26-170 Agenda Date: 3/24/2026
REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action to Authorize the Use of City Electric Forces for New Dark Fiber Installations From 5453 Great America Parkway to 5200 Patrick Henry Drive to 2895 Northwestern Parkway, With an Estimated Cost of $9,741
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.” Silicon Valley Power (SVP) currently employs two Fiber Splicing Technicians to primarily perform maintenance and repairs to meet the performance standards of fiber customers, which includes City departments and commercial customers. Fiber Splicing Technician activities include basic splicing and distribution changes to fiber optic cables; pulling, laying, aligning, and positioning fiber optic equipment for new connections to SVP’s fiber network; and performing fusion splicing at building entrances and in maintenance spaces.
DISCUSSION
Currently, the SVP fiber optic network serves SVP, other City departments, and various commercial customers. The Fiber Splicer Technician performs a variety of specialized activities from maintenance and repair to new or re-spliced interconnections to SVP’s network. Each interconnection can be unique, involving different hours of labor depending on the number of fibers required to be spliced and the particular location within the network.
Large or extensive projects involving extending fiber cable being laid along new paths or significant distances or adding conduit or related infrastructure are performed by a construction contractor through a public works contract. SVP spends up to $1 million per year on these public works contracts.
Staff believes that the work described below is better performed with City forces based upon the following factors: (1) the work is limited in size and scope; (2) City forces have knowledge and training in operating, maintaining and repairing the fiber optic system that can be leveraged to more economically perform this work; and (3) bidding out the work and contracting with a private entity would not likely result in a lower overall cost or time savings.

26-170 Agenda Date: 3/24/2026
Therefore, staff recommend that the City Council declare and determine that City forces can better perform the following fiber optic projects and approve the use of City forces for such projects:
Estimate Number: FWM#001426
Location: From 5453 Great America Parkway to 5200 Patrick Henry Drive to 2895 Northwestern Parkway
Type of Service: Fiber
Description of Work: Splice, terminate and test fibers for a new route from 5453 Great America Parkway to 5200 Patrick Henry Drive to 2895 Northwestern Parkway.
Estimated Cost: $9,741
Appropriation: Electric Utility Capital Fund (591) Project 2004 - Fiber Development Design & Expansion
Source of Revenue: Customer/Developer Contribution
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Staff recommends that the City Council determine that the action being considered is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Section 15303 (Class 3 - New Facilities) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, as the proposed work consists of the installation of new small fiber optic facilities.
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 $9,741, are included in the Fiscal Year 2025/26 Budget, Fiber Development, Design, and Expansion capital project (CIP 2004) in the Electric Utility Capital Fund. All referenced work will be performed with City Electric Forces (SVP staff). Some work associated with encroachment permits may be performed by the Department of Public Works (DPW). DPW costs are recovered through payment of permit fees.
COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Finance Department and City Attorney’s Office.
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 the proposed action is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15303 (Class 3 - New Facilities) 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 with an estimated cost of $9,741, located from 5453 Great America Parkway to 5200 Patrick Henry Drive to 2895 Northwestern Parkway, is 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 this public work consistent with this authorization.

