REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Proclaim Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 - October 15, 2023

BACKGROUND
In 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed a proclamation to establish Hispanic Heritage Week.

The proclamation recognized the fact that five Central American countries - Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua - celebrate their respective Independence Days on September

15. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16 and September 18, respectively.

In 1988, Congress passed legislation to amend the original resolution and establish an entire month in honor of Hispanic heritage, leaders, and culture. President George H.W. Bush issued a presidential proclamation the following year to establish National Hispanic Heritage Month so that we can honor, celebrate, and thank Hispanic Americans for their many contributions to the country and culture of the United States.

For 2023, the theme focuses on prosperity, power, and progress, recognizing the significant strides of Hispanics in the economic, political, and social growth of the U.S. under the theme “Latinos: Driving Prosperity, Power, and Progress in America.”

DISCUSSION
On September 12, 2023 the Council will proclaim the period of September 15 through October 15, 2023 as Hispanic Heritage Month in the City of Santa Clara. La Misión Colectiva from Mission College will be present to accept the proclamation.

Proclaim September 16, 2023, as Mahsa Amini Day

BACKGROUND
On September 16, 2022, in Iran, Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian woman, died in police custody after having been arrested on the basis of inadequate head covering. The City of Santa Clara received requests from several Santa Clara residents and community members to name September 16, 2023 as Mahsa Amini Day.

On November 13, 2012, the City of Santa Clara adopted Ordinance No. 1899 to protect and safeguard the right and opportunity of all persons to be free from all forms of discrimination, including discrimination based on age, race, color, creed, religion, national origin, ancestry, disability, marital status, sex, gender, gender identity, and sexual orientation. The City of Santa Clara recognizes Mahsa Amini Day as a tribute to Mahsa Amini’s courage and the countless women around the world who have suffered gender injustice and continue to advocate for their fundamental human rights and freedom.

DISCUSSION
The City of Santa Clara will officially proclaim September 16, 2023, as Mahsa Amini Day.

Meeting Minutes

Video: [01:06:40]
Thomas Granvold stated that Dave Schneider who was the Executive Director of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition use to advocate for sharrows on the street back in the 90s, but has changed his mind saying they are useless. Mr. Granvold agrees with Mr. Schneider. The City of London has 40 percent bicycle share during peak traffic hours and City should set same goals. The City of Sonoma has wayfinding signs for bicycles.

Ken Kratz requested City Engineer, Mr. Liw, elaborate on his comments made at the January 2023 BPAC meeting related to the expense to acquire lot frontage by eminent domain and the problem of relocating sidewalk to add a bike lane on the Lafayette Street project. He stated Mr.

Liw noted those alternatives Mr. Kratz suggested would not work, however City used them in the past. Mr. Kratz felt those decisions were in the realm of BPAC's responsibilities. He would like his queries responded to by Mr.

Liw.

Edmund Drozek from the Senior Advisory Commission commented on the pedestrian crossing at San Tomas at Monroe Street which is both a bike and ped crossing heavily used by seniors and people of all ages. The traffic light put at the location is a street crossing light and there is no street there and just a pedestrian crossing. He was told by Mr.Liw the City will put up reflective yellow tape around the signal light which is a good start.

However, Mr. Drozek is requesting a HAWK light at this location and should give proper consideration for it. He also mentioned that the San Tomas Creek Trail fence needs major repair.

Ed Mauer shares photos of a stretch of sidewalk taken in 2017 at Los Olivos and Homestead intersection facing eastbound and his concern is street signs, lamp posts, and utility poles placed right in the sidewalk which narrows the sidewalk for people walking, especially together. Six years later this situation has gotten worse as he presents other locations with same issue. Mr. Mauer would like that these signs and posts not be placed in the middle of the sidewalk. City needs to either expand the sidewalks and move fences, if needed, to make it easier and more pleasant for pedestrians to walk.

A motion was made by Commissioner Bouza, seconded by
Commissioner Saleme to approve a Significant Property Alteration (SPA) Permit for alterations to the main historic resource, subject to the procedures outlined in the Preservation Treatment Plan attached to the Development Plans, based upon the following findings:
a.

