3.7.10 Hours of Work. Contractor is advised that eight (8) hours labor constitutes a legal day’s work.

The payroll records shall be certified and shall be available for inspection at all reasonable hours at the principal office of Contractor in the manner provided in Labor Code Section 1776. In the event of noncompliance with the requirements of this Section, Contractor shall have 10 days in which to comply subsequent to receipt of written notice specifying in what respects such Contractor must comply with this Section. Should noncompliance still be evident after such 10-day period, Contractor shall, as a penalty, forfeit not more than $100.00 for each calendar day or portion thereof, for each worker, until strict compliance is effectuated. The amount of the forfeiture is to be determined by the Labor Commissioner. A contractor who is found to have violated the provisions of law regarding wages on Public Works with the intent to defraud shall be ineligible to bid on Public Works contracts for a period of one to three years as determined by the Labor Commissioner. Upon the request of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards or the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, such penalties shall be withheld from progress payments then due. The responsibility for compliance with this Section is on Contractor. The requirement to submit certified payroll records directly to the Labor Commissioner under Labor Code Section 1771.4 shall not apply to work performed on a public works project that is exempt pursuant to the small project exemption specified in Labor Code Section 1771.4.

3.7.12 Contractor and Subcontractor Registration. Pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1, all contractors and subcontractors that wish to bid on, be listed in a bid proposal, or enter into a contract to perform public work must be registered with the •

THE CONDITION OF THIS OBLIGATION IS SUCH, that, if the Contractor, his or its heirs, executors, administrators, successors or assigns, shall in all things stand to and abide by, and well and truly keep and perform the covenants, conditions and agreements in the Contract Documents and any alteration thereof made as therein provided, on its part, to be kept and performed at the time and in the manner therein s pecified, and in all respects according to their intent and meaning; and shall faithfully fulfill all obligations including the one-year guarantee of all materials and workmanship; and shall indemnify and save harmless the Indemnified Parties, as stipulated and defined in said Contract Documents, then this obligation shall become null and void; otherwise it shall be and remain in full force and effect.

As a condition precedent to the satisfactory completion of the Contract Documents, unless otherwise provided for in the Contract Documents, the above obligation shall hold good for a period of one (1) year after the acceptance of the work by Stadium Manager, during which time if Contractor shall fail to make full, complete, and satisfactory repair and replacements and totally protect the Stadium Manager from loss or damage resulting from or caused by defective materials or faulty workmanship, Surety shall undertake and faithfully fulfill all such obligations. The obligations of Surety hereunder shall continue so long as any obligation of Contractor remains.

Nothing herein shall limit the Stadium Manager’s rights or the Contractor or Surety’s obligations under the Contract, law or equity, including, but not limited to, California Code of Civil Procedure Section 337.15.

Whenever Contractor shall be, and is declared by the Stadium Manager to be, in default under the Contract Documents, the Surety shall remedy the default pursuant to the Contract Documents, or shall promptly, at the Stadium Manager’s option:

(1) Take over and complete the Project in accordance with all terms and conditions in the Contract Documents; or
(2) Obtain a bid or bids for completing the Project in accordance with all terms and conditions in the Contract Documents and upon determination by Surety of the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, arrange for a Contract between such bidder, the Surety and the Stadium Manager, and make available as work progresses sufficient funds to pay the cost of completion of the Project, less the balance of the contract price, including other costs and damages for which Surety may be liable. The term “balance of the contract price” as used in this paragraph shall mean the total amount payable to Contractor by the Stadium Manager under the Contract and any modification thereto, less any amount previously paid by the Stadium Manager to the Contractor and any other set offs pursuant to the Contract Documents.
(3) Permit the Stadium Manager to complete the Project in any manner consistent with local, California and federal law and make available as work progresses sufficient funds to pay the cost of completion of the Project, less the balance of the contract price, including other costs and damages for which Surety may be liable. The term “balance of the contract price” as used in this paragraph shall mean the total amount payable to Contractor by the Stadium Manager under the Contract and any modification thereto, less any amount previously paid by the Stadium Manager to the Contractor and any other set offs pursuant to the Contract Documents.

Surety expressly agrees that the Stadium Manager may reject any contractor or subcontractor which may be proposed by Surety in fulfillment of its obligations in the event of default by the Contractor.

Surety shall not utilize Contractor in completing the Project nor shall Surety accept a bid from Contractor for completion of the Project if the Stadium Manager, when declaring the Contractor in default, notifies Surety of the Stadium Manager’s objection to Contractor’s further participation in the completion of the Project.

The Surety, for value received, hereby stipulates and agrees that no change, extension of time, alteration or addition to the terms of the Contract Documents or to the Project to be performed thereunder shall in any way affect its obligations on this bond, and it does hereby waive notice of any such change, extension of time, alteration or addition to the terms of the Contract Documents or to the Project, including but not limited to the provisions of Sections 2819 and 2845 of the California Civil Code.