REPORT TO STADIUM AUTHORITY BOARD
SUBJECT
Action on an Amendment No.1 to the Agreement with Advanced Integrated Pest Management for Pest Control Services at Levi’s Stadium to Extend the Term by One Year, Increase the Total Agreement Amount by $82,500, Update the Compensation and Fee Schedule, and Delegate Authority to the Executive Director for Future Amendments
BACKGROUND
Pursuant to Section 2.9 of the Stadium Management Agreement between the Santa Clara Stadium Authority (Stadium Authority), Forty Niners SC Stadium Company LLC (StadCo), and Forty Niners Stadium Management Company LLC (Stadium Manager), the Stadium Manager is responsible for maintaining Levi’s Stadium (Stadium) “in the Required Condition and operate the Stadium as a quality NFL and multi-purpose public sports, public assembly, exhibit and entertainment facility.…” On January 7, 2023, the Stadium Manager issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit qualified firms to provide pest control services at Levi’s Stadium. Three firms submitted proposals by the established deadline. Following a review and evaluation of the proposals, Advanced IPM was determined to be the most qualified firm based on its experience, quality of service, and cost. The Stadium Manager subsequently conducted a Best and Final Offer (BAFO) process, resulting in a negotiated not-to-exceed contract amount of $250,000 for a three-year term.
On March 7, 2023, the Stadium Authority approved the Stadium Manager’s request to enter into a three-year agreement with Advanced Integrated Pest Management (Advanced IPM) to provide pest control services at Levi’s Stadium for the period of April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2026, in an amount not to exceed $250,000 (Attachment 1).
To ensure continuity of pest control services at Levi’s Stadium in advance of the initial three-year term expiring on March 31, 2026, the Stadium Manager is requesting approval for the following actions related to the Agreement with Advanced IPM:
1. Approve and authorize the Stadium Manager to execute an Amendment No. 1 to the agreement with Advanced IPM to increase the maximum compensation by $82,500 to cover services from April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027.
2. Authorize the Executive Director to approve future amendments to the Agreement with Advanced IPM to: (a) exercise the final one-year option for the fifth contract year and increase the not-to-exceed amount by $86,625 to cover services from April 1, 2027 to March 31, 2028, and (b) increase the total not-to-exceed amount by up to an additional $25,000 as contingency for unanticipated services, which may be utilized in during the fourth or fifth contract years, all subject to the same basic terms and conditions and budget appropriations.

26-232 Agenda Date: 3/24/2026
3. Authorize the Executive Director to approve future amendment of the Agreement with Advanced IPM, under the same basic terms and conditions, on a month-to-month basis for a period not to exceed six months beyond the fifth contract year through September 30, 2028 and increase the not-to-exceed amount by $45,478 to cover up to six months of services and increase the compensation and fee schedule to reflect rate increases not to exceed 5% over the prior year upon providing reasonable justification of rate increases, provided the Stadium Manager is engaged in an active competitive solicitation process and subject to budget appropriations. This extension is intended to support the transition to a recommended contractor and maintain continuity of business, with thirty (30) calendar days’ notice to the contractor to terminate the agreement.
4. The total not-to-exceed maximum compensation for the Agreement with Advanced IPM, inclusive of contingency and all contract years, shall not exceed $489,603.
A Recommendation Memo was submitted describing the Stadium Manager’s request in more detail (Attachment 3).
DISCUSSION
Continued pest control services are necessary to ensure the facility remains in optimal condition for daily staff activities and events. Pest management at a large-scale, multi-use facility requires familiarity with the site’s infrastructure, food service areas, and event operations. Extending the current agreement ensures continuity of service, operational stability, and regulatory compliance.
By exercising the first of two one-year extension options, Stadium Manager will have continuity with Advanced IPM, maintaining the cleanliness and pest management required for Levi’s Stadium. To ensure the Stadium remains fully operational, Stadium Manager requires flexibility to manage vendor transitions effectively. As such, the Stadium Manager is also requesting for delegated authority to the Executive Director to approve future amendments to the agreement to respectively 1) approve future amendments to the Agreement to: (a) exercise the final one-year option for the fifth contract year and increase the not-to-exceed amount by $86,625 (reflective of a 5% increase) to cover services from April 1, 2027 to March 31, 2028 and increase the compensation and fee schedule to reflect rate increases not to exceed 5% over the prior year upon providing reasonable justification of rate increases, and (b) increase the not-to-exceed amount by up to an additional $25,000 as contingency for unanticipated services, which may be utilized during the fourth or fifth contract years, all subject to the same basic terms and conditions and budget appropriations, and 2) approve future amendment to the Agreement, under the same basic terms and conditions, for a period not to exceed six months beyond the fifth contract year through September 30, 2028 and increase the not-to-exceed amount by $45,478 (reflective of a 5% increase) to cover up to six months of services and increase the compensation and fee schedule to reflect rate increases not to exceed 5% over the prior year upon providing reasonable justification of rate increases, provided the Stadium Manager is engaged in an active competitive solicitation process and subject to budget appropriations.
The requested month-to-month authority would allow for an orderly transition to a recommended contractor following a competitive procurement process, flexibility to prevent any lapse in critical pest control services, and sufficient time for contractor mobilization and knowledge transfer, with thirty (30) calendar days’ written notice to terminate the agreement. Table 1 below provides a summary of the costs under the agreement.

