C. 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.

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.

Santa Clara International Swim Center
Executive Summary
In the Summer of 2023, the City of Santa Clara
initiated a competitive RFP process to determine
the most qualified consultant team to assess the
facilities and structural properties at the Santa
Clara George F. Haines International Swim Center
(ISC). The City interviewed several firms and
concluded that the LPA Team, consisting of LPA,
Inc., Aquatic Design Group, Inc., and SGH were
most qualified to provide a focused assessment of
the facility.
This Executive Summary provides the reader with
a condensed description of the findings of the
assessment. The assessment was limited in nature
and included review of the existing pool, pool
systems, pool deck, dive tower, existing support
buildings, and existing bleachers. No members
of the LPA team are risk management experts
and therefore this assessment is to provide the
City with information on the existing facility only
for their use and determination of facility use. We
reviewed code compliance for structural, fire life
safety egress analysis, plumbing code, and pool
specific requirements by the Health Department
or Building Code. Some nondestructive testing
was provided for select structural steel elements
within the facility. All observations around
accessibility compliance were excluded from this
assessment.
Although not part of our base services to advise
the City on whether to continue use or close the
ISC facility; based on our professional opinion
and visual observations, our recommendation
would be that the City should close the facility
immediately until major repairs or replacement
on all life safety and structural concerns noted in
this report are complete.
The ISC facility was constructed in 1967 to provide
competitive swimmers and divers in the Santa
Clara Valley with a complete venue for training,
practicing, and competing in water sports events.
The existing facility has a 50-meter x 25-yard
competition pool, a 6-lane x 25 yard instructional
pool and a diving pool with a diving tower that
accommodates five springboards and a 10-meter
diving tower. The facility has provided continuous
operations for 57 years. Even with maintenance,
in general, most outdoor swimming centers in
California require a major overhaul or full
replacement at about 45 to 50 years, even in
consideration of refurbishment or improvements
made throughout its life span.
Visual investigations of the existing facility were
initiated in late September 2023. Many elements
within the facility are beyond their usable life or in
a condition that does not allow use as originally
designed.
Below is a summary of the major deficiencies
observed:
1. Building A Main Building/Lock er Room
a. A show er addition was previously
condemned b y the city and should
be remo ved and replaced.
b. Roofs ar e beyond usable life
expectancy.
c. The building is structurally
unsound due to the lar ge
cler estory windows which prevent
adequat e lateral structural
support throughout. These
window s need to be removed and
infilled to tr ansfer shear loads.
d. Roofs/Ext erior Cladding/Windows
and siding all at end of lif e needing
replaced.
e. Building supporting walls and
columns ar e structurally
unsound and hav e significant
corr osion of metal components,
requiring significant r epairs and/
or replacement.
f. Some elements installed ar e not
part of any appr oved plans and do
not appear to ha ve been formally
pe rmitted, such as the tower to the
south of the exis ting building on
the roof.
2. Egress Review
a. Emergenc y egress from the
exis ting buildings and pool
spectat or stands and deck do
not meet California Building
Code r equirements for the size,
quantity, and har dware required
for c ompliant exits.
b. All exis ting gates that could be
used for e xiting are chained closed

f. The main access stairs for users
are c orroded beyond use and are
curr ently in an unsafe condition
for users.
g. Based on our prof essional opinion
after our field observ ations the
City should st op using the
dive t ower until such time major
repairs or r eplacement are
complete.
4. Pools Systems and Deck
a. The pool mechanical and lighting
sy stems have a variety of code
violations and e xcessive wear,
requiring significant c ost to
upgrade t o meet the building code;
for e xample, the 50-meter pool
and the training pool ar e
on the same pump and filter
sy stem as well as both the pool
deck and shell plast er are
delaminating and cr acking and
both need to be r eplaced.
b. The pool deck is sho wing signs
of deterior ation and distress in
various loca tions, demonstrating
that the deck is a t or beyond its
life expectancy.
c. Currently the C ompetition Pool
and Warm up pool ar e filtered
together which is no longer

International Swim Center
2023 Assessment of Existing Conditions
A visual investigation of the International Swim
Center was performed in the third quarter of 2023
to determine the facility’s ongoing viability as a
training and competition venue. The consulting
team utilized minimally invasive non-destructive
testing and construction material sampling to
determine the condition of selected structures
and improvements. This approach was utilized
to determine the condition without causing
a disruption to the operation of the facility to
repair the areas tested during a more exhaustive
destructive testing method. The structural
forensics team utilized ground penetrating radar,
carbonation analysis, and isolation water testing
to determine granular loss, cracking, curling/
cupping, flaking, weathering and dry rot. The
team peeled back some discrete areas typically
prone to deterioration such as eaves, valleys,
and near rain gutters. Shingles and/or roofing
materials were lifted to see underlayment,
determine remaining roofing and underlaid
sheathing, potential corrosion of steel fasteners in
roofing and structural systems for buildings, stair
and supports. A narrow steel probe was used at
exposed beams and/or purlins to determine the
amount of organic degradation due to mildew,
mold and resulting dry rot conditions that affect
structural integrity and load bearing capacities.
Structural steel columns were carefully observed
and measured to determine the amount (in
millimeters) of degradation and reduction of the
structural steel thickness due to corrosion of
exposed steel. The degradation was observed to
be substantial, as the report indicates. Structural
observations of horizontal and vertical structural
members were provided to determine relative
anticipated shear strength in the vertical wall
sections. In the event of earthquakes and/or high
winds a structure’s shear strength determines its
ability to withstand the shaking forces presented
in a seismic or lateral force event. The building’s
clerestory sections at the top were determined to
lack sufficient shear strength, as provided in the
report.
The architectural team made detailed
observations for pool code related items such as
minimum standards for health and safety require-
ments such as the pool water turnover rate, flow
rate volume requirements, filtering requirements,
mechanical systems sizing and control
requirements and monitoring requirements. The
observations and concerns with code issues are
significant and are documented in detail within
the report.
The architectural team analyzed the occupancy
and safe dispersal requirements of the project
site, buildings, and bleacher areas, utilizing
the capacities of visitors the facility is capable
of hosting for tournament types of events.
The code requires the designers to calculate
based upon the maximum possible capacity of
patrons at a typical swim meet, competition, or
special event as provided within the Assembly
Occupation designation. Utilizing the calculations
provided in the building code, the facility
was found to be deficient in allowing the safe
dispersal of visitors exiting the facility in the
event of a safety concern, as is the common
requirement for designing facilities with an
Assembly Occupancy classification designation.
Significant reconfiguration of the fencing, gates,
concrete paving, lighting and ADA path of travel
improvements to and in the parking lot would be
needed to comply with the code requirements.
The detailed calculations are contained in the
report.
The report that follows provides detailed
documentation of the findings of the architectural
team utilizing best practices and methodologies
for assessing the condition of the existing
International Swim Center facility. The planning
for assessing the future of the facility is a
combination of risk assessment and construction
cost analysis. Utilizing the first metric, risk
assessment, the architectural team has identified
significant building code concerns and safety risks
that should be addressed immediately if the City
desires to continue allowing the public to utilize
the facility. For example, the dive tower should
be either permanently closed or reconstructed if
diving is still a priority program for the community.
The structural integrity of the tower is such that
repairing it would not rectify the issues. Another
example is the significant code-compliance
issues with the pool mechanical piping systems,
equipment, pool shell/plaster and pool deck that
should be addressed to maintain public safety
with the use of the facility. These issues need to
be addressed now to mitigate public safety risks.

2.0 METHODOLOGY OF ASSESSMENT
The third example is the structural integrity of
the upper clerestory portions of the building that
could fail in a seismic event. This item would
require the replacement or removal of the upper
sections of the building. There are other examples
of risks to public safety contained in the details of
the report.
To help address the second metric, construction
cost analysis, it may be helpful to utilize an
example that the State of California Division of
State Architect (DSA) uses in the assessment
of costs for state-owned public facilities. The
City of Santa Clara is not obligated to utilize
the State’s method of cost assessment, but the
methodology can be instructional for evaluating
the City’s 57-year-old swim center because of
the similarities the State faces with facilities of
identical age. DSA has a rule that states, in the
event modernization costs exceed 40 percent of
the full replacement value of a structure or facility,
the owner of the facility shall fully upgrade or
replace the structure to current code. Owners of
State financed public facilities must calculate
the full replacement cost at today’s construction
cost, and multiply by .40 to determine if the
rough estimate of modernization and renovation
required by the architect’s assessment of the
facility exceeds that figure. It is very likely that will all the deficiencies found in our assessment that
the cost to renovate this facility would far surpass
the threshold requiring a full code update and/or
replacement of the facility in its entirety.

3 International Swim Center Swimming Pools Needs Assessment A. INTRODUCTION
Aquatic Design Group (ADG) visited the International
Swim Center in Santa Clara, California on September 27, 2023 to perform an assessment of the swimming pools,
as well as their systems and equipment. The systems
were in operation during ADG’s site visit. The facility has the following outdoor bodies of water:
• A 50-meter x 25-yard competition pool
• A 6-lane x 25-yard instructional pool
• A diving pool with a 10-meter tower and fi ve (5)
springboard diving boards
The following report includes a summary of the existing conditions, code violations, defi ciencies and proposed improvements for rehabilitation of the International
Swim Center and related equipment. The scope of
this report includes the swimming pools, dive tower
and mechanical equipment. It excludes the structural
integrity of the swimming pool shells, appurtenances,
and accessibility in the path of travel to the swimming pool area and within the adjacent buildings. Note
this also excludes evaluation of the building, building systems and building structural. It is possible that a
facility of this age could have underlying issues that
have gone unnoticed by staff and are not apparent to
a visual inspection. This report a/t_t empts to provide an accurate and realistic assessment of existing conditions.
Our observations are based upon the conditions we could observe, original drawings and information provided by
staff . This report should be read in full with no excerpts to be fully representative of the fi ndings and has been prepared exclusively for LPA, Inc. No liability is accepted for any use of or reliance on the report by third parties.
This report identifi es any violations of codes that were found. Some of these violations may currently be
operating on a grandfathered exemption, meaning
they complied with code when they were built but code
changes since make them not compliant with current
code. We therefore recommend that these issues
be reviewed on an individual basis to determine the
disposition and possible remedies for each
violation.
In addition to the code violations being of concern to
the County Environmental Health Services Department,
they may be of concern to the City from a risk mitigation perspective.
Not included in this report, but an important area to be reviewed, is the requirement for the entire facility to meet the American Disabilities Act (ADA). This includes access to the facility and restrooms, in addition to the swimming pools and deck. To comply, every swimming pool must
have a primary means of access into the water.
This can include a wheelchair ramp or an accessible li/f_t .
The scope of this report is for the swimming pools and
deck. Therefore, access from the street or parking areas to the International Swim Center and the adjacent buildings are not covered herein.
The estimated opinion of probable costs identifi ed in the itemized sections of “E” thru “F” of this report includes materials and labor for the repair, but does not include architectural or engineering design costs or complete
project so/f_t costs that may occur. Structural analysis of the pool structures, pool mechanical spaces, or other
spaces will require destructive testing which is not
included in the scope of this report.

