Client agrees that Client’s access to Services hereunder is neither contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features nor dependent on any oral/written public comments made by LCPtracker regarding future functionality/features. LCPtracker hereby grants to Client for the applicable Subscription Term a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable (except in compliance with Section 2.3) and revocable license to use the relevant Documentation and any other manuals, instructions, or other materials that LCPtracker makes available to Client which describe the features/requirements of the Services solely for Client’s internal business purposes in connection with its permitted use of the Services.
2.2. Limitations. Client will not (and will not permit any third party or User to): (i) modify (except as expressly permitted under the applicable Product Schedule), port, translate, localize or create derivative works based on the Services, (ii) use, copy, sell, rent, lease, market, distribute or sublicense the Services except as otherwise specifically permitted hereunder; (iii) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Services; (iv) access the Services in order to build or contribute to a competitive product or service, (v) access the Services in any manner that violates any intellectual property right of a third party, (vi) remove, or allow to be removed, any LCPtracker proprietary rights notice from any LCPtracker product, (vii) disclose the results of performance tests run on the Services to any third party without LCPtracker’s prior written consent, (viii) make the Services available to anyone other than Users, (ix) use the Services to store or transmit infringing, libelous, or otherwise unlawful or tortious material, or to store or transmit material in violation of third-party privacy rights, (x) use the Services to store or transmit Malicious Code, (xii) interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Services or third-party data contained therein, or (xiii) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services or their related systems or networks. This Agreement grants no additional express or implied license, right or interest in any copyright, patent, trade secret, trademark, invention or other intellectual property right of LCPtracker that is not expressly granted herein. Client shall; (a) be responsible for the administration of User identifications and passwords and Users' compliance with this Agreement and shall require Users to acknowledge their understanding of and compliance with the restrictions and responsibilities related to the use of the Services, including, without limitation, protecting their User identification and passwords and compliance with all Applicable Laws; (b) use their best efforts to prevent unauthorized access to or use of the Services, and notify LCPtracker promptly of any unauthorized access or use, and (c) use the Services only in accordance with the Documentation and Applicable Laws. If Client becomes aware of any actual or threatened activity prohibited by this Section, Client shall, and shall cause its Users to, immediately: (A) take all reasonable and lawful measures within their respective control that are necessary to stop the activity or threatened activity and to mitigate its effects (including, where applicable, by discontinuing and preventing any unauthorized access to the Services); and (B) notify LCPtracker immediately in writing of any such actual or threatened activity.
2.3. Users. Client may permit any number of Users (unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Product Schedule) to use the Services; (i) in accordance with the terms of the applicable Product Schedule and the Documentation, and (ii) through a unique and reasonably secure username and password. If a two-factor authentication login system is provided, it is required to be used. Client is responsible to ensure that its Users comply with all the same obligations regarding use of the Services that it is bound by hereunder. Client is solely responsible for the activity that occurs on all associated User accounts. Users are required to keep their user account, username, and password secure. Client must notify LCPtracker immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of any User’s account. LCPtracker shall not be responsible for any losses arising out of the loss or theft of user information transmitted from or stored on a computer or device or from unauthorized or fraudulent transactions.
2.4. Use of Services Client is solely responsible for its and its Users’ compliance with all Applicable Law in the use of the Services and LCPtracker shall have no liability for Client’s or its Users’ input of data or use of the Services.
Client agrees that Client (a) will confirm the accuracy of any bulk upload/API/data migration/auto-geo assignment integration into the LCPtracker system, and (b) further understands that bulk uploads/API/data migration/auto-geo assignments are effective only as of the date of the upload(s)/migration(s). It is Client’s responsibility to provide updated data to LCPtracker. Client accepts that auto-geo assignments are automatically corrected by Microsoft based upon the co-ordinates in the KML file supplied by Client to LCPtracker, and further the accuracy of data subject location has some inaccuracy due to combining pure mapping co-ordinates (or deficiencies within those coordinates) with residential locations. Client agrees to not directly send any PII by email or otherwise (to LCPtracker outside of the LCPtracker SaaS Services product offering) without prior written approval from the LCPtracker Director of Client Services.
2.5 Changes. LCPtracker reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to make any changes to the Services that it
Ver LCP.V3.22
deems necessary or useful to: (a) maintain or enhance: (i) the quality or delivery of LCPtracker's services to its customers; (ii) the competitive strength of or market for LCPtracker's services; or (iii) the Services' cost efficiency or performance; or (b) to comply with Applicable Law.

It is the Client and the Users responsibility to maintain their own back-ups of their original data for the required statutory periods.
2.7. Client Control and Responsibility. Client has and will retain sole responsibility for: (a) all Client Data, including its content and use; (b) all information, instructions, and materials provided by or on behalf of Client or any User in connection with the Services; (c) Client's information technology infrastructure, including computers, software, databases, electronic systems (including database management systems), and networks, whether operated directly by Client or through the use of third-party services ("Client Systems"); (d) the security and use of Client's and its Users' access credentials; and (e) with the exception of those instances referenced in Section 2.9 below, all access to and use of the Services directly or indirectly by or through the Client Systems or its or its Users’ access credentials, with or without Client’s knowledge or consent, including all results obtained from, and all conclusions, decisions, and actions based on, such access or use.
2.8. Data Privacy. The Parties agree that, between the Parties, Client shall serve as the business or controller and LCPtracker shall serve as the service provider or processor, as those terms are defined under Applicable Law.
LCPtracker, as a service provider on behalf of Client, shall not access, use, process or retain Client Data containing PII except as necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the applicable Product Schedule except in strict accordance with the written instructions of Client, or as otherwise required for LCPtracker to meet its own legal obligations under Applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, LCPtracker may use, disseminate, and otherwise process deidentified or aggregated Client Data to the full extent allowed under Applicable Law and pursuant to its own discretion subject to Section 2.10 below.

Accordingly, LCPtracker shall share information about the nature and consequences of the Breach that is reasonably requested by Client to enable Client to notify affected individuals, government agencies and/or credit bureaus. Per Section 2.7 above, Client has sole control over the content of Client Data that it enters into the LCPtracker system and is solely responsible for determining whether to notify impacted individuals and the applicable regulatory bodies or enforcement commissions and for providing such notice. Client shall ensure that its contacts designated herein are current and ready to receive any breach notification from LCPtracker.
2.10 Use of Names/Publicity. Except as expressly agreed otherwise by the Parties in writing, except as required by law, or except as required to enable LCPtracker to provide the Services herein, LCPtracker shall not use Client’s or its Affiliates’ name, logo, service marks, domain names, symbols or any other name or mark for any advertising or marketing purposes without Client’s prior written consent. Except as expressly agreed otherwise by the Parties, LCPtracker may not use Client as a reference or this Agreement as an endorsement of LCPtracker’s work without Client’s written consent.

All undisputed amounts payable to LCPtracker under this Agreement shall be paid by Client to LCPtracker in full when due without any setoff, deduction, or withholding for any reason.
3.2. Invoicing and Payment. If required by Client, Client may provide LCPtracker with a valid purchase order or alternative document reasonably acceptable to LCPtracker, provided that no terms contained on Client’s purchase order or alternative document will serve to modify the terms of this Agreement or the applicable Product Schedule.
Unless otherwise stated in the Product Schedule, payment of all undisputed amounts is due by check to the address listed above for LCPtracker net 30 days from the date of Client’s receipt of the applicable invoice.
3.3. Overdue Payments. If any Service Fees are not received from Client by the applicable due date, then at the sole discretion of LCPtracker (a) such charges may accrue late interest at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is higher, from the date such payment was due until the date paid, and/or (b) LCPtracker may without limiting its other rights and remedies, suspend Client’s
Ver LCP.V3.22
access to the Services until payment is made in full. LCPtracker will give Client at least thirty (30) business days' prior written notice that Client account is overdue, in accordance with Section 11.1 (Notices), before suspending the Services to Client.

3.5. Taxes. Unless otherwise stated, Service Fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including but not limited to value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any local, state, provincial, federal or foreign jurisdiction (collectively, "Taxes"). Client is responsible for paying all Taxes, if any, associated with Client purchases hereunder, other than those based on LCPtracker’s income. If LCPtracker has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Client is responsible under this paragraph, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by Client, unless Client provides LCPtracker with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.
3.6. Auditing Rights and Required Records. Client agrees to maintain complete and accurate records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles during the Term and for a period of two years after the termination or expiration of this Agreement with respect to matters necessary for accurately determining amounts due hereunder in respect of the size of projects entered into the Services. LCPtracker may, at its own expense, on reasonable prior notice, periodically (during, or after the Term for a period of two (2) years) inspect Client's records with respect to the size of construction projects covered by this Agreement, provided that if such inspection reveals that Client has underpaid LCPtracker with respect to any amounts due hereunder, Client shall promptly pay the amounts necessary to rectify such underpayment, together with interest in accordance with this Agreement. Client shall pay for the reasonable costs of the audit if the audit determines that Client's underpayment exceeds 10% of sums due for any quarter.
4. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
4.1. Reservation of Rights. The Services are not sold to Client or any third party. LCPtracker reserves all rights, title, and interest in and to Services and its underlying software covered by this Agreement, including but not limited to all related intellectual property rights.

For Bulk Project Pricing of $2 billion and above, Client can choose to increase Client’s level of Construction Capacity in $500 million increments. The fee for this is $8,300 per $500 million in additional Construction Capacity. The associated Daily Reporter module fee is $4,200, and the Onsite module fee is $830 per each additional $500 million. **“Construction Capacity” means the value of construction calculated by adding the correct total (not just labor costs) updated construction bid award value of all active (“Open/Active”) projects in the Client’s account (which sum also includes all accounts in their Affiliate’s’ accounts) in the Licensed Software Services. The value of projects marked as “Open/Active” within the database is determined by the accurate total of project Budget amounts including change orders. This calculation is done monthly by LCPtracker. If a project is closed and no longer marked “Active”, the project will no longer be counted in that month's open active projects.
C. CONSTRUCTION CAPACITY
(a) “Construction Capacity” means the sum total of all active (“Open/Active”) projects in the Client’s account (which sum also includes all accounts under this Product Schedule in their Affiliates’ accounts) in the Services. The value of projects marked as “Open/Active” within the LCPtracker Professional database is determined by the accurate total of project “Budget” amounts.
(b) The original winning bid amount for Client’s construction project must be provided by Client to LCPtracker so it may be entered accurately in the relevant project “Budget” field in the LCPtracker Professional services platform. The winning bid amount must be updated by Client if change orders exceed 25% of the original total project winning bid amount for the relevant project (through written requests to LCPtracker Support Department – [email protected]). (c) Failure by Client or their Affiliates to accurately update LCPtracker Support Department of changes to the “Budget” field will be a material breach under the Agreement and will not remove the Client’s obligation to pay the amounts due for the Services based on an accurate “Budget” field. If a project is completed and closed (responsibility of Client to perform to avoid being billed for it), the project will no longer be counted in that month's open active projects for billing. (d) Periodically LCPtracker performs audits of project “Budget” fields to ensure accuracy and may reach out to Client to confirm the project “Budget” amounts accuracy. Failure by Client to timely respond to a request for information in relation to any such audit will allow LCPtracker to adjudicate that labor wages will account for 25% of the supplied project “Budget” amount and amend the relevant “Budget” amount accordingly in the Services for billing purposes. Client will be free to dispute this value with LCPtracker by providing accurate information in relation to Construction Capacity at any time.
D. PAYMENT TERMS
(a) Service Fees are due under this Product Schedule are due on the date hereof or on the yearly anniversary hereof unless provided otherwise.
(b) Service Fees for access to the Services detailed above will change if one of the following events occurs: (i) If the sum of all “Budget” amounts for projects entered in LCPtracker during the then current year of the Subscription Term exceed the Construction Capacity level purchased (Client will be invoiced for an amount equal to the difference between the Construction Capacity level provided for that year of the Subscription Term and the cost level for which the current correct Construction Capacity applies, prorated for the number of months remaining in the then current year of the Subscription Term. This invoice shall be due and payable upon receipt. The new rate will then be applicable to the immediately following year of the Subscription Term), (ii) The Construction Capacity increases beyond the previously purchased level on the annual anniversary of this Product Schedule, or (iii) A notice is given to Client pursuant to Section D(d) below. (c) Fees for optional additional professional services to be included into the Services shall be invoiced and due upon delivery of the applicable service at the then current pricing of LCPtracker, unless any such service exceeds thirty (30) days, then invoices will be rendered at the end of each month and payable upon receipt thereof by Client by email.
Ver LCP.V3.22
(d) The prices and terms of this Product Schedule are subject to change at the sole discretion of LCPtracker. A thirty (30) day notice will be provided to Client of such changes by an email to the Client contact and will only become effective to Client on said renewal date.
(e) If Client elects to pay by credit card, the credit card payment fee of four percent (4%) imposed on LCPtracker shall be added to Client’s payment to be charged. Client is responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to LCPtracker and notifying LCPtracker of any changes to such information. (f) If Client has no active projects at the time of a yearly renewal and Client wishes to keep its account open (in such case the then current LCPtracker active database fee shall apply). (g) Sales tax will be added per your state law at final invoicing.

