REPORT TO STADIUM AUTHORITY BOARD
SUBJECT
Informational Report on Stadium Authority and Stadium Manager Meetings for the Period of July 1 to September 30, 2025
BACKGROUND
On August 24, 2017, the Stadium Authority approved the Harvey Rose Audit titled “Comprehensive Audit of Stadium”. Audit recommendation 1.Q states that “the Stadium Authority Board should direct the Executive Director to require that all meetings, including the date and purpose of the meetings, between Stadium Authority and Stadium Manager staff be documented and reported quarterly or annually to the Stadium Authority Board.” Staff has implemented this audit recommendation on a quarterly basis.
On August 25, 2020, the Stadium Authority Board provided additional direction to staff to prepare minutes for all future Stadium Authority and Stadium Manager staff meetings.
DISCUSSION
In accordance with the Board approved audit recommendation, meetings between Stadium Authority and Stadium Manager staff for the period of July 1 to September 30, 2025 are listed below. The attendees and topics discussed at these meetings are included in this report as Attachment 1.
On occasion, both 49ers entities and Stadium Authority/City will be named jointly as defendants in a third-party litigation matter and are represented jointly in the defense of the case by insurance counsel. In such cases, joint defense meetings involving representatives of the 49ers, Stadium Authority, insurance carrier(s), and defense counsel will occur. Such meetings are privileged attorney -client communications, include discussion of confidential work product, and fall within the litigation exemption of the Public Records Act; for these reasons, such meetings are not included in this report.

REPORT TO STADIUM AUTHORITY BOARD
SUBJECT
Action on an Agreement with CliftonLarsonAllen LLP for Auditing Services for the Santa Clara Stadium Authority
BACKGROUND
The Credit Agreement dated June 19, 2013, entered into between the Santa Clara Stadium Authority (Stadium Authority), Stadium Funding Trust (FinanceCo), and Goldman Sachs Bank USA (Goldman Sachs) requires that the Stadium Authority file audited annual financial statements within 180 days after the end of each fiscal year as described in section 5.1(b). It further requires that the financial statements be audited by an independent Certified Public Accountant (CPA) firm selected by the Stadium Authority and satisfactory to Upper Tier Co-Lead Arrangers. Upper Tier Co-Lead Arrangers is further defined as “Co-Lead Arranger” as defined in the Upper Tier Credit Agreement. In the June 19, 2013 Credit Agreement between Stadium Funding Trust and Various Lenders (the Upper Tier Credit Agreement), the preamble defines the Co-Lead Arrangers as Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (MLPFS), and U.S. Bank National Association (U.S. Bank).
Section 8.6.3 of the Amended and Restated Stadium Lease Agreement (Stadium Lease) between the Stadium Authority and Forty Niners SC Stadium Company LLC (StadCo) dated June 19, 2013 allows for the Stadium Authority to conduct an audit of the Stadium Records within 180 days following the Stadium Authority's receipt of any Annual Statement of Stadium from the Tenant. The Stadium Authority desires to have an independent CPA review of the Shared Stadium Expenses between the Stadium Authority and StadCo.
The Stadium Authority is in contract with its current CPA firm (KPMG, LLP) for these audit services through March 31, 2026. With KPMG, LLP’s contract coming to an end, the Stadium Authority went through a competitive bid process for its future CPA firm.
DISCUSSION
Staff issued a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) in April 2025 for the annual financial statement audit and the agreed upon procedures (AUP) audit of the Shared Stadium Expenses. The RFP specifically requested that the auditing firm performing the audit to verify the transaction balances against supporting source documents for all items selected for testing based on the firms’ audit procedures. The Stadium Authority wants to ensure that the recorded transactions have proper source documentation and are supported. The RFP was published on DemandStar and noticed on Bidnet with a referral to DemandStar to maximize outreach. Both DemandStar and Bidnet are online platforms that allow government agencies to distribute RFPs to businesses. When the RFP closed in May 2025, the Stadium Authority had received proposals from the following six CPA firms:
· Baker Tilly US, LLP (Baker Tilly)
· CliftonLarsonAllen LLP (CLA)

· Crowe LLP (Crowe)
· Eide Bailly LLP (Eide Bailly)
· Macias Gini & O’Connell LLP (MGO)
· Moss Adams LLP (Moss Adams)
The procurement process was led by the City’s Purchasing Division within the Finance Department.
The written proposals were evaluated and scored independently by a three-member evaluation committee against the criteria and weights demonstrated in the table below.

