Annex I
Project Description and Scope of Work
(Revised May 1, 2024)
Project Description
The City of Santa Clara’s Station Area Specific Plan will serve as a tool for the City of Santa Clara, City of San José, school districts, colleges, other governmental agencies, residents, businesses, and developers to guide future public and private investment in the Station Area Plan over a 25- to 30-year horizon. The purpose of the Station Area Plan is to establish a community-based vision to shape a vibrant transit hub. As property owners in the Station Area and the agency responsible for planning and constructing BART Silicon Valley Phase II, VTA is committed to working in partnership with the City of Santa Clara on this vision.
The Station Area includes land within approximately a one-half mile radius of the existing Caltrain/ACE station. Immediately adjacent to the Caltrain/ACE Station is the planned BART Phase II Santa Clara Station (at-grade) and the future BART Maintenance Facility (formerly the Newhall Railyard). The Santa Clara Station is also the end of the line for VTA's BART Phase II Extension. VTA's BART Silicon Valley Phase II Extension Project is a six-mile, four-station extension that will expand BART service from Berryessa/North San José through downtown San José to its terminus at the City of Santa Clara Station. Some key development projects already underway in the Station Area include Gateway Crossings (Hunter/Storm) at 1205 Coleman Avenue, mixed-use housing/retail at 575 Benton Street, and the Coleman Highline (the development’s parking structure is located in the City of Santa Clara). In addition, development projects are underway nearby in adjacent properties located within the City of San José’s jurisdiction.
In 2010, a Draft Station Area Plan was developed, but ultimately not adopted by City Council. Many new land use and transportation planning efforts have unfolded in the past decade in the City of Santa Clara, elsewhere in Santa Clara County, and across the Bay Area. A new Specific Plan is needed that incorporates these changes and the diverse voices and vision of Santa Clara residents and stakeholders.
In 2019, VTA developed a Transit-Oriented Communities Study or "Playbook" for the Santa Clara Station that was presented to the City Council, but not adopted. The existing conditions analysis and various technical appendices from the Playbook will be helpful for the preliminary tasks in this scope of work, including tasks 1 through 3.
The Station Area (“Station Area”) is located in Santa Clara, California (Figure 1). It is approximately
1.3 miles by 0.5 miles or 432 acres in size, encompassing about a one-half mile circular catchment area around the Station. However, the older Specific Plan from 2010, delineated a sphere of influence that included portions of land within the City of San José. The updated Plan scoped in this document, will only address land within the City of Santa Clara’s jurisdiction.
Much of the Station Area is currently zoned as Industrial. The Area's western edges border established neighborhoods, including the Old Quad in Santa Clara and the Newhall Neighborhood in San José, and Santa Clara University. The De La Cruz Boulevard overpass and San José International Airport form the northern and eastern boundaries. Interstate 880 (I-880) forms the southern border.

Amendment 1
Caltrain/ACE Station is located at the center of the Station Area. The pedestrian undercrossing constructed by VTA in 2017 connects the Caltrain/ACE platforms to the future BART Station Area and newly developed commercial and retail properties along Coleman Avenue near PayPal Park. VTA owns the future BART station area, maintenance facility, parking lot located east of Brokaw Road, and a portion of the existing Caltrain parking lot on the southwest side of the tracks (approximately 0.7 acres).
Construction of the BART station will commence in late 2024, with substantial construction completion in 2028. The start of revenue service is anticipated in 2030. The focus area boundaries per the General Plan is shown below in Figure 1.
Scope of Services
This section presents the scope of services, organized into 11 tasks. The selected Consultant may propose additional topics or recommended changes to the presented scope of services as part of their proposal response in Task 13 – Optional Tasks.
The contract for this Project will be procured and managed by VTA for FTA-compliance and grant administration purposes. However, the majority of day-to-day management of the Consultant will be conducted by the designated Project Manager at the City of Santa Clara. VTA will serve in an advisory capacity on project deliverables and processes, as well as participate in the Technical Advisory Committee. Implementing this Project will require inter-agency coordination and coordination across other Consultant teams involved in BART Phase II and other concurrent VTA efforts. Both City of Santa Clara and VTA staff will help coordinate and/or facilitate information sharing between consultant teams working on related/adjacent projects when necessary.

focus groups, or interviews with stakeholders and/or focus groups. The WRT engagement team will work with City staff to identify residents, businesses, property owners, relevant public agencies, community groups, neighborhood associations, nonprofits, and faith-based organizations for outreach. Meetings will emphasize working with community members where they already are and will be held in English and Spanish as needed. Community meetings will be held at convenient locations to facilitate the participation of a representative cross-section of residents from different neighborhoods and demographics. Winter Consulting will prepare a list of community stakeholders to conduct in-depth interviews. Their ability to capture and synthesize valuable input from stakeholder interviews enables the team to help guide the strategy of the outreach plan and provide an early indicator of how the planning process will be received. By integrating listening sessions in one-on-one and focus group formats, we will ensure that we are made aware of community sentiments and sensitivities on current conditions, general perceptions on the planning process, and ideas for how to align the Specific Plan with community goals. These interviews will not only inform, frame, and guide this planning effort and its associated engagement strategies, it will also strengthen the City’s image in the eyes of the community and create the groundwork for stronger working partnerships for future initiatives.
The proposed Work Plan assumes:
o Three (3) public workshops (2 in-person, 1 virtual)
o Two (2) open houses (in-person)..