REPORT TO STADIUM AUTHORITY BOARD
SUBJECT
Report from Stadium Authority Regarding Stadium Manager’s Request to Execute Agreement with LCPtracker, Inc. for Labor Compliance Software Subscription Service
BOARD PILLAR
Ensure Compliance with Measure J and Manage Levi’s Stadium
BACKGROUND
On October 8, 2019, the Stadium Authority Board (Board) approved Ordinance No. 2005 amending Chapter 17.30 of the City Code (Stadium Authority Procurement Policy), which rescinded the delegation to the Executive Director to enter into agreements without prior Board approval. As result of Ordinance No. 2005, the Stadium Manager is also required to request Board approval before entering into agreements on behalf of the Stadium Authority. As of the effective date of the Ordinance (November 8, 2019), all Stadium Authority agreements for services, supplies, materials, and equipment require the approval of the Stadium Authority Board.
As the Stadium Manager, Forty Niners Stadium Management Company, LLC (ManCo), is responsible for maintaining “the Stadium in the Required Condition and operate the Stadium as a quality NFL and multi-purpose public sports, public assembly, exhibit and entertainment facility” as required by the Management Agreement between ManCo and the Stadium Authority.
The Stadium Manager is requesting approval to execute an agreement with LCPtracker, Inc. (LCPtracker) for a cloud-based labor compliance software subscription, for a one-year period beginning December 15, 2022 through December 14, 2023, in the amount of $13,090 and delegated authority to annually renew subscription services for an additional two years from December 15, 2023 through December 14, 2025. Since the renewal term extends beyond a single fiscal year, the term for subsequent fiscal years shall be conditioned upon approval of the Stadium Authority budget for the applicable fiscal year that includes the amounts due under the agreement as required under Chapter
17.30.100.
LCPtracker is software for certified payroll reporting, construction site compliance management, and workforce reporting, which are key elements of reporting to the Department of Industrial Relations for compliance with state worker wage laws (e.g., prevailing wage). The City has a current agreement with LCPtracker and these services have helped with management of prevailing wage agreements and tracking of contractors’ certified payroll. Due to the significant number of projects and services that require prevailing wage at Levi’s Stadium, the Stadium Authority supports the Stadium Manager’s entering into an agreement with LCPtracker for such services.

22-1398 Agenda Date: 12/6/2022
DISCUSSION
Stadium Authority staff reviewed the Stadium Manager’s Recommendation for Award memo (attached to corresponding report #22-1397) for consistency against the Stadium Authority Procurement Policy and Santa Clara City Code Chapter 2.105.140(a) (Competitive Requirements for Purchases - Agreements Under $15,000). Staff also reviewed this request against the Stadium Manager’s previous request to execute a LCPtracker agreement. The main issues that were identified in the prior request/agreement, such as a contingency amount that was in excess of the normal 10-15%, mathematical/typographical errors between the agreement/report, and an undefined term for the agreement, are not in this new submittal (e.g., no contingency requested, service costs are clear in the report and match the agreement, and the term is defined as one year in the agreement).
As such, staff recommends approval of the Stadium Manager’s request to execute an agreement with LCPtracker for a cloud-based labor compliance software subscription, for a one-year period beginning December 15, 2022 through December 14, 2023, in the amount of $13,090. In regard to the Stadium Manager’s request for delegated authority to annually renew subscription services for an additional two years, staff recommends that the authority be delegated to the Executive Director instead, subject to budget appropriations. Currently, the Executive Director has no delegated signature authority for agreements under the Stadium Authority Procurement Policy. Approving staff’s recommendation to provide the Executive Director with such authority accomplishes the expediency that the Stadium Manager seeks.
The Stadium Authority Counsel’s Office has reviewed the requested agreement for comparison to the Stadium Authority’s customary language. While there are differences in the language for major provisions, nothing in the proposed agreement changes the Stadium Authority’s rights under the Management Agreement and specifically with respect to any dispute that may arise from the Stadium Manager’s obligations under the Management Agreement.
In addition, per Paragraph 4(b) of the Settlement Agreement, the Stadium Authority reserves all rights to confirm and dispute charges by and payments to the Stadium Manager during a fiscal year-end reconciliation/true-up, including but not limited to changes based on improper allocation, calculation, lack of support, or failure to comply with the Parties’ contracts or California law. The Stadium Authority may raise related questions before the fiscal year-end reconciliation/true-up, which the Stadium Manager agrees to assess and respond to in good faith.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The actions being considered do not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(a) as it has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment or pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(4) in that it is a fiscal activity that does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potential significant impact on the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Stadium Authority Fiscal Year (FY) 2022/23 Budget contains Shared Stadium Manager Expenses (Shared Expenses) such as Security, Stadium Operations, Engineering, Guest Services, and Groundskeeping. Shared Expenses are split between the Stadium Authority and Forty Niners SC Stadium Company LLC (StadCo) per the Management Agreement.
City of Santa Clara Page 2 of 3 Printed on 12/2/2022

There are sufficient funds in the FY 2022/23 Stadium Operations line item to cover the agreement cost for this year ($13,090, of which the Stadium Authority is responsible for $6,545).
COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Stadium Authority Counsel and Treasurer’s Offices.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Public contact was made by posting the Council agenda on the City’s official-notice bulletin board outside City Hall Council Chambers. A complete agenda packet is available on the City’s website and in the City Clerk’s Office at least 72 hours prior to a Regular Meeting and 24 hours prior to a Special Meeting.

RECOMMENDATION
1. Approve the Stadium Manager’s request to execute an agreement with LCPtracker for a cloudbased labor compliance software subscription in the amount of $13,090 for a one-year period, from December 14, 2022 to December 15, 2023; and,
2. Authorize the Executive Director to approve the Stadium Manager’s execution of annual renewal for subscription services for an additional two years from December 15, 2023 through December 14, 2025 for the agreement with LCPtracker, subject to budget appropriations.

2. Award a purchase order to EyeP Solutions, Inc. to replace cameras in the seating bowl with AXIS cameras in the amount of $120,008. This project is included in the Stadium Authority FY 2022/23 CapEx Budget under the Bowl Camera Upgrade/Refurbishment line item which is budgeted for $141,750.
The Stadium Manager’s Recommendation for Award memo describes the requests and the procurement process in more detail.

Executive Director

Procurement Director
Forty Niners Stadium Management Company LLC
Subject: Recommendation for Award for Axis Cameras and Related Accessories for Levi’s Stadium
Recommendation
1. Recommend approval and award of a Purchase Order to EyeP Solutions, Inc., to provide AXIS cameras and related accessories as part of the parking lot camera upgrades, in the amount of $41,029.88.
2. Recommend approval and award of a Purchase Order to EyeP Solutions, Inc., to procure AXIS cameras as part of the bowl camera replacement, in the amount of $120,007.66.
Forty Niners Stadium Management Company (Stadium Manager) submitted two capital expenditure requests to the Santa Clara Stadium Authority (SCSA) and received approval from the SCSA Board as part of the FY 22/23 fiscal year as follows:
Parking Lot Camera Upgrade ($42,000)
This project was planned to replace the cameras in the Great America parking lots with technologically advanced multi-lens panoramic/360/multi-directional cameras. Sun baked cameras with fixed angles have created gaps in coverage. New camera technology would provide better overall coverage of the main parking lot. With video incident request coming from ingress/egress incidents, new technology would assist in these investigations. The upgrade also included installing additional cameras in Gold Lot 4/5 parking areas at the Stadium.
Bowl Camera Upgrade/Refurbishment ($141,750)
The project was planned to replace or refurbish several seating bowl cameras. The bowl cameras have become sun baked and provide poor/obscured coverage of bowl seating.
Maintenance has become an issue due to the cost and time required to erect scaffolding to reach camera boxes each time the cameras require maintenance. The project will evaluate the opportunity to re-engineer the camera housing by relocating housing closer to stadium infrastructure, if possible.
2 Stadium Manager currently has a combination of different brands such as Bosch, Sony, and Arecont cameras throughout the Stadium and parking lots. When the Stadium was being constructed, the different camera styles available for the various needs of the building were only available through a combination of the previously mentioned vendors.
Stadium Manager reviewed the current product offerings from the existing manufacturers and conducted market research to determine the technical specifications to meet the needs of the Stadium. While there have been technological advancements among many manufacturers, Axis Communications product specifications and lifecycle management policies with a five year warranty meet the needs of the Stadium Manager to upgrade the cameras. Axis Communications has also achieved recertification for ISO 27001 for its Information Security Management System (ISMS). The audit for compliance with ISO 27001 was completed by an accredited third-party certification body and includes an extended scope from the original certification of Axis ISMS in 2019. In addition to a large footprint in the public sector, Axis Communications also cater to the needs of stadiums and venues which can be accessed via the URL: https://www.axis.com/en-us/solutions/stadiums-and-venues. Axis Communications also has a strong sustainability business code https://www.axis.com/en-us/about-axis/sustainability.
Axis Communications products are used by the public sector and there are numerous cooperative agreements for public agencies to utilize to take advantage of economies of scale.
Utilizing the Federal General Services Agency (GSA) Schedule Contract Number 47QTCA18D00C7 as a cooperative agreement, the State of California has issued a CMAS schedule to allow California State agencies and political subdivisions to take advantage of the GSA Schedule.
Axis Communications GSA Schedule
https://www.gsaadvantage.gov/ref_text/47QTCA18D00C7/0XMD8N.3TCQ4F_47QTCA18D00C 7_TANDCS_1644.PDF The California CMAS Agreement Number to utilize this Axis Communication pricing is 3-21-04-1100. The term of this agreement is from April 21, 2021 through May 14, 2023.
Stadium Manager has several cooperative agreements for technology purchases. Stadium Manager reached out to EyeP Solutions (CA CMAS Provider) CDW-G, and B&H Foto to obtain quotes to evaluate pricing and availability. B&H Foto offered only online price inquiries as most products were backordered due to supply chain issues. The following quotes were received for both projects inclusive of shipping and all applicable sales tax from the other cooperatives:
1. EyeP Solutions: $161,037.54
2. CDW-G: $209,564.47
Therefore, approval is sought to issue the two Purchase Order to EyeP Solutions, Inc. as follows:
1. Purchase Order for Parking Lot Camera Upgrade in the amount of $41,029.88
2. Purchase Order for Bowl Camera Upgrade in the amount of $120,007.66 3 The cost for these purchases are covered in the FY22/23 SCSA Capital Expenditures Budget referenced as Parking Lot Camera Upgrade in the amount of $42,000 and Bowl Camera Upgrade/Refurbishment in the amount of $141,750.
It must be noted that there we need to complete the installation work once the cameras are received for the Bowl Camera Upgrade project. Stadium Manager will determine if the work can be performed in house or through one of the contractors we have an on-call maintenance agreement with. If a third-party contactor is utilized, Stadium Manager will submit the necessary documents to the Board for review and approval.
Next Steps
Once Stadium Manager receives approval from the SCSA Board, Purchase Orders will be issued to EyeP Solutions, Inc. and executed copies forwarded to the Board. Supporting documentation is provided for review and approval.

