REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Action on Award of Contract for the Pruneridge Avenue Signal Timing Project to Tennyson Electric, LLC.

COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure

BACKGROUND
The City has 145 signalized intersections, many of which are connected to the City’s Traffic Management Center using fiber optic or copper cables. This interconnected traffic signal system allows the City to better manage traffic operations. As part of the traffic signal management program, capital improvement projects (CIPs) are planned for interconnecting signalized intersections, replacing obsolete traffic signal controller cabinets, and upgrading copper cables with fiber optic cables. Fiber optic cables provide faster data transmission and support higher resolution video streams.

Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. was retained to provide the required design professional services for the Pruneridge Avenue Signal Timing Project (Project). In general, the Project upgrades existing copper cables on Pruneridge Avenue between Pomeroy Ave. and Kiely Blvd. with fiber optic cables and installs newer traffic signal equipment and pull boxes (Attachment 1). The Project received $84,970 in Transportation Fund for Clean Air grant funding from the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority.

DISCUSSION
In February 2025, a competitive Request for Bids (RFB) for construction of the Project was published on the City’s bid notification system, Bidnet Direct. The RFB was viewed by various vendors, including contractors, suppliers, plan rooms, and builder exchanges, among others. Additional vendors were able to view the RFB as members of various plan rooms and builder exchanges. Staff also reached out directly to contractors and vendors who had viewed similar projects in the past.

On March 20, 2025, bids for the Project were opened via video conference. Three bids were received ranging from $489,280 to $562,700. The Bid Summary is included as Attachment No. 2. The lowest bid submitted by Tennyson Electric, LLC in the amount of $489,280 is approximately 12 percent below the engineer’s estimate of $554,329. Tennyson Electric, LLC’s bid was reviewed by staff for compliance with the terms and conditions of the bid documents and has been determined to be a responsive and responsible bid. Staff recommends awarding the construction contract to Tennyson Electric, LLC.

Award of contract will enable construction of the Project to commence with substantial completion City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 2 Printed on 5/9/2025

25-1162 Agenda Date: 5/13/2025
anticipated by December 2025. The date is subject to change based on any unforeseen conditions discovered during construction or extended delivery dates by equipment suppliers. The contract includes prevailing wage requirements.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This project being considered is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15301(c), “Existing Facilities,” as the activity consists of the repair, maintenance or minor alteration of existing facilities involving no or negligible expansion of the use beyond that presently existing.

FISCAL IMPACT
The approximate cost of the contract is $489,280, plus approximately 15 percent contingency, or $73,392, for any potential change orders, for a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $562,672.

Funding is available in the Project budgeted in the Streets and Highways Capital Fund (533-1285) to complete construction.

COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Finance Department and the City Attorney’s Office.

PUBLIC CONTACT
Public contact was made by posting the Council agenda on the City’s official-notice bulletin board outside City Hall Council Chambers. A complete agenda packet is available on the City’s website and in the City Clerk’s Office at least 72 hours prior to a Regular Meeting and 24 hours prior to a Special Meeting. A hard copy of any agenda report may be requested by contacting the City Clerk’s Office at (408) 615-2220, email [email protected] or at the public information desk at any City of Santa Clara public library.

RECOMMENDATION

1. Determine that the proposed actions are exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of Title 14 of California Code of Regulations;

REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Action on the Award of Contract for the Great America Parkway Streetlight Replacement Project, Contract No. 2875-9661, to Bear Electrical Solutions LLC and Related Budget Amendment

COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure

BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clara’s Electric Department, Silicon Valley Power (SVP), issued a public works bid packet to support its Electric Department Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Great America Parkway Streetlight Replacement Project (Project), Contract No. 2875-9661. The proposed Project will replace approximately 170 aged steel square street light poles and luminaires along Great America Parkway with new aluminum round tapered street light poles and LED luminaires. New reinforced concrete foundations will be required as well as re-wiring the existing street lighting circuits to help balance the electrical load across the power sources.

DISCUSSION
On March 06, 2025, a competitive Request for Bid (RFB) was published on the City’s bid notification system, BidNet Direct, for the Project. On April 3, 2025, the Project bids were opened at the City Clerk’s office. The City received one (1) bid from Bear Electrical Solutions LLC (Bear Electric) in the amount of $5,356,147.20. The Bid Summary is included as Attachment 1.

As the sole bidder, Bear Electric was declared the lowest apparent bidder with a submitted bid in the amount of $5,356,147.20. SVP compared the bid to the Engineer’s Estimate of $1,666,430.20, and SVP found that the Engineer’s Estimate did not consider necessary Project work such as sidewalk repairs and increased traffic control on Great America Parkway. Additionally, the Engineer’s Estimate did not consider overtime and weekend work required to meet the Project deadline of October 2025.

The Engineer’s Estimate was performed by an outside consulting firm. SVP performed a review of Bear Electric’s bid and found that the bid amount is justified based on its internal analysis.

Bear Electric’s bid was reviewed by SVP staff for compliance with the terms and conditions of the bid documents and has been determined to be the lowest responsive and responsible bid. Staff recommend awarding the contract to Bear Electric. Once awarded, this Project will be administered by Public Works.

Award of the contract will allow construction to commence to complete the Project. The contract includes Prevailing Wage requirements.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW

25-273 Agenda Date: 5/13/2025
Staff recommend that the City Council determine that the action being considered is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to the section 15302 (Class2-Replacement or Reconstruction) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations as the proposed work involves the replacement or reconstruction of existing utility facilities involving negligible expansion of capacity.

FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of the contract is $5,356,147.20, plus 25% contingency, or $1,339,036.80, for any potential change orders for a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $6,695,184. A contingency of 25% is recommended for unforeseen project costs.

The budget amendment below allocates funding from the available fund balance in the Electric Utility Fund to the Great America Street Light Replacement Project within the Street Lighting Capital Fund to fund the contract as recommended in this Report to Council.

REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Action on Award of Contract for the Miscellaneous Asphalt and Concrete Rehabilitation Project to Silicon Valley Paving, Inc. and Related Budget Amendments

COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure

BACKGROUND
The FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26 Adopted Biennial Capital Improvement Program Budget includes several projects that involve miscellaneous asphalt and/or concrete pavement repair. The work covered under these projects will take place at various sites throughout the City, including City Hall (visitor parking lot at the corner of Warburton Avenue and Lincoln Street), Central Park Library, the Convention Center, three water wells (Water Well 22, 24 and 29), five sanitary sewer pump stations (De La Cruz, Northside, Rabello, Stadium, and Westside) and the Convention Center (Maintenance District No. 183) (Attachment 1). Because each location is relatively small, they have been combined to create one larger project, the Miscellaneous Asphalt and Concrete Rehabilitation Project (Project) under the existing Public Building Parking Lot Improvements project. Administering the design and construction as a single project allows the City to hire one engineering consultant for design and to bid the work under one construction contract. This creates City staffing efficiencies and lowers the overall management/administration time and cost necessary to deliver the project. Also, bidding the work out under one construction contract has the potential to reduce construction mobilization and unit costs (i.e. the contractor can procure greater quantities of materials at lower prices).