Responsiveness Pass/Fail
Quality and completeness of proposal 0-15
Proposer’s qualifications and experience, including the experience of staff to be assigned to the project with
engagements of similar scope and complexity

Technical experience of the proposer and quality of

After evaluating the written proposals, the top three proposers (CLA, Crowe and MGO) were invited to vendor oral presentations. The results of the interviews were then used to adjust proposal scores as outlined in the RFP.
After thorough review and evaluation of the proposals, staff selected CLA. This firm submitted a comprehensive response containing all required elements and provided a detailed breakdown of hours by audit phase which demonstrated both transparency and a well-structured approach. This level of detail gives staff confidence in the firms planning capabilities and its commitment to delivering an organized and efficiently managed engagement.
The proposed CLA audit team for this engagement has extensive governmental auditing experience, including work with cities, counties and special districts. The firm’s public sector experience ensures a strong understanding of the unique requirements of governmental entities. With more than 600 public-sector professional and a history of serving over 4,200 public agency clients, CLA brings expertise to the Stadium Authority. The firm also has a commitment to maintain the same team from year to year to support audit continuity and preserves valuable institutional knowledge.
The Stadium Authority also placed significant weight on the firm’s technical capabilities and the quality of services to be delivered. CLA currently provides auditing services for several National Football League (NFL) stadiums and therefore brings relevant experience related to complex public- private partnerships. Should new people join CLA’s audit team, the firm’s approach to documenting and retaining workpapers minimizes the need for staff to retrain CLA’s team annually. The principal on the proposed audit team has committed to being hands-on, ensuring strong oversight and City of Santa Clara Printed on 1/9/2026Page 2 of 4

immediate issue resolution and they are planning for weekly status meetings during the engagement exhibiting a commitment to communication and collaboration. The firm’s willingness to use existing Stadium Authority workpapers speaks to their desire for efficiency and a smooth audit process.
CLA’s size, structure, and capacity to complete the work within the required timeframe contributed to its selection. As the eighth-largest accountancy firm in the United States, the firm offers substantial resources while also maintaining a principal-to-staff ratio similar to that of smaller firms. This structure allows for deep principal involvement and faster decision-making which will streamline the audit. The engagement will be supported by team members located in California, ensuring accessibility and timely responses throughout the audit cycle.
Lastly, the firm’s fee structure was the most cost-effective among the respondents, offering a strong value relative to the depth of experience and quality of services proposed. Collectively, these strengths position CLA as highly capable of meeting the Stadium Authority’s needs and delivering a quality audit within the specified timeline.
The Stadium Authority had previously contracted with a “Big Four” accounting firm through KPMG, LLP. Those accounting firms were notified when the RFP was issued, however none of them responded to the RFP. Staff evaluated the qualifications of CLA and notified the Co-Lead Arrangers of this recommendation and selection. The Co-Lead Arrangers approved and/or did not object to this selection indicating that this firm’s engagement is satisfactory to them. Staff recommends that the Stadium Authority enter into a three-year agreement with CLA for financial statement audit services with two one-year options to extend the agreement at the sole discretion of the Authority for a total of five years ending in 2030. Staff also recommends retaining CLA to perform certain AUP audit services to satisfy Shared Stadium Expenses review.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a "project" within the meaning of a California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines section 15378(a) as it has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed Agreement is for a three-year term. CLA will conduct the external financial statement audit and the AUP audit in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 for a not to exceed amount of $97,650 with fixed contractual increases for the following fiscal years. The total cost of the contract over the three years will not exceed $307,944. The cost of the fiscal year 2025/26 audit will be budgeted in the fiscal year 2026/27 Stadium Authority Operating Budget. Appropriations in future years will be requested and approved through the annual budget process.
COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Executive Director and Stadium Authority Counsel’s Offices.

