REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on the Award of Purchase Orders Greater than $250,000, with an Aggregate Amount of $4,275,000, for Vehicles and Equipment for the Fire, Silicon Valley Power, Public Works and Water and Sewer Utilities Departments to be Funded by Amounts Previously Approved in the Vehicle Replacement Fund in the City’s Operating Budget for Fiscal Year 2022/23.
COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
The Department of Public Works (DPW) maintains approximately 760 fleet assets citywide with an original acquisition value of approximately $45,000,000. In addition, DPW is responsible for purchasing replacement vehicles to support mission critical operations performed by City departments. DPW procures replacement vehicles through either cooperative purchase agreements established by another public agency (pursuant to Santa Clara City Code Section 2.105.270) or by conducting its own competitive solicitation utilizing vehicle specifications developed with the City departments (pursuant to Santa Clara City Code Section 2.140).
Section 2.105.300(a) of the Santa Clara City Code authorizes the City Manager to execute purchase orders and agreements on behalf of the City in amounts up to and including $250,000. Purchases of vehicles and equipment from a single vendor over $250,000 require approval by the City Council.
DISCUSSION
Vehicle purchase costs are included in the approved Fiscal Year 2022/23 budget and each department has confirmed the need to acquire them to either replace aged vehicles with increased maintenance costs or new demands. Purchase orders for the vehicles listed below need to be opened to secure the purchase price of each asset. Purchase prices for vehicles and equipment have significantly outpaced previous inflation projections so it is important to secure pricing quickly to avoid potential increases. Each will result in a purchase price of over $250,000 to specific vendors which requires City Council approval.
· Golden State Fire Apparatus: estimated purchase price of $2,141,000 - one tiller truck (Fire Department)
· Altec Industries, Inc.: estimated purchase price of $601,000 - one digger derrick (Silicon Valley Power) and $322,000 - one aerial bucket truck (DPW)
· MME Municipal Maintenance Equipment: estimated purchase price of $415,000 - one street sweeper (DPW)
· National Auto Fleet Group: estimated aggregate purchase price of $796,000 - two replacement City of Santa Clara Printed on 6/2/2023Page 1 of 2

crew trucks (Water & Sewer Utilities Department)
Approval of the recommendation will enable DPW to avoid any potential delays in procuring replacement vehicles. DPW will coordinate with the Purchasing Division to ensure that vehicle purchases are consistent with the City’s established purchasing policies.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(2) because the purchase of vehicles and equipment is not considered a project.
FISCAL IMPACT
The combined total to purchase the tiller truck, digger derrick, aerial bucket truck, street sweeper and two crew trucks is estimated to be $4,275,000. The funding for the purchase of these vehicles has already been approved in the FY 2022/23 Operating Budget Vehicle Replacement Fund. If approved by the City Council, funds may be encumbered or carried over into FY 2023/24 to complete the purchases.
COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Finance Department and the City Attorney’s Office.
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. A hard copy of any agenda report may be requested by contacting the City Clerk’s Office at (408) 615-2220, email [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute purchase orders in amounts greater than $250,000, at an aggregate amount of $4,275,000, with various vendors for the purchase of vehicles and equipment presented for the Fire, Silicon Valley Power, Public Works and Water and Sewer Utilities Departments, to be funded by amounts previously approved in the Vehicle Replacement Fund in the City’s Operating Budget for Fiscal Year 2022/23.