CSG Consultants, Inc. was previously retained to provide the required design professional services for the Project. The scope of work generally includes asphalt pavement repair, seal coating, concrete removal and replacement, grading and base material repair, pavement striping and replacement of ancillary features such as ADA ramps.

DISCUSSION
In March 2025, a competitive Request for Bids (RFB) for construction of the Project was published on the City’s bid notification system. The RFB was viewed by contractors, suppliers, plan rooms, and builder exchanges, among others. Additional vendors were able to view the RFB as members of various plan rooms and builder exchanges. Staff also reached out directly to contractors and vendors who had viewed similar projects in the past.

On April 3, 2025, bids for the Project were opened via video conference. Six bids were received ranging from $1,139,217 to $1,973,888. The Bid Summary is included as Attachment No. 2. The lowest bid submitted by Silicon Valley Paving, Inc. in the amount of $1,139,217 is approximately 26 City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 4 Printed on 5/9/2025
powered by Legistar™
25-1163 Agenda Date: 5/13/2025
percent below the engineer’s estimate of $1,532,000. Silicon Valley Paving’s bid was reviewed by staff for compliance with the terms and conditions of the bid documents and has been determined to be the lowest responsive and responsible bid. Staff recommends awarding the construction contract to Silicon Valley Paving, Inc. Award of contract will enable construction of the Project to commence.

Substantial completion of the Project is anticipated by early 2026. The date may be subject to change based on any unforeseen conditions discovered during construction. The contract includes prevailing wage requirements.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This project being considered is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15301 (c), “Existing Facilities,” as the activity consists of the repair, maintenance or minor alteration of existing facilities involving no or negligible expansion of the use beyond that presently existing.

FISCAL IMPACT
The approximate cost of the contract is $1,139,217, plus a 15 percent contingency, or $170,883, for any potential change orders, for a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $1,310,100. Funding for the Project is proposed to be apportioned to each project based on its proportionate share. Staff recommends a transfer of each project’s share to the Public Building Parking Lot Improvements Project which will consolidate management and administration of the combined project’s funding.

For the improvements at the Central Park Library, a transfer of $216,000 from the General Fund to the Public Buildings Capital Fund was approved by City Council on December 3, 2024, as part of the FY 2023/24 Year End Close Report to Council. This transfer covers $216,000 of Library's $279,269 share of the project costs. The remaining $63,269 is recommended to be transferred from the Central Park Library - Concrete Sidewalk Replacement project in the Library Department Capital Fund.

The budget amendments below establish transfers from each respective fund to the Public Buildings Capital Fund. The transfers cover $1,080,948 of the costs of the construction contract and project delivery costs, which include inspection and construction management. Funding for the remaining project costs is available in the Public Building Parking Lot Improvements Project budget for FY 2024/25 and includes the $216,000 previously transferred for the Central Park Library portion of the project. The table below summarizes the recommended budget amendments:

REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Action on Award of Contract for the 2025 Annual Street Pavement Maintenance and Rehabilitation Project to Radius Earthwork Inc. and Approval of Related Budget Amendments

COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure

BACKGROUND
The City’s street pavement network consists of approximately 590 lane miles of arterial, collector, residential, and local streets. Through the Pavement Maintenance Program, staff prioritizes various street segments for preventative maintenance and rehabilitation work based on condition, use, and available funding.

The 2025 Annual Street Pavement Maintenance and Rehabilitation Project (Project) consists of preventative maintenance and rehabilitation of approximately 15.2 lane miles of pavement along various street segments (Attachment 1). The scope of work includes repair and replacement of asphalt pavement; placement of slurry seal; adjustment of utility valves and covers; construction of accessible concrete ramps in accordance with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA); replacement of traffic striping and pavement markings; and other necessary work to complete the Project.

The Project includes a CalRecycle grant. In January 2025, a CalRecycle grant was awarded to the City to incorporate recycled rubberized materials in pavement maintenance projects. The City will receive reimbursement of up to the $250,000 from CalRecycle based on the quantity of rubberized materials used. Staff plans to use a portion of the grant reimbursement on this Project and use remaining grant funds on future projects with rubberized asphalt pavements.

DISCUSSION
In March 2025, a competitive Request for Bids (RFB) for construction of the Project was published on the City’s bid notification system, BidNet Direct. The RFB was viewed by various vendors, including contractors, suppliers, plan rooms, and builder exchanges, among others. Additional vendors were also able to view the RFB as members of various plan rooms and builder exchanges. Staff also reached out directly to contractors and vendors who had viewed similar projects in the past.

On April 10, 2025, the bid opening for the Project was held via video conference. Four bids were received ranging from $8,667,777 to $10,960,960. The Bid Summary is included as Attachment 2.

The lowest bid, submitted by Radius Earthwork Inc. (Radius) in the amount of $8,667,777, is 0.3 percent below the Engineer’s Estimate of $8,694,200. Radius’s bid was reviewed by staff and the City Attorney’s Office for compliance with the terms and conditions of the bid documents and has City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 4 Printed on 5/9/2025
powered by Legistar™
25-107 Agenda Date: 5/13/2025
been determined to be the lowest responsive and responsible bid. Staff recommends awarding the construction contract to Radius.

The award of contract will allow construction to commence in order to complete the pavement work during the summer and fall of 2025. The dates may be subject to change based on any unforeseen conditions discovered during construction or extended delivery dates by materials or equipment suppliers. The contract includes prevailing wage requirements.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This project being considered is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15301(c), “Existing Facilities,” as the activity consists of the repair, maintenance or minor alteration of existing facilities involving no or negligible expansion of the use beyond that presently existing, and specifically includes the repair of existing highways and streets.

FISCAL IMPACT
The approximate cost of the contract is $8,667,777 plus a 10 percent contingency, or $866,778, for any potential change orders for a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $9,534,555.

Funding for the contract is available in the Annual Street Maintenance and Rehabilitation Program project in the Streets and Highways Capital Fund. Budget actions are recommended to recognize the $250,000 CalRecycle grant revenue and appropriate the funding to the Annual Street Maintenance and Rehabilitation Program project. In addition, staff recommends transferring $228,619 from the Buildings and Grounds project in the Water Utility Capital Fund and $198,409 from the Sewer Utility Fund to the Annual Street Maintenance and Rehabilitation Program project for the portion of the project costs associated with those funds. This Project involves removing and replacing water valve boxes and adjusting sanitary sewer manhole covers along with performing the permanent pavement restoration following water and sewer underground construction at various locations.

REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Action on Authorizing the City Manager to Negotiate and Execute Agreements and/or Purchase Orders with Vendors for the Purchase of Aluminum Tubular Substation Bus Conductors to be Funded by the Electric Utility Capital Fund

COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure

BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clara’s Electric Utility, Silicon Valley Power (SVP), has provided reliable electric service for over 128 years and is experiencing significant continued growth. SVP has developed a City Council approved Capital Improvement Strategy to address near-term and long-term impacts from potential load growth and aged infrastructure to maintain system reliability.

The key growth projects for the System Expansion Program include:
· Kifer Receiving Station (KRS) Rebuild and Replacement; · Scott Receiving Station (SRS) Rebuild and Replacement; · Northern Receiving Station (NRS) Upgrades and Expansion; and, · Northern Receiving Station (NRS)/Kifer Receiving Station (KRS) 115kV Transmission Line.

