Subject: Recommendation for Approval - West Coast Turf Contract Amendment
Recommendation:
1. Approve and authorize the Stadium Manager to execute an Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with West Coast Turf (Agreement) for supply, delivery, and installation of sod services at Levi’s Stadium 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 $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.
Background:
On April 4, 2023, the SCSA Board approved Stadium Manager’s request to establish a three-year agreement with West Coast Turf for the supply, delivery, and installation of sod for the field at Levi’s Stadium. The agreement includes 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 a not-to-exceed
STADIUM
FORTY NINERS STADIUM MANAGEMENT COMPANY
amount of $1,600,000 per contract year. The Board authorized the Executive to approve the exercise of any option to extend the agreement for up to two additional one-year periods, subject to budget appropriations.
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. 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.
West Coast Turf has now referred to Sod Grown on Plastic (SOP) as Ready Play Grass, which reflects their proprietary name.
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, Groundskeeping Department, as a shared expense. Generally, Stadium Authority is responsible for 30% 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 $840,000 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 $8,920,000, inclusive of all contract years and the six-month extension period.

REPORT TO STADIUM AUTHORITY BOARD
SUBJECT
Action on Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement with KPMG LLP for Auditing and Consulting Services for the Santa Clara Stadium Authority
BACKGROUND
The Credit Agreement, entered into between the Santa Clara Stadium Authority (Stadium Authority), Stadium Funding Trust (FinanceCo), and Goldman Sachs Bank USA on March 28, 2012, requires that the Stadium Authority file audited annual financial statements within 180 days after the end of each fiscal year. It further requires that the financial statements be audited by a nationally recognized independent certified public accounting (CPA) firm selected by the Stadium Authority.
Section 8.3.3 of the Amended and Restated Stadium Lease Agreement (Stadium Lease) between the Stadium Authority and Forty Niners SC Stadium Company LLC (StadCo or Tenant) dated June 19, 2013, requires the Stadium Authority to furnish (or cause the Forty Niners Stadium Management Company LLC to furnish) to the Tenant a Statement of Operations within 90 days following each lease year. The Statement of Operations shall be prepared by a qualified, third party independent certified public accountant selected by Landlord and approved by Tenant, of the following: Stadium Authority Revenue, Tenant's Proportionate Share, Shared Stadium Expenses, the amount of Tenant's payments for Estimated Shared Stadium Expenses, Stadium Authority Expenses, Capital Expenditures, Net Income from Non-NFL Events, and distributions to and from the Operating Expense Reserve, Stadium Capital Expenditure Reserve and Renovation/Demolition Reserve. This reporting requirement was also noted in the Harvey Rose Measure J Audit under audit finding item
1.I.
In addition, Section 8.6.3 of the Stadium Lease 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.
DISCUSSION
On June 25, 2021, the Stadium Authority entered into an agreement with KPMG LLP (KPMG) to provide audit services for fiscal years 2020/21 to 2024/25. On June 26, 2024, the Stadium Authority entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with KPMG to increase the compensation by $100,000 for other finance-related ad hoc projects requiring KPMG’s expertise and services. The current agreement as amended with KPMG has a term of five years through March 31, 2026 and includes annual financial audit and agreed upon procedure services on the Shared Stadium Expenses. The agreement’s maximum compensation of $854,554 covers these services.
Due to scheduling conflicts at KPMG, they will not be able to complete the agreed upon procedure City of Santa Clara Printed on 3/20/2026Page 1 of 2

services on the Shared Stadium Expenses for fiscal year 2024/25 by March 31, 2026. Therefore, staff is seeking authorization to execute Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement to extend the term until June 30, 2026 (approximately three months), at no additional cost.
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 Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement with KPMG will not increase the not-to-exceed compensation of $854,554. The cost of the fiscal year 2024/25 audit and services are budgeted in the fiscal year 2025/26 Stadium Authority Operating Budget. There are also appropriations in fiscal year 2026/27 for audit services for any work that will extend beyond March 31, 2026.
COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Stadium Authority Counsel and Executive Director.
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 and authorize the Executive Director or designee to execute Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement with KPMG LLP for audit and consulting services to extend the term of the agreement to June 30, 2026 in a final form approved by the Stadium Authority Counsel.

This letter (Engagement Letter) c,onfirms our understanding of our engagement to provide professional services to the Authority.
Objectives and Limitations of Services
Audit Services
You have requested that we audit the Authority's financial statements as set forth in Appendix I.
We have the responsibility to conduct and will conduct the audit of the financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards for financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards), with the objectives of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement , whether due to error or fraud, and issuing an auditor's report that includes our opinion as to whether the presentation of the financial statements conforms with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but it is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users made on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and Government Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also will:
e Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the financial statements. o Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall financial statement presentat ion, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

