SUBJECT
Actions on Award of Contract for the 2023 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Curb Ramps Project to Villalobos & Associates, Inc., and Related Budget Amendments
COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
The 2023 ADA Curb Ramps Project (Project) consists of constructing Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant curb ramps at 12 intersections (Attachment 1). The scope of work includes demolishing existing concrete, making slight modifications to adjacent surfaces to accommodate the new curb ramps, updating traffic striping and pavement markings, and other necessary work to complete the Project.
The installation of ADA curb ramps continues the City’s efforts to enhance accessibility in the public right-of-way for those with disabilities. The locations where curb ramps will be installed include locations requested by the public.
The Project is funded through a combination of Transportation Development Act Article 3 (TDA 3) funds and the City’s General Fund. In May 2022, Council approved filing an application for allocation of TDA 3 funding for FY 2022/23 for use towards construction of curb ramps, and in September 2022, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) approved the allocation. In February 2023, Council appropriated TDA 3 funding in the amount of $309,078 and established the Citywide Priority Curb Ramp project in the Capital Improvement Program budget.
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 37 vendors on Periscope S2G, 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, bids for the Project were opened via video conference. The City received seven bids from Villalobos & Associates, Inc., SBV Concrete Inc. (dba Valley Concrete), ASG Builders, JJR Construction, Inc., Sposeto Engineering, Inc., FBD Vanguard Construction, Inc., and Wattis Construction Company ranging from $470,733 to $689,864. The Bid Summary is included as Attachment 2.

23-525 Agenda Date: 6/27/2023
The lowest bid was submitted by Villalobos & Associates, Inc. (Villalobos) in the amount of $470,733, which is 6 percent below the Engineer’s Estimate of $500,860. Villalobo’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 contract to Villalobos & Associates, Inc.
Award of the contract will allow construction to commence in order to complete the curb ramps during late summer and fall 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 $470,733, plus a 10 percent contingency of $47,073 for any potential change orders, for a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $517,806.
Transportation Development Act Article 3 (TDA 3) funding in the amount of $309,078 is available in the Citywide Priority Curb Ramp project (CIP 1287) in the Streets and Highways Capital Fund for the contract. Staff recommends transferring $207,228 from the Annual Curb Ramp Installation project (CIP 1250) in the Streets and Highways Capital Fund to the Citywide Priority Curb Ramp Project for the remaining funding necessary for the award of contract. The Annual Curb Ramp Installation project is supported by the General Fund Capital Projects Reserve and is to be used to replace existing curb ramps that do not comply with current ADA guidelines and/or the installation of new curb ramps to remove barriers for accessibility in the public right-of-way.
In addition, staff recommends transferring $1,500 from the Water Utility Capital Fund to the Citywide Priority Curb Ramp project for the portion of the project costs associated with those funds based on the bid. The removal and replacement of water valve boxes is part of the work necessary for installing the curb ramps.

SUBJECT
Action on Award of Contract for the Westwood Oaks Park Playground Rehabilitation Project to Robert A. Bothman Construction and Related Budget Amendments
COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure Enhance Community Sports, Recreational and Arts Assets
BACKGROUND
Westwood Oaks Park is located at 460 La Herran Drive and is bounded by residential homes on three sides except for eastside park frontage on La Herran Drive. The Park was constructed in 1961 and since then has been operating without any major improvements. The 2018 Kitchell Facility Condition Assessment Report identified existing playground and site amenities as in critical condition and in need of rehabilitation.
On July 6, 2021, City Council approved an Agreement with Gates and Associates Architecture, Inc. (Gates) for the first phase of the Westwood Oaks Park Playground Rehabilitation (Project), which included conducting a detailed site and facility condition assessment, technology needs assessment, ADA evaluation, community outreach, and preparing an overall site specific plan and schematic design for the playground rehabilitation. On April 19, 2022, City Council approved the Westwood Oaks Park Master Plan Update, the playground schematic design, and Measure R Ordinance as well as Amendment No. 1 to the agreement with Gates to complete the second phase of the Project. The efforts provided by Gates include preparing bid documents (plans, specifications, and engineer’s estimate - PS&E) for public works bidding, assisting with obtaining necessary permits, and providing engineering support services during bid and construction.
The Project as approved generally consists of improvements such as landscaping and irrigation, a half-size basketball court, site furnishings, lighting, utilities, a concrete loop path, and new/expanded accessible age-appropriate play areas.
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 64 vendors, including contractors, suppliers, plan rooms, and builder exchanges, among others. Additional vendors were able to view the RFB as members of various plan rooms and builder exchanges. Staff also reached out directly to contractors and vendors who had viewed similar past projects.
On May 18, 2023, bids for the Project were opened via video conference. Four bids were received ranging from $2,767,000 to $3,667,777. The Bid Summary is included as Attachment 1. The lowest City of Santa Clara Printed on 6/22/2023Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™
23-588 Agenda Date: 6/27/2023
bid was submitted by Robert A. Bothman Construction (“Bothman”) in the amount of $2,767,000.
Bothman’s bid was reviewed by staff for compliance with the terms and conditions of the bid documents and has been determined to be a responsive and responsible bid. Staff recommends awarding the construction contract to Robert A. Bothman Construction.
Award of contract will enable construction of the Project to commence with substantial completion anticipated in fall 2024. The date may be subject to change based on, if any, unforeseen conditions are discovered during construction. The contract includes prevailing wage requirements.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to the following sections of the CEQA Guidelines:
· Section 15302 (Class 2 - Replacement or Reconstruction): The project would replace and reconstruct existing facilities on the same site and with substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced.
· Section 15303 (Class 3 - New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures): The project will construct limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures and equipment. The proposal would expand the existing playground area by approximately 6,600 square feet and put new playground equipment in the existing park.
· Section 15304 (Class 4 - Minor Alterations to Land), and 15304(b) (Class 4(b) - replacement of existing landscaping with water efficient landscaping): The project would make minor alterations in the condition of land, water and/or vegetation which do not involve the removal of healthy, mature scenic trees, and would include the replacement of existing conventional landscaping with water efficient landscaping. The proposal would remove the unhealthy eucalyptus trees and entry trees that have structural issues and replace them with drought- tolerant species.
FISCAL IMPACT
The approximate cost of the contract is $2,767,000, plus a 15 percent contingency of $415,050 for any potential change orders, for a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $3,182,050. Staff recommends including the 15 percent contingency to cover any potential unforeseen issues that may arise when working with existing park infrastructure.
Partial funding of $1,833,384 is available in the Westwood Oaks Park Playground Rehabilitation project in the Parks Capital Fund. Staff recommends a budget amendment to increase the project budget by $1,421,000 from Mitigation Fee Act funds, for a total budget of $3,254,384. The amendment includes the remaining amount needed to fully fund the construction contract and approximately $72,000 for other miscellaneous project costs, such as permitting, printing, and special inspection.

