following:
• Surface Seal Applications: Slurry seal, Microsurfacing (Type II and Type III), Rubberized chip seal, combinations thereof
• Rehabilitation: Mill and Overlay, Cold-in-Place Recycling (CIR), Rubberized Hot Mix Asphalt (RHMA)
• Reconstruction (as needed): Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) over AB, Full-Depth HMA, and FDR • Locations and treatments of failed pavement sections (base repairs) CONSULTANT will then summarize its recommendations in a pavement design memorandum to the City that, at a minimum, will include the following:
• Results of pavement condition surveys, deflection testing, coring, and laboratory testing • Description of testing procedures and analysis performed for the project • Recommended alternatives for rehabilitation and preventive maintenance CONSULTANT will submit an electric copy of its draft technical and basis of pavement design memorandum to the City for initial review. Preliminary design results will be presented to the City including facilitating a workshop that will be attended by the Public Works Director and Deputy Director of Public Work for acceptance prior to proceeding with detailed design work. Upon receipt of any comments from the City, CONSULTANT will then prepare its final technical and basis of pavement design memorandum, which will be signed and stamped by CONSULTANT. The final technical and basis of design pavement memorandum will then be provided to the City reflecting any comments on the draft technical 66 of 2271

memorandum. CONSULTANT staff, including the project manager, lead civil project engineer, and principal engineers will also be available for up to two (2) additional strategy meetings to discuss pavement treatments, subgrade issues, costs, geometric considerations (e.g. drainage and cross-slopes) pavement performance and longevity, construction impacts, and utility constraints.
Task 2 Deliverables: Draft/final pavement technical and basis of pavement design memorandums, technical review workshop agenda and meeting summary, meeting agendas and summaries for up to two (2) strategy meetings.
TASK 3 – PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS & ESTIMATES (PS&E)
3A) Design Data Gathering
CONSULTANT will review relevant available data and records from the City as listed in Task 1 and stated Key Assumptions, and other sources that may be appropriate to support the preparation of project contract documents. These may include, but are not limited to, as-built street improvement and infrastructure plans, including any preliminary plans for future work that may conflict with this project.
The gathered information will be compiled and included in the base map used for design.
Available record data (e.g., utilities, right-of-way) used to prepare street base maps will account for utility lids or surface features within the roadway which may be affected by paving operations. CONSULTANT will conduct a field survey, using GPS based software to collect existing roadway features including roadway geometry from visual inspection, utility covers, typical cross-slopes at pedestrian crossings, striping and markings, and relevant traffic signage.
Record data for streets to have topographic survey will be shown in their approximate location. Utility depths from the GPR survey (Optional Task) and available as-builts will be included in the base map for streets to be reconstructed. Based on CONSULTANT review CONSULTANT will identify any data gaps or missing information and provide this information to the City for review and discussion. CONSULTANT will discuss with the City whether rehabilitation work must occur in the right-of-way, in order to save the City the cost and fees associated with obtaining encroachment permits, if at all possible.
Task 3A Deliverables: As needed encroachment permits, base maps (included in subsequent tasks) 3B) Topographic Survey
CONSULTANT’s Project Surveyor will complete monument/control recovery, field investigation and field surveys sufficient to prepare a topographic mapping product for select street locations and proposed curb ramp design locations, as stated under Key Assumptions. The mapping shall be compiled at an agreed upon scale with a 1’ contour interval and will be based on the City Datum.
The mapping area for Alameda de las Pulgas shall be a corridor along the street section between the existing back of walk to opposite back of walk, starting and stopping at the designated locations and including through the returns of the terminating streets. In the absence of an existing sidewalk, the survey will extend to 5 feet behind the curb or edge of pavement, or up to the first substantial barrier (wall, fence, etc.). Mapping will extend 25 feet beyond the curb return up each intersecting side street.
The topographic data to be collected is more specifically defined as:
• Cross-sections at 50’ intervals along with detailed surface topography and/or additional spot elevations as required defining the longitudinal and cross-slope grade breaks. 67 of 2271
Design Professional Services 2024 Page 12 of 22
Rev 1/24
• Surveyed locations for significant surface features. A structure inventory for sanitary and storm drain facilities reflecting rim and invert elevations, pipe direction and size will be provided for accessible structures.
• Location of all surface evident street monumentation within the mapping corridor. • Location of underground utility locator markings, where provided. • Provide a finished draft topographic survey for each area of work and AutoCAD Civil3D DTM surface for each street section.
CONSULTANT’s surveyor will calculate the record data location of the existing right-of-way for the mapping corridor and will calculate and show the location of each adjoining parcel lot line from record data (assessor’s parcel data, record mapping and apparent lines of occupation). It should be noted that property line data will not be based upon a field survey and is considered approximate.
Survey on N. Humboldt Street will extend up to the street centerline and that at 805 Highland Avenue will focus primarily on the curb and gutter.
Task 3B Deliverables: Topographic survey results.
3C) Preliminary Design (30% P&E)
Using data collected in previous tasks, CONSULTANT will develop preliminary design documents (30% level of completion) for each street section. Preliminary design drawings will be based on base maps prepared using information collected in previous tasks and as stated in Key Assumption. Drawings will include existing right-of-way and depict basic street layout and preliminary pavement treatments with pertinent geometric information. Drawings will be scaled at a scale of 1-inch = 20-feet.
The Engineer’s Cost Estimate will be prepared in MS Excel format and based on the most recent construction cost data available to CONSULTANT for projects of this type. The 30% plans will be prepared in AutoCAD format on 22-inches x 34-inches sheets. It is assumed that the City will require a 15-day review/comment period once each 30% P&E package is submitted.
In combination with CONSULTANT’s pavement design and basis of design technical memorandums, during development of the 30% P&E CONSULTANT will discuss and confirm pavement treatment alternatives, subgrade stabilization measures, street geometric constraints and cross-slopes, curb and gutter replacement, non-compliant curb ramps, drainage issues, and summary of utility location data and possible utility conflicts/concerns. CONSULTANT’s staff including the project manager, lead civil project engineer, and principal engineers will also be available for up to two (2) additional strategy meetings during preliminary design for each design package. Strategy discussions will focus on key design elements and constraints, overall schedule and budget, community outreach and key issues, lessons learned from previous projects and how to structure and develop construction documents with respect to reducing construction impacts, bidding strategies including packaging and alternates, sequencing of streets and work, and contingencies.
Task 3C Deliverables: Meeting agendas and summaries for up to two (2) strategy meetings per design package. One reproducible copy of 30% plans, engineer’s estimate, and summary of agreed upon design criteria and decisions for each design package.

Rev 1/24
3D) 90% PS&E
Preliminary P&E (30% P&E) will be revised to incorporate comments received from the City as well as agreed upon design criteria and decisions, from which the 90% PS&E will be prepared. CONSULTANT will provide a response to each comment that is included in a comment table provided by the City.
The 90% plans will incorporate typical design elements, existing and proposed contours (where available), pavement treatments, right-of-way parcel lines, wedge or conform grind locations, typical cross-sections, C&G repairs, gutter flow line for drainage repairs, curb ramp replacement and details and limits of work, and site-specific striping and signage plans. Plan sheets will include base repair schedules and show individual repair locations.
CONSULTANT will prepare the project technical Special Provisions in MS Word format and follow the City’s formatting conventions, with reference to Caltrans 2018 Standard Specifications and City standard provisions. CONSULTANT may recommend deviating from Caltrans standards where, from CONSULTANT’s experience, such changes will improve the likelihood of achieving a successful construction project for a local agency without compromising the integrity of the design.
The Engineer’s Cost Estimate will be updated to reflect the refined construction design. It is assumed that the City will require a 15-day review/comment period once each 90% PS&E package is submitted.
Task 3D Deliverables: One reproducible copy of 90% plans, technical specifications, and engineer’s estimate
3E) Final (Bid Set) PS&E
The 90% PS&E will be revised to incorporate comments received from the City to prepare the Final (Bid Set) PS&E. Similar to 90% PS&E, CONSULTANT will provide a response to each comment that is included in a comment table provided by the City. The Final (Bid Set) PS&E will include all notes and details necessary for construction. One electronic copy of the final (Bid Set) PS&E will then be packaged and submitted similar to the 90% PS&E unless directed otherwise. Upon receipt of the City’s final review comments, the project documents will be finalized for bidding purposes. A final quantity calculation will be tabulated and entered into the final Engineer’s Cost Estimate for each project. All final documents will be reviewed, stamped, and signed by CONSULTANT’s registered civil engineer, and the Final PS&E will be delivered to the City in electronic format.
Task 3E Deliverables: One electronic file of the final plans, technical specifications, and engineer’s estimate for each design package.