The alterations are designed to preserve the essential character, features, and defining elements that make the HRI property significant, in that the alterations do not modify the historic aspects of the property;
b. The project proposals will not have a significant adverse effect on the integrity of the HRI property, in that the modifications preserve the defining features of the historic structure;
c. The alterations will be compatible with the existing structure or district, in that the proposed alterations would be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale, proportion, and massing of the property; and
d. The alterations are consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Treatment Standards, in that the exterior alterations will not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property.

03/08/2023Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
A motion was made by Commissioner Bouza, seconded by
Commissioner Saleme, to approve the variance, with the following modifications:
•
The maximum height shall be 17 feet.
• The rear setback shall be 1.5 feet.
• The rear yard coverage shall be increased from 40% to 57%.

Based upon the following findings:

1. That there are unusual conditions applying to the land or building which do not apply generally in the same district, in that the property is a corner lot, which has more significant setback requirements than other lots, and also the existing structures (with their pre-1969 layout) limit the available area to locate the proposed expansions;

2. That the granting of the Variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights of the petitioner, in that granting the variance would allow the petitioner to enhance a pre-1969 residential layout without impairing any of the significant historic features of the house, and many of the surrounding properties already contained taller accessory structures than allowed by Code.

3. That the approval of such Variance, under the circumstances of the particular case, will not materially affect adversely the health, safety, peace, comfort, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the Property Owner’s property, and will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property or improvements in said neighborhood, in that the existing conditions included a garage that is legal nonconforming with regard to setbacks and height with no adverse effects reported.

4. That the approval of the Variance is in keeping with the purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance, in that the Zoning Ordinance recognizes that practical difficulties may result in the strict application of certain provisions, and the existing layout of the site predates the adopted Zoning Ordinance, and strict application would lead to practical difficulties with the modification and enhancement of the site.

Strategic Highlights

Oak View Group (OVG) continues to be actively involved with the City and its consultant, Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) on the development of the Silicon Valley/Santa Clara DMO, Inc dba Discover Santa Clara
®. In the fourth quarter, the OVG General Manager, as a board member of Discover Santa Clara®, participated in interviewing Marketing Manager candidates, implemented the new Booking Policy changes, assisted the DMO’s accounting firm to edit new financial SOPs, and provided input on the submission of multiple proposals to potential clients.

OVG and its partners from Levy, Smart City and Encore implemented the Convention Center’s new Booking Policy and continued prospecting new business focused on bringing high impact events to the destination. The Center booked 67 new events, 15 of which are P3 or higher.

Sales efforts were aligned with OVG, Levy and the DMO’s shared key performance indicators (KPIs). The continued bookings are a positive sign for the Convention Center, but the ongoing layoffs and downsizing within the tech industry continue to be concerning. The tech industry is a major driver of convention center business in Santa Clara, and if the layoffs continue, it could have a negative impact on future bookings.

OVG increased part-time staffing in the fourth quarter due to event demand. Overall, employee totals averaged 32 individuals, still 18 fewer than the pre-pandemic number of 50. All employees were brought back in accordance with SB 93, California’s Rehiring and Retention Law.

Financial Highlights

The fourth quarter started very strongly as April had the highest number of events and net profit in the quarter. May was slower yet was still better than budget and June also saw a higher profit margin than projected. Conventions and consumer shows both exceeded their budgeted event numbers. Gross revenue, April through June, was $6,614,989 representing 170.20% of the overall budget for revenue. Conversely, expenses totaled $5,421,421, 146.27% of the budgeted expenses for the quarter, resulting in an overall profit of $1,193,568 for the fourth quarter.

Event Highlights

Eighty-four events took place during the quarter, 20 less than the budgeted number of 104. In the quarter, 23 events were lost, six events rescheduled their dates, and 17 clients did not move forward with their proposal.

In May, TieCon returned to Santa Clara for the first time since the pandemic. Nearly 2,000 people attended the world’s largest technology conference for entrepreneurs, corporate executives, and investors. June was highlighted by Docusign Momentum. Over 300 attendees heard from some of the largest companies in North America including UBER and Santa Clara based NVIDIA.

Other Activities

In the fourth quarter, the GM worked with the project management team to move the Digital Signage project forward. There continues to be delays in receiving the equipment but are still on track for full installation by the end of the calendar year.