o Conclude, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Authority ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, together with the inherent limitations of internal control, there is an unavoidable risk that some material misstatements, fraud, and noncompliance with laws and regulations may exist and not be detected by an audit of financial statements even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and Government Auditing Standards. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Also, an audit is not designed to detect matters that are immaterial to the financial statements.
We will also perform certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information as required by auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. However, we will not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information. Our report relating to the financial statements will include our consideration of required supplementary information.
We also understand that the financial statements will include supplementary information which is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information will be subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America with the objective of expressing an opinion as to whether the supplementary information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.
Subject to the remainder of this paragraph, we will issue a written report upon completion of our audit of the Authority's financial statements addressed to the Board of Directors of the Santa Clara Stadium Authority.
Circumstances may arise in which our report may differ from its expected form and content based on the results of our audit. Depending on the nature of these circumstances, it may be necessary for us to modify our opinion, add an emphasis-of-matter paragraph or other-matter paragraph to our auditor's report, or, if necessary, withdraw from the engagement. If, during the performance of our audit procedures such circumstances arise, we will communicate to the audit committee our reasons for modification or withdrawal.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Compliance and Other Matters We will obtain an understanding of the Authority's internal control relevant to the audit in order to determine the nature, timing, and extent of our audit procedures for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the financial statements but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Authority's internal control.
The objective of our audit of the financial statements is not to report on the Authority's internal control and we are not obligated to search for material weaknesses or significant deficiencies as part of our audit of the financial statements. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or combination of Santa Clara Stadium Authority
March 30, 2021
deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, we will perform tests of the Authority's compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, our objective is not to provide an opinion on compliance with such provisions.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards , we will prepare a written report, Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance With Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS report), on our consideration of internal control over financial reporting and tests of compliance made as part of our audit of the financial statements. This report will include any material weaknesses and significant deficiencies identified during the audit. This report will also include any of the following that we identify or suspect:
o Instances of noncompliance with provisions of laws, regulations, contracts , or grant agreements that have a material effect on the financial statements or other financial data significant to the audit objectives; o Instances of fraud that are material, either qualitatively or quantitatively, to the financial statements or other financial data significant to the audit objectives.
The report will describe its purpose and will state that it is not suitable for any other purpose.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we will also communicate in writing when:
0 Identified or suspected noncompliance with provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, or grant agreements comes lo our attention during the course of our audit that has an effect on the financial statements or other financial data significant to the audit objectives that is less than material but warrants the attention of those charged with governance, or
o We obtained evidence of identified or suspected instances of fraud that have an effect on the financial statements or other financial data significant to the audit objectives that are less than material but warrant the attention of those charged with governance.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we are also required in certain circumstances to report identified or suspected noncompliance with provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, or grant agreements, or instances of fraud directly to parties outside the auditee.
Offering Documents
In the event the Authority requests our involvement with a future exempt filing that will include or incorporate by reference these financial statements and our audit report(s) thereon, professional standards require us to be separately engaged. The specific terms of our future services with respect to future exempt offerings will be determined at the time the services are to be performed and will be subject to the negotiation, agreement, and execution of a specific engagement letter or contract.
Santa Clara Stadium Authority

In the event the Authority does not engage us to be involved with the offering document, then the Authority agrees to include the following language in the offering document:
"KPMG LLP, our independent auditor, has not been engaged to perform and has not performed, since the date of its report included herein, any procedures on the financial statements addressed in that report.
KPMG LLP also has not performed any procedures relating to this official statement." Our Responsibility to Communicate with the Audit Committee We will communicate our planned scope and timing for our audit with the audit committee, including significant risks identified in planning our audit.
We will report to the audit committee or those charged with governance the following matters:
o Material, corrected misstatements that were brought to the attention of management as a result of audit procedures.
• Uncorrected misstatements accumulated by us during the audit and the effect that they, individually or in the aggregate, may have on our opinion in the auditor's report, the effect of uncorrected misstatements related to prior periods, and that uncorrected misstatements or matters underlying those uncorrected misstatements could potentially cause future-period financial statements to be materially misstated, even if the auditor has concluded that the uncorrected misstatements are immaterial to the financial statements under audit.
o Our views about qualitative aspects of the Authority's significant accounting practices, including accounting policies, accounting estimates, and financial statement disclosures. o Significant unusual transactions, if any.
o Significant difficulties, if any, encountered during our audit. o Disagreements with management, if any.
o Circumstances that affect the form and content of our auditor's report, if any. o Matters that are difficult or contentious for which the auditor consulted outside the engagement team and that are, in the auditor's judgment, significant and relevant to those charged with governance regarding their responsibility to oversee the financial reporting process. o Other matters required to be communicated by auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and Government Auditing Standards .
We will also read minutes, if any, of relevant committee meetings for consistency with our understanding of the communications made to the audit committee and determine that the audit committee has received copies of all material written communications between ourselves and management. We will also determine that the audit committee has been informed of i) the initial selection of, or the reasons for any change in, significant accounting policies or their application during the period under audit, ii) the methods used by management to account for significant unusual transactions, and iii) the effect of significant accounting policies in controversial or emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus .
Santa Clara Stadium Authority
March 30, 2021
To the extent that they come to our attention, we will inform the appropriate level of management about any instances of noncompliance or suspected noncompliance with laws and regulations, unless they are clearly inconsequential, material errors in the financial statements and any instances of fraud. Further, to the extent they come to our attention, we also will communicate directly to the audit committee any instances of noncompliance or suspected noncompliance with laws and regulations, unless they are clearly inconsequential, material errors in the financial statements, and any instances of fraud that involve senior management or that, in our judgment, cause a material misstatement of the financial statements .
Management Responsibilities
The management of the Authority acknowledges and understands that they have responsibility for the preparation and fair presentation, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, of the financial statements and all representations contained therein. Management also is responsible for identifying and ensuring that the Authority complies with laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements applicable to its activities, and for informing us of any known instances of noncompliance or suspected noncompliance with laws, regulations and provisions of contracts and grant agreements . Management also is responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of programs and controls to prevent, deter, and detect fraud, for adopting sound accounting policies, and for the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements and to provide reasonable assurance against the possibility of misstatements that are material to the financial statements whether due to error or fraud. Management is also responsible for informing us, of which it has knowledge, of all material weaknesses and significant deficiencies in the design or operation of such controls. The audit of the financial statements does not relieve management or those charged with governance of their responsibilities.
The management of the Authority also acknowledges and understands that they have responsibility for the preparation of the supplementary information in accordance with the applicable criteria. Management is also responsible for providing us written representations regarding the supplementary information. Management is also responsible for including our report on the supplementary information in any document that contains and indicates that we have reported on the supplementary information, and for including the audited financial statements with any presentation of the supplementary information that includes our report thereon or making the audited financial statements readily available to intended users of the supplementary information no later than the date the supplementary information is issued with our report thereon.
Management of the Authority also acknowledges and understands that it is their responsibility to provide us with: i) access to all information of which management is aware that is relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements such as records, documentation, and other matters; ii) additional information that we may request from management for purposes of the audit; and iii) unrestricted access to persons within the entity from whom we determine it necessary to obtain audit evidence. As required by auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, we will make specific inquiries of management about the representations embodied in the financial statements and the effectiveness of internal control, and obtain a representation letter from management about these matters. The responses to our inquiries, the written representations, and the results of audit tests, among other things, comprise the evidential matter we will rely upon in forming an opinion on the financial statements .
To facilitate our audit planning, in accordance with Government Auditing Standards, management agrees to identify and provide copies of reports, if applicable, of previous audits, attestation engagements, or other studies that directly relate to the objectives of the audit, including whether related recommendations have been implemented, prior to April 1, 2021.
Santa Clara Stadium Authority
March 30, 2021
Management is responsible for adjusting the financial statements to correct material misstatements and for affirming to us in the representation letter that the effects of any uncorrected misstatements aggregated by us during the current engagement and pertaining to the latest period presented are immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, to the financial statements being reported upon, taken as a whole. Because of the importance of management's representations to the effective performance of our services, the Authority will release KPMG LLP (KPMG) and its personnel from any claims, liabilities, costs and expenses relating to our services under this Engagement Leiter attributable to any misrepresentations in the representation letter referred to above. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply regardless of the form of action, damage, claim, liability, cost, expense, or loss asserted, whether in contract, statute, tort (including but not limited to negligence) or otherwise.