8 International Swim Center Swimming Pools Needs Assessment E. CODE ITEMS
ADG has determined that the following twenty-one (21)
items at the International Swim Center do not comply
with current code standards. For each item within the
report a description of the condition is given along with a reference to the code that applies. A suggestion of
possible remedy and an opinion of probable cost is given for most items. The itemized estimates do not include
general conditions and other so/f_t costs that are typically added to any project for a total construction project cost.
In addition, many code items trigger the need to bring
additional code items into compliance simultaneously.
As such, it is diffi cult to approach the suggested code repairs as individual projects.

1.1 Comingled Pools:
The 50-Meter Pool and the Instructional Pool operate on the same recirculation system, despite being separate
bodies of water. California code requires each pool to
have its own recirculation system. The comingled pools
are in violation of CBC, Chapter 31B:
3123B.1 System description. Each pool shall be
provided with a separate recirculation system
designed for the continuous recirculation,
fi ltration and disinfection of the pool water. The
system shall consist of pumps, fi lters, chemical
feeders, skimmers or perimeter overfl ow
systems, valves, pipes, connections, fi /t_t ings and
appurtenances.
To separate the pools requires installing new piping
and corresponding mechanical equipment to operate
each individual pool. To accommodate an additional set
of mechanical equipment the layout in the mechanical
room needs to be reconfi gured. During this process
existing mechanical equipment that is dated could
be, and in some cases would have to be, replaced.
Additionally, this process would require draining of
the pools as well as demolition of the decks. Upon
completion of the install for new piping and mechanical equipment, the decks would have to be reconstructed
and the pools replastered and refi lled with water.
The following estimate is for new mechanical systems,
new underground piping, a new surge tank and removal
and replacement of the deck.

1.2 Turnover Rate for Pools:
The 50-Meter Pool and Instructional Pool's turnover rate should meet or exceed 6-hours to comply with code. The
pools were designed for a 7.6-hour turnover, which is in violation of CBC, Chapter 31B:
3124B. Turnover Time. The recirculation system
shall have the capacity to provide a complete
turnover of pool water in:
1. One-half hour or less for a spa pool; and
2. One-half hour or less for a spray ground; and
3. One hour or less for a wading pool; and
4. Two hours or less for a medical pool; and
5. Six hours or less for all other types of public
pools.
The pool systems should be revised to meet the code
required minimum 6-hour turnover rate. This can be
addressed when resolving item 1.1. See page 23 for the
project scope and cost to address this code item.
1.3 Gu/t_t ers for Pools:
The 50-Meter Pool and Instructional Pool's gu/t_t ers are operating below the gu/t_t er lip due to fl ooding when the pools are full of swimmers. As a result, the pools do not skim the surface water when the pools are not full of
swimmers. This condition is in violation of CBC, Chapter 31B:
3136B. Pool Skimming Systems. The pool shall be
equipped with one or more skimming methods
to provide continuous skimming of the pool
water and shall be capable of continually
withdrawing not less than 100 percent of the fl ow
rate.
The gu/t_t er and gu/t_t er piping should be modifi ed to meet the code requirement for constant skimming.
The following estimate is for gu/t_t er and gu/t_t er piping replacement for both pools (this item is included in the project scope on page 23).

1.4 50-Meter Pool Autofi ll System:
The 50-Meter Pool is fi lled with water manually. The lack of an automatic fi ll system is in violation of CBC, Chapter 31B:
3127B.3. Makeup Water. Automatic makeup water
fl ow controls with a manual override control shall
be provided to maintain the proper pool water
level.
An automatic fi ll system should be installed. The
following estimate is for an automatic fi ll system to
connect to the existing waterline piping (this item is
included in the project scope on page 23).
(Estimated Cost- $20,000.00)
1.5 50-Meter Pool Depth for Racing Platforms:
The 50-Meter Pool has racing platforms installed in
all 50-meter and 25-yard course locations. All of the
50-meter course starting platforms are installed where
the pool water depth is 4'-6". The majority of the 25-yard short-course starting platforms are installed where the pool water depths are 4'-6" to 6'-0". California Building Code requires a universal No-Diving symbol be placed
adjacent to every deck depth marker where the water
depth is 6-feet or less. See CBC, Chapter 31B:
3110B.5. No diving markers. For pool water depths
6 feet or less no diving markers with the universal
symbol of no diving...
The starting platforms should be removed from all
locations where the water is 6' deep or less to enhance safety and comply with code. Staff can remove the
starting platforms from the deck.

11 International Swim Center Swimming Pools Needs Assessment E. CODE ITEMS
1.6 50-Meter Pool Piping:
The 50-Meter Pool suction piping larger than 6-inches
is transite pipe, which contains asbestos. Asbestos
concrete, which was a common building material during
the time of initial construction, is now in violation of CBC, Chapter 31B and California Plumbing Code:
3125B.1.1. Materials. All piping, tubing and fi /t_t ings shall comply with the applicable standards for
potable water system materials set forth in
Chapter 6 of the California Plumbing Code.
A hazardous material abatement process for the piping
would be required during pool and deck demolition,
increasing costs. The following estimate is for hazardous material removal and disposal for the piping (this item is included in the project scope on page 23).
(Estimated Cost- $175,000.00)
1.7 Flow Velocity for Pools:
The 50-Meter Pool and Instructional Pool have a fl ow
velocity for suction piping of 9.07 Feet Per Second (FPS).
The fl ow velocity exceeds the allowances in CBC, Chapter 31B:
3125B.1. Line sizes. Pipes shall be sized so fl ow
velocity of piping systems including all pipes
and fi /t_t ings other than inlet devices or venturi
throats shall not exceed 6 feet per second in any
suction or copper piping and 8 feet per second in
any portion of the return system.
High fl ow velocities can erode pipes and either cause
leaking or replacement ahead of typical lifecycles. Old standards allowed PVC pipe velocities of up to 10 feet
per second. With extra diligence the system can continue to operate at the current velocity. When the opportunity arises to provide separate systems for each pool the
piping can change to have compliant fl ow velocities. The piping from the pools to the mechanical room as well
as inside the mechanical room would need replacing to
achieve fl ow velocities that do not exceed 6 FPS on the suction side and 8 FPS on the return side. This code item can be addressed when resolving item 1.1. The following estimate is for new piping (this item is included in the project scope on page 23).
(Estimated Cost- $150,000.00)
1.8 50-Meter Pool Floor Inlets:
The 50-Meter Pool has forty (40) fl oor inlets for
recirculation. California Code requires all swimming
pools that are 40-feet wide or wider use fl oor inlets
spaced evenly throughout the pool to assure eff ective
distribution of chlorine for proper disinfection and water quality. The swimming pool is 75-feet wide and greater
than 3,000 square feet. CBC, Chapter 31B states:
3137B.2.4 Floor inlets. Pools that are greater
than 40 feet (12,192 mm) in width or 3,000 square
feet (278.7 mm²) in surface area shall have fl oor-
mounted return inlets. The number of fl oor inlets
shall be in compliance with Section 3137B.2. All
fl oor inlet fi /t_t ings shall be located to provide
uniform circulation and shall be installed so as to
be fl ush with the surface of the pool bo/t_t om.
California Code requires two (2) inlets for the fi rst 10,000 gallons of water and one (1) inlet therea/f_t er per additional 10,000 gallons of water. CBC, Chapter 31B states:
3137B.2 Inlet fi /t_t ings. Each pool shall be provided with not less than two recirculation system inlets
for the fi rst 10,000 gallon capacity and one
additional inlet for each additional 10,000 gallon
or less capacity.
To comply with code the number of fl oor inlets would
be fi /f_t y-fi ve (55). To install fl oor inlets in the swimming pool the pool would have to be drained and trenches cut in the pool fl oor to install new under pool piping. Then fl oor inlets would be installed and the pool fl oor concrete replaced. In order to do the trenchwork the pool plaster would have to be removed and replaced. The pool would
have to be refi lled with water and chemically balanced.
The following estimate represents trenchwork, fi /f_t y- fi ve (55) new fl oor inlets and related piping, and pool fl oor concrete (this item is included in the project scope on page 23). It is not refl ective of pool plaster removal and replacement or costs associated with draining and
refi lling the pool with water (see page 23).

1.9 Safety Markers for Pools:
The 50-Meter Pool and Instructional Pool are missing
code-compliant “No Diving” graphic markers where the
water depths are 6-feet or less. The lack of proper “No Diving” graphic markers is in violation of CBC, Chapter 31B:
3110B.5. No diving markers. For pool water depths
6 feet or less no diving markers with the universal
symbol of no diving, which is a red circle with
a slash through it superimposed over the image
of a diver, shall be installed on the deck directly
adjacent to the depth markers required by
Section 3110B.4.1. No diving markers shall comply
with Section 3110B.4.4 (2-3).
Proper “No Diving” graphic markers can be installed
by bushing down deck concrete and laying down code-
compliant “No Diving” tile graphic markers. If the pool deck is to be completely replaced these safety markers
would be included in that cost, along with all required depth markers (see page 23). The following estimate
is for a retrofi /t_t ed install of “No Diving” tile graphic markers on the pool deck in locations where the water
depth is 6-feet or less.
(Estimated Cost- $8,000.00)
1.10 Instructional Pool Coping Stones:
The Instructional Pool coping stones are rough and
pi/t_t ed, creating places for bacteria and pathogens to grow. Code requires these surfaces to be non-porous to
prevent recreational water illness outbreaks. See CBC,
Chapter 31B:
3108B.2. Finish. The fi nished pool shall be
lined with a smooth waterproof interior fi nish
that will withstand repeated brushing, scrubbing
and cleaning procedures. The interior pool fi nish
shall completely line the pool to the tile lines,
coping or cantilevered deck.
The coping stones should be replaced. The following
estimate is for replacement coping stones (this item is included in the project scope on page 23).

