Proclamation of March as Red Cross Month
BACKGROUND
The American Red Cross was founded by American nurse Clara Barton in 1881. Inspired by the Swiss Red Cross network, Clara Barton campaigned for the American Red Cross as an organization to conduct domestic and overseas disaster relief efforts.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued the first Red Cross Month proclamation in 1943 to honor the organization’s work and raise awareness on its mission. Since then, every United States president has proclaimed March as Red Cross Month.
Red Cross Month is an opportunity for cities to recognize Red Cross volunteers. Red Cross volunteers make a difference in local neighborhoods and across the nation by preparing, responding, and recovering from disasters and emergencies, by donating blood and through financial contributions.
The mission of the Red Cross is to prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors. The Red Cross relies on their workforce, 90% of which are volunteers, to help millions of people, especially during local home fires, wildfires, as well as national hurricanes, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
DISCUSSION
At the March 19, 2024 City Council meeting, the City Council will proclaim March 2024 as Red Cross Month. Representatives from the Silicon Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross will accept the proclamation.

It is a common gynecological disease, with primary symptoms including pain and infertility. It is estimated to affect more than 11 percent of women between the ages of 15 and 44. It is especially common among women in their 30s and 40s and may make it harder to get pregnant.
There is no cure for endometriosis, but treatments are available for its symptoms. The City of Santa Clara joins other local efforts to bring awareness to this important month, helping those individuals who experience the condition get the diagnosis and healthcare they need.
DISCUSSION
During the March 19, 2024 City Council meeting, the City Council will proclaim March 2024 as Endometriosis Awareness Month in the City of Santa Clara. Local representatives from Democratic Activists for Women Now (DAWN) will be present to accept the proclamation.

Alternatives: 1, 2 and 3
1. Adopt a resolution recommending the City Council certify the Environmental Impact Report and adopt the CEQA Findings, Statement of Overriding Considerations, and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the 1957 Pruneridge Avenue
Residential Project.
2. Adopt a resolution recommending the City Council approve a rezoning of the project site from Public, Quasi-Public, and Public Park or Recreation (B) to Planned Development (PD) to allow construction of residential development consisting of 22 detached two-story residences with attached and detached garages, landscaping, and on- and off-site improvements, subject to conditions of approval.
3. Adopt a resolution recommending the City Council approve a Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map to subdivide the land into 22 individual lots and four common lots as a utility corridor, vehicle access, landscape open space and bioretention areas to serve the development, subject to conditions of approval.
Associate Planner Debby Fernandez provided the staff presentation.
Assistant City Attorney Alexander Abbe addressed the Commission regarding two conditions of approval related to the use of natural gas, B8 and P23. Mr. Abbe explained that B8 required the developer to comply with the City’s “Reach Code,” which requires most new development projects to build All-Electric Construction, with no installation of natural gas infrastructure. Mr.
Abbe explained that in recent discussions with the developer, the developer had also voluntarily committed to All-Electric Construction, regardless of the application of the City’s Reach Code, and that this was memorialized in condition P23.
Mr. Abbe further explained, however, that the despite this commitment from the developer, the developer had requested a modification to condition P23. As drafted by staff, condition P23 stated that the developer’s commitment to All-Electric Construction was an express basis for the City’s decision to rezone the property as Planned Development, and that if the developer sought to utilize methane at a later date, a revision to the PD zoning would be required. The developer agreed that a revision to the rezoning would be required if they later sought to use natural gas, but the developer did not want the City to state that All-Electric Construction was one of the express grounds for granting the PD zoning. Mr. Abbe cautioned that the developer’s request would likely make condition P23 more difficult to enforce, and make it more likely that the developer could utilize natural gas in the future without City approval.
02/21/2024Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
Mr. Abbe also explained that the developer was objecting to condition P5, which obligated the developer to provide a 5-foot sidewalk and a 5-foot landscaped area in conformance with the Pruneridge Avenue Complete Streets Plan (PACSP). Mr. Abbe advised the Commission that the Council formally adopted the PACSP in August 2022 and that the Commission did not have the discretion to waive the requirements of the PACSP, such as condition P5.
Commissioners inquired upon various items on the proposed project including new sidewalk standards, the possible use of solar for the project, traffic patterns for the project and concerns regarding the busy intersection at Pruneridge and Winchester as it relates to the location of the project driveway, as well as relocation of the remains of the burial site.
SCS Development representatives Matthew Schott and Cory Kusich provided the Applicant presentation.
David J. Powers & Associates staff Shannon George and Patrick Kalle were in attendance and spoke at the meeting.

DISCUSSION
This Report to Council transmits OVG’s SCCC Financial Status Report for the 2nd quarter ending December 31, 2023 (attached). This report is unaudited and, therefore, subject to change.
As OVG’s 2
nd quarter report indicates, there were 56 events hosted at the SCCC, 2 less than the budgeted 58 events. There were 22 events in October 2023, 20 events in November 2023, and 14 events in December 2023.
The second quarter followed its historical pattern of a strong start gradually tapering off towards the holiday season. Based on event needs, OVG staffing levels varied from 31-32 throughout the quarter.

Financial Summary
Financial Results
In FY 2023/24, the second quarter followed its historical pattern of a strong start gradually tapering off toward the holiday season. Notably, October, originally projected as the most profitable month in the first half, exceeded expectations by an impressive margin of over $60,000. Surprisingly, November, initially expected to incur a $13,000 loss, turned out to be the standout performer, yielding a profit exceeding $565,000, mainly due to the success of two new events. Despite December resulting in a loss, it exceeded anticipated losses by over $200,000. As a result, OVG 360 and its partners achieved a gross revenue of $5,535,047 during the quarter, surpassing the budgeted amount by $1,632,601. The net income for Q2 reached $862,575, surpassing the budgeted income by $854,047, compared to the anticipated $8,528.

Previous Fiscal Year Comparison
When compared to the same quarter of the previous fiscal year, the number of actual events that took place were the same; however, FY 2023/24 saw a seven day increase.
While the number of events stayed the same, the decreased attendance is usually indicative of the type of events that took place. For example, consumer/public shows generate more attendance than sporting events and in FY 2023/24, there were more sporting events during this time frame than consumer/public shows.
Financially, there was significant improvement with a net operating gain of $862,575 in the current quarter compared to a net operating gain of $357,738 in 2 nd quarter of FY 2022/23.