As part of SVP’s ongoing efforts to support system expansion and address load growth, a series of purchases have been made and are in progress to ensure that the necessary equipment and materials are delivered to meet project schedules.

DISCUSSION
In alignment with the City Council’s actions on the System Expansion Program, staff is now seeking approval to negotiate and execute agreements and/or purchase orders for the purchase of aluminum tubular substation bus conductors for the NRS project. These bus conductors are used to connect equipment like transformers, circuit breakers, and other substation components, facilitating the efficient flow of power.

On April 9, 2025, staff issued a Request for Bid (RFB) for Aluminum Tubular Substation Bus Conductors for the NRS project, which was published on the City’s e-procurement system. In addition, the City contacted several firms directly, informing them of the RFB and directing them to the e-procurement system if interested. This procurement is currently out for bidding and bids are due May 21, 2025.

25-506 Agenda Date: 5/13/2025
City staff intends to award the procurement of aluminum tubular substation bus conductors in accordance with Section 2.105.140(d) of the Santa Clara City Code (City Code). This section requires the City to award the contract to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder.

Description and Quantities
The following table outlines the specific items and quantities required for the procurement of Aluminum Tubular Substation Bus Conductors to support SVP’s expansion project at NRS:

Subject to compliance with Chapter 2.105 of the City Code, staff is seeking authorization from the City Council to allow the City Manager to negotiate and execute agreements and/or purchase orders for aluminum tubular substation bus conductors, up to a total maximum aggregate amount of $90 0,000 plus a fifteen percent (15%) contingency, inclusive of applicable taxes but excluding any costs associated with tariffs. As staff does not know the impact of tariffs on the cost of the bus conductors, City staff is asking for additional authority to negotiate such amounts and exclude any tariff related cost from the maximum compensation. The requested authorization is subject to the review and approval as to form of all agreements and/or purchase orders by the City Attorney and the appropriation of funds.

Delivery Timeline
Deliveries are expected to take place in September 2025. Payments will be based on the successful completion of key milestones. A minimum of 10% of the contract amount will be withheld until the City’s final acceptance of the equipment. A two-year warranty period is anticipated to cover parts and labor and will commence upon final acceptance of each unit.

Additional Quantities
As part of the expansion, SVP may need to purchase additional bus conductors, subject to the maximum compensation limit. If such purchases are necessary, they will be made pursuant to Section 2.105.130 of the City Code. This section provides that the Purchasing Division Manager may purchase additional quantities after the initial award of a contract or purchase order for products.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The actions being considered do not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to section 15378(b)(2) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations as the proposed actions solely involve the purchase of equipment for the Northern Receiving Station (NRS) project.

FISCAL IMPACT
The amount to be paid to the Vendor(s) under the Agreement(s) is not-to-exceed $900,000 for the initial quantity of units noted in Table 1 and an additional $135,000 for a 15% contingency of the total contract value for a total maximum authorization not to exceed $1,035,000. Sufficient appropriations are available in the Electric Utility Capital Fund for the NRS Upgrades and Expansion project. On September 10, 2024, the City Council approved the issuance of electric revenue bonds which provide funding for the System Expansion Plan projects.

COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Finance Department and the City Attorney’s Office.

PUBLIC CONTACT
Public contact was made by posting the Council agenda on the City’s official-notice bulletin board outside City Hall Council Chambers. A complete agenda packet is available on the City’s website and in the City Clerk’s Office at least 72 hours prior to a Regular Meeting and 24 hours prior to a Special Meeting. A hard copy of any agenda report may be requested by contacting the City Clerk’s Office at (408) 615-2220, email [email protected] or at the public information desk at any City of Santa Clara public library.

RECOMMENDATION

1. Subject to compliance with Chapter 2.105 of the City Code, review and approval as to form by the City Attorney, and appropriation of funds, authorize the City Manager or designee to negotiate and execute agreements or purchase orders with vendors for aluminum tubular substation bus conductors for the Northern Receiving Station (NRS) project for a maximum compensation of $90 0,000, plus a 15% contingency ($135,000), for a total maximum compensation not to exceed of $1,035,000 (inclusive of applicable taxes but exclusive of any applicable tariffs);

2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to negotiate and pay any tariff increases imposed on the bus conductors up to 150% of the total maximum compensation; and

3. Authorize the City Manager or designee to (a) take any actions as necessary to implement and administer the agreements and/or purchase orders, and (b) negotiate and execute amendments for (i) design changes, (ii) any unanticipated issues, (iii) tariff increases, (iii) term extensions, (iv) de minimis revisions, or (v) the purchase of additional bus conductors, subject to the above maximum aggregate compensation limit, appropriation of funds, and the review and approval as to form by the City Attorney.

REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Action on Authorizing the City Manager to Negotiate and Execute a Lease Agreement for the Commercial and Warehouse Property Located at 751 Nuttman Street, Santa Clara, for Materials Storage and Construction Support Purposes

COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure

BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clara’s Electric Department, Silicon Valley Power (SVP), continues to experience significant electric load growth driven by increased demand from customers. SVP has a long-term capital improvement strategy to expand and modernize its electric infrastructure to meet this growth and will need ongoing resources to maintain the expanded system. As previously discussed with the City Council, SVP’s customer demand for electric power is expected to nearly double over the next decade.

In 2024, SVP reached a new system peak demand of 722MW, surpassing the 2022 peak of 703MW.

With planned system expansion projects, including the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) transmission line to be constructed by LS Power, SVP’s peak demand is expected to reach approximately 1,300MW by 2030. To support this growth, SVP has a robust capital program that includes the following large projects with construction scheduled to begin in 2025:
· Expansion of the Northern Receiving Station (NRS), Scott Receiving Station (SRS), and Kiefer Receiving Station (KRS)
· Construction of a 115kV Transmission Line
To successfully implement these projects and manage the associated materials, equipment, and contractors, SVP requires additional space for storage and logistics. The existing Central Warehouse located at 1705 Martin Avenue, Santa Clara, is insufficient to accommodate the large-scale materials and equipment required for upcoming capital projects and ongoing maintenance needs, including contractor staging areas and laydown areas. Moreover, other SVP construction projects also add to demands regarding warehouse operations and space availability.

DISCUSSION
SVP identified a property at 751 Nuttman Street that meets the City’s requirements for additional warehouse and laydown space. The property is approximately 2.65 acres and includes common areas, parking, and a 12,616 square foot office and a cross-dock building.

Lease Terms
Working with the City’s real estate brokers (CBRE), staff has negotiated a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) for the lease of the property. The proposed lease is structured as a triple-net agreement, under which the City would assume responsibility for paying additional rent. Based on the LOI, key lease terms will include:
· Initial Term: 124 months (10 years and 4 months)
· Base Rent: $50,181 per month, with abatement in months 1-3 and month 13. This results in nine months of payments totaling $451,629 in the first year. · Annual Rent Escalation: 3% per year, with rent increasing to $67,439 per month by the final year of the term. Over the full 124-month lease term, total Base Rent payments are projected to be approximately $7 million.
· Additional Rent (Triple-Net Costs): The City will also be responsible for additional rent, which includes property taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance and repair expenses.