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 grade-crossing 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 (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 Docusign Envelope ID: F54AE917-0C0C-44C9-8AB4-F3E9D07CBAD2 Docusign Envelope ID: 8D4F3037-15B8-4DE7-87AF-2DDAE9C9424C

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 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 Docusign Envelope ID: F54AE917-0C0C-44C9-8AB4-F3E9D07CBAD2 Docusign Envelope ID: 8D4F3037-15B8-4DE7-87AF-2DDAE9C9424C

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, we will identify any needed changes to the Preferred Alternative. We 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 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, we will prepare a memorandum 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. We 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. We anticipate 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 pedestrian-orientation 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. We anticipate 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.).

Amendment 1
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 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 (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 netadded 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.

Outreach and coordination with the Santa Clara Department of Public Works. Providing the consultant team with City’s existing traffic model to use for conducting analysis.
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 Docusign Envelope ID: F54AE917-0C0C-44C9-8AB4-F3E9D07CBAD2 Docusign Envelope ID: 8D4F3037-15B8-4DE7-87AF-2DDAE9C9424C

9.1: Infrastructure/Public Services and Implementation
Strategic Economics will lead this task with input from Arup, CHS Consulting and WRT for roughorder-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.
9.2: Infrastructure and Amenities Financing
This task is focused on determining the necessary infrastructure (including water treatment facilities), cost estimates, and phasing to implement the Specific Plan. The WRT team will identify the specific cost of the infrastructure items and the impact fees associated with each to assist the City with bringing forward an area impact fee to City Council.

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 GP 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:

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.
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.

Upon completion of the kick-off meeting DJP&A will prepare the project description (including the project objectives) for review and approval.
Once the project description is complete all technical consultants will initiate work and DJP&A will prepare the administrative draft Notice of Preparation (NOP) for review. The NOP will be revised and finalized based on comments received. Once finalized, the NOP will be provided in electronic format for posting and submittal to the State Clearinghouse.
During circulation of the NOP, DJP&A will attend the project scoping meeting. During the meeting, DJP&A will assist City staff in explaining the CEQA process and recording all questions/comments. After the scoping meeting, DJP&A will compile all verbal and written comments for review by the project team and incorporate responses as necessary into the EIR. After approval of the project description and submittal of the NOP, DJP&A will prepare the administrative draft EIR. The existing conditions discussion will utilize the information compiled under Task 3 to the extent possible. The analysis will be based on existing data from the General Plan, General Plan EIR, other relevant certified CEQA documents, DJP&As knowledge of the project area, and new technical reports commissioned for this project. Once the preliminary analysis is complete, DJP&A will discuss the conclusions with the project team at a regularly scheduled meeting to determine range of alternatives to be analyzed in the EIR. Plans, renderings, and/or additional data may be necessary from the project team to complete the alternatives analysis.
Upon completion of the administrative draft EIR, DJP&A will submit the EIR to the project team for review.
Once all comments are received, DJP&A will review comments with the team at a regularly scheduled meeting to ensure that all comments are addressed and to identify any additional data that may be required from the team.

Supp. 6 – Santa Clara Station Area Specific Plan
Amendment 1
Budget for these two scope items is provided as separate line items in the budget spreadsheet.
Task 12: Board, Planning Commission, and City Council Meetings WRT will attend and support staff in presenting the Specific Plan at study sessions and public hearings before the City of Santa Clara’s Planning Commission and City Council to adopt the Plan. Specifically, this includes two (2) Planning Commission Study Sessions, two (2) City Council Study Sessions, one Planning Commission recommendation hearing, and one City Council adoption hearing. The Consultant will also prepare PowerPoint presentations for Planning Commission and City Council Meetings and assist with supplying materials to support the staff reports.
WRT staff will assist with and attend up to one (1) VTA Board of Directors Meeting and up to two (2) VTA Administrative & Finance Committee Meetings in preparation for the board meeting, as requested.
Task 12.1: Planning Commission Study Sessions and Hearings The WRT team will make changes to the Draft Final Specific Plan (text and/or graphics) based on the Planning Commission's recommendations.
Task 12.2: VTA Board, City Council Study Sessions, and Hearings The WRT team will make changes to the Draft Final Specific (text and/or graphics) based on the City Council's recommendations.
Deliverables (12.1 and 12.2):
• Attend Planning Commission Study Sessions (up to 2)
• Attend Planning Commission Recommendation Hearing (1) • Attend City Council Study Sessions (up to 2)
• Attend City Council Adoption Hearing (1)

• Administrative & Finance Committee Meetings (up to 2) • PowerPoint Presentations
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.

Supp. 6 – Santa Clara Station Area Specific Plan
Amendment 1
13.2. Water Assessment Study: We have assumed that the Water Supply Assessment will be completed by the water service provider and given to us by the City. If a new Water Assessment report is required for this Specific Plan, an additional budget will be required.
13.3. CBO stipends: Based on the final engagement strategy, the list of 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 street-facing 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. We recommend, 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.
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

Amendment 1
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.

The BART Silicon Valley Phase II Station Area Access and TOD Study will develop a unified TOD implementation strategy for the corridor and station areas. The Study will identify multimodal access needs and TOD opportunities to promote redevelopment and accessibility along the 6.5-mile corridor spanning 28th Street/Little Portugal, Downtown San José, Diridon, and Santa Clara.
Project Benefits
This project creates a corridor-wide, multimodal focus for TOD planning that cannot be realized through conventional planning efforts. The attractiveness and convenience of transit will be significantly diminished if access and circulation around each station are not well-planned, thus reducing the effectiveness of TOD.
In addition, unified corridor planning is the most effective way to achieve desired reductions in auto trips to destinations in the TOD area.