EXHIBIT A
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The Services to be performed for the Authority by the Contractor under this Agreement are set forth below.
1. GENERAL
A. DESCRIPTION OF THE SANTA CLARA STADIUM AUTHORITY
On June 8, 2010, residents of Santa Clara voted to adopt Measure J, the Santa Clara Stadium Taxpayer Protection and Economic Progress Act, resulting in the approval to construct a new 68,500-seat football stadium (the Stadium) to be leased to the San Francisco 49ers (49ers). In addition, Measure J called for the creation of the Authority to develop and operate the Stadium project. The City of Santa Clara (City) and the City of Santa Clara Rede velopment Agency (Agency) entered into a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (JPA Agreement) establishing the Authority.
The JPA Agreement was later amended to add the Bayshore North Project Enhancement Authority as a member of the Authority. On June 28, 20 11, the Governor signed into law Assembly Bill No. X1 26 (ABX1 26), which called for the dissolution of Redevelopment Agencies throughout the State. The California State Supreme Court upheld ABX1 26 and as a result, on February 1, 2012, all California Redevelopment Agencies were dissolved. The Successor Agency of the City of Santa Clara (Successor Agency) then assumed the obligations of the Agency under the JPA Agreement.
The Authority has no component units. The Mayor and City Council serve as the Board of the Authority. The City Manager serves as the Executive Director. The debt being incurred for the construction of the Stadium is the responsibility of the Authority. The City is not a party to the debt nor has the City guaranteed such debt.
B. FUND STRUCTURE
The Authority has three funds for operating, capital, and debt service purposes.
C. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The Authority reports its activities as a business -type activity.

Accordingly, all assets and liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) are included on the statements of net position. Reported net position is segregated into three categories – net investment in capital assets, restricted and unrestricted. The statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position presents increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total net position. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they Agreement with CliftonLarsonAllen LLP/Exhibit A-Scope of Services Page 2 Rev. 07-01-18
are earned while expenses are recognized in the period in which a liability is incurred.
Operating revenues are those revenues that are generated from the primary operations of the Authority. All other revenues are reported as nonoperating.
Operating expenses are those expenses that are essential to the primary operations of the fund. All other expenses are reported as nonoperating expenses.
2. YEAR-END
An amendment was made to the JPA Agreement on November 13, 2012 in part to change the fiscal year of the Authority from July 1 through June 30 fiscal year to April 1 through March 31 fiscal year to conform with the fiscal year of the Stadium Funding Trust.

25-1720 Agenda Date: 1/13/2026
The Stadium Manager has provided a Recommendation Memo that summarizes the new request (Attachment 1).
DISCUSSION
Stadium Authority staff reviewed the Stadium Manager’s Recommendation for Award memo, supporting documentation, and draft agreement (Attachment 2) for consistency against the City’s public works bidding practices (City Charter Section 1310). The Stadium Manager’s original Request for Bids (RFB) received one response, which was determined over budget. The Stadium Manager cancelled the bid and reissued the RFB, which received five responses. After issuing the new RFB and selecting the lowest bidder, the Stadium Manager issued a Notice of Intended Award. The selected bidder withdrew their bid, resulting in their disqualification, as well as a payment of bid security in the amount of $24,980 which will be forwarded to the Stadium Authority. The Stadium Manager is recommending award to the next lowest responsive and responsible bidder, SCC Electric Inc.
Based on the provided documentation and information, staff recommends approval of the Stadium Manager’s request.
The Stadium Authority Counsel’s Office has reviewed the requested agreement for comparison to the Stadium Authority’s customary language. Nothing in the proposed agreement changes the Stadium Authority’s rights under the Management Agreement and specifically with respect to any dispute that may arise from the Stadium Manager’s obligations under the Management Agreement.
The Stadium Authority reserves all rights to confirm and dispute charges by and payments to the Stadium Manager during a fiscal year-end reconciliation/true-up, including but not limited to changes based on improper allocation, calculation, lack of support, or failure to comply with the Parties’ contracts or California law. The Stadium Authority may raise related questions before the fiscal year- end reconciliation/true-up, which the Stadium Manager agrees to assess and respond to in good faith.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15301 “Existing Facilities” as the activity consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities mechanical equipment or topographical features involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agencies determination.
FISCAL IMPACT
The FY 2025/26 CapEx Budget contains a $549,893 line item for the Radio Booth Cabling - Phase I CapEx Project. Approval of the Stadium Manager’s request will require a budget amendment to increase the line item by $4,083 to a total budget amount of $553,976. The new budget total will cover the agreement ($485,000), potential change orders and potential and incurred project costs related to design and engineering services, permits, inspections, and advertising of the public works project ($68,975.06 total, inclusive of the estimated $20,475.06 in incurred costs). The Stadium Authority is responsible for all CapEx Project costs.
The table below summarizes the budget amendment as discussed above:

