CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:

DATE: March 25, 2025
SUBJECT: STATE LEGISLATION: AB 271, AB 875, AB 1022, SB 264, and SB 265
DEPARTMENT: City Manager's Office
PRESENTER: Masis Hagobian

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Support AB 271 (Hoover), AB 875 (Muratsuchi), SB 264 (Valladares), and SB 265 (Valladares).

2. Oppose AB 1022 (Kalra).

3. Transmit position statements to the authors of the bills, Santa Clarita’s state legislative delegation, appropriate legislative committees, Governor Newsom, and other stakeholder organizations.

BACKGROUND

The following state legislative items were presented to the City Council Legislative Committee on March 5, 2025. Included as part of this report is a brief summary of each piece of legislation and its current status in the state legislative process. The state legislative items in this report are related to public safety, specifically, crimes committed during emergencies and traffic safety.

Crimes Committed During Emergencies

During and following the Palisades and Eaton Fires, there were several reports of looting of homes that were affected by the wildfires. To a lesser degree, reports of individuals impersonating firefighters were also made, as some looters attempted to gain access to homes by disguising themselves as first responders.

Under existing California law, looting is punishable as a misdemeanor or felony, depending on 3 Packet Pg. 18

Page 2 ends

the crime’s severity. Additionally, impersonating a peace officer, firefighter, or government employee is currently a misdemeanor, resulting in a 90-day sentence in a county jail.

The following three bills make changes related to looting or impersonating a first responder during an emergency or evacuation order.

Assembly Bill 271

Introduced by Assembly Member Josh Hoover (R-7-Folsom), Assembly Bill 271 makes burglary within an area under a county or local state of emergency or an evacuation order, also known as looting, punishable as a felony. Additionally, this legislation imposes a two-year sentence enhancement for those who impersonate a government employee or first responder during the act of looting.

Senate Bill 264

Introduced by Senator Suzette Valladares (R-23-Santa Clarita), Senate Bill 264 makes impersonating a first responder or member of the Office of the State Fire Marshal during a state of emergency or local emergency punishable as either a misdemeanor or a felony, giving law enforcement agencies and local prosecutorial officials the discretion to pursue charges greater than a misdemeanor.

Senate Bill 265

Introduced by Senator Suzette Valladares (R-23-Santa Clarita), Senate Bill 265 makes burglary within an area under a county or local state of emergency or an evacuation order, also known as looting, punishable as a felony.

Traffic Safety

Assembly Bill 875

Introduced by Assembly Member Al Muratsuchi (D-66-Torrance), Assembly Bill 875 authorizes law enforcement officers to impound an electric bicycle operating on a public street if it exceeds the legally permitted speed for electric bicycles, including those with motors capable of propelling the bicycle beyond 20 mph without pedaling. This bill would also authorize law enforcement officers to remove a bicycle operated by a person who (1) is under 16 years of age and is operating a Class III electric bicycle or (2) is operating a Class III electric bicycle without a helmet.

Current State law categorizes electric bicycles into three classifications:

• Class I: Pedal-assist electric bicycle with a max speed of 20 mph that does not have a throttle or a minimum age requirement;
• Class II: Pedal-assist electric bicycle with a max speed of 20 mph that has a throttle- powered motor, also with no age requirement;
• Class III: Pedal-assist electric bicycle with a max speed of 28 mph that does not have a 3 Packet Pg. 19

Page 3 ends

throttle but has a minimum age requirement of 16 years of age.

Often mistaken for an electric bicycle, another vehicle that is rapidly growing in popularity is electric motorcycles, often with a maximum speed ranging from 45 mph - 65 mph, equipped with throttle-powered motors, and typically do not come with pedals. Current State law prohibits the use of electric motorcycles on sidewalks, bike paths or paseos, bike lanes, or any off-street parking facilities.

California Vehicle Code Section 312.5 defines an electric bicycle as: (a) An “electric bicycle” is a bicycle equipped with fully operable pedals and an electric motor of less than 750 watts.