If such information is not provided on a timely basis prior to release of the report, the GAGAS report will indicate management did not provide written responses.
Management is responsible for the distribution of the reports issued by KPMG.

We will use information from the trial balance and/or other source documents provided by management to assist management in preparing the financial statements and related notes.

If, after good faith efforts, the parties are unable to resolve their dispute through mediation within ninety (90) days after the issuance by one of the parties of a request for mediation, then the parties are free to pursue all other legal and equitable remedies available to them.

In particular, l<PMG's audit technologies, software productivity tools and certain technology infrastructure and, necessarily, your confidential information, may be hosted in cloud environments operated by KPMG Parties or such third party service providers. In addition, for purposes of fulfilling our professional responsibilities, such as maintaining independence and performing conflict checks, the Authority will be listed as a client in internal KPMG Parties' systems accessible on a need to know basis to l<PMG Parties. KPMG represents that it has technical, legal and/or other safeguards, measures and controls in place to protect your confidential information from unauthorized disclosure or use.
Santa Clara Stadium Authority
March 30, 2021
You also understand and agree that the KPMG Parties, with the assistance of third parties as outlined above, may use all the Authority information for other purposes consistent with our professional standards, such as improving the delivery or quality of audit and other services or technology to you and to other clients, thought leadership projects, to allow you and other clients to evaluate various business transactions and opportunities, and for use in presentations to you, other clients and non-clients. When your information is used outside of the KPMG Parties or such third parties assisting them as outlined above, the Authority will not be identified as the source of the information .
It may be necessary or convenient for the Authority to use KP MG-owned or -licensed software, software agents, scripts, technologies, tools or applications (collectively "KPMG Technology ") designed to extract data from The Authority's electronic books and records systems or other systems (collectively , "Systems"), in connection with the audit. The Authority understands and agrees that it is solely responsible for following appropriate change management policies, processes and controls relating to use of such technology (including without limitation appropriate backup of the Authority's information and Systems) (collectively, "Change Management Processes") before such KPMG Technology is utilized to extract data from the Systems. In the event the Authority fails to use such Change Management Processes or if such Change Management Processes prove to be inadequate, the Authority acknowledges that the Systems and/or KPMG Technology may not function as intended. In consideration of the foregoing, KPMG hereby grants the Authority the right to use KPMG Technology solely to facilitate the Authority's necessary or convenient provision of information to KPMG in connection with the audit, and this grant does not extend to any other purposes or use by third parties outside of your organization without our prior written approval, provided that third party contractors of the Authority having a need to know in order to perform their services to the Authority are permitted to use KPMG Technology to the extent necessary for such parties to perform such services, so long as the Authority exercises the same level of care to protect such KPMG Technology and KPMG confidential information as it uses to protect its own confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable care. Other than as expressly permitted hereby, the Authority agrees to keep KPMG Technology confidential, using no less than a reasonable standard of care to protect it from unauthorized disclosure or use, and to notify KPMG of any legal compulsions to disclose it, in accordance with the provisions governing legal demand of confidential information which appear in this engagement letter with respect to which the KPMG Technology is being used, mutatis mutandis. If the KPMG Technology is subject to any third party license terms and conditions before being provided to the Authority, the Authority may be required to accept such terms and conditions before using the KPMG Technology, in which case KPMG will provide such license terms and conditions to the Authority in writing before the Authority elects to use the KPMG Technology .
Except as otherwise provided for in this Engagement Letter, neither party may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights, obligations, claims or proceeds from claims arising under or relating to this Engagement Letter (including by operation of law, in which case the assigning party will, to the extent legally permissible , give as much advance written notice as is reasonably practicable thereof) without the prior written consent of the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld . Any assignment in violation hereof shall be null and void.
As required by Government Auditing Standards, we have attached a copy of l<PMG's most recent peer review report.