Other Activities
OVG 360 worked in partnership with the Hyatt Santa Clara when a water main broke in the shared courtyard between the properties. The teams were able to locate the turn off and minimize the damages to the courtyard and meeting areas surrounding.
The OVG 360 GM, as a Board Member/Officer (Treasurer) attended the following meetings regarding DMO business:
o Met with Kirsh & Company, the DMO accounting agency, to review and finalize the DMO’s Financial SOPs.
o Met with the Board Chair and the CEO to review and provide results of the CEO’s goals for FY 2022/23.
o Met with representatives of Bridge B ank, the DMO’s new banking partner to discuss and implement the setting up of its new account. o Met as part of the Nominating Committ ee to interview a potential new board member.
o Met with the Administrative Servic es Manager (ASM) to begin training on processing DMO payroll.
OVG 360 met with the City, the DMO and JLL to discuss and review outstanding projects that needed to be completed by JLL prior to the end of the calendar year.
OVG 360’s management team also met to review and prepare its event folders for a sales audit scheduled by the City and JLL in December.
Working in conjunction with Levy, the DMO, and the City the sales team reconfirmed its prospect goals for FY 2023/24. OVG 360’s goal for the year is to average 220 active business prospects throughout FY 2023/24. As of the end of the second quarter, OVG 360’s sales team is actively working 131 sales prospects. The sharp decline in prospects for this December is due to a change in how we track lost business opportunities. Previously prospects were updated to reflect event dates for the following year instead of labeling them as "Lost." This allowed the team to continue pursuing them as opportunities. However, after redefining “Lost Business” with the DMO, OVG updated the lead tracking procedures and those prospects that went past the potential event dates are now marked as lost. So, while the lower number of prospects seems to reflect worse business conditions, it will likely result in keeping the prospects fresh for the sales managers. It will also lead to improved accuracy in prospect reporting. OVG 360 will continue to put an emphasis on prospecting and generating leads for Priority 3 business aiming to convert 20% of those prospects into tentative
1 business. Of those tentative events, OVG 360 strives
to reach a conversion rate of 20% into definite2 business throughout the fiscal year.
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.

The Center operated at a profit of $1,185,384 through Q2 as a result of higher audio- visual and electrical revenues. For the remainder of FY 2023/24, revenues are projected at a $941,405 loss resulting in an overall profit of $243,979 for the fiscal year. If these projections hold, the Center will exceed its budgeted profit of $104,170 by $139,809.
While this number is fluid, OVG 360 anticipates that the projected profit will continue to increase in the coming months due to new business bookings scheduled in the year and for the year.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on the City of Santa Clara Federally Funded Grants’ Single Audit Report for Fiscal Year 2022- 23 COUNCIL PILLAR
Enhance Community Engagement and Transparency
BACKGROUND
The City’s annual financial statement audit includes a federally mandated “Single Audit”, which is designed to meet the special reporting requirements of federal granting agencies. These include those requirements set forth in 2CFR Part 200 which establishes uniform administrative requirements, cost principles, and audit requirements for Federal awards to non-Federal entities. The Single Audit rules require that an independent audit on the fair presentation of the financial statements and internal controls for compliance with the administrative requirements of federal awards for agencies with more than $750,000 of federal grant expenditures in a fiscal year. Since the City met this $750,000 threshold, the City hired Maze & Associates to conduct the audit. The Single Audit report is attached.
On February 28, 2024, City staff and Maze & Associates met with the City Council Audit Committee (Committee), which included. Committee members Watanabe, Jain, and Park. During the Committee meeting, Maze & Associates gave a presentation about the audit process, scope of work, and their auditor’s opinion. City staff and Maze & Associates answered questions from Committee members.
The Committee unanimously accepted the Single Audit Report presented at the Committee meeting and recommended that the City Council note and file the report at the March 19, 2024 Council meeting. After the Council meeting, the Single Audit Report will be published on the City’s website.
DISCUSSION
Based on their audit, Maze & Associates issued an unmodified opinion with regard to the fair presentation of the financial statements and the City’s compliance with internal control requirements.
For Fiscal Year 2022-23, Maze & Associates identified the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) - as the major program to audit. The audit contained one noncompliance finding relating to the CDBG’s timely expenditure requirements. This noncompliance finding partly arises from the above average monies received which approximately equal 1.5 times the most recent grant. To address this issue, staff developed a comprehensive plan (attached Corrective Action Plan) to expend the funds in a timely manner to ensure compliance with the next HUD Timeliness Test.

24-161 Agenda Date: 3/19/2024
Additionally, the Single Audit rules also require the City to report on the status of any audit findings that were identified during the previous year. The Single Audit for FY 2021-22 resulted in a finding related to the grant deadline reporting requirements for the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF) program. The City has corrected these issues as outlined in the attached Summary Schedule of Prior Audit Findings.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This item does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15060(c)(1) as it does not involve the exercise of discretionary powers by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
The staff and the external auditor costs associated with the audit and financial reports production are included in the annual budget.

