C. 271 POLITICAL CONTRIBUTION DISCLOSURE FORM
Public Agency Instructions
This page provides guidance to public agencies entering into contracts with business entities that are required to file Political Contribution Disclosure forms with the agency. It is not intended to be provided to contractors. What follows are instructions on the use of form local units can provide to contractors that are required to disclose political contributions pursuant to N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.26 (P.L. 2005, c. 271, s.2). Additional information on the process is available in Local Finance Notice 2006 -1 ( http://www.nj.gov/dca/divisions/dlgs/resources/lfns_2006.html). Please refer back to these instructions for the appropriate links, as the Local Finance Notices include links that are no longer operational.
1. The disclosure is required for all contracts in excess of $17,500 that are not awarded pursuant to a “fair and open” process (N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.7).
2. Due to the potential length of some contractor submissions, the public agency should consider allowing data to be submitted in electronic form (i.e., spreadsheet, pdf file, etc.). Submissions must be kept with the contract documents or in an appropriate computer file and be available for public access. The form is worded to accept this alternate submission. The text should be amended if electronic submission will not be allowed.
3. The submission must be received from the contractor and on file at least 10 days prior to award of the contract.
Resolutions of award should reflect that the disclosure has been received and is on file.
4. The contractor must disclose contributions made to candidate and party committees covering a wide range of public agencies, including all public agencies that have elected officials in the county of the public agency, state legislative positions, and various state entities. The Division of Local Government Services recommends that cont ractors be provided a list of the affected agencies. This will assist contractors in determining the campaign and political committees of the officials and candidates affected by the disclosure. a. The Division has prepared model disclosure forms for each county. They can be downloaded from the “County PCD Forms” link on the Pay -to-Play web site at http://www.nj.gov/dca/divisions/dlgs/programs/lpcl.html#12 .
They will be updated from time-to-time as necessary.
b. A public agency using these forms should edit them to properly reflect the correct legislative district(s). As the forms are county -based, they list all legislative districts in each county. Districts that do not represent the public agency should be removed from the lists.
c. Some contractors may find it easier to provide a single list that covers all contributions, regardless of the county.
These submissions are appropriate and should be accepted. d. The form may be used “as-is”, subject to edits as described herein. e. The “Contractor Instructions” sheet is intended to be provided with the form. It is recommended that the Instructions and the form be printed on the same piece of paper. The form notes that the Instructions are printed on the back of the form; where that is not the case, the text should be edited accordingly. f. The form is a Word document and can be edited to meet local needs, and posted for download on web sites, used as an e-mail attachment, or provided as a printed document.
5. It is recommended that the contractor also complete a “Stockholder Disclosure Certification.” This will assist the local unit in its obligation to ensure that contractor did not make any prohibited contributions to the committees listed on the Business Entity Disclosure Certification in the 12 months prior to the contract (See Local Finance Notice 2006-7 for additional information on this obligation at http://www.nj.gov/dca/divisions/dlgs/resources/lfns_2006.html ). A sample Certification form is part of this package and the instruction to complete it is included in the Contractor Instructions. NOTE: This section is not applicable to Boards of Education.

losure.
Any business entity that fails to comply with the disclosure provisions shall be subject to a fine imposed by ELEC in an amount
to be determined by the Commission which may be based upon the amount that the business entity failed to report.
The encl
osed list of agencies is provided to assist the contractor in identifying those public agencies whose elected official and/o
r candidate campaign committees are affected by the disclosure requirement. It is the contractor’s responsibility to ident
ify the specific committees to which contributions may have been made and need to be disclosed. The disclosed information may exceed the minimum requirement.
The encl
osed form, a content-consistent facsimile, or an electronic data file containing the required details (along with a signed cover sheet) may be used as the contractor’s submission and is disclosable to the public under the Open Public Record
s Act.
The contractor m ust also co mplete the attached S tockholder D isclosure Certification. Thi s will assist the agen cy in meeting its obligations under the law.

mbly or the Minority Leader of the General Assembly pursuant to section 16 of P.L.1993, c.65 (C.19:44A-10.1) for the purpose of receiving contributions and making expenditures.” Requirements for National Cooperative Contract

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action to Authorize the City Manager to Negotiate and Execute Agreements and/or Amendments to Existing Agreements as Required to Complete Emergency Transformer Replacement at Juliette Substation and Approve Related Budget Amendment
BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clara's Electric Utility, Silicon Valley Power (SVP), owns and operates the Juliette Substation (JUL), which provides electric service and power to Intel Corporation (Intel). Intel is one of SVP’s largest customers, and the Intel campus connects to SVP’s 60KV Northwest Loop.
SVP and Intel are interconnected between SVP’s 12KV transformers and the customer’s 12KV switchgear. Intel is responsible for maintaining their own switchgear and substation. As part of the electric system, SVP owns and is responsible for maintaining the 60KV Circuit Breakers and two (2) 60KV/12KV, 56MVA distribution transformers at JUL.
Intel’s Request to Re-rate Existing Transformers
In 2022, Intel requested that SVP conduct a re-rating of the existing 56MVA transformers at JUL.
Their requested rating is 62MVA, which represents a 10.7% increase.
These transformers were manufactured by the HK Porter Company in 1986. Delta Star Inc. (DSI) currently holds ownership of the design; therefore, SVP contracted with DSI to perform the re-rate study for the transformers located at JUL. Intel has or will pay for the study, the resulting inspections, and all the recommended upgrades.