The amount of the forfeiture is to be determined by the Labor Commissioner.

Authorize the Stadium Authority Executive Director to approve future amendments as needed to: (a) exercise the option to extend the Agreements by two (2) one-year extension periods through March 31, 2031, and to establish the not-to-exceed amount for each extension period of $250,000 to cover services during each extension; (b) increase the rates in contract years two through five (April 1, 2027 - March 31, 2031) by up to five percent (5%) over the previous year’s rates in accordance with the terms and conditions associated with rate increases in Exhibit G of the Agreements; (c) increase the not-to-exceed amount payable under each Agreement for contract years two through five (April 1, 2027- March 31, 2031), by up to five percent (5%) over the previous year's amount to account for rate increases, subject to budget appropriations; and (c) increase the not-to-exceed amount of any Agreement during any contract year using contingency funds as needed to cover unforeseen services, subject to budget appropriations. The

STADIUM

aggregate total not-to-exceed value of amounts payable under all Agreements over the five (5) year term, inclusive of all contract years and contingency, shall not exceed $1,506,408 – see Table 1 below for details.

4. Authorize the Stadium Manager to issue and execute task orders to the three contracting firms, up to the aggregate not-to-exceed amount for each contract year, subject to budget appropriations.

Reasons for Recommendation
Forty Niners Stadium Management Company LLC (Stadium Manager) is responsible for continuous year-round management, operations, and maintenance of the 1.85 million square foot Stadium. Given the facility’s size and complex electrical components, the Stadium Manager determined it is necessary to establish a bench of qualified, experienced providers to provide electrical and repair services on an on-call, “as needed” basis, ensuring required management services are met.

There are several reasons to enter into contracts with three on-call electrical providers. First, having multiple providers under contract allows the Stadium Manager to seek competitive quotes from each provider when needed, thereby ensuring we receive the most competitive pricing for each service. Second, having multiple on-call electrical providers under contract enables us to select the provider whose expertise and strengths align with the specific repairs or specialty required for our complex facility. Third, our experience has shown that having more than two on-call providers is the best practice, allowing us to quickly address all repairs, including unexpected emergencies, thereby minimizing facility downtime. Having three on-call providers reduces the likelihood of scheduling delays or delays in urgent repairs due to provider scheduling.

To provide a consistent and safe operating environment for daily usage and events, these services include repairing power connections for equipment, replacing circuit breakers, troubleshooting electrical malfunctions, and testing and repairing various electrical systems.

Stadium Manager has regularly used on-call electrical vendors for electrical repairs, and we anticipate a continued need, as Levi’s Stadium is a complex, aging facility. Stadium Manager previously contracted with two on-call electrical vendors under a three-year agreement beginning May 5, 2021, and ending May 4, 2024, with an option to extend the term for two additional one- year periods. Total expenses for the first three-year term were $587,844.96, and total expenses for the five-year term through March 2026 is $642,535.32.

RFP Process:

On August 11, 2025, Stadium Manager issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to select multiple qualified firms to provide on-call electrical maintenance and repair services at Levi’s Stadium.

Stadium Manager published the RFP on Bonfire Interactive, Stadium Manager’s eProcurement portal https://49ers.bonfirehub.com/portal/. In addition to inviting firms from our established supplier list, Stadium Manager also invited suppliers registered on the portal with specific commodity codes that offer these services. On August 26, 2025, Stadium Manager conducted a non-mandatory Pre-Proposal Conference and site visit at the Stadium. Stadium Manager 4900 Marie P. DeBartolo Way I Santa Clara, CA 95054

conducted a comprehensive site visit and provided clarifications to questions from proposers. On September 5, 2025, Addendum #1 to the RFP was issued, providing answers to questions from proposers. The RFP closed on September 18, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. (PT).

Six proposals were received from the following firms on or before the RFP due date and time.

1. ASF Electric, Inc. (ASF)

2. Bear Electrical Solutions, LLC (Bear)

3. Cupertino Electric, Inc. (CEI)

4. JJG Services Inc., DBA Corinthian Electric (Corinthian)

5. Sprig Electric Co. (Sprig)

6. Telstar Instruments (Telstar)

Evaluation Process:

An evaluation committee (EC) consisting of subject matter experts from Stadium Manager was formed. An Evaluator’s Guide outlining the roles and responsibilities of the EC was provided to each EC member. Each EC member executed the following forms:
• Proposal Evaluator Guidelines
• Confidentiality Agreement
• Conflict of Interest Disclosure Form

The EC evaluated the proposals utilizing the evaluation criteria as outlined in the RFP.

Corinthian was deemed non-responsive and therefore eliminated from the review process. Five other firms met the basic requirements of the RFP submissions.

Consensus scores were utilized to compute an “average score,” summarized below:

Evaluation Criteria ASF Bear CEI Sprig Telstar

ASF Electric, Inc., Bear Electrical Solutions, LLC, Cupertino Electric, Inc., and Sprig Electric Co., (each, a “Vendor,” and collectively, the “Vendors”) were all determined to be within the competitive range, and each satisfied the requirements set forth in the RFP.