SUBJECT
Action on Award of Purchase Orders for Citywide As-Needed Interior and Exterior Painting Services
COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
The Department of Public Works (DPW) has the responsibility of maintaining and repairing approximately 1,100,000 square feet of buildings located throughout the City. To effectively handle the workload required for maintaining these facilities, DPW utilizes vendors to provide assistance with various services. One such service that is contracted out is as-needed interior and exterior painting services at various locations, including City Hall, Santa Clara Convention Center, Old Courthouse, Police Building, Central Library, Northside Library, Senior Center, and Fire Stations.
DISCUSSION
Pursuant to City Code Section 2.105.140(c), a formal Request for Bids (RFB) was conducted as the solicitation method for this procurement with award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder (s). The RFB allowed the City to make multiple awards at its sole discretion if determined to be in the City’s best interest.
On April 6, 2023, staff published RFB# 22-23-76 for As-Needed Interior and Exterior Painting Services on the City’s e-procurement system. Three bids were received by the deadline. The table below represents DPW’s estimated annual total, which is calculated by multiplying the hourly rates submitted by the vendors by the estimated annual usage (in hours).
Bidder Estimated Annual Total
Armstrong Painting, Inc. $148,870.00
Fairway Painting $167,455.50
Aiden’s Quality Painting, Inc. $184,050.00
Staff is recommending primary award to Armstrong Painting, Inc. as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. In addition, staff is recommending award to Fairway Painting and Aiden’s Quality Painting, Inc. in the event that Armstrong Painting is unavailable. By having multiple vendors, DPW can prevent any potential delays if Armstrong Painting is unavailable due to scheduling conflicts, staff shortages, or an increase in workload.
The compensation under each Purchase Order will be on a time and materials basis. The rates will be fixed for the initial one-year term. After the initial term, price adjustments will be considered if City of Santa Clara Printed on 6/22/2023Page 1 of 2
powered by Legistar™
23-677 Agenda Date: 6/27/2023
properly substantiated by the vendors and approved by the City. In addition, there are four one-year options to extend the term of the Purchase Orders for a total of five years, assuming all options are exercised.
The vendors will provide a range of painting services including touch-up work to update offices, walls, and ceilings, as well as supporting larger projects at the Police Department building, the Convention Center garage, and historic properties managed by DPW.
Prevailing wages will be paid under these purchase orders.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered is exempt for the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15301 “Existing Facilities” as the activity consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities mechanical equipment or topographical features involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agencies determination.
FISCAL IMPACT
The amount to be paid to the contractors over the initial one-year term shall not exceed $200,000.
The estimated cost of as-needed services is based on an estimate of past years’ expenditures and future planned projects. The majority of costs will be charged to the relevant departments and their respective funding sources based on the locations where the services are rendered. Sufficient budget is available to fund anticipated painting services in FY 2023/24. Costs beyond FY 2023/24 are subject to appropriation of funds by the City Council.
COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Finance Department and the City Attorney’s Office.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Actions on a Density Bonus Agreement (DBA) with Santa Clara Pacific Associates to Allow a Multifamily Housing Development with 198 Affordable Rental Units at 80 Saratoga Avenue and Delegation of Authority to the City Manager to Negotiate and Execute Future DBAs in Accordance with Santa Clara City Code Section 18.78.060.
COUNCIL PILLAR
Promote and Enhance Economic, Housing and Transportation Development.
BACKGROUND
Santa Clara Pacific Associates (Owner/Developer) is proposing to construct a 100% affordable housing project with two hundred (200) units located at 80 Saratoga Avenue (Project). On September 14, 2022, an architectural review of the Project’s six-story mixed-use development was approved at the Development Review Hearing.
The project is a 100 percent affordable housing development with 200 dwelling units which will include four floor plans types consisting of studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom units ranging from 416 square feet to 1,047 square feet in size. Affordability is determined based on the ability of households to pay rent depending upon household income level as a percentage of the average median income (AMI) for the County, with adjustments made for household size. Of the units, 198 units are to be provided to low income households earning no more than 80% of the AMI, and two are unrestricted on-site resident manager units.
As a condition of the land use entitlements and per the City’s Affordable Housing Ordinance’s (AHO) affordable housing requirements, a share of all newly constructed dwelling units in residential developments of ten (10) or more units must provide at least fifteen percent (15%) of the units at affordable housing costs made available at affordable rental prices to for extremely low, very low, low and moderate income households as long as the distribution of affordable units averages to a maximum of one hundred percent (100%) of area median income. The Developer is required to enter into an Affordable Housing Agreement (AHA) with the City to designate the Project’s total AHO obligation of 30 units prior to the issuance of building permits.
Additionally, the Project was approved under the State Density Bonus Law in which the City has established the Density Bonus Ordinance (DBO) in accordance with California Government Code Section 65915 et seq, as amended. The DBO, grants a density bonus and regulatory concessions and/or incentives when a developer seeks and agrees to provide a minimum number of housing units with affordable rents to very low or lower income households. The Developer is required to enter into a Density Bonus Housing Agreement (DBA) prior to issuance of building permits. Attachment 1 includes a copy of the proposed DBA.

23-732 Agenda Date: 6/27/2023
DISCUSSION
Density Bonus Agreement for 80 Saratoga Avenue Affordable Housing Project The proposed DBA for 80 Saratoga Avenue is consistent with the income level pursuant to the standards of the DBO, and also satisfies the applicable provisions of the City’s AHO. Approval of the proposed DBA will add much needed affordable housing to the City without any City subsidy. The project will rely on low income housing tax credits, tax exempt bonds, and higher density to subsidize rents.
Density Bonus Agreement Approval Process
The Housing and Community Services Division processes several DBAs each year for rental housing developments. Staff has developed standardized templates working with City Attorney’s office. Staff recommends delegating authority to the City Manager to execute and amend DBAs that are consistent with the requirements per the Santa Clara City Code Section 18.78.060, subject to final review and approval as to form by the Office of the City Attorney. All projects not in conformance to the Density Bonus Ordinance would continue to be brought to the City Council for approval.
On December 6, 2022, the City Council approved a similar request and delegated authority to the City Manager to execute or amend affordable housing agreements in accordance with the provisions of SCCC Chapter 17.40 subject to final review and approval of such agreements by the Office of the City Attorney. Delegating authority to the City Manager to execute form agreement will help streamline the review and approval process.
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. DBA Projects that comply with Senate Bill 35 and objective standards are ministerial and therefore are not subject to CEQA review.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City for processing the requested application other than administrative time and expense typically covered by processing fees paid by the applicant.
COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the City Attorney’s Office.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on Amendment No. 1 with PFM Asset Management LLC for Investment Management Services
COUNCIL PILLAR
Manage Strategically Our Workforce Capacity and Resources
BACKGROUND
In July 2020, the City Council approved an agreement with PFM Asset Management LLC (PFMAM) to provide investment advisory and portfolio management services after a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process. The initial term of the agreement is three years ending on July 31, 2023, plus two option years for a total of five years if all options are exercised.
Under the agreement, PFMAM serves as the City’s external investment manager for a pooled portfolio with a value of $847 million as of March 31, 2023. Of this amount, approximately $69 million is invested with the State’s Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and California Asset Management Program (CAMP) to meet the City’s liquidity needs. PFMAM provides investment advice on City’s overall portfolio strategy and actively manages a core securities portfolio.
Prior to engagement of PFMAM, the City’s portfolio was internally managed and staff conservatively invested City funds mainly in Treasury and Government Agency Notes due to limited capacity and resources. Under PFMAM, the portfolio has diversified into other allowable investments, in accordance with applicable California State Codes, with higher yield potential, such as corporate notes, asset-backed securities, and municipal notes.
Under PFMAM’s management, the City’s core securities portfolio has generated over $30 million in interest earnings with total returns outperforming the ICE BofAML 1-5 Year U.S. Treasury Index, City’s benchmark, by 20 basis points.
DISCUSSION
PFMAM was contracted by the City as part of an investment strategy transition from an internally managed portfolio that was 100% allocated to federal government-issued U.S. Treasuries and Federal Agency Securities, to one that leverages the expertise of a professional firm to diversify the City’s portfolio and expand yield, where possible. It has taken a good portion of the original three- year initial term to transition the City’s portfolio to one that is diversified in risk, balanced, and maximizes yield.
Staff is requesting authority to extend the initial term by five years to July 31, 2028, plus two option years for a total of 10 years if all options are exercised. Because the current agreement contains two one-year options with increasing fees, staff negotiated with PFMAM to keep pricing the same, with City of Santa Clara Printed on 6/22/2023Page 1 of 4