These may be paid directly to the property owner or applicable vendors depending on the final lease structure.
· Utilities: Water, gas, sewer, and electricity will be paid directly by the City to the respective utility providers.

To ensure sufficient funding to cover all obligations under the proposed lease, staff recommends authorization of up to $10 million in total payments over the 124-month term.

Table 1 - Lease Cost Summary Table
Description Estimated Total Cost
Estimated Base Rent (124 months) ~$7,000,000
Estimated Additional Rent and
Contingencies
~$3,000,000
Total Not-to-Exceed Authorization $10,000,000

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Staff recommends that the City Council determine that the action being considered is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to the following section 15301 (Class 1 _Existing Facilities) of Title 14 of the California Code of as minor alteration to the 751 Nuttman Street to accommodate the City’s use.

FISCAL IMPACT
The annual cost of the property in the first year is anticipated not to exceed $550,000 (including lease costs and additional costs such as taxes, insurance, maintenance, repair, and utilities). Sufficient funding is available in the Electric Utility Fund for FY 2024/25. Funding for future years is incorporated into the FY 2025/26 and FY 2026/27 Proposed Operating Budget.

REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Authorize the City Manager to Negotiate and Execute Amendments to the Master Agreements with Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. and Bellecci & Associates for Underground Electrical Distribution System Design Services

COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure

BACKGROUND
In May 2020, after a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) process, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute master agreements with Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. (Stantec) and Bellecci & Associates (Bellecci) for underground electrical distribution system design services (RTC 20-575).

The agreements have a five-year term ending April 30, 2025, with a combined maximum aggregate compensation not to exceed $3,000,000.

These agreements support Silicon Valley Power’s (SVP) ongoing effort to upgrade and enhance its underground electrical distribution system infrastructure. The work is intended to support new customer demands and maintain the reliability of the SVP distribution system. In connection with this ongoing effort, consultants to perform design work for the following underground projects:
· Two underground crossing projects at Central Expressway at Coronado Drive with another at Lawson Lane;
· One underground crossing at El Camino Real at Halford Avenue; · One underground crossing at Great America Parkway at the intersection of Great America Way);
· One underground project west of existing Fairview Substation to Coronado Avenue (Fairview Project); and
· One 0.7 mile underground project along Stevens Creek Boulevard from Rodonovan Road to Stern Avenue located in the south part of the City (Rodonovan Project).

DISCUSSION
To date, the design of the Fairview Project and Rodonovan Project are underway. Stantec is the consultant for the Rodonovan Project, and Bellecci is the consultant for the Fairview Project. The designs for the remaining four projects have not yet been awarded.

Currently, the estimated cost for the completion of the work associated with the Rodonovan Project is $1,753,000, and the cost for the Fairview Project is $615,165.59.

Staff is requesting that the City Council authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 3 Printed on 5/9/2025
powered by Legistar™
25-78 Agenda Date: 5/13/2025
amendments to these agreements to extend the term of both agreements through April 30, 2030, and to increase the aggregate maximum compensation for these two agreements from $3,000,000 to $6,000,000. The extension of the term will allow for additional time to complete the Rodonovan Project and the Fairview Project and, where applicable, initiate and complete the other four projects identified above. The increased maximum compensation is anticipated to cover additional contingencies for the Rodonovan Project and Fairview Project as well as the design costs of the other four projects.

Purchasing and SVP have been collaborating on a new solicitation that will improve the contracting process for this type of service and reduce redundancies associated with multiple solicitations. Once that process is complete any remaining design projects that are not underway will migrate over to the new process. Staff anticipates the go-live of the new process to occur no earlier than June 2026.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of a California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to pursuant to section 15061(b)(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations in that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the design services may have a significant effect on the environment. If the City decides to construct the Project, additional environmental review will be required.

FISCAL IMPACT
The total compensation shall not exceed $6,000,000 for the two master agreements. Sufficient funds are available in the Electric Utility Capital Fund in the Transmission and Distribution Capital Maintenance and Betterments project (project no. 2006) or in specific capital projects associated with the work.

COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Finance Department and City Attorney’s Office.

PUBLIC CONTACT
Public contact was made by posting the Council agenda on the City’s official-notice bulletin board outside City Hall Council Chambers. A complete agenda packet is available on the City’s website and in the City Clerk’s Office at least 72 hours prior to a Regular Meeting and 24 hours prior to a Special Meeting. A hard copy of any agenda report may be requested by contacting the City Clerk’s Office at (408) 615-2220, email [email protected].

RECOMMENDATION

1. Authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute amendments to the Master Agreement for Design Professional Services with Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. and Bellecci & Associates, Inc. (Master Agreements) for underground electrical distribution system design services, to extend the term through April 30, 2030, and increase aggregate maximum compensation from $3 million to $6 million funded by the Electric Utility Capital Fund and allocated as SVP may require subject to the appropriation of funds and review and approval as to form by the City Attorney; and

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.

REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Action on the First Amendment to the Cooperative Agreement between the City of Santa Clara and the Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) for the Preparation of the Santa Clara Station Area Plan

COUNCIL PILLAR
Promote and Enhance Economic, Housing and Transportation Development

BACKGROUND
Santa Clara received two funding opportunities that collectively provided $900,000 to support preparation of a Specific Plan for the Santa Clara Station Area (see Attachment 1 for a boundary map). On December 7, 2021, the City Council accepted and approved $400,000 in grant funding from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) for the preparation of the Santa Clara Station Area Specific Plan (Award Agreement - Attachment 4). The City also received $500,000 from the Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) provided from a Federal Transportation Administration (FTA) grant award (Attachment 3) to fund consultant work to develop a Station Area Specific Plan with oversight by the City of Santa Clara.

On September 13, 2022, the City Council approved a Cooperative Agreement between the City of Santa Clara and the VTA for the preparation of the Santa Clara Station Area Plan and to set agency roles and expectations for the process. At a subsequent meeting on December 6, 2022, the Council acted a second time to approve the Cooperative Agreement, with the addition of two exhibits (the Original MTC/VTA Master Funding Agreement and FTA Award Agreement).

Due to the requirements of the grant awarded to the VTA from the FTA, the procurement process was administered by the VTA. Wallace Roberts & Todd (WRT) was selected as the consultant for the development of the Specific Plan, and the consultant contract was finalized in December 2023.

The purpose of the subject First Amendment to the Cooperative Agreement between the City of Santa Clara and the VTA (Attachment 2) is to integrate WRT’s scope of work and the updated MTC grant agreement, which extends the term from June 30, 2025 to December 31, 2026, into the Cooperative Agreement.

DISCUSSION
When the City entered into the Cooperative Agreement with VTA for the work on the Station Area Specific Plan, the scope of work for the Plan in the Agreement was not comprehensive. Now that a consultant, WRT, has been selected, staff is requesting the City Council amend the Agreement to integrate WRT’s detailed scope of work.