TASK 5 – OPTIONAL TASKS
5A) Construction Support Services
CONSULTANT will provide up to 132 hours of support services to the City during construction. At a minimum, these services are anticipated to include attendance at the pre-construction conference, reviewing contractor submittals and responding to contractor RFIs, field verification of localized repair (base repairs and C&G) areas, subgrade repairs after proof rolling, curb ramp layouts, providing recommendations for any necessary construction changes due to unforeseen field conditions, and reviewing construction for acceptance. This task does not provide any field inspection services. If effort beyond the estimated hours is necessary, CONSULTANT staff time will be delivered on a time and materials basis at an additional cost.
Task 5A Deliverables: Attend Pre-Construction Conference; Assist with review of contractor submittals and RFIs as necessary; Provide recommendations for any necessary construction changes due to unforeseen conditions; and Assist with review of contract change orders. 5B) Utility Location
Using GPR, CONSULTANT’s utility locator will field locate utility alignments and depths for utility mains and laterals for utilities within all streets identified for reconstruction in accordance with Key Assumptions to the extent that GPR methods can detect utilities. GPR along utility mains will be marked at various locations along each street section, and the accuracy for the electronic depths will depend on the soil conditions and utility material. Traffic control will consist of a 1-man crew with traffic control arrow board and signs. Pressure washing of paint marks is excluded from this scope.
Task 5B Deliverables: Marked utility depth and alignments and electronic collection of utility information. 5C) Utility Potholing
If GPR cannot establish utility alignments and or depths at some locations, potholing may need to be performed to identify necessary utility relocations or adjustments as well as validation of sufficient clearance. CONSULTANT assumed up to 20 potholes will be conducted to verify underground utility depth in accordance with stated assumptions. CONSULTANT will discuss with the City to confirm selected utility locations for optional potholing in this project.
Task 5C Deliverables: Updated utility information to be summarized in the pothole report.
SCOPE KEY ASSUMPTIONS
City’s Responsibilities
CONSULTANT has assumed that the City will be able to provide the following to the extent available:

2. Pavement coring will be performed with spacing criteria and bulk samples as follows:
a. Up to 73 pavement cores will be obtained. Coring frequency is approximately every 500 lane feet for potential reconstruction, 1,000 lane feet for rehabilitation, and 1,500 lane feet for surface seal candidate street which are borderline candidate for rehabilitation, with a minimum of two cores per street section and cores taken in shoulder or parking lanes where a street is crowned.
b. A minimum of two (2) bulk samples of subgrade will be obtained per rehabilitation street section for laboratory testing including R-value, Plasticity Index and Moisture Content.
Bulk samples will not be collected for surface seal street sections. c. Aggregate base (AB) thickness will be measured at all bulk sample locations and will be measured or estimated in thickness at remaining pavement coring locations using dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP).
d. As requested by the City, pavement core holes will be backfilled with base material and non-shrink cement grout.
3. Base repairs will be measured in length and width to estimate base repair bid quantities for all street sections. It is the intent that base repair quantities will be for bidding quantity purposes only and that actual locations will be marked by CONSULTANT with the City’s inspectors prior to construction.
4. A no-fee encroachment permit will be obtained with the City for all pavement testing, if required.
Topographic Surveying and Base Maps
1. As requested by the City, a topographic and boundary survey (where applicable) will be completed for the following street locations:
a. Alameda de las Pulgas, from 39th Avenue to La Casa Avenue (1,900 LF). b. 805 Highland Avenue, for 100 linear feet at location of tree root uplift (100 LF). c. East side of N. Humboldt Street, from Bayswater Avenue to Howard Avenue (630 LF).
2. Except for those noted above, all streets will utilize County parcel/aerial base maps, as streets are assumed to not include significant drainage improvements, complex changes in street geometry or intersection improvements, or full pavement section reconstruction. Street designs 71 of 2271
Design Professional Services 2024 Page 16 of 22
Rev 1/24
will be drawn to 20-scale. Should CONSULTANT determine that topographic information is required, CONSULTANT can provide topographic survey work for additional scope and fee.
3. As requested by the City, a topographic survey will be completed at all proposed curb ramp design locations. The survey will extend 25 feet on either side of the ramp location.
Approximately 113 curb ramp locations are assumed to be surveyed and designed. Boundary survey is not included at these survey locations. The mapping will be based upon assumed horizontal and vertical datums, and durable survey control points will be established for later use during the construction phase.
4. Assume all street improvement work will be within City right-of-way, as this has impacts to the level of effort required to completion of design.
Utility Coordination and Location
1. CONSULTANT will prepare and distribute utility notification letters to collect facility maps and asbuilts, confirm utility planned work, and notify utilities of the City’s utility cut moratorium on improved streets. CONSULTANT will prepare and distribute a second round of letters including utility location information based on GPR (Optional Task) that is provided for street sections proposed for reconstruction to solicit feedback and need for utility relocation or adjustments.
2. Utility field location will be completed using GPR (Optional Task) to field locate and mark utility alignments and approximate depths of mains and laterals within street sections which are candidates for reconstruction (e.g., FDR) to the extent that GPR can detect utilities. Utility location markings will be included in topographic surveys. GPR data is for planning purposes and will be provided as a courtesy to utilities to help expedite their assessments. Utilities will be responsible to review their facilities, perform additional utility potholes, if necessary, to identify any conflict which require adjustment of their facilities.
3. Underground utility locating will not be performed for surface seal or rehabilitation streets.
However, utility covers will be inventoried and shown and/or quantified on plans to develop bid quantities for adjusting and/or protection of utility covers.
4. If pavement reconstruction is required instead of rehabilitation, CONSULTANT will discuss with the City utility location options (e.g., GPR) and can provide for additional scope and fee for those additional sections.
5. If required, CONSULTANT has included up to 20 utility potholing locations as an optional task that are assumed to be patched with cold patch in the event there are key locations where critical utility facilities require greater accuracy or verification. Otherwise, utility locations will be identified from GPR survey results for reconstruction streets.
Traffic Striping
1. Traffic striping is assumed to match existing patterns and include adjustments to meet current CA Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) standards. 72 of 2271
Design Professional Services 2024 Page 17 of 22

2. Up to an additional 5 signage and striping sheets are assumed to be prepared to implement bicycle and/or pedestrian improvements which are noted in the City’s Bicycle Master Plan and Transit Oriented Development Pedestrian Access Plan.
3. No significant traffic striping changes or design requiring traffic studies or assessment of traffic impacts is planned or included as a part of this scope.
4. Striping plans will only be developed for all street sections. Striping types and quantities will be inventoried for the purposes of developing bid quantities.
Traffic Control Plans
1. Traffic control plans are not included in the scope of work. It is assumed the City’s contractor will prepare traffic control plans in accordance with project technical specifications and requirements and submit to the City for review.
Curb Ramps, Crosswalks, and Sidewalk
1. It is assumed that non-compliant curb ramps will be replaced or retrofitted (excluding slurry seal streets) in accordance with Caltrans standards. Curb ramps will be replaced or retrofitted based on guidance from the DOJ/DOT Joint Technical Assistance on the Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act Requirements to Provide Curb Ramps when Streets, Roads, or Highways are Altered through Resurfacing dated July 8, 2013. Further clarification on curb ramp replacement included in this scope of work is as follows:
a. Utility relocations (e.g., utility poles, utility boxes, and drainage inlets) required to construct curb ramps are not included in this scope of work. b. All ramp construction shall be within City R/W. Where available County parcel information is to be used, City R/W is assumed to be at existing back of walk. c. For curb ramps within hills or steepened grades, curb ramp design shall only extend up to 15 feet in the uphill direction, beyond which is considering chasing the grade.
2. Crosswalks and implied walkways between curb ramps will be designed in accordance with the latest Public Right-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG) and Caltrans Design Information Bulletin (DIB) 82-06 accessibility guidance for both running slope and cross-slope. This guidance will be reviewed with the City to confirm design approach.
3. Site-specific curb ramp details will be provided and use collected topographic survey information.
4. Sidewalk repair survey and replacement is not included in this scope of work but can be added if required for additional scope and fee.
Stormwater Drainage and Compliance
1. The project will, to the extent possible, and within the context of proposed rehabilitation and preventive maintenance, address visible drainage issues. No major drainage improvements are assumed for this project requiring significant stormwater drain and pipe alteration and/or reconstruction.
73 of 2271
Design Professional Services 2024 Page 18 of 22
Rev 1/24
2. As needed, the project will manage drainage patterns based on geometric changes to street grades and widths for proposed improvements requiring new flow lines and replacement of storm drains as needed.
3. This project will be designed in accordance with the recent third reissuance of the San Francisco Bay Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit (MRP 3.0) and the new regulated project thresholds in Provision C.3 of the SMWPPP. Although not currently anticipated, streets which will be reconstructed and the contiguous 1-acre threshold is exceeded, additional scope and fee for the design of green infrastructure may be provided.
Encroachment Permit
1. If the limits of pavement improvements are found to extend into a neighboring City, CONSULTANT will complete and obtain the required City encroachment permit for construction, if needed, with permitting fees paid by the City.
2. Based on the City’s project street lists, multiple project street sections are adjacent to El Camino Real (Caltrans R/W). The City has indicated that it will prepare Caltrans encroachment permit applications, as needed.
3. CONSULTANT will apply for no-fee City encroachment permits for all field work, including pavement coring and falling weight deflectometer (FWD), if required. 74 of 2271