In September 2022, DSI performed an initial inspection and assessment of the JUL transformers to determine whether they were in acceptable condition to be rated at a higher MVA. At that time, DSI informed SVP that the transformer inspection and field testing did not indicate any problem areas or concerns, and that the transformers could be re-rated to 62MVA. As a part of their deliverables, DSI also produced a re-rate engineering report, which outlined the new MVA rating for the existing JUL transformers, along with all of the required field upgrades.
In March 2024, prior to performing field upgrades to the JUL transformers, DSI performed an additional inspection. This time, DSI found various issues with the transformers, including:
1) Large gaps in the core steel and possible core joint overheating, as evidenced by high parts- per-million (PPM) concentration of hydrogen gas in the insulating oil. 2) Loose key spacers in the transformer’s high voltage winding. This can pose a critical challenge during a fault.
3) Low voltage winding leads and bushings that need to be replaced in order to increase the MVA City of Santa Clara Printed on 5/24/2024Page 1 of 5
powered by Legistar™
24-522 Agenda Date: 5/28/2024
rating of the transformers.
4) Other identified areas of concern are regarding the heating of oil and paper as shown by elevated gases in the insulating oil and the lack of margin in winding rises.
Due to these new findings from the latest field inspection of the JUL transformers, a re-rate is no longer feasible. DSI has recommended the following: (1) maintain the current transformers MVA rating; (2) increase monitoring, and (3) add cooling fans in an effort to extend the life of the aging transformers until their replacements are delivered. This will affect Intel’s request to meet their desired 62MVA demand as the transformers will remain at their current rating of 56MVA until replaced.
DISCUSSION
SVP, with concurrence from the Purchasing Division Manager, recommends that the City procure from DSI two (2) new 65MVA transformers for JUL without being required to engage in a formal competitive procurement process. Under Section 2.105.290 of the Santa Clara City Code, the City of Santa Clara (the City) may forgo competitive bidding when, “Due to circumstances beyond the control of the City, the time necessary to use the competitive procurement procedure would result in substantial economic loss to the City or substantial interference with a critical City operation.” These transformers require replacement to avoid a substantial interference with a critical City operation, namely, to provide electric service.
SVP conducted due diligence by directly reaching out to major transformer manufacturers, including Delta Star, Inc. (DSI), Prolec-GE Waukesha, Inc., Siemens Energy USA, and Hyundai Power Transformers USA (Hyundai), and received limited responses. Hyundai declined to bid on transformers of this size and other vendors have not yet provided bids for SVP’s consideration. In addition, the current market is facing significant supply chain issues, with many large vendors refusing to accept any new orders or unable to meet SVP’s delivery requirements.
DSI provided SVP with a quote for two (2) new 60KV/12KV, 65MVA transformers. DSI’s pricing is $9.3 million for both transformers, with the first delivery scheduled for the end of Q3/2025 and the second delivery promised for Q4/2026. This quote expires 30 days from May 1, 2024. DSI is the only local power transformer manufacturing company with a plant in San Carlos, CA, and a local transformer field services crew, and DSI is currently supporting SVP with similar projects. Staff is evaluating potential options included in the quote for additional services and recommended spare parts. This pricing does not include tax, therefore, staff recommends authorization for up to $11.5 million for these transformers including optional items, freight, and taxes.
In addition, staff requests authorization for the City Manager to negotiate and execute contracts, agreements, amendments to existing agreements, or issue purchase orders where appropriate for the purchase of all services necessary for the installation of the transformers. This includes (1) civil, foundation and overhead electrical work services, (b) design and construction of new foundation, oil containment, and electrical connections, and (c) any additional modifications and protection coordination work. Staff will authorize this work using existing agreements with engineering firms or through new agreements in alignment with the City’s purchasing policy and in the best interest of the City. Where construction services are needed, such services will be solicited and contracted pursuant to the City Charter.
The phased approach for replacing the JUL 56MVA transformers is as follows:
City of Santa Clara Printed on 5/24/2024Page 2 of 5
powered by Legistar™
24-522 Agenda Date: 5/28/2024
1. Phase 1 - Approve procurement of two (2) new transformers and issue a Purchase Order to secure delivery dates.
2. Phase 2 - Begin engineering design for civil, foundation, oil containment, overhead electrical and protective relays.
3. Phase 3 - Solicit and contract services from a general contractor to perform civil and electrical work outside of the transformer manufacturer’s scope.
4. Phase 4 - Field construction, installation, testing, commissioning, and energizing two (2) new transformers at JUL over multiple years.
Estimated Costs
SVP is anticipating additional costs related to the foundation design, civil work, overhead electrical work, and construction of the oil containment. Currently, the only known cost is that of the two (2) new 60KV/12KV, 65MVA Transformers without options. Civil and electrical work cost estimates are based on a similar scope of work at SVP’s Agnew Substation. Staff recommends approval of an additional $2,000,000 for contingency.
A preliminary estimate of the equipment and tasks that have been identified and their associated cost is as follows:
Equipment/Project Estimated Cost
Procurement of two (2) transformers including
selected options and sales tax
$11,500,000
Civil, overhead electrical and foundation work for
two (2) transformers
$ 1,500,000
Contingency $ 2,000,000
Total Estimated Cost $15,000,000
Contract Authority
Due to the critical need to replace the transformers at JUL as soon as possible, SVP recommends an expedited process that delegates authority to the City Manager to negotiate and execute new agreements and/or amendments to existing agreements for a total authorization of up to $15,000,000 for the specific purpose of completing all procurement of materials and services related to the two (2) new transformers at JUL. SVP will coordinate closely with the Purchasing Division of the Finance Department as well as with the City Attorney’s Office to assure procurement methods are aligned with the City Charter, the City Ordinance, City policies, and will evaluate the decision to execute new agreements and/or amendments to existing agreements to best meet the needs of the City. Approval of these recommendations will permit staff to execute documents needed to secure delivery timelines for these critical transformers and accelerate other actions associated with this critical project.