This project will generate broad-based consensus among a diverse range of public and private stakeholders in San José and Santa Clara on strategy implementation. Efforts will include public agency coordination to facilitate the following: TOD land assembly and acquisition design guidelines for private buildings and public spaces; and project implementation coordination to stimulate economic development.
The project will identify how to leverage and coordinate land use policies, circulation and parking improvements, public space enhancements, and public finance tools to attract and accommodate a larger share of future regional growth. Overall, the project will establish a foundation for sustainable redevelopment along the Phase II corridor to benefit increased transit ridership, economic development, and station areas' vibrancy.
VTA will take the lead on crafting a Design Development Framework (DDF) for VTA-owned property above and adjacent to the 28th Street/Little Portugal Station in San José. The DDF will serve as a guidebook for potential future developers during the TOD proposal stage and beyond, documented in the Design Development Framework Final Documentation. This documentation will be supplemented by a presentation by VTA staff to the VTA Board of Directors on the Design for Development Framework process and outcomes.
VTA will work in partnership with the City of San José to update the Five Wounds Urban Village Plan, the study area of which includes the BART Phase II 28th Street/Little Portugal Station. Key deliverables from that effort will be the Stakeholder Engagement Plan and the Updated Five Wounds Urban Village Plan. At the BART Phase II 28th Santa Clara Station, VTA will partner with the City of Santa Clara as they develop the Santa Clara Station Area Specific Plan. Key deliverables from that effort will be Santa Clara Station Area Specific Plan and the accompanying City Council Presentation and Staff Report.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action to Authorize City Manager to Execute Amendment No. 1 to the Teri Black & Co., LLC.
Agreement to Increase the Maximum Compensation and Delegate Authority to Approve Future Similar Amendments to all Existing Master Recruiting Agreements for Services through 2028
COUNCIL PILLAR
Enhance Community Engagement and Transparency
BACKGROUND
The City currently has a vacancy rate of approximately 14%. The majority of the recruitments to fill these vacancies are facilitated by the Human Resources Department.
In late 2022, staff issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) to establish a master list of recruitment firms to assist in the recruiting process for classified, unclassified, and sworn positions. The selected firms would be primarily used to assist with harder to fill, specialized recruitments.
Sixteen proposals were received and evaluated by a panel of Human Resource professionals. Based on the evaluation, six firms were selected to enter into master agreements to provide full-service recruitment support for vacancies on an as-required basis.
These master agreements lay out all of the City’s terms and conditions, general scope of work, pricing and insurance requirements, thus expediting the process by not having to establish separate agreements for each individual recruitment. Task orders are issued by Human Resources to notify the vendor of specific assignments and initiate work. Each agreement has a five-year term through 2028 and a maximum compensation of $250,000, which falls within the City Manager’s signature authority. The six selected recruiting firms are:
1. All Star Talent Consulting
2. Berkeley Search Consultants
3. CPS HR Consulting
4. J. Powers Recruiting, Inc.
5. Peckham and McKenney
6. Teri Black & Co., LLC
Due to the number of vacancies city-wide and the challenges in recruiting for certain positions, the City has utilized Teri Black & Co., LLC. to recruit for several high level and specialized positions in the City Attorney’s Office, City Manager’s Office, Electric Utility Department, and Water & Sewer Utilities Department. Teri Black & Co., LLC. has been successful in finding candidates that were ultimately selected for some of the City’s positions, including the positions of Assistant City Attorney and Deputy City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 3 Printed on 5/9/2025
powered by Legistar™
25-442 Agenda Date: 5/13/2025
City Attorney. Teri Black & Co., LLC. is currently recruiting for the Director of Water & Sewer Utilities, Assistant Director of Water & Sewer Utilities, and Assistant City Manager positions.
DISCUSSION
To date, $224,200 of the available $250,000 under the agreement with Teri Black & Co., LLC has been allocated. Staff recommends approving Amendment No. 1 to increase the agreement’s maximum compensation from $250,000 to $500,000 to support ongoing and future recruitment needs through 2028.
While this amendment addresses the immediate need for additional funds on the Teri & Black Co., LLC, agreement, it is anticipated that other firms on the master list may also exceed their original $250,000 limits due to future recruiting demands.
To streamline the process and avoid the need to return to Council for each amendment, staff also recommends delegating to the City Manager the authority to approve future amendments within appropriated amounts to increase the maximum compensation for any or all of the master recruiting agreements, subject to pricing set forth in the master agreements, provided that no individual agreement exceeds a total maximum compensation of $500,000 over the contract term ending in 2028. On December 12, 2023, Council approved an amendment to the J. Powers Recruiting, Inc. contract not to exceed $500,000.
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.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of a full-service or referral-based recruitments varies by recruiting firm. The decision to utilize an external recruiting firm to conduct a recruitment is coordinated with the hiring Department.
The hiring Department is responsible for the full cost of the recruitment. This cost is absorbed by those departments using existing funding, typically vacancy savings from the positions being recruited.
For the recommended amendment to the Teri Black & Co., LLC. Agreement, the additional compensation of $250,000 may be split between various Departments, if Departments opt to use this recruiting firm.
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] or at the public information desk at any City of Santa Clara public library.