The detailed scope work that is being incorporated into the Grant Agreement can be found in City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 3 Printed on 5/9/2025

25-410 Agenda Date: 5/13/2025
Attachment 2, Exhibit A. Preparation of the specific plan kicked-off in January of 2024. The Council appointed Station Area Task Force (SATF) meets regularly to discuss plan concepts and consultant deliverables. The following milestones from the scope of work are shown below along with the latest schedule provided by the consultant WRT for the development of the plan. · Spring 2025 - Draft land use plan developed
· Summer 2025 - Environmental analysis begins, Notice of Preparation · Fall 2025 - Draft Specific Plan / Admin draft EIR
· Winter 2026 - Draft Specific Plan available for public review · Spring 2026 - Public draft EIR circulates
· Summer 2026 - Refinements to Draft Plan and response to EIR comments · Summer 2026 - Adoption hearings for Planning Commission and City Council · Winter 2026 - Grants expire

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) in that it is a governmental organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect changes in the environment. An Environmental Impact Report will be prepared through the Santa Clara Station Specific Plan process.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no cost to the City other than administrative staff time and expense.

COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the City Attorney’s Office.

PUBLIC CONTACT
Public contact was made by posting the Council agenda on the City’s official-notice bulletin board outside City Hall Council Chambers. A complete agenda packet is available on the City’s website and in the City Clerk’s Office at least 72 hours prior to a Regular Meeting and 24 hours prior to a Special Meeting. A hard copy of any agenda report may be requested by contacting the City Clerk’s Office at (408) 615-2220, email [email protected] or at the public information desk at any City of Santa Clara public library.

o Safety data, including SWITRS and the City’s collision data o Parking supply and utilization by using NearMap aerial imagery.  District water and energy sustainability, and infrastructure: The project’s water and energy systems require a forward-thinking plan blending short-term efficiency with long-term flexibility to support decarbonization, net-positive goals, and system-wide resiliency. Arup will contextualize the project’s water and energy goals, constraints and opportunities while establishing criteria for measuring the performance of the various strategies to be explored in Task 6.
17  Team Design Charrette: WRT will lead an internal design charrette with its consultant team partners to clarify issues, assets, opportunities, and constraints, and begin to brainstorm a preliminary vision. The internal charrette will capitalize on consultants’ expertise across disciplines and will feature our team’s Design Think Tank for expert perspectives for specific land uses and issue areas.

Task 4.3 Deliverables:
 Team design charrette
 Draft Setting, Opportunities, and Constraints Summary  Final Setting, Opportunities, and Constraints Summary Task 5: Vision Plan
The WRT team will develop a Vision Plan that presents a cohesive and compelling vision of the Station Area for the next 25- to 30-years. This document will convey the City's desired future for the Station Area to key decision-makers, business and property owners, transit operators, employers, and the development community. WRT will develop a Vision Framework which may include a circulation framework, public realm and open space framework, development framework, and economic framework; to ensure a holistically designed community.

5.1: Vision Charette and Stakeholder Interviews
The WRT team will host a series of stakeholder interviews culminating in a vision charette to develop a clear picture of the perspectives of stakeholders, businesses, and property owners in the Station Area. The purpose of these efforts is to build a clear and collaborative picture of how key stakeholders view the existing Station Area and their hopes for its future. WRT will plan for up to eight (8) stakeholder focus group interviews.

At the conclusion of the interviews, WRT will build upon the findings from the focus groups to design and implement an interactive vision charette. The charette's purpose will be to develop and refine an overarching vision for the Station Area and identify key urban design attributes such as the character of the public realm including streets, character of the buildings, mix of uses, programming, aspired experiences, identity, and other attributes stakeholders would like to see around the Station Area.

City and VTA Staff will assist the WRT team in developing and refining the proposed list of stakeholders.

In-person Vision Charrette: The WRT Team will lead and facilitate a vision charrette with the stakeholders, City and VTA staff, and consultant team members develop overarching vision for the Station Area, and identify key urban design attributes such as the design character of Area districts, the character of the public realm including streets, and other key attributes. WRT envisions a 6-hour in-person format for a collaborative process between the stakeholders and the consultant team, but WRT will adapt the format to be a virtual only or hybrid meeting if that is 18 desired by the City and VTA. City and VTA staff are invited to be direct participants or observers. The Charrette may begin with a brief presentation for framing information such as key site conditions, opportunities and constraints, stakeholder interviews summary, and land use targets/aspirations contained in VTA’s Playbook, the City’s General Plan, and the Draft 2010 Station Area Plan. Following that, consultant team members, City staff, VTA staff and other stakeholders can work in small groups facilitated by consultant team members to discuss issues such as: district types and urban form, street-level activation, access/connectivity and roadway design, systems for resiliency, etc. Finally, the charrette outcomes will be reported out for discussion and documented as sketches, notes, and diagrams. The Summary Memorandum will highlight key themes expressed by participants of the focus groups and charette; and will be accompanied by a visual and written record of Vision Charrette results.

The Vision Plan will present a vision and guiding principles and concepts, diagrams, visualizations, maps, and other visual aids to communicate this vision. The Vision Plan will be informed by the feedback received during the Stakeholder Vision Charrette, TAC Meeting 1 focused on Vision and Goals, and Community Workshop 2. Specific topic areas to be touched upon may include mobility and connectivity, land use, community amenities, infrastructure concepts (including green stormwater infrastructure), water conservation, and open space. WRT will submit one draft Vision Plan Memorandum and will finalize the Vision Plan 20 based on City staff comments. The Vision Plan will serve as the framework for Alternatives developed in Task 6.

Task 5.4 Deliverables:
a. Draft Vision Plan Memorandum
b. Final Vision Plan Memorandum
Task 6: Alternatives Development

6.1: Plan Alternatives and Concept Study
Based on the outcomes from prior tasks, especially the community and stakeholder engagement in Task 4, WRT will develop up to three Plan Alternatives. These Alternatives will encapsulate three distinct options for the future of the Station Area over a 25- to 30-year horizon. The Draft Alternatives will include descriptions and illustrations of variations in development intensities, urban design, land use plan, multi-modal circulation and connectivity, transit, park facilities, community facilities, and site design concepts. WRT will lead the alternatives development process to include site feasibility testing, development scenarios at different intensities informed by market analysis, and public realm concepts. Design studies will present alternative direction at scale of representative blocks and the entire site.

Maps, tables, and other visual tools will be incorporated as needed to present the alternatives in a highly graphical and easy-to-comprehend manner. WRT will conduct a comparative analysis of each alternative, highlighting each option's relative strengths and weaknesses. The alternatives will also be evaluated against the project goals, principles, and vision developed as part of Task

4. Circulation concepts to improve multimodal connectivity, including creating new roadways, pedestrian facilities, and bike routes to enhance connectivity to, from, and through the Station Area, are of critical importance, given the limited street network in industrial areas and gradecrossing locations along the existing JPB right-of-way. The new mixed-use development projects and the BART Phase II Station coming into the area over the next decade will present increased multimodal transportation demand in the Station Area.

CHS Consulting will lead the circulation and mobility aspect and estimate project trip generation for up to three scenarios and use this to guide the development of alternative land use plans and assess gaps and opportunities.

The key transportation challenges for the Specific Plan area are:

1. Overcoming the barriers of at-grade railroad tracks for all transportation modes.

2. Safe pedestrian and bicycle crossing on El Camino Real.

3. A complete roadway network for parcels on both sides of the railroad tracks.

Building upon the community feedback, prior planning studies (e.g., TOC), and VTA, County, and City policy documents, CHS will develop circulation concepts for each mode of access that is fully integrated with the unique opportunity of the project site with major rail transit stations 21 (Caltrain and BART) and VTA buses, as well as proposed land uses in the project area. CHS will also pay special attention to the proposed BART parking garage, and how this can be integrated into the project site.