1.11 Diving Pool Turnover Rate:
The Diving Pool's turnover rate should meet or exceed
6-hours to comply with code. The pool was designed for
an 8-hour turnover, which is in violation of CBC, Chapter 31B:
3124B. Turnover Time. The recirculation system
shall have the capacity to provide a complete
turnover of pool water in:
1. One-half hour or less for a spa pool; and
2. One-half hour or less for a spray ground; and
3. One hour or less for a wading pool; and
4. Two hours or less for a medical pool; and
5. Six hours or less for all other types of public
pools.
The pool system should be revised to meet the code
required minimum 6-hour turnover rate. This will require the removal of the surrounding pool deck, underground
piping, under pool piping and an update to the
mechanical equipment. See page 24 for the full project
scope and cost to address this code item.
1.12 Diving Pool Main Drains:
The Diving Pool main drains were not designed to be
hydraulically balanced as required by code. CBC, Chapter 31B states:
3162B. Anti-Entrapment Devices and Systems.
Every swimming pool constructed on or a/f_t er
January 1, 2010, shall have at least two suction
outlets per pump that are hydraulically balanced
and symmetrically plumbed through one or
more "T" fi /t_t ings, and that are separated by a
distance of at least three feet in any dimension
between the suction outlets.
New main drains and related under pool piping should
be installed. The following estimate is for new main
drains and related piping (this item is included in the project scope on page 24).
(Estimated Cost- $387,500.00)
1.13 Diving Pool Floor Inlets:
The Diving Pool has twenty (20) fl oor inlets for
recirculation and all of them are missing their adjustable fl ow inserts. California Code requires all swimming
pools that are 40-feet wide or wider use fl oor inlets
spaced evenly throughout the pool to assure eff ective
distribution of chlorine for proper disinfection and water quality. The swimming pool is 75-feet wide and greater
than 3,000 square feet. CBC, Chapter 31B states:
3137B.2.4 Floor inlets. Pools that are greater
than 40 feet (12,192 mm) in width or 3,000 square
feet (278.7 mm²) in surface area shall have fl oor-
mounted return inlets. The number of fl oor inlets
shall be in compliance with Section 3137B.2. All
fl oor inlet fi /t_t ings shall be located to provide
uniform circulation and shall be installed so as to
be fl ush with the surface of the pool bo/t_t om.
California Code requires two (2) inlets for the fi rst 10,000 gallons of water and one (1) inlet therea/f_t er per additional 10,000 gallons of water. CBC, Chapter 31B states:
3137B.2 Inlet fi /t_t ings. Each pool shall be provided with not less than two recirculation system inlets

(Estimated Cost- $95,000.00)
1.14 Diving Pool Underwater Lights:
The Diving Pool underwater pool lights are not working
on the north side of the pool. Staff report that this is due to compromised underground conduits being
broken possibly by se/t_t lement from the dive tower,
which does not allow new wires to be pulled through.
New underground conduits and underwater pool lights
should be installed to ensure the safety of patrons during early morning and evening hours of operation. The

1.15 Diving Pool Finish:
The Diving Pool fi nish is in need of replacement. The
surface is delaminating, creating a porous fi nish for
pathogens to grow. The aging fi nish is in violation of CBC, Chapter 31B:
3108B.2. Finish. The fi nished pool shell shall be
lined with a smooth waterproof interior fi nish
that will withstand repeated brushing, scrubbing,
and cleaning procedures. The interior pool fi nish
shall completely line the pool to the tile lines,
coping, or cantilevered deck.
The National Plasterers Association states that swimming pool plaster should be expected to last between 12-15
years under normal conditions. As plaster ages water
gets closer to the underlying structure of the pool shell and the result can be oxidation and deterioration of
the steel rebar which can increase the risk of leaks and structural failure of the pool shell. A failing pool fi nish may also harbor pathogens, which could aff ect the
health and safety of patrons.
The plaster must be replaced. The tile is recommended
to be replaced at the same time. A new fi nish for the
pool will improve safety for patrons and help protect
against leaks and structural concerns. The industry
standard for pool plaster is to use a quartz-based plaster with tile. The following estimate includes removal of
all existing previous pool fi nish to bare concrete and the installation of a new plaster and tile fi nish (this item is included in the project scope on page 24). The
following estimate also includes waterproofi ng the
surge tank, costs associated with draining and refi lling the pool with water, and costs to balance the chemicals.
Sometimes in older pools as existing plaster is removed underlying conditions can be worse than expected and
consequently increase both the scope and cost of a
plaster renovation due to concrete shell repairs.
(Estimated Cost- $337,500.00)
Alternative pool fi nishes to plaster and tile include
fi berglass, liners and Myrtha’s RenovAction system. If the City is interested in information for alternative fi nishes ADG can be consulted for details, including costs.
1.16 Diving Pool Coping Stones:

Chapter 31B:
3114B.1. General. A minimum continuous and
unobstructed 4-foot wide slip resistant,
cleanable, nonabrasive deck area of concrete or
like material shall be provided fl ush with the top
of the pool coping extending completely around
the pool, and the deck area shall further extend
4 feet on both sides and rear of any diving
board, fi xed disabled access assistance device or
slide and their appurtenances. The deck width
shall be measured from the poolside edge of the
coping lip.
These deck issues will worsen with time. An estimate for a pool deck replacement is provided, including demo of
the existing deck and a medium broom fi nish concrete

1.18 Diving Pool Safety Markers:
Waterline depth markers are missing from the waterline
tile in the Diving Pool. The lack of proper waterline depth markers is in violation of CBC, Chapter 31B:
3110B.4.2. Position. Where required by Section
3110B.4.1, depth markers shall be located in the
following positions:
2. For pools with perimeter overfl ow systems
where coping cantilevers over the gu/t_t er depth
markers may be positioned at the face of the
cantilevered coping, the back wall above the
gu/t_t er or immediately below the waterline which
will result in the depth markers being completely
submerged; or
Waterline tile depth markers can be installed by
removing and replacing waterline tiles. If the pool fi nish is to be completely replaced, these waterline tile depth markers are included in the cost estimate in section 1.15 (also included in the project scope on page 24). The

provided on each recirculation system accurate
to within 10 percent of fl ow and installed
according to the manufacturer's wri/t_t en
instructions with increments in the range of
normal fl ow.
Any fl ow meter purchased should be certifi ed, listed
and labeled to ANSI / NSF 50 by an ANSI-accredited
certifi cation organization. In addition, it is ADG's
recommendation to install the fl ow meters in pipe
locations with minimal fl ow distortion. Adequate
straight-run pipe, both upstream and downstream of the
fl ow meter, is recommended to maximize fl ow profi le.
Many manufacturers recommend placing a fl ow meter
a/f_t er a minimum of 10 pipe diameters of straight pipe and having an additional minimum 5 pipe diameters of
straight pipe a/f_t er the fl ow meter. It is also recommended that the fl ow meter be located a/f_t er the fi lter. The following estimate is for two (2) new digital fl ow meters certifi ed, listed and labeled to ANSI / NSF 50 (included in the projects scopes on page 23 and 24).

1.21 Pools Leaking:
There are known underground piping leaks, as reported
by staff . At least one of the leaks is apparent by the water seeping into the pool pump pit from the underground
pipes adjacent to the pit. The drawings show all large
pool suction pipes to be concrete asbestos transite pipe.
These pipes are notorious for leaking in pool applications a/f_t er many years of service. Both the 50-Meter Pool and the Diving Pool have construction joints between the
pool walls and the pool fl oor, which can also be another common source of pool leaks. The leaks should be
sourced and repairs made. The following estimate is for leak detection and repairs (this item is included in the project scopes on pages 23 and 24).

2.1 50-Meter Pool Finish:
The 50-meter pool plaster fi nish is starting to fail with small areas of delamination. This deterioration will
accelerate over time. The plaster fi nish replacement
should be planned for the upcoming years. The National
Plasterers Association states that swimming pool plaster should be expected to last between 12-15 years under
normal conditions. As plaster ages water gets closer to the underlying structure of the pool shell and the result can be oxidation and deterioration of the steel rebar
which can increase the risk of leaks and structural failure of the pool shell. The following estimate is for a new
plaster and tile fi nish for the 50-Meter Pool (this item is included in the project scope on page 23).

modern aquatic centers. Given that nearly every person
has a camera on them within their mobile phones there
is a concern for inappropriate photos taken through the windows. With modern underwater cameras training aids
and underwater viewing can be accommodated without
the need for underwater windows. The underwater
windows should be removed and eliminated. The

2.5 50-Meter Pool Steps:
The 50-Meter Pool has recessed steps installed in the
midpoint of the 50-Meter long walls, which could be a
hazard to someone using the lane for fl ip turns. These recessed steps should be removed and replaced with

2.8 Dive Tower:
The dive tower has been deteriorating for some time.
The structural viability of this tower will be addressed by others. In the meantime it should be noted that the
existing dive tower is constructed with 5-meter, 6.5-meter and 10-meter platforms. Current dive regulations require dive platforms of 5-meters, 7.5-meters and 10-meters.
2.7 Pool Heaters and Controllers:
Under current operations staff report that they have
had to replace the pool water heat exchangers three
(3) times in the last four years. The failure of these heat exchangers is typically due to chemical corrosion. New
chemical control and feed systems along with modern
titanium external heat exchangers should provide a
heating system with an expected life of 12 to 20 years. The following estimate is for replacement heating systems for the pools (this item is included in the project scopes on pages 23 and 24).
(Estimated Cost- $600,000.00)

Structural Assessment
1. Building A – Administr ation Building
a. The cent er Rotunda requires lateral
load resisting s ystem. Existing
corner wood pos ts are not
sufficient as later al load resisting
system.
b. Along the 4 wings of the building,
continuous cleres tory windows
occur along all perimet er walls.
As the result, the shear walls ar e
discontinued from the r oof
framing. Wood pos ts cantilever
over w all panels to resist lateral
loads from the roof . This type of
later al load resisting system is
not permitted in curr ent code.
Further revie w required to retrofit
the later al load resisting system.
c. Some exposed st eel posts are
badly rusted a t the base and shall
be replaced.
d. Press bo x structure above the club
office wing does not hav e defined

2. Diver T ower
a. St eel stair inside the dive tower is
sev erely rusted and some
connections ar e damaged. Stair is
unsafe t o use.
b. Concr ete curb adjacent to the stair
opening is crack ed and exposed
rebar is se verely rusted.
c. Diving platf orms at the start
of the cantilev ers have observed
crack s on the top surface
concr ete structural slab. Concern
that w ater will get into these
crack s and cause rusting to the
rebars. R ecommend removing
the floor co ver to further evaluate
the exis ting condition.
d. Basic structur al system is
reasonable . There are a lot of shear
walls f or the size of the structure.
Concr ete shear walls are in general
good condition.
ICS facility staff mentioned the
tower seems to have settled during
some recent earthquake. They
said they cannot pull the electric
cable to change the pool lights
along the wall adjacent to the dive
tower foundation. The facility staff
suspected the pile foundation
settlement obstructed the cable.
Some moderate cracking observed
on the concrete platform at the base
of the dive tower structure. These
cracks may indicate some settlement
of the structure. However, whether
the settlement is contributing to the
light issue is unknown.
3. Building B – Res troom/Concessions.
a. Exposed glue-laminat ed fascia
beams appears to be delamina ted
at man y places on the surface.
This member ma y not be structural