Agenda Number: 10 Section Name: CONSENT CALENDAR Account Number: 10-4662 File ID: 24-8670 TO: City Council
FROM: Alex Khojikian, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Public Works Department
MEETING DATE: May 20, 2024
SUBJECT:
Train Horn Noise Quiet Zone Projects – Service Agreement RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a Service Agreement with the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board for the Train Horn Noise Quiet Zone projects at Villa Terrace and East Bellevue Avenue in the amount of $59,440; establish a contingency reserve in the amount of $9,000; and authorize the Director of Public Works to execute the Agreement in substantially the form presented and approve amendments within the contingency amount.
BACKGROUND:
On June 20, 2023, at the Special City Council Meeting, staff presented an update to the Citywide Train Horn Noise Quiet Zone (Quiet Zone) effort, which would minimize train horn noise near rail crossings. To establish a Quiet Zone under Federal Railway Administration requirements, staff proposed the following projects, which were recommended by a 2022 Traffic Study as the most cost-effective option with minimal impacts on residents and businesses (Improvements):
• Villa Terrace: The permanent closure of the Villa Terrace at-grade railroad crossing. Pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists will no longer be able to cross the railroad tracks at this location. • East Bellevue Avenue: Installation 100-foot traffic safety medians near the railroad crossing on both sides of the tracks.
On February 19, 2019, Council authorized Public Works to enter into agreements with three firms, including Bellecci & Associates, Inc. (Bellecci) for on-call professional consulting services for various capital improvement projects. In January 2024, after soliciting proposals from all three on-call consultants, the City selected Bellecci for design and project management support of the Improvements. Bellecci has now completed preliminary design and is progressing to detailed design while considering feedback from public outreach and stakeholders wherever feasible.
To educate the community about the Improvements, in early 2024 staff performed comprehensive community outreach, including bilingual outreach materials (e.g. approximately 3,000 mailed notices, E-news updates, and physical posters at the proposed project sites), coordination with neighbourhood schools and property management companies, City social media updates, door-knocking at over 300 homes, and an online community survey. Staff will continue outreach to ensure the Improvements best align with the community’s needs.
Coordination with Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board (PCJPB) The Improvements occur adjacent to and within PCJPB Right-of-Way. The proposed Service Agreement (Attachment 2) is required for PCJPB review of the design of the Improvements in accordance with PCJPB design and safety standards, and overall coordination of the Improvements. PCJPB estimated an Agreement amount of $59,440. Staff recommends a contingency amount of $9,000 (15% of the agreement’s budget) to cover unforeseen costs, as needed. Any unused funds 81 of 2271
CITY OF SAN MATEO
will be returned to the City, and PCJPB will not charge more than the Agreement amount unless an Amendment to the proposed Service Agreement is approved. In addition, as the design is nearing completion, PCJPB and the City plan to amend this Agreement in the future to include PCJPB’s fees during construction. If such fees exceed the contingency amount, staff will bring this item back to City Council with a recommendation to approve a subsequent Amendment.
Next Steps
The design of these Improvements is anticipated to be complete in late Fall 2024. Staff anticipates advertising the project for construction by the end of 2024. After construction is complete, staff will apply for Quiet Zone status by end of 2025.
Staff will present an update for the Quiet Zone effort at a City Council Study Session on June 17, 2024, and bring a future construction contract award recommendation to City Council following the completion of design.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Sufficient funds are available in the Train Horn Noise Project (462205) to fund this agreement.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
Approval of a Service Agreement between the City and the PCJPB is not a project subject to CEQA, because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the review of the Improvements design intended to minimize train horn noise may have a significant effect on the environment. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).)

SUBJECT:
Bermuda Drive Utility Relocation Project – Agreement
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution to approve an agreement with Pacific Gas & Electric for the Bermuda Drive Utility Relocation Project in the amount of $186,685.48; and authorize the Director of Public Works to execute the Agreement in substantially the form presented.
BACKGROUND:
On May 21, 2018, City Council approved the award of a professional services agreement with Biggs Cardosa Associates (BCA) for design and environmental documentation services for the Bermuda Drive Bridge Replacement Project. During design, BCA identified a utility conflict that will impede construction of the bridge replacement. On the north side of the bridge, existing overhead Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) electrical lines prohibit pile installation equipment to be raised and install the required bridge piles. These overhead lines need to be placed underground and out of the way of the pile equipment prior to the bridge construction work. The Bermuda Drive Utility Relocation Project (Project) is a subproject of the larger Bermuda Drive Bridge Replacement Project and will underground these electrical lines.
The Project is a joint effort by the City and PG&E. On December 4, 2023, City Council approved award of a construction agreement with St. Francis Electric to perform the City’s portion of the work that includes trenching and installing conduits and access vaults. As the serving utility, PG&E’s role includes engineering, inspection, and a portion of the construction (poles, risers, cables, and connections) needed to complete the undergrounding of electrical lines. As PG&E is the sole provider for electrical services, the City must contract with PG&E for successful completion of this work. A resolution is an appropriate way to document the contract with PG&E in lieu of competitive bidding for the project, as authorized by Municipal Code section 3.60.050(b).
The total cost of the PG&E work is $186,685.48, with the City having paid a $10,000 deposit during the design phase in September 2019. The balance due to PG&E is $176,685.48.
Staff therefore recommends approving the Agreement with PG&E to allow City staff to compensate PG&E for the remaining agreement amount of $176,685.48 to advance the Bermuda Drive Utility Relocation Project.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Sufficient funds are available for this PG&E work from the Bermuda Drive Bridge Replacement Project, Project No. 462250.
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, 84 of 2271
CITY OF SAN MATEO
mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15301.)

RESOLUTION NO. (2024)
A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AGREEMENT WITH PACIFIC GAS & ELECTRIC (PG&E) FOR THE BERMUDA
DRIVE UTILITY RELOCATION PROJECT
WHEREAS, the Bermuda Drive Bridge Replacement Project (“Project”) is currently in the design phase and intended to address identified structural deficiencies of the bridge; and WHEREAS, existing overhead PG&E electrical lines impede construction of the Project because they prohibit pile installation equipment to be raised to install bridge piles; and WHEREAS, the Bermuda Drive Utility Relocation Project (“Subproject”) was formed wherein the City and PG&E will work collaboratively to underground the electrical lines prior to Project construction in a joint effort to allow for the pile installation; and WHEREAS, as part of the Subproject, PG&E is required to provide engineering, inspection, and specific construction services necessary to complete the utility undergrounding; and WHEREAS, the City is required to enter into an agreement with PG&E and compensate PG&E in an amount of $186,685.48 for PG&E’s portion of the work; and WHEREAS, on September 25, 2019, the City paid a deposit of $10,000 for PG&E’s portion of the work and a balance of $176,685.48 remains to be paid; and WHEREAS, pursuant to San Mateo Municipal Code Section 3.60.050(b), agreements may be awarded without competitive bids if calling for bids would be impracticable, unavailing, or impossible; and
WHEREAS, City staff recommends approval of an agreement with PG&E in order to underground electrical lines prior to construction of the Project.
NOW, THEREFORE THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MATEO, CALIFORNIA, HEREBY FINDS and RESOLVES that:
1. The execution of an Agreement with PG&E to underground electrical lines 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 existing or former use. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15301.)
2. In accordance with Municipal Code section 3.60.050(b), calling for bids would be impracticable, unavailing, or impossible because: a) PG&E is the owner of the electrical lines requiring undergrounding; b) PG&E is the serving utility and its services for the Subproject includes engineering, inspection, and a portion of the required 86 of 2271
construction; and c) no other organization is permitted to conduct the work required for the Subproject.
3. The related agreement with PG&E to compensate the remaining $176,685.48 for their portion of the work for the Bermuda Drive Utility Relocation Project is approved.
4. The Public Works Director is authorized to sign and execute the agreement in substantially the form attached.