23-481 Agenda Date: 6/27/2023
the potential to add another year to the contract. The proposed Amendment No. 1 will enable the City to take advantage of a competitive fee schedule and realize total savings of $30,000 in years 4 and 5 when compared to the original agreement. Further, the amendment will allow the continuity and efficiency of keeping PFMAM for additional time, while continuing to enhance yields and total returns for the City’s portfolio.
In proposed Amendment No.1, the fee basis points (bps) has been reduced from 5.2 bps to 4.9 bps after the initial term and held at 4.9 bps for the remainder of the agreement, including optional years.
The maximum annual fee will increase from $305,000 to $325,000 and be capped at $325,000 for the next five years, which provides the City with price stability. The proposed fee cap increase is commensurate with recent inflation figures and is below the $340,000 level that was in the included in the original option years. The fee cap is subject to an annual Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) in optional years 9 and 10, based on Consumer Price Index, with the COLA capped at 3.64% per annum. Staff compared the fees and fee cap to several Bay Area local agencies with comparable portfolios managed by external investment managers to confirm City’s favorable terms.
The proposed compensation is detailed below:

Action on Amendment No. 4 with Wallace Roberts and Todd, LLC (WRT) to Add Two Study Cities to the City Hall Relocation Study and Related Budget Amendment
COUNCIL PILLAR
Promote and Enhance Economic, Housing, and Transportation Development
BACKGROUND
The City is nearing the completion of a planning effort to prepare a Downtown Precise Plan and Form Based Code to guide the redevelopment of the City’s former Downtown area. The scope of work for the Downtown Precise Plan was expanded in response to a petition from Reclaiming our Downtown (ROD) to include a financial analysis of the costs and benefits (City Hall Relocation Study) associated with moving the City Hall to the Downtown. The City Council made this addition to the scope of work for the City’s consultant, WRT, at the May 24, 2022 Council meeting, following Council consideration of a written petition submitted by resident Mary Grizzle on behalf of ROD. In June 2022, the City Council subsequently approved the allocation of funds for the requested Study through the budget process, and then on October 18, 2022, the City Council took actions to allow for the commencement of the scope of work by WRT on the City Hall Relocation Study.
The City Hall Relocation Study scope included an evaluation of six other cities as a comparative case study. WRT, in conjunction with subconsultants, analyzed 18 example sites and recommended six sites (Long Beach Civic Center, Watsonville City’s Hall, Sonoma County Government Center, Malden Massachusetts’ City Hall, Redwood City’s City Hall, and Mountain View’s City Hall) for further analysis to provide insight into the potential costs and benefits of locating a city hall in a similar Downtown context. Staff reviewed the proposed sites and WRT presented the six sites to the Downtown Community Task Force (DCTF) on March 14, 2023.
A second written petition submitted by resident Mary Grizzle on behalf of the members of ROD was heard at the May 23, 2023 City Council meeting. The petition stated that while ROD agreed with four of the cities presented at the March 14, 2023 Downtown Community Task Force meeting, they are deeply concerned that two of the cities (Watsonville and Sonoma) do not meet ROD’s criteria nor the spirit of the study, and should be replaced with Winter Garden, Florida and Sandusky, Ohio.
DISCUSSION
As of the date of this staff report, the City Hall Relocation Study is approximately 50% complete. The full scope of work is attached to this report as Attachment 2 for reference. Listed below are the tasks from the approved scope of work with the status of each task indicated. · Project Initiation - (task completed)
City of Santa Clara Printed on 6/22/2023Page 1 of 4
powered by Legistar™
23-759 Agenda Date: 6/27/2023
o conduct targeted background research and mapping needed to understand the existing Civic Center site and previous studies.
· Program Confirmation - (task completed)
o review of provided documentation related to projected civic center spatial needs and document a high-level spatial program organized by department according to data provided.
· Economic Assessment - (task completed)
o identify up to six examples of City Hall relocation projects across the United States to serve as case studies. The Team will seek examples (successful and otherwise) that are comparable to Santa Clara and/or the downtown site (e.g., similar City population; site adjacency to transit, university, or historic neighborhood) that have a range of outcomes, including examples with more and less resulting investment. For each case study, the Team will conduct research to understand each city hall project including contacting each city to seek an interview with staff about the project, including benefits, challenges, and lessons learned, and report on outcomes, including the degree to which private investment has followed public investment. o Complete an illustrative economic impact analysis that considers potential localized spending effects on downtown from a new City Hall, as compared to the baseline site use (a comparably sized future office building).
· Criteria and Site Comparison - (task completed)
o conduct a criteria-based process for evaluating potential Downtown sites for a relocated City Hall. The outcome of this process will be the creation of a qualitative evaluation matrix followed by City Staff and Task Force confirmation of a preferred downtown site for a relocated City Hall.
· Concept Testing and Test-Fitting - (task in progress) o develop up to three conceptual approaches to relocating city hall downtown on the preferred downtown site. And, for the existing civic center site, WRT will estimate development capacity based on density formulas and informed by typical building forms, which will inform the economic evaluation of potential relocation. · Financial Evaluation - (task in progress)
o perform a financial analysis to assess the concepts for relocating City Hall and offices to downtown.
· Concept Refinement - (task upcoming)
o based on City and DCTF feedback, and informed by the financial analysis, the Team will refine land use and building block concepts for Downtown and the existing Civic Center site.
· Final Options Report - (task upcoming)
o document the final site concepts and economic analysis in a concise report, with narrative, graphics, and relevant tables.
While a substantive portion of the City Hall Relocation Study scope has been completed, the site comparison analysis has not been finalized and it would be possible to add two additional sites for the full analysis without significant cost or additional time required. It should also be noted that approximately $10,000 of contingency remains within the original WRT contract for preparation of the Precise Plan and Form-Based Code. However, this contingency needs to be maintained in case there are additional costs to completion the CEQA analysis or other elements of the original scope of City of Santa Clara Printed on 6/22/2023Page 2 of 4