Stadium Manager negotiated various rates and costs, as applicable, with each Vendor based on their specific cost proposals. This process included securing competitive billable labor rates, as well as percentage markups for materials, equipment rentals, and subcontractors, and Vendor start-up costs. Stadium Manager was able to successfully negotiate these rates with ASF Electric, 4900 Marie P. DeBartolo Way I Santa Clara, CA 95054

Inc., Bear Electrical Solutions, LLC, and Cupertino Electric, Inc. All business, legal, and cost discussions were completed in accordance with Section 15 of the RFP.

Notice of Intended Award:

A notice of intended award (NOIA) was issued on April 1, 2026, announcing Stadium Manager’s recommended Vendors. The RFP process includes a ten-day protest period, which commenced with the issuance of the NOIA. This recommendation is submitted concurrently to facilitate the lead time required to submit our recommendation to the Santa Clara Stadium Authority (SCSA) Board. In the event of a protest, the recommendation will be withdrawn, and the protest addressed.

Submission of Post-Award Submittals:

Once Stadium Manager receives approval from the SCSA Board, the agreements will be executed by all parties, and a copy will be forwarded to the SCSA. Supporting documentation has been provided for review and approval.

The Vendors require the commencement date of the contract in order to obtain the payment bond. Once Stadium Manager receives approval from the Stadium Authority Board, a firm contract commencement date will be finalized, at which time, each vendor will provide the requisite payment bond.

Fiscal Impact:

The cost for the on-call electrical maintenance and repair services is covered in the proposed FY26/27 SCSA Budget, Engineering Department budget, as a shared expense. As a shared expense, the Stadium Authority is responsible for fifty percent (50%) of the cost of the service.

Although the Agreements will be executed with three vendors, the annual not-to-exceed compensation of $250,000 will be calculated on an aggregate basis (not per vendor) each year.

Language in the Agreements allows contractors to negotiate rate increases for contract years four and five (April 1, 2029-March 31, 2031). Many of the labor positions covered by these agreements are unionized and subject to collective bargaining agreements that include built-in wage and fringe benefit escalation provisions set by the Department of Industrial Relations.

To address this, and to ensure consistent service levels across all contract years, a delegation of authority is requested, authorizing the Executive Director to approve contract amendments to adjust the rates for contract years two through five, and to increase the not-to-exceed amounts of the Agreements for contract years two through five by up to five percent (5%) over the prior year’s amounts. Any increase remains subject to available Stadium Authority budget appropriations.

Additionally, a contingency of up to $125,000, equal to ten percent (10%) of the aggregate total not-to-exceed value of the baseline amounts payable under all Agreements over the maximum five (5) year term of the Agreements (i.e., $250,000 per year x 5 years) is requested and may be used as necessary in any contract year to promptly address costs, ensuring business continuity and completion of needed mechanical and plumbing maintenance and repair services at Levi’s 4900 Marie P. DeBartolo Way I Santa Clara, CA 95054

Stadium without disruption. Use of contingency funds is subject to Executive Director approval and appropriation of funds.

These Agreements do not guarantee any minimum amount of work for any Vendor. All services will be performed as needed through task orders issued by the Stadium Manager and within the approved budget.

The chart below summarizes the projected costs over the five-year term of the Agreements, assuming a five percent (5%) rate increase for contract years 2 through 5.

REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Action on a Resolution (1) Calling and Giving Notice of a Special Municipal Election to be Held on November 3, 2026 in Conjunction with the City’s General Municipal Election for a Vote on Two Ballot Measures that, if Passed, Would Amend the City Charter as Follows: (a) Implement a Comprehensive Update of the City Charter; and (b) Update the City’s Public Works Procurement; (2) Requesting the Consolidation of Such Election with the Statewide General Election to be Held in Santa Clara County on November 3, 2026; (3) Directing the Office of the City Attorney to Prepare the Impartial Analyses for the Two Measures; and (4) Setting the Priorities and Schedule for Ballot Arguments; and Authorizing Other Necessary and Appropriate Actions

BACKGROUND
Charter Project Origins and Purpose
Upon a recommendation from professional staff, the idea for a comprehensive review and update of the City Charter (now commonly referred to as the “Charter Project”) was incorporated into the Governance and Ethics Committee Work Plan in early 2025. Staff’s recommendation was based upon their professional assessment, along with feedback from the different departments responsible for implementing the Charter’s terms, that a number of Charter provisions were ambiguous, out of date, not aligned with current City operations or best practices, and/or not aligned with current laws.