ARTICLE 40. TIME FOR COMPLETION AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
A. Time for Completion/Liquidated Damages. Time is of the essence in the completion of the Work. Work shall be commenced within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date stated in the Stadium Manager ’s Notice to Proceed and shall be completed by Contractor in the time specified in the Contract Documents. The Stadium Manager is under no obligation to consider early completion of the Project; and the Contract completion date shall not be amended by the Stadium Manager ’s receipt or acceptance of the Contractor’s proposed earlier completion date. Furthermore, Contractor shall not, under any circumstances, receive additional compensation from the Stadium Manager (including but not limited to indirect, general, administrative or other forms of overhead costs) for the period between the time of earlier completion proposed by the Contractor and the Contract completion date. If the Work is not completed as stated in the Contract Documents, it is understood that the Stadium Manager will suffer damage. In accordance with Government Code Section 53069.85, being impractical and infeasible to determine the amount of actual damage, it is agreed that Contractor shall pay to the Stadium Manager as fixed and liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, the sum stipulated in the Contract for each calendar day of delay until the Work is fully completed. Contractor and its surety shall be liable for any liquidated damages. Any money due or to become due the Contractor may be retained to cover liquidated damages.
B. Inclement Weather. Contractor shall abide by the Stadium Manager's Representative’s determination of what constitutes inclement weather. Time extensions for inclement weather shall only be granted when the Work stopped during inclement weather is on the critical path of the Project schedule.
C. Extension of Time. Contractor shall not be charged liquidated damages because of any delays in completion of the Work due to unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of Contractor (or its subcontractors or suppliers).
Contractor shall within five (5) Days of identifying any such delay notify the Stadium Manager in writing of causes of delay. The Stadium Manager shall ascertain the facts and extent of delay and grant extension of time for completing the Work when, in its judgment, the facts justify such an extension. Time extensions to the Project shall be requested by the Contractor as they occur and without delay. No delay claims shall be permitted unless the event or occurrence delays the completion of the Project beyond the Contract completion date.
D. No Damages for Reasonable Delay. The Stadium Manager’s liability to Contractor for delays for which the Stadium Manager is responsible shall be limited to only an extension of time unless such delays were unreasonable under the circumstances. In no case shall the Stadium Manager be liable for any costs which are borne by the Contractor in the regular course of business, including, but not limited to, home office overhead and other ongoing costs. Damages caused by unreasonable Stadium Manager delay, includ ing delays caused by items that are the responsibility of the Stadium Manager pursuant to Government Code Section 4215, shall be based on •

ARTICLE 41. COST BREAKDOWN AND PERIODIC ESTIMATES
Contractor shall furnish on forms Approved by the Stadium Manager:
A. Within ten (10) Days of Notice to Proceed with the Contract, a detailed estimate giving a complete breakdown of the Contract price, if the Contract amount is a lump sum.
B. A monthly itemized estimate of Work done for the purpose of making progress payments. In order for the Stadium Manager to consider and evaluate each progress payment application, the Contractor shall submit a detailed measurement of Work performed and a progress estimate of the value thereof before the tenth (10th) Day of the following month.
C. Contractor shall submit, with each of its payment requests, an adjusted list of actual quantities, verified by the Stadium Manager’s Representative , for unit price items listed, if any, in the Bid Form.
D. Following the Stadium Manager’s Acceptance of the Work, the Contractor shall submit to the Stadium Manager a written statement of the final quantities of unit price items for inclusion in the final payment request.
E. The Stadium Manager shall have the right to adjust any estimate of quantity and to subsequently correct any error made in any estimate for payment.
Contractor shall certify under penalty of perjury, that all cost breakdowns and periodic estimates accurately reflect the Work on the Project.
ARTICLE 42. PROGRESS ESTIMATES AND PAYMENT
A. By the tenth (10th) Day of the following calendar month, Contractor shall submit to Stadium Manager’s Representative a payment request which shall set forth in detail the value of the Work done for the period beginning with the date work was first commenced and ending on the end of the calendar month for which the payment request is prepared. Contractor shall include any amount earned for authorized extra work. From the total thus computed, a deduction shall be made in the amount of five percent (5%) for retention, except where the Stadium Manager has adopted a finding that the Work done under the Contract is substantially complex, and then the amount withheld as retention shall be the percentage specified in the Notice Inviting Bids.
From the remainder a further deduction may be made in accordance with Section B below. The amou nt computed, less the amount withheld for retention and any amounts withheld as set forth below, shall be the amount of the Contractor’s payment request.
B. The Stadium Manager may withhold a sufficient amount or amounts of any payment or payments otherwise due to Contractor, as in his judgment may be necessary to cover:

C. The Stadium Manager may apply such withheld amount or amounts to payment of such claims or obligations at its discretion with the exception of subsections (B)(1), (3), and (5) of this Article, which must be retained or applied in accordance with applicable law. In so doing, the Stadium Manager shall be deemed the agent of Contractor and any payment so made by the Stadium Manager shall be considered as a payment made under contract by the Stadium Manager to Contractor and the Stadium Manager shall not be liable to Contractor for such payments made in good faith. Such payments may be made without prior judicial determination of claim or obligations. The Stadium Manager will render Contractor a proper accounting of such funds disbursed on behalf of Contractor.
D. Upon receipt, the Stadium Manager’s Representative shall review the payment request to determine whether it is undisputed and suitable for payment. If the payment request is determined to be unsuitable for payment, it shall be returned to Contractor as soon as practicable but not later than seven (7) Days after receipt, accompanied by a document setting forth in writing the reasons why the payment request is not proper. The Stadium Manager shall make the progress payment within 30 calendar days after the receipt of an undisputed and properly submitted payment request from Contractor, provided that a release of liens and claims has been received from the Contractor pursuant to Civil Code Section 8132.

Deposit of securities with an escrow agent shall be subject to a written agreement substantially in the form provided in Section 22300 of the Public Contract Code.
ARTICLE 44. CHANGES AND EXTRA WORK.
A. Contract Change Orders.
1. The Stadium Manager, without invalidating the Contract, may order changes in the Work consisting of additions, deletions or other revisions, and the Contract Price and Contract Time shall be adjusted accordingly. Except as otherwise provided herein, all such changes in the Work shall be authorized by Change Order, and shall be performed under the applicable conditions of the Contract Documents. A Change Order signed by the Contractor indicates the Contractor's agreement therewith, including any adjustment in the Contract Price or the Contract Time, and the full and final settlement of all costs (direct, indirect and overhead) related to the Work authorized by the Change Order.
2. Contractor shall promptly execute changes in the Work as directed in writing by the Stadium Manager even when the parties have not reached agreement on whether the change increases the scope of Work or affects the Contract Price or Contract Time. All claims for additional compensation to the Contractor shall be presented in writing. No claim will be c onsidered after the Work in question has been done unless a written Change Order has been issued or a timely written notice of claim has been made by Contractor.
3. Whenever any change is made as provided for herein, such change shall be considered and treated as though originally included in the Contract, and shall be subject to all terms, conditions, and provisions of the original Contract.
4. Contractor shall not be entitled to claim or bring suit for damages, whether for loss of profits or otherwise, on account of any decrease or omission of any item or portion of Work to be done.
5. No dispute, disagreement, or failure of the parties to reach agreement on the terms of the Change Order shall relieve the Contractor from the obligation to proceed •
Agreement No: xxx