OVG continued active prospecting for FY 2022/23, FY 2023/24 and beyond. OVG’s goal for the year is to average 204 active business prospects throughout the fiscal year. At the end of the fourth quarter, OVG’s sales team is actively working on 270 sales prospects. Applying the goals of the Booking Strategy, OVG has put an emphasis on prospecting and generating leads for Priority 3 business. OVG is aiming to convert 20% of those prospects into tentative 1 business.

Of those tentative events, OVG will work to reach a conversion rate of 20% into definite2 business throughout the fiscal year. With a full year of data, the sales team is reviewing the conversion ratios. The partners and sales team continue to discuss and identify ideas or concepts that will differentiate the Santa Clara Convention Center from its competitors.

During the fourth quarter, OVG and Levy GMs worked together with the DMO CEO and Director of Marketing (DOM) to review new marketing materials for the sales team. The DOM produced a new floor plan layout that will provide meeting planners with clearer and easier to follow drawings. Work was also done on creating a more streamlined proposal that can be sent to P1 & P2 groups. This new proposal will assist with speed to market while maintaining the valuable information that makes Santa Clara unique.

During Q4, OVG and its partners, Levy, Smart City, and Encore AV, organized a successful community event called "June Bloom" to kick off the summer. The event garnered immense popularity, attracting over 200 participants who enjoyed various activities like a petting zoo, bounce house, and arts & crafts. Several local non-profit entities, including the Santa Clara Parks Department and Santa Clara Libraries, also participated. Impressively, attendees came from as far as Los Angeles, with over 15% of the visitors being residents of Santa Clara. OVG aims to continue hosting such events to encourage more local participation and strengthen the community bond.

1 A tentative is defined as having dates held and/or proposals issued to the client. 2 A definite is realized when a client signs its Use License Agreement for an event at Convention Center.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

Gross revenue was $6,614,989 and net income was $1,193,568 for Q4. Through the fourth quarter, the event mix shows the Convention Center hosted 20 of its targeted P3’s, 36 of its P4 goal and 186 of its P5 mark. Prospecting numbers remain strong as the Sales Managers continue to focus on bringing new business to the facility. KPI Q4 and YTD results are reported below.

Updates to the Convention Center Booking Strategy went into effect April 1, 2023. Adjustments were made to the booking windows as well as the event type criteria (number of room nights and total Convention Center spend). The adjusted booking windows now provide a greater emphasis on P1 – P3 groups and events to ensure there is room for the highest revenue producing groups for the DMO, hotels, Convention Center, Levy, and the City. Groups are evaluated based upon priority number, current market conditions, day-of-week pattern, type of group (i.e., industry), Center revenue, and needs of all parties on a case-by-case basis.

• Priority 1 (P1) event – Large multi-day convention and/or conference that utilizes all venue space at the Convention Center, utilizes significant venue services such as food and beverage, audio- visual and information technology, and draws a substantial number of out-of-town visitors that stay in multiple Santa Clara hotels. Based on projected combined building spend and peak hotel room nig hts booked, has an 18+ month booking window.
• Priority 2 (P2) event – Primarily large multi-day convention and/or conference that utilizes most of the venue space at the Convention Center, utilizes venue services such as food and beverage, audio- visual and information technology, and draws out of town visitors that stay in multiple Santa Clara Performance Measures

REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Actions on an Agreement for Professional Services with Wallace Roberts & Todd, LLC in the Amount Not to Exceed $442,624 to Develop a Comprehensive Citywide Parks & Recreation Master Plan and the Related Budget Amendment

COUNCIL PILLAR
Enhance Community Sports, Recreational, and Arts Assets Deliver and enhance High-Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure

BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clara operates and maintains the City’s parks and recreation system that provides a level of service equivalent to 2.6 to 3.0 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents. The system includes mini parks and plazas, neighborhood parks, community parks, aquatics and sports facilities, public open space, senior and youth centers, special use facilities, recreational trails, and joint use facilities among others. The City is experiencing increased residential growth and new demands on existing facilities. A system-wide community parks and recreation master plan is needed to provide an inclusive framework for orderly and consistent planning for the acquisition, development, operation, maintenance, and administration of the existing and new parks and recreation resources, programs, and facilities.