Due to the motors on electric motorcycles exceeding the 750-watt limit, electric motorcycles cannot be legally modified to be used on sidewalks, bike paths or paseos, bike lanes, or off-street parking facilities.

In order to operate an electric motorcycle on public streets, the vehicle must be outfitted with turn signals and the user must possess an M1 Drivers License and have the vehicle registered and insured. The user must also wear a helmet while operating an electric motorcycle.

Although bicycle involved collisions in the City of Santa Clarita (City) have remained relatively consistent in the last three years, bicycle collisions involving electric bicycles and electric motorcycles has increased from 31 percent of all bicycle involved collisions in 2022 to 41 percent of all bicycle involved collisions in 2024. As these vehicles are growing in popularity, predominantly among youth, data reflects that those under the age of 18 are more likely to be involved in a collision using an electric bicycle or electric motorcycle than when using a traditional bicycle with no motor.

Moreover, given the ability to accelerate at a more rapid rate and reach higher speeds, collisions resulting in severe injury or fatality was higher among electric bicycles or electric motorcycles than traditional non-motorized bicycles in the last three years. The City has had two recent fatalities involving youth riding electric bicycles or electric motorcycles, a 17-year old who collided with the side of a truck in October 2023, and most recently, a 14-year old who collided head-on with a vehicle in January 2025.

Assembly Bill 1022

Introduced by Assembly Member Ash Kalra (D-25-San Jose), Assembly Bill 1022 prohibits a law enforcement officer or parking enforcement officer from having a vehicle impounded or immobilized due to having five or more unpaid parking citations.

Current State law authorizes a law enforcement officer or parking enforcement officer to impound or immobilize a vehicle if it has five or more unpaid parking or traffic citations. The City’s Parking Enforcement administers state and City vehicle regulations, including the impounding of vehicles that have five or more unpaid parking or traffic citations.

Local parking regulations help maintain traffic flow and enhance public safety. They complement the City’s commitment to promote a safe environment for residents, businesses, and visitors. Parking Enforcement Officers patrol City streets and parking lots, and primarily respond 3 Packet Pg. 20

Page 4 ends

to reports from residents. They also identify stolen, abandoned, inoperative, and unregistered vehicles on public streets.

Additionally, the City imposes parking requirements to ensure adequate and reasonable access to homes. These standards serve as a safeguard to prevent congestion of on-street vehicle parking that may cause unsafe conditions for surrounding residents and businesses and access challenges for emergency personnel, especially in the event of an emergency or evacuation.

Assembly Bill 1022 preempts the City’s ability to maintain safe and accessible streets and opposing this legislation is consistent in safeguarding the City’s efforts with regard to parking enforcement.

All five bills listed in this report are pending a hearing in their first policy committee or an assignment to a policy committee, at the time this report was developed.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

Other action, as provided by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

The resources required to implement the recommended action are contained within the City of Santa Clarita's adopted Fiscal Year 2024-25 budget.

January 21, 2025
An act to amend Section 463 of the Penal Code, relating to crimes. legislative counsel’s digest
AB 271, as introduced, Hoover. Crimes: looting.

Existing law defines the crime of burglary, which consists of entering specified buildings, places, or vehicles with the intent to commit grand or petty theft or a felon y. Existing la w defines b urglary of the first degree as any burglary of an inhabited building and makes burglary of the first degree punishable by imprisonment in the state prison for 2, 4, or 6 years. Existing law defines all other burglary as burglary of the 2nd degree and makes it punishable by imprisonment in the county jail for one year or as a felon y. Existing la w makes the theft of mone y, labor, or property petty theft punishable as a misdemeanor , whenever the value of the property tak en does not e xceed $950. Under e xisting law, if the value of the property taken exceeds $950, the theft is grand theft, punishable as a misdemeanor or a felony.

Existing law defines any 2nd-degree burglary or grand theft, during and within an af fected county in a state of emer gency or local emergency, as specified, as looting, punishable by either imprisonment in a county jail for one year or as a felon y. Existing law makes petty theft committed during and within an af fected county in a state of emergency or local emergency a misdemeanor and requires a minimum jail term of 90 days.