1 SECTION II – FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS
Our audit did not disclose any significant deficiencies , material weaknesses or instances of noncompliance material to the basic financial statements. We have also issued a separate Memorandum on Internal Control dated November 30, 2023, which is an integral part of our audits and should be read in conjunction with this report.
SECTION III – FEDERAL AWARD FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS Our audit disclosed the following finding required to be reported in accordance with Uniform Guidance:
Finding reference number: SA 2023-001
Assistance Listing Number: 14.218
Assistance Listing Title: Community Development Block Grant – Entitlement Grants Name of Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Criteria: As required by 24 CFR Section 570.902 of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) regulations, A grantee is considered not in compliance if, 60 days prior to the end of its program year, the balance in the grantee’s line of credit, plus the balance of program income on hand, is more than 1.5 times of the most recent entitlement grant.
Condition: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban De velopment San Francisco Regional Office reviewed Santa Clara’s compliance with requirements for carrying out a CDBG Program in a timely manner and noticed the City of the following conditions:
• Prior to the next 60-day test to be conducted on May 2, 2024, it was calculated that the City’s community has an adjusted line of credit balance of 3.07 times its annual grant. • The last 60-day test conducted on May 2, 2023, indica ted an adjusted line of credit balance of 2.38 times its annual grant.
• On May 2, 2022, the City had an adjusted line of credit balance of 1.90 times its annual grant.
Therefore, the Office notified the City that it is at risk of non-compliance with the 1.5 performance standard for the third consecutive year.
Effect: The City is at risk of not carrying out its CDBG program in a timely manner for the third consecutive year. The City’s future CDBG grant may be reduced by the dollar amount by which the 1.5 timeliness expenditure standard was exceeded.
Cause: The City was aware of the situation and has been trying to accelerate CDBG spending but has been unable to catch up due to various delays related to si x awarded capital projects. Delays were due to some applicants needing to secure lender approval before committing to the project, needing time for a consultant to determine if flood insurance is required, needing additional time to develop a new bid packet and CIP contract, a six-month delay to secure parts for elevator repairs, and insufficient staff capacit y to push forward all six projects at once.
Identification as a repeat finding: No
Recommendation: We recommend that the City treat this fi nding as a high priority and address the incompliance accordingly to avoid potential future reduction of the CDBG grant funding.
View of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Please see the Corrective Action Plan separately prepared by the City.

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN
AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Honorable Members of the City Council
City of Santa Clara, California
We
have audited, in accordance wi th the auditing standards generall y accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United Stat es, the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund , and the aggregate remain ing fund information of the City of Santa Clara as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s ba sic financial statements, a nd have issued our report thereon dated November 30, 2023.
Our report includes a reference to other auditors who au dited the financial statements of the City of Santa Clara Stadium Authority for the year ended March 31, 2023 and a reference to other auditors who audited the financial statements the Nort hern California Power Agency, Tr ansmission Agency of Northern California and San Jose-Santa Clara Regional Wastew ater Facility and Clean Water Financing Authority as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022, related to the calculation of the Investments in Joint Ventures, as described in our report on the City’s financial stat ements. This report includes our consideration of the results of the other auditors’ testin g of internal control over financia l reporting and compliance and other matters that are reported on separately by those other auditors. However, this report, insofar as it relates to the results of the other auditors, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. Our report also included an emphasis of a matter paragraph disclosing the implementation of new accounting principles.
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial st atements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal co ntrol. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or opera tion of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their a ssigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable poss ibility that a material misstatement of the City’s financial statements will not be prevente d, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important en ough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control was for the lim ited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficien cies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we and the other auditors did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified.
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its comp liance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, providing an opinio n on compliance with thos e provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly , we do not express such an opini on. The results of our tests and those of the other auditors disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
We have also issued a separate Me morandum on Internal Control date d November 30, 2023, which is an integral part of our audit and should be read in conjunction with this report.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the result of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectivenes s of the City’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integr al part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR PROGRAM
AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE;
AND REPORT ON THE SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS
REQUIRED BY THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE
To the Honorable Members of the City Council
City of Santa Clara, California
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
We have audited City of Santa Clara’s compliance with the types of compliance requirements identified as subject to audit in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of the City’s major federal programs for the y ear ended June 30, 2023. The City’s major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor’s results section of the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs.
The City of Santa Clara’s basic financial statements include the operations of the Santa Clara Stadium Authority (Stadium Authority), which is not included in the Schedule during the year ended June 30, 2023. Our audit, described below, did not include the operations of the Stadium Authority, because the Stadium Authority engaged other auditors.
In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2023.
Basis for Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
We conducted our audit of complian ce in accordance with auditing stan dards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS); the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller Ge neral of the United States ( Government Auditing Standards); and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Co st Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Our responsibilities under those standards and the Uniform Guidance are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.
We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to our au dit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on compliance for each major federal program. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above.
Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws, statutes, regulations, rules and provisions of cont racts or grant agreements applicable to the City’s federal programs.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assuran ce about whether material noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above occurred , whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion on the City’s compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and th erefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance w ill always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The ri sk of not detecting material nonc ompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal cont rol. Noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above is considered mate rial, if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a r easonable user of the report on compliance about the City’s compliance with the requirements of each major federal program as a whole.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the City’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. • Obtain an understanding of the Ci ty’s internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guid ance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.
Other Matters
The results of our auditing procedur es disclosed instances of noncomp liance which are required to be reported in accordance with the Uniform Guidance and which are described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs as ite m SA 2023-001. Our opinion on each major federal program is not modified with respect to these matters.
Government Auditing Standards require the auditor to perform limite d procedures on the City’s response to the noncompliance findings identified in our compliance audit described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. The City’s response was not subjected to the other auditing procedures applied in the audit of compliance and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the response. 8 Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal cour se of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance w ith a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or det ected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet impo rtant enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over complia nce was for the limited purpose described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over comp liance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance may exist that were not identified.
Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expres sing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the resu lts of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose. 9 Report on Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Required by the Uniform Guidance We have audited the financial statements of the gove rnmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remainin g funds information of the City as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes to the financial stat ements, which collectively co mprise the City’s basic financial statements. We issued our report ther eon dated November 30, 202 3, which contained an unmodified opinion on those financial statements. Ou r report includes a reference to other auditors who audited the financial statements of the City of Sa nta Clara Stadium Authority for the year ended March 31, 2023 and a reference to other auditors who audited the financial statements the Northern California Power Agency, Transmission Agency of Northern California and Sa n Jose-Santa Clara Regional Wastewater Facility and Clean Water Financing Author ity as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022, related to the calculation of the Investments in Joint Ventures, as described in our report on the City’s financial statements. Our report, in so far as it relate s to the results of the othe r auditors, is based solely on the report of the other auditors. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the basic financial statements. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for pur poses of additional analysis as required by the Uniform Guidance and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The info rmation has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financia l statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional proc edures in accordance with auditi ng standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the sc hedule of expenditures of federal awards is fairly stated, in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