Parks and recreation master planning is a comprehensive process that provides guidance and policy direction to local government decision makers. The planning process engages stakeholders, gathers public input, and provides a foundation for understanding and responding to the parks and recreation needs of the community. The process involves strategically examining a community’s vision; existing community services, facilities, and resources; and assessing future needs as well as the budget for long-term or phased-in development and improvements.

To assist in the development of the comprehensive Parks & Recreation Master Plan (Plan), a consultant with requisite professional knowledge and expertise is needed. The Plan will create a roadmap for ensuring equitable access, quantity, and proximity to quality parks, recreation facilities, programs and services throughout the community now and into the future in support of the community’s growing parks and recreation needs. The consultant will develop, collect, and analyze data to develop a clear set of goals, policy recommendations, and standards for the acquisition, development, operation, maintenance, and funding of the community’s public park system to serve the needs of Santa Clara over the next 15-20 years.

DISCUSSION
Pursuant to City Code Section 2.105.140(c), a formal Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) was conducted, with the award recommendation based on “best value”. In May 2023, the City published City of Santa Clara Printed on 9/6/2023Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™
23-920 Agenda Date: 9/12/2023
the SOQ for Consulting Services for the Development of a Master Plan for the Parks & Recreation Department on the City’s e-procurement platform. Four proposals were received from the following firms:
· Berry Dunn
· Catalyze SV
· Gates + Associates
· Wallace Roberts & Todd
The proposals were individually evaluated by a five-member team. Staff recommends awarding the agreement to Wallace Roberts & Todd, LLC (WRT) for having submitted the best value proposal.

WRT’s team of consultants has extensive experience developing Parks & Recreation Master Plans including outreach, data analysis, planning/modeling expertise, and recent local comparable projects.

Under the Agreement, WRT will provide professional services for the development of the City’s Parks & Recreation Master Plan. The scope of services includes project management, community engagement, resource and data collection, implementation, and development of the final plan and supporting materials. The consultants will work closely with staff, commissions and Council to prepare an appropriate Plan, through assessment and analysis of current parks and recreation facilities, programs, and services, park system mapping, demographic and recreational demand/trend analysis, review of research based best practices and feasible implementation strategies.

The maximum compensation under the proposed agreement is $442,624, which includes a contingency amount of $40,239 for additional services that may be requested by the City.

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 cost of the contract is $402,385, plus a 10% contingency of $40,239, for a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $442,624. The Parks & Recreation Master Plan project has a current budget of $300,000 in the Parks & Recreation Capital Fund. The recommended budget amendment is to reallocate $142,700 from the Park Impact Fees Monitoring project to the Parks & Recreation Master Plan project, increasing the project appropriation from $300,000 to $442,700. The Park Impact Fees Monitoring project has sufficient capacity for this funding shift. The Plan is an appropriate use of Park Impact Fee Monitoring Project funds because it will help the City estimate the amount of parkland needed to serve new development and serve as a basis for future fee justification analyses.

EXHIBIT A

SCOPE OF SERVICES

1.2. Specifically, Consultant will develop, collect, and analyze data to develop a clear set of goals, policies and standards for the acquisition, development, operation, maintenance and funding of the community’s public park system, green space, easements/joint use facilities, recreation facilities and programs to serve the needs of Santa Clara the next 15-20 years. Consultant shall work closely with Santa Clara residents, commissions, staff, and Council in preparing the Plan.

REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Action on an Agreement with West Yost & Associates, Inc. with a Maximum Compensation of $949,502 to Update the City’s Water Supply Master Plan and to Approve the Related Budget Amendments

COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure

BACKGROUND
The City’s Water Master Plan helps guide the Water & Sewer Utilities Department (Department) in its effort to continue to meet the water needs of Santa Clara. Since the Water Master Plan was last updated in 2002, the City has experienced significant growth in housing and redevelopment and continues to face challenges in water supply due to severe droughts.

The Department is seeking to update the 2002 Water Master Plan to adopt an innovative and sustainable plan that encompasses a One Water long-term plan that addresses drought and climate resiliency. The “One Water” approach envisions managing all water in an integrated, comprehensive, and sustainable manner that considers all water resources from ground water, treated water, wastewater, recycled water, dry weather runoff and stormwater that improves water resiliency to climate change.