Table 1 - Cost Summary
Description Amount
Initial Three-Year Term (4/1/23 - 3/31/26) $250,000
Optional Year 4 (4/1/26 - 3/31/27) $82,500
Optional Year 5 (4/1/27 - 3/31/28) $86,625
6-Month As-Needed Extension (4/1/28 - 9/30/28) $45,478
Contingency $25,000
Total Not-to-Exceed Maximum Compensation $489,603
Optional Years 4 and 5 assume an annual price increase of 5%. A contingency is included to account for unanticipated service requirements. The Stadium Manager has provided the following reason for the increased agreement amounts that reflect a 5% increase and maximum 5% for rate increases, “This percentage is based on the potential rate increases exceeding the prior year fees given the overall lack of market certainty due to current economic and political factors.” The Stadium Manager or vendor is responsible for providing reasonable justification for any rate increases for future amendments. If the Stadium Manager’s requests are approved, the Executive Director will have delegated authority to approve such rate increases, up to 5%, and anything higher will have to go to the Stadium Authority Board for additional approval. The Stadium Manager will be responsible for managing expenditures throughout the term of the agreement based on operational needs, provided the overall maximum compensation is not exceeded. This approach allows for continued Stadium Authority oversight, while streamlining the approval process for future amendments.
Based on the review of the Stadium Manager’s request, the provided information, and the draft Amendment No. 1, staff recommends approval of the Stadium Manager’s requests related to the Agreement with Advanced IPM to continue pest control services at Levi’s Stadium with minor modifications - with respect to the recommendation to approve Amendment No. 1 also include reference to the updated compensation and fee schedule; and update the word “increase” to “adjust” relating to the contract year five and six-month extension’s compensation and fee schedules in the recommendation language. For clarity, the Executive Director will have delegated authority to approve rate increases of up to 5%, subject to the maximum compensation.
The Stadium Authority Counsel’s Office has reviewed the Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement for comparison to the Stadium Authority’s customary language. Nothing in the proposed Amendment No. 1 or 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

powered by Legistar™
26-232 Agenda Date: 3/24/2026
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. Additionally, the action being considered is exempt from the CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) as the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT
The requested Amendment No. 1 will increase the Agreement’s total not-to-exceed amount by $82,500, from $250,000 to $332,500 over the four-year term. Future amendments to the Agreement, as requested through delegated authority to the Executive Director for approval, may increase the agreement’s total not-to-exceed amount to $489,603 through September 30, 2028.
The Stadium Authority Fiscal Year (FY) 2026/27 Budget includes Shared Stadium Expenses, such as Security, Stadium Operations, Engineering, Guest Services, and Groundskeeping. In accordance with the Stadium Lease, most Shared Stadium Expenses are allocated 50/50 between the Stadium Authority and StadCo.
There are sufficient funds in the FY 2026/27 Shared Stadium Expenses Engineering line item to cover the Stadium Authority’s fifty percent (50%) share of the agreement cost for the fourth contract year. As the requested action for the fifth contract year and additional six-month extension covers FY 2027/28 and FY 2028/29, those agreement amendments will be subject to future budget appropriations.

This report has been coordinated with the Stadium Authority Counsel and Treasurer’s Office.