Architectural Assessment – Occupancy, Egress
Analysis, and Plumbing Code Compliance.
The Santa Clara International Swim Center is
a facility that was built in 1967. The original
constitution would have followed that year’s
respective building code requirements. Following
new and current codes, which are required
for the planning review, the building creates
several violations that trigger the facility to be
uninhabitable and unsafe until substantial changes
are made. Our current review process looks at
3 minimum factors that are requirements in this
upgrade: Occupancy, Egress, and Plumbing
Count.
The current occupancy, classified per the CBC
2022, categorizes the facility under the A3 and A5
occupancy. This creates a total occupant count of
5,224 occupants, inclusive of the bleachers, bodies
of water, and pool deck with minimal occupancy
within the supporting structures. Per the CBC
2022 This capacity at the main event area nears
the pools and bleachers requires a minimum of
4 complaint exits and a total combined exit width
of 87 feet spread throughout all exits.
Observation of the current conditions shows that
the facility has a total combined exit width of
roughly 45 linear feet, which is nearly half of the
requirements needed for an event. Of the 45 feet
only (2) gates of approximately 8 feet in width
have code-compliant egress gate and hardware
for pedestrians. However, two gates with proper
hardware are locked by chains and padlocks at
all times making them non code-complaint. The
remaining exits are not pedestrian gates and are
currently used like maintenance gates that are not
valid exits when closed.
Based on how the facility currently operates, the
main exit path is not in compliance with California
Building Code for safe emergency egress. All
users are required to enter and exit through a
single entry within the main entry building. In an
emergency, the main path of egress divides into
two directions, only to funnel the two paths back
into the buildings in one main exit path. This is not

compliant with code and a life safety hazard
during an emergency.
Should the two site exits off of the main pool deck
that have panic hardware be unchained during
use, then the pool deck is partially compliant,
allowing a maximum number of occupants
of 380 or less. If the gates are not unchained
during use, then the maximum occupancy of this
facility would be 49 occupants, utilizing the front
entrance only.
Based on the occupancy, the building code
requires that any event with less than 500
occupants would need to have two functional
and unchained exits with panic hardware. Having
more than 500 occupants would require three
exits with panic hardware and the proper widths.
Having 1,000 or more occupants would need to
have four exits minimum that have panic hardware
and the proper amount of exit widths.
Our findings show that it is needed to have
additional exit lengths to total 87 feet and a
minimum of four exits with panic hardware, per
the 2022 California Building Code.
Based on the current plumbing fixtures combined
from Main Building A Locker Rooms and the
supporting Restroom and Concessions, the
plumbing fixtures are greater than 50 percent
deficiency from what would be needed at full
capacity. Both the size of the restrooms and
lockers rooms and quantity of fixtures would
need to be increased to meet plumbing fixture
requirements. However, this is not possible in
the current footprint of the existing building
and will require additional square footage in
order to achieve the minimum plumbing fixture
requirements.

CODES & STANDARDS ROOFS
For purposes of this report, compliance with
current codes and industry standards will be used
to evaluate the condition and performance of the
Facility. We also reviewed and considered project-
specifi c documents, such as architectural drawings
and condition assessment reports prepared by
others. The documents we considered in our
analysis include:
• 2022 California Building Code (CBC)
• ASTM E2018-15, Standard Guide for Property
Condition Assessments: Baseline Property
Condition Assessment Process
• 2023 TCNA Handbook for Ceramic, Glass, and
Stone Tile.
• Facility Condition Assessment Report for
the International Swim Center prepared by
Kitchell for the City of Santa Clara, CA dated 31
January 2018.
• ASTM E797/E797M-21, Standard Practice for
Measuring Thickness by Manual Ultrasonic
Pulse-Echo Contact Method
• ASTM A168: Tentative Specifi cation for
Corrosion Resistant Iron-Chromium and Iron-
Chromium-Nickel Alloy Castings for General
Application
• ASTM D4580/D4580M-18, Standard Practice
for Measuring Delaminations in Concrete
Bridge Decks by Sounding
On September 27th, 2023, Christine Diosdado, P.E.
and Jesse Sipes, P.E. of SGH, conducted a visual
evaluation of roofs, exterior siding, fenestrations,
and shower rooms.
Building A contains low-slope, built-up roofs
with a gravel surfacing and steep-slope roofs
with architectural asphalt shingles. An octagonal,
steep-slope roof covers the main reception/
administration area and saw-tooth roofs extend
over the Men’s and Women’s Showers. The
remaining areas of the building (i.e., offi ces,
mechanical rooms, club offi ces, and the Men’s and
Women’s dressing rooms) are covered by a built-
up roof with a gravel ballast.
Other buildings on site (i.e., Buildings B, C, E, F
& G) have low-slope, built-up roofs with a gravel
surfacing.

3.0 ASSESSMENT FINDINGS
Site Observations & Code Violations
During SGH’s site inspection, we noted the following
conditions and code violations:
Low-Slope Roofs
• The low-slope roof at Building A has 16 “skylight”
openings with no cover, safety barrier, or safety
markings. These unprotected roof openings pose
a potential fall hazard to the ground level below
(Appendix A, Photo 1) and violate the current
Code: Section 3212 of the California Code of
Regulations (CCR), Title 8 requires roof openings
to be guarded by a cover or a guardrail on all
sides of the roof opening. This safety hazard is
exacerbated by the ease of roof-level access,
where a single fl ight of stairs leads directly to the roof (Appendix A, Photo 2). There are no locked
gates or restrictions to the roof level.
• The perimeter of the low-slope roof has no
safety barriers, tie-off s, or edge delineation. This
condition poses a fall hazard, especially given
the unrestricted, roof-level access. This condition
also violates the current code: Section 3210
of CCR, Title 8 requires guardrails along roof
edges more than 30 inches above the ground.
Alternatively, a zone along the roof edge can
be marked to discourage anyone from walking
within that zone, but zone marking alone is not
code-compliant.
• No walkway pads exist leading to the mechanical
equipment. Walkway pads delineate safe paths
of travel on roofs and reduce foot traffi c on the
roof surface, thereby reducing wear and tear.
• Approximately 40% of the built-up roof exhibits
signs of distress and inadequate drainage, such
as bar spots and cracked plies and asphalt.
• Debris (e.g., dislodged asphalt shingles,
swimming attire, wood crates) exists on the roof
(Appendix A, Photo 3).
• Missing pipe insulation.
• Sheet metal fl ashings, rooftop mechanical
equipment, and other metal roof components
exhibited moderate to severe corrosion and rust.
• Wide parapet caps and rooftop mechanical
chutes exhibited oil canning (i.e., visible,
wavy distortion that aff ects cold-rolled metal
products) (Appendix A, Photo 4).
• The roofs on Buildings B, C, E, F, and G also
exhibited signs of wear and tear, such as worn
areas and cracked plies.

3.0 ASSESSMENT FINDINGS
Steep-Slope Roofs
• Approximately 60-70% of the composite,
asphalt shingles at the saw-tooth roofs are
inadequately adhered and could be lifted with
relative ease. These poorly adhered shingles
occur along the rake edge and within the fi eld
of the roof (Appendix A, Photos 5 & 6). Algae
growth exists on the downslope edges of
asphalt shingles (Appendix A, Photos 7 & 8).
• Approximately 70% of the asphalt shingles we
checked at the octagonal, steep slope roof are
dislodged or inadequately adhered. Most of
the asphalt shingles on the hips are dislodged,
missing, or have signifi cant granular and •
The missing shingles on the hips align with the
ceiling cracks, nail pops, and bubbling in the
gypsum wallboard below (Appendix A, Photos
9 & 10).

3.0 ASSESSMENT FINDINGS
Service Life Assessment
According to the architectural drawings prepared
by Prodis Associates Architects dated 16 June
1999, the low-slope and steep-slope roofs over the
Men’s and Women’s showers and dressing areas
are identifi ed as a “new,” part of a 1999 expansion
project. Therefore, these roofs are 24 years old. The
remaining low-slope and steep-slope roofs, which
are labeled as “existing,” appear to be from the
original 1966 construction, making them 57 years
old. The typical lifespan for architectural asphalt
shingles ranges from 20 to 30 years . The typical
useful life for built-up roofs is 20 to 30 years, with
some lasting as long as 40 years.
Conclusions & Recommendations
The roofs at this Facility exhibit signifi cant distress and deterioration. Further, the roofs are beyond
their useful service life, particularly the low-slope,
built-up roofs. Lastly, the layout and confi guration
of the low-slope roofs near openings and along the
perimeter fail to comply with current safety codes
and standards. Given the current condition and
confi guration of the roofs and roof accessories, we
recommend wholesale removal and replacement
with code-compliant roofs.
• Sheet metal fl ashings, rooftop mechanical
equipment, and other metal roof components
exhibit moderate to severe corrosion and rust
(Appendix A, Photos 11 & 12).
• Sealant repairs at fl ashing were splitting and
deteriorated (Appendix A, Photo 13).
• Incomplete integration of roof fl ashing to
stucco-clad walls results in sizeable gaps and
exposed stucco lath and accessories (Appendix
A, Photo 14).
• Signifi cant wood decay occurs at common and
hip rafter exposed ends (Appendix A, Photos 15
& 16).

over metal lath over 2 layers of building paper. The
two layers of building paper are intended to serve
as the code-mandated, water-resistive barrier
(WRB) for the stucco wall assembly. The remaining
exterior walls including the T-1-11 siding of Building
A, which are labeled as “existing,” appear to be
part of the original 1966 construction, making them
57 years old.
Site Observations & Code Violations
During SGH’s site inspection, we noted that
several cuts had been made in the perimeter walls
outboard of the Men’s and Women’s showers and
were covered with plywood, painted to match the
surrounding stucco. To determine the as-built wall
assembly and the current condition of the exterior
wall components, we asked that the plywood be
removed. Upon removal of the plywood, we noted
the following conditions and Code violations:
Stucco Wall & Aluminum Framed Windows
• Signifi cant and extensive decay and cross-
sectional loss of the load-bearing wood studs.
• Extensive and signifi cant decay of the
exterior plywood sheathing behind the stucco
assembly.
• Extensive corrosion and signifi cant cross-
sectional loss of metal components (i.e., copper
pipes, metal tracks, nails, and metal lath).
The exterior walls of Building A are clad with T1-11
plywood siding, 3-coat stucco (cement plaster), and
roughcast stucco. The clubhouse offi ce and the south and north walls of the multi-purpose area are clad
with T1-11 plywood siding. The mechanical wing and
the west wall of the multi-purpose room are clad with
roughcast stucco, and the remaining exterior walls are
covered with standard, 3-coat stucco.
Buildings B, C, E, F, and G are also clad predominantly with stucco.
According to the architectural drawings prepared
by Prodis Associates Architects dated June 16th,
1999, the stucco walls enclosing Men’s and Women’s
showers and dressing areas are identifi ed as “new,”
built during the 1999 expansion. The wall details on
Sheet AD3 require the installation of cement plaster