DISCUSSION
Stadium Authority staff reviewed the Stadium Manager’s Recommendation for Award memo, supporting documentation, and draft purchase orders that were submitted (the memo is attached to corresponding report #22-1405) for consistency against the Stadium Authority Procurement Policy City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 3 Printed on 12/2/2022

and Santa Clara City Code Chapter (SCCC) 2.105.140(b) (Competitive Requirements for Purchases - Purchase Order Between $15,000 and $250,000). The Stadium Manager obtained quotes for this procurement and is recommending award to the lowest quote received (EyeP Solutions, Inc.).
Based on this review, staff recommends approval of the Stadium Manager’s request to award purchase orders to EyeP Solutions, Inc. for the two CapEx projects.
The Stadium Authority Counsel’s Office has reviewed the requested purchase order for comparison to the Stadium Authority’s customary language. While there are some differences in the language, including portions covering compliance with laws such as prevailing wage and conflict of interest, the purchase order submitted here for approval contains the necessary language which identifies these legal obligations to the vendor. The vendor expressly agrees to adhere to such obligations upon its execution of the purchase order. Nothing in the proposed purchase order changes the Stadium Authority’s rights under the Management Agreement and specifically with respect to any dispute that may arise from the Stadium Manager’s obligations under the Management Agreement.
In addition, per Paragraph 4(b) of the Settlement Agreement, the Stadium Authority reserves all rights to confirm and dispute charges by and payments to the Stadium Manager during a fiscal year-end reconciliation/true-up, including but not limited to changes based on improper allocation, calculation, lack of support, or failure to comply with the Parties’ contracts or California law. The Stadium Authority may raise related questions before the fiscal year-end reconciliation/true-up, which the Stadium Manager agrees to assess and respond to in good faith.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW

Subject: Recommendation for Award RFB FY22-0031 Levi’s Stadium Cooling Towers Project
Recommendation
1. Recommend approval and award of a one-time contract to United Mechanical, Inc., in the amount of $117,350, to replace the internal parts and systems for the cooling towers at Levi’s Stadium.
2. Recommend a budget augmentation for the Levi’s Stadium Cooling Towers Project (Project) of $89,768.21, which will increase the total budget amount for this Project from $46,001 to $135,769.21. The original Project budget was approved by the Santa Clara Stadium Authority (SCSA) as part of the FY22/23 SCSA Capital Expenditures Budget.
3. Authorize Stadium Manager to execute any and all documents associated with, and necessary for the award, completion, and acceptance of this Project; and
4. Authorize Stadium Manager to execute change orders up to 10% of the Project cost or $11,735 for a total not to exceed construction contract amount of $129,085.
Solicitation Process
Forty Niners Stadium Management Company LLC (Stadium Manager) has a need to replace certain internal parts and systems for the cooling towers at Levi’s Stadium (Stadium). This includes, but is not limited to, the replacement of motors, fans, fill, controls, and piping in the cooling towers which in turn support the HVAC system functionality at the Stadium.
The Project was approved as part of the FY22/23 SCSA Capital Expenditures budget.
On July 26 2022, Stadium Manager issued a Request for Bids (RFB) FY22-0031 for the Project.
Stadium Manager published the RFB on Bonfire Interactive, Stadium Manager’s eProcurement portal https://49ers.bonfirehub.com/portal/. In addition to inviting a list of contractors on our established supplier list, Stadium Manager also selected contractors registered on the portal with specific commodity codes offering such services.
2 On July 29, 2022, Stadium Manager published the Notice Inviting Bids for the Project in the San Jose Mercury News publication. Notices were also emailed on July 26, 2022 to the Builders’ Exchange of Santa Clara County and Minority Business Consortium to communicate with their respective member communities regarding the solicitation for the Project.
Stadium Manager held a non-mandatory pre-bid conference on August 8, 2022 at 2:00 p.m. (PT) to provide an overview of the Project and answer any questions from prospective bidders. The RFB provided prospective bidders the option to schedule on-site visits to the Stadium.
Electronic bid submissions were due on or before August 25, 2022 at 3:00 p.m. (PT). Three bids were received on or before the closing due date and time from the following firms:
1. United Mechanical Inc. - $117,569
2. ACCO - $158,902
3. Carrier Corporation - $116,144
Public Bid Opening
A public bid opening was held on August 25, 2022 at 4:30 p.m. (PT). The RFB provided the public bid opening webcast information including a meeting ID and password for bidders to log on via Zoom to attend. Multiple callers were in attendance. Stadium Manager announced the receipt of the three bids on or before the due date and time, announced the name of the bidders and the base bid amounts and declared Carrier Corporation as the apparent low bidder.
The protest period ended on September 1, 2022. There were no protests.
Evaluation of Apparent Low Bidder
Stadium Manager reviewed the bid from Carrier Corporation and determined that the apparent low bidder’s bid was nonresponsive. The bid forms were unsigned and no bid bond was provided. The bidder also augmented the bid forms included as part of Addendum #1 to the Bid Documents. The bidder also failed to provide several other bid forms. Carrier Corporation was notified of the results, and Stadium Manager offered to provide training on bid submissions for future opportunities.
The second low bidder, United Mechanical, Inc. (the firm’s full legal name is California United Mechanical, Inc.), is the lowest responsible bidder submitting a responsive bid. United Mechanical, Inc. is properly licensed with the California State License Board and registered with DIR. There is a minor arithmetical error in the calculation of the base bid amount, which we are authorized to correct per the terms of the Bid Documents. The actual total base bid amount is $83,852 (versus the stated amount of $84,071). This means the total bid price (the base bid amount plus additive alternate #1) is $117,350 (versus the stated amount of $117,569).
A budget augmentation is necessary to move this Project forward because the base bid amount alone is in excess of the remaining Project budget.
3 Next Steps
The Project was approved as part of the FY22/23 SCSA Capital Expenditures budget. The current approved amount for this Project is $46,001.
Stadium Manager is recommending a budget augmentation to address the following costs for this Project:
1. Issuance of a Task Order to HKS Architects, Inc. - $6,450
2. San Jose Mercury News Publication Fees - $234.21
3. United Mechanical, Inc. Bid - $117,350
Once Stadium Manager receives approval from the SCSA Board, a contract (included in the RFB) will be executed with United Mechanical, Inc., and a fully executed copy of the contract will be forwarded to the SCSA. In addition, Stadium Manager requests authorization to issue change orders up to $11,735 or 10% of the project cost which will allow Stadium Manager to take timely administrative action if required and not delay completion of the Project.
Supporting documentation has been provided for review and approval. The cost for advertising the RFB in the San Jose Mercury News publication for one day is $234.21. Stadium Manager’s request to publish legal notices in the San Jose Mercury News for various solicitations, including public works, was approved by the SCSA Board on July 13, 2021. This Project is a public works project.

3.7.6 Substitutions for Contract Retentions. In accordance with California Public Contract Code Section 22300, the Stadium Manager will permit the substitution of securities for any monies withheld by the Stadium Manager to ensure performance under the Contract.

RFB Number: RFB-FY22-0031 6 CONTRACT

3.7.7 Title to Work. As security for partial, progress, or other payments, title to Work for which such payments are made shall pass to the Stadium Manager at the time of payment. To the extent that title has not previously been vested in the Stadium Manager by reason of payments, full title shall pass to the Stadium Manager at delivery of the Work at the destination and time specified in this Contract. Such transferred title shall in each case be good, free and clear from any and all security interests, liens, or other encumbrances. Contractor promises and agrees that it will not pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise encumber the items in any manner that would result in any lien, security interest, charge, or claim upon or against said items.
Such transfer of title shall not imply acceptance by the Stadium Manager, nor relieve Contractor from the responsibility to strictly comply with the Contract and shall not relieve Contractor of responsibility for any loss of or damage to items.
3.7.8 Labor and Material Releases. Contractor shall furnish Stadium Manager with labor and material releases from all subcontractors performing work on, or furnishing materials for, the Work governed by this Contract prior to final payment by Stadium Manager.
3.7.9 Prevailing Wages. Contractor is aware of the requirements of California Labor Code Section 1720 et seq., and 1770 et seq., as well as California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 16000 et seq., (“Prevailing Wage Laws”), which require the payment of prevailing wage rates and the performance of other requirements on “public works” and “maintenance” projects. Since the Services are being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and since the total compensation is $1,000 or more, Contractor agrees to fully comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws. Stadium Manager shall provide Contractor with a copy of the prevailing rates of per diem wages in effect at the commencement of this Contract upon request. Contractor shall make copies of the prevailing rates of per diem wages for each craft, classification or type of worker needed to execute the Services available to interested parties upon request and shall post copies at Contractor’s principal place of business and at the project site. Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold the Indemnified Parties (defined below) free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws.

3.7.10 Apprenticeable Crafts. When Contractor employs workmen in an apprenticeable craft or trade, Contractor shall comply with the provisions of Section 1777.5 of the California Labor Code with respect to the employment of properly registered apprentices upon public works. The primary responsibility for compliance with said Section for all apprenticeable occupations shall be with Contractor. The Contractor or any subcontractor that is determined by the Labor Commissioner to have knowingly violated Section 1777.5 shall forfeit as a civil penalty an amount not exceeding $100 for each full calendar day of noncompliance, or such greater amount as provided by law.
3.7.11 Hours of Work. Contractor is advised that eight (8) hours labor constitutes a legal day’s work. Pursuant to Section 1813 of the California Labor Code, Contractor shall forfeit a penalty of $25.00 per worker for each day that each worker is permitted to work more than eight (8) hours in any one calendar day and forty (40) hours in any one calendar week, except when payment for overtime is made at not less than one and one-half (1-1/2) times the basic rate for that worker.

3.7.12 Payroll Records. Contractor and each subcontractor shall keep an accurate payroll record, showing the name, address, social security number, work classification, straight time and overtime hours worked each day and week, and the actual per diem wages paid to each journeyman, apprentice, worker, or other employee employed by him or her in connection with the public work. The payroll records shall be certified and shall be available for inspection at all reasonable hours at the principal office of Contractor in the manner provided in Labor Code Section 1776. In the event of noncompliance with the requirements of this Section, Contractor shall have 10 days in which to comply subsequent to receipt of written notice specifying in what respects such Contractor must comply with this Section. Should noncompliance still be evident after such 10-day period, Contractor shall, as a penalty to Stadium Manager, forfeit not more than $100.00 for each calendar day or portion thereof, for each worker, until strict compliance is effectuated. The amount of the forfeiture is to be determined by the Labor Commissioner. A contractor who is found to have violated the provisions of law regarding wages on public works with the intent to defraud shall be ineligible to bid on public works contracts for a period of one to three years as determined by the Labor Commissioner. Upon the request of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards or the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, such penalties shall be withheld from progress payments then due. The responsibility for compliance with this Section is on Contractor. The requirement to submit certified payroll records directly to the Labor Commissioner under Labor Code Section 1771.4 shall not apply to work performed on a public works project that is exempt pursuant to the small project exemption specified in Labor Code Section 1771.4.
3.7.13 Contractor and Subcontractor Registration. Pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1, all contractors and subcontractors that wish to bid on, be listed in a bid proposal, or enter into a contract to perform public work must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations.

REPORT TO STADIUM AUTHORITY BOARD
SUBJECT
Report from the Stadium Authority for Action Regarding Stadium Manager’s Request to Award Agreement to California United Mechanical, Inc. for the Cooling Towers CapEx Project and Related Budget Amendment
BOARD PILLAR
Ensure Compliance with Measure J and Manage Levi’s Stadium
BACKGROUND
On October 8, 2019, the Stadium Authority Board (Board) approved Ordinance No. 2005 amending Chapter 17.30 of the City Code (Stadium Authority Procurement Policy), which rescinded the delegation to the Executive Director to enter into agreements without prior Board approval. As result of Ordinance No. 2005, the Stadium Manager is also required to request Board approval before entering into agreements on behalf of the Stadium Authority. As of the effective date of the Ordinance (November 8, 2019), all Stadium Authority agreements for services, supplies, materials, and equipment require the approval of the Stadium Authority Board.
As the Stadium Manager, Forty Niners Stadium Management Company, LLC is responsible for maintaining “the Stadium in the Required Condition and operate the Stadium as a quality NFL and multi-purpose public sports, public assembly, exhibit and entertainment facility” as required by the Management Agreement between the Stadium Authority and ManCo.
The Stadium Manager is requesting approval for the following actions related to the Cooling Towers Capital Expense (CapEx) Project:
1. Award a one-time agreement to California United Mechanical, Inc. in the amount of $117,350 to replace internal parts and systems for the cooling towers at Levi’s Stadium;
2. Approve a budget amendment to increase the total budget amount by $89,768, from $46,001 to $135,769, for this CapEx project;
3. Authorize the Stadium Manager to execute any and all documents associated with, and necessary for the award, completion, and acceptance of the project; and
4. Authorize the Stadium Manager to execute change orders up to 10% of the project cost ($11,735), for a total not to exceed construction agreement amount of $129,085.
The Stadium Authority Fiscal Year (FY) 2022/23 CapEx Budget includes $46,001 for the Cooling Towers line item. The proposed budget amendment will cover the cost of the one-time agreement ($117,350), a 10% contingency for change orders ($11,735), HKS Architects task order ($6,450), and San Jose Mercury News publication fees ($234).