Background:
On March 7, 2023, the SCSA Board approved Stadium Manager’s request to establish a three- year agreement with Advanced IPM to provide pest control services with an option to renew for two one-year periods. The initial term of the Agreement was from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2026, with an aggregate not-to-exceed amount of $250,000 over the three-year period.
Throughout the initial term, the actual aggregate annual expenditure for these services was approximately $241,800, remaining within the authorized limit. Total expenditures allocated to the SCSA were approximately $59,000 over the three-year period, after deducting charge backs to the food and beverage concessionaire.
Stadium Manager has a continued need for comprehensive pest control services to support the day-to-day operations and maintenance of Levi’s Stadium. These services ensure the facility remains in optimal condition for daily staff activities and events. By exercising the first of two one-year extension options, Stadium Manager will have continuity with Advanced IPM, maintaining the cleanliness and pest management required for Levi’s Stadium.
To ensure the Stadium remains fully operational, Stadium Manager requires flexibility to manage vendor transitions effectively. In the event that a new provider is selected through a competitive solicitation process at the end of the fifth contract year, an extension of up to six months may be required. This transitional period allows for the seamless handover of specialized pest management and the mobilization of a new contractor without a lapse in essential services.
Fiscal Impact:
The cost for this service is covered in the proposed FY26/27 SCSA Budget, Engineering Department, as a shared expense. Stadium Authority is responsible for 50% of the Shared Expenses portion of the Agreement cost.
Year 5 and the as-needed 6-month extension each include a maximum 5% increase year over year in the compensation and fee schedule. This percentage is based on the potential rate increases exceeding the prior year fees given the overall lack of market certainty due to current economic and political factors.
The six-month extension period amount of $45,478 is included to provide coverage during an active competitive solicitation process if necessary. This is calculated based on the Optional Year 5 NTE with an additional 5% increase. This brings the total not-to-exceed maximum compensation to $489,603, inclusive of all contract years, the six-month extension period, and contingency.

REPORT TO STADIUM AUTHORITY BOARD
SUBJECT
Action on an Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with Gachina Landscape Management, Inc. for Landscaping Services at Levi’s Stadium to Extend the Term by One Year, Update the Compensation and Fee Schedule, and Add a Termination for Convenience Clause
BACKGROUND
Pursuant to Section 2.9 of the Stadium Management Agreement between the Santa Clara Stadium Authority (Stadium Authority), Forty Niners SC Stadium Company LLC (StadCo), and Forty Niners Stadium Management Company LLC (Stadium Manager), the Stadium Manager is responsible for maintaining Levi’s Stadium (Stadium) “in the Required Condition and operate the Stadium as a quality NFL and multi-purpose public sports, public assembly, exhibit and entertainment facility….” Landscaping at Levi’s Stadium plays an important role in maintaining the facility’s overall appearance, safety, and functionality. As a high-profile multi-purpose venue that hosts professional sporting events, concerts, and large public gatherings, the Stadium’s exterior grounds and landscaped areas contribute significantly to the visitor experience and perception.
On April 18, 2023, the Stadium Authority approved the Stadium Manager’s request to enter into a three-year agreement with Gachina Landscape Management, Inc. (Gachina) for landscaping services at Levi’s Stadium for the period of April 19, 2023 through March 31, 2026, in an amount not-to- exceed $210,000 (Attachment 1). Through the same action, the Stadium Authority Board also authorized the Executive Director to approve the Stadium Manager’s exercise of the options to extend the agreement with the same basic terms and conditions for two additional one-year periods, subject to budget appropriations.
The Stadium Manager is in the process of finalizing a competitive solicitation process to select a provider for the next contract term and anticipates requiring additional time beyond March 31, 2026 to enter into a new agreement and effectively transition services. To ensure continuity of services and sufficient time for the transition, the Stadium Manager is requesting approval to execute the first amendment with Gachina (Attachment 2) to extend the term of the agreement from April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027; increase the total not-to-exceed compensation by $40,000 for the fourth contract year, for a total not to exceed agreement amount of $250,000; and amend the agreement to include a termination for convenience clause, which allows the Stadium Manager to terminate the agreement with thirty (30) calendar days’ advance notice to the contractor. The draft Amendment No. 1 will also update the compensation and fee schedule.
A Recommendation Memo was submitted describing the Stadium Manager’s request in more detail (Attachment 3).