Name of the contact person: Adam Marcus, Housing & Community Services Division Manager Corrective Action Plan:
The City has taken the appropriate actions to correct the issues related to the finding. In the City’s 2024-25 HUD Annual Action Plan, the City proposes the following activities to meet the HUD Timeliness Test at the beginning of May 2025:
Continue to maximize spending on public service projects in Fiscal Year 2024-2025 (approximately $150,000)
Increase the allocation for the Neighborhood Conservation and Improvement Program (NCIP) major single family home repair program from $352,000 to $500,000. With pandemic fears subsiding, residents are now open to having workers in their home. The NCIP now has a waitlist of residents wanting work completed on their home. NCIP major repair loans have historically been an efficient way to spend CDBG capital dollars.
Increase the allocation for the NCIP minor single family home repair program from $100,000 to $150,000 due to the program’s rising demand.
Allocate $600,000 for the construction of ADA curb ramps in partnership with the Department of Public Works.
In addition to the above actions, staff will continue to push forward the following four capital projects that are already in progress with the goal of distributing at least $1 million by the beginning of May 2025:
Liberty Tower two elevator upgrades (funded for $850,000) Bill Wilson Center elevator upgrade (funded for $266,000) City of

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on Purchase Orders with Sixty-3 Trucking, Dominguez & Sons Trucking, Inc., and Chris Wortman Excavation to Provide High-Side Dump Truck Hauling Services for the Cleanup Campaign
COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
The Department of Public Works (DPW) has conducted the annual Cleanup Campaign (CUC) since 1961. The primary mission of the program is to remove unwanted debris set out by about 33,000 households as safely and swiftly as possible. Based on recent figures, this program is disposing of approximately 5,000 - 6,000 tons of debris annually.
Each year, DPW utilizes contractors and as-needed employees, in addition to City maintenance staff, to successfully complete the CUC within a four-week timeframe. The majority of CUC debris collected is loaded into high-side dump trucks and transported to a disposal facility. DPW utilizes 24 high-side dump trucks to fully staff eight collection crews each year. DPW contracts with contractors to provide high-side dump trucks, as the City does not own or operate any such vehicles.
DISCUSSION
Pursuant to City Code Section 2.105.140(d), a formal Request for Bids (RFB) was conducted as the solicitation method for this procurement with award going to the lowest responsive and responsible bidders.
In December 2023, staff published the RFB for Annual Cleanup Campaign High-Side Dump Truck Hauling Services using the City’s e-procurement platform. Bidders were required to submit their fully loaded hourly rate, inclusive of the high-side dump truck and one driver, along with the number of high-side dump trucks they would have available for the CUC. Six responsive bids were received as listed in Table 1 below, in order from the lowest to the highest hourly rate.

Staff recommends awarding Purchase Orders to Sixty-3 Trucking, Dominguez & Sons Trucking, Inc., and Chris Wortman Excavation, as the lowest responsive and responsible bidders. Collectively, these three firms are able to provide the 24 trucks required by the City. The RFB included language allowing the City to issue multiple awards at its sole discretion, if determined to be in the City’s best interest.
Compensation under each Purchase Order is based on the hourly rates listed in Table 1 above.
Based on an estimated requirement of 171 hours per truck during the CUC, the maximum compensation is estimated at $78,660 for Sixty-3 Trucking; $320,625 for Dominguez & Sons Trucking, Inc.; and $109,440 for Chris Wortman Excavation. The total maximum aggregate amount for the three Purchase Orders is $508,725.
The Purchase Orders include prevailing wage requirements, and the initial term of the Purchase Orders is one year plus two one-year options to extend the term of the Purchase Orders, for a total of three years. The hourly rates are fixed for the first year. For the two option years, the hourly rates will increase by 3 percent, or the percentage change to the Department of Industrial Relations basic hourly rate set forth in its wage determination, whichever is greater on January 1 of each year.
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 aggregate amount to be paid to contractors under Purchase Order Agreements for high-side dump truck hauling services during the 2024 CUC shall not exceed $508,725. Funding for these Purchase Orders is available in the Solid Waste Fund’s FY 2023/24 Adopted Operating Budget.
Funding for the 2025 and 2026 CUCs is subject to future Council appropriations.
COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Finance Department and the City Attorney’s Office.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Authorize the City Manager to Negotiate and Execute a Facilities Solutions Agreement and Any Other Agreements or Required Actions to Rent Uniforms and Associated Facilities Items, Purchase Uniforms and Facilities Items, and Secure Associated Services from Cintas Corporation Using a Master Agreement with Lead Public Agency Prince William County Public Schools to Other Government Agencies Through Omnia Partners
COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
Silicon Valley Power (SVP) staff require uniforms to safely perform their work activities. Currently, Cintas Corporation (Cintas) supplies these rental uniforms as well as rental of rugs and mats, sale of items such as fire extinguishers, first aid kits, and rain gear, and associated services, such as, fire extinguisher inspection and maintenance of first aid kits. Staff previously entered into a facilities solutions agreement with Cintas using a cooperative purchasing agreement through OMNIA Partners. OMNIA Partners is an organization that brings together cooperative purchasing contracts for local government agencies. Cooperative purchasing agreements combine procurement requirements and purchasing power of several public agencies resulting in a larger solicitation that results in a more advantageous contract. This process also saves significant time when compared to a stand-alone bidding process because most contract negotiations have already been completed and a lead agency has completed a transparent and open bid, evaluation, and award process. The lead agency for the master agreement for this cooperative purchase is Prince William County Public Schools (Master Agreement).
DISCUSSION
Staff is recommending entering into a new Facilities Solutions Agreement with Cintas for the period beginning April 1, 2024. The Master Agreement is made available through OMNIA Partners and has been competitively solicited and publicly awarded by Prince William County Public Schools, VA serving as the lead government agency. Most terms and conditions are established under the Master Agreement and the Facilities Solutions Agreement addresses terms specific to the City such as high visibility and fire-resistant garments. This recommendation to use the Master Agreement is pursuant to City Code Section 2.105.270(c) which states that the City may, without observing formal bidding requirements, “contract with a vendor under a contract awarded using preestablished cooperative purchasing agreements, when such agreement resulted from a competitive bid process that meets or exceeds the City’s competitive bid process.” The Purchasing Division Manager has determined that the above-mentioned competitive process meets or exceeds the City’s process.
As the need for uniforms and related items are anticipated to exceed $250,000, staff requests City of Santa Clara Printed on 3/15/2024Page 1 of 3