SUBJECT:
Summer Children’s and Youth Theater Program – Agreement RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution to approve an alternative purchasing procedure and approve an agreement with Bay Area Educational Theater Company to provide children’s and youth theater programs during the summer camp programing from June 16, 2024 through August 31, 2025 in an amount not to exceed $254,000; and authorize the Director of Parks and Recreation to execute the agreement and approve change orders up to $25,000 in substantially the form presented.
BACKGROUND:
Bay Area Educational Theater Company (ETC) is a local non-profit organization that provides youth educational and production theater experiences. Established in 1996, they have provided summer theater programs for San Mateo Parks and Recreation Department for 20+ years. They provide quality experiences and productions and have developed a loyal following of families.
San Mateo Municipal Code Section 3.60.070(h)(3) authorizes the City Council to award contracts that are in the City’s best interest using alternative purchasing procedures. This is a negotiated contract based upon the ETC’s instructional abilities, expertise in the subject field, and marketability to potential patrons, thus qualifying this contract to be awarded using alternative purchasing procedures.
Payment terms include two items. First is the core part of the contract, which calls for 70% of the course fee proceeds to be paid to ETC, excluding a $10.00 per patron administrative fee. This is in the range of typical recreation instructional services in San Mateo and surrounding agencies. Second, an additional materials fee is charged to registrants, and 100% of this is paid to ETC to cover their direct costs for materials.
BUDGET IMPACT:
It is anticipated that gross revenues will be approximately $175,000 per year including material fees. Payments to ETC will be approximately $127,000, resulting in net revenue to the City of approximately $48,000.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
This agreement 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.)

2nd & El Camino Garage Improvements – Amendment
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Amendment No. 2 with ZFA Structural Engineers for additional structural investigation services at the 2nd and El Camino Garage in the amount of $45,201.50, for a revised total amount of $197,441.50; and authorize the Public Works Director to execute the amendment in substantially the form presented.
BACKGROUND:
The 2nd & El Camino Garage has served the San Mateo downtown community for over seventy-five years. It is a concrete structure that has 385 parking spaces spanning five and a half stories. In 2022, ZFA Structural Engineers (ZFA) performed a structural investigation which identified exposed, ruptured, and corroded post-tension beam tendons in various areas and recommended that repairs be made to restore the integrity of the structure. In 2023, the City developed a two-phased approach to address structural issues. Phase 1 includes post-tension Beam Tendon Repairs, which includes the replacement of post-tension beam tendons in multiple areas. Phase 2 includes Parking Garage Structural and Safety Improvements, which includes the replacement of the stairs, improvements to the concrete surfaces, rebar, lighting, vehicle barriers, exterior façade, public sidewalk, signage, striping, waterproofing, and security system, and implementation of the City’s Downtown Parking Garage Pedestrian Safety Plan. The design documents for the first phase of repairs to the post-tensioned beam tendons were produced in 2023 and the project was awarded for construction in January 2024. Design documents for the Phase 2 repairs are currently in production.
In February 2024, City Council approved a professional services agreement with ZFA in the amount of $139,287.50, with a $21,000 contingency reserve, for full-time engineering and monitoring during the construction phase to observe, identify, and document structural changes as they occur. In early April 2024, Amendment No. 1 was executed increasing the compensation to ZFA in the amount of $12,952.50, for a total agreement amount of $152,240.00, utilizing existing contingency reserves in order to perform a laser level survey while the structure was unloaded to serve as a baseline for ongoing monitoring support during construction. A contingency reserve remains in the amount of $8,047.50.
In late April 2024, new cracks were discovered at critical structural beam locations, elevating the need to immediately evaluate the integrity of the structure at each level of the parking garage. Based on ZFA’s expertise and extensive experience with this specific facility, ZFA was immediately directed to provide additional services to perform scanning, sampling, testing, and recommending a solution to mitigate further damage in these locations. The scope and fee of these services were completed beyond the previously authorized agreement, scope, and fee, and were necessary to immediately complete due to the potential safety risks. The remaining contingency is insufficient to cover these additional services by ZFA.
Based on the above, staff recommends approving Amendment No. 2 to include the additional scope and increased 107 of 2271
CITY OF SAN MATEO
compensation to ZFA in the amount of $45,201.50, for a revised total amount of $197,441.50.
BUDGET IMPACT:
There is sufficient funding available in the Parking Facility Structural Repairs (46F025) project to fund this amendment.
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 existing or former use.

SUBJECT:
Casanova Park Restroom Remodel – Contingency Increase
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve an increase to the contingency reserve associated with the Newton Construction & Management, Inc. construction contract for the Casanova Park Restroom Remodel in the amount of $75,000, for a revised total contingency reserve of $120,000; and authorize the Public Works Director to issue change orders within the contingency amount.
BACKGROUND:
In 2016, the Public Works Facilities Division and the Parks and Recreation Department assessed all park restrooms and developed a long-term plan for phased remodeling, based on greatest need and available funding. The Beresford, Los Prados, Martin Luther King, Bayside, and Parkside restrooms included in Phases 1, 2 and 3 were remodeled between 2016 and 2017. The park restrooms included in Phase 4 of the remodeling program are located at Indian Springs, Casanova, and Fiesta Meadows parks.
City Council awarded three separate construction contracts to Newton Construction & Management, Inc. (Newton) for the Indian Springs restroom in May 2022, Casanova restroom in October 2022, and Fiesta Meadows restroom in February 2023. Although each restroom location has unique needs, the general scope of work for each location includes the installation of new wall panels, doors, accessibility improvements, new fixtures, partitions, flooring, lighting, a drinking fountain, and painting.
Due to the level of unforeseen conditions at the Indian Springs and Casanova locations, staff instructed Newton to delay the start of construction at Fiesta Meadows in the event that the construction contingencies established were deemed insufficient to complete work at the first two locations. Fortunately, Indian Springs concluded in early 2024, but the renovations at Casanova are projected to exceed the construction contract and contingency amount of $343,253.22 due to unforeseen existing conditions that were found to be non-code compliant. These unexpected Casanova costs exceed the remaining available project budget in the Park Restroom Refurbishment Phase IV Project fund. The Casanova contract is currently scheduled for completion in June 2024.
To manage the budgets, staff coordinated with Newton to terminate the Fiesta Meadows Park Restroom Remodel construction contract, which Newton was agreeable with. The Fiesta Meadows remodel will then be recommended for award at a forthcoming Council meeting. The contract termination allowed for $198,780.47 to return to the Park Restroom Refurbishment Phase IV Project fund, which allows for available funding for the completion of the Casanova Park Restroom Remodel construction project.
Based on the above, staff recommend increasing the contingency reserve associated with the Casanova Park Restroom Remodel construction contract by $75,000 to address the additional scope and complete the project as scheduled. 112 of 2271
CITY OF SAN MATEO
BUDGET IMPACT:
With the termination of the Fiesta Meadows Park Restroom Remodel construction contract, there is sufficient funding available in the Park Restroom Refurbishment Phase IV Project (46F002) to fund the contingency increase.
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 existing or former use.