DISCUSSION
The Stadium Authority Board’s April 18, 2023 action related to the original Agreement with Gachina provided delegated authority to the Executive Director to approve the Stadium Manager’s exercise of the options to extend the agreement with the same basic terms and conditions for two additional one- year periods, subject to budget appropriations. However, as the Stadium Manager’s requested amendment will also include a termination for convenience clause under Section 13(A) (Termination of Agreement) and an updated compensation and fee schedule (Exhibit B-1 (Contractor Compensation and Fees). Therefore, the Stadium Manager and staff are providing the draft Amendment No. 1 for Board approval.
As noted above, the Stadium Manager is in the process of finalizing a formal competitive process for landscaping services, and expects to submit a recommendation for award for Stadium Authority Board approval in late March/early April 2026. The submission will require staff review and preparation of the corresponding agenda report. Based on the timeline communicated by the Stadium Manager, staff anticipates placing the new agreement on the May 5 or 19 agenda for Board approval. As such, the requested amendment provides operational flexibility to terminate the current agreement upon execution of a new agreement and transition of services to a new contractor resulting from the competitive process.
The Stadium Manager originally requested a month-to-month extension to maintain continuity through the solicitation process. However, Gachina would not accept a month-to-month extension but was amenable to adding a termination for convenience clause.
Under the current agreement, Section 13(A)(v-i) allows the Stadium Manager to terminate the agreement “for cause”. A proposed amendment to Section 13(A)(vi) includes the following language, providing the Stadium Manager the ability to terminate for convenience:
“Stadium Manager shall also have the right to terminate this Agreement for convenience by providing Contractor with thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice.” The termination for convenience clause addresses the continuity of services until a new agreement is approved and transition period to onboard a new landscaping service provider.
Based on the review of the Stadium Manager’s request and draft Amendment No. 1, staff recommends approval of the Stadium Manager’s request to execute an Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with Gachina to ensure continuity of landscaping services at Levi’s Stadium until a new vendor is onboarded.
The Stadium Authority Counsel’s Office has reviewed the Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement for comparison to the Stadium Authority’s customary language. Nothing in the proposed Amendment No. 1 or 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’ City of Santa Clara Printed on 3/20/2026Page 2 of 3

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 maintenance of existing landscaping of existing public or private facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agencies determination.
FISCAL IMPACT
The requested Amendment No. 1 would increase the total not-to-exceed amount of the agreement by $40,000, from $210,000 to $250,000 over the four-year term.
The Stadium Authority Fiscal Year (FY) 2026/27 Budget includes Shared Stadium Expenses, such as Security, Stadium Operations, Engineering, Guest Services, and Groundskeeping. In accordance with the Stadium Lease, most Shared Stadium Expenses are allocated 50/50 with Groundskeeping being 30/70 between the Stadium Authority and StadCo respectively.
There are sufficient funds in the FY 2026/27 Shared Stadium Expenses Groundskeeping line item to cover the Stadium Authority’s thirty percent (30%) share of the agreement cost for the fourth contract year (up to $12,000).
COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Stadium Authority Counsel and Treasurer’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
Approve the Stadium Manager’s request to execute an Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with Gachina Landscaping Management, Inc. to extend the term through March 31, 2027, in an amount not-to-exceed $40,000 for the fourth contract year and not-to-exceed $250,000 over the four-year term, subject to budget appropriations, update the compensation and fee schedule with Exhibit B-1, and add a termination for convenience clause.

Subject: Recommendation for Award fo r Gachina Landscape Management Contract Amendment
Recommendation:
1. Recommend approval for Stadium Manager to execute the first amendment with Gachina Landscape Management for landscaping maintenance services at Levi’s Stadium to extend the term of the agreement from April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027, for the fourth contract year with a not-to-exceed amount of $40,000. The total aggregated contract amount shall not-to-exceed $250,000. Amendment shall update the agreement to include a termination for convenience clause, allowing the Stadium Manager to terminate the agreement with thirty (30) calendar days’ advance notice to the contractor.
Background:
On April 18, 2023, the SCSA Board approved Stadium Manager’s request to establish a three-year agreement with Gachina Landscape Management (Gachina) to provide landscaping maintenance services with an option to renew for two one-year periods. The initial term of the agreement was from April 19, 2023 through March 31, 2026, with an aggregate not-to-exceed amount of $210,000 over the three-year period.
Stadium Manager provides management services for Levi’s Stadium on a continual, year round basis, including overseeing the day-to-day operations and maintenance.
Landscaping services are essential to maintain the stadium in the required condition as a world-class venue. These services ensure the facility remains in optimal condition for daily staff activities and events.
Stadium Manager is currently finalizing a formal competitive solicitation process to select a provider for the next contract term. Proposals were received on December 3, 2025, and evaluations are expected to conclude in mid-February. A recommendation for an award is anticipated to be submitted to the SCSA Board by the end of March or early April 2026.
Initially, Stadium Manager sought a month-to-month extension to maintain continuity through the solicitation process. However, Gachina would not accept a month-to-month
STADIUM
FORTY NINERS STADIUM MANAGEMENT COMPANY
agreement. To ensure the stadium does not have a lapse in service, Stadium Manager recommends exercising the one-year option.
The amendment will incorporate a termination for convenience clause. This allows Stadium Manager to terminate the agreement with thirty (30) calendar days’ advance notice to the contractor. This approach ensures business continuity and provides the necessary coverage overlap in the event of a vendor transition.
Fiscal Impact:
The cost for landscaping maintenance services is covered in the proposed FY26/27 SCSA Budget, Engineering Department budget, as a shared expense.