Reports, Services and Associated Fees
Based upon our discussions with and representations of management, our fees for services we will perform are estimated as follows:
Audit of financial statements and related notes to the
financial statements of the Authority as of and for the year ended March 31, 2021 and Agreed-Upon
Procedures Reports $142,120
The above estimates are based on the level of experience of the individuals who will perform the services. Circumstances encountered during the performance of these services that warrant additional time or expense could cause us to be unable to deliver them within the above estimates. We will endeavor to notify you of any such circumstances as they are assessed.
Where KPMG is reimbursed for expenses, it is KPMG's policy to bill clients the amount incurred at the time the good or service is purchased. If KPMG subsequently receives a volume rebate or other incentive payment from a vendor relating to such expenses, KPMG does not credit such payment to the client.
Instead, KPMG applies such payments to reduce its overhead costs, which costs are taken into account in determining KPMG's standard billing rates and certain transaction charges which may be charged to clients.
All fees, charges and other amounts payable to KPMG under the Engagement Letter do not include any sales, use, excise, value added, income or other applicable taxes, tariffs or duties, payment of which shall be the Authority's sole responsibility, excluding any applicable taxes based on KPMG's net income or taxes arising from the employment or independent contractor relationship between KPMG and its personnel.

Consequently, we make no representation regarding the sufficiency of the procedures either for the purpose for which our report is being prepared or for any other purpose. Execution of this Engagement Letter will signify the Authority's agreement to the procedures and to its responsibility for the sufficiency of the procedures for its purposes. 1) Obtain the Stadium Lease Agreement by and between the Santa Clara Stadium Authority and Forty Niners Stadium Company LLC dated as of March 28, 2012, as amended and restated as of June 19, 2013 (Lease Agreement) .
2) Obtain the following Shared Expense categories utilized by ManagementCo and agree them to the Lease agreement in Procedure 1.

d. Other specified shared expenses (StadCo's share of 50%) e. Groundskeeping services (StadCo's share of 70%)
f. Insurance expenses (1 st lease year $2,550,000, 2nd lease year onwards $2,550,000 increased by 3% each year, tenant expansion period 0%)
3) Determine if SCSA properly charged StadCo for its proportionate share of the Shared Stadium Expenses by obtaining the final Shared Stadium Expenses reconciliation prepared by ManagementCo and comparing it against the Estimated Shared Stadium Expenses paid by StadCo.

If such a representation letter is not provided, which includes the aforementioned assertion, it may be necessary for us to withdraw from the engagement.
Our engagement to apply agreed-upon procedures will be performed in accordance with the attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Because the agreed-upon procedures referred to above do not constitute an examination or review, we will not express an opinion or conclusion on Shared Expenses of the Authority. Our report will include a statement to that effect. In addition, we have no obligation to perform any procedures beyond those referred to above.
Our written independent accountants' agreed-upon procedures report will include a list of the procedures performed (or reference thereto) and the related findings. Our report will also contain a paragraph indicating that had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to you. We have no responsibility to update our report for events and circumstances occurring after the date of such report.
Our report is intended solely for the use of the Authority, and is not intended for use by those who have not agreed to the procedures and taken responsibility for the sufficiency of the procedures for their purposes. Our report will include a statement to that effect. If you request that additional specified users of the report be added, we will require that they acknowledge, in writing, their agreement with the procedures and their responsibility for the sufficiency of the procedures for their purposes.
If we are unable to complete the agreed-upon procedures referred to above, we will discuss the matter with you during the engagement. In such circumstances, we may conclude that we will not issue a report as a result of this engagement.

Unless requested by KPMG to allow it to complete its audit, the Authority will not provide KPMG, or grant KPMG access to, (a) information (including technical data or technology), verbally, electronically, or in hardcopy, (b) software or (c) hardware, that is controlled for export by the United States government under the Arms Export Control Act of 1976, Export Control Reform Act of 2018, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations ("!TAR"), Export Administration Regulations ("EAR"), Department of Energy Part 810 Regulations or Nuclear Regulatory Commission Part 110 Regulations, except information, software or hardware that is classified as EAR99 under the EAR ("Export Controlled Information") .