PREPARED BY: Human Resources Department
MEETING DATE: May 20, 2024
SUBJECT:
Police Department and City Clerk’s Office – Classification Updates RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution to 1) add 1.0 Full Time Equivalent Senior Management Analyst position in the Police Department; 2) update the job specification for the classification of Senior Management Analyst; 3) increase the salary range for the Deputy City Clerk classification; and 4) update the job specification for the classification of Deputy City Clerk.
BACKGROUND:
Police Department - Add 1.0 FTE Senior Management Analyst and update the job specification for the classification:
For the past two years, the Police Department has implemented the Community Wellness and Crisis Response Team (CWCRT), which included the department paying for a clinician to be provided by the local non-profit, Star Vista, and embedded at the PD for crisis response alongside police officers. The CWCRT has been a resounding success, and the addition of the clinician has improved and expanded how the PD meets the behavioral health crisis needs of the San Mateo community. At the same time, as part of separate initiatives, the PD has implemented a Homeless Outreach Team (HOT), an additional CWCRT clinician, and is in the process of bringing on a domestic violence victim advocate through another local, non-profit, Community Overcoming Relationship Abuse (CORA) – to be completed in the Fall of 2024, to optimally serve the community.
Given this increase of civilian, alternative response units, the PD has recognized the important need to add a Senior Management Analyst position to help oversee, manage, and coordinate these programs and employees, both internally at the PD and also with the partner participating agencies. By adding this position, the PD will ensure proper management of these units and programs, appropriate span of control in oversight, and, with the update to the job specification, the Senior Management Analyst will have the background clearance required and driving ability to go out into the field to oversee the employees of these civilian units as appropriate. The proposed resolution recommends adding 1.0 FTE Senior Management Analyst position in the PD, and revising the Senior Management Analyst job specification to reflect the duties and required license and background checks when assigned to the PD.
City Clerk’s Office – Increase the Deputy City Clerk salary range and update the job specification for the classification:
The Deputy City Clerk position serves as second in command for the City Clerk's Office and, in the absence of the City Clerk, is expected to perform the duties of the Department Head. The duties and responsibilities of the Deputy City Clerk position have evolved from the original intent, and has become a position requiring specialized skills, experience, and ongoing professional development. The proposed resolution recommends revising the job specification to accurately reflect the essential duties and minimum qualifications of the classification.
The compensation study conducted by Bryce Consulting in February 2024 using the labor market survey agencies listed in the City’s Management Association Memorandum of Understanding to set the top salary range showed the Deputy City 114 of 2271
CITY OF SAN MATEO
Clerk position is 36.77% below labor market median in maximum base salary. Consistent with the City’s compensation philosophy to pay competitive salaries in order to attract and retain highly qualified employees, the proposed resolution recommends setting the monthly salary range of the Deputy City Clerk to match the Senior Management Analyst at $9,743.85 - $11,624.18. This would result in a 34.09% salary range increase for the Deputy City Clerk classification effective May 26, 2024.
BUDGET IMPACT:
The Deputy City Clerk salary increase will have no impact in fiscal year 2023-24. For fiscal year 2024-25, the total estimated compensation increase will be $43,000. Any future costs will be built into the City Clerk’s personnel budget. Adding the Sr.
Management Analyst to the Police Department will not have any impact in fiscal year 2023-24 as it will not be possible to complete the recruitment process before the end of the current fiscal year. Future costs for this position are estimated to be $193,000 for fiscal year 2024-25, which will be included in the department’s personnel budget, and will be offset by a reduction of contract services within the Police Department’s operating budget, resulting in no additional impact to the General Fund.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
These classification updates are not subject to CEQA, because they are government fiscal activities that will not cause a physical change in the environment. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4).)

Agenda Number: 16 Section Name: CONSENT CALENDAR Account Number: 72-4675 File ID: 24-8732 TO: City Council
FROM: Alex Khojikian, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Public Works Department
MEETING DATE: May 20, 2024
SUBJECT:
Emergency Communications Equipment – Indemnity Agreement RECOMMENDATION:
Approve an indemnity agreement between the City and the San Mateo County Pre-Hospital Emergency Medical Services Group; and authorize the City Manager to execute the indemnity agreement in substantially the form presented.
BACKGROUND:
The City and San Mateo Consolidated Fire Department (SMCFD) currently utilize various antennae located on private properties to ensure effective communications for emergency responders. These antennae were installed on various rooftops of tall buildings to maximize the effectiveness of the antennae and minimize interference. In these instances, the City executes a license agreement with the respective property owner granting the City a license allowing it to maintain the antennae, and associated accessory equipment, on the property.
On September 1, 2019, the City and ROMEL 400 LLC (Property Owner) entered into a License Agreement (License Agreement) allowing the City to maintain certain public safety communications equipment on the rooftop and in the boiler room of the building located at 400 South El Camino Real in San Mateo (Property). The equipment at this location includes communications equipment utilized by SMCFD for public safety.
In 2019, SMCFD commenced operations as an independent fire department and separated from the City of San Mateo.
Because of this, SMCFD is no longer a party to the City’s License Agreement with the Property Owner.
The San Mateo County Pre-Hospital Emergency Medical Services Group (SMC Medical Services), a joint powers authority working on behalf of SMCFD, is currently in the process of upgrading all communications equipment being utilized at the Property, and will assume responsibility for the communications equipment essential to their operations located at the Property by way of a separate license agreement, which is in process to be executed. SMC Medical Services needs immediate access to the Property to upgrade the communications equipment. The Property Owner will allow SMC Medical Services to do so under the City’s existing License Agreement, but indemnity provisions between the City and SMC Medical Services are required. The City is agreeable to authorizing immediate access by SMC Medical Services pursuant to the terms of a separate indemnity agreement (Attachment 1).
Based on the reasons stated above, staff recommends for Council to approve an indemnity agreement between the City and SMC Medical Services, authorizing SMC Medical Services to enter and upgrade portions of the communications equipment utilizing the current License Agreement.
BUDGET IMPACT:
There is no budgetary impact from this action.

CITY OF SAN MATEO
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
The approval of an indemnity agreement between the City and the JPA allowing access to upgrade public safety related communications equipment is not subject to CEQA review under the “common sense” exemption because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this activity may have a significant effect on the environment. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).)

PREPARED BY: Community Development Department
MEETING DATE: May 20, 2024
SUPPLEMENTAL CONTENT ADDED: May 20, 2024 (Highlighted in Attachments Section) SUBJECT:
General Plan Amendment to Adopt San Mateo's Revised 2023-2031 Housing Element RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution to approve a General Plan Amendment to adopt the Revised Housing Element for the Sixth Housing Cycle (2023-2031) that is compliant with State law, provides a plan for at least 10,286 new housing units, and affirmatively furthers fair housing, and is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act, based on the identified findings.
BACKGROUND:
The City of San Mateo (City) has prepared an update to the Housing Element of the General Plan to affirmatively further fair housing and accommodate the City’s 7,015-unit Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) for the Sixth Housing Element Cycle (2023-2031). The content of the 2023-2031 Housing Element is structured for consistency with the requirements set forth in State law. In addition to responding to requirements of State law, the Housing Element also demonstrates the City’s strategy to meeting its housing needs as determined by local and regional growth projections through identification of sites as well as policies and programs that promote housing development in the City.
This staff report provides a summary of the Housing Element requirements and an overview of the review and engagement process with the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). On January 19, 2024, HCD determined that the City’s draft Housing Element was in substantial compliance with Housing Element law (Government Code Section 65580 et seq.).
Since 1969, California has required that all local governments (cities and counties) adequately plan to meet the housing needs of their community. Local governments meet this requirement by adopting housing elements, which in the ABAG area are updated every 8 years. The housing element is a "chapter” of a city’s General Plan, which is also required by State law. However, it is the only element of the General Plan subject to State requirements for content, and HCD makes a determination regarding whether it is consistent with state law. State funding programs for transportation, infrastructure, and housing often require or consider a local jurisdiction’s compliance with housing element law and whether HCD has approved the housing element. In addition, non-compliance with housing element requirements could potentially affect a local jurisdiction’s ability to impose local zoning and land use controls over housing development and receive certain types of State funding and grants.
For the current eight-year housing cycle (2023-2031), HCD has identified the nine-county Bay Area region’s housing need to be 441,176 units, with this number broken down into four income categories, from very low-income households (which includes extremely low) to market rate housing. This Regional Housing Needs Determination (RHND) is based on 143 of 2271
CITY OF SAN MATEO
population projections produced by the California Department of Finance (DOF) as well as adjustments that incorporate the region’s existing housing need in 2020 and 2021 and other factors. The City of San Mateo’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) for this housing cycle is 7,015 new housing units distributed across the four income groups as outlined in Table 1.