Attachment: Assembly Bill 271 - Bill Text (State Legislation: AB 271, AB 875, AB 1022, SB 264, and SB 265) Existing la w prohibits credibly impersonating a peace officer , firefighter, or emplo yee of a state or local go vernment agency, or a search and rescue team, as specified. A violation of these prohibitions is punishable as a misdemeanor.

This bill would make looting by the means of a 2nd-degree burglary or grand theft punishable instead as a felon y. The bill would define a petty theft committed during and within an af fected county in a state of emergency or local emergency as looting and make it punishable by imprisonment in the county jail for one year or as a felon y. The bill would require any person who in the course of committing or attempting to commit the crime of looting impersonated a peace officer, firefighter, or employee of a state or local go vernment agency, or a search and rescue team, subject to a penalty enhancement. By increasing the punishment of a crime, this bill w ould impose a state-mandated local program.

The California Constitution requires the state to reimb urse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.

Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

Existing law similarly authorizes a peace officer , as defined, or a regularly employed and salaried employee, who is engaged in directing traffic or enforcing parking la ws and regulations, of a city, county, or jurisdiction of a state agenc y in which a v ehicle is located, to remo ve a vehicle from an off-street parking facility located within the territorial limits in which the officer or emplo yee may act, when the v ehicle is known to have been issued 5 or more notices of parking violation over a period of 5 or more days, to which the owner or person in control of the vehicle has not responded or when an y vehicle is illegally parked so as to prevent the movement of a legally parked vehicle. Existing law authorizes the v ehicle to be impounded until the o wner or person in control of the v ehicle furnishes to the impounding la w enforcement agency evidence of their identity and an address within this state at which they can be located and furnishes satisfactory evidence that bail has been deposited for all notices of parking violation issued for the vehicle.

The bill would also delete the impounding provisions described above.

(Coauthors: Senators Allen, Alvarado-Gil, Choi, Dahle, Grove, Hurtado, Jones, Niello, Ochoa Bogh, Seyarto, and Stern) (Coauthors: Assembly Members Alanis, Chen, Davies, Hadwick, Sanchez, and Wallis)
February 3, 2025
An act to amend Sections 538d and 538e of the Penal Code, relating to crimes.
legislative counsel’s digest
SB 264, as introduced, Valladares. Impersonation of a peace officer or firefighter during a state of emergency or local emergency.

Existing law, the California Emergency Services Act, authorizes the Governor to proclaim a state of emergency, as defined, under specified circumstances. Existing law makes it a misdemeanor to impersonate a peace officer or an officer or member of a fire department or the Office of the State Fire Marshal.

This bill would make impersonating a peace officer or an officer or member of a fire department or the Office of the State Fire Marshal during a state of emergency or local emergency punishable as either a misdemeanor or a felon y, as specified. By increasing the punishment of a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

The California Constitution requires the state to reimb urse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.

Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes.

5. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all contracts and associated documents, subject to City Attorney approval.

BACKGROUND
As part of the Conditions of Approval for the Vista Canyon project that was approved in April 2011, the City of Santa Clarita (City) required the developer to construct the Vista Canyon Water Factory (Water Factory) and oversee operations until the City assumed full ownership. The 4 Packet Pg. 62

Page 2 ends

Water Factory was completed in 2020, has a capacity of 392,135 gallons per day (equivalent to 439.2 acre-feet per year) and can produce approximately 371,000 gallons per day (equivalent to 415.5 acre-feet per year) of recycled water.

On April 1, 2024, the City officially began overseeing operations and maintenance of the Water Factory. As part of the City’s ongoing effort to enhance water resources in our region, as of August 21, 2024, the Water Factory officially began selling recycled water to the Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency. The operations and maintenance expenses associated with the site are funded through the Wastewater Assessment Fund (Fund 368), and revenue generated by the sale of recycled water.