@SantaClaraCity
25-451 Agenda Date: 5/13/2025
REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action to reallocate Community Development Block Grant funds and to amend the Contribution Agreement with Riverwood Grove Associates to Increase the Not to Exceed Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funding Amount From $350,000 to $950,000.
BACKGROUND
On May 9, 2023, City Council approved the 2023/2024 Annual Action Plan (RTC# 23-181) which recommended Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding for Riverwood Grove apartments (also referred to as MidPen) for energy efficiency improvements in the amount of $350,000. The Riverwood Grove complex consists of 71 affordable rental apartments. The property manager is planning to eliminate gas usage at the property to conserve energy, reduce environmental impacts, and to improve indoor air quality for residents. This project helps address the City’s Consolidated Plan goals of Improvements to Affordable Housing for the benefit of low/moderate income residents. The project will help eliminate gas usage at the property by making upgrades to the electrical panel systems. This will facilitate switching major heating and cooling systems to electric. This upgrade has been requested by Riverwood Grove management to lower operating costs over time.
On August 27, 2024, City Council approved the Sobrato Family Living Center rehab project (RTC# 24 -612) for $843,000. This project was for bathroom, kitchen, windows and balcony rehabilitation. The project experienced delays and some tenants were not willing to temporarily relocate for the rehabilitation process. It became apparent that this project was not viable and that CDBG funds would need to be reallocated quickly. The agreement was not finalized, and staff looked where to pivot the money for timely spending.
Due to slow spending of CDBG funds, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) required the City to create a CDBG Timeliness Workout Plan. Staff prepared a spending plan, and HUD approved it December 2024. The Sobrato project was a large part of this spending plan. When it was determined that the Sobrato project was no longer viable, staff looked to move funds to another active affordable housing rehabilitation project. It was determined that the Riverwood Grove project was quickly moving forward and in need of more funding above the original $350,000. It is staff’s recommendation that an additional $600,000 be reallocated to the Riverwood Grove project from the Sobrato Family Living Center project. The remaining balance of $243,000 will be redirected to the NCIP home rehabilitation program.
DISCUSSION
The larger electrification project at Riverwood Grove includes two phases. The first phase involves upgrading electrical panels and the second phase involves replacing water heaters, HVAC, and other gas-powered equipment. Initially, Riverwood Grove Associates intended to use CDBG funds together with Silicon Valley Power (SVP) Public Benefit funds via a custom multifamily electrification City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 3 Printed on 5/9/2025
powered by Legistar™
25-451 Agenda Date: 5/13/2025
together with Silicon Valley Power (SVP) Public Benefit funds via a custom multifamily electrification pilot rebate program to complete phase one. By adding more CDBG funds to phase one for timely spending, SVP has agreed to apply the Public Benefit funds to phase two of the project.
In addition, the scope of work has increased to include a feeder upgrade. If the feeder is not upgraded concurrently with the sub-panel upgrade, it will incur additional costs. It is cost efficient to install these components at the same time. The proposed amendment to the Riverwood Grove Associates agreement is included as Attachment 1 and includes this increased scope of work.
The amount being added to this project exceeds the City Manager’s delegation of authority which is why this is being brought forward for City Council approval. Staff still recommends a delegation of authority to the City Manager to increase this contract amount if legitimate cost increases arise and if capital dollars from CDBG funds are available, although the need for additional funds beyond the proposed amendment is not expected. Any increase to this project budget would come from CDBG capital funds and would not reduce CDBG funding for public service programs.
Moving funds into this project is the most efficient way to spend accumulated CDBG capital dollars. It is critical that these funds are utilized quickly if the City is to achieve the spending goals in the CDBG Timeliness Workout Plan approved by HUD in December 2024.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered qualifies as a Categorical Exemption per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) section 15301 (e)(1), Existing Facilities in that the projects are limited to repairs and upgrades to systems serving existing residential units.
FISCAL IMPACT
This project will be funded using federal HUD CDBG entitlement funds. This project budget was carried over as part of the FY 2023/24 Budget Year-End Report, approved by the City Council on December 3, 2024.
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] <mailto:[email protected]>.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Determine the project to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the Categorical Exemption set forth in Section 15301 (e)(1) (improvements to Existing Facilities) in that the project is limited to repairs and upgrades to systems serving existing residential units;
2. Approve and authorize reallocation of six hundred thousand dollars ($600,000) of CDBG Funds from the Sobrato Family Living Center project to the Riverwood Grove apartments project;
3. Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Contribution City of Santa Clara Page 2 of 3 Printed on 5/9/2025

Agreement with Riverwood Grove Associates to increase the not to exceed CDBG Funding Amount From $350,000 to $950,000 and repeal and replace Exhibits A, B, H, I and J, on the terms presented, in final forms approved by the City Attorney;
4. Authorize the City Manager to execute other necessary documents to effectuate this amendment, including the reconveyance of the original deed of trust for $350,000 after execution of the new promissory note and deed of trust for $950,000; and
5. Delegate authority to the City Manager to amend the Contribution Agreement with Riverwood Grove Associates to increase the not to exceed contract amount by up to $250,000 if City staff approved project cost increases arise, and if CDBG capital funds are available in final forms approved by the City Attorney.