otherwise to make information relating to the service under the Engagement Letter available to a third party, or the Authority, the Authority shall reimburse KPMG for its professional time, at its then-current standard hourly rates, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred in producing documents or personnel or providing information pursuant to such requests, authorizations or requirements.
KPMG, as an accounting firm, has an obligation to comply with applicable professional standards. Certain professional standards, including AICPA Code of Professional Conduct Section 1. 700, "Confidential Client Information Rule," adopted by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and similar rules adopted by the ooards of accountancy of many states, prohibit the disclosure of client confidential information without client consent, except in limited circumstances . KPMG represents to the Authority that KPMG will treat the Authority's confidential information in accordance with applicable professional standards .
KPMG may work with and use the services of other members of the international KPMG network of independent firms and entities controlled by, or under common control with, one or more KPMG member firms (together with KPMG, the "KPMG Firms") to provide services to the Authority . The KPMG Firms, together with the entities compris ing KPMG International, shall be referred to herein as the "l<PMG Parties." In connection with the performance of services under this Engagement Letter, the l<PMG Firms may, in their discretion, utilize the services of third party service providers within or outside of the United States to complete the services under this Engagement Letter. KPMG Parties and such third parties may have access to your confidential information from offshore locations. In addition, KPMG uses third party service providers within and outside of the United States to provide, at its direction, back-office administrative and clerical, or analytical services to KPMG and these third party service providers may in the performance of such services have access to your confidential information. In particular, KPMG's audit technologies, software productivity tools and certain technology infrastructure and, necessarily, your confidential information, may be hosted in cloud environments operated by KPMG Parties or such third party service providers . In addition, for purposes of fulfilling our professional responsibilities, such as maintaining independence and performing conflict checks, the Authority will be listed as a client in internal KPMG Parties' systems accessible on a need to know basis to KPMG Parties. KPMG represents that it has technical, legal and/or other safeguards , measures and controls in place to protect your confidential information from unauthorized disclosure or use.
You also understand and agree that the KPMG Parties, with the assistance of third parties as outlined above, may use all the Authority information for other purposes consistent with our professional standards, such as improving the delivery or quality of audit and other services or technology to you and to other clients, thought leadership projects, to allow you and other clients to evaluate various business transactions and opportunities, and for use in presentations to you, other clients and non-clients. When your information is used outside of the KPMG Parties or such third parties assisting them as outlined above, the Authority will not be identified as the source of the information .
Except as otherwise provided for in this Engagement Letter, neither party may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights, obligations, claims or proceeds from claims arising under or relating to this Engagement Letter (including by operation of law, in which case the assigning party will, to the extent legally permissible, give as much advance written notice as is reasonably practicable thereof) without the prior written consent of the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

services are provided as a single annual engagement. Pursuant to our arrangement as reflected in this Engagement Letter we will provide the services set forth in Appendix I of the financial statement audit engagement letter as a single engagement for each of the Authority's subsequent fiscal years until either those charged with governance or we terminate this agreement, or mutually agree to the modification of its terms.
The fees for each subsequent year will be annually subject to negotiation and approval by those charged with governance.
Based upon our discussions with and representations of the Authority, we estimate that fees for these services is $15,000. This estimate is based on the level of experience of the individuals who will perform the services. In addition, expenses are billed for reimbursement as incurred. Circumstances encountered during the performance of these services that warrant additional time or expense could cause us to be unable to deliver the services within the above estimates. We will endeavor to notify you of any such circumstances as they are assessed.
Our fees and expenses will be billed every two weeks as charges are incurred. All invoices shall be paid within 30 days after the date thereof. In the event any invoice is not timely paid as set forth herein, then upon five days prior written notice to you, KPMG may terminate its performance hereunder and will not be responsible for any loss, costs, or expense thereby resulting. It is understood that neither our fees nor the payment thereof will be contingent upon the results of our engagement.
Where KPMG is reimbursed for expenses, it is KPMG's policy to bill clients the amount incurred at the time the good or service is purchased . If KPMG subsequently receives a volume rebate or other incentive payment from a vendor relating to such expenses, l<PMG does not credit such payment to the client. Instead, KPMG applies such payments to reduce its overhead costs, which costs are taken into account in determining KPMG's standard billing rates and certain transaction charges which may be charged to clients.
All fees, charges and other amounts payable to KPMG under the Engagement Letter do not include any sales, use, excise, value added, income or other applicable taxes, tariffs or duties, payment of which shall be the Authority's sole responsibility, excluding any applicable taxes based on KPMG's net income or taxes arising from the employment or independent contractor relationship between KPMG and its personnel.

Execution of this Engagement Letter will signify the Authority's agreement to the procedures and to its responsibility for the sufficiency of the procedures for its purposes .

The Authority acknowledges its responsibility for determining the scope of the engagement, including the subject matter and criteria used in evaluating the subject matter, agreeing to the procedures and the sufficiency of such procedures for the Authority's purposes. At the conclusion of the engagement, the Authority agrees to supply us with a representation letter that will include the Authority's assertion about the Shared Expenses based on the criteria and will include:

If such a representation letter is not provided, which includes the aforementioned assertion, it may be necessary for us to withdraw from the engagement.
Our engagement to apply agreed-upon procedures will be performed in accordance with the attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants . Because the agreed-upon procedures referred to above do not constitute an examination or review, we will not express an opinion or conclusion on Shared Expenses of the Authority. Our report will include a statement to that effect. In addition, we have no obligation to perform any procedures beyond those referred to above.
Our written independent accountants' agreed-upon procedures report will include a list of the procedures performed (or reference thereto) and the related findings. Our report will also contain a paragraph indicating that had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would·have been reported to you. We have no responsibility to update our report for events and circumstances occurring after the date of such report.
Our report is intended solely for the use of the Authority, and is not intended for use by those who have not agreed to the procedures and taken responsibility for the sufficiency of the procedures for their purposes. Our report will include a statement to that effect. If you request that additional specified users of the report be added, we will require that they acknowledge, in writing, their agreement with the procedures and their responsibility for the sufficiency of the procedures for their purposes.
If we are unable to complete the agreed-upon procedures referred to above, we will discuss the matter with you during the engagement. In such circumstances, we may conclude that we will not issue a report as a result of this engagement.