With support from the Committee, the project concept was presented to the full City Council on July 15, 2025. Recognizing the potential benefits of the project, the Council directed staff to take the initial steps to form a Charter Review Committee for purposes of implementing the “Charter Project” (the Charter Project CRC). Council direction included terms for the CRC’s composition, selection process and purposes. Staff advertised the availability of CRC positions and, with the City Clerk, implemented the CRC lottery selection and appointment process. On September 16, 2025, the City Council appointed the CRC members and formally established the CRC by adoption of the CRC Bylaws.

Section 2 of the City Council adopted Bylaws for the Charter Project CRC describes its purpose as follows:
“The purpose of the CRC is to work with City staff, with input from the community, to facilitate the implementation of the “Charter Project.” The Charter Project involves a process for comprehensive review of the City Charter to identify provisions in the Charter that should be corrected, clarified or modified for the Charter to be fully consistent with applicable state law, aligned with current best practices for City operations and, in general, easier to understand and apply. At the end of the process, the objective of the Charter Project is to produce a draft comprehensive Charter Amendment for presentation to the City Council and, if the City Council so directs, possibly the voters at the November 2026 Election.” City of Santa Clara Printed on 7/10/2026Page 1 of 11

26-784 Agenda Date: 7/14/2026
Section 3 of the Bylaws sets forth a list of the CRC’s duties. An excerpt from Section 3.4 provides further detail on the project’s focus and describes the CRC’s ultimate duty as follows:
“The proposed “top to bottom” review process is intended to be driven by practical and legal considerations, with the prime objective being to bring the Charter up to current “best practices” for City operations. It is not intended to implement any major restructuring of City operations or to change the City’s election process. In the end, it will be up to the Charter Review Committee to recommend, and the City Council to decide which, if any, of the proposed changes will be presented to the voters as part a comprehensive update to the City Charter.”
CRC Project Implementation
To implement the Charter Project, over a nine month period starting in October of 2025, the CRC met in public (10 times), and in Ad Hoc Subcommittee working groups (28 times) to (1) hear from stakeholders regarding proposed Charter changes, (2) discuss and resolve issues regarding what changes made sense as part of the project versus what issues might better be implemented by Council policy or a future Charter update, (3) review proposed language prepared by the City Attorney’s Office to implement approved changes, and (4) ultimately, develop a formal recommendation for Council consideration. On April 7, 2026, the CRC also checked in with the City Council with a progress report. That report included a presentation of the CRC’s proposed comprehensive reorganization of the Charter to make it more user-friendly.

After a series of meetings in May, the full CRC met again on June 3rd. At the June 3rd meeting, the CRC considered all of its previous actions, made a few minor modifications to the proposed language, and approved (unanimously) the CRC’s Charter update recommendation. At that meeting, City staff also presented on the status of the CRC’s pending final written report (“CRC Final Report”).

As outlined and approved by CRC consensus at their May 27th meeting, the CRC Final Report was designed to summarize the Charter Project implementation process, from its origins, through its meeting-by-meeting development, to its final results and recommendation. At its June 3rd meeting, the CRC also formed a five-person CRC Presentation Ad Hoc Subcommittee to assist staff with the finalization and presentation to Council of the CRC Final Report.

CRC Final Report and Recommendation
The CRC Final Report contains the following information:

1. Charter Project Origins and Objectives. A description of the origins and objectives of the Charter Project.

2. The Process. A summary of the process and approach used to implement the Charter Project.

This includes details on: (a) the creation and function of the six CRC Ad Hoc Subcommittee “working groups;” (b) the solicitation and provision of stakeholder input; (c) benchmarking with other “comparable” charters and charter update projects; and (d) the categorization of proposed changes into “levels.”

3. The Results. A summary of the proposed changes resulting from this process. Changes City of Santa Clara Printed on 7/10/2026Page 2 of 11
powered by Legistar™
26-784 Agenda Date: 7/14/2026
presented include Charter-wide updates and conventions, along with the Article by Article, Section by Section changes, ranging from mere corrections, wording updates and reorganization (“Level One”), changes to clarify ambiguities, deletion of no longer needed provisions, added language to fill gaps or align Charter language with current City/best practices (“Level Two”), all the way to changes that are recommended, but may be so substantive or in such sensitive areas, they might be better presented as stand-alone ballot measures or left out entirely (“Level Three”).

4. The Final Recommendation. The CRC’s final recommendation on what the City Council should consider placing on the November 2026 ballot. In summary, the CRC’s recommendation was for City Council to:
a. Proceed with the Comprehensive Update for Consideration by Voters at the November 2026 Election.
b. Include all Level One and Level Two Changes, and such Level Three Changes Council feels confident will be supported by the community.
c. Provide for a public information program to include (1) annotated “clean” and underline/strikeout versions of the updated Charter, and FAQs on the City’s website; (2) information mailers to be distributed to voters (similar to Measure I); and (3) public forums (with CRC support) to share information and respond to questions/concerns.

5. Next Steps. Steps required if the Council decides to place a measure on the ballot, including things that could be done to help inform voters and, if the measure(s) were to pass, actions that would need to be taken to implement the approved Charter amendments.