1.01 Purpose of Project
Organization shall implement this Agreement in accordance with the applicable provisions of Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1990, as amended, the federal regulations as set forth in 24 CFR Part 570, written interpretations, or requirements by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and all other rules and regulations pertaining thereto. All these elements shall be collectively called “CDBG".
The nature of the project is such, that a detailed scope entailed communication with an electrical consultant, energy consultant, and Silicon Valley Powers (the utility provider) before the scope was finalized for electrical panel upgrade work.
Scope of Work
The electrical consultant has worked closely with the Energy Consultant, Mid-Pen Project Manager and Construction Manager to establish a detailed scope of work for the construction scope. To enhance cost-effectiveness, in addition to the sub-panel upgrade work, the feeder upgrade was added to the scope. If the feeder is not upgraded concurrently with the sub-panel upgrade, it will incur additional costs. This is because the future installation of the feeder will necessitate the removal of the newly installed sub-panels to install and terminate the new feeders, thereby duplicating the labor involved in the sub-panel replacement.
The final scope of work consists of the following:
1. Installation of replacement 125 Amp rated/ 30 space sub-panels in each unit (71 total units). Sub panels shall be 25-Amp rated; 120/240v Rated Single Phase, Three Wire; Copper bus; 30 spaces; MLO; 10,000 AIC; Lugs capable for up to #2/0 aluminum; Flush mounted, indoor rated. Breakers are to be replaced like for like for all existing.
Lighting and receptacle circuits to be replaced with AFCI protection.
Contractor to confirm exact quantities per unit type. GFCI protection is on the outlets and is not to be modified in the panel schedule. Install panel such that the top of the top breaker is not higher than 48” AFF.
Amendment No. 1 to Riverwood CIP Agreement Exhibit B
Revised 10/25/19
2. Provide the following breakers for future all-electric renovation: (1) 40A/2 stove (GFCI) and (1) 30A/2 heat pump water heater. Adequate breaker space shall remain unused and available for a future breaker for a heat pump space heater (likely 15A/2 or 20A/2). The breaker for the future heat pump space heater is not required in this Scope of Work. New branch circuits are not required in this Scope of Work.
3. Installation of the new 125A#02/0 AL SER feeders from the main panels at each building to the new sub-panels in each unit. The 60A/2 main panel breakers feeding the apartment sub panels are to remain and will be replaced in the future.
4. Surface mount for the new feeders acceptable in the private garages in Buildings 2, Building 3, and Building 4. The new feeders are to be run in the wall cavity and/or the stucco wall on the exterior of the maintenance shop from meter main to the units in Building 5.
5. Trenching, exterior conduit feeds, penetrations in the parking garage ceiling, and modifications or replacements of raceways/wire racks, as needed for the new feeders, from the meter main to the units in Building 1.
6. Ceilings and walls will be opened to accommodate the new feeder installation inside the units as needed. Wall studs, backing, nail protection, strapping, Drywall repairs, texture, and painting inside the units. Owner to provide the paint color codes and contractor to purchase/provide paint product.

@SantaClaraCity
25-456 Agenda Date: 5/13/2025
REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action to Authorize the Use of City Electric Forces for Public Works at 1111 Washington Street and 2089 Bray Avenue
COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
Section 1310 of the Santa Clara City Charter (Contracts on Public Works) states “that every contract involving an expenditure of more than one thousand dollars ($1,000) for the construction or improvement (excluding maintenance and repair) of public buildings, works, streets, drains, sewers, utilities, parks and playgrounds shall be let to the lowest responsible bidder.” The section further states that “the City Council may declare and determine that, in its opinion, the work in question may be performed better or more economically by the City with its own employees, and after the adoption of a resolution to this effect by at least four affirmative votes, it may proceed to have said work done in the manner stated, without further observance of the provisions of this section.”
DISCUSSION
Staff believes that the work described below is better performed with City forces based upon the following factors: (1) the work is limited in size and scope; (2) City forces have knowledge and training in operating and maintaining the electric system that can be leveraged to more economically perform this work; and (3) bidding out the work and contracting with a private entity would not likely result in a lower overall cost or time savings. Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council declares and determines that City forces can better perform the installation of the following electric facilities and approve the use of City forces.
Estimate Number: 39588
Location: 1111 Washington Street
Type of Service: New Business (2005)
Description of Work: New underground service.
Estimated Cost: $57,086
Appropriation: Electric Utility Capital Fund (591) Project 2005 - New Business Estimate Work
Source of Revenue: Customer Service Charges
Estimate Number: 39986
Location: 2089 Bray Avenue
Type of Service: New Business (2005)
Description of Work: Provide new overhead service for temporary soil excavation site.