REPORT TO STADIUM AUTHORITY BOARD
SUBJECT
Action on an Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with West Coast Turf for the Supply, Delivery, and Installation of Sod for the Field at Levi’s Stadium to Extend the Term by One Year, Increase the Total Agreement Amount, Update the Compensation and Fee Schedule, and Delegate Authority to the Executive Director for Future Amendments
BACKGROUND
Pursuant to Section 2.9 of the Stadium Management Agreement between the Santa Clara Stadium Authority (Stadium Authority), Forty Niners SC Stadium Company LLC (StadCo), and Forty Niners Stadium Management Company LLC (Stadium Manager), the Stadium Manager is responsible for maintaining Levi’s Stadium (Stadium) “in the Required Condition and operate the Stadium as a quality NFL and multi-purpose public sports, public assembly, exhibit and entertainment facility.…” In 2023, the Stadium Manager implemented a Request for Proposals (RFP) process and received one proposal from West Coast Turf. At the time, the Stadium Manager communicated that a number of potential suppliers were contacted; however, the type of sod and method to grow and maintain it prior to installation required by the Stadium Manager is generally not offered by many sod providers.
The Stadium Manager determined West Coast Turf to be within the competitive range in each of the evaluation ranges after the initial evaluation and conducting business, legal, and cost clarification meetings with the vendor.
On April 4, 2023, the Stadium Authority Board approved the Stadium Manager’s request to execute an agreement with West Coast Turf to supply and deliver sod and related installation services at Levi’s Stadium for a three-year period beginning April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2026, in an amount not exceed $1,600,000 per contract year for a total not to exceed amount of $4,800,000 over the three-year period, subject to budget appropriations (Agreement) (Attachment 1). The Stadium Authority Board also authorized the Executive Director to approve the Stadium Manager’s exercise of the option to extend the agreement with the same basic terms and conditions for two additional one- year periods, subject to budget appropriations.
To ensure continuity of the delivery and supply of sod and related installation services in advance of the initial three-year term expiring on March 31, 2026, the Stadium Manager is requesting approval of the following actions related to the Agreement with West Coast Turf:
1. Approve and authorize the Stadium Manager to execute an Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with West Coast Turf to increase the maximum compensation by $1,600,000 to cover services from April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027.
2. Authorize the Executive Director to approve future amendments to the Agreement to exercise the final one-year option for the fifth contract year and increase the not-to-exceed amount by City of Santa Clara Printed on 3/20/2026Page 1 of 6