3.0 ASSESSMENT FINDINGS
• The soil erosion behind the canopy bleachers
and around the canopy tower has caused vertical
off sets in the concrete walkway, excessive stucco
cracks at the canopy bleacher walls (Appendix
A, Photo 23) and shifted the walkway and the
roof deck downspouts (Appendix A, Photo 24).
• The weep screed abuts the concrete fl atwork
(Appendix A, Photo 25) or is less than 4 in. from
grade (Appendix A, Photo 26). Section 2512.1.2
of the 2022 CBC requires a 2 in. clearance
between a weep screed and hardscape and a 4
in. clearance between a weep screed and grade.
The current condition violates the code.
• Missing building paper layers, which means there
is no code-required, water-resistive barrier.
• Stucco cracks, spalls, and patches at all stucco-
clad buildings.
• Water stains on stucco soffi ts with no soffi t drip screed or other provision to weep.
• The aluminum windows and storefronts
at Building A show signs of wear and tear,
including deteriorated glazing seals and gaskets
(Appendix A, Photos 17 & 18).
• Signifi cant wood decay at exterior window trim
(Appendix A, Photo 19)
• Extensive corrosion and deterioration at exterior
hollow metal doors (Appendix A, Photo 20).
We also documented the condition of the stucco
walls at Building D, the Canopy Tower, and noted the
following conditions and code violations:
• Extensive cracks throughout the stucco wall
forming a checkerboard pattern (Appendix A,
Photo 21). We also noticed pronounced buckling
of the walls and large stucco spalls, most likely
from soil settlement in this general vicinity
(Appendix A, Photo 22).

3.0 ASSESSMENT FINDINGS
Service Life Assessment
The typical lifespan for T1-11 plywood siding
ranges from 20 to 30 years, assuming it is painted
every 10 years. The T1-11 siding at the ISC Facility
is well beyond its useful life, as evidenced by
the signifi cant decay and cross-sectional loss
described above. All T1-11 clad walls need to be
removed and replaced, along with any decayed
wood framing members within the wall cavity.
Aluminum-framed windows have a typical
service life range of 15-20 years or up to 30 with
proper maintenance . The aluminum windows
and storefronts are well beyond their useful life,
as evidenced by loose/short exterior gaskets
and deteriorated glazing sealant. The aluminum
windows and storefronts should be removed
and replaced with products meeting the water
penetration resistance required for this area and
application.
While stucco can provide as a serviceable cladding
for over 50 years if design and maintained
properly, the stucco walls at the Facility are
exhibiting signs of water damage, such as cracking,
spalling, staining, and mildew growth. We also
did not observe any water-resistive barrier in the
destructive opening through the stucco assembly.
If the other stucco-clad walls at Building A have no
water-resistive barrier), then all stucco-clad walls
will need to be removed and rebuilt.
SHOWER FACILITIES IN
BUILDING A
Building A contains Women’s and Men’s showers
which were built as part of the 1999 expansion
project. According to Kitchell’s Facility Condition
Assessment Report dated January 31st, 2018,
“dripping water was present at the bottom of
exterior walls by the showers of the addition,
indicating water leakage through the exterior
wall.” Previously, the City evaluated these reported
leaks and made several interior and exterior
wall openings at these showers. Based on their
observations of leaking pipes and signifi cant wood
decay of vertical load-bearing framing, the City
closed access to the Men’s and Women’s shower
T1-11 Siding
During SGH’s site inspection, we noted the following
conditions and code violations:
• The Clubhouse and multi-purpose wing walls
exhibited signifi cant wood decay forming large
holes in T1-11 siding. The holes in the T1-11 siding
expose a single layer of Type B building paper over
an open wood stud cavity.
• The wood trim throughout the complex,
particularly the T1-11 siding, which is signifi cantly decayed and covered with fl aking paint. We were
able to push the awl into the trim with relative
ease.

According to the architectural drawings prepared
by Prodis Associates Architects dated 16 June 1999,
the interior shower walls consist of ceramic tile over
a mortar bed, lath, and membrane on stud framing.
However, the type of membrane is not identifi ed in
the drawings.
Site Observations & Code Violations
During SGH’s site inspection, we noted the following
conditions and code violations:
Showers
• Sizeable cracks in the ceiling and wall fi nishes
(Appendix A, Photos 27 & 28) and cracks and
gaps within the tile assembly particularly at
inside wall corners and at tile ledges (Appendix
A, Photo 29). The location and pattern of
cracking indicate wall movement.
• Water stains and chipped paint exist on the non-

3.0 ASSESSMENT FINDINGS
Two layers of building paper fail to meet this
requirement.
Conclusions & Recommendations
The Men’s and Women’s showers in Building A
exhibit signifi cant structural distress and water
damage. Further, the exterior and interior wall
assemblies fail to comply with current building
code and standards. Given the current condition
of these showers, we recommend wholesale
demolition and reconstruction of these spaces
with code-compliant showers and perimeter wall
assemblies.
Metal Structures and Components
On September 27th, 2023, Alan Humphreys of
SGH, an AMPP-certifi ed Corrosion Engineer,
conducted a visual corrosion evaluation of the
metal structures and components at the Facility.
He also measured the thickness of select metal
components using an ultrasonic thickness (UT)
gauge to evaluate section loss due to corrosion.

water damage (Appendix A, Photos 30, 31 & 32).
• Debonded ceramic tiles expose a discolored and
discontinuous mortar bed (Appendix A, Photos 33
& 34)
• Pronounced effl orescence and discolored residue
exist along the base of the tile walls, around
shower escutcheon plates, and at tile grout lines
(Appendix A, Photos 35, 36 & 37) indicative of
water leakage through the tile assembly.
• At an interior wall opening, we observed ceramic
tile over a mortar bed over expanded wire lath
over 2 layers of grade D building paper. It appears
that these two layers of building paper were
installed as the shower membrane. Current shower
wall standards require a waterproofi ng membrane
inside the shower area extending the full height of
the tile assembly and water vapor management.

CANOPY BLEACHER STRUCTURE
3.0 ASSESSMENT FINDINGS
SGH inspected the canopy bleacher structure,
including the support columns, support truss
structure, canopy panels, and canopy tower. During
our visual inspection and UT testing, we noted the
following:
Canopy Columns
• The eight columns supporting the canopy truss
structure appear to be in good condition. The
base coating of these columns is well adhered
to the steel substrate, but the top coating is
delaminating in discrete, localized areas. We
did not observe any signifi cant corrosion of the
steel substrate, even at the low point where the
columns intersect the concrete bleacher steps. • UT measurements taken at the base of the eight columns (1 in. to 6 ft above the bleacher
steps) show no signifi cant variations in the steel
thickness with height or between the columns.
Refer to these UT measurements in Table 1.
These consistent thickness measurements
indicate little to no corrosion of the inner surface
of the tubular columns.
Canopy Support Truss Structure
• A truss structure supports canopy panels and
the now obsolete solar heating panels and
tubing. The truss structure consists of steel
I-beams and channels with welded and bolted
connections.

Canopy Panels and Gutters
The corrugated canopy panels are connected by
bolts to the bottom of the truss structure. We
inspected approximately 10% of the topside of the
canopy, and noted the following:
• The canopy panels appear to be in relatively
good condition with the original coating on the
top surface of the panels intact and no crevice
corrosion between the fasteners and roof
panels.
• The canopy support truss structure generally
appears to be in good condition. The base coating
is well adhered to the steel, but the top coating is
delaminating.
• We did not observe any signifi cant corrosion
(section loss) in the structural steel or fasteners in
the areas we inspected.

3.0 ASSESSMENT FINDINGS
• Infrequent and discrete locations in the
trough of the panels with through-thickness
corrosion occur. Leaves and other debris have
accumulated throughout the troughs of the
roof panels, but there did not appear to be a
correlation between debris accumulation and
corroded areas. The corrosion is highly localized
(less than 12 in.) with the coating immediately
adjacent to these locations in relatively good
condition.
• The gutters along both edges of the roof are
completely corroded with cross-sectional loss at
multiple sections.
Canopy Tower
The canopy tower (Building D) contains metal
components such as the staircase, railings, pipe
risers, doors, and frames. We noted the following:

■
3.0 ASSESSMENT FINDINGS
Lab Analysis
We conducted laboratory analysis on (top) coating
samples from a canopy support column and
canopy support truss structure. We used Energy
Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) to determine
the chemical composition of both coatings and
determine whether lead is present. We did not
detect the presence of lead in either coating.
Conclusions & Recommendations
The canopy support columns and canopy support
truss structure appear to be in good condition.
We recommend stripping the current coating and
recoating them with a two-part epoxy coating. We
did not detect lead in our coating analysis at these
locations. The localized corrosion on the canopy
panels is likely due to original local coating defects
rather than debris accumulation and ponding
water. These local areas could be cut out and
replaced, with the remaining panels stripped and
recoated. However, it might be more cost-eff ective
to replace these panels. The canopy gutters are
corroded past their useful life and should be
replaced with a non-metallic gutter system. The
canopy tower appears to be in good condition
and no work is required on the stairs or railings.
The corroded door and frames should be replaced
with components that are designed for external
exposure. The solar heating pipe risers should be
removed, and the local deformation of the roof
panels repaired.
• The two riser pipes for the redundant solar heating
system appear to have subsided into the ground.
These have, in turn, pulled down adjacent pipe
supports on the roof, resulting in deformation of
the roof panel connected to these supports.

• The dive tower staircase is in poor condition with
extensive corrosion, particularly on fl at surfaces
and crevices. Welds are also corroded with the
lower section more heavily corroded than the
upper section.
• Many of the original coatings have completely

Dive Tower Viewing Windows
We inspected the dive tower viewing windows,
located beneath the pool deck, and noted the
following:
• The window frames are not coated and appear
to be galvanized steel.
• The adjacent concrete is cracked with evidence
of water seepage and a small, active leak at
one location.
• The top and side elements of the galvanized
frames are heavily corroded.
Dive Tower Platform Railings
• The railings along the edge of the dive tower
platforms appear to be in good condition with
intact coatings and no visible corrosion. However,
we observed coating loss and corrosion at the
base of the railings at the plane of the pool deck.
• We were unable to conduct UT measurements
at these locations, but using a knife to remove
corrosion products we measured corrosion loss of
at least 1/8 in.