Certain professional standards, including AICPA Code of Professional Conduct Section 1.700, "Confidential Client Information Rule," adopted by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and similar rules adopted by the boards of accountancy of many states, prohibit the disclosure of client confidential information without client consent, except in limited circumstances. KPMG represents to the Authority that KPMG will treat the Authority's confidential information in accordance with applicable professional standards.
KPMG may work with and use the services of other members of the international KPMG network of independent firms and entities controlled by, or under common control with, one or more KPMG member firms (together with KPMG, the "KPMG Firms") to provide services to the Authority. The KPMG Firms, together with the entities comprising l<PMG International, shall be referred to herein as the "KPMG Parties." In connection with the performance of services under this Engagement Letter, the KPMG Firms may, in their discretion, utilize the services of third party service providers within or outside of the United States to complete the services under this Engagement Letter. KPMG Parties and such third parties may have access to your confidential information from offshore locations. In addition, l<PMG uses third party service providers within and outside of the United States to provide, at its direction, back-office administrative and clerical, or analytical services to KPMG and these third party service providers may in the performance of such services have access to your confidential information . In particular, KPMG's audit technologies, software productivity tools and certain technology infrastructure and, necessarily, your confidential information, may be hosted in cloud environments operated by KPMG Parties or such third party service providers. In addition, for purposes of fulfilling our professional responsibilities, such as maintaining independence and performing conflict checks, the Authority will be listed as a client in internal KPMG Parties' systems accessible on a need to know basis to KPMG Parties. KPMG represents that it has technical, legal and/or other safeguards, measures and controls in place to protect your confidential information from unauthorized disclosure or use.
You also understand and agree that the KPMG Parties, with the assistance of third parties as outlined above, may use all the Authority information for other purposes consistent with our professional standards, such as improving the delivery or quality of audit and other services or technology to you and to other clients, thought leadership projects, to allow you and other clients to evaluate various business transactions and opportunities, and for use in presentations to you, other clients and non-clients. When your information is used outside of the KPMG Parties or such third parties assisting them as outlined above, the Authority will not be identified as the source of the information.
Except as otherwise provided for in this Engagement Letter, neither party may assign , transfer or delegate any of its rights, obligations, claims or proceeds from claims arising under or relating to this Engagement Letter (including by operation of law, in which case the assigning party will, to the extent legally permissible , give as much advance written notice as is reasonably practicable thereof) without the prior written consent of the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Any assignment in violation hereof shall be null and void. *******

Our engagement herein is for the provision of annual audit services for the financial statements for the periods described in Appendix I of the financial statement audit engagement letter, and it is understood that such services are provided as a single annual engagement. Pursuant to our arrangement as reflected in this Engagement Letter we will provide the services set forth in Appendix I of the financial statement audit engagement letter as a single engagement for each of the Authority's subsequent fiscal years until either those charged with governance or we terminate this agreement, or mutually agree to the modification of its terms .
The fees for each subsequent year will be annually subject to negotiation and approval by those charged with governance.
Based upon our discussions with and representations of the Authority, we estimate that fees for these services is $20,000. This estimate is based on the level of experience of the individuals who will perform the services. In addition, expenses are billed for reimbursement as incurred. Circumstances encountered during the performance of these services that warrant additional time or expense could cause us to be unable to deliver the services within the above estimates. We will endeavor to notify you of any such circumstances as they are assessed.
Our fees and expenses will be billed every two weeks as charges are incurred. All invoices shall be paid within 30 days after the date thereof. In the event any invoice is not timely paid as set forth herein, then upon five days prior written notice to you, KPMG may terminate its performance hereunder and will not be responsible for any loss, costs, or expense thereby resulting. It is understood that neither our fees nor the payment thereof will be contingent upon the results of our engagement.
Where KPMG is reimbursed for expenses, it is KPMG's policy to bill clients the amount incurred at the time the good or service is purchased. If KPMG subsequently receives a volume rebate or other incentive payment from a vendor relating to such expenses, KPMG does not credit such payment to the client. Instead, KPMG applies such payments to reduce its overhead costs, which costs are taken into account in determining KPMG's standard billing rates and certain transaction charges which may be charged to clients.
All fees, charges and other amounts payable to l<PMG under the Engagement Letter do not include any sales, use, excise, value added, income or other applicable taxes, tariffs or duties, payment of which shall be the Authority's sole responsibility, excluding any applicable taxes based on KPMG's net income or taxes arising from the employment or independent contractor relationship between KPMG and its personnel.

REPORT TO STADIUM AUTHORITY BOARD
SUBJECT
Action on an Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement with Integrated Communication Systems for Fire Alarm Testing, Inspection, Maintenance, and Related Services 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 conducted a Request For Proposals (RFP) process for fire alarm testing, inspection, maintenance, and related services. The highest scoring proposer took exception to the terms and conditions agreed upon in their initial proposal response during the agreement execution stage. Representatives from the Stadium Manager and vendor attempted to resolve issues related to indemnity and liability provisions but could not mutually agree on the terms proposed by the vendor. The Stadium Authority Counsel reviewed the vendor’s proposed language and concurred with the Stadium Manager’s concerns. As such, the Stadium Manager recommended moving forward with the second-highest rated proposer in the Stadium Manager’s RFP process, Integrated Communication Systems (ICS).
On May 23, 2023, the Stadium Authority Board approved an Agreement with ICS to provide fire alarm testing, inspection, maintenance, and related services at Levi’s Stadium (Agreement) (Attachment 1).
The Agreement included an initial three-year term through March 31, 2026, with the option to extend the agreement for two additional one-year periods, in an amount not to exceed $115,000 for the first contract year, $117,000 for the second contract year, and $120,000 for the third contract year, for a total not to exceed amount of $352,000 over the three-year period. 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.
On June 24, 2025, the Stadium Authority Board approved an Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with ICS to increase the not to exceed amount to $133,000 for the second contract year and $160,000 for the third contract year, for a total not to exceed amount of $408,000 over the three-year period, with the option to extend the agreement for two additional one-year periods, subject to budget appropriations (Attachment 2).