26-315 Agenda Date: 3/24/2026
$1,680,000 to cover services from April 1, 2027 to March 31, 2028 and increase the compensation and fee schedule to reflect rate increases not to exceed 5% over the prior year upon providing reasonable justification of rate increases, all subject to the same basic terms and conditions and budget appropriations.
3. Authorize the Executive Director to approve future amendment to the Agreement, under the same basic terms and conditions, for a period not to exceed six months beyond the fifth contract year through September 30, 2028 and increase the not-to-exceed amount by $840,000 to cover up to six months of services and increase the compensation and fee schedule to reflect rate increases not to exceed 5% over the prior year upon providing reasonable justification of rate increases, provided the Stadium Manager is engaged in an active competitive solicitation process and subject to budget appropriations. This extension is intended to support the transition to a recommended contractor and maintain continuity of business.
4. The total not-to-exceed maximum compensation for the Agreement, inclusive of all contract years and the six-month extension period, shall not exceed $8,920,000.
The Stadium Manager’s request for an Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with West Coast Turf to extend the agreement by one additional year to cover services from April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027 is within the Executive Director’s delegated authority to approve. However, the requested Amendment No. 1 includes an increase to the total agreement amount, an updated compensation and fee schedule as reflected in Exhibit B-2 and Schedule A-1, and additional delegation of authority to the Executive Director for future amendments related to contract year five and the six-month extension period require additional Stadium Authority Board action. As such, it is being presented to the Stadium Authority Board for approval.
A Recommendation Memo was submitted describing the Stadium Manager’s request in more detail (Attachment 3).
DISCUSSION
The Stadium Manager has a continued need for sod supply, delivery, and installation to maintain a safe, high-quality playing surface at Levi’s Stadium for both Non-NFL and NFL events. The vendor performs nearly five full field replacements per year. In their Recommendation Memo, the Stadium Manager noted it is critical that a single, experienced vendor provides all services, as they control sod cultivation and possess detailed knowledge of the stadium’s field system, ensuring consistency, performance, and accountability. By exercising the first of two one-year extension options, Stadium Manager will ensure continuity with West Coast Turf and maintain quality field surfaces.
As noted above, the Executive Director has delegated authority to approve the Stadium Manager’s exercise of its option to extend the agreement with the same basic terms and conditions for two additional one-year periods, subject to budget appropriations. As the delegated authority did not cover increases to the agreement amount, and updates to the compensation and fee schedule, the requested Amendment No. 1 and requested delegation to the Executive Director for the fifth contract year and six-month extension period are provided for approval.
The rate increases under Exhibit B-2 and Schedule A-1 were reasonable and reflective of the regional Consumer Price Index (CPI). Staff noticed the inclusion of a new line item for Ready Play Grass (Sod Grown on Plastic) and followed up with the Stadium Manager for more information. The Stadium Manager explained that Ready Play Grass is West Coast Turf’s proprietary name for the City of Santa Clara Printed on 3/20/2026Page 2 of 6

26-315 Agenda Date: 3/24/2026
existing Sod Grown on Plastic service, which was already included in the agreement’s scope of work.
The Stadium Manager confirmed that the current pricing rate for contract year four will provide just under five full field replacements. Sod services are charged to the Stadium Authority for Non-NFL Events and split 30/70 between the Stadium Authority and StadCo, respectively, for Shared Stadium Expenses as a Groundskeeping expense per the Stadium Lease between the Stadium Authority and StadCo. The Stadium Manager currently does not anticipate any charges to FY 2026/27 Non-NFL Event expenses for field replacements; however, that may change as the Non-NFL Event calendar is updated. Additionally, the Stadium Manager has shared that the exact amount allocated to Shared Stadium Expenses for FY 2026/27 is currently unknown due to various factors, including installation days and grass age.
To ensure efficiencies through administrative approval, which was intended through the original request for approval of the Agreement with West Coast Turf, the Stadium Manager is also requesting the Stadium Authority Board to delegate authority to the Executive Director for future amendments, specifically to: 1) approve future amendments to the Agreement to exercise the final one-year option for the fifth contract year, increase the not-to exceed amount by $1,680,000 (reflective of a 5% increase) to cover services from April 1, 2027 to March 31, 2028, and increase the compensation and fee schedule to reflect rate increases not to exceed 5% over the prior year upon providing reasonable justification of rate increases, all subject to the same basic terms and conditions and budget appropriations, and 2) approve future amendment to the Agreement, under the same basic terms and conditions, for a period not to exceed six months beyond the fifth contract year through September 30, 2028 and increase the not-to-exceed amount by $88,200 (reflective of a 0% increase) to cover up to six months of services and increase the compensation and fee schedule to reflect rate increases not to exceed 5% over the prior year upon providing reasonable justification of rate increases, provided the Stadium Manager is engaged in an active competitive solicitation process and subject to budget appropriations. This extension is intended to support the transition to a recommended contractor and maintain continuity of business. The total not-to-exceed maximum compensation for the Agreement, inclusive of all contract years and the six-month extension period, shall not exceed $8,920,000.
Table 1 below provides a summary of the costs under the agreement.
Table 1 - Cost Summary
Description Amount
Initial Three-Year Term (4/1/23 - 3/31/26) $4,800,000
Optional Year 4 (4/1/26 - 3/31/27) $1,600,000
Optional Year 5 (4/1/27 - 3/31/28) $1,680,000
6-Month As-Need Extension Period (4/1/28 - 9/30/28) $840,000 Total Not-to-Exceed Maximum Compensation $8,920,000
Optional Years 4 and 5 assume an annual increase of 5%. The Stadium Manager has provided the following reason for the increased agreement amounts that reflect a 5% increase and maximum 5% for rate increases, “This percentage is based on the potential rate increases exceeding the prior year fees given the overall lack of market certainty due to current economic and political factors.” The Stadium Manager or vendor is responsible for providing reasonable justification for any rate City of Santa Clara Printed on 3/20/2026Page 3 of 6