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 and 15302 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations as they authorize the replacement of existing infrastructure.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on an Agreement for Services with CRMOrbit, Inc. dba energyOrbit for a Rebate Processing System 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), primarily relies on manual processes for rebate management, while most electric utilities in California are using a rebate processing tool to increase capacity. This lack of a rebate processing tool limits SVP’s expansion and enhancement of its customer offerings.
California law mandates SVP to track and report on its use of public benefits funds for energy efficiency and low-income programs, as well as spending of funds received from the State of California for electric vehicles and chargers. SVP has largely used a combination of manual processes and third-party tools for tracking, and those methods do not scale easily with increased offerings or increased participation.
The Climate Action Plan states that the City’s main strategies for achieving carbon reduction in buildings and energy is to “shift to electric fuels in new and existing buildings to achieve net-zero carbon buildings” and “improve energy efficiency.” Customer programs can impact a customer’s decision to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon. Using a tool that is capable of appropriately scaling to meet customer offerings and participation is an important step to improving participation.
Staff identified a rebate processing tool as a critical necessity to align with the goals of SVP, City Council, and our customers. This tool will streamline processing, enable paperless transactions, and ensure timely payment of customer rebates. It will also allow SVP to fulfill state reporting obligations more efficiently.
DISCUSSION
In August 2021, Turlock Irrigation District (TID) published a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a rebate management system. Through the RFP process, energyOrbit was selected for award and TID subsequently executed an agreement with energyOrbit on December 14, 2021. The term of TID’s agreement is five years through December 14, 2026.
Staff is recommending entering into an agreement with CRMOrbit, Inc. dba energyOrbit (energyOrbit) for a three-year term beginning on or around June 1, 2024. This recommendation is pursuant to City City of Santa Clara Printed on 5/24/2024Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™
24-38 Agenda Date: 5/28/2024
Code Section 2.105.270(d) which states that the City may, without observing formal bidding requirements, contract directly with a vendor at a price and on terms obtained through a competitive bidding process of another public agency, 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; therefore, it is appropriate for the City to rely on TID’s competitive process and contract with energyOrbit.
To meet goals for enhanced programs around electrification and solar, SVP needs to significantly increase customer rebate processing capacity by the end of 2024. The energyOrbit rebate system is tailored for electric utility rebate tracking, payment, and reporting, and is currently used by several other utilities, including Roseville Electric. This software-as-a-service enables efficient, paperless processing and ensures timely payment of customer rebates. Additionally, it serves as a repository for various customer program information.
The proposed agreement with energyOrbit includes a one-time implementation fee and fixed subscription pricing for each year. The implementation payment schedule is tied to successful completion of key project milestones, with the remaining 10%, or $23,869.50, payable after the system goes live. The total implementation cost of the software is $238,695, of which a substantial portion is associated with initial setup. Initial setup involves creating process maps, cleaning up data, creating approval processes, and transferring historical data, among other things. Should SVP adopt another rebate processing system in the future, the implementation cost is expected to be greatly reduced because those initial setup activities will transfer over to the new system and those costs will not be incurred again.
Compensation in the agreement is outlined in Table 1 below.
Cost Element Cost
One-Time Implementation Fee $238,695.00
Year 1 Software Subscription Fee $ 30,245.00
Year 2 Software Subscription Fee $ 31,152.35
Year 3 Software Subscription Fee $ 32,086.92
Subtotal $332,179.27
Contingency $ 17,820.73
Not-to-Exceed Maximum Compensation $350,000.00
TID’s agreement with energyOrbit ends on December 31, 2026. Typically, when leveraging another public agency’s agreement, it is the practice of the Purchasing Division to align the terms with the other agency’s agreement. In this case, SVP staff with the concurrence of the Purchasing Manager, is requesting approval for a term through April 30, 2027, as the software subscription with energyOrbit requires a full three years. Additionally, staff is requesting authority to further extend the term of the agreement in the event that TID extends their term.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California City of Santa Clara Printed on 5/24/2024Page 2 of 3
powered by Legistar™
24-38 Agenda Date: 5/28/2024
Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to section 15378(b)(4) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations as the implementation of the rebate processing tool is an administrative activity which does not involve a commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
The compensation under the proposed contract with crmOrbit, Inc. is not to exceed $350,000 to provide licensing and implement a utility rebate processing, payment, and reporting solution.
Sufficient funds are available in the SVP Public Benefits Fund in the Electric Operating Grant Trust Fund.
COORDINATION

If the Disclosing Party fails to obtain such protective order or other remedy, or if the Disclosing Party waives compliance with the requirements of the preceding sentence, the Receiving Party will disclose only that Confidential Information that it is legally required to disclose, and will exercise commercially reasonable efforts, at Disclosing Party's expense, to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information so disclosed.