City Council June 9th Study Session
At the City Council’s June 9th meeting, the CRC Final Report was distributed to Council, and the City Attorney presented on the project in a study session format. Members of the CRC Presentation Ad Hoc Subcommittee attended this meeting and were on standby to answer Council questions. The materials provided along with the Final Report included:

1. Charter Review Committee Bylaws

2. The City Charter-Current

3. An Assembled History of Previously Proposed and Approved Charter Amendments (1952 through 2024)

4. City Charter with Proposed Modifications-Underline/Strikeout Version with Annotations

5. City Charter with Proposed Modifications-Clean Version (Changes Accepted) with Annotations

6. Charter Review Committee Charter Project 2026 Final Report to Council (CRC Final Report) · To facilitate the City Council’s review and understanding of the CRC’s proposed substantial update, it was noted that the updated Charter documents presented contain (and in the underline/strikeout version, highlight) every proposed CRC modification. They also contain, throughout, annotations in the margins. These annotations include references to primary City of Santa Clara Printed on 7/10/2026Page 3 of 11
powered by Legistar™
26-784 Agenda Date: 7/14/2026
source materials, applicable laws, and the stakeholder input considered by the CRC in proposing these changes. For the more substantive proposed changes, or proposed changes in politically sensitive areas, many annotations also include summaries of the CRC’s thought process that went into the development and ultimate recommendation for each proposed modification. Where any proposed CRC modification rose to Level 3, this is also noted. For those looking for the deepest dive into the proposal, it was recommended that reference be made to the underline/strikeout version of the proposal, with particular attention to the comments included in the margins.

At the end of the allotted study session time period, with additional information still to be presented, it was agreed that the City Attorney would complete the presentation at a scheduled June 15th special session. Council questions and input, along with public testimony, would then again be solicited, with an opportunity for the Council to deliberate and provide further direction to the CRC and staff.

City Council June 15th Special Meeting
At the City Council’s June 15th meeting, as contemplated, the City Attorney completed his presentation of the CRC Final Report. The presentation included a detailed summary of all remaining proposed changes, the CRC’s ultimate recommendation, and other factors to consider (e.g., election costs, what goes before the voters, the need for public education and additional work required if any measure were to pass). Members of the CRC were again in attendance to provide support and answer questions.

After an extensive question and answer segment, the receipt of public testimony and Council deliberations, Council directed staff to:

1. Finalize and bring back for Council action a Charter update ballot measure to include all proposed “Level One” and “Level Two” changes; and

2. Bring back for further Council discussion and action the CRC’s recommendation for updating the Charter’s provisions regarding the Public Works procurement rules.

City Council July 7th Meeting
At the Council’s July 7th meeting, staff’s presentation included a recap of the Charter Project implementation process to date, a summary of the Supplemental Information Memorandum sent to Council on July 1, 2026 and, per Council direction at its June 15th meeting, a deeper dive into the CRC recommendation for an update to the City Charter’s outdated Public Works procurement rules.

The Supplemental Information Memorandum was prepared at the direction of the CRC given at their meeting held on June 17th. It contained further explanation of the CRC’s use of “levels” of proposed changes to develop and present their ultimate Charter Project recommendation, along with a summary of proposed updated changes to the Charter based upon further CRC/staff review, completion of the meet and confer process with labor groups regarding proposed updates to civil service provisions, and input from bond counsel on provisions relating to the process for issuing revenue bonds to finance utility infrastructure. All such changes were highlighted in (attached) updated versions of the Charter documents, presented in both underline/strikeout and clean formats.

Both versions contained updated annotations that further explained each proposed Charter City of Santa Clara Printed on 7/10/2026Page 4 of 11
powered by Legistar™
26-784 Agenda Date: 7/14/2026
modification and identified, on a section-by-section basis, the “Level” of the proposed modifications.

To facilitate review, the assigned Levels within the annotations were color coded as follows: Level One in green, Level Two in blue, and potential Level Three modifications in yellow.

The additional information presented on the CRC’s proposal to update the Charter’s public works provisions included a detailed summary of benchmarking relative to the public works procurement rules used by 19 “comparable” Charter cities. These were the same 19 cities that had been identified and used since the beginning of the Charter Project process for general benchmarking purposes.

Regarding the availability of alternative “best value” public works procurement mechanisms-currently not permitted under the Santa Clara City Charter-it was determined that 17 of the 19 cities allowed the use of such alternatives, with one of the two that didn’t allow such use (Sunnyvale) in the process of proposing a Charter update of their own on the November 2026 ballot to allow it. Regarding the dollar level thresholds for Council approval of contracts, use of City forces, and the requirement for formal bidding, again the vast majority included no Charter specified dollar threshold, instead deferring to state law or implementation by city council ordinance. Santa Clara’s current threshold for these actions is $1,000.