work.
Staff is accordingly requesting that the City Council grant approval to the City Manager to amend the City’s contract with WRT to add two study cities, Winter Garden, Florida and Sandusky, Ohio, to the approved scope, which would fall under the Economic Assessment task. The cost for the added study cities is $16,000. This would be Amendment No. 4 to the contract and will maintain the three- year term extension option provided in the Original Agreement, with a termination date of December 31, 2024.
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 original scope of work for the City Hall relocation study was estimated at $353,360. This project was established in the General Government Capital Fund and was funded as part of the FY 2022/23 and FY 2023/24 Capital Improvement Program budget adoption, with $325,000 appropriated from the General Fund. The remaining $28,360 was transferred by Silicon Valley Power’s Electric Yard Buildings and Grounds project budget for facility assessment of buildings occupied by SVP, which was approved by the City Council on October 18, 2022.
The current proposed scope of work has a cost of $16,000 which is recommended to be funded from the General Fund’s Budget Stabilization Reserve. The table below summarizes the budget action for FY 2023/24, which is subject to the approval of the FY 2023/24 and FY 2024/25 operating budget.

Re: Additional Case Study Evaluation
CC : Jim Stickley, Principal, WRT
WRT and our subconsultant partner s are working close ly with City Staff and the Downtown Community Task Force on a Civic Center Relocation Study to consider the potenti al costs and benefits of shifting city functions to Downtown Santa Clara. The City has requested that WRT propose a scope and fee for conducting two additional case studies of comparable city hall relocation projects around the U.S.
The WRT Team's original budg et for the case studies subtask was $17,290 . Each member of our Team used considerably more time than we budget ed for to complete the case studies. Based on this experience, we request a fee of $16,000 to comp lete two additional studies. This would include $6,000 for EPS and $5,000 each for WRT and PFAL.
EPS's portion of this effort cou ld be shifted from their remaining budget of $11,400 in Task 5. This budget was provided for up to 40 hours of Principal-level as-needed proje ct support . If this approach is taken, the need for additional budget would be reduced to $10,000 . The add itional proposed scope of work is summarized on the following page .

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on the Award of Agreement to Wallace Roberts & Todd, LLC for Downtown Precise Plan Consultant Services and Related Budget Amendment
BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clara’s 2010-2035 General Plan identifies focus areas throughout the City, including the Downtown area, to promote the City’s diverse economic base and meet the demand for housing that addresses job growth in the City and region.
In August 2015, the Santa Clara City Council adopted a Strategic Objective to evaluate a Santa Clara Downtown/Super Block project. The City then hired an urban design consultant to help facilitate a series of workshops and meetings between October 2015 and November 2017, which were used to gather community input on a vision for the Downtown area’s future development. Through this process the community identified several objectives for the redevelopment of the Downtown area as a vibrant, pedestrian-oriented destination. The restoration of Franklin Street as a public right-of-way open to vehicular traffic was identified as a primary objective.
The possibility of revitalizing the City’s historic Downtown area has engaged City community members, including organizations such as Reclaiming Our Downtown and the Old Quad Resident’s Association. In response to community interest, the City Council approved the Biennial 2018/19 and 2019/20 Capital Improvement Program Budget that includes $400,000 to support the preparation of a Precise Plan that will provide guidance for new development within the Downtown area through policies, guidelines, and illustrations that implement the community vision and objectives for a vibrant, pedestrian-oriented destination. As part of this effort, the City requires a consultant to assist in the preparation of the Precise Plan.
DISCUSSION
In February 2019, the City issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Downtown Precise Plan Consultant Services, using the City’s e-procurement system. A total of 75 companies viewed the RFQ and the City received proposals from four companies by the March 25, 2019 deadline:
· Dyett & Bhatia Urban & Regional Planners (Oakland, CA) · Lisa Wise Consulting, Inc. (San Francisco, CA)
· M. Arthur Gensler, Jr. & Associates dba Gensler (Los Angeles, CA) · Wallace Roberts & Todd, LLC (San Francisco, CA)

Scope of Work Summary:
The Consultant shall work closely with the City and Downtown Community Task Force in the development of the Precise Plan. The Plan process shall include periodic check-ins with the City Council to report on community and Task Force input, and to receive Council feedback at key milestones in the planning process such as the completion of the market assessment; the proposed vision scenarios; and the preferred land use plan. Preparation of the Plan is anticipated to require approximately 18 months and includes the following key work program elements. · Analysis of existing conditions;
· Development of a public outreach strategy for the planning process; · Analysis of potential market demand for housing, commercial, office, and mixed-use development in the Precise Plan area;
· Development of three (3) long-term vision scenarios that represent the planned build out of the Plan area including, land use and development intensities, multi-modal connectivity improvements, open space plans, and streetscape and public space improvements; · Analysis of the economic feasibility of each land use scenario, along with a summary of community input, to inform the selection of a preferred scenario; · Design guidelines that build upon the City’s existing General Plan design policies, as well as the information gathered during the community outreach activities; and · The Precise Plan document, including the preferred land use scenario.
The unanimous selection of the Consultant by the evaluation team reflects the expertise the Consultant demonstrated in areas reflective of the work program, including the preparation of downtown plans, conducting community engagement, real estate economics, and form-based codes and other zoning tools.
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
Funds in the amount of $400,000 were allocated for the development of a Downtown Precise Plan, including the Franklin Street restoration, in the CIP budget (CIP 539-6559). From this budget, $90,000 was spent on a non-refundable deposit for an option on the acquisition of the Franklin Street Right-of-Way easement.
The Consultant’s proposal for the scope of work requested by the City has a cost of $452,371.
Additionally, the Consultant’s proposed optional tasks total $125,975. The combined total cost of the Consultant’s services is $578,346. Currently the available budget amounts to $310,000. Therefore, staff is requesting that funds in the amount of $268,346 be allocated from the Advanced Planning Reserve to cover the total cost of the Agreement.