26-313 Agenda Date: 3/24/2026
To ensure continuity of fire alarm testing, inspections, maintenance, and related 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 ICS:
1. Approve and authorize the Stadium Manager to execute an Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement with ICS to increase the maximum compensation by $160,000 to cover services from April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027 (Attachment 3).
2. Authorize the Executive Director to approve future amendments to the Agreement with ICS to exercise the final one-year option for the fifth contract year and increase the not-to-exceed amount by $168,000 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 with ICS, 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 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 $824,200.
The Stadium Manager’s request for an Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement with ICS 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. 2 to the Agreement with ICS includes an increase to the total agreement amount, an updated compensation and fee schedule in Exhibit B-2, and additional delegation of authority to the Executive Director for future amendments related to contract year five and the additional six months, which require additional Stadium Authority Board action. As such, Amendment No. 2 is being presented for the Stadium Authority Board’s approval.
A Recommendation Memo was submitted describing the Stadium Manager’s request in more detail (Attachment 4).
DISCUSSION
Regular testing of the fire alarm system is critical to the safe operation of the stadium. To maintain a consistent and safe operating environment for Non-NFL and NFL events, the vendor performs regular inspections of the fire alarm system, performs corrective maintenance as issues arise, and provides on-site response and emergency services as needed.
As noted above, the Executive Director has delegated authority 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. As the delegated authority did not cover increases in the not-to-exceed agreement amount and updates to the compensation and fee schedule, the requested Amendment No. 2 is provided for approval.

26-313 Agenda Date: 3/24/2026
The rate increases in Exhibit B-2 ranged from 5-6.4%, exceeding the regional Consumer Price Index (CPI). As such, Stadium Authority staff followed up with the Stadium Manager for additional information. The Stadium Manager explained that the rate increases for contract year four aligned with CPI trends and the percentage increases year over year for the first three years of the agreement. The rate increase in the second year was 5%, and in the third year, it was 4%.
To ensure efficiencies through administrative approval, which was intended through the original request for approval of the Agreement with ICSs with delegated authority to the Executive Director to approve their exercise of option years, the Stadium Manager is also requesting the Stadium Authority Board also delegate authority to the Executive Director for future amendments, specifically, 1) 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 $168,000 (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 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. 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 $824,200.

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 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 increases 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 City of Santa Clara Printed on 3/20/2026Page 3 of 6

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 and Amendment No. 1 to Agreement with Integrated Communication Systems, and the draft Amendment No. 2, staff recommends approval of the Stadium Manager’s requests related to the Agreement with ICS to continue fire alarm testing, inspection, maintenance, and related services at Levi’s Stadium with minor modifications - with respect to the recommendation to approve Amendment No. 2, 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. 2 described above for comparison to the Stadium Authority’s customary language. Nothing in the proposed Amendment No. 2 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. The proposed action does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(a), as it has no potential to result in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
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. 2 to the Agreement with ICS will increase the agreement’s total not-to City of Santa Clara Printed on 3/20/2026Page 4 of 6

26-313 Agenda Date: 3/24/2026
-exceed amount by $160,000, from $408,000 to $568,000 over the four-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 $842,200 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 costs for the Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement with ICS (up to $80,000). 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.

Subject: Recommendation for Approval - Integrated Communication Systems (ICS) Contract Amendment
Recommendation:
1. Approve and authorize the Stadium Manager to execute an Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement with ICS (Agreement) for fire alarm testing, inspections, maintenance, and related services at Levi’s Stadium to increase the maximum compensation by $160,000 to cover services from April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027.
2. Authorize the Executive Director to approve future amendments to the Agreement to: (a) exercise the final one-year option for the fifth contract year and increase the not-to- exceed amount by $168,000 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 $88,200 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 $824,200.
Background:
On May 23, 2023, the SCSA Board approved Stadium Manager’s request to establish a three- year agreement with ICS for fire alarm testing, inspections, maintenance, and related services, which includes an option to renew for two one-year periods. The initial term of the Agreement was from June 1, 2023, through March 31, 2026, with an aggregate not-to-exceed amount of
STADIUM
FORTY NINERS STADIUM MANAGEMENT COMPANY
$352,000. The Board authorized the Executive to approve the exercise of any option to extend the agreement for up to two additional one-year periods, subject to budget appropriations. On June 24, 2025, the Board approved Amendment No. 1, which increased the aggregate not-to- exceed amount to $408,000.
Regular testing of the fire alarm system is critical to the safe operation of the stadium. To maintain a consistent and safe operating environment for Non-NFL and NFL events, the vendor performs regular inspections of the EST3 fire alarm system, performs corrective maintenance as issues arise, and provides on-site response and emergency services as needed.
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 of $88,200 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 $824,200, inclusive of all contract years and the six-month extension period.