with performance of the work, including Additional Work, promptly and expeditiously.
6. Contractor shall make available to the Stadium Manager any of the Contractor’s documents related to the Project immediately upon request of the Stadium Manager, as set forth in Article 52.
7. Any alterations, extensions of time, Additional Work, or any other changes may be made without securing consent of the Contractor’s surety or sureties.
B. Contract Price Change.
1. Process for Determining Adjustments in Contract Price. a. Owner Initiated Change . The Contractor must submit a complete cost proposal, including any change in the Contract Price or Contract Time, within seven (7) Days after receipt of a scope of a proposed change order initiated by the Stadium Manager, unless the Stadium Manager requests that proposals be submitted in less than seven (7) Days.
b. Contractor Initiated Change . The Contractor must give written notice of a proposed change order required for compliance with the Contract Documents within seven (7) Days of discovery of the facts giving rise to the proposed change order.
c. Whenever possible, any changes to the Contract amount shall be in a lump sum mutually agreed to by the Contractor and the Stadium Manager. d. Price quotations from the Contractor shall be accompanied by sufficiently detailed supporting documentation to permit verification by the Stadium Manager, including but not limited to estimates and quotations from subcontractors or material suppliers, as the Stadium Manager may reasonably request. Contractor shall certify the accuracy of all Change Order Requests under penalty of perjury.
e. If the Contractor fails to submit a complete cost proposal within the seven (7) Day period (or as requested), the Stadium Manager has the right to order the Contractor in writing to commence the Work immediately on a time and materials basis and/or issue a lump sum change to the Contract Price and/or Contract Time in accordance with the Stadium Manager ’s estimate. If the change is issued based on the Stadium Manager's estimate, the Contractor will waive its right to dispute the action unless within fifteen (15) Days following completion of the added/deleted work, the Contractor presents written proof that the Stadium Manager’s estimate was in error.
2. Unit Price Change Orders.
a. When the actual quantity of a Unit Price item varies from the Bid Form, compensation for the change in quantity will be calculated by multiplying the actual quantity by the Unit Price. This calculation may result in either an additive or deductive Final Change Order pursuant to the Contract Documents. •
Agreement No: xxx
Levi’s Stadium Radio Booth Cabling Project
-47- 00 72 13 – GENERAL CONDITIONS
b. No Mark up for Overhead and Profit . Because the Contract Unit Prices provided in the Bid Form include Overhead and Profit as determined by Contractor at the time of Bid submission, no mark up or deduction for Overhead and Profit will be included in Unit Price Change Orders. c. Bid items included on the Bid Form may be deducted from the Work in their entirety without any negotiated extra costs.
d. Contractor acknowledges that unit quantities are estimates and agrees that the estimated unit quantities listed on the Bid Form will be adjusted to reflect the actual unit quantities which may result in an adjustment to the Contract Unit Prices. Such an a djustment will be made by execution of a final additive or deductive Change Order following Contractor’s completion of the Work. Upon notification, Contractor’s failure to respond within seven (7) Days will result in Stadium Manager’s issuance of a unit quantity adjustment to the Contract Unit Prices and/or Contract Time in accordance with the Contract Documents. e. The Stadium Manager or Contractor may make a Claim for an adjustment in the Unit Price in accordance with the Contract Documents if:
i. the quantity of any item of Unit Price Work performed by Contractor differs by twenty-five percent (25%) or more from the estimated quantity of such item indicated in the Contract; and
ii. there is no corresponding adjustment with respect to any other item of Work; and
iii. Contractor believes that Contractor is entitled to an increase in Unit Price as a result of having incurred additional expense or the Stadium Manager believes that the Stadium Manager is entitled to a decrease in Unit Price and the parties are unable to agree as to the amount of any such increase or decrease..
3. Contractor shall incorporate the provisions of this Section into all agreements with Subcontractors. Compensation for Lump Sum Change Orders shall be limited to expenditures necessitated specifically by the Additional Work, and shall be according to the following:
a. Overview. The Contractor will submit a properly itemized Lump Sum Change Order Proposal covering the Additional Work and/or the work to be deleted.
This proposal will be itemized for the various components of the Additional Work and segregated by labor, material, and equipment in a detailed format satisfactory to the Stadium Manager . The Stadium Manager will require itemized change orders on all change order proposals from the Contractor, subcontractors, and sub -subcontractors regardless of tier. Details to be submitted will include detailed line item estimates showing detailed materials quantity take -offs, material prices by item and related labor hour pricing information and extensions (by line item or by drawing as applicable). •
Agreement No: xxx
Levi’s Stadium Radio Booth Cabling Project
-48- 00 72 13 – GENERAL CONDITIONS
b. Labor. The costs of labor will be the actual cost for wages prevailing locally for each craft or type of worker at the time the Additional Work is done, plus employer payments of payroll taxes and insurance, health and welfare, pension, vacation, apprenticeship funds, and other direct costs resulting from Federal, State or local laws, as well as assessment or benefits required by lawful collective bargaining agreements. The use of a labor classification which would increase the Additional Work cost will not be permitted unless the Contractor establishes the necessity for such new classifications. Labor costs for equipment operators and helpers shall be reported only when such costs are not included in the invoice for equipment rental.
Estimated labor hours must only include hours for those workmen and working foremen directly involved in performing the change order work. Supervision above the level of working foremen (such as general foremen, superintendent, project manager, etc.) is considered to be included in the markup percentages as outlined below. Note that no separate allowances for warranty expense will be allowed as a direct cost of a change order. Costs attributed to warranty expenses will be considered to be covered by the markup. c. Labor Burden. Labor burden allowable in change orders shall be defined as employer's net actual cost of payroll taxes (FICA, Medicare, SUTA, FUTA), net actual cost for employer's cost of union benefits (or other usual and customary fringe benefits if the employees are not union employees), and net actual cost to employer for worker's compensation insurance taking into consideration adjustments for experience modifiers, premium discounts, dividends, rebates, expense constants, assigned risk pool costs, net cost reductions due to policies with deductibles for self -insured losses, assigned risk rebates, etc.
Contractor shall reduce their standard payroll tax percentages to properly reflect the effective cost reduction due to the estimated impact of the annua l maximum wages subject to payroll taxes. An estimated percentage for labor burden may be used for pricing change orders. However, the percentage used for labor burden to price change orders will be examined at the conclusion of the Project and an adjustment to the approved change orders will be processed if it is determined that the actual labor burden percentage should have been more or less than the estimated percentage used.