Additionally, an updated Water Master Plan will address business efficiencies to minimize asset failures through optimized designs and management practices. This will include capital improvement planning to support the implementation of the updated Water Master Plan including the development of an Asset Management Program to ensure existing infrastructure replacements support stewardship of the City’s long-term drinking water supply strategy.

DISCUSSION
Pursuant to City Code Section 2.105.140(c), a formal Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) was conducted, with the award recommendation based on “best value”.

Staff initially published the SOQ for the One Water Santa Clara - Sustainable Water Supply Master Plan Update in December 2019 and again in October 2022. Staff posted the SOQ on the City’s e- procurement system and reached out to firms in the water industry. However, only one proposal was received in the 2019 procurement, which was subsequently withdrawn, and no proposals were received in the 2022 procurement.

In January 2023, staff re-published the SOQ on the City’s e-procurement system and invited three City of Santa Clara Printed on 9/7/2023Page 1 of 4
powered by Legistar™
23-834 Agenda Date: 9/12/2023
firms to participate. Two proposals were received from EKI Environment & Water, Inc. (EKI) and West Yost & Associates, Inc. (West Yost).

A three-member evaluation team independently evaluated and scored the proposals against the criteria and weights published in the SOQ. Both firms were then invited for oral interviews to introduce their proposed project team members and demonstrate their ability to meet the City’s requirements. Following oral presentations, the evaluation team determined that West Yost submitted the best value proposal. West Yost’s proposal was rated superior in the following key areas:
· Has over 30 years of experience in water supply and system planning. · Has completed Water Master Plan Updates for neighboring cities such as Milpitas, San Bruno, and Menlo Park.
· Employs certified and registered professionals in various fields related to water resources, environmental, geology, hydrogeology, risk management, asset management, and condition assessment.

The proposed agreement with West Yost has a maximum compensation of $949,502, with milestone payments tied to the successful completion of key project deliverables. It includes a detailed scope of services with a breakdown of tasks, that includes the following:
· Task 1 - Project Management
· Task 2 - Data Collection
· Task 3 - Refinement of Water Demand Projection
· Task 4 - Update of Water System Evaluation Criteria
· Task 5 - Water System Capacity and Performance Evaluations · Task 6 - Implementation Strategy Alternatives
· Task 7 - Development of Capital Improvement Plans
· Task 8 - Asset Management Plan
· Task 9 - Master Plan Report
· Task 10 - Water Supply Assessment
· Task 11 - Evaluation of Development Fees
· Task 12 - Asset Management for City Sewer Collection System Approval of the recommendations will provide the City with an updated Water Supply Master Plan that encompasses:
· Resource planning efforts addressing drought and climate resilience. · Integrated, comprehensive, and sustainable approach to all water resources from ground water, treated water, wastewater, recycled water, dry weather runoff and stormwater that improves water resiliency to climate change.
· Capital improvement planning including the development of an Asset Management Program to ensure existing infrastructure replacements to support the stewardship of the City’s long-term potable water supply strategy.
· An asset registry and hierarchy for the City’s sanitary sewer collections system.

expectations, regulatory compliance issues, and the ability of the assets to meet these performance requirements (i.e., the levels of service required from the assets).

6.3.5. A properly prepared Asset Management Plan should greatly improve the City to meet its goals and objectives in a way that best serves its customers. The Asset Management Plan will develop a 5- and 10-year CIP that will assist with replacement and renewal of the City. The plan should enable the City predict costs and problems that may arise in service delivery and allow time to solve these problems in the most cost-effective manner for both existing and future customers.

6.3.6. City will provide staff resources from management, engineering, operations, finance and IT to participate in asset management workshop. City will provide asset listing from GIS and CMMS with attributes that describe age, size, material, etc. to estimate remaining useful life. City will provide performance data from CMMS ad hoc databases and staff knowledge for horizontal and vertical assets.