Key transportation options would include:
 First/last mile connections – CHS will develop convenient and safe first and last mile connections for bicycles, pedestrians, and transit/micro-mobility systems; and will evaluate viable connections not only to the parcels within the Specific Plan area, but also to Santa Clara Downtown and Civic Center, and Santa Clara University.  New roadways – CHS will assess the need for an additional E-W roadway connection to make the east side more connected with the City of Santa Clara across modes including bike, pedestrians, and micro-mobility vehicles. In addition, CHS will examine the potential for new roadways to increase TOD development connectivity.  Pedestrian and bicycle access – A key to successful TOD and multi-modal rail station design is safe and convenient pedestrian and bicycle access. This will include pedestrian and bicycle access between the east and west side of the tracks, to and from both Caltrain and BART stations, and safe crossing of El Camino Real and Coleman Avenue.  Roadway cross-sections – CHS will develop multi-modal roadway cross-sections and design concepts for all roadways in the project area, such as to enhance pedestrian environments that cross and run along El Camino Real. In light of El Camino Real’s importance to the success of the Station Area, the WRT team can develop a complete set of design schematics in plan and cross section, which would be accompanied by analysis of traffic geometries and utilities’ locations, a tailored palette of streetlight and landscape elements, and coordination with Caltrans and City departments.  Curb management – CHS will develop a set of policies for curb-management, especially those near Caltrain and BART Stations, and where ground-floor commercial is anticipated. This could include passenger drop off arrangements for shared-mobility vehicles and corporate shuttle buses for Caltrain and enhancements to BART access informed by review of BART Silicon Valley Phase II.
 TDM and innovative parking management strategies – Transportation Demand Management strategies and parking management strategies must be an integral part of the TOD development. CHS will develop both TDM and parking management strategies that are suitable for TOD development, such as reduced parking supply, a potential for a Transportation Management Association to manage TDM program.

To determine the existing conditions and assess alternatives, CHS will collect and compile available traffic counts, bicycle and pedestrian volume data at up to 40 intersections along major corridors (e.g., El Camino Real, Coleman Avenue, The Alameda, etc.). CHS will use performance-based metrics (e.g., levels of stress for bicycles and pedestrians, VMT changes, intersection LOS and delays) to inform the alternatives. CHS will consider potential improvements for bicycle and pedestrian facilities, signal optimization, lane geometry changes 22 for the assessment of alternatives. The options above will be evaluated on how they can be best integrated with the proposed land uses and how they can maximize the benefits of major transit investments in the Station Area.

Arup will develop a performance-based evaluation of district water and energy strategies (e.g., district thermal, microgrid, onsite wastewater recycling) against up to three development program options to identify technical, spatial, and financial feasibility. Strategies will be measured against the performance criteria established in Task 4 and prioritized for selection in the Preferred Alternative.

6.4: Preferred Alternative
Following Tasks 5.1 -5.3, the WRT team will facilitate a work session with City Staff to review input received on the Plan Alternatives from the TAC and the community and select a Preferred Alternative. In consultation with staff, WRT will identify any needed changes to the Preferred Alternative. WRT will also use this work session to confirm direction on the Urban Design, Streetscape and Open Space Standards (Task 6.5). Specific analysis and group discussion on multimodal circulation, reducing vehicular traffic, and leveraging shared parking strategies will be required for this subtask. The results of the work session and direction/next steps on the Preferred Alternative will be summarized in a brief memorandum.

Task 6.4 Deliverables:
a. Draft and Final Internal Work Session Materials
b. Draft and Final Work Session & Preferred Alternative Summary Memorandum

6.5: Urban Design, Streetscape, and Open Space Standards The Consultant will prepare a set of design standards that present a clear and cohesive vision for future public and private improvements in the Station Area. The standards will lean heavily on visual renderings, sketches, and images to convey the desired outcomes and requirements. The WRT Team will prepare a new zoning district(s) which codifies these architectural, setback, and height standards. Consultant assumes that should a form-based code be desired, it would be funded and developed by a separate implementation action.

Clear guidance and illustrative examples will be included for the following topics:
 Urban Design and Architecture, including specific direction on height, massing, façade articulation, setbacks, and other considerations to meet the desired architectural standards for the Station Area. WRT will lead the development of Urban Design, Streetscape and Open Space Standards. Design Think Tank members will provide guidance for use and building types within their areas of expertise. Based on the analysis of existing regulations in Task 3.2, and on the public realm, infrastructure and private development typologies identified in the Preferred Alternative, WRT will prepare a memorandum 24 identifying the key topics that a robust set of objective urban design and development standards must address to successfully implement the community’s vision for the Station Area, based on extensive experience in preparing standards for plans of this type. WRT will submit this memo for City review and conduct a workshop meeting to discuss how best to organize the standards within the Specific Plan, and potentially also in the Municipal Code. WRT anticipates that the standards will need to address, at a minimum:
o Standards for block formation, to extend a network of multi-modal streets and pedestrian ways into the existing mega block subdivision pattern. o Standards for a range of street and pedestrian way types, and procedures for systematically implementing them across multiple property ownerships. o Standards for public and private frontages, to ensure a strong pedestrianorientation for all new development and safe, comfortable pedestrian access along all frontages throughout the day and evening.
o Standards for the massing and façade organization of new buildings, so that they clearly define the public spaces of the station area. WRT anticipates that these would be similar in technique – if not in design outcomes – to those of the Downtown Precise Plan.
o Standards for building use and parking, with an emphasis on flexible building use and shared parking arrangements.
o Standards for signage, including private development and public wayfinding. o To retain local control of new development, the Standards would be objective and quantitative to the greatest extent practicable, while still providing appropriate degrees of flexibility of form and use to meet the market over time.  Utility and Infrastructure Planning, including typical sections with standard utility placement of dry and wet utilities and standard frontage placement of appurtenances, trees and streetscape amenities.
 Streetscape and circulation with an emphasis on new roadways/paths leading to and from the Station Area (both Caltrain/ACE and the future BART Phase II Station), including Sustainable/Complete Streets. CHS will work with WRT team to design new connections serving the station area with an emphasis on safe and convenient access for pedestrians and bicycles. CHS will draw relevant best practices from complete streets and multimodal access design guidelines adopted by VTA, BART, and City of San Jose.  Open/Shared Spaces, including a focus on shared public spaces at/near the Station and the interface of private developments with the public realm. The City has a standard for park plan dedication, which states that 2.6 to 3 acres of new parkland should be provided for every 1,000 new residents. Recent specific plans have not accomplished this and have instead acknowledged publicly-accessible open space on private land.  Arup will produce a set of typical green infrastructure details (e.g., bio-retention, detention facility, etc.) for assignment to various land use types (e.g., roadway, commercial, parks, etc.).

a. Draft Design Standards and Zoning Districts.
b. Revised Draft Design Standards and Zoning Districts
Task 7: Draft Station Area Plan
The Specific Plan will serve as the City's long-range, comprehensive land use and circulation plan for guiding development around the Santa Clara Station. The Consultant team will create the Draft Specific Plan based on the results of prior tasks and the community engagement process.