d. Materials. The cost of materials reported shall be at invoice or lowest current price at which such materials are locally available in the quantities involved, plus sales tax, freight, and delivery. Materials costs shall be based upon supplier or manufacturer’s invoice. If invoices or other satisfactory evidence of cost are not furnished within fifteen (15) Days of delivery, then the Stadium Manager shall determine the materials cost, at its sole discretion. Estimated material change order costs shall r eflect the Contractor's reasonably anticipated net actual cost for the purchase of the material needed for the change order work. Estimated material costs shall reflect cost reductions available to the Contractor due to “non -cash” discounts, trade discount s, free material credits, and/or volume rebates. “Cash” discounts (i.e., prompt payment discounts of 2% or less ) available on material purchased for change order work shall be credited to the Stadium Manager if the Contractor is provided the Stadium Manager funds in time for Contractor to take advantage •
Agreement No: xxx
Levi’s Stadium Radio Booth Cabling Project
-49- 00 72 13 – GENERAL CONDITIONS
of any such “cash” discounts. The portion of any “cash” discounts greater than 2% will not be considered “non -cash” discount for purposes of this provision.
Price quotations from material suppliers must be itemized with unit prices for each specific ite m to be purchased. "Lot pricing" quotations will not be considered sufficient substantiating detail.
e. Tool and Equipment Use. Costs for the use of small tools, which are tools that have a replacement value of $1,000 or less, shall be considered included in the Overhead and Profit mark-ups established below. Allowable change order estimated costs may include appropriate amount s for rental of major equipment specifically needed to perform the change order work (defined as tools and equipment with an individual purchase cost of more than $750). For Contractor owned equipment, the "bare" equipment rental rat es allowed to be used for pricing change order proposals shall be 75% of the monthly rate listed in the most current publication of The AED Green Book divided by 176 to arrive at a maximum hourly rate to be applied to the hours the equipment is used performing the change order work. Further, for Contractor owned equipment, the aggregate equipment rent charges for any single piece of equipment used in all change order work shall be limited to 50% of the fair market value of the piece of equipment when the first change order is priced involving usage of the piece of equipment. Fuel necessary to operate the equipment will be considered as a separate direct cost associated with the change order work. f. Maximum Markup Percentage Allowable on Self -Performed Work . With respect to pricing change orders, the maximum markup percentage to be paid to any Contractor or subcontractor (regardless of tier) on self -performed work shall be a single markup percentage not-to-exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the net direct cost of (1) direct labor and allowable labor burden costs applicable to the change in the Work; (2) the net cost of material and installed equipment incorporated into the change in the Work, and (3) net rental cost of major equipment and related fuel costs necessary to complete the change in the Work.
g. Maximum Markup Percentages Allowable on Work Performed by Lower Tier Subcontractors. With respect to pricing the portion of change order proposals involving Work performed by lower tier contractors, the maximum markup percentage allowable to the Contractor or subcontractor supervising the lower tier subcontractor's work shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the net of all approved change order work performed by all subcontractors combined for any particular change order proposal.
h. No Markup on Bonds and Liability Insurance Costs . Change order cost adjustments due to increases or decreases in bond or insurance costs (if applicable) shall not be subject to any markup.
i. Direct and Indirect Costs Covered by Markup Percentages . As a further clarification, the agreed upon markup percentage set forth above is intended to cover the Contractor's profit and all indirect costs associated with the change order work. Items intended to be covered by the markup percentage include, but are not limited to: home office expenses, branch office and field office •
Agreement No: xxx
Levi’s Stadium Radio Booth Cabling Project
-50- 00 72 13 – GENERAL CONDITIONS
overhead expense of any kind, project management, superintendents, general foremen, estimating, engineering, coordinating, expediting, purchasing, detailing, legal, accounting, data processing or other administrative expenses, shop drawings, permits, auto insurance and umbrella insurance, pick-up truck costs, and warranty expense costs. The cost for the use of small tools is also to be considered covered by the markup percentage established above. Small tools shall be defined as tools and equipment (power or non-power) with an individual purchase cost of less than $750.
j. Deduct Change Orders and Net Deduct Changes . The application of the markup percentages referenced above will apply to both additive and deductive change orders. In the case of a deductive change order, the credit will be computed by applying the sliding scale percentages as outlined above so that a deductive change order would be computed in the same manner as an additive change order. In those instances where a change involves both additive and deductive work, the additions and deductions will be netted and the markup percentage adjustments will be applied to the net amount. k. Contingency. In no event will any lump sum or percentage amounts for "contingency" be allowed to be added as a separate line item in change order estimates. Unknowns attributable to labor hours will be accounted for when estimating labor hours anticipated performing the work. Unknowns attributable to material scrap and waste will be estimated as part of material costs. l. Insurance and Bonds. In the event the Contractor has been required to furnish insurance and/or bonds as part of the base contract price, a final contract change order will be processed to account for the Contractor's net increase or decrease in insurance costs and/or bond p remium costs associated with change orders to Contractor's base Contract Price.
4. Time and Materials Change Orders.
a. General. The term Time and Materials means the sum of all costs reasonably and necessarily incurred and paid by Contractor for labor, materials, and equipment in the proper performance of Additional Work. Except as otherwise may be agreed to in writing by the Stadium Manager, such costs shall be in amounts no higher than those prevailing in the locality of the Project, and shall include only the following items.
b. Timely and Final Documentation.
i. T&M Daily Sheets. Contractor must submit timesheets, materials invoices, records of equipment hours, and records of rental equipment hours to the Stadium Manager ’s Representative for an approval signature each day Additional Work is performed. Failure to get the Stadium Manager ’s Representative’s approval signature each Day shall result in a waiver of Contractor’s right to claim these costs. The Stadium Manager ’s Representative’s signature on time sheets only serves as verification that the Work was perf ormed and is not indicative of Stadium Manager ’s agreement to Contractor’s entitlement to the cost.
•