24-36 Agenda Date: 3/19/2024
approval to negotiate and execute a new Facilities Solutions Agreement for the period beginning April 1, 2024, and ending on October 31, 2027. Staff requests further authorization to extend the Facilities Solutions Agreement, in the event the underlying Master Agreement is extended. Staff is recommending a new facilities solutions agreement instead of extending the existing agreement because Cintas has updated their Facilities Solutions Agreement.
Under the Facilities Solutions Agreement, the City will rent uniforms, mats, and rugs, and the City will also have the option to purchase fire extinguishers, first aid kits, rain gear and other facilities and uniform related items. The City will also have the option to procure from Cintas certain services such as fire extinguisher inspection and maintenance of first aid kits. The pricing for these items and services has already been established under the Master Agreement.
Staff recommends authorization for up to $1,500,000 for all items and services to be procured under the Facilities Solutions Agreement and Master Agreement. SVP’s anticipated need is approximately $300,000 per year.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to section 15378(b)(2) as the proposed procurement relates to continuous maintenance and administrative activities.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in Electric Utility Operating Fund budget for FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26. Funds for future years will be requested through the normal budget process.
COORDINATION

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on an Agreement with Alternative Energy Systems Consulting, Inc. for a Third Party Commercial Strategic Energy Management Program for Silicon Valley Power
COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clara’s Electric Department, Silicon Valley Power (SVP), has developed energy efficiency programs to benefit its commercial and industrial customers. These programs implement the City’s Public Benefits Program Policy Statement adopted by Council on May 12, 1998, and Public Utilities Code (PUC) Section 385 covering the Public Benefits Charge (PBC). Over the past several years, the state legislature, California Energy Commission, and environmental agencies have increased their pressure on publicly owned utilities, like SVP, to boost energy efficiency programs, with legislation pushing to double the amount of energy efficiency achieved in California.
Every four years, electric utilities in California are required to conduct a study to determine all economically feasible energy efficiency potential within their service territory. Based on SVP’s load profile, nearly all of its energy efficiency potential comes from business customers. SVP is required by state law to expend all PBC funds collected on programs and projects relating to energy efficiency, renewable energy, low-income, and electric technology research and development. For these reasons, SVP seeks to continue to enhance the business energy efficiency programs to address the statewide energy efficiency and greenhouse gas reduction goals.
DISCUSSION
Pursuant to City Code Section 2.105.140(c), the City conducted a formal request for Request for Proposals (RFP) with the award recommendation based on “best value.” In April 2023, staff issued the RFP for Third Party Energy Efficiency and Building Electrification programs, using the City’s e-procurement system. The City received proposals from the following firms:
· Alternative Energy Systems Consulting, Inc.
· ARCA Recycling, Inc.
A three-member evaluation team was formed to evaluate the proposals. Each team member independently evaluated and scored the proposals. Staff determined all proposals were responsive and met the initial pass/fail review of the stated minimum qualifications. Proposals were then evaluated for:
City of Santa Clara Printed on 3/15/2024Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™
24-1287 Agenda Date: 3/19/2024
· cost effectiveness of program delivery;
· ability to supplement existing programs with a new program offering; and · addressing underserved customer segments.
Interviews were held in June 2023 for further clarification.
Staff recommends award of contract to Alternative Energy Systems Consulting, Inc. (AESC) for a Third Party Commercial Strategic Energy Management Program as it meets the evaluation criteria set forth in the RFP. The term of the proposed agreement will be four (4) years. This will include three years of program activity as well as project initiation and project closeout.
AESC will deliver a Commercial Strategic Energy Management Program which will include a three- year Strategic Energy Management (SEM) and electrification program targeting elementary and high schools, colleges, community-based organizations, and public sector facilities. The program will be delivered through a combination of cohort-based training and workshops and one-on-one technical and behavioral coaching and consulting support. The delivery will include onsite activities and remote coaching to help participants actualize operational best practices and implement identified opportunities. The program’s primary objectives are to improve energy efficiency and achieve energy cost reductions through no cost and low-cost improvements and develop a continuous energy improvement program and ongoing monitoring. The program will also engage stakeholders at various levels within the participating organizations to incorporate strategic energy management into the company’s culture.
The total cost to implement the program is $580,334, plus $33,600 for additional services, for a total maximum compensation not-to-exceed $613,934. The AESC agreement will be time-and-materials with a not to exceed amount for program development and administration. It also includes fixed fees for each workshop and coaching, technical support, and energy modeling. Moreover, 10% ($58,033) of the base fee is contingent upon meeting the performance target of 841,500 kWh in savings.
Staff requests authorization for the City Manager to execute the agreement and negotiate and execute any amendments to extend the term as required and increase the maximum compensation by $50,000 to allow SVP to increase the number of program participants and extend the training and workshops for existing participants.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Staff recommends that the City Council determine that the proposed actions are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to sections 15301, 15302, and 15303 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations in that, as the proposed actions will consist of (1) the reconstruction, replacement, repair, maintenance, or minor alteration of existing facilities; and (2) the installation of small new energy efficiency equipment and devices.
FISCAL IMPACT
The maximum compensation under the proposed three-year agreement with Alternative Energy Systems Consulting is $613,934.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action to Approve Expenditures and Ratify an Agreement with Bartley Pump PM, LLC, dba PumpMan Norcal, for the Well No. 34 Rehabilitation Project for a Not-to-Exceed Amount of $323,834
COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clara Water & Sewer Utilities Department (WSUD) owns, operates and maintains groundwater wells that provide potable water for the City’s water distribution system.
Well No. 34 is located at 615 Moreland Way and was constructed in 2004. The well has a total depth of 840 feet below ground surface and consists of a 16-inch diameter steel casing with Ful-Flo louvered openings at several intervals. The well has experienced issues with excessive sand production and hydrogen sulfide odor upon startup.
Well No. 34 is considered critical infrastructure to providing and maintaining high quality water service to the City’s residents and businesses north of Highway 101 due to water only being supplied by the San Francisco Public Utilities Hetch Hetchy import and City Well No. 34.
In March 2022, WSUD published a Request for Proposal (RFP) for well condition assessment and engineering services during rehabilitation. Three proposals were received and independently evaluated by a three-member evaluation team. Kyle Groundwater, Inc. was selected and approved by Council to perform condition assessments on six (6) water wells, including Well No. 34.
The condition assessment of Well No. 34 was performed in October 2022 using downhole video and electro-magnetic defecto-scope (EMDS) surveys. The work necessitated removal of the existing pump and motor to access the well casing.
Based on the results of the condition assessment, Well No. 34 has been recommended for rehabilitation consisting of sediment removal, mechanical and chemical cleaning, and well re- development via focused intake pumping and surging.
DISCUSSION
The existing pump and motor were inspected when they were removed as part of the well condition assessment. The inspection showed that the existing motor used a mercury seal. Since the original installation, new environmental regulations have been passed which prevent the installation/re- installation of mercury sealed motors. As such, the well could not be returned to service until the motor was replaced and Well No. 34 was prioritized for rehabilitation based on being a critical supply infrastructure and to avoid additional costs for multiple removals and reinstallations of the pump.
In September 2023, work began to rehabilitate Well No. 34. PumpMan Norcal was selected through City of Santa Clara Printed on 3/15/2024Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™
23-1403 Agenda Date: 3/19/2024
an informal competitive bid process conducted by staff in which six contractors were notified by email and two bids were received by the due date, as follows:
Bidder Name Bid Amount
Pump Man Norcal $239,120
L.O. Lynch $269,650
At the time, the Purchase Order with PumpMan Norcal was not Council-approved because it was below the requisite threshold of $250,000 for Council approval.
Repair work commenced on September 18, 2023. Sand production encountered during the rehabilitation necessitated additional work scope and change orders. It was initially believed that voids may have developed in the well gravel pack due to improper consolidation during the original well construction which reduced the performance of the gravel pack in filtering out sand. Additional work was performed to aid in consolidating the gravel pack to remove the voids.
The project experienced inconsistent sand production during the next phase of the well rehabilitation, test pumping and surging. A dynamic video survey was performed which allowed the well to be inspected while pumping and a small hole was observed in the well casing at 418 feet below ground surface where material was entering. The well casing hole was patched. Test pumping and surging resumed. The additional work included consolidation of the existing gravel pack, additional test pumping and surging, dynamic video survey and patching of the well casing hole. The total amount of change orders was $84,714.
The total project cost including change orders is $323,834.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The actions being considered as a Class 1 Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15301(b) as it consists of maintenance of an existing publicly-owned utility with negligible or no expansion of existing or former use.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of the Well No. 34 Rehabilitation project is $323,834 and is funded by existing appropriations in the FY2023/24 Adopted Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget under New and Replacement Wells project in the Water Utility Capital Fund. A budget amendment is not required.
COORDINATION