E. In the event the Receiving Party discloses, disseminates or releases any Confidential Information, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, such disclosure, dissemination or release will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement and the Disclosing Party may demand prompt return of all Confidential Information previously provided to the Receiving Party. As soon as the Receiving Party becomes aware that it has made an unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information, the Receiving Party shall take any and all necessary actions to recover the improperly disclosed Confidential Information and immediately notify Disclosing Party regarding the nature of the unauthorized disclosure and the corrective measures being taken. Each Party agrees that any breach of their confidentiality obligations could cause irreparable harm to the other Party, the amount of which would be extremely difficult to estimate. Accordingly, it is understood and agreed that monetary damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any material breach of this Agreement and that specific performance and injunctive relief in addition to monetary damages shall be appropriate remedies for any breach or any threat of such breach. The provisions of this Paragraph are in addition to any other legal rights or remedies the Receiving Party may have under federal or state law.
F. Contractor acknowledges that although City will endeavor to include in the Confidential Information those materials that are believed to be reliable and relevant, City makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on an Agreement with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. for Professional Services for the Santa Clara Vision Zero Plan
COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
Vision Zero has been publicized as a strategy aimed at eliminating traffic fatalities and severe injuries, while enhancing safe, healthy, equitable mobility for all. Initially introduced in Sweden during the 1990s, Vision Zero programs have since been implemented around the world and locally in California and Santa Clara County. The City’s Bicycle Plan and Pedestrian Master Plan have objectives that include studying the implementation of a Vision Zero Plan.
The United States Bipartisan Infrastructure Law established the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant program that provides funding opportunities to develop comprehensive safety action plans and implement projects identified within these plans. To achieve the goal of studying and implementing a Vision Zero Plan, the Department of Public Works (DPW) applied for a SS4A grant in September 2022. In February 2023, DPW was notified of a $450,000 grant award to help in developing a Santa Clara Vision Zero Plan (Plan). The City was also required to provide a 20 percent local match as part of the grant.
On December 5, 2023, the City Council accepted the SS4A grant funding to establish the Plan, authorized the City Manager to execute all documents related to accepting federal funding, and approved a budget amendment of $570,000 for the Santa Clara Vision Zero Plan project.
On January 5, 2024, the grant agreement with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) was fully executed.
The Plan will involve robust community engagement and a comprehensive citywide safety analysis to identify the locations, severity, demographics, and common collision types within the City. The Plan will develop a collision countermeasure toolbox, comprising programmatic measures and roadway design features to address traffic safety issues. Additionally, a list of potential traffic improvements will be developed and prioritized. Upon completion of the Plan, the City will have the opportunity to seek future grant opportunities to fund implementation under the SS4A program.
DISCUSSION
Pursuant to City Code Section 2.105.140(c), a formal Request for Proposals (RFP) was conducted, with the award recommendation based on “best value.” On January 25, 2024, the City published the City of Santa Clara Printed on 5/24/2024Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™
24-222 Agenda Date: 5/28/2024
RFP for professional services for the Santa Clara Vision Zero Plan on the City's e-procurement platform. In addition, staff directly sent notifications to civil engineering and public outreach companies obtained from the Caltrans Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) database.
The City received one proposal from Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (Kimley-Horn), which was thoroughly reviewed and evaluated by staff who checked references and determined that their proposal satisfied the RFP requirements. Kimley-Horn has extensive experience in leading roadway safety projects and similar Vision Zero efforts in California. The City conducted a Best and Final Offer (BAFO) to memorialize clarifications and provide a final opportunity for Kimley-Horn to revise their cost proposal, resulting in a cost savings of $27,000.
Staff recommends awarding an agreement to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. for the Santa Clara Vision Zero Plan. Under the proposed agreement, Kimley-Horn will provide professional services including (a) project management, (b) review of existing plans, policies, and standards, (c) analysis of existing conditions, (d) public outreach, and (e) preparation of a final project report. The agreement has a term of two years and a not-to-exceed maximum compensation of $556,536, which includes a contingency amount of $50,594. Payments are tied to successful completion of key tasks/deliverables.
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 a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City negotiated to receive a Best and Final Offer from Kimley-Horn to obtain the recommended not-to-exceed amount.
The proposed agreement is for a total not to exceed amount of $556,536, which was negotiated by the City during the BAFO process. This amount consists of $505,942 for basic services and a $50,594 contingency for additional services. Funding for the agreement is available in the Streets and Highways Capital Fund in the Santa Clara Vision Zero Plan project (Project 1268).
COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Finance Department and the City Attorney’s Office.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Public contact was made by posting the Council agenda on the City’s official-notice bulletin board outside City Hall Council Chambers. A complete agenda packet is available on the City’s website and in the City Clerk’s Office at least 72 hours prior to a Regular Meeting and 24 hours prior to a Special Meeting. A hard copy of any agenda report may be requested by contacting the City Clerk’s Office at (408) 615-2220, email [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> or at the

Rev. 07-01-18
EXHIBIT A2
CITY OF SANTA CLARA SS4A APPLICATION NARRATIVE
The following is the City’s submittal narrative:
E. Application Review Information
1. Selection Criteria
This section specifies the criteria DOT will use to evaluate and select applications for SS4A grant awards. The Department will review merit criteria for all applications. Each of the two grant types to be made available through the SS4A grant program, Action Plan Grant and Implementation Grant, will have its own set of application review and selection criteria.
i. Action Plan Grant Selection Criteria
For Action Plan Grants, the Department will use three evaluation criteria. The Department will evaluate quantitative data in two selection criteria areas: #1 Safety Impact; and #2 Equity. The Department will also assess the narrative for #3 Additional Safety Considerations. Costs will also be considered.