ii. T&M Daily Summary Sheets . All documentation of incurred costs (“T&M Daily Summary Sheets”) shall be submitted by Contractor within three (3) Days of incurring the cost for labor, material, equipment, and special services as Additional Work is performed. Contractor’s actual costs shall be presented in a summary table in an electronic spreadsheet file by labor, material, equipment, and special servic es. Each T&M Daily Summary Sheet shall include Contractor’s actual costs incurred for the Additional Work performed that day and a cumulative total of Contractor’s actual costs incurred for the Additional Work. Contractor’s failure to provide a T&M Daily Summary Sheet showing a total cost summary within three (3) Days but within five (5) Days of performance of the Work will result in the Contractor’s otherwise allowable overhead and profit being reduced by 50% for that portion of Additional Work which was not documented in a timely manner. Contractor’s failure to submit the T&M Daily Summary Sheet within five (5) Days of performance of the Work will result in a total waiver of Contractor’s right to claim these costs.
iii. T&M Total Cost Summary Sheet. Contractor shall submit a T&M Total Cost Summary Sheet, which shall include total actual costs, within seven (7) Days following completion of Stadium Manager approved Additional Work.
Contractor’s total actual cost shall be presented in a summary table in an electronic spreadsheet file by labor, material, equipment, and special services. Contractor’s failure to submit the T&M Total Cost Summary Sheet within seven (7) Days of completion of the Additional Work will result in Contractor’s waiver for any reimbursement of any costs associated with the T&M Summary Sheets or the performance of the Additional Work. c. Labor. The Contractor will be paid the cost of labor for the workers used in the actual and direct performance of the Work. The cost of labor will be the sum of the actual wages paid (which shall include any employer payments to or on behalf of the workers for h ealth and welfare, pension, vacation, and similar purposes) substantiated by timesheets and certified payroll for wages prevailing for each craft or type of workers performing the Additional Work at the time the Additional Work is done, and the lab or surcharge set forth in the Department of Transportation publication entitled Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates, which is in effect on the date upon which the Work is accomplished and which is a part of the Contract. The labor surcharge shall constitute full compensation for all payments imposed by Federal, State, or local laws and for all other payments made to, or on behalf of, the workers, other than actual wages.