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on Award of Master Agreements with National Plant Services, Inc., Pipe and Plant Solutions Inc., and Able Construction Group for As-Needed Sanitary Sewer Cleaning and Closed-Circuit Television Inspection Services for a Maximum Aggregate Amount Not-to-Exceed $5,000,000
COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
The City’s sanitary sewer system consists of approximately 288 miles of sanitary sewer lines and 5,800 manholes. The Water and Sewer Utilities Department (Department) uses contractors to provide as-needed sanitary sewer cleaning and closed-circuit television (CCTV) inspection services to routinely assess the condition of the sanitary sewer lines and associated infrastructure to make informed decisions on maintenance, repairs, and potential replacement of the sanitary sewer lines.
The City’s agreements with the current service providers will expire on June 30, 2024.
DISCUSSION
Pursuant to City Code Section 2.105.140(c), a formal request for Request for Proposals (RFP) was conducted with the award recommendation based on “best value.” In July 2023, staff issued the RFP for sanitary sewer cleaning and CCTV video inspection services.
The RFP was published on the City’s e-procurement system, and five proposals were received from the following firms:
· Able Construction Group
· Cobabe Brothers Plumbing
· National Plant Services, Inc.
· Pipe and Plant Solutions, Inc
· Pro-Pipe
The proposals were evaluated and scored independently by a three-member evaluation team against the criteria and weights published in the RFP. Evaluation factors included company qualifications, experience, and capability to provide the services. The evaluation team determined National Plant Services, Inc., Pipe and Plant Solutions Inc., and Able Construction Group were the most qualified to provide sanitary sewer cleaning and inspection based on receiving the highest overall scores.
Staff recommends entering into a master agreement with each of the three highest rated companies.
These companies will exclusively compete for work via a secondary competitive bid process, unless City of Santa Clara Printed on 3/15/2024Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™
23-1407 Agenda Date: 3/19/2024
the nature of an emergency prevents competitive bidding. In such cases, awards will be made on a rotational basis. A work order, pursuant to the terms of the master agreement, will be issued to the lowest bid for each project.
Under the proposed agreements, the contractors will assess the internal condition of sanitary sewer lines using closed-circuit television. They will conduct CCTV video inspections in accordance with the Pipeline Assessment Certification Program (PACP) and Manhole Assessment Certification Program (MACP) administered by the National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO) to standardize the rehabilitation and assessment of underground structures. The Department will utilize the CCTV inspections to evaluate the sewer system and prioritize repair/improvement projects.
The term of the proposed master agreements is five years through June 30, 2029.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered is categorized as a Class 1 Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15301(b) as it consists of maintenance of an existing publicly-owned utility with negligible or no expansion of existing or former use.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for the current agreement, which expires June 30, 2024, is appropriated in the Sanitary Sewer System Condition Assessment project in the Sewer Utility Capital Fund. Funding for the recommended next five-year term (July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2029) for the master agreements will be recommended as part of the FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26 Proposed Capital Improvement Program Budget which will be brought forward for City Council approval in June 2024. The maximum aggregate amount of all work orders issued pursuant to the master agreements shall not exceed $5,000,000.
COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Finance Department, the Department of Public Works, and the City Attorney’s Office.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Public contact was made by posting the Council agenda on the City’s official-notice bulletin board outside City Hall Council Chambers. A complete agenda packet is available on the City’s website and in the City Clerk’s Office beginning the Thursday evening before the Tuesday meeting.