■
Conclusions & Recommendations
The dive tower staircase is heavily corroded and
should be replaced. The white corrosion products
that we observed suggest that underneath the
coating, the metal substrate is galvanized, which
is not a suitable coating for structures such as
these which are frequently wet and enclosed in
a humid environment. We recommend removing
and replacing it with a code-compliant structure
fabricated from a corrosion-resistant alloy, such as
316 stainless steel.
The railings on the dive tower platforms are
corroded at their base, which has likely aff ected
their structural integrity. The railings should also be replaced with a code-compliant structure fabricated
from a corrosion-resistant alloy.
The galvanized window frames at the viewing
area are heavily corroded due to water infi ltration
through the concrete. We recommend that once the
concrete has been repaired and waterproofed, these
frames are replaced with frames fabricated from a
corrosion-resistant alloy such as 316 stainless steel.
Building A Canopy Supports
We inspected the metal poles that are supporting
the Building A canopy and noted the following:
• The posts, particularly at deck level, exhibit
coating failure and localized corrosion of up to
50%.
Conclusions & Recommendations
The Building A canopy supporting poles have
corroded at several locations, especially at their
base, with thickness loss of up to 50%. We
recommend that these poles be replaced with
carbon steel posts coated with a 2-part epoxy
system

On September 27th, 2023, Anindya Dutta, Ph.D.,
S.E. and Megan Ladd, S.E. of SGH conducted a
visual evaluation of the concrete structures and
components at the Facility.
Concrete Pool Deck
The concrete pools and decks at Santa Clara Swim
Center were designed and constructed circa 1966.
Based on available drawings from the diving pool,
we understand the pool construction to consist of
varying thickness reinforced concrete walls with a
thickened concrete bond beam at the top of the
pool wall. The base of the pool is constructed of
a 6-inch reinforced concrete slab on grade with a
thickened edge at the wall support (Figure 1).
The decks surrounding the pools are constructed of
4- and 6-inch reinforced concrete slabs bearing on a
minimum of 4 inches of drain rock or gravel. The sole
section of the pool deck featuring an elevated slab is
the approximately 24 feet by 16 feet section located
to the east of the diving pool in the Viewing Room
Area (Figure 2).
The elevated slab spans between an upturned edge
beam and the bond beam at the top of the pool
wall, with a cold joint between the slab and the bond
beam as indicated in the original drawings (Figure 3)

• The topside of the elevated deck slab above
the viewing room has patching mortar applied.
SGH detected delamination of the patch
material when performing a chain drag.
• The underside of the viewing room elevated
slab has a large crack running longitudinally
along the slab. The crack is beginning to initiate
spalls, representing a safety hazard. Outside
of the spalled region, the underside of the slab
appeared in sound condition when we hit it
with a sounding hammer.
SGH Observations
During SGH’s site investigation, we noted the following conditions and code violations:
• SGH performed a chain drag at the topside of
all pool deck slabs. A chain drag test is a non-
destructive testing method used to evaluate the
presence of delamination in concrete structures.
The process involves dragging a chain across
the surface of the concrete and listening for
changes in sound, which can indicate areas where
delamination may be present.
• SGH performed a ground penetrating radar
(GPR) survey of select locations of the concrete
pool deck construction. GPR is a non-destructive
testing technique that uses electromagnetic waves
to investigate subsurface conditions and can be
used to detect the location and depth of rebar
within concrete.
• The typical pool deck slab on grade has signifi cant cracking uniformly. These cracks are likely due
to several reasons including soil compaction and
settlement cracking, drying shrinkage cracking due
to the wide spacing between control joints. These
cracks do not represent a life-safety hazard but
could present serviceability issues.

• Signifi cant effl orescence and/or chemical
leaching is evident on the underside of the slab.
• The exterior face (viewing room side) of
the pool walls and the top bond beam both
have moderate cracks exhibiting signs of
effl orescence and or chemical leaching. The
observed cracks align with reinforcement
locations, as determined by our GPR survey.
This indicates that moisture is likely reaching
the reinforcement, and corrosion of the rebar is
probable.
• The cold joint between the elevated slab and the

with signs of water intrusion between the
concrete joint.
• The metal frames for the windows inset into the

severe corrosion.
• The underside of the viewing room elevated slab
has a large crack running longitudinally along the

Service Life Assessment
Based on the date of initial construction, the pool
decks at International Swim Center are nearly sixty
years old. The expected lifespan of an exterior
exposed concrete structure ranges between
50 to 70 years. The expected service life varies
signifi cantly based on environmental conditions,
exposure to chemicals and water, maintenance
practices, and the quality of initial construction.
The initial construction quality of the pool decks
appears to be sound, with no observation of
exposed rebars (i.e., minimal concrete cover) or
poor compaction or consolidation of concrete.
However, there is signifi cant evidence of water
intrusion and chemical exposure at the viewing
room area.
Conclusions and Recommendations
The concrete pool decks at this Facility exhibit
signs of distress and deterioration. While the
cracking and settlement of the slabs on grade
do not present a life safety hazard, they may
pose serviceability issues. The current condition
of the elevated Viewing Room represents an
unsafe condition. Access to the Viewing Room
below or walking on top of the elevated slab
should be restricted. Given the condition of the
elevated deck, we recommend locally removing
and replacing the elevated slab and beam at the
earliest.

A combination of formed concrete bleachers
and aluminum seats supported by steel stringers,
constitute the stadium bleachers. The original
concrete bleachers, designed and constructed circa
1966, consist of reinforced concrete foundation
elements bearing on a base of compacted rock.
Based on available drawings (Figures 4 & 5), it
appears that the steps of the bleachers are not
reinforced in a way that reinforced concrete stairs
typically are (presence of L shaped rebars with a
nosing bar).
In 1981, the stadium seating was expanded with
additional concrete seats to match the existing
setup. Additional aluminum seats supported by steel
stringers and posts were also added. Lateral support
for this system was provided by cable braces
(Figure 6). The exterior perimeter of the stadium
bleachers was framed with light gauge metal stud
walls. Unfortunately, details for the stadium seating
expansion were unavailable in the existing drawings
available for review.
SGH Observations
During SGH’s site investigation, we noted the
following conditions:
• Both concrete and metal stadium seats are
present.
• The concrete slab and steps appear in fair
condition, with moderate settlement cracking
observed.
• The steel beam stringers, posts, and seat support
elements are painted and appear to be in sound
condition with no visible signs of corrosion.

Service Life Assessment
The expected service life of the concrete and
steel stadium structures varies signifi cantly
based on environmental conditions, maintenance
practices, and the quality of initial construction.
The initial construction appears to be sound,
with no observation of exposed rebar or poor
consolidation in the concrete elements. The steel
stadium bleacher framing also appears of sound
condition, with no observation of missing bolts,
inadequate edge distance, poor quality welds, etc.
If properly maintained, the stadium bleachers can
remain in service for a signifi cant period of time.
Conclusions and Recommendations
The construction of the stadium bleachers appears
to be in fair condition structurally. However, we
note that architecturally, there may be some
concerns. The settlement of the concrete stair
elements may constitute a trip hazard. If the
hazard is deemed signifi cant, the concrete steps
and slabs should be removed, soil compacted, and
replaced in kind.
Additionally, given the exterior condition of the
stadium, the non-galvanized light gauge stud
wall framing should be replaced with galvanized
construction.
Annual visual observations of the structural steel
elements should be performed to inspect for signs
of corrosion or deterioration.
• Many of the studs for the perimeter walls have
been replaced with newer galvanized studs,
however top and bottom tracks appear to be
original and exhibit signs of corrosion. These light
gauge stud and track elements are not structural
elements.

The stadium roof was designed and constructed
circa 1977. It measures approximately 380 ft by 85
foot in plan and is framed with steel trusses running
in both the north-south and east-west directions.
Built box-WF columns support the steel trusses,
these columns are founded on 48 in. diameter drilled
pier foundations (Figure 7).
Per the drawings, these drilled piers extend 12 ft into the soil, and the steel columns embed approximately
6 ft into the concrete foundation (Figure 8).

• The paint of the structural steel trusses is

corrosion of steel members observed.
• The metal deck appears to be in fair condition.
• We observed signifi cant corrosion of the metal
gutter at the edge framing of the roof; refer
to the “Metal Structures and Components:
section. The gutter is fabricated of a bent 18
Ga. plate and is not a structural element.
• While the steel structure appears of sound
construction, we note that the lateral system of
the stadium roof consists of a steel cantilever
column system. Per the current Building Code
(2022 California Building Code), “Steel Special”
Cantilever Column Systems are permitted
in Seismic Design Category-D for building
heights of up to 35 ft``. “Ordinary” Cantilever
Column Systems are also permitted up to
The double-angle truss braces are connected to the
double-angle top chords and double-channel bottom
chords via welded plate connections. A corrugated
metal deck serves as the roof deck and is fastened to
the underside of the bottom chord of the steel trusses.
Arrays of solar panels are present on the roof, which
were previously in use as part of a solar water-heating system for the pool but have since been disconnected.
SGH Observations
During SGH’s site investigation, we noted the following conditions and code violations:
• The structural steel members appear to be in fair
condition with minimal signs of local corrosion.

■
heights of 35 ft provided the roof weight does
not exceed 20 psf. Given the age of construction,
it is unlikely that the system meets the detailing
requirements of a special system and would thus
constitute as an ordinary system. Based on the
drawings and our observations, the roof weight
is within the limits (especially if the solar heating
elements and supporting steel is removed) and
the structure height is less than 35 ft. Thus, it
is an allowable lateral system per the current
Building Code. However, it is likely that the
diaphragm (deck), chords, and collectors would
require strengthening in order to meet current
design loads. The pier foundation system should
also be checked against updated geotechnical
recommendations to confi rm its adequacy.
Service Life Assessment
Provided proper maintenance practices, such as
inspections for corrosion and regular re-painting, the
stadium roof structure can remain in service for a
number of additional years.
Conclusions and Recommendations
We recommend that the Facility Ownership
engage a structural engineer to perform a detailed
seismic evaluation of the stadium roof structure, to
identify any structural defi ciencies, and to propose
strengthening remediations in order to bring the
structure into Code compliance. SGH has signifi cant
experience in this type of work.
Annual visual observations of the structural steel
elements should be performed to inspect for signs
of corrosion or deterioration.