Additional information was also provided regarding the potential benefits of “best value” procurement mechanisms, along with potential risks and commonly used mitigation measures to address those risks. The primary point was that the “best value” public works procurement process is still a competitive process and is one already commonly used by the City in other contract procurement contexts. Chris Karwick, SVP Chief Operating Officer, and Craig Mobeck, Public Works Director, also presented on their support for “best value” procurement as a good option for a number of the more complex projects that will need to be implemented in the City’s near future.

After another round of questions, receipt of public input and Council deliberations, Council took the following actions:

1. Proceed with finalization of the comprehensive “level one” and “level two” Charter amendment measure for City Council final action, including deletion of old Charter Section 714 regarding real estate disposition, and the other updates presented, but reserving for further discussion the proposed update to the revenue bond procedures; and

2. Proceed with the finalization of the proposed public works update (Option A) for City Council final action as a stand-alone measure.

DISCUSSION
The two proposed ballot measures before the City Council are the product of a process first conceived in May 2025 by the Governance and Ethics Committee, formally initiated by City Council in September 2025, and implemented by the Council-formed CRC and professional City staff over nine months beginning in October2025. Both measures would amend the City Charter. The first proposed measure is a comprehensive update of the City Charter. The second proposed measure updates the Charter’s public works procurement provisions.

Comprehensive Charter Update Measure
The comprehensive Charter update proposal recommends amendments throughout the existing Charter. Proposed changes include “Level One” and “Level Two” amendments characterized as follows:

City of Santa Clara Printed on 7/10/2026Page 5 of 11
powered by Legistar™
26-784 Agenda Date: 7/14/2026
Level One
Changes in form and appearance that are not substantive. Includes corrections, rewording for clarity, reorganization, elimination of redundancies, consistency of cross-references and numbering, consolidation of sections, elimination of headings for previously deleted sections, rewording of headings to better reflect content, addition of subheadings, defined terms, and other Charter-wide conventions to improve comprehension and usability.

Level Two
Rewordings, deletions and additions intended to add clarity, fill gaps, eliminate ambiguities, replace outdated (no longer used) practices with current “best” practices, and provide consistency with state law. Some changes are “substantive” but are not thought to be that significant or made in sensitive areas so as to warrant consideration as possible separate ballot measures.

Level Three Changes Excluded
A number of “Level Three” changes were also considered and recommended by the CRC. Level Three changes are those updated policies or procedures that may be considered “best practices” or are otherwise viewed as desirable, and that the CRC recommends, but either involve political sensitivity, or are of such independent significance, they may justify consideration as separate ballot measures. Potential Level Three measures that had been part of the CRC recommendation include:
(1) Modifications to Measure R to allow “secondary uses” of park property provided no adverse impact, five affirmative votes of the City Council, and all revenues for park purposes; (2) deletion of published notice and public bid opportunity on sale of City property above $500; (3) Chief of Police increased qualifications (lieutenant for two years) and duties (head of the department; duty to advise the City Council and City Manager on law enforcement/public safety issues); (4) Public Works procurement update to be implemented by ordinance with alternative procurement mechanisms allowed; and (5) Civil Service Rules changes not approved by labor groups as part of the meet and confer process.

With the exception of the public works update (proposed as a stand-alone measure and described below), and the deletion of the real estate published notice/bid requirement (determined to be a Level Two change), the City Council direction for the comprehensive update measure excluded the above- described Level Three amendments. Accordingly, all such Level Three amendments have now been excluded from the proposed comprehensive Charter amendment update.

Additional Changes Since the Presentation of the CRC Final Report The vast majority of the proposed comprehensive Charter amendments are summarized in the CRC Final Report (Attachment 1) and are presented explicitly in the draft Charter documents dated June 5, 2026, attached to the Final Report. A few additional changes made since the June 5, 2026 draft are presented in the updated draft Charter documents attached to this report (Attachments 2 and 3).

These changes were presented to Council at the July 7th Council meeting. Such changes include:
• Added reference to a policy for recusal for City Council members (Section 205.1(7)) • Updated reference to most recent redistricting map as “baseline” for District elections (Section 303.1)
• Reinsertion of reference to 72/24-hour notice requirements for Regular/Special Meetings (Section 401.4)
• Reversion to language for City Engineer to be appointed by the City Manager, but now in City of Santa Clara Printed on 7/10/2026Page 6 of 11
powered by Legistar™
26-784 Agenda Date: 7/14/2026
consultation with the Public Works Director (Section 502.2) • Reversion to minor (but useful) “clean up” changes to Civil Service Sections in light of inability to reach agreement on more substantive changes with labor groups (new Sections 604.3 and Article Seven)
Revenue Bond Language Update
Another more substantive change presented to Council at the July 7th Council meeting was a proposed refinement of proposed language regarding revenue bond financing for utility infrastructure.

After consultation with bond counsel, it is proposed that revisions be made to provisions for the issuance of revenue bonds to finance utility infrastructure. These changes are presented in new Section 805.6.