Estimated Cost: $3,629
Appropriation: Electric Utility Capital Fund (591) Project 2005 - New Business Estimate Work
Source of Revenue: Customer/Developer Contribution
Historically, City staff has performed small project work like this under the use of City Forces exception and justification above. In preparation for the implementation and roll out of the new Arcos crew management system scheduled to go live in spring/summer 2025, SVP staff will be developing a process to review this practice on a routine basis to provide further support for this approach.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Staff recommends that the City Council determine that the action being considered is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to section 15303 (Class 3 - New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations as the proposed work involves the installation of electric facilities involving negligible expansion of capacity.
FISCAL IMPACT
The funds to support the staff time for work performed by Silicon Valley Power (SVP) and related construction materials for the work detailed in this report totaling $60,715 are included in the FY 2024/25 Adopted CIP Budget, in the New Business Estimate Work project in the Electric Utility Capital Fund. All referenced work will be performed by City SVP staff. Some work associated with encroachment permits may be performed by the Department of Public Works (DPW). DPW costs are recovered through payment of permit fees.
COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Finance Department and City Attorney’s Office.
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 action is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15303 (Class 3 - New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations; and
2. Declare and determine in accordance with Section 1310 of the City Charter that the public works located at 1111 Washington Street and 2089 Bray Avenue are better performed by the City with its own employees based on the information set forth in this Report to Council and authorize the performance of the public works consistent with this authorization.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on Adopting a Resolution to Delegate Authority to the City Manager to Execute Amendments to the United States Department of Energy Western Area Power Administration Sierra Nevada Region Contract for Electric Service Base Resource Contract 20-SNR-02364 for Calendar Years 2025 through 2054
COUNCIL PILLAR
Promote Sustainability and Environmental Protection
BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clara’s Electric Department, Silicon Valley Power (SVP), purchases power generated at federally owned hydroelectric facilities that make up the Central Valley Project (CVP Base Resource) through a contract with the United States Department of Energy’s (DOE) power market administrator, Western Area Power Administration (WAPA). On February 9, 2021, the City Council adopted a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute Contract 20-SNR-02364 (hereafter referred to as “Base Resource Contract”). The Base Resource Contract is also referred to as the “United States Department of Energy Western Area Power Administration Sierra Nevada Region Contract for Electric Services Base Resource.” The current Base Resource Contract began on January 1, 2025, and will expire on December 31, 2054.
The CVP Base Resource provides approximately 10% of the City’s annual retail electricity sales during an average hydrological year. This energy comes from 100% carbon-free resources and helps maintain SVP’s low carbon intensity of its electricity supply portfolio.
From time to time, WAPA works with its customers to increase the economic value of the CVP Base Resource through new programs or changing its operations. Some of the new processes or programs require an amendment to the Base Resource Contract.
DISCUSSION
Currently, SVP receives CVP Base Resource energy as an import from one balancing area, the Balancing Area of Northern California (BANC), to another balancing area, the California Independent System Operator (CAISO). The BANC is the balancing authority where the CVP Base Resource is located, and the CAISO is SVP’s balancing authority. SVP incurs a fee for every megawatt hour (MWH) of energy imported from the BANC to the CAISO. Furthermore, SVP is subject to transmission access charges (TAC) by the CAISO for the delivery of energy to serve SVP’s load.
WAPA is currently offering up to 33 MW of transmission service that could be used to deliver a portion of the existing Base Resource energy to SVP based on the monthly rate set forth in WAPA’s Rate Schedule PACI-T4 (or successor). By using the transmission service offered, SVP could save a City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 2 Printed on 5/9/2025
powered by Legistar™
25-465 Agenda Date: 5/13/2025
substantial amount of money through reduced fees and TAC charges.
To enable SVP to acquire up to 33 MW of transmission service through the end of calendar year 2026, SVP will be required to enter into Amendment #1 to the Base Resource Contract. Staff is anticipating a need for additional amendments as similar cost-saving opportunities arise. Therefore, staff recommend that the City Council delegate authority to the City Manager to negotiate and execute future amendments to the Base Resource Contract when it benefits the City and its ratepayers.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The actions being considered do not constitute “projects” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to section 15378(b)(4) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations in that they are fiscal activities that do not involve the commitment to a specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
Pursuant to WAPA’s current Rate Schedule PACI-T4, the estimated cost of acquiring up to 33 MW of PCI transmission service will be $31,020 per month or $372,240 annually. The amount of TAC charges avoided alone is estimated at $2,608,198 per year. The estimated annual savings could be $2,235,958. The amount of savings may vary each month depending on the amount of Base Resource energy received each month, the TAC rate, and WAPA’s Rate Schedule PACI-T4 rate.
Costs and revenues are incorporated into SVP’s operating budget.
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] <mailto:[email protected]>.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager or designee to (a) negotiate and execute Amendment #1 to United States Department of Energy Western Area Power Administration Sierra Nevada Region Contract for Electric Service Base Resource Contract 20-SNR-02364 for Calendar Years 2025 through 2054 (Agreement) and to (b) take any necessary actions to implement and administer the Agreement and (c) negotiate and execute future amendments to the Agreement so long as such amendments will result in cost savings to the City of Santa Clara, or at a minimum be cost neutral, subject to the appropriation of funds, and the review and approval as to form by the City Attorney.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on the Updated Park Master Plan with Preferred Playground Schematic Design for the Warburton Park Playground Rehabilitation Project, and Introduction of an Ordinance to Ensure Compliance with Measure R
COUNCIL PILLARS
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure Enhance Community Sports, Recreational and Arts Assets
BACKGROUND