22-1414 Agenda Date: 12/6/2022
On November 9, 2021, the Stadium Authority Board approved a Master Agreement with Task Order Forms with HKS Architects for architectural and engineering services. The Stadium Authority Board also approved purchase orders for the publication of legal notices in the San Jose Mercury News and Santa Clara Weekly for various solicitations. As such, the expenses related to HKS and San Jose Mercury News do not require further Board approval.
DISCUSSION
Stadium Authority staff reviewed the Stadium Manager’s Recommendation for Award memo, supporting procurement documents, and the draft agreement with United Mechanical, Inc. (these documents are attached to corresponding report #22-1413) for consistency against the Stadium Authority Procurement Policy and the City’s public works bidding practices (City Charter Section 1310). The Stadium Manager’s Request for Bids (RFB) received three responses and the Stadium Manager is recommending award to the lowest responsible bidder (California United Mechanical, Inc.).
The Recommendation for Award memo did not include the reason for the increase in project cost so staff requested more information from the Stadium Manager. The following reasons were provided:
· The Stadium Manager engaged an engineering consultant to perform an onsite evaluation of the cooling towers in April 2022. The project budget was a carryover project from previous fiscal years, so there was a decision to hire an industry expert to provide a recommendation based on the current condition of the equipment. The evaluation resulted in more equipment renewal and replacement costs than originally expected. · The consultant also recommended to purchase necessary attic stock for critical equipment, which was not originally considered, but is necessary to ensure dependable contingency operations in the event of equipment failure.
· Finally, this project, like many other construction projects, has been impacted by the significant cost increase in recent years. The Association of Contractors (“AGC”), with assistance from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (“BLS”), released a 2022 Construction Inflation Alert that forecasts the Bid Price - Producer Price Index (“PPI”) actually increased 19.8% nationally from June 2021 to June 2022. The AGC report highlights the cost impacts that the Stadium Manager is experiencing across this and many other projects. · The combination of necessary equipment renewal and replacement, unanticipated attic stock purchase and unprecedented increase in material costs, supply-chain bottlenecks and tight labor markets resulted in higher bid value than the budget amount.
Based on the documentation and provided information, staff recommends approval of the Stadium Manager’s request to award a one-time agreement to United Mechanical, Inc. for the Cooling Towers CapEx project work and a related budget amendment to increase the existing line item by $89,768.
Regarding the Stadium Manager’s request for authority to execute any and all documents related to the project and issue change orders up to 10% of the construction agreement amount, staff recommends that this authority be delegated instead to the Executive Director. Currently, the Executive Director has no procurement delegated authority under the Stadium Authority Procurement Policy. Approving staff’s recommendation to provide the Executive Director with such authority to approve the execution of documents related to the project and the execution of change orders up to $11,735 accomplishes the expediency that the Stadium Manager seeks.

22-1414 Agenda Date: 12/6/2022
The Stadium Authority Counsel’s Office has reviewed the requested agreement for comparison to the Stadium Authority’s customary language. While there are some differences in the language, including portions covering compliance with laws such as prevailing wage and conflict of interest, the agreement submitted here for approval contains the necessary language which identifies these legal obligations to the vendor. The vendor expressly agrees to adhere to such obligations upon its execution of the agreement. Nothing in the proposed agreement changes the Stadium Authority’s rights under the Management Agreement and specifically with respect to any dispute that may arise from the Stadium Manager’s obligations under the Management Agreement.
In addition, per paragraph 4(b) of the Settlement Agreement, the Stadium Authority reserves all rights to confirm and dispute charges by and payments to the Stadium Manager during a fiscal year-end reconciliation/true-up, including but not limited to changes based on improper allocation, calculation, lack of support, or failure to comply with the Parties’ contracts or California law. The Stadium Authority may raise related questions before the fiscal year-end reconciliation/true-up, which the Stadium Manager agrees to assess and respond to in good faith.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The actions being considered do not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(a) as it has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
As noted above, the Stadium Authority FY 2022/23 CapEx Budget includes $46,001 for the Cooling Towers CapEx Project. The Stadium Manager’s requests will require a budget amendment to increase the line item by $89,768 to a total budget amount of $135,769. The table below summarizes the budget amendment:
CapEx Project Adopted

Recommendation for Award RFB FY22-0030 Levi's Stadium Broadcast Booth Power Project
Recommendation
1. Recommend approval and award of a one-time contract to Bear Electrical Solutions, Inc., in the amount of $28,800, to implement supplemental lighting power and controls in the broadcast booth at Levi's Stadium.
2. Recommend a budget augmentation for the Levi's Stadium Broadcast Booth Power Project (Project) of $39,893.19, which will increase the total budget amount for this Project from $17,000 to $56,893.19. The original Project budget was approved by the Santa Clara Stadium Authority (SCSA) as part of the FY22/23 SCSA Capital Expenditures Budget.
3. Authorize Stadium Manager to execute any and all documents associated with, and necessary for the award, completion, and acceptance of this Project; and
4. Authorize Stadium Manager to execute change orders up to $2,880 for a total not to exceed construction contract amount of $31,760.
Solicitation Process
Forty Niners Stadium Management Company LLC (Stadium Manager) has a need to implement supplemental lighting power and controls in the broadcast booth. The existing lighting grid in the ceiling has inadequate lighting and are currently controlled with a dimmer switch near the door of the room. The Project involves providing additional power to the existing portable overhead ceiling lighting outlets in the broadcast booth at Levi's Stadium (Stadium). This work includes, among other things, a new panel with new feeder to accommodate additional circuits to existing outlets.
The Project was approved as part of the FY22/23 SCSA Capital Expenditures budget.
On July 26 2022, Stadium Manager issued a Request for Bids (RFB) FY22-0030 for the Project. 1 DocuSign Envelope ID: 96D54142-C585-40CD-ACD1-6BBDDD4E5A4C Stadium Manager published the RFB on Bonfire Interactive, Stadium Manager's eProcurement portal https://49ers.bonfirehub.com/portal/. In addition to inviting a list of contractors on our established supplier list, Stadium Manager also selected contractors registered on the portal with specific commodity codes offering such services.
On July 29, 2022, Stadium Manager published the Notice Inviting Bids for the Project in the San Jose Mercury News publication. Notices were also emailed on July 26, 2022 to the Builders' Exchange of Santa Clara County and Minority Business Consortium to communicate with their respective member communities regarding the solicitation for the Project.
Stadium Manager held a non-mandatory pre-bid conference on August 8, 2022 at 11:30 a.m. (PT) to provide an overview of the Project and answer any questions from prospective bidders.
The RFB provided prospective bidders the option to schedule on-site visits to the Stadium.
Electronic bid submissions were due on or before August 25, 2022 at 3:00 p.m. (PT). Two bids were received on or before the closing due date and time from the following firms:
1. Bear Electrical Solutions, Inc. - $28,880
2. Cupertino Electric, Inc. - $29,452.00
Public Bid Opening
A public bid opening was held on August 25, 2022 at 4:30 p.m. (PT). The RFB provided the public bid opening webcast information including a meeting ID and password for bidders to log on via Zoom to attend. Multiple callers were in attendance. Stadium Manager announced the receipt of the two bids on or before the due date and time, announced the name of the bidders and the base bid amounts and declared Bear Electrical Solutions, Inc. the apparent low bidder.
The protest period ended on September 1, 2022. There were no protests.
Evaluation of Apparent Low Bidder
Stadium Manager reviewed the bid from Bear Electrical Solutions, Inc., and determined it to be the lowest responsive bid submitted by a responsible bidder.
Next Steps
The Project was approved as part of the FY22/23 SCSA Capital Expenditures budget. The current approved amount for this Project is $17,000.
The original budgeted amount for this Project in the FY21/23 SCSA Capital Expenditures budget was $36,750. Stadium Manager utilized an existing SCSA Board approved agreement with HKS Architects, Inc. for design work. However, there was a timing issue with progress billing from HKS Architects, Inc., decreasing the budget for FY 22/23 to $17,000.
Stadium Manager is recommending a budget augmentation to address the following costs for this Project:
2 DocuSign Envelope ID: 96O54142-C585-40CD-ACD1-6BBDDD4E5A4C
1. Issuance of a Task Order to HKS Architects, Inc. - $24,350
2. Permit Fee #1 to City of Santa Clara - $316.67
3. Permit Fee #2 to City of Santa Clara - $305.998
4. San Jose Mercury News Publication Fees - $240.54
5. Bear Electrical Solutions Bid - $28,880
Once Stadium Manager receives approval from the SCSA Board, a contract (included in the RFB) will be executed with Bear Electrical Solutions, Inc., and a fully executed copy of the contract will be forwarded to the SCSA. In addition, Stadium Manager requests authorization to issue change orders up to $2,880 or 10% of the Project cost which will allow Stadium Manager to take timely administrative action if required and not delay completion of the Project.
Supporting documentation has been provided for review and approval. The cost for advertising the RFB in the San Jose Mercury News publication for one day is $240.54. Stadium Manager's request to publish legal notices in the San Jose Mercury News for various solicitations, including public works, was approved by the SCSA Board on July 13, 2021. This Project is a public works project.

3.7.3 Prompt Payment. Stadium Manager shall review and pay all progress payment requests in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 20104.50 of the California Public Contract Code.

3.7.5 Other Deductions and Withholdings. In addition to Contract retentions, the Stadium Manager may deduct from each progress payment an amount necessary to protect Stadium Manager from loss because of: (1) liquidated damages which have accrued as of the date of the application for payment; (2) any sums expended by the Stadium Manager in performing any of Contractor’s obligations under the Contract which Contractor has failed to perform or has performed inadequately; (3) defective Work not remedied; (4) stop notices as allowed by state law; (5) reasonable doubt that the Work can be completed for the unpaid balance of the Total Contract Price or within the scheduled completion date; (6) unsatisfactory prosecution of the Work by Contractor; (7) unauthorized deviations from the Contract; (8) failure of Contractor to maintain or submit on a timely basis proper and sufficient documentation as required by the Contract or by Stadium Manager during the prosecution of the Work; (9) erroneous or false estimates by Contractor of the value of the Work performed; (10) any sums representing expenses, losses, or damages as determined by the Stadium Manager, incurred by the Stadium Manager for which Contractor is liable under the Contract; (11) the failure to comply with and timely submit all necessary prevailing wage compliance documentation as required under this Contract; and (12) any other sums which the Stadium Manager is entitled to recover from Contractor under the terms of the Contract or pursuant to state law, including Section 1727 of the California Labor Code.

Contractor shall be the beneficial owner of any securities substituted for monies withheld and shall receive any interest thereon. The escrow agreement used for the purposes of this Section shall be in the form provided by the Stadium Manager.

3.7.7 Title to Work. As security for partial, progress, or other payments, title to Work for which such payments are made shall pass to the Stadium Manager at the time of payment. To the extent that title has not previously been vested in the Stadium Manager by reason of payments, full title shall pass to the Stadium Manager at delivery of the Work at the destination and time specified in this Contract. Such transferred title shall in each case be good, free and clear from any and all security interests, liens, or other encumbrances. Contractor promises and agrees that it will not pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise encumber the items in any manner that would result in any lien, security interest, charge, or claim upon or against said items.

3.7.8 Labor and Material Releases. Contractor shall furnish Stadium Manager with labor and material releases from all subcontractors performing work on, or furnishing materials for, the Work governed by this Contract prior to final payment by Stadium Manager.
3.7.9 Prevailing Wages.

Since the Services are being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and since the total compensation is $1,000 or more, Contractor agrees to fully comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws. Stadium Manager shall provide Contractor with a copy of the prevailing rates of per diem wages in effect at the commencement of this Contract upon request. Contractor shall make copies of the prevailing rates of per diem wages for each craft, classification or type of worker needed to execute the Services available to interested parties upon request and shall post copies at Contractor’s principal place of business and at the project site. Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold the Indemnified Parties (defined below) free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws.