The Housing Element identifies how the City can accommodate its RHNA of 7,015 new units over the next eight years, and establishes goals, policies and programs to help address the City’s current and future housing needs. The draft City Council resolution to adopt the Revised Housing Element is included as Attachment 1. The findings included in the Resolution outline how the Revised Housing Element is compliant with State law, provides a plan for to accommodate 10,286 new housing units, and affirmatively furthers fair housing, and is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The CEQA Exemption Technical Memorandum, which provides information to support the finding that the Housing Element is exempt from further environmental review, is included in Attachment 2. The HCD letter finding that the Revised Housing Element will substantially comply with State Housing Element Law is included as Attachment 3.
DISCUSSION:
2023-2031 Housing Element
The City’s Housing Element is included as Attachment 4, and contains the following eight sections:
1. Introduction and Background - Includes the history of San Mateo, the legislative framework for housing, consistency and relationship with other General Plan Elements, and a discussion on water/sewer capacity.
2. Housing Needs and Sites Inventory - Describes the City’s housing needs summary, RHNA allocation, sites inventory methodology, an overview of the adequate sites list and focused discussions on various areas that will support increased housing production (i.e. Accessory Dwelling Units, City Properties and Projects, the General Plan Update and Missing Middle Housing). A capacity of up to 10,286 housing units could be accommodated on the properties listed in the Sites Inventory under the City’s existing land use and zoning designations.
3. Other Required Housing Element Components - Provides an overview of the City’s governmental and nongovernmental constraints to meet its housing goals, summarizes existing and potential housing resources, and describes the climate change context and energy conservation requirements for new housing developments.
4. Public Participation - Summarizes the City’s efforts to engage with the community, including under-represented groups, key accomplishments of the outreach efforts over the past two years, critical take-aways from the community input, and how this input was incorporated into the Housing Element’s goals, policies and programs.
5. Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) Assessment - Provides an overview of AFFH requirements, a history of segregation in the region, and an assessment of San Mateo’s AFFH issues with primary findings, contributing factors, and the AFFH action plan.
6. Housing Plan - Describes the policies, programs, implementing actions, and timelines associated with the City’s five goals for production and preservation of housing, protection of its residents, promotion of outreach and education, and affirmatively furthering fair housing.
7. Quantified Objectives - Includes an estimate of actual housing units that could be achieved via preservation and production, given available resources, as well as projected pipeline projects anticipated for completion over the eight-year housing cycle.
8. Review of Prior Housing Element - Highlights key accomplishments, challenges and opportunities from the previous housing cycle (2015-2022).
The Housing Element includes six technical appendices that provide detailed analysis and information that support the findings and conclusions in the main document. These technical appendices are included in Attachments 5 to 11. 144 of 2271
CITY OF SAN MATEO
Goals, Policies and Programs
Housing needs in the City are significant, especially for very low-, low-, and moderate-income households. These needs affect the entire community, but disproportionately impact underrepresented, special needs, and ethnically diverse populations. Therefore, the Housing Element specifically focuses on the need to affirmatively further access to housing and promote fair housing policies and programs. Over the past two years, Staff conducted extensive community outreach, including 19 public meetings, four surveys, and numerous pop-up events, to inform the approach for addressing these needs in the Housing Element.
Based on the City’s RHNA allocation, constraints analysis, AFFH issues, and input from the community, consultant team, and decisionmakers, the Housing Element articulates the following five goals to shape policies and programs:
Goal 1 – Production. Facilitate and support the production of new housing at all income levels, but especially affordable housing. Twenty policies with 52 implementing actions have been identified to support this goal. Goal 2 – Preservation. Preserve existing housing that is affordable to lower- and middle-income residents. Six policies with 13 implementing actions have been identified to support this goal. Goal 3 – Protection. Protect current residents to prevent displacement. Seven policies with 17 implementing actions have been identified to support this goal.
Goal 4 – Promotion. Promote social resilience through public education and community outreach to make information more available and accessible. Five policies with 12 implementing actions have been identified to support this goal.
Goal 5 – Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing. Address the issues of fair housing, equity and access while reinforcing the objective that affirmatively furthering fair housing is both a stand-alone priority and decisively inseparable from achieving the Housing Element’s other goals. Fifteen policies with 22 quantified objectives have been identified to support this goal.
To support attainment of the five goals, each policy identifies the lead department, funding source if known, target work plan or program measure(s), implementation action(s), and a timeline, to provide an adequate level of specificity and accountability. Many of the polices also include metrics with specific targets or quantified objectives.
Sites Inventory and RHNA Strategy
The purpose of the adequate sites list (Sites Inventory) is to evaluate whether there are sufficient sites with appropriate zoning capacity (density) to meet the City’s RHNA goal. The Sites Inventory analysis was established based on a methodology consistent with state law and accepted by HCD that identifies sites likely to redevelop during the planning period. The methodology included a review of factors required by statute, including the extent to which existing uses may be an impediment to additional residential development, the City’s past experience with converting existing uses to higher density residential development, market demand for the existing uses and for residences, leases (where information was available), development trends in the City over the past five years, regulatory incentives (especially the use of state density bonus law), and expressed interest or applications from developers and letters from property owners. However, the Housing Element does not dictate where residential development will actually occur or what owners must do with their property.
In determining whether sites were likely to redevelop in the planning period and whether existing uses would constitute impediment to redevelopment, the City used a conservative methodology to estimate the development potential of each property included on the Sites Inventory. The methodology considered sites individually and determined whether they were likely to redevelop in the planning period based on ten specific factors, as described in Appendix C: owner or developer interest; developer ownership; previous proposals for development; vacant sites; sites containing limited improvements, such as parking lots; and sites meeting three of the following five factors: uses similar to those redeveloped in the past; structure age; single-story buildings; improvement to land value; and lot coverage. Other factors considered on a site-by-site basis included floor area ratio, location and context, local knowledge, and environmental and infrastructure constraints. The City’s conservative assumptions for unit-type distributions for most sites between 0.5 and 10 acres assumed an income distribution that is aligned with the City’s RHNA distribution and much lower than the 100% lower income allocation that is allowed by State law. The Sites Inventory in Appendix C of the Housing Element was updated to 145 of 2271
CITY OF SAN MATEO
create site specific data sheets for some of the larger sites to adequately demonstrate their suitability for housing development and to provide additional information and analysis to support inclusion on the Sites Inventory. Based on this analysis, the City has capacity for potential development of up to 10,286 housing units, or 146% of the City’s RHNA. This development capacity exists within the City's current zoned densities and does not require any rezoning to achieve. Table 2, on the following page, provides a summary breakdown of the properties included on the Sites Inventory by income category and opportunity area.