REPORT TO STADIUM AUTHORITY BOARD
SUBJECT
Action on an Amendment No. 3 to the Agreement with Everon LLC for Fire Sprinkler Testing, Inspection, and Maintenance Services 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 completed a Request For Proposals (RFP) process for fire sprinkler testing, inspection, maintenance, and related services, which received three proposals. The Stadium Manager recommended an award to the highest-ranked proposer offering the best value, ADT Commercial LLC.
On March 21, 2023, the Stadium Authority Board approved the Stadium Manager’s request to establish a three-year agreement with ADT Commercial LLC to provide fire sprinkler testing, inspection, maintenance, and related services with an option to renew for two one-year periods (Agreement) (Attachment 1). The initial term of the agreement was from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2026, with a not-to-exceed amount of $228,000 over the three-year period. 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.
After executing the three-year agreement, ADT Commercial was acquired by GTCR, a private equity firm, and rebranded to Everon, LLC. On September 17, 2025, the Stadium Manager and Everon, LLC entered into a Forty Niners Stadium Management Company LLC Consent to Assignment Agreement for the purpose of executing a separate Amendment No. 1 to the service agreement to expand the scope to include a fire sprinkler head installation, as required by the Santa Clara Fire Department through an annual inspection. The Stadium Manager executed Amendment No. 1, effective October 10, 2025, to include the additional services (Attachment 2).
On November 18, 2025, the Stadium Authority Board ratified the Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with Everon, LLC that covered a necessary fire sprinkler installation; approved and authorized the Stadium Manager to execute Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement with Everon, LLC to increase the not to exceed amount by $24,000 for contract year three, for a total not to exceed amount of City of Santa Clara Printed on 3/20/2026Page 1 of 6

26-316 Agenda Date: 3/24/2026
$252,000 over the initial three-year period (Attachment 3); and authorized the Executive Director to approve future amendments to the Agreement with Everon, LLC to exercise options to extend the term for two additional one year periods, and increase the not to exceed agreement amounts for contract years four and five in amounts determined by the Executive Director as necessary and appropriate to provide fire sprinkler testing, inspection, maintenance, and related services, subject to budget appropriations.
To ensure continuity of fire sprinkler testing, inspection, maintenance, and related services in advance of the initial three-year term expiring on March 31, 2026, the Stadium Manager is requesting approval the following actions related to the Agreement with Everon LLC:
1. Approve and authorize the Stadium Manager to execute an Amendment No. 3 to the Agreement with Everon LLC to increase the maximum compensation by $94,000 to cover services from April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027 (Attachment 4);
2. Authorize the Executive Director to 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 $98,700 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
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 $49,862 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 $494,562.
The Stadium Manager’s request for an Amendment No. 3 to the Agreement with Everon LLC to increase the agreement by $94,000 for contract year four 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. 3 to the Agreement with Everon LLC also includes an updated compensation and fee schedule reflected in Exhibit B-2 and additional delegation of authority to the Executive Director for future amendments related to the contract year five and six-month extension require additional Stadium Authority Board action. As such, the requests are being presented to the Stadium Authority Board for approval.
A Recommendation Memo was submitted describing the Stadium Manager’s request in more detail (Attachment 5).
DISCUSSION
Stadium Manager has a continued need for comprehensive fire sprinkler testing, inspection, and maintenance services to support the day-to-day operations and maintenance of Levi’s Stadium.
Regular testing of the fire sprinkler system is essential for the stadium's safe operation. The vendor City of Santa Clara Printed on 3/20/2026Page 2 of 6
powered by Legistar™
26-316 Agenda Date: 3/24/2026
performs routine inspections in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards, conducts corrective maintenance when issues are identified, and provides onsite response and emergency services as needed.
As noted above, the Executive Director has delegated authority to approve future amendments to the Agreement with Everon, LLC to exercise options to extend the term for two additional one-year periods and increase the not to exceed agreement amounts for contract years four and five in amounts determined by the Executive Director as necessary and appropriate, subject to budget appropriations. As the delegated authority did not cover updates to the compensation and fee schedule, the requested Amendment No. 3 is provided for approval.
In staff’s review, the rate increases for all routine services under Exhibit B-2 were reasonable and reflective of the regional Consumer Price Index (CPI). For additional services, the rate increased by
4.6%, which slightly exceeded the region’s CPI at 2.7%, and Stadium Authority staff followed up with the Stadium Manager for additional justification. The vendor proposed a significantly higher rate and the Stadium Manager negotiated a 4.6% increase. Stadium Authority staff calculated the impact of the additional services increase, which would increase by a total of approximately $1,200 a year. This is offset by the savings where there is no rate increase or the increase was lower than the CPI for the routine rates. As such, staff had no additional concerns with the increase.
To ensure efficiencies through administrative approval, which was intended through the original request for approval of the Agreement, the Stadium Manager is also requesting for additional delegation of authority to the Executive Director, 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 $98,700 (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 2) approve a 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 $49,862 (reflective of a 1% 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 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 $494,562.
Table 1 below provides a summary of the costs under the agreement.

26-316 Agenda Date: 3/24/2026
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 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 ADT Commercial LLC and Amendments No. 1 and 2 to the Agreement with Everon LLC, the draft Amendment No. 3, and additional justification provided by the Stadium Manager, staff recommends approval of the Stadium Manager’s requests related to the Agreement with Everon LLC to continue fire sprinkler testing, inspection, maintenance, and related services at Levi’s Stadium with minor modifications - respect to the recommendation to approve Amendment No. 3, 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 six-month extension period, 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. 3 for comparison to the Stadium Authority’s customary language. Nothing in the proposed Amendment No. 3 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. The proposed action does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(a), as it has no potential to result in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the City of Santa Clara Printed on 3/20/2026Page 4 of 6

environment.
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. 3 to the Agreement with Everon LLC will increase the agreement’s total not-to-exceed amount by $94,000 for contract year four, for a total aggregate amount of $346,000. 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 $494,562 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 costs for the Amendment No. 3 with Everon LLC (up to $47,000). 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.
COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Stadium Authority Counsel and Treasurer’s Office.