DCTF-Requested Additional
Services
The Downtown planning process has reached an exciting stage where the shape of the future downtown is coming into focus and excitement is building to create something that is a true reflection of this unique community. The Task Force and City are showing leadership in starting to think pro-actively about the next steps towards implementation and making sure that those steps lead to the best possible outcomes for a successful downtown.
At DCTF direction, the Consultant team described ten potential tasks that could augment and strengthen the Precise Plan. The Task Force considered these options, and decided to recommend five of these for additional City funding. On April 6, City Council asked for the Task Force and Staff to return with more a more detailed proposal for these scope items:
• Form-based Code
• Sign Ordinance for Downtown
• Area Development Impact Fee Program
• Project Design Review (1-2)
• Additional DCTF Meeting (1 -2)
Subsequently, DCTF also requested that an additional task, "Downtown Management Entity," be included.
These additional services are presented here; the form-based code and sign ordinance are presented as one combined effort. The total Consultant fee for these proposed tasks is $251,600, including labor and reimbursable costs . The tasks are expected to be completed within a ?-month WRT, LLC I 478 Tehama Street, Suite 2B I San Francisco, CA 94103 James Stickley CA LA-4251 rtdesign .com I 415,575.4722 John Gibbs CA LA-4417

timeframe. We recommend these scope items can proceed as soon as funding is available, and all will benefit from occurring in tandem with the Precise Plan itself. It is not essential for outcomes of these tasks to be included in the Precise Plan. However, we do recommend that the Task Force make themselves comfortable with the level of oversight needed for tasks running concurrently, to allow the Task Force to be fully involved in each part of the process . A project schedule showing the potential alignment between existing and proposed scope items is included as an attachment.