REPORT TO STADIUM AUTHORITY BOARD
SUBJECT
Report from the Stadium Authority for Action Regarding Stadium Manager’s Request to Award Agreement to Bear Electrical Solutions, Inc. for the Broadcast Booth Power CapEx Project and Related Budget Amendment
BOARD PILLAR
Ensure Compliance with Measure J and Manage Levi’s Stadium
BACKGROUND
On October 8, 2019, the Stadium Authority Board (Board) approved Ordinance No. 2005 amending Chapter 17.30 of the City Code (Stadium Authority Procurement Policy), which rescinded the delegation to the Executive Director to enter into agreements without prior Board approval. As result of Ordinance No. 2005, the Stadium Manager is also required to request Board approval before entering into agreements on behalf of the Stadium Authority. As of the effective date of the Ordinance (November 8, 2019), all Stadium Authority agreements for services, supplies, materials, and equipment require the approval of the Stadium Authority Board.
As the Stadium Manager, Forty Niners Stadium Management Company, LLC (ManCo), is responsible for maintaining “the Stadium in the Required Condition and operate the Stadium as a quality NFL and multi-purpose public sports, public assembly, exhibit and entertainment facility” as required by the Management Agreement between ManCo and the Stadium Authority.
The Stadium Manager is requesting approval for the following actions related to the Broadcast Booth Power Capital Expense (CapEx) Project:
1. Award a one-time agreement to Bear Electrical Solutions, Inc. in the amount of $28,800 to implement supplemental lighting power and controls in the broadcast booth at Levi’s Stadium;
2. Approve a budget amendment to increase the total budget amount for this CapEx project by $39,893, from $17,000 to $56,893. The Stadium Authority FY 2022/23 CapEx Budget includes $17,000 for the Broadcast Booth Power CapEx line item;
3. Authorize the Stadium Manager to execute any and all documents associated with, and necessary for the award, completion, and acceptance of the project; and
4. Authorize the Stadium Manager to execute change orders up to $2,880, for a total not to exceed construction agreement amount of $31,680.
The proposed budget amendment will cover the costs of the one-time agreement ($28,800), a 10% contingency for change orders ($2,880), HKS Architects task order ($24,350), City of Santa Clara permit fees ($622), and San Jose Mercury News publication fees ($241).

DISCUSSION
Stadium Authority staff reviewed the Stadium Manager’s Recommendation for Award memo, supporting documentation, and draft agreement (memo and draft agreement are attached to corresponding report #22-1416) for consistency against the Stadium Authority Procurement Policy and the City’s public works bidding practices (City Charter Section 1310). The Stadium Manager’s Request for Bids (RFB) received two responses and the Stadium Manager is recommending award to the lowest bidder, Bear Electrical Solutions, Inc.
Based on the documentation provided, staff recommends approval of the Stadium Manager’s request to award a one-time agreement to Bear Electrical Solutions, Inc. in the amount of $28,800 for the Broadcast Booth Power CapEx Project and approval of a budget amendment to increase the existing line item in the Stadium Authority FY 2022/23 CapEx Budget by $39,893.
The project is a carryover from the FY 2019/20 CapEx Project, which included $36,750 for the line item. The Stadium Manager explains in their Recommendation for Award memo that they utilized an existing agreement with HKS Architects, Inc., which was approved by the Stadium Authority Board on November 9, 2021, for design work related to the project. However, due to timing issues with progress billing from HKS Architects, the Stadium Manager decreased their budget request for the project in the FY 2022/23 CapEx Budget. The Stadium Manager received Board approval on July 13, 2021 to publish legal notices in the San Jose Mercury News and Santa Clara Weekly for various solicitations.
Regarding the Stadium Manager’s request for authority to execute any and all documents related to the project and change orders, staff recommends that the authority be delegated instead to the Executive Director. Currently, the Executive Director has no delegated authority under the Stadium Authority Procurement Policy. Approving staff’s recommendation to provide the Executive Director with such authority to approve the execution of all documents related to the project and change orders up to $2,880 accomplishes the expediency that the Stadium Manager seeks.
The Stadium Authority Counsel’s Office has reviewed the requested agreement for comparison to the Stadium Authority’s customary language. While there are some differences in the language, including portions covering compliance with laws such as prevailing wage and conflict of interest, the agreement submitted here for approval contains the necessary language which identifies these legal obligations to the vendor. The vendor expressly agrees to adhere to such obligations upon its execution of the agreement. Nothing in the proposed agreement changes the Stadium Authority’s rights under the Management Agreement and specifically with respect to any dispute that may arise from the Stadium Manager’s obligations under the Management Agreement.
In addition, per paragraph 4(b) of the Settlement Agreement, the Stadium Authority reserves all rights to confirm and dispute charges by and payments to the Stadium Manager during a fiscal year-end reconciliation/true-up, including but not limited to changes based on improper allocation, calculation, lack of support, or failure to comply with the Parties’ contracts or California law. The Stadium Authority may raise related questions before the fiscal year-end reconciliation/true-up, which the Stadium Manager agrees to assess and respond to in good faith.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(a) as it has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
As noted above, the FY 2022/23 CapEx Budget contains $17,000 for the Broadcast Booth Power CapEx Project. The Stadium Manager’s requests will require a budget amendment to increase the line item by $39,893 to a total budget amount of $56,893. The table below summarizes the budget amendment as discussed above:
CapEx Project Adopted
Budget

(Decrease)

Broadcast Booth Power CapEx Project $17,000 $39,893 $56,893 Capital Expense Reserve $3,168,756 ($39,893) $3,128,863

In accordance with the Stadium Builders License (SBL) Agreements, Stadium Manager is required to send hard copy invoices to SBL holders for their annual installments, which are due on March 1, 2022. Along with paper invoices being mailed via the United States Postal Service (USPS) in early 2022, Stadium Manager will also send an email notifying the account holder that they can also pay online via Account Manager.
Stadium Manager has a need to issue approximately 9,000 invoices to recipients. These invoices are either single or two pages requiring the vendor to use a data file provided by Stadium Manager to complete a mail merge and print the letters on Stadium Manager’s letterhead. A printed return envelope with prepaid return postage is provided to each recipient to mail their payments. Stadium Manager requires the invoice and return envelope to be stuffed in a printed window envelope, sealed and mailed via USPS the week of January 10, 2022.
Stadium Manager requested and received a quotation from Benjamin Litho, Inc. in the amount of $9,217.21 which is inclusive of postage fees.
Therefore, approval is sought to issue a Purchase Order to Benjamin Litho, Inc. for a not to exceed amount of $9,300.00 inclusive of postage and applicable sales tax for printing and mailing of SBL invoices. The vendor will issue an invoice for the actual number of invoices printed and mailed using the USPS first class pre-sorted mail as applicable.

REPORT TO STADIUM AUTHORITY BOARD
SUBJECT
Report from the Stadium Authority for Action Regarding Stadium Manager’s Request to Issue Purchase Orders to Benjamin Litho, Inc. for Printing and Mailing Services
BOARD PILLAR
Ensure Compliance with Measure J and Manage Levi’s Stadium
BACKGROUND
On October 8, 2019, the Stadium Authority Board (Board) approved Ordinance No. 2005 amending Chapter 17.30 of the City Code (Stadium Authority Procurement Policy), which rescinded the delegation to the Executive Director to enter into agreements without prior Board approval. As result of Ordinance No. 2005, the Stadium Manager is also required to request Board approval before entering into agreements on behalf of the Stadium Authority. As of the effective date of the Ordinance (November 8, 2019), all Stadium Authority agreements for services, supplies, materials, and equipment require the approval of the Stadium Authority Board.
As the Stadium Manager, Forty Niners Stadium Management Company, LLC is responsible for maintaining “the Stadium in the Required Condition and operate the Stadium as a quality NFL and multi-purpose public sports, public assembly, exhibit and entertainment facility” as required by the Management Agreement between the Stadium Authority and Stadium Manager.
The Stadium Manager is requesting approval for the following actions:
1. Issue a purchase order to Benjamin Litho, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $9,300 inclusive of postage fees and applicable sales tax to print and mail out 2023 Stadium Builders License (SBL) invoices; and
2. Issue a purchase order to Benjamin Litho, Inc. in the amount of $1,080 inclusive of applicable sales tax and delivery to print tags for Guest Services for lost items and storage of patron owned items (e.g., strollers, wheelchairs, etc.) during events.
These costs are covered in the Stadium Authority Fiscal Year (FY) 2022/23 Budget SBL Sales and Service and Guest Services line items, respectively.
DISCUSSION
Staff reviewed the requests (attached to corresponding report #22-1444) for consistency with the Stadium Authority Procurement Policy and Santa Clara City Code Chapter 2.105.140(a) (Competitive Requirements for Purchases - Purchase Orders Under $15,000). Since both requests are each less than $15,000, no competitive procurement method was implemented.

22-1445 Agenda Date: 12/6/2022
Based on this review, staff recommends approval of the Stadium Manager’s request to issue purchase orders to Benjamin Litho, Inc. for the described printing and mailing services.
The Stadium Authority Counsel’s Office has reviewed the requested purchase order for comparison to the Stadium Authority’s customary language. While there are some differences in the language, including portions covering compliance with laws such as prevailing wage and conflict of interest, the purchase order submitted here for approval contains the necessary language which identifies these legal obligations to the vendor. The vendor expressly agrees to adhere to such obligations upon its execution of the purchase order. Nothing in the proposed purchase order changes the Stadium Authority’s rights under the Management Agreement and specifically with respect to any dispute that may arise from the Stadium Manager’s obligations under the Management Agreement.
In addition, per Paragraph 4(b) of the Settlement Agreement, the Stadium Authority reserves all rights to confirm and dispute charges by and payments to the Stadium Manager during a fiscal year-end reconciliation/true-up, including but not limited to changes based on improper allocation, calculation, lack of support, or failure to comply with the Parties’ contracts or California law. The Stadium Authority may raise related questions before the fiscal year-end reconciliation/true-up, which the Stadium Manager agrees to assess and respond to in good faith.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The actions being considered do not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(a) as it has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment or pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(4) in that it is a fiscal activity that does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potential significant impact on the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Stadium Authority FY 2022/23 Budget contains $2.1 million for SBL Sales and Service. There are sufficient funds to cover the purchase order in an amount not to exceed $9,300 for printing and mailing services for the 2023 SBL invoices. The Stadium Authority is responsible for the full cost of these services.
The Stadium Authority FY 2022/23 Budget also contains Shared Stadium Manager Expenses (Shared Expenses) such as Security, Stadium Operations, Engineering, Guest Services, and Groundskeeping. Shared Expenses are split between the Stadium Authority and Forty Niners SC Stadium Company LLC per the Management Agreement. There are sufficient funds in the FY 2022/23 Guest Services line item to cover the printing and delivery of tags for Guest Services ($1,080, of which the Stadium Authority is responsible for $540).
COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Stadium Authority Counsel and Treasurer’s Offices.

Public contact was made by posting the Council agenda on the City’s official-notice bulletin board outside City Hall Council Chambers.

Solicitation Process
Forty Niners Stadium Management Company LLC (Stadium Manager) has a need to replace existing faded, damaged, or outdated signage elements with new updated elements including cut vinyl lettering, panel replacement, and new wayfinding signage and maps at Levi’s Stadium (Stadium).
The Wayfinding Signage Project (Project) was approved as part of the FY22/23 Santa Clara Stadium Authority (SCSA) Capital Expenditures budget.
On August 23, 2022, Stadium Manager issued a Request for Bids (RFB) FY22-0033 for the Project.
Stadium Manager published the RFB on Bonfire Interactive, Stadium Manager’s eProcurement portal https://49ers.bonfirehub.com/portal/. In addition to inviting a list of contractors on our established supplier list, Stadium Manager also selected contractors registered on the portal with specific commodity codes offering such services.
2 On August 29, 2022, Stadium Manager published the Notice Inviting Bids for the Project in the San Jose Mercury News publication. Notices were also emailed on August 23, 2022 to the Builders’ Exchange of Santa Clara County, Bay Area Builders’ Exchange, and Minority Business Consortium to communicate with their respective member communities regarding the solicitation for the Project.
Stadium Manager held a non-mandatory pre-bid conference on August 31, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. (PT) to provide an overview of the Project and answer any questions from prospective bidders.
The RFB provided prospective bidders the option to schedule on-site visits to the Stadium.
Multiple addenda were issued to clarify questions, update the bid documents, revise the dates and times for receipt of bids, public bid opening and timeline to file a protest.
Electronic bid submissions were due on or before October 13, 2022 at 3:00 p.m. (PT). Three bids were received on or before the closing due date and time from the following firms:
1. Square Signs LLC - $224,676
2. Oakhurst Signs - $167,495.18
3. Fluoresco Services, LLC - $112,485.90
Public Bid Opening
A public bid opening was held on October 13, at 4:00 p.m. (PT). The RFB provided the public bid opening webcast information including a meeting ID and password for bidders to log on via Zoom to attend. Multiple callers were in attendance. Stadium Manager announced the receipt of the two bids on or before the due date and time, announced the name of the bidders and the base bid amounts and declared Fluoresco Services, LLC the apparent low bidder.
The protest period ended on October 20, 2022. There were no protests.
Evaluation of Apparent Low Bidder
Stadium Manager reviewed the bid from Fluoresco Services, LLC and determined it to be the lowest responsive bid submitted by a responsible bidder. There was one minor immaterial deviation in the total base bid amount. The stated base bid amount is $112,485.90, but the actual base bid amount is $112,485.94 (a 4 cent deviation). Our bid documents allow us to correct arithmetical errors in the calculation of the bid.
Next Steps
The Project was approved as part of the FY22/23 SCSA Capital Expenditures budget. The current approved amount for this Project is $262,500.
Once Stadium Manager receives approval from the SCSA Board, a contract (included in the RFB) will be executed with Fluroresco Services, LLC and a fully executed copy of the contract will be forwarded to the SCSA. In addition, Stadium Manager requests authorization to issue change orders up to $11,248.60 or 10% of the Project cost which will allow Stadium Manager to take timely administrative action if required and not delay completion of the Project. 3 Supporting documentation has been provided for review and approval. The cost for advertising the RFB in the San Jose Mercury News publication for one day is $284.85. Stadium Manager’s request to publish legal notices in the San Jose Mercury News for various solicitations, including public works, was approved by the SCSA Board on July 13, 2021. This Project is a public works project.