Memorandum
Date: February 13, 2025
To: Mayor & City Council
From: Jōvan D. Grogan, City Manager
Subject: Update on International Swim Center Upgrades
This memorandum provides the City Council with an update on the efforts to mitigate safety and operational issues at the City’s International Swim Center (ISC) in order to partially reopen the facility. As you know, on January 29, 2025, staff invited the City Council and Aquatics User Groups to meet with Adams Pool Solutions (contractor) at the ISC to observe and discuss unanticipated (extensive) damage to the gutter infrastructure. At that meeting, the contractor expressed concerns regarding the age of ISC and its infrastructure, including pool deck, plumbing, and boiler systems.
As you know, the staff has been committed to exploring all opportunities to reconstruct or substantially renovate the ISC. This work has continued even as we launched the replastering project. Draining of training and racing pools and the contractor's work to remove the existing surface have revealed an option to expand the current project to accomplish a larger renovation of the facility. As a result, we are at a critical juncture in the replastering project, and staff is evaluating two options. Prior to updating the Swim user groups on this option on February 26, staff would like to brief the Mayor and Councilmembers. To this end, staff would like to set up 1-hour briefings ASAP. Please contact Carolyn McDowell to schedule a meeting – 408-615- 4892 or [email protected].
Below is a brief summary of the two options that will be discussed in the briefings.
Option A – Continue with the replastering of the training and racing pools, including the added remedy work to the gutter and apron. In this scenario, barring the discovery of further critical damage, the facility would reopen in late Spring 2025 with a maximum capacity of 200 people to train or swim recreationally. This scenario has $1.86M in budget and does not provide any remediation to the diving well and tower, infrastructure, pool deck, plumbing, boiler systems, administration building or locker rooms. This scenario is a short-term fix (3-5 years), which will need to be worked around, where possible when a long-term solution is funded and implemented.
Option B – Expand the scope of work to replace the pool decking, recirculation, plumbing, boilers, and perimeter gutter systems for all pools, including the dive well and tower. This option will reconfigure the racing pool depth, lighting, temperature and equipment to adhere to County of Santa Clara requirements, create operational City of
Santa Clara

Update on International Swim Center Upgrades

efficiencies and redundancies as well as meet the requirements for World Aquatics Competition Regulations for international competitions. This $4-5 M investment would extend the life of the facility to 25-30 years and take 10-12 months to complete (plans/permits (2-4 months), construction (8-10 months). Additionally, there are no occupancy restrictions with this option. Demolition, design and construction of new administration, locker room, and equipment storage building(s) can run concurrently, at an additional expense. Subject to further actions, this work can be funded with proceeds from the voter-approved infrastructure bond.
Please contact Carolyn McDowell to schedule a meeting – 408-615-4892 or [email protected].

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA
DECLARING AN URGENCY TO AWARD A PUBLIC WORKS
PROJECT AT THE GEORGE F. HAINES INTERNATIONAL SWIM
CENTER WITHOUT ADVERTISING FOR BIDS IN ACCORDANCE
WITH SANTA CLARA CITY CHARTER SECTION 1310
WHEREAS, the George F. Haines International Swim Center (ISC) was designed in 1965, constructed in 1966, and opened to the public on July 1, 1967; WHEREAS, the ISC features three pools (a 50-meter x 25-yard racing pool, a deep diving well, and a training pool), decks, mechanical circulation, filtration and heating systems, 3,000-seat viewing stands, roof, and several support spaces;
WHEREAS, in 2017, the Kitchell Report determined that the majority of the ISC was in poor to critical condition, with many components being deemed beyond their useful life; WHEREAS, the City contracted with LPA, Inc. to conduct an assessment of the ISC which revealed significant health and safety concerns;
WHEREAS, in January 2024, due to the health and safety concerns identified in the LPA report, the ISC was closed indefinitely;
WHEREAS, during the ISC’s closure the City has worked with local aquatic groups such as the Santa Clara Swim Club, Santa Clara Artistic Swimming, and the Santa Clara Dive Club to find alternate locations that meet their program needs, however alternate locations do not match what was offered at the ISC nor do such locations meet all of the aquatic groups’ needs; WHEREAS, since the ISC’s closure, the City has engaged in efforts to reopen the facility in a limited capacity by replastering the racing pool and training pool (the “Original Project”); WHEREAS, during the course of the City’s replastering project, the City’s contractor, Adams Pool Solutions, discovered unforeseen damage to the pools’ gutter and apron infrastructure and provided the City with potential options to remediate the facility; WHEREAS, City staff now recommends pursuing an expanded project scope to the Original Project that includes replacement of the pool decking, recirculation, plumbing, boilers and Resolution/International Swim Center Project Declaration of Necessity Page 2 of 3 Rev: 7/27/2023
perimeter gutter systems for all pools, replacement or refurbishment of the dive tower, and reconfiguration of the racing pool depth, lighting, temperature, and equipment (the “Project”); WHEREAS, there is a critical need to act expeditiously to implement the Project in order to mitigate the negative impacts of the ISC’s closure on the City and local aquatic groups; WHEREAS, Santa Clara City Charter Section 1310 authorizes the City Council to award a public works contract without advertising for bids if the City Council deems the work to be of urgent necessity for the preservation of life, health or property; WHEREAS, several programmatic, financial, and social impacts on the City and local non-profit aquatics groups justify a need to issue a contract award for the Project without advertising for bids; and
WHEREAS, the Project contract award is proposed for Adams Pool Solutions, a contractor previously selected pursuant to a competitive bid process to do the Original Project work, and a contractor that has satisfactorily performed a substantial number of project scopes involving similar work for the City on other City aquatic facilities over the years.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY OF SANTA CLARA AS FOLLOWS:
1. The City Council hereby deems the work implementing the Project to be of urgent necessity for the preservation of life, health, and property based on the following declaration of facts:
A. For local aquatic groups and their participants:
(1) They are experiencing significant on-going disruptions to programming schedules due to the lack of a consistent space since the ISC’s closure. (2) Alternate locations do not match what was offered at the ISC (e.g., bodies of water/depth, platform volume and heights, ability to offer daily programming, exhibitions, meets, shows, camps, swim lessons, etc.) which place aquatic groups at a significant disadvantage financially and programmatically, and which hinders the City’s ability to attract tourism to the area and collect user fees for capital improvements and maintenance of the Resolution/International Swim Center Project Declaration of Necessity Page 3 of 3 Rev: 7/27/2023
facility.
(3) Increased travel time to and from alternate sites presents substantial challenges and risks for families (e.g., additional time on the road and reducing time for homework, dinner, and other commitments, that are important to the health and well-being of parents and children alike).
(4) Movement of equipment from site to site causes increased wear and tear and the need to accelerate standard replacement schedules, increasing costs. (5) Financial strain on organizations due to increased pool rental costs increase membership dues and create financial barriers for families. (6) The prolonged closure of the ISC diminishes the ability of local aquatic groups to prepare athletes to collegiate programs, world class athletes to national, international and Olympic teams as well as professional shows.
(7) The ongoing closure of the ISC creates uncertainty on the long-term viability of the aquatic user groups based overextended operation restrictions.
B. For the City and users of the ISC generally:
(1) City has experienced a dramatic impact in its ability to deliver core health and wellness recreation aquatic programs, such as lap swimming and drop-in swimming for City residents.
(2) In 2022, the last year of uninterrupted ISC operation, the City served over 20,000 participants for these services. Since the 2024 ISC closure, the City has served less than 1,000 participants for the same services as alternative facilities are inadequate to meet the demand and need for such services.
(3) The lack of availability of the ISC to support core health and wellness recreation aquatic programs has, and will continue to have until re-opened, a material adverse impact on the public health and well-being of Santa Clara residents.
2. In light of the foregoing declaration and determination, the demonstrated capacity and Resolution/International Swim Center Project Declaration of Necessity Page 4 of 3 Rev: 7/27/2023
qualifications of Adams Pool Solutions to do the Project work on reasonable market terms, and any and all other evidence and testimony presented in the record of the proceeding with respect to the Project, the City Council hereby waives the standard requirements under Charter Section 1310 that would otherwise require advertising for bids for the award of the Project, thereby allowing for the award of the Project contract to Adams Pool Solutions without advertising for bids.
3. Effective date. This resolution shall become effective immediately.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Update on Measure I - Santa Clara’s Public Facilities and Infrastructure Bond Measure Work Plan, Implementation Schedule, and Request for Direction on the Appointment Process and Terms for the Measure I Bond Compliance Oversight Committee
BACKGROUND
On November 5, 2024, voters in the City of Santa Clara approved ballot Measure I, the Public Facilities and Infrastructure Bond Measure. This general obligation bond authorizes the issuance of $400 million to help address over $600 million in unfunded infrastructure needs, including aging fire stations, storm drain systems, and aquatic facilities. City staff have identified priority projects within the Expenditure Plan (Attachment 1), and the bond funding will provide a clear path forward for making essential repairs and improvements across Santa Clara.
The plan includes the following specific projects and estimated delivery costs. The project areas are:
· Fire Stations and Emergency Response ($142,235,450)
· Parks, Libraries, Senior Center, and Aquatics Facilities ($115,258,750) · Stormdrain System Improvements ($46,000,000)
· Police Facilities ($43,987,500)
· Streets and Transportation ($41,170,000)
· Historic Buildings and Beautification ($9,200,000)
DISCUSSION
The $400 million bond marks a significant milestone for the City and its ability to make significant capital improvements throughout the City. The City is working on several initiatives to support efforts to advance Measure I projects. Below is a list of ongoing activities and a detailed strategy for moving the Measure I program forward.
Measure I Leadership Team
The City Manager has established an internal leadership team to oversee the Measure I program, consisting of the Capital Projects Program Manager, the Director of Public Works, and the Finance Director. This team is responsible for providing oversight, making key decisions, and setting the strategic direction for the Measure I program.
The City is currently hiring a Capital Project Program Manager to oversee the implementation of Measure I infrastructure projects. This role will coordinate across multiple departments to manage project objectives, priorities, schedules, and budgets. Additionally, the Program Manager will provide regular updates to the City Council, ensuring transparency and highlighting the impact of each City of Santa Clara Printed on 4/4/2025Page 1 of 6