To ensure the City remains in compliance with the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board’s (LARWQCB) Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR), Water Reclamation Requirements (WRR), and Monitoring and Reporting Program (MRP) for the Water Factory (Order No. R4-2020-0049, MRP No. Cl-10041), adopted on April 16, 2020, the City must monitor and report the potential impacts of landscape irrigation and non-potable recycled water applications using Water Factory effluent. The required monitoring includes continuous, daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual monitoring of the Water Factory influent, effluent, groundwater, effluent storage tank, and water supply. Quarterly and annual reports are required to describe monitoring actions, summarize monitoring data, analyze trends, and discuss results, compliance, and corrective actions.

The City conducted a Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit proposals from qualified consulting firms to perform water testing services in compliance with the LARWQCB’s WDR and WRR for the Water Factory. The RFP was published and circulated via the City’s e-procurement system BidNet on December 27, 2024. The City transmitted the solicitation to 1,276 vendors on BidNet, of which 57 vendors downloaded the RFP. Two companies provided proposals for consideration.

These proposals were reviewed and evaluated based on each company’s ability to meet the specific needs of the City.

An evaluation panel comprised of staff from Neighborhood Services, scored the responses using the following categories of weighted criteria:
• Contractor Qualifications, Scope of Work, Program Management (15%) • Experience (20%)
• Thoroughness of Proposal (20%)
• Cost (15%)
• Successful Completion of Projects (15%)
• Ability to Modify Programming (15%)

The evaluation team scored the responses based on a 100-point system, with the results outlined below:

Rank Company Location Cost Score 1 Geosyntec Consultants, Inc. San Diego, CA $482,822 96.34 2 Rick Engineering Company San Diego, CA $353,400 77.34 4 Packet Pg. 63

Page 3 ends

In reviewing proposals, the evaluation team awarded the highest score to Geosyntec Consultants, Inc. (Geosyntec). The evaluation team determined that Geosyntec’s proposal offered the best overall value to meet the LARWQCB’s WDR and WRR for the Water Factory. Additionally, Geosyntec received a higher score based on the comprehensive scope and detailed expense breakdown.

City staff completed a due diligence review of Geosyntec’s professional references and determined its work history meets the City’s standards and performance expectations. Based on the above, staff recommends awarding a three-year contract to Geosyntec.

COMPACTOR UNITS
DEPARTMENT: Neighborhood Services
PRESENTER: Darin Seegmiller

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all documents subject to City Attorney approval.

BACKGROUND

The City of Santa Clarita (City) installed the first Big Belly Solar Recycling Units (Big Belly) in 2010. These locked and secure units collect aluminum, plastic, and glass beverage containers in public locations and eliminate scavenging. To date, the City has purchased and installed 141 Big Belly units throughout the City at parks, libraries, bus stops, Metrolink stations, and other high- traffic public locations.

Since the initial purchase and installation, the City has focused on providing “duo units” (see attachment) that accept trash and recycling to make disposal of both waste and recycling efficient and convenient in public places. According to CalRecycle, trash and recycling bins that are close together generally increase recycling participation. It encourages the community to consider recycling the first option as it requires minimal effort. In addition, seeing the side-by-side bins is a constant reminder to separate waste.

5 Packet Pg. 66

Page 2 ends

Big Belly incorporates smart technology that measures the contents within the unit and sends an e-mail or text alert to maintenance staff when the unit needs to be serviced. This reduces the unsightly appearance of overfilled waste receptacles and saves time by allowing staff to skip service of units that are not full.

Staff is proposing the purchase of seven additional Big Belly duo units at a total cost of $81,065.

These new units will be installed at the Canyon Country Community Center, Vista Canyon Park, and Central Park.

Big Belly units showcase the City’s commitment to sustainable and innovative recycling efforts.

The proposed program expansion will allow residents to dispose of their waste correctly at more facilities. Additionally, this action is consistent with Santa Clarita’s 2025 Strategic Plan to continue efforts to achieve the goal of 75 percent solid waste diversion.