6.3.7. Consultant will prepare an asset registry with hierarchy for all facilities which will be used to guide a desktop study of horizontal assets based on remaining useful life, pipe material and performance history. Consultant will conduct walkdowns of vertical assets (facilities) to assess asset condition and meeting with City Operations and Maintenance staff to discuss performance of assets and the impact of that performance on asset condition and required improvements. Invasive analytical testing of assets is not included.

REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Action on Addendum 5 to Software License Agreement Contract No. 2005-204 with Telvent USA LLC to Extend the Term of the Currently-Installed GIS System to April 22, 2026 and Increase Maximum Compensation for Enterprise-wide Software Licenses by $225,000 (Silicon Valley Power)

COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure

BACKGROUND
In July 2005, Council authorized the City Manager to execute an agreement with Miner & Miner, a Telvent company, entitled “Telvent USA LLC Software License Agreement Contract No. 2005- 204” (Agreement) for a new Geographic Information System (GIS) for the Electric Department, Silicon Valley Power (SVP). The new GIS application replaced paper maps to enable SVP to create, store, and visualize information associated with SVP’s electric infrastructure. This information is then used to (a) map, analyze, and plan new developments, (b) plan, monitor, and respond to outages, and (c) integrate with other solutions for activities such as utility pole loading calculations and survey poles in the SVP network.

In 2013, Council authorized Addendum 1 to the Agreement. This addendum converted the existing software license arrangement from “per-seat” license to an enterprise-wide license to permit more users to have access to the data and software tools at a lower cost. Addendum 1 was for a three- year term from April 23, 2013 through April 22, 2016, with a three-year cost of $217,500.

In 2016, the City Manager executed Addendum 2 to extend the term for three-years from April 23, 2016 to April 22, 2019 and authorized additional funding of $210,000 for services during that three- year period. During this period, Schneider Electric acquired Telvent.

In 2019, the City Manager executed Addendum 3 extending the term for one-year from April 23, 2019 to April 22, 2020 and authorizing additional funding of $60,000 for services during that one-year period.

In 2020, the City Manager executed Addendum 4 extending the term for a three-years from April 23, 2020 to April 22, 2023 and authorizing additional funding of $180,000 for services during that three- year period.

Since 2013, SVP has spent approximately $667,500 for the enterprise licenses for the Agreement and its addendums. Since the end of the term of Addendum 4, Schneider has provided temporary licenses to SVP. The purpose of this report is to request authorization to renew and extend the term of the Agreement to enable SVP to continue to use the enterprise-wide licenses from Schneider City of Santa Clara Printed on 9/7/2023Page 1 of 3

Electric.

DISCUSSION
Schneider Electric’s GIS software is a leader in utility management and SVP has invested significant capital and staff hours to build and optimize SVP’s data on this platform. There are no plans to replace this software as it fully meets the needs of SVP. Replacing it would incur high costs and require significant staff hours without providing any additional benefits. However, based on components of the GIS system that may require additional upgrades or changes, staff may consider a new system in 2026. At that time, staff will evaluate whether the Schneider Electric solution will be continued or whether a new solution will be procured and implemented. In the event that the City elects not to continue the Schneider Electric Solution, there is no obligation to renew at the end of the term in 2026 provided that the City is no longer using the software.

Staff recommends that City Council authorize the City Manager’s to execute Addendum 5 to the Agreement (Addendum 5). This will allow the extension of the agreement years through April 22, 2026. The proposed Addendum 5 memorializes the name change from Telvent to Schneider Electric, extends the term for three additional years, updates the annual software license fee to include fees for services during the extended three-year term, and makes other minor changes. Approval of Addendum 5 would increase the total compensation for enterprise-wide licenses to $892,500. Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute future addenda to extend the term up to three additional years so that (1) SVP can continue its use of the software; (2) add/delete functionalities and services for future system requirements. At the time of each renewal cycle or amendment for additional services, staff reviews pricing to ensure increases are appropriate.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to section 15060(c)(2) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations as it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT
The total cost of Addendum No. 5 is $225,000 over a three-year period. Funding for the first year of the agreement is $75,000. Sufficient funds are available in Electric Utility Fund in the FY 2023/24 Adopted Operating budget SVP Systems Support program.

Funding for future years will be included in future proposed operating budgets through the budget process.

COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Finance Department and 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.