1. FORM-BASED ZONING CODE
May 10, 2021
Page I 3
David Sargent Town Planning (DSTP) and WRT will collaborate with the Downtown Community Task Force (DCTF) and the City in preparing a form-based development code for the Plan area . Such a code could be adopted as part of the Precise Plan document, or could be adopted as new form based zones that are integrated into the City's municipal code.
One advantage of adopting the standards as new form-based zones is that if one or more of the zones proved useful in other parts of town - for instance in some segments of El Camino Real - that zone could simply be applied to that area with a zoning map amendment.
We attach for reference the most recent Code we have prepared, for a plan in Claremont that has many characteristics in common with the SCDPP area. The area is around 20 acres and the Plan seeks to make "more downtown" on a more or less vacant site that is adjacent to low-density residential neighborhoods . The Code we propose to make for Santa Clara would be similar to this code in many ways, but of course customized as necessary to implement the intentions of the SCDPP, and integrated with Santa Clara's policy and regulatory framework.
The document will be prepared using Adobe lnDesign and delivered in PDF format. We strongly recommend that the Code be published on line as a PDF and not disassembled to be hosted on an online publishing platform (like Municode or Code Publishing). We have a lot of experience with this, and unless these services have made significant advancements in their technology in the past year, the way they organize codes as running text and occasional pictures renders a form-based code nearly unusable. The state of the art is still simply having a link wherever the municipal code is hosted that connects to a web server (likely the City's website) where the PDF is viewable and downloadable as a competently formatted document.
The DSTP/WRTTeam ("the Team") proposes to organize this work into the following tasks :
Task 1.1: Project Initiation and Scope Confirmation
MEMORANDUM
May 10, 2021
1.1 a - Kick-off Meeting: To initiate this phase of work, the T earn will meet with City staff to confirm major tasks and deliverables, discuss overall schedule, establish communication protocols between DSTP, WRT, City Staff and the DCTF, and discuss/confirm any other relevant administrative protocols needed to progress this work efficiently.
1.1b - Vision Confirmation: The Team will work collaboratively with the DCTF and City staff to refine and confirm the vision for the SCDPP Area (Plan Area); as it relates to street types, public space types, building massing schemes, frontage types, and parking configurations. We are confident that this effort can be integrated seamlessly into the ongoing Precise Plan work. We believe that the rigor and organized decision making required to build the framework for such a Code will be very helpful clarifying the range of possibilities for each block, street, and open space in terms of the height, use, massing, and frontage character of new development.
As shown in the proposed budget (attached), the Team anticipates that Task 1 would occur in three iterations, including calls with City staff and then meetings with the DCTF at the end of each iteration. It will be very important to reach consensus with the DCTF at this stage, confirming the vision and agreeing upon regulatory parameters and typologies. We also suggest that the Committee's role in subsequent tasks/stages of Code preparation be diminishing from task to task, as the work from here forward shifts from the general vision to the making of a rather technical document to communicate that vision and those intentions to design professionals and ensure its realization.
We strongly recommend that this task commence as soon as practical, and run concurrently with the confirmation of the Vision and Plan in the Precise Plan.
1.1c - Code Format/Technique Confirmation: Concurrently with Task 1.2, and based on our other recent code work, DSTP will prepare style sheets and a Code outline for review by WRT and City staff. DSTP will conduct meetings with WRT and City staff. Topics addressed will include the structure, content and format of the Code, the schedule for coordination with the Plan and EIR, and the method by which it would be adopted.
DSTP often also prepares Design Guidelines that are coordinated and integrated with but distinct from the Code, addressing topics that are better addressed with parameters and clear intentions rather than hard numerical standards. Decisions regarding which topics would be so addressed, and
MEMORANDUM
May 10, 2021
Page j 5
in what degree of detail will be important in this task. This should be presented to the DCTF only at a high level, not in detail for their input. Keeping the standard/guideline distinction clear is also helpful in meeting new State requirements for Objective Design Standards .
As the DCTF has shown interest in a Sign Ordinance for Downtown, we propose that such standards and guidelines be included in the Code, as is our standard practice (see the attached Claremont Code). Rather than incorporating sign standards and guidelines for Downtown into the City's existing sign ordinance, we recommend that succinct language be added to the existing ordinance which states that the Downtown Code supersedes any City-wide standards for properties within the Downtown Plan Area.
We strongly recommend that Task 1.1 - and also Task 1.2 if possible - be completed prior to, or concurrently with, the finalization of the Project Description for the EIR, for reasons described in the Rationale for Concurrent Plan and Code Preparation section below.
1.1 d - Scope Confirmation/ Adjustments: Based on direction confirmed in Tasks 1. 1 b and 1.1 c, DSTP, WRT and City Staff would agree upon any necessary adjustments to the overall scope, schedule, and budget, which would be finalized (as/if needed) by an amendment to this proposed scope and fee.
Task 1.2: Code Preparation & Adoption
1.2a -Administrative Draft Code Preparation: Based on the confirmed vision and form parameters from Task 1, and decisions regarding code structure and format and method of adoption in Task 1.1, DSTP will prepare a first administrative Draft Code. DSTP will be in close touch with WRT and City staff as we prepare and calibrate the Draft Code, and will submit it to WRT and City staff concurrently. DSTP will make revisions as requested by WRT and the City based on their review. The Draft Code can also be presented to the DCTF, but we recommend they not be asked to provide detailed comments on the techniques of the Code.
After City staff have had the chance to review the Draft Code in detail, we recommend a working session of 2 or 3 hours in which we can engage a number of staff to review the process by which projects will be evaluated in relation to the Code .
MEMORANDUM
May 10, 2021
Page I 6
At a time agreed upon with City staff, WRT and the DCTF, STP will prepare for and help to lead a community workshop in which the intent, structure and standards of the Draft Code will be presented for questions and comments and community input. The PowerPoint presentation prepared for this workshop will weave together the community vision and preferred alternative as documented in the ongoing Precise Plan process, and focus on how the Code will help to ensure that new private development and public realm improvements are well-coordinated, designed and calibrated to deliver that vision, one project at a time.
We suggest that this Workshop might also be, perhaps, a Planning Commission Study Session, perhaps jointly with the DCTF and/or City Council rather that simply a community workshop. Such sessions can be more effective if chaired by the Mayor or Planning Commission Chair rather than led only by City staff and consultants. STP attendance at the workshop is expected to be virtual rather than in-person.
1.2b - Public Review Draft Code Preparation: Based on the comments received from WRT and City staff, DSTP will refine and complete the Draft Code, so that it may be available for public review concurrently with the Precise Plan and EIR. We will deliver a "Screencheck Draft" to WRT and City staff and make minor refinements or corrections prior to its release for public review.
If requested, the T earn will participate in a Planning Commission workshop or joint Commission/Council study session to present the Code and answer questions. DSTP will then make a final round of refinements to the Code based on public and decision-maker input and City staff direction.
At a time agreed upon with City staff, WRT and the DCTF, STP will prepare for and help to lead a community workshop in which the Public Review Draft Code will be presented for questions and comments and community input. We suggest that a joint study session of the City Council and Planning Commission could be a good format for this Workshop. STP attendance at the workshop is expected to be virtual rather than in-person.
1.2c - Code Adoptjon: The Team will participate in one Planning Commission and one City Council hearing to assist City staff in presenting the Plan and Code. DSTP will make final minor revisions to the Code in response to comments and deliver the final document in PDF format- a high-resolution file for double-sided color printing and a hyperlinked web-ready file of the spreads.
MEMORANDUM
May 10, 2021
If the City determines to adopt the new zones (we anticipate one to three zones, depending on decisions reached in Task 2) within the Santa Clara Municipal Code (SCMC) it is likely that some City staff time will be required to complete the integration of procedures and general standards with other section of the SCMC.
Potential Reimbursable Expenses
Due to the uncertainty of travel during this time, we assume that attendance at meetings and workshops will be virtual rather than in-person. As/if travel protocols change during the course of this work, and physical attendance is requested, we provide an estimated cost-per-trip (for travel and lodging) which are not included in the base budget.
Proposed Professional Fees
We propose to provide the services outlined above on a time and materials basis, per the estimates shown on the attached spreadsheet. We will not exceed those fees without providing the City with advance notice in writing of the potential for additional time and fees, and an explanation of the reasons such appear likely. The time required for preparation of the Code is quite predictable based on our extensive experience, but the time required for meetings with City staff, the DCTF and others is much less pr~dictable . And it has been our observation to date that the ratio of meeting time to plan preparation in this situation is quite high. Our fee proposal is intended as a "realistic/efficient" process projection, not a "worst case" estimate.
More could be provided if necessary and public health conditions permitting, at an additional cost.
We will bill such expenses at our actual cost with no administrative markup.
Rationale for Concurrent Plan and Code Preparation
DSTP strongly recommends that the Code be prepared concurrently with the completion of the Plan.
To do otherwise, based on many years of experience in this area, would be at the least to miss an opportunity, and could also add significantly to the time and cost while significantly reducing the quality of the documents and confusing City staff, DCTF, and the public.
MEMORANDUM
May 10, 2021
Page I 8
Listed below are the top few advantages of preparing the Plan and Code concurrently, iteratively, and collaboratively.
Support the Precise Plan Completion: The process of breaking down the "vision" that we have been sneaking up on for so long into a system (a.k.a., Plan and Code) could be greatly helped by helping the City and DCTF in thinking of the Plan as a "kit of parts" from which the once and future downtown should be made. And those "parts" are of course typological - building/massing types, street types, frontage types, use types, parking configurations, etc. - not "predesigned buildings." That is what making a code is all about. We always describe the process as "reverse engineering the vision into a kit of parts, and a process for assembling them into a place." That is what needs to be done, now, even just to finish clarifying the vision for the Plan, and might as well also be used to establish the Code also.
Support Predictability and Cohesion: The process of making a code compels all parties to consider the options, and to make choices that rule certain things in, rule certain things out, and clarify the range of potential outcomes within which they'd be happy, and outside of which they would not be.
Most general and many specific plans in California have for far too long stopped at the fuzzy "vision" level, which then leaves it up to each person's own imagination what those nice words might mean - " neighborhood scale", "sustainable", "high quality design", etc. (Except for the things that can be easily quantified, like building height, setbacks, FAR, DUA, see below.) So then in some later discretionary review process, whoever happens to be the director or on the Planning Commission or City Council makes decisions based on what those words mean to them at that time in that context.
The result is a very unpredictable process that discourages highly qualified developers, adds time and cost to the process, and yields inconsistent results, such that two buildings which were each deemed "ok, let's approve it" next door to one another just look odd next to one another.
Avoid "Planning Fatigue": The precise plan process has been underway for a long time already. If it were brought to a conclusion without the Code, the process of gaining consensus on the Code would seem to most like deja vu all over again. All the same topics would be re-covered, bringing up all the same concerns, requiring all the same decisions to be made, and leading to a lot more DCTF meetings rehashing the same things and perhaps second-guessing some, leading to amendments to the new Plan.
MEMORANDUM
May 10, 2021
Page I 9
Avoid Conflicting Metrics/Environmental Analyses: As I mentioned to Jim - and to Manuel and Andrew as well when they wanted to speak with me - regulation by building form is not the same thing as regulating by FAR and DUA. And as is so clear from all the DCTF discussions to date, what the committee is most concerned about- and appropriately so - is the form and character of the blocks, buildings , and streets . The form-based code is a tool that operates directly on what they care about the most. FAR and DUA are very useful metrics at the general plan level, or even at a large specific plan level for CEQA analysis. But at the scale of the building and the block they are worse than useless . For instance:
• A 4 and 5-story mixed-use project on a 2-acre site (a 300 x 300 foot block) might yield 150,000 gross square feet of habitable building area. That would be an FAR of about 1.7. • If the ground floor (which would be smaller in usable area than upper floors due to parking) were 15,000. S.f., the non-residential FAR would be 0.10. And if the remaining 135,000 s.f. were housing, and the average gross square feet per dwelling were 1,000 s.f. parked at 1.75 spaces per unit that would be 135 units with 236 parking spaces and 67 .5 DUA. • If the exact same building and parking were organized with smaller units at 700 g.s.f. per unit, that would be 193 units parked at a ratio of 1.22 spaces per unit, and 96.5 DUA. • It would be reasonable to anticipate that the number of residents in the smaller unit scenario would be about the same in both cases, with the same number of cars. And very likely LESS traffic generated, as the smaller units with less parking per unit would tend to attract a demographic more interested in using transit and active transportation and enjoying a pedestrian-oriented urban lifestyle.
• In our plans and codes we do NOT regulate by DUA. The EIR project descriptions are based on well-reasoned assumptions regarding average DUA and numbers of units . The Plans sometimes stipulate a cap on total units in the district- which if exceeded at some point might require further CEQA review- but the standards do not regulate by DUA per building or per block. They regulate by building size, scale, massing, form, use , and frontage, which is what we've been discussing with the DCTF for so long. • The specific intention of a Plan for a downtown is to "pack as much development as possible into a compact area without making a mess." Whereas all the plans they have made for decades intend to spread development out to avoid localized "congestion", under the suburban/CEQA assumption that "the solution to pollution is dilution".
WRT MEMORANDUM
May 10, 2021
Page I 10
Regulation by DUA is very good at that, and that is what has sprawled cities out over the region and is killing the planet.
Of course, we know that you understand these metrics and principles as well as or better than we do, and we're focusing here on the linkage between these metrics as they may be present in the Plan and the EIR, and the development standards. Our concern is that if the Precise Plan and EIR were completed ahead of the Code work- regulating "density" by DUA as most suburban cities do - and then we came in suggesting that it be regulated by building mass and volume, it could cause great concern and consume large amounts of time and political capital. And might very well require amending the EIR or arbitrarily limiting DUA, as many people would assume such a change was to let developers "get away with something." If fact, if you limit DUA, what you get is large units, which may or may not foster the housing catering to urbanites who want to use transit and local businesses more and drive less.