Most of the properties listed on the Sites Inventory are located within one of the ten General Plan Study Areas in the City’s recently adopted General Plan 2040. However, the Housing Element does not rely on the adopted 2040 General Plan densities to meet the RHNA requirements. The land use map in the 2040 General Plan increases land use densities within the Study Areas from 35-50 units per acre to 50-130 units per acre and adds capacity for over 19,700 new housing units, which will add significant capacity to the City’s RHNA buffer. However, because the City’s voter-approved growth limits (Measure Y) cap density at 50 units per acre, this increased capacity in the General Plan cannot be achieved until the measure is amended by the voters or sunsets in 2030. If the amendment is approved by the voters, capacity for up to 19,764 additional housing units by 2040 would be created.
Some comment letters have suggested that pipeline projects should not be counted at their proposed density because the City has a history of reducing densities and/or denying projects. However, based on a review of all of the pipeline projects, a majority (9 of 17) actually increased the number of housing units from initial submittal to project approval. Only one project (Peninsula Heights) had a decrease in number of units from initial submittal to approval (191 to 190 units). Staff updated Table 1 in Appendix C (Housing Resources) to show this information, as well as include additional data about the level of environmental review and approval discretion for each pipeline project. Overall, this information further supports the City’s position that densities in the pipeline projects from 2019 – 2023 are a reasonable and defensible basis for the Sites Inventory density assumptions.
Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing
Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing, or AFFH, means taking meaningful actions, in addition to combating discrimination, that overcome patterns of segregation and fosters inclusive communities free from barriers that restrict access to opportunity based on protected characteristics. California law, as established by AB 686 (2018), requires all public agencies to “administer programs and activities relating to housing and community development in a manner that affirmatively 146 of 2271
CITY OF SAN MATEO
furthers fair housing, and take no action inconsistent with this obligation.” The law also requires housing elements to include an analysis of fair housing outreach and capacity, integration and segregation, access to opportunity, disparate housing needs, and current fair housing practices.
In collaboration with 21 Elements (a county-wide planning collaborative), Root Policy Research prepared a Fair Housing Assessment for the City, which the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law peer reviewed. The Fair Housing Assessment describes fair housing enforcement and outreach capacity, integration and segregation, access to opportunity, and disparate housing needs as contributing factors that needed to be addressed in the City’s fair housing action plan. In response to this analysis, as well as community input, an Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Action Plan, which details how the City proposes to respond to the factors contributing to the fair housing challenges identified in this analysis, was developed. The Action Plan is included in Appendix D of the Housing Element (Attachment 8) and the policies and programs to implement the Action Plan are included in the Housing Plan under Goal 5.
The Housing Element includes an extensive narrative on a variety of topics, including information on the history of the City’s development; the prioritization of contributing factors; detail on fair housing legal cases and inquiries; data on changes in racial composition in the City; enhanced discussion of special needs groups; and greater analysis of Racially/Ethnically Concentrated Area of Poverty (R/ECAPs) and Racially Concentrated Areas of Affluence (RCAAs).
Public Outreach Summary
To support the preparation of the Draft Housing Element in 2021 and 2022, a robust and inclusive community outreach and engagement process was conducted over 18 months (June 2021 through December 2022). During this time, the City conducted 19 public and community meetings and workshops, five intercept/pop-up events, four surveys, and conducted additional community engagement through partnership with 21 Elements. This is in addition to the many General Plan Update related public outreach activities during this period and into 2023, which included significant discussions around housing related topics. The outreach efforts included an emphasis on connecting with community members for whom English was not spoken at home, renters, those under 45 years of age, low-income and very low-income households, people with disabilities, seniors, single female heads of household, people experiencing homelessness, and those from under-represented neighborhoods.
Themes that were incorporated into the Housing Plan included production of more missing middle housing, more outreach and education to tenants and landlords, streamlining and simplifying development review and permitting processes, establishing programs to address fair housing and equity, and ensuring that new housing is sustainable and addresses climate change. All public comments and input received as part of the Housing Element outreach and engagement activities are included in Appendix F - Public Participation (Attachment 10). Additional public comments that have been received during the most recent public review period, and since the beginning of 2023 are included in Appendix G - Public Review Comments (Attachment 11).
For organizations that raised specific issues/concerns about the Housing Element, staff prepared response letters to provide clarifications and correct the record. These response letters are included as a subsection within Appendix F (Attachment 10).
HCD Reviews and Housing Element Revisions
Preparation of the City’s Housing Element initially started in 2020, with the community engagement process starting in the summer of 2021. The first Draft Housing Element was published at the beginning of April, 2022, with the 30-day Public Comment Period between April 6, 2022 and May 6, 2022. The Draft was reviewed by the Planning Commission at public meetings on April 26, 2022 and May 3, 2022, with City Council review and direction provided at a public meeting on May 23, 2022. Following revisions in response to Council direction, the Draft Housing Element was submitted to HCD on July 1, 2022, for its first review (90-day review period). HCD completed its review and provided a first review letter with their feedback and comments on September 28, 2022.
On November 7, 2022, the City Council held a study session to review and discuss HCD’s comments and provide staff with direction. The Council directed staff to take the necessary steps to strengthen the language and policies in the Housing 147 of 2271
CITY OF SAN MATEO
Element to address HCD’s comments. On December 30, 2022, the Draft Housing Element (Version 2) was published for public review. Based on the statutory requirement to have an adopted housing element by January 31, 2023, Housing Element Version 2 was reviewed by the Planning Commission at a public hearing on January 12, 2023, where the Commission did not recommend adoption. On January 24, 2023, the City Council held a public hearing to consider Housing Element Version 2 and the Planning Commission’s recommendation, and voted unanimously to adopt the Housing Element. The Adopted Housing Element was submitted to HCD on January 27, 2023. HCD completed their review of the Adopted Housing Element and provided written comments to the City on March 27, 2023, stating that the adopted Housing Element addressed many statutory requirements described in HCD’s first review letter, but that additional revisions were necessary to fully comply with State Housing Element Law.
On April 17, 2023, and June 5, 2023, the City Council held study sessions to review HCD’s second comment letter, receive public input, and provide staff with direction on how to update the Housing Element. The Housing Element Version 3 was published for public review on July 26, 2023, and submitted to HCD on August 4, 2023. On August 30, 2023, a supplemental version of the third submittal was submitted to HCD to address some public comment letters and correct some data in the Sites Inventory. During the month of September, staff engaged with HCD and received preliminary comments that identified additional technical items that needed to be addressed and clarified. On September 20, 2023, Housing Element Version 3 submittal was rescinded to address the technical issues raised by HCD. During the month of October, staff continued discussions with HCD and updated the Housing Element to address HCD comments. On November 8, 2023, a revised Housing Element (Version 4) was published for public review, with Housing Element Version 4 submitted to HCD on November 22, 2023. In early January 2024, HCD met with staff and shared that there were five remaining technical issues that needed to be clarified. On January 17, 2024, the technical clarifications to Housing Element Version 4 were submitted to HCD, and on January 19, 2024, HCD provided a letter to the City finding that the draft Housing Element is in substantial compliance with State law. Once the Housing Element is locally adopted, it can be submitted to the State for formal approval.
Since January of 2023, various changes and revisions were made to the Housing Element (Revised Housing Element) in response to HCD comments and based on City Council direction. Key changes that have been incorporated since the Housing Element was originally adopted include:
1. Revised sites inventory methodology to implement a uniform approach for all sites based on size, zoning designation, and feasibility of redevelopment based on ten separate factors individually assigned to each site.
2. Updated Sites Inventory to reflect the current status/scope of pipeline projects, added/removed opportunity sites as new information became available, and removal of sites with lower potential for redevelopment during this housing cycle.
3. Updated AFFH narrative with additional background data and support information to justify findings.
4. Strengthened programs and implementation measures to address all identified constraints, add clear back-up plans and commitments for certain programs, including those related to Measure Y, ADUs, parking requirements and development streamlining, and the inclusion of metrics and target geographic areas for AFFH programs.
5. Technical corrections and revisions in response to comments received during the review periods.
To further analyze non-vacant site selection, leases as a barrier to redevelopment, and other assumptions applied in the Housing Element, the City hired Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) to conduct a peer-review of the housing sites redevelopment assumptions and methodology used for the Sites Inventory. The EPS memorandum with summary findings is included as Attachment 12. Overall, EPS concluded that the methodology used for site selection is reflective of observed trends in redevelopment and site-specific conditions, and consistent with state law. While existing uses and leases can be constraints to redevelopment feasibility, market trends indicate that the housing opportunity sites in the Sites Inventory are reasonable to include. Findings that support the methodology and Sites Inventory composition include:
Since 2014, 88% of large multi-family projects built in San Mateo County were on land with previous commercial or office uses.
Shopping center conversions and phased residential development on commercial surface parking lots are increasingly common real estate industry trends; and tenants are increasingly open to negotiating with developers for phased projects that improve long-term benefits for a retail property. 148 of 2271
CITY OF SAN MATEO
While some of the sites include longer-term leases, most commercial leases in San Mateo are expected to expire within the Housing Element cycle, which will relieve a constraint on redevelopment.
Planning Commission Recommendation
Pursuant to State law and the City’s Zoning Code, the Planning Commission is required to review and provide a recommendation to the City Council on all General Plan amendments. On April 23, 2024, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the Revised Housing Element. During public comments, five members of the public provided input, which included concerns that the tenant protection and anti-displacement policies were not strong enough, that the Housing Element should include more affordable housing and higher densities in the highest resource areas of the City, that too many housing sites were near highways and exposed to poor air quality, and that the City should adopt an ordinance to allow for the sale of accessory dwelling units (ADUs). Following public comments, clarifying questions and deliberation, the Commission voted 4-1 to recommend adoption of the Revised Housing Element to the City Council.
The approving majority of the Commission noted that significant challenges still remain for the City to fully realize its RHNA production targets and to meet its AFFH obligations, but that the Revised Housing Element reflected significant improvements and included more robust policies and programs, which resulted in HCD’s finding of substantial conformance with state law. The dissenting commissioner expressed ongoing concerns with the Sites Inventory methodology, the feasibility of many of the opportunity sites redeveloping during this housing cycle, and the City’s ability to fully meet its AFFH requirements.
Findings for Adoption
Given HCD’s finding of substantial compliance and the Planning Commission’s favorable recommendation, staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Revised 2023-2031 Housing Element, based on the following key findings, and as expanded upon in the Draft Resolution in Attachment 1.
1. The Revised 2023-2031 Housing Element is internally consistent with the City’s recently adopted General Plan 2040.
2. State Law (Govt. 65580-65589.11) – To be in substantial compliance with state law, a housing element must contain all of the elements mandated by State housing element law . Based on HCD’s January 19, 2024 letter (Attachment 3) that found the Housing Element to be in substantial compliance, and further evidenced in the Compliance with Statutory Provisions table in Exhibit A of Attachment 1, the Revised 2023-2031 Housing Element adequately addresses and is consistent with each requirement and provision mandated by State law.
3. Based on substantial evidence and the methodology used to determine additional development potential, existing uses on non-vacant sites identified in the Housing Element are likely to be discontinued during the Housing Element planning period.
4. The City followed all required noticing and review procedures and timelines (Govt. 65580-65589.11) for various versions of the draft and final 2023-2031 Housing Element.
If the City Council takes action to adopt the Revised 2023-2031 Housing Element, it will be transmitted to HCD for formal certification following the action.
In addition, pursuant to Section 65583.2(c), and Program H 1.10 in the Housing Element, staff is working on a “by-right” ordinance that would allow ministerial approval (without Planning Application and CEQA review) for housing development projects on a site that was listed as a housing opportunity site in one of the City’s prior housing elements. A housing development project utilizing this ordinance must also provide at least 20% of its units as affordable for lower income households and have a density of at least 30 units per acre. There are approximately 40 such sites citywide that would be eligible for “by-right” approval. The ordinance will be reviewed by the Planning Commission on May 28 and is anticipated to be considered for adoption by the City Council in July. This ordinance is statutorily required and must be adopted before HCD can approve the Housing Element.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Although there are no direct budgetary impacts to taking this action, the preparation of the 2023-2031 Housing Element 149 of 2271
CITY OF SAN MATEO
document has involved a significant amount of City staff time and the use of multiple consultants. The preparation of the Housing Element is primarily funded by the City’s Advanced Planning Fund (Fund 225), which is funded by a fee collected with each building permit, with some State grant funds also being used for the outreach component. To implement the Housing Element (52 policies with over 100 programs), a funding source is identified with each policy, and the Community Development Department will identify and allocate appropriate staff and budgetary resources to complete each effort in the coming years.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
The Revised Housing Element is not subject to further review under CEQA because it can be seen with certainty that it will not cause a physical change in the environment, as there are no rezonings proposed. The proposed adoption of the 2023- 2031 Housing Element is considered exempt under the “common sense” exemption under state CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because the project involves policies, programs, and actions to meet the City’s RHNA and AFFH goals that would not have any potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, and identifies programs and actions to remove constraints and promote affordable housing development. Because the City does not have to rezone any sites or make any physical improvements to adopt the Revised Housing Element, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the approval of a General Plan Amendment to update the Housing Element would have a significant effect on the environment. Thus, the General Plan amendment to update the Housing Element for the Sixth Cycle (2023-2031) is exempt from CEQA under the common-sense exemption. The CEQA Determination with information to support this finding is included as Attachment 2.
NOTICE PROVIDED:
All meeting noticing requirements were met. A public hearing notice for consideration of the City’s Revised 2023-2031 Housing Element was published in the San Mateo Daily Journal on May 9, 2024. Notice of Housing Element availability was displayed on the home page of the City’s website, posted to the City’s Housing Element website and a physical copy was made available at City Hall and the Main Library. Notice of updated Housing Element publication was also included in the City’s E-Newsletter and sent out to various email distribution lists, including the Housing Policy, Housing Element and General Plan Update email distribution lists.
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Appendix F (Attachment 10) of the Revised Housing Element includes community feedback, communications and documentation that supports the Housing Element preparation. All public comments submitted since the beginning of 2023 are included in Appendix G (Attachment 11). Since the publication of the Revised Housing Element on April 16, 2024, the City has received a total of six comment letters. The comments in these letters include concerns about the feasibility of the housing opportunity sites redeveloping with housing by 2031, and argue that that the Housing Element does not fully address AFFH requirements and that more affordable housing opportunities should be created in the High and Highest Resource areas of the City. The letters further contend that more affordable housing needs to be required with new development, that existing leases pose a significant constraint on new housing that has not been fully evaluated/considered, that the Constraints Analysis does not fully meet statutory requirements, and that the City should allow ADUs to be individually owned/sold pursuant to AB 1033. These comments are responded to in this staff report and in Attachment 10.
Public comments submitted after the publication of this agenda packet are posted to this item on the City’s Public Meeting Portal as “Post Packet Public Comments.”