Warburton Park & Pool (Park) is located at 2250 Royal Drive, bounded by Los Padres Boulevard to the west and residential properties to the east and south. The 3.95-acre Park was dedicated to the City in 1954 and has an existing master plan (Attachment 1) that contains an open field play area, playground, basketball court, and various park amenities. The pool and restroom building were funded by a 1959 bond measure and dedicated in August 1962. The 2018 Facility Condition Assessment (Kitchell CEM) found the playground and park amenities to be in poor condition, while the pool is in fair condition, and the building is in good condition. The City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes plans to rehabilitate the playground and park amenities. In FY 2020/21, the Parks & Recreation Department (Department) initiated the Warburton Park Playground Rehabilitation Project as part of the CIP program, with funding for the design phase drawn from Mitigation Fee Act funds.
On February 7, 2023, the City Council approved an agreement with O’Dell Engineering, Inc. (RTC 23 -1517, Attachment 2) for engineering services to develop an updated park master plan and playground schematic design in support of the Warburton Park Playground Rehabilitation Project.
The services include a consultant-led community input process, site assessment, development of a schematic design, and preparation of cost estimates. The scope of services for community input includes onsite community pop-up meeting(s), online surveys, Parks & Recreation Commission (Commission) and Council meetings.
On July 18, 2023, staff initiated the public input phase of the project at the regular meeting of the Commission. The Commission received a presentation by Westwood Professional Services, Inc. (formerly O’Dell Engineering, Inc., Consultant) on the project scope and timeline to develop the schematic design.
The public engagement process included two community pop-up input sessions: one at the Sunset Cinema event in Warburton Park on July 28, 2023, and one at the City’s Street Dance on August 4, 2023, to collect input from the community on the recreational needs, as well as to explore the playground design priorities. Concurrently, an online survey was made available to residents from City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 5 Printed on 5/9/2025
powered by Legistar™
25-195 Agenda Date: 5/13/2025
July 19 to August 14, 2023, to provide input and feedback. The engagement process included approximately 275 participants/responses in the online survey and 550 responses gathered during the two outdoor events.
The survey results include priorities for site amenities, priorities for playground renovation, and priorities for additional recreation opportunities. The public reported their top five favorite activities at the park are:
1. Walking (58.7%)
2. Playing in the playground (57.6%)
3. Using the pool (53.9%)
4. Picnicking at the park (48.3%)
5. Enjoying nature (48.0%)
The top five preferred amenities for renovation included:
1. Playground rehabilitated with inclusive equipment (67.2%)
2. Updating of site furniture (47.6%)
3. Adding a looped walking path (47.3%)
4. Offering several small picnic areas (35.2%)
5. Nature areas with drought-tolerant landscaping (35.2%) The top playground elements reported were:
1. Swinging (81.8%)
2. Climbing (81.0%)
3. Sliding (79.3%)
4. Balancing (62.0%)
5. Free play (52.9%)
6. Running (52.9%)
7. Musical equipment (45.0%)
Other key comments included the desire to not have wood or sand as safety surfacing, to provide shade, add more seating, and provide multi-generational activities. A few comments were received regarding off-leash dog areas and pickleball court options. These two elements were deemed unsuitable for this park due to the nearby dog park (Raymond G. Gamma Dog Park), the off-leash dog area at Marsalli Park, and noise concerns due to proximity to adjacent neighborhood homes.
However, a pickleball court striping overlay on the basketball courts may be considered in the future to allow casual play for residents.
On February 10, 2025, the Commission received a presentation (Attachment 3) and reviewed the site analysis results, feedback from the community outreach, and design considerations. Two conceptual design options were presented, each designed to incorporate elements identified during community outreach, while meeting the goals of providing a unique and inclusive neighborhood park that welcomes residents of all ages and abilities while supporting Santa Clara’s growing population. The Commission made a recommendation to City Council for Option 2 (Warburton Park Master Plan Update, Attachment 4).
DISCUSSION
The recommended Warburton Park Master Plan Update provides zones for different types of recreation and includes key entry points from Los Padres Blvd, Royal Drive, the pool area, and the City of Santa Clara Page 2 of 5 Printed on 5/9/2025
powered by Legistar™
25-195 Agenda Date: 5/13/2025
parking lot. The plan incorporates park features/amenities identified during the outreach process, with a central plaza area enclosed by seat walls at the intersection of pathways, forming a gateway to the pool area through playground and picnic area(s).
This concept adds the following features and amenities:
· Large shade sails over most of the playground area,
· Looped playground pedestrian pathway,
· Small picnic area pods,
· Preservation of a larger green space,
· Music station,
· Group picnic area with shade canopy,
· Open gardens adjacent to pedestrian pathways,
· Fitness course area for ages 13+, and
· Basketball court increase by ½ court,
The plan prioritizes the preservation of mature, healthy existing trees, while unhealthy and high-risk trees will be removed and replaced. New plantings are included to screen the pool areas and neighboring residential properties, aligning with the overall natural, low-water-use planting concept.
Although the pool building, pool area and parking lot are not included in the renovation scope, their use, circulation requirements, and view corridors have been considered in the overall design.
Renovation of the pool building, and pool area may be addressed using Measure I Bond funding in a subsequent phase of the project.
The Warburton Park Master Plan Update includes renovated picnic areas, site furniture such as benches, and access to ADA parking and pavement that meets current health and safety codes and best practices for public parks. Safety fencing will be installed along the street edge of the playground. To accommodate both people and pets, a hydration station will be added that features a drinking fountain, water bottle filler and pet bowl. Lighting will be upgraded to LED fixtures and shade will be provided through the addition of trees and canopies. Buffer planting is included along the pool deck edge and the property fencing along the adjacent homes. A looped walking trail is included to address the priority of increasing walking space. The remaining natural turf area is spacious enough to accommodate multi-use activities, such as Sunset Cinema and field games.
Upon Council approval of the Warburton Park Master Plan Update and preferred playground schematic design, the City will undertake Phase II design development work, preparing the playground construction plans and specifications in compliance with the City’s construction standards and the public bid process, and sole source the playground equipment that was approved by the Parks and Recreation Commission. An item for City Council consideration to amend the Consultant’s agreement for Phase II of design development is planned for the May 27, 2025, City Council Agenda.
Measure R Compliance
The recommendation for approval of an update to the Warburton Park Master Plan may be subject to Measure R. In November 2016, voters passed Measure R, which added Section 714.1 Protection of Parkland and Public Open Space to the City Charter. Measure R prohibits selling, leasing, or otherwise disposing of parkland for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days or more, and prohibits its use from changing, being abandoned, or discontinued without such sale, lease, disposal or changed use having first been authorized or ratified by a two-thirds majority vote of the electorate City of Santa Clara Page 3 of 5 Printed on 5/9/2025