2. PRECISE PLAN FINANCING ANALYSIS
This task will provide the analytic basis for identifying the appropriate financing strategy and implementation tools for the Precise Plan. The key subtasks are described below.
Task 2.1 Infrastructure Needs Analysis
May 10, 2021
Page I 11
The WRT team will identify the backbone utility and transportation infrastructure plan to accommodate buildout of the Plan Area and associated costs. The analysis will also determine the nexus between infrastructure improvements and planned development in the event that infrastructure improvements address an existing deficiency or new demand from growth outside the plan area. The work will build off the infrastructure program developed in the Precise Plan and will introduce new, more detailed infrastructure needs and cost analysis, The WRT team will interview Public Works and Utility Agency representatives as needed to verify planned capital improvement projects that will be necessary to support development in the plan area .1 The first step in this task, to be led by WRT, will be to refine the development plan to establish land use mix and density for each block in the Precise Plan area. This may require setting a low and high range by use type to account for land use flexibility. This will serve as the basis for establishing transportation and utility demands . WRT will also refine the conceptual design of planned streets to a level that will allow reasonable cost estimation.
To establish transportation needs, Kimley-Horn will:
(1) Identify roadway and traffic improvements necessary for the site based on the recommendations of the Precise Plan
(2} Prepare a cost estimate for each roadway improvement. This will include:
1 The budget estimate assumes regional utility studies and modeling, utility design, surveying, and plan production are not included in this scope.
MEMORANDUM
May 10, 2021
Page I 12
• Estimating the number of AM peak hour, PM peak hour, and daily trips to be generated by the proposed project. A trip distribution and trip assignment for the use will be estimated based on information provided by the City, historical traffic counts in the area.
• Determining the background volume at intersections and for roadway segments being improved.
(3) Develop Fair Share calculations for each improvement project identified. This will include:
• Calculating the fair share proportion for the project based on the number of daily vehicle trips that utilize the future intersection. This will be calculated based on the approach specified by the City in their Impact Fee Nexus Study- Fair share % = project trips/(background + project trips).
• Determining the fair share cost estimate using the fair share percentage by the total project cost.
(4) Prepare a technical memorandum for preliminary review. The draft memorandum will include text, charts, and figures describing our process, assumptions, and results. The memorandum will specifically detail impacts directly connected with project traffic and recommended improvements, if needed. Based on comments received on the draft memorandum, the memorandum will be revised and a final traffic memorandum will be prepared and submitted.
To establish utility infrastructure needs, CSW/ST2 will:
(1) Re-engage the City staff to confirm the infrastructure needs beyond the development area.
This could require running of computer models related to water and sewer service, which are often managed by third parties.
(2) Support WRT in developing 10% plans for the public streets which will reflect above and below-ground infrastructure necessary to support the development. (3) Based on the plans and improvements required outside the plan area, update the cost analysis.
The task will result in a memo defining projected development by land use type and by block and establishing transportation and infrastructure needs.
MEMORANDUM
Task 2.2: Analysis of Financing Options and Strategy
May 10, 2021
Page I 13
EPS will identify and evaluate a variety of funding and financing mechanisms that would be appropriate to fund the required improvement costs and/or defray up-front or advance-funding costs associated with these facilities. EPS will consider currently available sources of funding for capital improvements, though these existing mechanisms are not expected to cover the unique costs of planned downtown improvements . Accordingly , EPS will consider a variety of other Project-specific financing mechanisms that may include the following options:
• Area-specific development impact fees (and related reimbursement agreements). • Special assessments and taxes (e.g., Mello-Roos Community Facilities Districts). • Private contributions and exactions.
• Tax increment financing mechanisms (e.g., Enhanced Infrastructure Finance District or Community Revitalization and Investment Authority).
EPS, with the assistance of the WRT team and the City, will select financing mechanisms and strategies for the Precise Plan that are based on financing principles; statutory and legal considerations; and industry standards regarding who typically pays for what, the timing of public improvements relative to private development, commitments regarding the availability of public sector funding, and other relevant factors .
EPS will prepare a financing strategy that describes the implementat ion steps required to use existing and to create new proposed financing mechanisms . The financing strategy will specify the financial responsibilities of the public and private participants in implementation of the Plan. The financing strategy will be circulated to City staff and Project participants to ensure their understanding and to obtain their comments and suggestions. EPS will also prepare a Financing Strategy memorandum incorporating one round of consolidated City comments.
This task will culminate in a financing plan that describes the various financial resources and tools needed to pay for infrastructure and amenities. Note that the specific elements of the Financing Plan cannot be known with certainty at this time, but this proposal anticipates that an Area Development Impact Fee is a likely outcome .
Task 2.3: Area Impact Fee Program (Optional, included as Contigency)
WRT MEMORANDUM
May 10, 2021
Page I 14
EPS will prepare the technical documentation necessary for approval of an area development impact fee to cover the "fair share" cost of new infrastructure and public improvements serving the Specific Plan. The "Nexus Report" will be prepared consistent with AB 1600 and related requirements.
EPS will develop a preliminary fee schedule based on the total costs attributable to the Downtown Precise Plan program, based on the cost estimates and cost allocations described above. EPS will net out other likely potential funding sources and include a fee program administrative charges, as appropriate. The fees will be derived by dividing the capital facility costs by the projected development in each land use category. EPS will summarize the fees by improvement type and land use for the City's review. Based on comments received and EPS will finalize the fee schedule for inclusion in the Nexus Report.
EPS will take primary responsibility for preparing the Development Impact Fee Nexus Report that will document the study assumptions and methodology and establish the required nexus findings consistent with AB 1600 and reporting requirements of Government Code 66000 et. seq. EPS will first provide an administrative draft for review by City staff. Based on one round of comments, EPS will then prepare a Public Review Draft for broader release. Again, based on one round of consolidated public comments and direction from City staff, EPS will prepare a Final Report for presentation to the City Council for approval.
The budget includes representation and participation, as needed, from appropriate EPS team members at two public meetings or presentations, including at City Council approval. Additional meetings and/or report iterations beyond those described herein may require a budget amendment.
The proposed budget does not include multiple iterations of the fee analysis or EPS participation in any landowner meetings or negotiation sessions that may be required.
Meetings:
• Up to two meetings with key project stakeholders, including property owners and/or City staff. The goal of these meetings will be to vet the financing strategy and assumptions.
MEMORANDUM
Deliverables:
• Development Program and Infrastructure Needs Memorandum • Financing Plan (Draft)
• Financing Plan (Final)
The specific elements of the Financing Plan cannot be known with certainty at this time, but this proposal anticipates that an Area Development Impact Fee is a likely outcome.