They replace what bond counsel and City staff consider to be outdated language set forth in existing Charter Section 1321. The language in new Section 805.6 is consistent with current/best practices for utility infrastructure financing. It would allow the City to issue revenue bonds to finance utility infrastructure pursuant to a City Council resolution, without the requirement for voter approval.

The rationale for this is that revenue bond debt is not like general fund debt that relies on new taxes for repayment. Under state law, that type of general obligation bond debt requires voter approval.

Instead, repayment of utility revenue bond debt is secured solely by a pledge of actually received utility enterprise revenues. Many other Charter cities including Sunnyvale, San Diego, Los Angeles, Hayward, Oakland, Pasadena, Redwood City, Sacramento, and San Francisco have similar provisions in their charters.

The deleted provisions regarding revenue bond financing are considered to be outdated and restrictive in ways that go beyond current state law limitations and best practices that have evolved over time. Although in the interim, the City has been able to finance utility infrastructure using debt financing without voter approval (for example, using certificates of participation), this finance mechanism is more cumbersome and costly.

Another important factor is that the existing Charter already allows for the issuance of revenue bonds without a vote of the people to finance infrastructure for the City’s electric utility, Silicon Valley Power.

It’s only the City’s water and sewer utilities that are limited by the requirement for a public vote for revenue bond financing. There is no discernable reason to keep this limitation in place under these circumstances.

In light of the above, outside bond counsel and the City’s finance team strongly recommend that the existing provisions for revenue bond financing be replaced with the provisions and guidelines set forth in new Section 805.6.

Ballot Question
The proposed ballot question for the Comprehensive Charter Update Measures is set forth below.

This measure has been reviewed and reflects input from the City’s political consultant Jared Boigon from TeamCivX. (Mr. Boigon and Team CivX also advised the City in connection with Measure I.) The proposed draft meets all Elections Code legal requirements, including the 75-word limit.

COMPREHENSIVE CHARTER AMENDMENT. Shall the measure proposing a comprehensive update to the City Charter to eliminate outdated provisions, clarify ambiguous terms, reorganize and reformat to improve usability, and update provisions to align with current/best practices, including new and updated provisions for defining and filling vacancies in elected/appointed positions, modernizing elected and appointed officials roles and duties, requirements for approval of laws, budget implementation, financing options, legal notice, and other similar enhancements to City operations and procedures, be adopted? Yes
No

No
Public Works Procurement Update
The City’s current Charter Section 1310 governing public works procurement is highly outdated.

Under this Section, City Council approval and formal bidding is required for any public works contract valued at more than $1,000. Similarly, Council approval is required to use City forces for any public work valued at over $1,000. (By contrast, the threshold for Council approval of non-public works contracts is $250,000.) Implementing these requirements for public works consumes a substantial amount of time and staff resources, with no comparable public benefit. Further, under existing Charter language, there is no provision that allows the City to use alternative “best value” public works procurement mechanisms (for example, design-build). For substantial public works, especially those with highly technical design elements, design-build and related “best value” procurement mechanisms can add substantial value by shortening project delivery timeframes, enhancing project quality, managing project costs, and reducing change order risks. Accordingly, such measures are used throughout the state by both charter cities and general law cities alike. A number of upcoming City projects (SVP infrastructure and Measure I Projects like Fire Station rebuilds and the International Swim Center) have already been identified as good candidates for this type of approach.

In consideration of the above, the CRC and City professional staff are highly supportive of the proposed update to the Charter that would eliminate the outdated City Council approval/formal bid dollar thresholds and allow for the use of “best value” public works procurement mechanisms.

The proposed update to old Charter Section 1310 is contained in new Charter Section 802.2 (Option A). In summary the proposed change replaces the existing Charter language with the outline of an ordinance containing the following provisions:

1. Definition of “major” versus “minor” contracts with major contracts approved by Council

2. Competitive bid processes for all contracts, with formal advertisement for bids and sealed bids required for all “major” contracts

3. Contracts awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder unless exception

4. Ability to reject, re-advertise or waive minor defects if determined necessary or appropriate for the benefit of the public

5. Emergency authority to waive the applicable competitive bid process requirements

6. Provision to implement Public Works using City employees upon determination that the work can be performed better or more economically by City employees;

7. Exceptions for maintenance, repair, restoration, minor improvements, equipment installation/acquisition but still subject to other competitive procurement standards City of Santa Clara Printed on 7/10/2026Page 8 of 11

8. Alternative mechanisms including “sole source” and “best value” if appropriate findings are made, with standards for selection, and as part of City-wide program.

Ballot Question
The proposed ballot question for the Public Works Update Measures is set forth below. This measure has also been reviewed and reflects input from the City’s political consultant Jared Boigon from TeamCivX. The draft meets all Elections Code legal requirements, including the 75-word limit.