The Consultant will finalize the Draft Specific Plan Chapters based on City staff comments.

The WRT team will develop a template for the Draft Specific Plan document in Adobe InDesign or comparable layout program. Each chapter will identify principles for the given topic supported by goals, policies, standards, and guidelines as appropriate, including objective design standards.

The Draft Plan will include supporting graphics, maps, and images that support the narrative.

At a minimum, the Specific Plan will include the following chapters:
 Introduction
 Vision and Guiding Principles
 Goals and Policies: Building upon the existing policy document of the City and VTA, as well as work done for the TOC, the WRT team will draft policy recommendations for land use, transportation, circulation and parking, public and private open space, private development, infrastructure, and sustainable development.  Land Use Plan: Description of land use designations, including number of residential units, square footage of non-residential uses, mixed use, and employment generating land uses.
 Circulation and Parking: Description of the circulation and parking elements of the preferred alternative detailing how each mode of access will be accommodated to and from the Station Area and how the new roadways and paths will link the areas beyond the Station Area. The parking element will describe the proposed parking supply, anticipated demand, shared parking arrangement, and operation of parking facilities.  Implementation and Financing Plan: Identifies actions and strategies for Plan implementation, along with completion date estimates, phasing, and cost estimates.

Financing plan strategies will be recommended for planned infrastructure improvements and costs.
 Public Services: Includes information about services and infrastructure needed to implement the updated Plan. This should include specific policies regarding utilities, public safety, parks, educational facilities, libraries, and cultural facilities.  Urban Design Guidelines and Objective Standards (Building, Open Space, Streetscape/Public Realm): The draft regulations and Zoning Amendments will address land use regulations, including uses and objective design standards. The regulations and 26 Zoning Amendments will be written in a user-friendly format that fits within the format of the City’s existing regulatory framework.
 General Plan consistency. While not called out in RFP, WRT will provide cursory review of General Plan and identify potential inconsistencies with Specific Plan, if any.

8.1: Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA)
The purpose of the traffic impact analysis (TIA) is to satisfy the requirements of the City of Santa Clara and the Congestion Management (CMP) of the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Per the requirements of Senate Bill 743, on June 23, 2020, the City of Santa Clara established a new Transportation Analysis Policy to establish the City of Santa Clara’s land use and transportation project requirements for evaluating transportation impacts under CEQA using a Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) methodology, including baselines, thresholds, as well as criteria for exempting certain types of projects from VMT analysis. The policy also formalizes the Transportation Operational Analysis (TOA) requirement outside of CEQA. A Transportation Analysis Guideline Manual is being prepared which will include how to conduct a VMT analysis and a TOA for projects within Santa Clara. CHS Consulting will analyze VMT and Traffic Level of Service (LOS) impacts for the preferred alternative in accordance with the City’s Transportation Analysis Policy. CHS will conduct the transportation analysis to satisfy the requirements of the CMP and CEQA. CHS will generally follow the VTA’s Transportation Impact Analysis Guide for the CMP analysis and the City of Santa Clara’s Transportation Analysis Policy for CEQA.

VMT Analysis
When the draft land use plan is developed, CHS will analyze whether a detailed VMT analysis is required. If a VMT analysis is required, CHS will use the City of Santa Clara’s travel demand model to analyze the projected total per capita/employee VMT under the preferred alternative.

LOS Analysis
1) Trip Generation and Assignment – CHS will turn the project data (e.g., square footage by land use) into employment/population projections for project Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZs) and run the travel demand model for with and without project scenario to determine the amount of vehicle traffic added to the roadway system by the station area development.
2) Identify Study Intersections – Based on the model outputs from Task 1, CHS will identify intersections where 10+ vehicle trips will be added per lane. 3) Data Collection – CHS will collect AM/PM traffic counts at up to 20 intersections (the exact number of intersections to be determined based on Step #2) 4) LOS Analysis – CHS will analyze LOS at study intersections for 5 scenarios. o Existing: CHS will use the existing volumes obtained from existing/new traffic counts
o Background: City of Santa Clara will provide a list of approved projects to be included in the Background condition. CHS will convert the approved project data 28 (e.g., square footage by land use) into employment/population projections and run the model with and without approved projects. CHS will develop Background volumes by adding the trips generated from approved projects onto the existing volumes.
o Background + Project: CHS will run the model including the specific plan development and use the model outputs (Background vs. Background + Project) to determine net-added project trips at study intersections and overlay them on top of the Background volumes.
o Cumulative: CHS will estimate the change in 2018 and 2050 model outputs and apply the difference to the existing to develop Cumulative condition volumes. o Cumulative + Project: CHS will run the model including the specific plan development and use model outputs (Cumulative vs. Cumulative + Project) to determine net-added project trips at study intersections and overlay them on top of the Cumulative volumes.
5) Report – CHS will summarize the analysis results and respond to 2 rounds of comments.

The budget assumes data collection and LOS analysis for 20 intersections and 5 scenarios. If a need for analyzing more than 20 intersections is determined based on the preferred land use alternative, additional budget will be needed to complete the analysis.

VTA assumes that City Staff will facilitate outreach and coordination to the San José Department of Transportation to confirm their TIA guidelines/requirements for any shared intersections/roadways in the Station Area. Any physical roadway capacity improvements will take into consideration Complete Streets and safety principles. The memorandum for this subtask will be combined with subtask 7.2. Suggested physical capacity or signaling improvements should be reflected/documented in Task 8.1.

8.2: Parking Analysis
This subtask will also include a parking demand management analysis consistent with the preferred alternative and overall plan vision. CHS will establish a cumulative parking demand and identify demand management strategies to implement the preferred plan. The analysis will utilize ULI shared parking strategies and ITE methodologies. Coordination with the VTA BART Phase II Team and other transit providers at the Santa Clara Station will be necessary to reflect park-and-ride trips into the demand analysis. The analysis will also quantify the parking demand reduction expected due to proximity to high quality transit service and the proposed mix of land uses. CHS will integrate strategies to manage curb management and on-street parking facilities into the larger parking strategy. Furthermore, CHS will provide a high-level analysis of potential reductions in parking demand from increased use of rideshare and reduced auto-ownership among growing segments of the population.

CHS will also develop recommended changes to the City’s adopted parking standards, including shared parking considerations. The TIA and parking analysis will be documented in a summary memorandum with any associated technical appendices. CHS will estimate a parking demand forecast based on estimated land uses of the Specific Plan program and the person trips by mode in the station area. CHS will estimate the parking accumulation during the peak day and consider a district shared parking management and TDM strategy. CHS will summarize the parking analysis methodology, results, and recommendations in a technical memorandum and incorporate two rounds of comments.

CHS will also develop recommended changes to the City’s adopted parking standards, including shared parking considerations. The TIA and parking analysis will be documented in a summary memorandum with any associated technical appendices.
30 CHS will estimate a parking demand forecast based on estimated land uses of the Specific Plan program and the person trips by mode in the station area. CHS will estimate the parking accumulation during the peak day and consider a district shared parking management and TDM strategy. CHS will summarize the parking analysis methodology, results, and recommendations in a technical memorandum and incorporate two rounds of comments.

Assumptions: Future mode split goals will be developed as part of the station area plan and be endorsed by the City.