Cost: $103,700, including $33,600 contingency for Area Development Impact Fee Nexus Study Timeframe: 4-6 months.
3. DOWNTOWN MANAGEMENT ENTITY
WRT, with support from MJB Consulting and Greensfelder Real Estate Consulting (GRES), will define the role of a management entity to help achieve success for Downtown . The entity's roles may include curating retail, programming public spaces, and marketing . Defining the right approach will include the following subtasks.
Task 3.1 Stakeholder Interviews and DCTF Meeting
The Team will intef'\liew key stakeholders to better understand the capacities , resources, mandates and political dynamics of each, to determine how the new entity would best fit. We will draw on existing findings about market and real estate dynamics.
Task 3.2 Analysis and Recommendations
The Team will craft the foundation for a regulatory rubric with the goal of seeing a diverse array of desired uses (by NAICS code) and des ired mix of independent, regional, and national occupiers. The
MEMORANDUM
foundation will outline plusses and minuses of suggested approaches, define the Downtown Management Entity and its roles, and discuss implementation process and procedures.
Recommendations will also include identification of partners and best practices in event management and marketing.
Task 3.3 Incorporation into Precise Plan
The analysis and recommendations will be incorporated into the Implementation chapter of the Santa Clara Downtown Precise Plan.
Meetings:

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Authorize the City Manager to execute an Amendment to the Agreement with Wallace Roberts & Todd, LLC for Downtown Precise Plan Consultant Services pending funding proposed as part of the FY 2021/22 and FY 2022/23 Proposed Operating Budget
COUNCIL PILLAR
Promote and Enhance Economic, Housing and Transportation Development
BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clara’s 2010-2035 General Plan identifies focus areas throughout the City, including the Downtown area, to promote the City’s diverse economic base and meet the demand for housing that addresses job growth in the City and region.
In response to the Community’s goal of revitalizing the City’s historic Downtown area, the City Council approved $400,000 in the FY 2018/19 and FY 2019/20 Adopted Biennial Capital Improvement Program Budget to support the preparation of a Precise Plan. From this budget, $90,000 was spent on a non-refundable deposit for an option on the acquisition of the Franklin Street Right-of-Way easement. Working closely with a community Task Force, including organizations such as Reclaiming Our Downtown and the Old Quad Resident’s Association, the City commenced preparation of the Precise Plan that will provide guidance for new development within the Downtown area through policies, guidelines, and illustrations that implement the community vision and objectives for a vibrant, pedestrian-oriented destination. As part of this effort, the City engaged a consultant to assist in the preparation of the Precise Plan.
In February 2019, the City issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Downtown Precise Plan Consultant Services, using the City’s e-procurement system. On October 8, 2019, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute an agreement with Wallace Roberts & Todd, LLC (WRT) to provide Downtown Precise Plan Consultant Services for an initial three-year term ending September 30, 2022 (with an option to extend the Agreement for an additional three-year term through September 30, 2025), for a maximum compensation not to exceed $578,346, subject to the annual appropriation of funds. As part of Council action, additional funding of $268,346 was also approved to fully fund the agreement.
The agreement is fixed price with payments tied to the successful completion of the milestones listed in the table below. The cost elements include the tasks from the scope of work that were identified in the RFQ, as well as the optional tasks identified by the Consultant in their RFQ response.

Work to date has focused on preparation of the Precise Plan’s preferred land use plan placemaking and urban design. Upcoming key tasks in the Precise Plan process include developing the draft chapters of the Precise Plan and preparation of the environmental clearance for the Precise Plan.
DISCUSSION
The Downtown Community Task Force (DCTF) was approved by the City Council, and is an advisory, non-voting body that meets over the course of the Downtown Precise Plan planning process to provide input on the vision, land use, circulation, and urban design aspects of the Plan, as well as key policy issues. The DCTF has met 17 times since the start of the planning process in December 2018.
At the April 6, 2021 City Council meeting, the Chair and Vice Chair of the DCTF provided an update on the progress of the Precise Plan Work to date and requested that Council seek an amendment to the Consultant scope of work for the Precise Plan to add services. The DCTF has been pro-actively contemplating the next steps towards implementation of the Precise Plan with the goal of making sure that those steps lead to the best possible outcomes for a successful downtown. As the DCTF looks towards implementation, they requested the following services be added to the scope of work for the Precise Plan. The Consultant has provided a description and scope for each of these tasks in the attached “DCTF-Requested Additional Services Memorandum”.

21-667 Agenda Date: 5/25/2021
§ Form-Based Zoning Code - prepare a form-based zoning code for the Plan area to be adopted as a part of the City’s Municipal Code.
§ Downtown Sign Ordinance - prepare a sign ordinance to be adopted as a part of the City’s Municipal Code to establish the criteria for future developers and tenants to develop and implement exterior building signage.
§ Development Impact Fee - prepare the technical documentation necessary for approval of an area development impact fee to cover the “fair share” cost of new infrastructure and public improvements serving the Precise Plan area.
§ Downtown Management Entity - Define the role of a Downtown management entity including its role, among other things, programming/curating uses. § Additional Downtown Community Task Force (DCTF) meetings with the Consultant Team -Facilitate two additional meetings of the Task Force, helping to retain a strong link between Task Force discussion and Plan outcomes. The consultant would also support the review of any current development projects within the Plan Area to evaluate design consistency with the Plan vision and to make recommendations.
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
Funding for the existing agreement with Wallace Roberts & Todd, LLC for Downtown Precise Plan in the amount of $578,346 was previously budgeted in the Downtown Master Plan project (#6559) in the General Government Capital Fund. These funds have been spent or encumbered for this project.
An amendment to the agreement is requested to provide additional services as discussed above.
Funding of $300,000 is requested to cover the additional services estimated at $251,600 as well as contingency funds that would cover any unforeseen added DCTF meetings, community outreach, or additional analysis. The FY 2021/22 and FY 2022/23 Proposed Operating Budget includes a FY 2021/22 capital project amendment to add funding of $300,000 for this additional work from the General Fund Capital Projects Reserve to cover the total cost of the amendment to the Agreement.
The Proposed Budget scheduled for adoption on June 22, 2021.
COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Finance Department and the City Attorney’s Office.