SUBJECT
Actions on Award of Contract for the 2023 Annual Street Pavement Maintenance and Rehabilitation Project (CE 23-24-01) to O’Grady Paving, Inc., Approve a Class 1 CEQA Categorical Exemption, and Related Budget Amendment
COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
The City’s street pavement network consists of approximately 610 lane miles of arterial, collector, residential, and local streets. Through the Pavement Maintenance Program, staff prioritizes various street segments for preventative maintenance and rehabilitation work based on condition, use, and available funding.
The 2023 Annual Street Pavement Maintenance and Rehabilitation Project (Project) consists of preventative maintenance and rehabilitation of approximately 22.3 lane miles of pavement along various street segments (Attachment 1). The scope of work includes: repair and replacement of asphalt pavement; placement of slurry seal; adjustment of utility valves and covers; construction of accessible concrete ramps in accordance with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA); replacement of traffic striping and pavement markings; and other necessary work to complete the Project.
DISCUSSION
In April 2023, a competitive Request for Bids (RFB) for construction of the Project was published on the City’s bid notification system, Periscope S2G. The RFB was viewed by over 50 vendors, which included contractors, suppliers, plan rooms, builder exchanges, and more. Beyond the contractors and suppliers who viewed the RFB through Periscope S2G, additional vendors were also able to view the RFB as members of various plan rooms and builder exchanges. In addition, staff also reached out directly to distribute the RFB to contractors and vendors who have previously viewed similar projects in the past.
On May 11, 2023, the bid opening for the Project was held via video conference. Two bids were received ranging from $2,526,640 to $2,600,502. The Bid Summary is included as Attachment 2.
The lowest bid, submitted by O’Grady Paving, Inc. (O’Grady) in the amount of $ 2,526,640, is 10 percent below the Engineer’s Estimate of $2,811,500.
O’Grady’s bid was reviewed by the Department of Public Works (DPW) and the City Attorney’s Office for compliance with the terms and conditions of the bid documents and has been determined to be the lowest responsive and responsible bid. Staff recommends awarding the construction contract to City of Santa Clara Printed on 6/2/2023Page 1 of 3

23-526 Agenda Date: 6/6/2023
O’Grady Paving, Inc.
The award of contract will allow construction to commence in order to complete the pavement work during the summer and fall of 2023. The contract includes prevailing wage requirements.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This project being considered is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15301(c), “Existing Facilities,” as the activity consists of the repair, maintenance or minor alteration of existing facilities involving no or negligible expansion of the use beyond that presently existing, and specifically includes the repair of existing highways and streets.
FISCAL IMPACT
The approximate cost of the contract is $2,526,640, plus a 10 percent contingency, or $252,664, for any potential change orders for a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $2,779,304.
Funding for the contract is available in the Annual Street Maintenance and Rehabilitation Program project in the Streets and Highways Capital Fund. In addition, staff recommends transferring $50,700 from the Water Utility Fund and $50,700 from the Sewer Utility Fund to the Annual Street Maintenance and Rehabilitation Program project for the portion of the project costs associated with those funds. This Project involves removing and replacing water valve boxes and adjusting sanitary sewer manhole covers.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on the Fourth Amendment to the Contract Between the County of Santa Clara and City of Santa Clara - Congregate Meals for FY 2022/23, including the Home and Community Based Services Infrastructure Grant, and Related Budget Amendments
COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clara works collaboratively with the County of Santa Clara to provide a Senior Nutrition Congregate Meals Program (Program) at the Santa Clara Senior Center. The Program targets seniors aged 60 and over, serving a basic need of lower income households and special needs populations. The Program goals are to reduce hunger and food insecurity, increase socialization, and promote the health and well-being of older adults. The Program is a gateway to other supportive community programs and services at the Senior Center.
The purpose of this Report to Council is to review and take action on a 4 th amendment to an
agreement with the County of Santa Clara related to the Senior Nutrition Congregate Meals Program (Program) at the Santa Clara Senior Center. The amendment includes an increase in the number of meals for the current fiscal year as well as a pass through of State of California Department of Aging grant funds obtained by the County from the local Area Agency on Aging Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Senior Nutrition Infrastructure Grant to reimburse the County’s Programs for the purchase of designated eligible items to enhance the food service.
DISCUSSION
The County of Santa Clara has an agreement with the City of Santa Clara to provide a Congregate Meals Program at the Santa Clara Senior Center, and annually/periodically/retroactively has issued amendments and/or new agreement(s) to supplement the Program based on available funding sources or to provide service level enhancements (Table 1). Actual amounts have varied over the course of the extended Contract periods.
On August 20, 2019, (RTC19-796) Council authorized the City Manager to approve an agreement effective July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, including four one-year extension options (Attachment 1). This provided an average of sixty-three (63) hot meals per day (249 days per year) for a total of 15,687 annual meals for eligible seniors and disabled individuals. Program expenditures, subject to the provisions of the contract, were in an amount not to exceed $111,221. In general, the City’s contribution to the program includes annual funding in the amount of approximately $24,000 from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, $3,445 from the General Fund, variable amounts of participant donations, and a volunteer match of 8-12 hours per day provided by 2 meal City of Santa Clara Printed on 6/2/2023Page 1 of 4