WHEREAS, the legislature has found that, “California has a housing supply and affordability crisis of historic proportions. The consequences of failing to effectively and aggressively confront this crisis are hurting millions of Californians, robbing future generations of the chance to call California home, stifling economic opportunities for workers and businesses, worsening poverty and homelessness, and undermining the state’s environmental and climate objectives.” (Govt. §65589.5); and WHEREAS, the legislature has further found that, “Among the consequences of those actions are discrimination against low-income and minority households, lack of housing to support employment growth, imbalance in jobs and housing, reduced mobility, urban sprawl, excessive commuting, and air quality deterioration.” (Govt. §65589.5); and
WHEREAS, the legislature adopted the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (SB 330) which states, “In 2018, California ranked 49th out of the 50 states in housing units per capita… California needs an estimated 180,000 additional homes annually to keep up with population growth, and the Governor has called for 3.5 million new homes to be built over 7 years;” and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MATEO, CALIFORNIA, HEREBY finds and determines based on substantial evidence in the record, that:
1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are incorporated by reference into this action.
2. The Revised Housing Element was reviewed for conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act and is found to be exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) as it can be seen with certainty that the proposed adoption of the Housing Element (which proposes no rezonings or intensification of land use) would not have a significant effect on the environment.
3. In accordance with Government Code Section 65300.5, the Revised Housing Element is internally consistent with the Strive San Mateo General Plan 2040; and as required by State law and San Mateo Municipal Code Section 27.06.040(b), the Planning Commission has reviewed and provided a written recommendation to the City Council on this General Plan Amendment.
4. The Revised Housing Element substantially complies with Housing Element Law, as provided in Government Code 65580 et seq., and contains all provisions required by State Housing Element Law, as shown in Exhibit A to this Resolution, incorporated herein by this reference.
5. Based on substantial evidence in the record, the existing uses on the non-vacant sites identified in the Sites Inventory to accommodate the City’s RHNA are likely to be discontinued during the planning period or do not need to be discontinued to accommodate the assigned housing units, and therefore do not constitute an impediment to planned residential development on the site during the planning period. Government Code Section 65583.2(g)(2) requires that any jurisdiction relying on non-vacant sites to meet more than 50 percent of the RHNA for lower-income households must make findings based on substantial evidence that the existing use on the non-vacant site is not an impediment to residential development during the planning period. In the City of San Mateo, 97.5 percent of the RHNA for lower-income unit capacity is on non-vacant sites (196 of 205 sites are nonvacant). The City has provided such substantial evidence in Appendix C of the Revised Housing Element that the existing uses will be discontinued or will not be an impediment to residential development during the planning period based on the physical characteristics, existing uses, redevelopment potential (including improvement to land value ratio, floor area ratio, age of 154 of 2271
4 structures, existing height, lot coverage and known developer/owner interest), location and context, local knowledge, and environmental and infrastructure constraints. Specifically, Table 2 in Appendix C of the Housing Element constitutes a site-specific analysis, and demonstrates that six of the largest non-vacant sites in the Sites Inventory have owners that have expressed interest in residential or mixed-use development during this planning period; with the remaining sites having owner/developer interest, the ability to accommodate new housing without displacing existing uses (i.e. large parking lots or vacant areas, under-utilized buildings or long-standing vacancies), similar characteristics as approved or proposed projects in the City, existing uses that could discontinue during this planning period, and/or have conceptual proposals, development applications or planning approvals.
The City has followed HCD guidance when performing its section 65583.2(g)(2) analysis. The site selection criteria used by the City include property owner or developer interest in redevelopment, that the site is developer owned, that the site has a previous proposal for redevelopment, sites with surface parking lot use only or similar unimproved condition, that the existing use similar to commonly redeveloped sites (retail/shopping center, banks, office, gas station, etc.), that any structures are more than 30 years old (or 20 years if commercial use), that current structures are one-story only, that the property has an improvement to land value ratio of <1.0 (or <2.5 if commercial use), and that a property has 50% or less lot coverage.
In finding that existing uses for the designated non-vacant sites are likely to be discontinued during the planning period, and that such existing uses do not constitute an impediment to residential development, the City has relied upon facts, assumptions that are derived from those facts, and expert opinion. The City bases its findings on documented evidence that the redevelopment of commercial sites for housing is a growing national trend that is clearly reflected in San Mateo and other nearby cities in the region. Further, strong housing demand and high land values for residential development, together with weakening demand for commercial uses, have made conversion to residential use within the planning period likely for multiple sites that currently have commercial uses. Most commercial leases for designated non-vacant sites are due to expire within the planning period.
The City further bases its findings upon substantial evidence in the form of expressions of owner interest in residential development, Costar data regarding commercial lease terms within the City demonstrating that the leases for existing uses expire within the planning period and that the building on non-vacant sites are likely to be removed or is in poor condition. Further, 83 per cent of units that are currently in the City’s active development pipeline are located on sites with some commercial uses.
6. The City Council hereby adopts the Revised 2023-2031 Housing Element as shown in Attachments 4 through 11 to the staff report dated May 20, 2024, which has been found to be in substantial compliance with all applicable state statutes and HCD requirements. The previously adopted 2023- 2031 Housing Element is repealed and replaced in its entirety.
7. This resolution shall become effective upon adoption by the City Council.
8. The City Manager or their designee is hereby directed to file all necessary materials with HCD for HCD to find that the Revised Housing Element is in conformance with State Housing Element Law and is further directed and authorized to make all non-substantive changes to the Housing Element 155 of 2271
5 to make it internally consistent or to address any non-substantive changes or amendments requested by HCD to achieve certification.
9. The Community Development Director or their designee is hereby directed to distribute copies of the Revised Housing Element in the manner provided in Government Code Sections 65357 and 65589.7.