PUBLIC WORKS CHARTER AMENDMENT. Shall the measure proposing to amend the City Charter to update rules for the construction of public works to allow for competitive “best value” contracting to improve project quality, expedite needed project completion, and minimize risks, retaining City Council authority to approve major contracts, require formal bidding and award contracts to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, all as set forth in a City ordinance presented and approved at a public meeting, be adopted? Yes
No
Staff Recommendation/Next Steps
Consistent with the recommendation of the CRC to the City Council, and previous City Council direction, staff recommends that the City Council take action, through the adoption of the attached Resolution to place two measures on the November 2026 ballot that would amend the City Charter as follows: (1) Implement a Comprehensive Update of the City Charter; and (2) Update the City’s Public Works Procurement Rules as Currently Set Forth in Charter Section 1310 (Contracts on public works).

Related/required actions in the proposed Resolution include the following:
· Request the Consolidation of the Municipal Election with the Statewide General Election to be Held in Santa Clara County on November 3, 2026;
· Direct the City Attorney to Prepare the Impartial Analyses for the Two Measures; and · Setting Priorities and Schedules for the Ballot Arguments Attached to the Resolution is the actual language for the proposed Charter Amendments. The Resolution includes a provision which would allow the City Clerk and the City Attorney, in concurrence, to make non-substantive changes where such changes are administrative modifications that correct or clarify a measure without altering intent, scope, legal or mandatory requirements, or meaning. The City Attorney and the City Clerk’s Office will work together to ensure the ballot measure (s) the Council takes final action to present to voters are accurate and in final form to be provided to the County Registrar of Voters by August 7, 2026. All and any such changes would be presented to the Council for ratification before the November 2026 election.

Ballot Arguments and Impartial Analysis
The City Council determines whether the Council, or specific members authorized by the full Council, will draft the argument supporting the ballot measure, or whether it will instead allow a third party to do so. The City Charter and the California Elections Code authorize, but do not require, the City Council to write the argument in support of the ballot measure.

If the City Council chooses to write the ballot argument, it should designate a maximum of three Council Members to draft City of Santa Clara Printed on 7/10/2026Page 9 of 11

the argument. Under the circumstances, it would also be appropriate to consider one or more members of the CRC to be included as part of the drafting team. These designees would prepare and sign the argument and submit it to the City Clerk. Alternatively, the Council can designate the Mayor to sign on behalf of the entire Council. A total of five individuals and/or organizations may sign the ballot argument, and the Council may designate which individuals or organizations fill any available signature slots.

If the City Council decides not to draft the argument itself, any registered voter or bona fide association of citizens may submit a proposed argument to the City Clerk. If the City Clerk receives multiple proposed arguments, the City Clerk shall select one of the arguments in adherence to Elections Code § 9287. Ballot arguments must be submitted no later than July 28th to the City Clerk and rebuttal arguments must be submitted no later than August 7th to the City Clerk. If the City Council so directs, the City Attorney shall draft an impartial analysis on the measure, which is also due on August 7th to the City Clerk.

Voter Education and Outreach
In order to provide information to voters as they consider the proposed ballot measures to be placed on the November 3, 2026 ballot, a Communications Outreach plan will be created. This plan will utilize the many public outreach channels available to the City and accessible by Santa Clara residents. That plan will be prepared and brought back for Council action. The plan is expected to include the following elements:
· City website and e-Notify
· Social Media (Facebook, Twitter, NextDoor)
· Government Access Channels
· Press Release
· Publication of ad in local and ethnic media outlets
· Postcard mailers to all Santa Clara residents
· Flyer distribution to City facilities
· Flyer email distribution to constituent database and community leaders/groups · Utility bill inserts
· Public Forums, with support from CRC members and professional staff · Translation of materials in eight languages including, Chinese, Hindi, Korean, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish, Tagalog and Vietnamese

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) in that it is a governmental organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect changes in the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT
Staff time and resources will be needed to finalize materials for placement on the November ballot. As of July 7, 2026, the ROV’s estimated cost for placement of two measures on the ballot, not to exceed six pages each, is $139,058 per measure, for a total estimated cost of $278,116. Combined with the estimated costs for the elections of the Mayor ($308,279) and Council District Seats 2 and 3 (combined, $31,568), the current total estimated cost for the November election is $617,963. The City Clerk’s election budget currently includes $574,824. Consistent with past practices, no budget action is required at this time. Once the actual bill from the ROV is submitted, and the City Clerk’s budget is reconciled, if additional funding is needed, the Director of Finance would bring back any required budget adjustment along with other adjustments needed at that time.

If a measure passes, additional staff time and resources would also be necessary to implement the Charter section reference changes throughout existing City documents that reference the Charter, and to prepare any contemplated ordinances or policies. Ultimately, it is expected that the modernized terms of any approved comprehensive Charter update will result in net savings to the City in staff time and resources.

COORDINATION
This report has been prepared by the City Attorney’s Office with input from the City Clerk’s Office and coordinated with the City Manager’s Office and f Finance Department.