For purposes of this Section and Section 22300 of the Public Contract Code, the term “satisfactory completion of the contract” shall mean the time the Stadium Manager has issued written final acceptance of the Work and filed a Notice of Completion as required by law and provisions of this Contract. Contractor shall be the beneficial owner of any securities substituted for monies withheld and shall receive any interest thereon.

Such transferred title shall in each case be good, free and clear from any and all security interests, liens, or other encumbrances. Contractor promises and agrees that it will not pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise encumber the items in any manner that would result in any lien, security interest, charge, or claim upon or against said items.
Such transfer of title shall not imply acceptance by the Stadium Manager, nor relieve Contractor from the responsibility to strictly comply with the Contract and shall not relieve Contractor of responsibility for any loss of or damage to items.
3.7.8 Labor and Material Releases. Contractor shall furnish Stadium Manager with labor and material releases from all subcontractors performing work on, or furnishing materials for, the Work governed by this Contract prior to final payment by Stadium Manager.

Since the Services are being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and since the total compensation is $1,000 or more, Contractor agrees to fully comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws. Stadium Manager shall provide Contractor with a copy of the prevailing rates of per diem wages in effect at the commencement of this Contract upon request. Contractor shall make copies of the prevailing rates of per diem wages for each craft, classification or type of worker needed to execute the Services available to interested parties upon request and shall post copies at Contractor’s principal place of business and at the project site. Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold the Indemnified Parties (defined below) free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws.

The amount of the forfeiture is to be determined by the Labor Commissioner.

REPORT TO STADIUM AUTHORITY BOARD
SUBJECT
Report from the Stadium Authority for Action Regarding Stadium Manager’s Request to Award Agreement to Fluoresco Services, LLC for Replacement Wayfinding Signage and Maps at Levi’s Stadium (Updated Stadium Wayfinding Signage CapEx Project)
BOARD PILLAR
Ensure Compliance with Measure J and Manage Levi’s Stadium
BACKGROUND
On October 8, 2019, the Stadium Authority Board (Board) approved Ordinance No. 2005 amending Chapter 17.30 of the City Code (Stadium Authority Procurement Policy), which rescinded the delegation to the Executive Director to enter into agreements without prior Board approval. As result of Ordinance No. 2005, the Stadium Manager is also required to request Board approval before entering into agreements on behalf of the Stadium Authority. As of the effective date of the Ordinance (November 8, 2019), all Stadium Authority agreements for services, supplies, materials, and equipment require the approval of the Stadium Authority Board.
As the Stadium Manager, Forty Niners Stadium Management Company, LLC (ManCo), is responsible for maintaining “the Stadium in the Required Condition and operate the Stadium as a quality NFL and multi-purpose public sports, public assembly, exhibit and entertainment facility” as required by the Management Agreement between ManCo and the Stadium Authority.
The Stadium Manager is requesting approval for the following actions related to the Wayfinding Signage Capital Expense (CapEx) project:
1. Award a one-time agreement to Fluoresco Services, LLC in the amount of $112,486 to replace existing signage with new wayfinding signage and maps at Levi’s Stadium;
2. Authorize the Stadium Manager to execute any and all documents associated with, and necessary for the award, completion, and acceptance of this project; and
3. Authorize the Stadium Manager to execute change orders up to $11,249 for a total not to exceed construction agreement amount of $123,735.
The Stadium Authority Fiscal Year (FY) 2022/23 CapEx Budget includes $262,500 for the Updated Stadium Wayfinding Signage line item.
DISCUSSION
Stadium Authority staff reviewed the Stadium Manager’s Recommendation for Award memo, supporting documentation, and draft agreement (memo and draft agreement are attached to corresponding report #22-1440) for consistency against the Stadium Authority Procurement Policy City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 3 Printed on 12/2/2022
powered by Legistar™
22-1441 Agenda Date: 12/6/2022
and the City’s public works bidding process (City Charter Section 1310). The Stadium Manager’s Request for Bids (RFB) received three responses and the Stadium Manager is recommending award to the lowest bidder (Fluoresco Services, LLC).
The Updated Stadium Wayfinding Signage CapEx Project includes the following description: “Design, furnish and install new wayfinding and information signage to include, but not limited to, new premium/club wayfinding, suite wayfinding, smoking section signs, no smoking signs for around the main and upper concourses, section numbers/floor decals, ADA accessibility signs, Tunnel signs that ‘no photos/no autographs’, etc.” Not all of these sign categories were included in the RFB; however, the Stadium Manager has explained that they will not need any more funds for this particular project during this fiscal year.
Based on the documentation and information provided, staff recommends approval of the Stadium Manager’s request to award a one-time agreement to Fluoresco Service, LLC. In regard to the Stadium Manager’s request for authority to execute any and all documents related to the project and change orders be delegated instead to the Executive Director. Currently, the Executive Director has no procurement delegated authority under the Stadium Authority Procurement Policy. Approving staff’s recommendation to provide the Executive Director with such authority to approve execution of any and all documents related the project and change orders up to $11,249 accomplishes the expediency that the Stadium Manager seeks.
The Stadium Authority Counsel’s Office has reviewed the requested agreement for comparison to the Stadium Authority’s customary language. While there are some differences in the language, including portions covering compliance with laws such as prevailing wage and conflict of interest, the agreement submitted here for approval contains the necessary language which identifies these legal obligations to the vendor. The vendor expressly agrees to adhere to such obligations upon its execution of the agreement. Nothing in the proposed agreement changes the Stadium Authority’s rights under the Management Agreement and specifically with respect to any dispute that may arise from the Stadium Manager’s obligations under the Management Agreement.
In addition, per paragraph 4(b) of the Settlement Agreement, the Stadium Authority reserves all rights to confirm and dispute charges by and payments to the Stadium Manager during a fiscal year-end reconciliation/true-up, including but not limited to changes based on improper allocation, calculation, lack of support, or failure to comply with the Parties’ contracts or California law. The Stadium Authority may raise related questions before the fiscal year-end reconciliation/true-up, which the Stadium Manager agrees to assess and respond to in good faith.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(a) as it has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Stadium Authority FY 2022/23 CapEx Budget contains $262,500 for the Updated Stadium Wayfinding Signage line item. There are sufficient funds to cover the cost of the agreement ($112,486), a 10% contingency for change orders ($11,249) and the Stadium Manger’s RFB advertisement in the San Jose Mercury News ($285). On July 13, 2021, the Board approved the City of Santa Clara Page 2 of 3 Printed on 12/2/2022

22-1441 Agenda Date: 12/6/2022
award of purchase orders to San Jose Mercury News and Santa Clara Weekly for the Stadium Manager to publish legal notices for CapEx projects so that expense does not require further Board approval.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on FY 2021/22 Budget Year-End Report and Approve the Related Budget Amendments
COUNCIL PILLAR
Enhance Community Engagement and Transparency
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
To close out each fiscal year, a Budget Year-End Report is prepared that reconciles funds based on actual year-end performance and brings forward associated budget adjustments. This report includes changes to fund balances assumed in the development of the FY 2022/23 budget, other adjustments to account for needed changes resulting from actual year-end performance, and recommendations to allocate any additional fund balance above the amounts assumed in the budget or balancing actions if those fund balances drop below the levels assumed in the budget.
This report provides the year-end financial condition of the City of Santa Clara on a budgetary basis for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 and a summary of year-end performance for the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Enterprise Funds, Internal Service Funds, Debt Service Funds, and Capital Funds. The report includes the recommended approval of a limited number of FY 2021/22 budget amendments to address expenditure overages at year-end, FY 2022/23 budget amendments necessary based on the final FY 2021/22 results, capital project carryover adjustments, and the recommended allocation of the General Fund fund balance.
In FY 2021/22, the City’s revenue collections continued to be impacted by COVID-19, with the largest impact to the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenue category. This impact was assumed in the development of the budget and General Fund revenues slightly exceeded the budgeted estimate. To help address the General Fund budget challenges, cost controls remained in place, generating expenditure savings. Performance in other funds typically met expectations. Revenues and expenditures in the Electric Utility Fund exceeded the budget. Silicon Valley Power (SVP) had higher than anticipated sales that required additional market purchases. These market purchases incurred high rates due to an increase in natural gas prices which were two to three times higher than in 2021.
BACKGROUND
The budgetary year-end close process accounts for the year-end revenues and expenditures as well as the resulting ending reserves and fund balances for each budgeted fund. The funds are reconciled to the budgetary fund balances in the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR).
This report includes the following recommended budget adjustments:
1) required budget ratifications due to over-expended appropriations in FY 2021/22 (Attachment 1); and
City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 16 Printed on 12/2/2022
powered by Legistar™
22-14745 Agenda Date: 12/6/2022
2) FY 2022/23 budget actions, including reconciliations of carryover capital projects, grants, special revenue funds, and donation funds; revisions to the starting FY 2022/23 fund balances and reserves based on the actual FY 2021/22 year-end performance; and any other necessary adjustments (Attachment 2).
In addition to the budget actions, this report includes tables that summarize the performance of other funds (Attachment 3) and a summary of the fund balance adjustments in each fund (Attachment 4).
Section 1305 of the Charter of the City of Santa Clara, entitled 'Budget - Appropriations,' states that:
…from the effective date of the budget, the several amounts stated therein as proposed expenditures shall be and become appropriated to the several departments, offices and agencies for the respective objects and purposes therein named; all appropriations shall lapse at the end of the fiscal year to the extent that they shall not have been expended or lawfully encumbered; and at any meeting after the adoption of the budget, the City Council may amend or supplement the budget by motion adopted by the affirmative votes of at least five members so as to authorize the transfer of unused balances appropriated for one purpose to another purpose, or to appropriate available revenue not included in the budget.
Because appropriations lapse at the end of each fiscal year, it is necessary to carryover funds to complete capital projects and other projects and to account for grants and donations. Adjustments to the fund balance amounts assumed in the adopted budget are also necessary based on the actual prior year-end results. This includes the allocation of any additional fund balance above the amounts assumed in the budget or balancing actions if those fund balances drop below the levels assumed in the budget.
Each year as part of budget development and budget close-out, staff also reviews the reserve balances, including the General Fund Budget Stabilization Reserve and the Capital Projects Reserve as well as reserve levels in other funds. Per Council Policy, the Budget Stabilization Reserve target is set to cover operations for three months (25% of General Fund expenses) and the Capital Projects Reserve target is set at a minimum fund balance of $5.0 million in the long term. For the FY 2022/23 budget, the City Council approved a Budget Stabilization Reserve level of 15% as part of the budget balancing strategy.
DISCUSSION
This report includes a brief summary of budget to actual revenue and expenditure/ expense performance for the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Internal Service Funds, and Enterprise Funds.
Information is also included regarding the recommended budget amendments, the impact of FY 2021/22 performance on the General Fund Budget Stabilization Reserve, necessary ratifications to address FY 2021/22 expenditure overages, a summary of the unfunded retirement liability and Pension Stabilization Reserve, and the status of General Fund and other reserves.
General Fund
Overall, General Fund revenues slightly exceeded the budget while expenditures ended the year below budget in FY 2021/22. After the required adjustments to close out FY 2021/22, the General Fund ended the year with a surplus of $11.1 million.

General Fund Revenues
In FY 2021/22, actual revenues of $242.2 million were approximately $5.2 million (2.2%) above the budgeted estimate of $236.9 million as shown in Table 1 below. Revenues exceeded the budget in several categories, with the largest positive variances in the Property Tax, Silicon Valley Power (SVP) Transfer, Transient Occupancy Tax, and Licenses and Permits. These higher collections were partially offset by lower receipts primarily in the Sales Tax, Fines and Penalties, and Interest categories. It is important to note, however, that a portion of the higher revenues in the Licenses and Permits and Other Fees for Services categories will be allocated to the Advanced Planning Fee Reserve and the Technology Fee Reserve. In addition, the lower interest earnings category is due to losses in the Pension Trust Fund that will result in a reduction to the Pension Stabilization Reserve.