LABOR COMPLIANCE ADDENDUM
This Agreement is subject to the requirements of California Labor Code § 1720 et seq. requiring the payment of prevailing wages, the training of apprentices, and compliance with other applicable requirements.
I. Prevailing Wage Requirements
1. Contractor shall be obligated to pay not less than the General Prevailing Wage Rate, which can be found at www.dir.ca.gov and are on file with the City Clerk’s office, which shall be available to any interested party upon request. Contractor is also required to have a copy of the applicable wage determination posted and/or available at each job site.
2. Specifically, contractors are reminded of the need for compliance with Labor Code § 1774-1775 (the payment of prevailing wages and documentation of such), § 1776 (the keeping and submission of accurate certified payrolls) and 1777.5 in the employment of apprentices on public works projects. Further, overtime must be paid for work in excess of 8 hours per day or 40 hours per week pursuant to Labor Code §1811-1813.
3. Special prevailing wage rates generally apply to work performed on weekends, holidays and for certain shift work. Depending on the location of the project and the amount of travel incurred by workers on the project, certain travel and subsistence payments may also be required.
Contractors and subcontractors are on notice that information about such special rates, holidays, premium pay, shift work and travel and subsistence requirements can be found at www.dir.ca.gov .
4. Only bona fide apprentices actively enrolled in a California Division of Apprenticeship Standards approved program may be employed on the project as an apprentice and receive the applicable apprenticeship prevailing wage rates. Apprentices who are not properly supervised and employed in the appropriate ratio shall be paid the full journeyman wages for the classification of work performed.
5. As a condition to receiving progress payments, final payment and payment of retention on any and all projects on which the payment of prevailing wages is required, Contractor agrees to present to City, along with its request for payment, all applicable and necessary certified payrolls (for itself and all applicable subcontractors) for the time period covering such payment request. The term “certified payroll” shall include all required documentation to comply with the mandates set forth in Labor Code § 1720 et seq, as well as any additional documentation requested by the City or its designee including, but not limited to: certified payroll, fringe benefit statements and backup documentation such as monthly Agreement with National Plant Services, Inc./Exhibit D-Labor Compliance Page 2 Rev. 07-01-18
benefit statements, employee timecards, copies of wage statements and cancelled checks, proof of training contributions (CAC2 if applicable), and apprenticeship forms such as DAS-140 and DAS-142.
6. In addition to submitting the certified payrolls and related documentation to City, Contractor and all subcontractors shall be required to submit certified payroll and related documents electronically to the California Department of Industrial Relations. Failure to submit payrolls to the DIR when mandated by the project parameters shall also result in the withholding of progress, retention and/or final payment.
7. No contractor or subcontractor may be listed on a bid proposal for a public works project unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code § 1725.5 [with limited exceptions from this requirement for bid purposes only under Labor Code § 1771.1(a)].
8. No contractor or subcontractor may be awarded a contract for public work on a public works project, unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code § 1725.5. Contractors MUST be a registered “public works contractor” with the DIR AT THE TIME OF BID. Where the prime contract is less than $15,000 for maintenance work or less than $25,000 for construction alternation, demolition or repair work, registration is not required.
9. All contractors/subcontractors and related construction services subject to prevailing wage, including but not limited to: trucking, surveying and inspection work must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations as a “public works contractor”. Those you fail to register and maintain their status as a public works contractor shall not be permitted to perform work on the project.
10. Should any contractor or subcontractors not be a registered public works contractor and perform work on the project, Contractor agrees to fully indemnify the City for any fines assessed by the California Department of Industrial Relations against the City for such violation, including all staff costs and attorney’s fee relating to such fine.
11. This project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations.
J. Audit Rights
All records or documents required to be kept pursuant to this Agreement to verify compliance with this Addendum shall be made available for audit at no cost to City, at any time during regular business hours, upon written request by the City Attorney, City Auditor, City Manager, or a designated representative of any of these officers. Copies of such records or documents shall be provided to City for audit at City Hall when it is practical to do so. Otherwise, unless an alternative is mutually agreed upon, the records Agreement with National Plant Services, Inc./Exhibit D-Labor Compliance Page 3 Rev. 07-01-18
or documents shall be made available at Contractor’s address indicated for receipt of notices in this Agreement.
K. Enforcement
1. City shall withhold any portion of a payment; including the entire payment amount, until certified payroll forms and related documentation are properly submitted, reviewed and found to be in full compliance. In the event that certified payroll forms do not comply with the requirements of Labor Code § 1720 et seq., City may continue to hold sufficient funds to cover estimated wages and penalties under the Agreement.
2. Based on State funding sources, this project may be subject to special labor compliance requirements of Proposition 84.
3. The City is not obligated to make any payment due to Contractor until Contractor has performed all of its obligations under these provisions. This provision means that City can withhold all or part of a payment to Contractor until all required documentation is submitted. Any payment by the City despite Contractor’s failure to fully perform its obligations under these provisions shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other term or condition contained in this Agreement or a waiver of the right to withhold payment for any subsequent breach of this Addendum.
City or the California Department of Industrial Relations may impose penalties upon contractors and subcontractors for failure to comply with prevailing wage requirements.
These penalties are up to $200 per day per worker for each wage violation identified; $100 per day per worker for failure to provide the required paperwork and documentation requested within a 10-day window; and $25 per day per worker for any overtime violation.