increases for future amendments. If the Stadium Manager’s requests are approved, the Executive Director will have delegated authority to approve such rate increases, up to 5%, and any higher rate will have to go to the Stadium Authority Board for additional approval. The Stadium Manager will be responsible for managing expenditures throughout the term of the agreement based on operational needs, provided the overall maximum compensation is not exceeded. This approach allows for continued Stadium Authority oversight, while streamlining the approval process for future amendments.
Based on the review of the Stadium Manager’s request, the agenda reports and Stadium Authority Board actions related to the approval of the original Agreement with West Coast Turf, and the draft Amendment No. 1, staff recommends approval of the Stadium Manager’s requests related to the Agreement with West Coast Turf to continue the supply, delivery, and installation of sod for the field at Levi’s Stadium with minor modifications - with respect to the recommendation to approve Amendment No. 1, include reference of the updated compensation and fee schedule; and with respect to the recommendations related to the amendments for the fifth contract year and additional six month extension, update the word “increase” to “adjust” regarding the compensation and fee schedules. For clarity, the Executive Director will have delegated authority to approve rate increases of up to 5%, subject to the maximum compensation.
The Stadium Authority Counsel’s Office has reviewed the requested Amendment No. 1 for comparison to the Stadium Authority’s customary language. Nothing in the proposed Amendment No. 1 or 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.
Additionally, the action being considered is exempt from the CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) as the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT
The requested Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with West Coast Turf will increase the agreement’s total not-to-exceed amount by $1,600,000, from $4,800,000 to $6,400,000 over the four- City of Santa Clara Printed on 3/20/2026Page 4 of 6

year term. Future amendments to the agreements, as requested through delegated authority to the Executive Director for approval, may increase the agreement’s total not-to-exceed amount to $8,920,000 through September 30, 2028.
The Stadium Authority Fiscal Year (FY) 2026/27 Budget includes Shared Stadium Expenses, such as Security, Stadium Operations, Engineering, Guest Services, and Groundskeeping. In accordance with the Stadium Lease, most Shared Stadium Expenses are allocated 50/50 between the Stadium Authority and StadCo with the exception of Groundskeeping, which is allocated 30/70, respectively.
While the Stadium Manager has stated that the exact amount is currently unknown for Shared Stadium Expenses due to various factors, including installation days and grass age, there are sufficient funds in the FY 2026/27 Shared Stadium Expenses Groundskeeping line item to cover Stadium Authority’s thirty percent (30%) of the agreement costs for contract year four should the contract amount be used entirely for Shared Stadium Expenses (up to $480,000).
At this time, the Stadium Manager does not anticipate any charges to FY 2026/27 Non-NFL Event expenses for field replacements; however, that may change as the Non-NFL Event calendar is updated. The Stadium Authority FY 2026/27 Non-NFL Events Budget only contains a net profit line item so such costs, if field replacements are provided for any unanticipated major Non-NFL Events, will be built into the projected net revenues from Non-NFL Events for the fiscal year.
As the requested action for the fifth contract year and six-month extension period covers FY 2027/28 and FY 2028/29, those agreement amendments will be subject to future budget appropriations.