25-412 Agenda Date: 4/8/2025
initiative. The recruitment period closes on April 18.
Department of Public Works (DPW)
The Director of Public Works and the Public Works team will play a vital role in coordinating and implementing Measure I projects. Working closely with the Capital Projects Program Manager, the Department of Public Works will collaborate with various departments to ensure efficient project execution. They will also hold regular meetings with project teams to monitor progress, address challenges, and keep initiatives on track.
Bond Administration Team
The Director of Finance will lead the bond administration team, overseeing the timing and issuance of bonds, fund budgeting, debt repayment, and the tracking of revenues, encumbrances, and expenditures, all while ensuring compliance with state and federal regulations. Staff will work closely with the bond administration team to facilitate project approvals and ensure timely reimbursements to the Department of Finance for bond-related expenditures. In preparation for the Measure I Bond, City staff recommended and the City Council appointed Jones Hall, A Professional Law Corporation-a nationally recognized bond counsel firm-to serve as bond counsel, and Public Financial Management to serve as municipal advisor for the bond election and subsequent issuances. Both firms play a crucial role in supporting the Bond Administration Team.
Measure I Bond Compliance Oversight Committee
As required by Measure I, the City is establishing a Bond Compliance Oversight Committee (Committee) to ensure transparency and accountability in the implementation of Measure I projects.
The role of the Committee is to:
1. Ensure that project implementation aligns with all bond measure requirements, including the terms of the Expenditure Plan.
2. Review and report on annual audits.
3. Review and provide recommendations to the City Council on any proposed amendments to the Expenditure Plan.
4. Inform the public about the expenditure of bond proceeds.
Per the Measure I Ordinance, Attachment 2, the Committee will consist of nine (9) members selected through a lottery process and appointed by the City Council. The Council's appointment serves as a ratification of the lottery process and confirmation that the selection aligns with the criteria outlined in the ordinance. The Committee will include:
· Seven residents of the City. No application or appointment criteria was provided for in the Ordinance.
· One large business representative and one small business representative, neither of whom must be residents but must be owners or employees of businesses headquartered within the City.
· Business representatives must not be employed by or have previously worked for a firm that provides services to any professional sports teams within the City.
Additional Considerations for the Committee
The City seeks further direction regarding the lottery process and term limits:
City of Santa Clara Printed on 4/4/2025Page 2 of 6
powered by Legistar™
25-412 Agenda Date: 4/8/2025
1. Citywide vs. District Lottery Process: The ordinance requires that seven resident members be chosen by a lottery method, but it did not designate additional requirements. As with our other commissions, City Council should determine if the lottery will be structured with district seats (i.e. six (6) district seats and one (1) citywide seat, which aligns to how the City Council is structured), or if all seven (7) seats will be chosen irrespective of district residency.
2. Term Limits: The proposed term structure follows the City's policies and practices with other commissions, allowing members to serve two full four-year terms. Also consistent with City policies and practices, to ensure continuity and prevent all seats from being vacated simultaneously, initial appointments will be staggered as follows:
· Two-year term for representatives from Districts 1, 3, and 5, and Small Business Representative
· Four-year term for representatives from Districts 2, 4, 6, the at-large seat, and Large Business Representative
Those members serving an initial two-year term will be eligible to serve up to two additional four-year terms.
The City is currently recruiting members for the Committee, with the recruitment period concluding on April 29th. The lottery is anticipated to be conducted in May, with City Council confirmation expected in early June. The City Council may delay its decision on a citywide or district-based lottery process until after the application period closes and it is known if there is one or multiple applicants for each district.
Bond Issuance:
The bond issuance process requires collaboration with the City’s financial advisor to competitively select an underwriter and bring the bonds to market. Once this process is complete, the City will receive the initial bond proceeds to fund phases of the projects outlined in the Measure I program.
Given the scale of the bond projects and the time needed to finalize design and construction documents, the bonds are expected to be issued in multiple tranches over time. Projects with an identified scope of work will be initiated using the first tranche of funding, while more complex projects or projects currently without a defined scope of work - will be funded in subsequent tranches.
In accordance with IRS regulations, although there is some flexibility, the City must generally expend the proceeds from each bond issuance within three years. Staff plans to bring a resolution to authorize a tax levy, in accordance with the terms included in Measure I, in June, with the bond issuance targeted for early Fall 2025. Subsequent issuances will be made until the full $400 million in Measure I bonds are issued and, to the maximum extent possible, all projects identified in the Expenditure Plan are completed. The City cannot receive bond proceeds until the property tax levy is placed on the tax roll by the County Assessor, which occurs in August 2025.
In preparation for the initial issuance, additional staff are being hired and it is anticipated that budget actions will be introduced to enable those new staff to begin preliminary work in the Summer 2025.
This includes developing scope of works and RFP documents for hiring design consultants.
Additionally, preliminary design and engineering costs incurred before the bond issuance may be eligible for reimbursement from bond proceeds once the bonds are issued.

Capital Projects Delivery Program
Recognizing that undertaking $400 million in capital projects is a significant effort, City staff has begun prioritizing the proposed infrastructure projects outlined in the Expenditure Plan. To ensure a structured and efficient approach, projects have been categorized into three types:
1. Type 1 - Design-Ready Projects
The Department of Public Works has identified projects that are ready to be designed and are ready to proceed with immediate initial funding. These projects will be prioritized in the first bond issuance to allow them to begin without delay. These types of projects include roadway paving, ADA improvements, creek trail rehabilitation, and storm drain system improvements
2. Type 2 - Projects requiring conceptual design efforts Type 2 projects are multi-year initiatives that are larger or more complex and require additional time to finalize design concepts. These projects require additional preliminary work before design can commence. Staff will identify and prioritize these projects accordingly. These types of projects include park improvements, pump stations, and fire stations.
3. Type 3 - Projects requiring further definition, planning, and feasibility analysis prior to design Type 3 projects require additional study, planning, and feasibility assessments before the design phase can begin. These projects may include police facilities, libraries, senior center, historic buildings, and additional park projects that have yet to be identified.
International Swim Center: As outlined in RTC 25-140, the initial design and construction improvements for the International Swim Center (ISC)-including the restoration of the three swimming pools and dive tower-would be funded through the first tranche of approximately $10 million from the $45 million allocated for aquatics-related projects. Additional aquatic facility enhancements with the remaining allocation may include further improvements to the ISC, as well as upgrades to the Warburton Swim Center, Mary Gomez Swim Center, and the Senior Center Natatorium.
Categorizing projects in this manner allows the City to begin work on design ready initiatives while simultaneously planning and prioritizing feasibility and design efforts for the remaining projects. Given the increased workload, particularly within the Department of Public Works, staff are evaluating its staffing model to ensure adequate resources are available to support the Measure I bond program.
Once reviewed by the Committee and approved by the City Council, staff are prepared to initiate work on the projects included in the initial tranche of bond proceeds by early 2026. A proposed project list and estimated budget for the first bond issuance will be presented later this year.
In anticipation of the issuance of bonds, staff will return to the City Council before the end of the Fiscal Year with a Resolution of to authorize a tax levy, in accordance with the terms included in Measure I, to be provided to the Santa Clara County for incorporation into the upcoming property tax roll. We will also be coordinating training sessions for both the Committee and the City Council on the fiduciary roles and responsibilities for the oversight of the bonds.

EXHIBIT A
1. In General. This City of Santa Clara plan for the expenditure of bond proceeds (“Expenditure Plan”) was adopted by the City Council on July 16, 2024, by Resolution No. 24-9346, to implement Section 6 of that certain Ordinance No. 2069 adopted concurrently herewith (“Ordinance”). The Ordinance calls for an election by City voters on a ballot measure to approve the issuance of up to $400,000,000 in bonds (“Infrastructure Bonds”) for purposes of financing the acquisition and construction of public infrastructure on the terms set forth therein. To the extent of any conflict between this Expenditure Plan and the Ordinance, the terms of the Ordinance shall govern. The above chart summarizes the Expenditure Plan’s “Project Categories” (as defined in Section 2, below), and “Infrastructure Projects” (as defined in Section
2. Project Categories. The Expenditure Plan includes the following infrastructure expenditure categories (“Project Categories”), each with a designated amount of allocated Infrastructure Bonds proceeds (“Designated Allocations”): Streets and Transportation ($41,170,000); Fire Stations and Emergency Response ($142,235,450); Police Facilities ($43,987,500); Parks, Library, Senior Center and Aquatic Facilities ($115,258,750); Storm Drain System Improvements (46,000,000); Historic Buildings and Beautification ($9,200,000); and Bond Issuance Costs ($2,000,000). Project Categories and/or their respective Designated Allocations may be amended, but only in accordance with the Expenditure Plan Amendment Process set forth in Section 6 of this Expenditure Plan, below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Designated Allocation for Bond Issuance Costs shall be treated as a “Budgeted Amount” under this plan, to be updated by staff without a formal Expenditure Plan amendment in accordance with the process set forth in Section 3, below.
3. Designated Infrastructure Subcategories/Specific Projects. Within each Project Category, there is a list of designated project subcategories and/or specific projects (“Infrastructure Projects”), including estimated amounts budgeted for each such project subcategory/specific project, and an overall estimate of the projected contingencies, cost escalations and administrative costs necessary for project implementation (“Budgeted Amounts”). Infrastructure Projects may be deleted or added, but only in accordance with the Expenditure Plan Amendment Process set forth in Section 6 of this Expenditure Plan, below. Budgeted Amounts represent City staff’s best estimate of the projected costs for such Infrastructure Projects as of the date of the City’s adoption of this Expenditure Plan. Throughout the duration of the Expenditure Plan staff will monitor the Budgeted Amounts for outstanding projects and, at least [annually], as necessary, staff will revise the Expenditure Plan to update the Budgeted Amounts to be consistent with then projected project implementation costs. Staff updates to Budgeted Amounts will not be considered amendments to the Expenditure Plan requiring the amendment process set forth in Section 6, below.
4. Phased Implementation. Infrastructure Projects identified within the Expenditure Plan will be implemented in phases (each a “Project Phase”). Consistent with priorities set by the City Council, staff will develop lists of proposed Infrastructure Projects to be included within each Project Phase. Each Project Phase will be presented for City Council and approval as part of the City’s annual Capital Improvement Program budget process. Additional factors to be considered in the development and timing of each Project Phase, and the sequencing of projects within each Project Phase time period include: (a) the need to balance available staff and contractor resources; (b) the length of the planning, design, and construction phases of each project; (c) disruption to the public as City services and facilities are removed from service to undergo renovations; (d) legal requirements for the expenditure of Infrastructure Bond proceeds (in general, under current federal tax law, the City must expect to spend 85% of each series of Infrastructure Bond funds within three years of their date(s) of issuance ); (e) the timing and availability of alternate and supplemental funding sources; (f) local, regional, state or federal permitting requirements; (g) the need to coordinate with outside agencies.
5. Council Approval Required. Council approval shall be required for (a) each and every proposed Project Phase for the implementation of the Expenditure Plan; (b) each and every issuance of Infrastructure Bonds to finance a Project Phase; and (c) any proposed amendment to the Expenditure Plan as provided in Section 6. Below.
6. Amendment of the Plan. Any proposed substantive amendment to this Expenditure Plan shall be subject to the requirements of Section 13(b)(ii) of the Ordinance. Such requirements shall include prior consideration and input from the “Bond Compliance COC” as provided therein.
7. Legal Requirements for Capital Projects. All Infrastructure Project costs paid from Infrastructure Bond proceeds shall consist of capital costs of the acquisition and improvement of real property within the meaning of California law. Any Infrastructure Project costs consisting of furnishings, furniture, equipment, software, ordinary maintenance (such as repairs, painting, resurfacing, striping or slurry seals), or other non-capital costs shall be paid by the City from other funds.