Further, overtime must be paid for work in excess of 8 hours per day or 40 hours per week pursuant to Labor Code §1811-1813.
3. Special prevailing wage rates generally apply to work performed on weekends, holidays and for certain shift work. Depending on the location of the project and the amount of travel incurred by workers on the project, certain travel and subsistence payments may also be required.
Contractors and subcontractors are on notice that information about such special rates, holidays, premium pay, shift work and travel and subsistence requirements can be found at www.dir.ca.gov .
4. Only bona fide apprentices actively enrolled in a California Division of Apprenticeship Standards approved program may be employed on the project as an apprentice and receive the applicable apprenticeship prevailing wage rates. Apprentices who are not properly supervised and employed in the appropriate ratio shall be paid the full journeyman wages for the classification of work performed.
5. As a condition to receiving progress payments, final payment and payment of retention on any and all projects on which the payment of prevailing wages is required, Contractor agrees to present to City, along with its request for payment, all applicable and necessary certified payrolls (for itself and all applicable subcontractors) for the time period covering such payment request.

7. No contractor or subcontractor may be listed on a bid proposal for a public works project unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code § 1725.5 [with limited exceptions from this requirement for bid purposes only under Labor Code § 1771.1(a)].
8. No contractor or subcontractor may be awarded a contract for public work on a public works project, unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code § 1725.5.

2. Based on State funding sources, this project may be subject to special labor compliance requirements of Proposition 84.
3. The City is not obligated to make any payment due to Contractor until Contractor has performed all of its obligations under these provisions. This provision means that City can withhold all or part of a payment to Contractor until all required documentation is submitted.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on Award of Contract for the Great America Parkway and Mission College Boulevard Intersection Improvements Project to O’Grady Paving, Inc. and Related Budget Amendment
COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
The Great America Parkway and Mission College Boulevard Intersection Improvements Project (Project) consists of widening the intersection at Great America Parkway (GAP) and Mission College Boulevard (MCB) to include additional left-turn and through vehicle lanes, traffic signal replacement, replacement of streetlights, pavement rehabilitation, bicycle lane improvements, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant curb ramps and corner bulb-outs, bus stop improvements and modifications to existing utilities including storm drain, and Silicon Valley Power (SVP) electrical and fiber optic facilities along GAP and MCB
. The Project also includes additional pavement rehabilitation on GAP from the intersection south to Highway 101 (Attachment 1).
On August 16, 2022 (Item 3.L), the City Council approved Amendment No. 1 to the Design Professional Services Agreement with WRECO for the Project to support modifications to the Project design based on a value engineering analysis which identified modified lane configuration options to decrease necessary roadwork (reducing costs by approximately $2.6 million) which would minimize traffic delays based on the latest traffic volume forecasts. The Agenda Report indicated that additional funds would be required in the Capital Improvement Program Budget to fund the full construction of the Project.
DISCUSSION
In December 2023, a competitive Request for Bids (RFB) for construction of the Project was published on the City’s bid notification system, Periscope S2G. The RFB was viewed by over 50 vendors, which included contractors, suppliers, plan rooms, builder exchanges, and more. Beyond the contractors and suppliers who viewed the RFB through Periscope S2G, additional vendors were also able to view the RFB as members of various plan rooms and builder exchanges. In addition, staff also reached out directly to distribute the RFB to contractors and vendors who have previously viewed similar projects in the past.
On January 29, 2024, the bid opening for the Project was held via video conference. Three bids were received ranging from $9,199,304 to $10,730,562. The Bid Summary is included as Attachment 2.
The lowest bid submitted by O’Grady Paving, Inc., in the amount of $9,199,304, is approximately 10 percent above the Engineer’s Estimate of $8,380,000.

24-78 Agenda Date: 3/19/2024
O’Grady Paving’s bid was reviewed by the Department of Public Works and the City Attorney’s Office for compliance with the terms and conditions of the bid documents and has been determined to be the lowest responsive and responsible bid. Staff recommends awarding the construction contract to O’Grady Paving, Inc.
The award of contract will allow construction to commence. The Project is estimated to be substantially complete by the end of 2025. The contract includes prevailing wage requirements.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Project being considered includes improvements to widen the intersection to include additional left-turn and through vehicle lanes, traffic signal replacement, replacement of streetlights, pavement rehabilitation, bicycle lane improvements, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant curb ramps and corner bulb-outs, bus stop improvements and modifications to existing utilities including storm drain, and SVP electrical and fiber optic facilities. The additional left-turn and through vehicle lanes received environmental clearance in accordance with CEQA as part of the City's CIP in 1998 and were also analyzed as part of the Environmental Impact Reports (EIR) for the 2009 Yahoo Campus Project (2009), Levi’s Stadium (2010), and Related Santa Clara projects (2016).
Additionally, the remaining improvements, including, but not limited to, pavement rehabilitation, utility relocation, sidewalk and pedestrian ramp improvements, and traffic signal modification scope of work, are 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 $9,199,304, plus a 10 percent contingency, or $919,930, for any potential change orders for a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $10,119,234. On August 16, 2022 (Item 3.L), staff informed Council that additional funds would be required in the Capital Improvement Program Budget to fund the full construction costs of the Project. Staff reviewed options to fund the remaining costs with Traffic Impact Fees, City regional transportation funds past developer contributions, as well as other relevant City funds.
Additional funding in the amount of $7,921,528 is required to completely fund the construction of the Project. The funding is recommended to be transferred from the following transportation related funds: $1,183,910 in Unallocated Traffic Impact Fees from the Traffic Mitigation Fund; $3,301,046 in Unallocated Regional Transportation Funds from the Developer Traffic Payments Fund; $221,000 reallocated from the Traffic Signal Enhancements Project in the Streets and Highways Capital Fund; and a total of $1,750,000 in the Unrestricted Fund Balance of the Streets and Highways Capital Fund, which is comprised of $750,000 of Unallocated Developer Contributions and $1,000,000 of Unallocated Vehicle Registration Fees. This Project also involves adjusting sanitary sewer manhole covers; removing and replacing water valve boxes; replacing SVP vaults, manholes, conduits and installing street light poles; and additional pavement rehabilitation work beyond the intersection improvements. To fund costs associated with that work, Staff recommends transferring funds from the Sewer Utility Capital Fund ($7,487), the Water Utility Capital Fund ($23,959), Electric Utility Capital Fund ($394,983), and reallocating funds from the Annual Street Maintenance and Rehabilitation project ($1,039,143).