Deliverables (8.1 and 8.2):
a. Admin Draft Transportation Impact Analysis and Parking Demand Management Memorandum
b. Draft Transportation Impact Analysis and Parking Demand Management Memorandum c. Final Transportation Impact Analysis and Parking Demand Management Memorandum Task 9: Infrastructure Financing

9.1: Infrastructure/Public Services and Implementation
Strategic Economics will lead this task with input from Arup, CHS Consulting and WRT for rough-order-of-magnitude cost estimates for infrastructure, circulation, and public realm improvements. The WRT team will include information about services and infrastructure needed to implement the Plan, including specific policies regarding utilities, public safety, and parks.

The Plan will also identify actions and strategies for its implementation, including needed infrastructure improvements and financing strategies to enable these improvements, such as roadways, stormwater treatment, parkland and facilities, enhanced or new pedestrian and bicycle facilities, public safety (fire & police) equipment or infrastructure needs to address growth, and electric utility infrastructures to meet electric demand. An evaluation of projected costs and revenues associated with the proposed improvements, including new streets, other public facilities, and utility infrastructure, and their potential effect on the City's budget should also be included. Specifically, sewer models – including pump station capacity – will need to be run once the sizing of the Specific Plan land use mix is determined (i.e., number of housing units and square footage of commercial space). The Plan will study potential relocation of existing SVP utilities infrastructure affected by the Plan and new SVP electric infrastructure that might be required to be able to serve intensified uses in the Station Area.

The WRT team will work with City staff to define and determine the CEQA strategy necessary to prepare and complete the required CEQA documentation for adoption of the Specific Plan.1

1.1: Define Project, Review Data, Determine Existing Conditions, and Determine CEQA Strategy The WRT team will work with City staff to define and determine the CEQA strategy necessary to prepare and complete the required CEQA documentation for adoption of the Specific Plan.

DJP&A will attend a kick-off meeting with the project team (i.e., the design team, the City, and VTA staff) to discuss the scope of the EIR (resource sections to be included) and determine data needs and the baseline for the analysis. DJP&A will provide a list of all data needs to complete the EIR so that assignments can be made on providing the data. To the greatest extent possible, DJP&A will utilize information from previous projects in the study area and other existing documents. The kick-off meeting will also include a discussion of the project objectives to be included in the EIR.

After the kick-off meeting, DJP&A will prepare a memorandum detailing the full scope of the CEQA strategy and the schedule for the CEQA process through entitlement hearings. ** Note: Technical studies will use development intensities assumed in the General Plan EIR and related environmental documents adopted by the City prior to 2025 (such as the Gateway Crossings EIR). Any additional assessment/modeling required for a significantly higher intensity resulting from this specific plan will require additional scope and budget.

Task 11.1 Deliverables:
 Attend CEQA Clearance Kick-off meeting
 CEQA Strategy and Schedule Memorandum

11.2: Prepare Draft Environmental Review Clearance Documents The environmental review scope is anticipated to include a program level Initial Study with technical studies, and Negative Declarations or Mitigated Negative Declarations that tier off of the certified Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the City of Santa Clara 2010-2035 General Plan.

However, an EIR may also be required. The document will address all required CEQA topics. The selected Consultant may include sub-consultants to conduct environmental review in specific technical areas. At a minimum, technical studies will be required for cultural resources, traffic, and air quality.
34 Environmental Review Clearance documents may incorporate results of water supply assessments and hydraulic studies. Consultant should be able to prepare recommendations to address potential water supply impacts that may arise.

Environmental Review Clearance documents may incorporate results of water supply assessments and hydraulic studies. Consultant should be able to prepare recommendations to address potential water supply impacts that may arise.

DJP&A would recommend not completing an Initial Study and moving straight to an EIR as an Initial Study is not mandatory when it can be determined that an EIR is clearly required (CEQA Guidelines Section 15060). There would be a cost and time savings by moving straight to an EIR. Given the past and current land uses of the plan area, the intent to provide new housing in the plan area, and the proximity of sensitive receptors to the plan area, it is reasonable to assume that an EIR would be required. It will also provide a better program document for future projects to tier from, enabling more efficient streamlining.

Task 13: Optional Scope

13.1. Traffic data collection and Level of Service Analysis for additional intersections:

The base budget assumes data collection and LOS analysis for 20 intersections and 5 scenarios. If a need for more than 20 intersections is determined based on the preferred land use alternative, additional budget will be needed to complete the analysis.

13.2. Water Assessment Study: WRT assumes that the City’s Department of Water and Sewer Utilities will prepare a Water Supply Assessment, if one is legally required. If it also becomes necessary for WRT to prepare a separate Water Assessment report for this Specific Plan, an additional budget will be required.

13.3. CBO stipends: Based on the final engagement strategy, the list of Community Based Organizations (CBOs) will be determined after consultation with City and VTA staff.

The stipends may cover gift cards for participation in focus group meetings, compensation for assisting with outreach, etc.

13.4. Renderings and Visualizations: The base scope includes 2D and 3D visualization graphics and concept studies to support draft and final design alternatives, and objective development standards. Additional photo-realistic renderings of the preferred alternative are included as optional tasks. The renderings may include one birds-eye perspective of the entire Plan Area, and up to two (2) eye-level views at selected locations in the Plan Area. These renderings can be used by both City and VTA on their websites and other documents to communicate the vision for the Station Area with stakeholders, partner agencies, development entities, and the general community.

13.5. El Camino Real Complete Street Schematics: El Camino Real is an important throughfare within the Specific Plan Area, and its design is vital to encouraging streetfacing development along its length and pedestrian-friendly connections across its breadth. At the same time, El Camino Real is a State highway with complex geometries and performance requirements. WRT recommends, therefore, that a separate study for schematic-level design be undertaken as a supplement to the Station Area Specific Plan.

A full proposal with fee estimates can be developed upon request. The study would go beyond concept-level cross-sections assumed as part of the basic Scope of Work to include: analysis of traffic geometries and utilities’ locations, design schematics in plan and cross section, a tailored palette of street light and landscape elements, and coordination with Caltrans and City departments.

13.6. Form Based Code: If a Form Based Code (FBC) is considered necessary by the City WRT will engage Sargent Town Planning to lead the preparation of the FBC. 39 13.7. Expanded Existing Conditions Analysis: The WRT team will rely on the existing conditions analysis conducted for the VTA playbook and information provided by City of Santa Clara. If a need arises for conducting additional analysis than assumed in the base scape, a budget augmentation will be needed.

13.8. Expanded Engagement: Community and stakeholder engagement in addition to what is already assumed in the base scope, participation from consultant team members or outreach and logistics planning beyond what is assumed in the base scope, will need budget augmentation.

13.9. Think Tank Participation
 Internal Charette Participation: The design Think Tank will be engaged in two internal team charrettes to refine opportunities and constraints, develop a Vision Framework, and draft alternative concepts.
 On-going Design Consultation and Review: The design Think Tank will continue to provide on-going consultation on building typology, emerging trends in building types, building technology, building performance, and program, which will inform the development of concept alternatives and the preferred concept. They will also serve as peer reviewers of the design standards included in the Specific Plan. 40 PLACEHOLDER: MTC GRANT AGREEMENT AMENDMENT 01