On June 23, 2020, (RTC20-506) Council authorized the City Manager to execute the First Amendment to the Contract with the County for the Program which extended the term through June 30, 2021 (Attachment 2). This increased annual meals by 2,498 for a total of 17,112 meals per year and increased the contract for a total not to exceed $129,631.65 in FY2019-2020 and budgeted $110,774.16 for FY2020-2021, for a total Contract not to exceed $240,405.81.
On March 8, 2022, (RTC22-182) Council authorized the City Manager to execute the Second Amendment to the Contract with the County for the Program which extended the agreement through June 30, 2022 (Attachment 3). This provided 69 meals per day for a total of 17,112 per year and increased the contract in an amount not to exceed $121,324.08 in FY2021-2022, for a total Contract not to exceed $361,729.89.
On June 21, 2022 (RTC22-796) Council authorized the City Manager to execute an agreement with the County for COVID-19 Emergency Meals served from January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022 (Attachment 4). The agreement provided additional funding in the amount of $56,000 only for FY 2021/22 to serve 40 additional meals average per day, increasing the total average from 69 to 109 meals per day, for an additional total of 5,000 meals to address continued pandemic impacts and food insecurity among greater numbers of eligible seniors.
Also on June 21, 2022, (RTC22-554) Council authorized the City Manager to execute a Third Amendment (Attachment 5) to the agreement with the County for the Program to provide $124,917.60 in FY2022/23 for a total not to exceed $486,647.49 to provide 69 meals per day on average for a total of 17,112 meals per year.
On June 6, 2023, Council will consider the County’s May 4, 2023 proposed Fourth Amendment (Attachment 6) to the Contract to provide additional County funding in the amount of $10,862.40, for a not-to-exceed amount of $135,780 in FY 2022/23 and a total not-to-exceed amount of $497,509.89.
This would add 1,488 meals to the City contract, increasing the daily average from 69 to 75 meals.
The City has consistently served more seniors on average over the course of the year than originally budgeted. The following table provides an overview of the original contract and subsequent adjustments.

23-652 Agenda Date: 6/6/2023
The Fourth Amendment also includes a Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Infrastructure Improvement pass through grant in the amount of $27,022.
In the Spring of 2021, Meals on Wheels submitted an Advocacy Proposal to the State Legislature to support capacity and infrastructure improvement grants to senior nutrition programs. This resulted in $38 million in Statewide HCBS Senior Nutrition Infrastructure Funding under the Mello-Granlund Older Californians Act.
The City is being awarded a reimbursement grant in the amount of $27,022 for the purchase of qualified equipment (Exhibit C-5.1) approved by Sourcewise and the California Department of Aging for the City of Santa Clara Senior Center Program. This equipment includes: a two-door reach-in refrigerator, a roll-in refrigerator, a cold food drop in unit, a hot food drop in well unit, and a milk cooler. If the grant is accepted, the City will use existing available Program balance funds to complete the purchase and seek reimbursement afterward in accordance with the terms of the proposed amendment.
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(b)(5) in that it is a governmental organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect changes in the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City’s Senior Nutrition Program revenues and appropriations have been included in the FY 2022/23 Operating Budget in the Parks and Recreation Operating Grant Trust Fund. The City pays $24,000 from Community Development Block Grant funds and 3,445, from the General Fund. The City also receives donations. The County funds the remaining cost of the program on a reimbursement basis. The requested budget amendments will increase the current FY 2022/23 budget appropriation by $10,862 and recognize and appropriate the HCBS grant of $27,022. The City has sufficient Program fund balance to complete the purchase prior to receipt of the reimbursement.