• Property Tax - the property tax category includes both secured and unsecured taxes. Proceeds from property taxes of $74.6 million were $3.1 million (4.2%) above the budgeted estimate of $71.6 million. This collection level was 8.5% above the FY 2020/21 level of $68.8 million. It is important to note that there is a legal challenge by the school districts on the distribution of the property tax related to the Education Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF) (under Proposition 98, a portion of property tax receipts are allocated to the ERAF beginning in 1992 and once there are sufficient funds in ERAF to fulfill the obligation to the school districts, excess funds are returned to the taxing entities that contributed the funding). As a result, a budget adjustment is recommended to set aside 30% of the excess ERAF FY 2021/22 collections ($1.7 million) in Non-Departmental to address this potential liability as estimated by the County of Santa Clara. • Sales Tax - The sales tax category, which includes general sales tax and public safety sales tax City of Santa Clara Page 3 of 16 Printed on 12/2/2022
powered by Legistar™
22-14745 Agenda Date: 12/6/2022
proceeds, totaled $56.9 million. This collection level was $1.3 million (2.2%) below the budgeted estimate of $58.2 million due to an 8.6% decline in the fourth quarter of FY 2021/22. This collection level was 1.3% above the FY 2020/21 level of $56.2 million and 2.9% above the FY 2019/20 level of $55.3 million.
• Transient Occupancy Tax - TOT receipts totaled $10.8 million in FY 2021/22, exceeding the budget estimate of $9.0 million and the FY 2020/21 collection level of $2.9 million. This collection level, however, remains 52% below the pre-COVID level of $22.5 million in FY 2018/19. • The Other Taxes category includes the franchise tax and documentary transfer tax. This revenue category ended the fiscal year at $7.0 million, which is $0.9 million (14.9%) above the revised budgeted estimate of $6.1 million due to higher documentary transfer tax receipts of $2.4 million that were $0.9 million above the budgeted estimate of $1.5 million, reflecting the strong real estate market in FY 2021/22. The franchise tax receipts ended at the budgeted estimate of $4.6 million.
• Licenses and Permits receipts totaled $4.7 million, which was $1.1 million above budgeted estimates due to advanced planning revenues of $1.5 million that had not been estimated in this category. These funds are recommended to be allocated to the Advanced Planning Reserve. The higher collections in this area were partially offset by lower than budgeted receipts in the busines licenses, fire permits, and parking permits categories. • Revenue from Other Agencies totaled $2.7 million, which was slightly above the budgeted estimate of $2.6 million. The majority of this revenue was generated from mutual aid reimbursements for services provided by the Fire Department. The FY 2021/22 Adopted Budget revenue estimate was significantly higher because it included the anticipated American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) federal stimulus funds that were shifted to a separate fund during FY 2021/22. • The Other Fees for Services category encompasses various fees and reimbursements, such as those collected for plan check and zoning, engineering, fire prevention, stadium activities, and recreational activities. In FY 2021/22, revenue in this category totaled $36.4 million, which was slightly below the final budget of $36.9 million but above the FY 2020/21 collection level of $35.2 million. Categories that exceeded the budgeted estimate include planning and zoning fees, the technology fee, fire construction permits and fire CUPA fees. The categories that fell below estimates include engineering fees, Fire Emergency Medical Services (EMS) reimbursements from the County, stadium reimbursements, and recreational fees. The higher Technology Fee revenue of $0.4 million is recommended to be placed in the Technology Fee Reserve. • Interest earnings ended the year at a net $828,000 and consisted of General Fund interest earning of $3.4 million, offset by a loss in investment earnings in the Pension Trust Fund of $2.5 million. The $2.5 million decline in the Pension Trust is reflected as a reduction to the Pension Stabilization Reserve. The General Fund interest earnings of $3.4 million exceeded the budgeted estimate of $2.6 million.
• Rent collections of $9.8 million came in slightly below the budgeted estimate of $10.0 million. The budget in this category included estimated revenue of $250,000 from the Related project, which was not received due to the timing of this project.

• Transfer from Silicon Valley Power (SVP) revenues are directly related to the revenues collected by the City’s Electric Utility Department. Per the City’s charter, SVP pays 5% of their gross cash revenues to the General Fund. Based on SVP’s actual cash revenue collections through June 30, 2022, the City’s General Fund received $27.3 million, which was $2.6 million above the budgeted estimate of $24.7 million and $2.7 million (11%) above the FY 2020/21 receipts of $24.5 million. • Transfers of $9.6 million were consistent with the budget.
General Fund Expenditures
In FY 2021/22, actual expenditures of $262.6 million were $14.2 million (5.1%) below the budget of $276.9 million as shown in Tables 2 and 3 below. Overall, departments ended the fiscal year below budget, reflecting the expenditure controls implemented due to COVID-19. The City implemented various cost savings strategies at the end of March 2020 that continued in FY 2021/22. These actions included a hiring freeze in addition to more controls across overtime, as-needed staffing, marketing, travel, and technology and vehicle purchases.
The detailed comparison of budget to actual expenditures are shown in Tables 2 and 3, with Table 2 showing the expenditures by department and Table 3 showing expenditures by category (e.g., salaries; materials, services and supplies; and transfers).
In evaluating the expenditures by department (Table 2), all departments remained within their General Fund budgets with the largest savings in the Non-Departmental, Parks & Recreation, and Police Departments.

When evaluating the expenditures by category as shown in Table 3, the personnel-related expenditures were $10.3 million below budget while the non-personnel expenditures were $3.9 million below budget.
Personnel expenditures totaled $161.5 million and ended the year $10.3 million, or 6.0%, below the budget of $171.8 million. This reflected salary savings of $5.8 million and benefits savings of $4.5 million generated from vacancies during the year. Non-Personnel expenditures totaled $101.2 million and ended the year $3.9 million, or 3.7%, below the budget of $105.1 million. The savings were generated in the Materials, Services and Supplies category. The FY 2022/23 Adopted Budget also included the carryover of unspent funds for the following: $150,000 in the Fire Department Community Risk Reduction Division for contractual services to support development services; $330,000 for Chamber of Commerce Small Business Assistance; $250,000 for the library strategic plan, $250,000 for the library facilities master plan, and $259,000 for library technology purchases.
Two additional carryovers are recommended in this report: a carryover of $100,000 for an organizational analysis of Information Technology services; and a carryover of $352,000 for Police contractual services due to delayed invoicing for the Axon Body Worn Cameras.
The Interfund Services category was slightly exceeded due to additional allocations to support workers’ compensation insurance invoices.

General Fund Budget Adjustments
As detailed in Attachment 2, a series of FY 2022/23 General Fund budget adjustments are recommended to:
• reconcile the fund balance and reserves to the FY 2021/22 ending fund balances; • allocate net savings (revenues less expenditures) to the Advanced Planning Fee Reserve ($1.5 million) and the Technology Fee Reserve ($0.5 million); • adjust the Capital Projects Reserve to account for the return of FY 2021/22 savings from capital funds for projects initially funded by the General Fund; • replenish the Land Sale Reserve ($4.2 million) that was used to offset additional labor costs associated with various bargaining unit agreements;
• actions necessary to close out FY 2021/22; and
• recommended use of $11.1 million in available fund balance from FY 2021/22 to address current year funding needs, to bring the Capital Projects Reserve to budget policy level of $5.0 million, to set aside funds to address a projected General Fund shortfall in FY 2023/24, and to fund Councildirected items.
These recommended budget adjustments will allocate the $19.8 million in additional General Fund fund balance at the end of FY 2021/22. These actions include required adjustments of $8.7 million to close out FY 2021/22 as well as additional recommended adjustments of $11.1 million as summarized below.

Attachment 2 includes the reconciliation of those project carryover true-up amounts based on actual year-end activity totaling a carryover reduction of $2.4 million. When combined with the capital project carryovers included in the FY 2022/23 budget adopted in June 2022, the capital project carryovers to FY 2022/23 total $166.8 million.