25-195 Agenda Date: 5/13/2025
during a general municipal election for that purpose. Measure R also prohibits changes in park use for over 180 days without a majority vote of the electorate and substantial building, construction, reconstruction, or development upon dedicated parkland except pursuant to ordinance subject to referendum. The referendum process is set forth in the Elections Code.
The Warburton Park Master Plan update and the preferred playground schematic design, if approved, will include changes to the existing park that may be considered as “substantial building, construction, reconstruction, or development.” The approval of the proposed site master plan, playground schematic design and subsequent park rehabilitation project will require an ordinance to comply with Measure R that will be recommended for the Council’s consideration to be introduced concurrent with the master plan approval. The proposed project does not include a sale, lease, disposal, or change in use requiring a majority vote of the electorate. Therefore, staff recommends that Council approve the Warburton Park Master Plan Update, with the preferred playground schematic design, and introduce an ordinance (Attachment 5) to ensure compliance with Measure R.
The ordinance authorizes the substantial building, construction, reconstruction, and development of Warburton Park per the Warburton Park Master Plan Update. The ordinance will be presented to Council for a second reading and adoption at a future meeting.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to the following sections of the CEQA Guidelines:
Section 15302 (Class 2 - Replacement or Reconstruction), in that the project would replace and reconstruct existing facilities on the same site and with substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced.
Section 1503 (Class 3 - New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures), in that the project will construct limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures and equipment.
Section 15304 (Class 4 - Minor Alterations), and 15304(b) (Class 4(b) - Replacement of Existing Landscaping with Water Efficient Landscaping), in that the project will make minor alterations in the condition of land, water and/or vegetation which do not involve the removal of healthy, mature scenic trees.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City Council approved the outreach and design agreement with Westwood Professional Services, Inc. (formerly O’Dell Engineering, Inc. for Phase I) on February 7, 2023, with a maximum compensation amount of $128,425 (Attachment 6). The Warburton Park Playground Rehabilitation project has a current budget of $1,124,451 in the Parks and Recreation Capital Fund. The cost for Phase II detail design development and construction will be based upon the approved Warburton Park Master Plan Update for the Schematic Design and Project Scope from Phase I. Additional funding will be needed for Phase II and staff will present a recommendation to Council at the time of the construction contract award.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on an Agreement with O’Dell Engineering, Inc. for Design Professional Services for the Warburton Park Playground Rehabilitation Project
COUNCIL PILLARS
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure Enhance Community Sports, Recreational and Arts Assets
BACKGROUND
Warburton Park & Pool (Park) is located at 2250 Royal Drive, bounded by Los Padres Boulevard to the west and residential properties to the east and south. The 3.95-acre Park was dedicated in 1954 and contains an open play area, playground, basketball court, and various park amenities. The pool and restroom building were funded by a 1959 bond measure and dedicated in August 1962. The 2018 facility condition assessment found that the playground and amenities are in poor condition and the building is in good condition. However, since then, the pool infrastructure, heating and mechanical systems have required extensive repairs, are in fair condition and will require further needs assessment. Currently, the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes plans to rehabilitate the playground and park amenities.
Typically, park rehabilitation projects are completed in two phases. Phase I services include a consultant-led community input process, development ofa schematic design, and preparation of cost estimates. It includes onsite and remote community meeting(s), online surveys, Parks & Recreation Commission (PRC) and Council meetings. Phase II services include the consultant producing Plans, Specifications, and an Engineer’s Estimate (PS&E), preparing bid documents, assisting with prebid/pre-construction, obtaining permits and construction/post-construction activities. Phase II is contingent upon the Council’s approval to proceed after completion of Phase I services.
DISCUSSION
Pursuant to City Code Section 2.105.140(c) and State laws governing procurement of architectural and engineering services, the City followed a qualifications-based selection process whereby proposers are evaluated and the most qualified is selected, subject to negotiation of fair and reasonable compensation.
In August 2022, the City published a Request for Proposal (RFP) seeking proposals from qualified engineering firms to provide engineering services to develop a park master design and construction documents for the Warburton Park & Pool and Henry Schmidt Park Rehabilitation Projects. Two proposals were received from the following firms:
· David L. Gates & Associates, Inc. (Gates)
City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 3 Printed on 4/28/2025
powered by Legistar™
23-1517 Agenda Date: 2/7/2023
· O’Dell Engineering, Inc. (O’Dell)
The proposals were independently evaluated by a three-member evaluation team. Both firms were invited to participate in oral interviews to introduce their proposed project team members and demonstrate their experience and capacity to meet the City’s requirements. After concluding the evaluation process, the evaluation team recommended award of the Warburton Park & Playground Rehabilitation Project to O’Dell and the Henry Schmidt Park Rehabilitation Project to Gates. Staff will bring the agreement with Gates for approval under a separate report.
The term of the proposed agreement with O’Dell is through December 31, 2025. The maximum compensation is $128,425 for Phase I services which includes optional services of $19,040, and a 10% contingency in the amount of $11,675. Staff will return to Council for Phase II services after Council and the Parks & Recreation Commission have reviewed and approved the final schematic design at the end of Phase I. In addition to the services described in this report for Phase I and Phase II, O’Dell will assess the feasibility of converting the existing pool heater from gas to electric and assist staff with obtaining any available rebates from the City’s Silicon Valley Power Department as noted in the optional services of the proposed agreement.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is for design professional services and the action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") Guidelines section 15378 because it does not pose a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed Agreement for O’Dell Engineering Inc. is for a total not-to-exceed amount of $128,425 for Phase I services which includes a 10% contingency in the amount of $11,675. The contingency is to be used for additional services due to the age of the playground, park site, buildings and potential unforeseen conditions that may require additional effort. There is sufficient funding of $1,331,800 for this agreement in the Warburton Park Playground Rehabilitation Project in the Parks & Recreation Capital Fund.
COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Parks & Recreation Department, Public Works Department, 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.

Redwood trees-
• Safety issues due to utility topping
• Species is not suited to Santa Clara due to need for fog and precipitation. • Potential risk to neighboring homes and park patrons.
Other speciesSafety issues due to trees weakened by age, pest, and disease.
Total tree replacement increases about 50%-80 new trees. (52 replaced, additional 28 planted)