Selection Criterion #1: Safety Impact. The activities are in jurisdictions that will likely support a significant reduction or elimination of roadway fatalities and serious injuries involving various road users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, public transportation users, personal conveyance and micromobility users, motorists, and commercial operators, within the timeframe proposed by the applicant. The Department will assess safety impact using two quantitative ratings:
• The count of roadway fatalities from 2016 to 2020 based on DOT’s FARS data, an alternative traffic crash dataset, or a comparable data set with roadway fatality information:
30 • The fatality rate, which is calculating using the average from the total count of fatalities from 2016 to 2020 (based on FARS data or an alternative traffic crash dataset) divided by the 2020 population of the applicant’s jurisdiction based on 2020 U.S. Census population data.
(30/5 = 6)/127,647 = 0.0047% or 4.7 per 100,000 persons
Selection Criterion #2: Equity. The activities will ensure equitable investment in the safety needs of underserved communities in preventing roadway fatalities and injuries, including rural communities. The Department will assess the equity criterion using one quantitative rating:
• The percentage of the population in the applicant’s jurisdiction that resides in an Underserved Community Census tract.24 Population of a Census tract, either a tract that is Underserved Community or not, must be based on 2020 U.S. Census population data.
29,591 / 127,647 = 23.18%
Selection Criterion #3: Additional Safety Considerations. The Department will assess whether the applicant has considered any of the following in the development of the Action Plan:
• Employ low-cost, high-impact strategies that can improve safety over a wider geographical area;
• Engage with a variety of public and private stakeholders (e.g., inclusive community engagement, community benefit agreements, etc.);
Agreement with Kinley-Horn and Associates, Inc./Exhibit A2-City of Santa Clara SS4A Application Narrative Page 2
Rev. 07-01-18
• Seek to adopt innovative technologies or strategies to promote safety and equity; and • Include evidence-based projects or strategies.
• The applicant must address these considerations in narrative form.
The City of Santa Clara proposes to develop an Action Plan that will include a comprehensive citywide safety analysis to identify the highest types, locations, severity, and demographic users of collisions occurring within the City. A collision countermeasure toolbox will be developed based on recommendations within the AASHTO Highway Safety Manual and the Caltrans Local Roadway Safety Manual. The countermeasure toolbox will select low-cost, high-impact strategies that are based collision reduction factors and the evidence of high collision types and high severity collisions found in the safety analysis. These strategies, in addition to high-cost long term improvements, will be applied to high collision locations throughout the City.
The Action Plan countermeasure toolbox may include roadway design features that address safety as well as programmatic measures. These will be based on the latest technology available including passive pedestrian and bicycle detection, signal phase extensions, and traffic control improvements. Other innovative measures will include roadway markings, road diets, “quick-build” items, educational programs and enforcement campaigns. In addition, the countermeasure toolbox will also consider strategies based on past experiences by other jurisdiction Local Roadway Safety Plans, Vision Zero Plans, and Action Plans. These experiences will be used to develop the Vision Zero Action Plan for Santa Clara.
The Action Plan will also complete robust community engagement to engage various stakeholders. The Plan will use Community Workshops, Community Event Pop-ups Community Walk Audits, and Online Surveys to engage with public stakeholders within the community. The Plan will also use Technical Advisory Group Meetings, Business Group Meetings, and Safe Routes to School Meetings to engage with City staff stakeholders, private stakeholders, and the school district.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action to Authorize the City Manager to Negotiate and Execute Agreements and/or Amendments to Existing Agreements as Required to Complete Unanticipated Internal Inspection and Re-rate Engineering Study for Transformer Upgrades at the Kifer Receiving Station (KRS) and Scott Receiving Station (SRS) and Approve Related Budget Amendment
BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clara's Electric Utility, Silicon Valley Power (SVP), imports electric power generated outside of Santa Clara using PG&E interconnections primarily at three receiving substations within the City limits: Kifer Receiving Station (KRS), Scott Receiving Station (SRS), and Northern Receiving Station (NRS). These stations use multiple transformers to lower voltage from 115kV to 12kV. In addition, SVP’s distribution substations use transformers to step down sub- transmission (60kV) voltage to distribution level (12kV). Most of the power from PG&E transmission lines pass through six (6) large transformers, each with a 115kV/60kV 186MVA capacity, installed at NRS, KRS and SRS (two transformers per station).
As part of the several rebuild projects included in SVP’s system expansion plan, new 115kV/60kV 336MVA transformers will be installed at the three stations - two (2) transformers each at KRS and SRS and three (3) transformers at NRS. Until those projects are complete, the existing 115kV/60kV 186MVA transformers need to handle the increased demand.
SVP continues to explore options for providing additional power to serve existing and future customers and will study the feasibility of re-rating the existing115kV/60kV 186MVA transformers at KRS and SRS. This request is a result of the continuous growth of SVP’s electric load and supply chain issues affecting the re-build of NRS, KRS and SRS. The projected dates for energization/in- service of NRS, KRS, and SRS rebuilds are in fiscal year 2027/2028. Between now and the energization date for these receiving stations, staff recommends evaluating the re-rating of the existing transformers at KRS and SRS to provide additional capacity. A transformer re-rate evaluates modifications such as fuel type, exhaust, and other features to increase capacity of the transformer.
Providing additional capacity sooner will meet customer needs as well as result in millions of dollars in sales revenue.