neither donations nor grants of $7.7 million are also included in Attachment 2.
Other Funds
Attachment 3 - Summary of Other Funds Performance summarizes budget to actual performance for the City’s Special Revenue Funds, Enterprise Funds, Internal Service Funds, Debt Service Funds, Other Agency Funds, and Capital Funds. By default, year-end savings in the other funds revert to fund balances or are re-appropriated to the next year’s budget through the recommended carryover of expenditures. Any recommended FY 2022/23 budget adjustments are included in Attachment 2 and a summary of the fund balance reconciliations is included in Attachment 4. Following are highlights of the FY 2021/22 performance of other City funds.
Special Revenue Funds
Special Revenue Funds are established to account for specific revenue sources that are legally restricted or committed to particular purposes. Following is a discussion of select Special Revenue Funds.
City Affordable Housing Fund
This fund promotes and facilitates the construction and retention of affordable housing and accounts for the City’s Below-Market Price Purchase (BMP) Program to assist low- and moderate-income families achieve the goal of homeownership. Revenues in this fund are received from developer inlieu fees, equity share, principal and interest repayments on housing loans, and interest income on pooled investments.
In FY 2021/22, revenues totaled $3.7 million, which was $2.9 million below the budgeted estimate of $6.7 million. Loan repayments came in higher than anticipated; however, these higher collections were offset by $6.0 million in revenue that was not received from a developer contribution for an affordable housing project that will construct 150 affordable housing units at 2302 Calle Del Mundo.
This developer contribution is requested to be carried over as the funds are still anticipated to be received.
FY 2021/22 expenditures and encumbrances of $6.2 million ended the year below the budget of $12.9 million by approximately $6.7 million. Of that unexpended amount, $6.0 million reflects a developer loan commitment for 2302 Calle Del Mundo, but was not disbursed due to the timing of project. As part of the agreement approved by the City Council on October 27, 2020, this loan commitment is no longer required as the developer will be covering these costs through the Developer equity contribution.
Based on actual FY 2021/22 revenues and expenditures, the ending fund balance ended the year $3.4 million above the estimate used to develop the FY 2022/23 Adopted Budget. These funds, which are not yet programmed, will be used to fund future affordable housing initiatives. As those opportunities arise during the year, staff will come forward with budget amendments to appropriate those funds.
Housing and Urban Development Fund
This fund accounts for entitlement funding that the City receives annually from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to administer and provide oversight of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) programs. In FY City of Santa Clara Page 9 of 16 Printed on 12/2/2022
powered by Legistar™
22-14745 Agenda Date: 12/6/2022
2021/22, revenues of $3.4 million ended the year $1.7 million below the budgeted estimate of $5.1 million due primarily to the timing of expenditures and payments. A revenue carryover of $2.1 million is recommended to account for funding committed by HUD, but not yet spent.
Expenditures and encumbrances of $4.0 million ended the year $1.5 million below the budget of $5.5 million. Most of the reduction in expenditures was a result of the Neighborhood Conservation and Improvement Program operating in a limited capacity. Staff expects FY 2022/23 to be more reflective of an average program year. The other unspent funds are already committed to various non -profit organizations to conduct activities such as tenant-based rental assistance, affordable rental housing, and multi-family rental assistance. As those non-profits continue to provide financial support to lower-income households, the City will be reimbursing those non-profit organizations and will ultimately be reimbursed by HUD for the cost of those services. Any funds not used in FY 2022/23 will be reprogramed in FY 2023/24 as a part of the Annual Action Plan process.
Housing Successor Agency Fund
This fund was established as Housing Successor to the former Redevelopment Agency (RDA) to retain all housing assets, rights, power, duties, obligations and functions previously performed by the RDA in administering its Low and Moderate-Income Housing Fund. The primary revenue sources are from principal and interest repayments on housing loans and interest on pooled investments.
Overall revenues of $6.5 million were $1.0 million above the budgeted estimate of $5.5 million due to higher loan repayments. Expenditures and encumbrances of $12.6 million, fell $5.4 million below the budget of $18.0 million, primarily due to a loan to affordable housing developments which were not disbursed in FY 2021/22. Delays in the development of this project has pushed back the disbursement of City funding. On February 2, 2019, the City Council approved a $5.0 million loan to the project located at 2904 Corvin Drive which is expected to provide 145 affordable housing units.
The carryover of $5.0 million for this project is recommended in this report as this project is expected to require funding during the current fiscal year.
Other City Departments Operating Grant Trust Fund
This fund accounts for various, citywide donations received by the City. Beginning in FY 2019/20, revenues and expenditures related to COVID-19 have been recorded in this fund. In FY 2021/22, revenues totaled $0.5 million, which reflects the budgeted transfer from the General Fund for additional COVID-19 related expenditures. Expenditures totaled $0.7 million, which was slightly below the budget of $0.8 million. Budget actions are recommended to carry over $25,000 to FY 2022/23 to close out the remaining COVID-19 related costs and to return $0.1 million of the unspent funds to the General Fund.
Internal Service Funds
Internal Service Funds are used to finance and account for special activities and services performed by a designated department for other departments in the City on a cost reimbursement basis.
Following is a discussion of select Internal Service Funds.
Special Liability Insurance Fund
This fund provides for the payment of insurance premiums on all City-owned property as well as property in the City’s care, custody or control, and property the City is contractually obligated to insure. The fund is also used to pay for insurance premiums for other lines of coverage, for litigation City of Santa Clara Page 10 of 16 Printed on 12/2/2022
powered by Legistar™
22-14745 Agenda Date: 12/6/2022
expenses, the City’s insurance deductible, and settlements or jury verdicts in litigation matters. The primary source of revenue for this fund is fees charged to citywide departments and contributions from City funds. In FY 2021/22, revenues totaled $7.7 million, which was above the budgeted estimate of $7.1 million due to reimbursements and third-party insurance proceeds. The transfer from the General Fund totaled $5.2 million as budgeted. Expenditures and encumbrances totaled $8.0 million, which was below the budget of $9.9 million.
Workers’ Compensation Fund
This fund accounts for the costs of premiums, claims administration, and claims expenses related to injuries or illnesses sustained by members of the City’s workforce. The source of revenue for this fund is fees charged to departments citywide. In FY 2021/22, revenues totaled $6.8 million, which was above the budgeted estimate of $5.7 million due to third party insurance proceeds. Expenditures totaled $5.1 million, which was below budget by $0.6 million due to lower than budgeted claims expenditures.
Unemployment Insurance Fund
This fund accounts for the cost of unemployment insurance claims. In FY 2021/22, actual expenses totaled $103,000, which was well below the prior year amount of $758,000 and the FY 2021/22 budget of $550,000. Historically, the source of revenue for this fund is fees charged to the departments citywide; however, in FY 2021/22, funding was also assumed from the State of California as part of COVID-19 relief measures to offset a portion of the claims costs. Revenues totaled $382,000, which was below the budget of $550,000 due to lower reimbursements from the State as a result of lower actual claims.
Enterprise Funds
Enterprise funds are used to finance and account for operations and activities performed by designated departments in the City or through third-party agreements. The operating revenues and expenses result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with an enterprise fund’s principal ongoing operations. Principal operating revenues of the City’s enterprise funds are charges to customers for services. Operating expenses for the City's enterprise funds include the costs of sales and services, administrative expenses and maintenance of capital assets.
Following is a discussion of select Enterprise Funds.
Convention Center Enterprise Fund
The Convention Center Enterprise Fund accounts for the operations of the City’s Convention Center through third-party agreements. The FY 2021/22 final budget reflects the operating budget of the concessions vendor, the operations management vendor, as well as the City. As of June 30, 2022, revenues of $10.4 million came in approximately $0.2 million above the budgeted estimate of $10.1 million, while expenditures and encumbrances of $9.7 million ended the year $1.7 million below the final budget of $11.4 million. The Convention Center performed significantly better than in FY 2020/21 as a result of the decreasing restrictions on large events. The FY 2021/22 unrestricted ending fund balance remained positive at $2.6 million, which was well above the estimated level of $1.2 million used to develop the FY 2022/23 budget.
Electric Utility Fund
The Electric Utility Fund accounts for the operation and maintenance of the City’s electric utility service. This fund receives majority of its revenues from user service charges collected from City of Santa Clara Page 11 of 16 Printed on 12/2/2022
powered by Legistar™
22-14745 Agenda Date: 12/6/2022
residential, commercial, and industrial customers.
In FY 2021/22, total revenues of $542.3 million were above the budget of $523.9 million by $18.4 million, primarily as a result of higher than estimated Customer Service Charges and Wholesale Revenue. Customer Service Charges totaled $499.8 million, reflecting an increase of 11.3% from the $449.2 million received in FY 2020/21; this revenue level was $12.0 million above the budget of $487.8 million. Wholesale revenues totaled $27.1 million, which exceeded the budgeted estimate of $19.9 million and the FY 2020/21 collection level of $19.1 million. When compared to the prior year, total revenues of $542.3 million were up $56.8 million, or 11.7%, from the $485.6 million received in FY 2020/21.
Expenditures, including encumbrances and transfers, of $555.1 million were $46.7 million above the budget of $508.4 million. This is attributed primarily to Resource and Production expenditures, which were $53.7 million over the budgeted amount of $353.5 million. SVP had higher than anticipated sales that required additional market purchases. These market purchases incurred high rates due to an increase of natural gas prices which were two to three times higher than the 2021 rates; natural gas prices experienced a significant increase starting January 2021 primarily due to the RussianUkrainian crisis that impacted supply. Additionally, Transmission Access Charges (TAC) rates from PG&E increased by 31.3% for Low Voltage (LV) and 29.2% for High Voltage. SVP incurs TAC for all power not generated from an SVP asset. A budget action is recommended in Attachment 1 to ratify the over expenditure.
The total unrestricted fund balance ended the year at $127.1 million, which was $14.3 million higher than estimated, resulting from a reduction in the Infrastructure Reserve.
Sewer Utility Fund
The Sewer Utility Fund accounts for the maintenance of the City’s sewer lines and related facilities.
These services are provided on a user charge basis to residences and businesses, which is the primary source of revenue for this fund. Revenue receipts totaled $54 million, which was $14.2 million above the revenue estimate of $39.8 million primarily due to the return of funding from the City of San José for the Regional Wastewater Facility capital project. This reflects the reconciliation of the City of Santa Clara’s share of the actual project costs from the prior year. Transfers from other funds totaled $0.2 million as budgeted. Actual expenditures, including encumbrances, and transfers to other funds totaled $36.0 million, ending the year $0.9 million below the final budget of $36.9 million. This is primarily due to vacancy savings and lower expenditures in the resource and production category.
The unrestricted ending fund balance and reserves totaled $47.7 million, up $15.1 million from the estimate used to develop the FY 2022/23 budget. Budget actions are recommended in Attachment 2 to use this excess fund balance, along with additional unrestricted fund balance, to fund a $32.5 million transfer from the Sewer Utility Fund to the Sewer Utility Capital Fund. This transfer is necessary to avoid a negative ending fund balance in the capital fund as a result of FY 2021/22 actuals. In the capital fund, the FY 2021/22 unrestricted fund balance ended the year below projected levels because debt proceeds were not received in FY 2021/22 and a technical adjustment was implemented to break out the restricted and unrestricted portions of the fund balance. Staff is evaluating the timing of debt issuance to address the sewer capital needs. With the recommended adjustments in Attachment 2, the unrestricted ending fund balance in the Sewer Utility Fund totals $13.5 million.

22-14745 Agenda Date: 12/6/2022
Solid Waste Fund
The Solid Waste Fund accounts for the operations of the City’s solid waste collection and disposal system. This fund receives the majority of its revenues from user service charges and other fees for street sweeping, household hazardous waste, and Clean-Up Campaign services. Total revenue of $34.5 million ended the year $0.7 million higher than the budgeted estimate of $33.8 million. This is attributable to higher collections in the Other Fees for Services category. Transfers from other funds totaled $33,600, from the General Fund for the rate assistance program. Total operating expenditures and encumbrances of $35.6 million were below the budget of $37.1 million by $1.6 million due to reduced resource and production and lower materials, supplies and services costs. Transfers to other funds totaled $0.3 million as budgeted. The unrestricted ending fund balance and reserves totaled $10.6 million, which was higher than the $8.4 million assumed in the budget.
Water Utility Fund
The Water Utility Fund accounts for the operation of the City’s water utility services. These services are provided on a user charge basis to residences and businesses, which is its primary source of revenue. As of June 30, 2022, actual revenue totaled $51.9 million, ending over the budgeted estimate of $49.7 million by $2.2 million. Actual expenditures, including encumbrances, and transfers to other funds were also lower than anticipated at $52.8 million, compared to the budget of $53.7 million. The expenditure savings are primarily due to vacancy savings and lower spending for operating supplies and contractual services.
The unrestricted ending fund balance and reserves totaled $10.9 million, which was slightly higher than the fund balance estimate used in the development of the FY 2022/23 Adopted Budget. A corresponding upward adjustment of $1.9 million to the FY 2022/23 beginning fund balance is included in this report.
Required FY 2021/22 Budget Ratifications
Based on the City Charter, the legal appropriation control is designated at the department or office level within a fund. In certain Internal Service and Special Revenue Funds, appropriations are allocated by function rather than departments or offices. In these funds, the appropriation control is at the fund level. Below the appropriation level are expenditure categories and line items. In many cases, actual expenditures may exceed the categories or line items within a department; however, savings from other categories and line items within the same department and fund may offset these overages (for example, savings due to staff vacancies may be offset by an increase in contractual services).
Attachment 1 - FY 2021/22 Budget Amendments includes a list of appropriations that exceeded the appropriation control authority and are recommended to be adjusted in order to meet the legal appropriation control limit. There were overages in 12 funds totaling $47.0 million, which were offset by available fund balance and revenues in all funds. Almost all of the overage ($46.7 million) was in the Electric Utility Fund due to higher resource and production costs that were offset by additional revenue and the use of unrestricted ending fund balance.
Retirement Liability
As summarized in Table 5, the Pension Stabilization Reserves in the various funds totaled $29.8 City of Santa Clara Page 13 of 16 Printed on 12/2/2022
powered by Legistar™
22-14745 Agenda Date: 12/6/2022
million at the end of FY 2021/22. The goal is to increase the reserve levels by 1% of the unfunded pension liability each year with a targeted level of 8% by the end of FY 2022/23. As of June 30, 2022, all funds, with the exception of the General Fund, are above the 8% target of the total unfunded liability. In total, reserve levels are projected at $30.9 million, or approximately 6.9% of the City’s net pension liability amount, based on the figures to be reported in the Consolidated Annual Financial Report GASB 68 Report. Historically, the General Fund contribution for the Pension Stabilization Reserve occurred through surplus funds available at the end of the year. Because limited additional funds are available and recommended to be reserved for FY 2023/24 budget balancing, a General Fund contribution to the reserve is not recommended at this time. Additional funds may be available in the future to allow for contributions to the reserve and/or planned for as part of the General Fund Forecast if capacity allows.

Overall, the selected reserves are relatively unchanged in FY 2022/23, increasing from $298.5 million to a proposed $300.3 million as shown in Table 6 below.
In the General Fund, the FY 2022/23 Adopted Budget assumed the use of the Budget Stabilization Reserve, Capital Projects Reserve, and Land Sale Reserve totaling $30.8 million. During FY 2022/23, an additional $4.3 million from the Land Sale Reserve was used to offset labor negotiation impacts, bringing the total reduction to these major General Fund reserves to $35.1 million. As part of the FY 2021/22 Year-End Report, budget actions are recommended to add $12.8 million to these General Fund reserves, resulting in a net reduction of $22.3 million in FY 2022/23.
The Pension Trust reserves reflect a net decrease due to investment earnings declines in FY 2021/22. The Utility Fund (Sewer, Solid Waste, Water and Water Recycling) operating and maintenance and rate stabilization reserves reflect a net increase of $0.5 million in FY 2022/23. The Electric Utility Fund operating and maintenance and rate stabilization reserves are up $26.1 million in FY 2022/23.

Charges for Services 12,024,047 This action recognizes additional revenue from Charges for Services to help offset the higher
expenditure costs (five affirmative Council votes
required to appropriate additional revenue).
Wholesale Revenue 6,375,029 This action recognizes additional revenue from Wholesale Revenue to help offset the higher
expenditure costs (five affirmative Council votes
required to appropriate additional revenue).
Resource and Production 46,742,143 This action increases the Resource and Production expense budget due to higher than
anticipated costs for purchased power. SVP had
higher than anticipated sales that required
additional market purchases. These market
purchases incurred high rates due to an increase
of natural gas prices which were two to three times
higher than natural gas prices in 2021.
Additionally, Transmission Access Charges (TAC)
rates from PG&E increased by 31.3% for Low
Voltage (LV) and 29.2% for High Voltage. SVP
incurs TAC for all power not generated from an
SVP asset. These two factors will continue to be
the main drivers increasing resource and
production costs for FY 2022/23. The FY 2022/23
Resource and Production budget factored in some
higher costs. SVP will monitor spend throughout
the year and will come forward for budgetary
actions as necessary (five affirmative Council
votes required for the use of unused
balances).
Unrestricted Ending Fund
Balance
(28,343,067) This action decreases the unrestricted ending fund balance to offset the action recommended above