Waxie Sanitary Supply is the exclusive provider of Big Belly units; thus, a sole source procurement is necessary to ensure compatibility with existing infrastructure and operational consistency. Standardizing container types enhances operational efficiency, streamlines maintenance, and ensures uniformity for both staff and the community. Maintaining this standard is essential for service efficiency and seamless infrastructure integration. This approach aligns with the City’s purchasing policy, ensuring a cost-effective and consistent waste management system.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

Adequate funds are available in the Beverage Container Recycling Grant expenditure account $20,223 (2597206-516101) and $60,842 in the Construction and Demolition Forfeiture expenditure account (1007203-516102).

DEPARTMENT: Neighborhood Services
PRESENTER: Susan Nelson

RECOMMENDED ACTION

BACKGROUND
The McBean Transit Center complex is situated over an existing oil pipeline corridor. As part of the Mobile crude oil pipeline removal in 1992, soil and groundwater samples were collected and analyzed for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH).

Based on this exploratory investigation, it was determined that a release of petroleum hydrocarbons had occurred at the site. The cause of the release was unknown but assumed to be weathered crude oil from the pipelines.

The California Regional Water Quality Control Board (CRWQCB), Los Angeles Region, recently notified the City that a land use restriction is necessary to protect present or future human health, safety, or the environment, due to the history of hazardous materials in the soil and/or groundwater at the site. Although the site poses no immediate health or safety risks in its current state, the restriction ensures continued compliance with environmental regulations should it be developed. The CRWQCB has determined that there is no further mitigation required at this time, the site’s present use is safe. The covenant will ensure that the parties responsible for the contamination are burdened with any necessary remediation work associated with the site's future development. In addition, the City of Santa Clarita is identified as the fee title holder; therefore, a land use covenant is required, with City Council approval.

Staff recommends accepting a covenant and environmental restriction from the CRWQCB, Los 6 Packet Pg. 71

SUBJECT: LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH WHITTAKER CORPORATION AND

EHS SUPPORT LLC
DEPARTMENT: Neighborhood Services
PRESENTER: Amber Rodriguez

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all documents for the license agreement with Whittaker Corporation and EHS Support LLC, in a form approved by the City Attorney.

BACKGROUND
The Whittaker-Bermite site was used for explosive manufacturing and testing from 1934 to 1987, leading to significant contamination. The Whittaker Corporation (Whittaker) operated the facility from 1969 until its closure, producing various munitions. Industrial activities left behind over 275 contaminants in the soil and groundwater.

The California Department of Toxic Substances Control ordered remediation following the site’s closure. Soil cleanup was completed in 2019, but groundwater monitoring testing and treatment are ongoing. Staff recommends allowing Whittaker to support ongoing cleanup efforts, which requires a license agreement to access adjacent City of Santa Clarita (City) property for groundwater sampling, monitoring, and investigation purposes. Work associated with the agreement includes construction equipment for drilling purposes and installation of monitoring wells. The attached license agreement would be a ten-year term at no cost to either party. As part of the agreement (Section 5.A), any work requires the City’s written consent before beginning.

In addition, Section 2. The agreement outlines that all work must obtain necessary approvals from regulatory agencies, including, without limitation, well permits, encroachment permits, and traffic control plans, as required by applicable law. Lastly, Section 5. B allows the City to terminate the agreement at any time with at least 30 days’ notice.

The attached exhibit outlines the City-owned Assessor’s Parcel Numbers included in the agreement. Exhibit A is located near the Santa Clarita Metrolink Station (APN 2836-067-902), and Exhibits B and C are near Valencia Boulevard and Cinema Drive (APNs 2811-067-905 and 7 Packet Pg. 73

CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:

DATE: March 25, 2025
SUBJECT: DOCKWEILER DRIVE EXTENSION, PROJECT S3023 - DESIGN

CONTRACT MODIFICATIONS
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
PRESENTER: Shannon Pickett

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Extend the current design contract and authorize an increased expenditure authority for design services with MNS Engineers, Inc., in the amount of $1,668,812 and authorize a contingency in the amount of $166,881, for a revised total contract amount not to exceed $4,882,236.

3. Appropriate one-time funds in the amount of $2,100,000 from the Via Princessa Bridge and Thoroughfare Fund (Fund 453) to expenditure account S3023453-516101, Dockweiler Drive Extension.

4. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all contracts and associated documents, subject to City Attorney approval.

BACKGROUND

Originally constructed in the early 1990s, Dockweiler Drive currently connects east to Sierra Highway and terminates 500 feet west to Valle del Oro. The extension of Dockweiler Drive, as shown on the attached location map, is a critical east-west link that would provide a through connection from Sierra Highway to Railroad Avenue, as indicated in the City of Santa Clarita's (City) General Plan. This project supports the Building and Creating Community theme of the 8 Packet Pg. 90

Page 2 ends

City’s five-year strategic plan, Santa Clarita 2025.

On April 10, 2018, the City Council certified the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and approved the alignment of Dockweiler Drive to connect to Railroad Avenue at 13th Street. This alignment would require improvements to both Arch Street and 13th Street along with a fully upgraded railroad crossing at 13th Street and Railroad Avenue. The proposed roadway improvements would consist of a striped two-lane roadway with a 12-foot raised landscaped median, a 13-foot-wide sidewalk/parkway, and a 5-foot-wide bike lane on each side. The typical right-of-way width is 92 feet. Additionally, staff was authorized to submit an application to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), which was approved, for the required improvements at the 13th Street at-grade rail crossing.

On July 9, 2019, the City Council awarded a design contract to MNS Engineers, Inc. to design the roadway, drainage, and grading from the current terminus of Dockweiler Drive to connect with Railroad Avenue at 13th Street.

On August 22, 2023, the City Council approved the development of Shadowbox Studios and its proposed railroad crossing and road configuration on 13th Street, Arch Street, and Placerita Canyon Road. The road configuration included a wider railroad crossing; a bike path crossing the railroad; a signalized intersection at Dockweiler Drive and 12th Street; a revised intersection at Dockweiler Drive and Placerita Canyon Road; and realignment of storm drain improvements.

Due to the Shadowbox Studios entitlement, Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA) is requiring the City to update the Dockweiler Drive Extension project plans to accommodate the potential use of the lot; even if there is no indication that Shadowbox Studios will be constructed. The westerly section of the roadway extension must be completely re- designed, including modifications to several intersections and the railroad crossing.

MNS Engineers, Inc., Design Contract Extension

On July 9, 2019, the City Council awarded a design contract for civil engineering services for a total amount not to exceed $3,046,543 to MNS Engineers, Inc. MNS Engineers, Inc., was selected through a Request for Proposal process and is the Engineer of Record for the Dockweiler Drive Extension project.

In order to accommodate the revised design, it is recommended that the existing design contract with MNS Engineers, Inc., be increased by a total of $1,835,693, including contingency. This increase would allow MNS Engineers, Inc., to design and permit all required plans for the approved road configuration. The proposal is available in the City Clerk’s Reading File.

SCRRA Design Contract Extension

On July 9, 2019, the City Council authorized the execution of a design services agreement for a total amount not to exceed $241,395 with SCRRA. The City was required to contract with SCRRA because the project is located within the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s (Metro) right-of-way and will modify SCRRA’s facilities.

8 Packet Pg. 91

Page 3 ends

In order to accommodate the revised design, it is recommended that the existing design contract with SCRRA be increased by a total of $331,540, including contingency. This increase would allow SCRRA to provide design services, including the design of the Positive Train Control system, train signals, communication lines, and the required training and flagging for design operations such as utility investigation, geotechnical investigation, and survey work as the project is designed. The proposal is available in the City Clerk’s Reading File.

The requested contingencies will cover design modifications requested by the City, SCRRA, Metro, CPUC, and other permitting agencies during the design of the project, as well as the cost of additional as-needed services as the project continues.

The requested budget appropriation, along with existing project budget, will provide for contract extensions that allow the City to update the construction plans and specifications to accommodate the newly approved roadway configuration.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

Upon approval of the recommended actions, project budget will be increased in expenditure account S3023453-516101 (Via Princessa B&T Fund) by $2,100,000 to support the recommended contracts and associated project costs.