SVP’s existing transformers are manufactured by:
1. KRS TA Transformer: ABB (acquired by Hitachi)
2. KRS TB Transformer: Trafo Union (trademark of Siemens Energy)
3. SRS TA and TB Transformers: North American Transformers (purchased by Waukesha Electric Systems, and then merged into Prolec GE-Waukesha, Inc.) City of Santa Clara Printed on 5/24/2024Page 1 of 4
powered by Legistar™
24-521 Agenda Date: 5/28/2024
All the original manufacturers of the transformers at NRS, KRS, and SRS have merged or been acquired by other companies and, as a result, there is no clear customer support provided to these legacy transformers.
DISCUSSION
SVP recommends an expedited process that delegates authority to the City Manager to negotiate and execute new agreements and/or amendments to existing agreements for a total authorization of up to $500,000 for the specific purpose of completing an analysis of improvements needed to increase capacity at KRS and SRS and to apply exceptions to competitive procurement requirements where applicable under City procurement ordinances. If improvements can be identified, it is expected that staff will return to Council with a request for up to $5.5 million to complete the work.
SVP will coordinate closely with the Purchasing Division of the Finance Department as well as with the City Attorney’s Office to assure procurement methods are aligned with City policies and ordinance including use of exception to competitive bidding pursuant to Section 2.105.290 of the Santa Clara City Code where appropriate. Section 2.105.290 states that a purchase is exempt from a competitive procurement process if it would not be useful or produce advantage to the City, and if due to circumstances beyond the control of the City, the time necessary to use the competitive procurement procedure would result in substantial economic loss to the City or substantial interference with a critical City operation and will evaluate the decision to execute new agreements or amendments to existing agreements to best meet the needs of the City. Approval of these recommendations will permit staff to execute documents needed to secure delivery timelines for long lead time equipment and accelerate other actions associated with this critical project.
SVP has reached out to major transformer manufacturer’s including Delta Star Inc. (DSI), Prolec-GE Waukesha, Inc., Siemens Energy USA, and Hyundai Power Transformers USA, Inc. (Hyundai).
Hyundai declined to offer their services for this project and recommended that SVP reach out to the original manufacturers. At this time, only DSI has provided quotes reflecting service needs and anticipated costs. DSI is the only local power transformer manufacturing company with a plant in San Carlos, CA, and a local transformer field services crew and DSI is currently supporting SVP with similar projects. The remaining vendors were non-responsive to our requests for information regarding re-rating or other options to increase the capacity of existing SVP transformers.
In addition to transformer inspection and re-rate studies, additional services will be required from engineering firms for protection and control settings. Staff will authorize this work using existing agreements with engineering firms or through new agreements where aligned with purchasing policy and in the best interest of the City. In the event that construction is required, such services will be procured pursuant to the City Charter.
Plan of Action
Staff have developed a detailed scope of work and there will be a phased approach for re-rating the existing 186MVA transformers:
1. Phase 1 - Internal inspection of existing 186MVA transformers and re-rate engineering study (current Council action).
2. Phase 2 - Field upgrade, installation and testing of the re-rated 186MVA transformers, as recommended in the re-rate engineering study from Phase 1 (possible future Council action).

Estimated Costs:
After completion of the re-rate study, SVP anticipates additional costs related to the findings of internal transformer inspections (phase 2 of plan of action above). Staff will return to Council with additional actions at that time.
A preliminary estimate of the additional tasks that have been identified and their associated cost is as follows:
Equipment/Project Estimated Cost
Internal Inspections and re-rate to four (4)
transformers (current Council action)
$ 500,000
Anticipated upgrades to four (4) transformers
(possible future Council action)
$3,500,000
Contingency (possible future Council action) $2,000,000 Total Anticipated Cost $6,000,000

The proposed actions do not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to section 15061(c)(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the inspection services will have a significant effect on the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
The recommended budget amendment below is needed to fully fund the transformer upgrade cost, as well as associated inspection, engineering, and construction services. Funding is provided by a transfer from the Electric Utility Fund Unrestricted Fund Balance to the KRS Rebuild and Replacement (CIP 2453) and SRS Rebuild and Replacement (CIP 2456) in the Electric Utility Capital Fund.

Action Authorizing the City Manager to Negotiate and Execute Agreement(s) with Vendor(s) for the Purchase of High Voltage Disconnect Switches, Station Service Voltage Transformers, Voltage Transformers and Capacitive Voltage Transformers, and Combination Revenue Metering Transformers to be Funded by the Electric Utility Capital Fund
COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
In November 2019, Silicon Valley Power (SVP) management met to discuss the strategic priorities for SVP and identified that the City of Santa Clara (the City) would experience significant electric load growth requiring SVP to develop a capital improvement strategy. Staff have determined the need for developing both near-term and long-term strategies to accommodate approved growth and develop the necessary infrastructure plan options.
On October 13, 2020, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute master service agreements with several engineering consultant firms to support SVP with system expansion, general consulting services, and plan implementation services (RTC # 20-854).
On April 6, 2021, staff presented a comprehensive review of upcoming load growth and capital projects to the City Council as part of the SVP Quarterly Report. The presentation concluded with the next steps, including the preparation of a system growth strategy to be presented at a future City Council meeting.
On September 28, 2021, the City Council accepted SVP’s Three-Year System Growth Plan Strategy (RTC # 21-871). This plan identified $300 million in proposed projects for both near-term and long- term capital improvement projects needed to support anticipated system growth and to replace end- of life equipment for system reliability.