20. CARE ACCESS ERROR RA TE REQUIREMENT
Federal regulations pursuant to Title Ill of the Older Americans Act of 1965 (OM) establish procedures for allocating money to states for various senior services. States have established allocation mechanisms to award monies to their Area Agencies on Aging (AM). These AMs in tum, award monies via contracts or grants to carry out the mission of the OM.
Sourcewise, the County of Santa Clara's designated AM, allocates money for the provision of the Congregate Meals Program by reimbursing the County based on the number of meals served seniors each month. This data Is tracked through Sourcewise's Care Access Database. When there is a discrepancy between the paper total (signatures of SNP participants) and scanner total (scanned barcodes of SNP participants), an error rate arises. Currently, if the total combined error rate of all Senior Nutrition Meat Sites exceeds five percent (5%), the County will not be reimbursed by Sourcewise. Therefore, CONTRACTOR's data that is imported into Sourcewise's Care Access Database must not exceed an error rate of 5%.
If CONTRACTOR's imported data exceeds an error rate of 5%, COUNTY will withhold a percentage of CONTRACTOR's invoice equivalent to the percentage of the error rate exceeding the 5% threshold. For example, if CONlRACTOR has an error rate of 23%, COUNTY will withhold 18% (23% - 5%) of CONTRACTOR's invoice for that month.
Should Sourcewise decide to reimburse the County regardless of the combined error rate of all Senior Nutrition Meal Sites, then the County will not withhold any percentage of CONTRACTOR's invoice regardless of CONTRACTOR's error rate for that month.

20. CARE ACCESS ERROR RATE REQUIREMENT
Federal regulations pursuant to Title III of the Older Americans Act of 1965 (OAA) establish procedures for allocating money to states for various senior services. States have established allocation mechanisms to award monies to their Area Agencies on Aging (AAA). These AAAs in turn, award monies via contracts or grants to carry out the mission of the OAA.
Sourcewise, the County of Santa Clara’s designated AAA, allocates money for the provision of the Congregate Meals Program by reimbursing the County based on the number of meals served to seniors each month. This data is tracked through Sourcewise’s Care Access Database. When there is a discrepancy between the paper total (signatures of SNP participants) and scanner total (scanned barcodes of SNP participants), an error rate arises. Currently, if the total combined error rate of all Senior Nutrition Meal Sites exceeds five percent (5%), the County will not be reimbursed by Sourcewise. Therefore, CONTRACTOR’s data that is imported into Sourcewise’s Care Access Database must not exceed an error rate of 5%.
If CONTRACTOR’s imported data exceeds an error rate of 5%, COUNTY will withhold a percentage of CONTRACTOR’s invoice equivalent to the percentage of the error rate exceeding the 5% threshold. For example, if CONTRACTOR has an error rate of 23%, COUNTY will withhold 18% (23% - 5%) of CONTRACTOR’s invoice for that month.
Exhibit B-1: Program Plan & Requirements
First Amendment to the Contract between the County of Santa Clara Social Services Agency and City of Santa Clara
FY2020
Should Sourcewise decide to reimburse the County regardless of the combined error rate of all Senior Nutrition Meal Sites, then the County will not withhold any percentage of CONTRACTOR’s invoice regardless of CONTRACTOR’s error rate for that month.
21. GRIEVANCE POLICY
a. CONTRACTOR must establish a written grievance process for reviewing and attempting to resolve complaints of older individuals receiving services funded by this Contract which complies with Sourcewise’s requirements and the Older Americans Act, Section 315(b)(4). At a minimum, the process shall include all of the following:
i. Time frames within which a complaint will be acted upon. ii. Written notification to the compla inant of the results of the review, including a statement that the complainant may appeal to Sourcewise if dissatisfied with the results of CONTRACTOR’s review.
iii. Confidentiality provisions to protect the complainant’s rights to privacy.
Only information relevant to the complaint may be released to the responding party without the older individual’s consent. b. CONTRACTOR shall notify older individuals of the grievance process available to them by:
i. Posting notification of the process in visible and accessible areas, such as the bulletin boards in multipurpose senior centers or areas in which there are a substantial number of older adults. For individuals are non-English speaking, the notification shall also be posted in the primary language of a significant number of older individuals.
ii. Advising homebound older individuals of the process either orally or in writing upon CONTRACTOR’s contact with the individuals. c. Complaints may involve, but not be limited to, any or all of the following:

ii. Denial or discontinuance of a service.
iii. Dissatisfaction with the service being provided or with the service provider.

iv. Failure of the service provider to comply with any of the requirements set forth in California Department of Aging regulations or in your contract with Sourcewise.
d.

Notify Sourcewise in writing within ten working days after statement has been issues to complainant detailing the complaint, resolution and a copy of the statement sent to complainant. The address for mailing is 3100 De La Cruz Blvd., Suite 310, Santa Clara, CA, 95054.

Provide nutritious meals, opportunities to socialize, transportation, and resources to older adults across Santa Clara County.
Lack of food access,

social isolation are pervasive
issues among the older adult
community. In order to meet
the needs of this community
services need to include
ethnically diverse cuisine

proximity to low-income
neighborhoods, innovative
service models that bring the
food to the people,
transportation options, and
additional safety net
resources. These services
are a vital component to
keeping people healthy and
living independently.
By June 30, 2021, at least 75% of eligible older adult
congregate meal participants will have participated in at least one other service offered at the meal site.

20. CARE ACCESS ERROR RATE REQUIREMENT
Federal regulations pursuant to Title III of the Older Americans Act of 1965 (OAA) establish procedures for allocating money to states for various senior services. States have established allocation mechanisms to award monies to their Area Agencies on Aging (AAA). These AAAs in turn, award monies via contracts or grants to carry out the mission of the OAA.
Sourcewise, the County of Santa Clara’s designated AAA, allocates money for the provision of the Congregate Meals Program by reimbursing the County based on the number of meals served to seniors each month. This data is tracked through Sourcewise’s Care Access Database. When there is a discrepancy between the paper total (signatures of SNP participants) and scanner total (scanned barcodes of SNP participants), an error rate arises. Currently, if the total combined error rate of all Senior Nutrition Meal Sites exceeds five percent (5%), the County will not be reimbursed by Sourcewise. Therefore, CONTRACTOR’s data that is imported into Sourcewise’s Care Access Database must not exceed an error rate of 5%.
If CONTRACTOR’s imported data exceeds an error rate of 5%, COUNTY will withhold a percentage of CONTRACTOR’s invoice equivalent to the percentage of the error rate exceeding the 5% threshold. For example, if CONTRACTOR has an error rate of 23%, COUNTY will withhold 18% (23% - 5%) of CONTRACTOR’s invoice for that month.
Should Sourcewise decide to reimburse the County regardless of the combined error rate of all Senior Nutrition Meal Sites, then the County will not withhold any percentage of CONTRACTOR’s invoice regardless of CONTRACTOR’s error rate for that month.

At a minimum, the process shall include all of the following:

Provide training to meal site
volunteers on food safety topics. 12 6 Volunteer Trainings Congregate Meals
Provide nutritious meals, opportunities to socialize, transportation, and resources to older adults across Santa Clara County.
Lack of food access,
financial instability, and
social isolation are pervasive
issues among the older adult
community. In order to meet
the needs of this community
services need to include
ethnically diverse cuisine
served in locations in
proximity to low-income
neighborhoods, innovative
service models that bring the
food to the people,
transportation options, and
additional safety net
resources. These services
are a vital component to
keeping people healthy and
living independently.
By June 30, 2022, at least 75% of eligible older adult
congregate meal participants will have participated in at least one other service offered at the meal site.