On April 5, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution # 22-9069 adding new and updated connection and load development fees for SVP (RTC # 22-449). Additionally, on April 19, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution # 22-9081 adopting the City of Santa Clara 2022/23 Municipal Fee Schedule, which included new and updated connection fees and load development fees, effective July 1, 2022 (RTC # 22-99). These fees were further updated for fiscal year 2023/24 by the adoption of Resolution 23-9221 on April 18, 2023, and for fiscal year 2024/25 by adoption of Resolution #24- 9316. Such fees and their corresponding increases are intended to maintain fees at cost recovery levels necessary to support electric load growth.

24-453 Agenda Date: 5/28/2024
On November 15, 2022 (RTC # 22-1172), the City Council accepted SVP’s System Expansion Plan for the California Independent System Operator’s Transmission Planning Process FY2023/24 (SVP System Expansion Plan CAISO TPP FY2023/24). The purpose of this process is to project SVP’s load growth over the next ten years and apply it to an electric system model to simulate load growth impacts on SVP’s electric system.
On May 9, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution # 23-9223 regarding the City’s intent to issue tax-exempt electric system bonds for reimbursement of expenditures for certain capital improvement projects for SVP (RTC # 23-104), including load growth projects and associated equipment and material purchases.
On July 18, 2023, staff presented an update on these key near-term projects necessary for system growth to the City Council as part of the SVP Quarterly Report (RTC # 23-757). At the same meeting, the City Council approved amendments to several master service agreements including increases to cumulative maximum compensations (RTC # 23-737).
A critical element of the necessary load growth noted in these City Council actions is the need to purchase long lead items to support the system expansion projects. On October 10, 2023, the City Council authorized the purchase of up to twelve (12) high voltage transformers from HD Hyundai Electric America Corporation with a total not-to-exceed amount of $81,392,908 (RTC # 23-122). On May 7, 2024, the City Council approved the purchase of high voltage circuit breakers for an amount not to exceed $38,000,000.
This report now seeks authorization for the purchase of additional critical equipment essential for the Northern Receiving Station (NRS), Kifer Receiving Station (KRS) and Scott Receiving Station (SRS) system expansion projects, as detailed in this report. The procurement is also requesting the purchase of critical equipment for the Esperanca Substation (ESP) which is a general distribution substation to support development in north Santa Clara.
DISCUSSION
The following four procurements require expedited methods for acquiring critical equipment needed to meet the construction schedules of the expansion projects mentioned above. All procurements have adhered to or will adhere to the City’s purchasing policy, including formal notification through the City’s e-procurement system. The request to obtain City Council approval for these purchases is being made concurrently with the various steps of the procurement process.
High Voltage Disconnect Switches
Pursuant to Section 2.105.140(d) of the Santa Clara City Code (City Code), a formal Request for Bids (RFB) was conducted with the award recommendation based on the lowest responsive and responsible bidder(s).
On March 13, 2024, the City issued the RFB for High Voltage Disconnect Switches, which was published on the City’s e-procurement system. In addition, the City contacted several firms directly, informing them of the RFB and directing them to the e-procurement system if interested. A total of 45 companies viewed the RFB, and six bids were received by the April 24, 2024, deadline from the firms listed below with the manufacturer they represent appearing in parentheses:

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action to Authorize the Use of City Electric Forces for New Dark Fiber Installations at 6001 America Center Drive - 3080 Raymond Street
COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
Section 1310 of the Santa Clara City Charter (Contracts on Public Works) states “that every contract involving an expenditure of more than one thousand dollars ($1,000) for the construction or improvement (excluding maintenance and repair) of public buildings, works, streets, drains, sewers, utilities, parks and playgrounds shall be let to the lowest responsible bidder.” The section further states that “the City Council may declare and determine that, in its opinion, the work in question may be performed better or more economically by the City with its own employees, and after the adoption of a resolution to this effect by at least four affirmative votes, it may proceed to have said work done in the manner stated, without further observance of the provisions of this section.” In 2014, Silicon Valley Power (SVP) developed a position called Fiber Splicing Technician as an in- house position to primarily perform maintenance and repairs to meet the performance standards of fiber customers, which includes City departments and commercial customers. Fiber Splicing Technician activities include basic splicing and distribution changes to fiber optic cables. The technician can also perform duties such as pulling, laying, aligning, and positioning fiber optic equipment for new connections to the fiber network. Fiber Splicing Technicians also perform fusion splicing at building entrances and in maintenance spaces. Currently, SVP employs two Fiber Splicing Technicians.
DISCUSSION
Currently, the SVP fiber optic network serves SVP, other City departments, and various commercial customers. The Fiber Splicer Technician performs a variety of specialized activities from maintenance and repair to new or re-spliced interconnections to the SVP Fiber Enterprise. Each interconnection can be unique involving different hours of labor depending on the number of fibers required to be spliced and the particular location within the network. Technician time is tracked hourly and not on a per fiber basis.
Large or extensive projects involving extending fiber cable being laid along new paths or significant distances or adding conduit or related infrastructure are performed by a construction contractor through a public works contract. SVP spends up to $1 million per year on these public works contracts.
City of Santa Clara Printed on 5/24/2024Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™
24-384 Agenda Date: 5/28/2024
Staff believes that the work described below is better performed with City forces based upon the following factors: (1) the work is limited in size and scope; (2) City forces have knowledge and training in operating, maintaining and repairing the fiber optic system that can be leveraged to more economically perform this work; and (3) bidding out the work and contracting with a private entity would not likely result in a lower overall cost or time savings.
Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council declare and determine that City forces can better perform the following fiber optic projects and approve the use of City forces for such projects:
Estimate Number: FWM#1622
Location: 6001 America Center Drive - 3080 Raymond Street Type of Service: New Business
Description of Work: Splice, terminate and test fibers for a new point to point route from 6001 America Center Drive to 3080 Raymond for a fiber lease customer.
Estimated Cost: $12,604
Appropriation: Electric Utility Capital Fund (591) Project 2004 - Fiber Development, Design & Expansion
Source of Revenue: Developer Contribution
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Staff recommends that the City Council determine that the action being considered is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Section 15303 (Class 3 - New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, as the proposed work involves the construction or installation of a limited number of small fiber utility facilities.
FISCAL IMPACT
The funds to support the staff time for work performed by SVP and related construction materials for the work detailed in this report, totaling $12,604, are included in the Fiscal Year 2023/24 Budget, Fiber Development, Design, and Expansion project in the Electric Utility Capital Fund. All referenced work will be performed with City Electric Forces (SVP staff). Some work associated with encroachment permits may be performed by the Department of Public Works (DPW). DPW costs are recovered through payment of permit fees.
COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Finance Department and City Attorney’s Office.

Action on Recommendations from Governance and Ethics Committee to Amend Council Policy 046 entitled “Mayor and Council Public Records Policy” and Amend Email Retention from 90 days to two years for City Councilmembers
BACKGROUND
At the March 4, 2024 Governance and Ethics Committee (Committee), the Committee discussed the policy on email retention. This agenda item was carried over from the approved 2023 Governance and Ethics Committee workplan. Staff presented information on the current policies pertaining to public records and email retention for the Committee for review and discussion.
In addition to email retention, the Committee also discussed the options to consider retention of text messages on City devices for a specific duration of time. City staff is currently analyzing the capabilities to retain text messages and the costs and feasibility of those options. City staff will return to the Governance and Ethics Committee with an informational report pertaining to text messages as a public record and its retention policy at a future Committee meeting.
After a discussion on the retention of public records, the Governance and Ethics Committee recommends amending the email retention from 90 days to two years for the Mayor and City Councilmembers and updating Council Policy 046 to include these proposed changes. This item is being brought forth to the full City Council for consideration and approval as recommended by the Governance and Ethics Committee.
DISCUSSION
As background, there are two current policies that provide information on public records and email retention which include Council Policy 046 (“Mayor and Council Public Records Policy”) (Attachment 1) and City Manager Directive (CMD) 42 Email Retention Policy (Attachment 2).
Council Policy 046 (“Mayor and Council Public Records Policy”) Council Policy 046 was established to make clear what records created, received, or retained by the Mayor and the Councilmembers are considered public records available for disclosure and the policy outlines that any communications, including emails, texts, messages or comments on social media, to or from the Mayor or City Councilmember that pertain to the conduct of public business, regardless of whether or not they were created or sent to a private or public account, are public records that may be disclosed unless otherwise exempt from disclosure.

retention policy that documents and treats emails as “transitory communications.” In general, “transitory communications” include transmittal letters, confirmations of receipt, scheduling, instant messaging, voicemails, and other types of communications that don’t have a material impact on the conduct of City business. If, however, an email is more than “transitory” CMD 42 provides that such email should be retained and made available for disclosure in accordance with state law.
Government Code Section 34090 sets forth the minimum requirements for record retention for City records. Unless otherwise required by law, Section 34090 requires that emails related to City business be retained for a minimum of two years.
Both CMD 42, as applied to City staff, and City Council Policy 046, as applied to Mayor and Council, require that non-transitory emails relating to City business be retained for 2 years. Specifically, for Mayor and Council, the Records Retention Schedule identifies the records required to be retained and the retention period (Attachment 3). Under this schedule, the retention period for email records that fall within the Correspondence Record Description is two years.
California Public Records Act Requirements.
The California Public Records Act (Government Code Sections 7920.000 et seq (CPRA) requires the retention and disclosure of all “public records.” The CPRA defines a public record as, “any writing containing information relating to the conduct of the public’s business prepared, owned, used, or retained by any state or local agency regardless of physical form or characteristics.” The California Supreme Court relied on this definition to state that a public record has 4 aspects, “it is (1) a writing, (2) with content related to the conduct of the people’s business, which is (3) prepared by, or (4) owned, used, or retained by any state or local agency.” The CPRA applies to email messages on both city and personal accounts/devices and requires that proper identification and care of email be performed by the City Officials and staff.
Proposed Amendments for Council Policy 046
The proposed amendment to Council Policy 046 (Attachment 4) revises the 90-day email deletion policy to two-years for City Councilmember emails to minimize the risk of records being inadvertently deleted and maximize compliance with the requirements under the City’s retention schedule. This hold follows a two-year retention policy for all correspondence records as defined in the Mayor and City Council Retention Schedule. This amendment aligns with the recommendations from the Governance and Ethics Committee and the CPRA.
If the City Council approves the amended policy, the City will implement the process outlined below:
· Establish an automated two-year hold on all City Councilmember mailboxes and the general mailbox for the Mayor and Council. This action will retain all emails from the time the hold is enabled until the removal of the hold.
· Set a rule to automatically move emails (Inbox and Sent) which are two years or older to the deleted folder. After 21 days, the emails in the deleted folder will be permanently deleted. · All email records on the two-year hold will be searchable and available for Public Record Act requests.
· City staff is developing a program to provide the City Councilmembers periodic trainings on public record management, including what constitutes a “transitory” record and best practices for responding to public records act requests on personal devices.
