CONTRACT AMENDMENT
Project Name: Fire Station Upgrades CA No. 5
Client Name: City of Seaside Project/Phase No. 1284-0017-00600 Attention: Nisha Patel Date: March 10, 2023
Address: 1635 Broadway Ave, Seaside, CA
Wallace Group requests the Client’s authorization to proceed with revisions to the contract agreement for the above referenced project as herein described. Approval below incorporates this document as a part of the original contract signed June 17, 2021. If approved, please return one signed original Contract Amendment to Wallace Group.
Description and Purpose of the Revision(s)
The City of Seaside (City) retained 101 Builders, Inc. (101 Builders) to construct upgrades to the subject site. The work included, among other things, the replacement of the fire station overhead rapid coiling doors (bay doors). 101 Builders retained subcontractors to furnish and install six replacement bay doors. This work was substantially completed on November 10, 2022 and the contractor should have achieved final completion by November 29, 2023 (i.e. within 10 working days of substantial completion). Prior to November 10, 2022, it was noted that the paint on all of the replacement bay doors was scuffed and needed repainting. Subsequently, it was also discovered that the paint was also failing. This was evidenced by missing paint in certain areas of the bay doors. The refinishing of the doors was added as Punch Item #12 on November 9, 2022 to be addressed prior to accepting the project. The City has requested that Wallace Group perform additional work to address the punch list items and oversee the proposed modifications to the bay doors to enhance the finish.
Wallace Group has forecasted the remaining work to complete the project and is requesting a budget amendment to allow for the following:
Site Inspections – The project duration has been extended by several months due to problems with the overhead doors. The construction work was substantially completed on about November 10, 2022. Punch walks were performed on October 31, November 10, and December 1, 2022 with intermediate inspections and subsequent inspections performed on December 21, 2022 and February 15, 2023 by Wallace Group staff to observe the work being completed and quality of painted overhead doors. It is estimated that four (4) additional site inspections will occur for documenting the remaining punch list items. Budgeted time for performing each site inspection is estimated at four (4) hours which includes one hour of travel time, up to one hour of site time, and two hours of report preparation and documentation. In order to conserve budget, site inspections may not be performed on each day construction is being performed.
This would allow more site inspection hours on days during significant events, such as layout for painting the overhead doors.
Coordination with Contractor – This CA assumes that three additional Construction Change Orders (CCOs) need to be negotiated.
Project Coordination - Up to six (6) construction meetings may be needed to be conducted to project closeout. This estimate includes three (3) hours per construction meeting to be held via video conference including 2 hours preparation time and 1 hour for conducting and documenting the meeting. This CA also includes fifty (50) hours for discussions that may be needed to be conducted with the Contractor and the City for project closeout. Project Close Out – Estimated that twenty six (26) total hours will be needed for gathering close out documentation for the project including reviewing final payment applications and project as-builts.

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution:
1.Declaring the re-roof project as an emergency because it is necessary to prevent danger to life and property;

BACKGROUND
Recent weather events have revealed that the roof of the fire station at 1635 Broadway Avenue is leaking in several locations, including over the offices, apparatus bay, and electrical and alarm room. Maintenance staff have taken action to install temporary protection measures on the roof to prevent water leaking to the extent possible, but a complete replacement of the existing roof over the office, apparatus bay, and shop area is required. These sections of the roof are past their estimated service life. The roof over the dormitory area was replaced more recently, and is still within its 30-year service life.
Packet Page 179
Item No. 8.G. Page 2 of 2
The method of replacement for the roof is remove the existing tar and gravel roofing system in the affected areas, and replace it with a new Class A fire rated roofing system. This new roofing system would be comprised of a 1/4" Dens Decking roof board installed over the roof substrate to maintain the Class A fire rating, followed by a white 60-mil PVC membrane. The membrane will also be installed on the interior side of the vertical parapet walls that border the roof areas.
At the request of Public Works staff, three companies submitted proposals to reroof the selected areas of the fire station. All three companies submitted proposals, of which all were deemed responsive. Premo Roofing submitted the lowest cost proposal. Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution approving an Agreement for Contractor Services with Premo Roofing for the Fire Station No. 1 Reroof Project and authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement.
ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE
Pursuant to preliminary review of the activities associated with this Council action in accordance with Section 15061 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. This project is Categorically Exempt (Class 1, Existing Facilities). The project repairs and performs minor upgrades to an existing facility, and involves no expansion of use.
FISCAL IMPACT
The replacement of the fire station roof is one of the improvements planned for Fire Station No. 1, to be completed in the near future. These improvements are included in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP), and are included in Fire Station 1 Improvements Account, (No. 344-8910-9556). The anticipated total project budget, including construction and contingency for Premo Roofing's scope of work, amounts to $123,936.00.

CONTRACTOR acknowledges that the insurance coverage and policy limits set forth in this section constitute the minimum amount of coverage required. Any insurance proceeds available to CONTRACTOR or its subcontractors in excess of the limits and coverage identified in this Agreement and which is applicable to a given loss, claim or demand, will be equally available to AGENCY.
A. CONTRACTOR shall provide the following types and amounts of insurance:
Without limiting CONTRACTOR’s indemnification of AGENCY, and prior to commencement of Work, CONTRACTOR shall obtain, provide and maintain at its own expense during the term of this Agreement, policies of insurance of the type and amounts described below and in a form satisfactory to AGENCY.

Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by CONTRACTOR shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by AGENCY shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of AGENCY before the AGENCY’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.
Products/completed operations coverage. Products/completed operations coverage shall extend a minimum of three (3) years after project completion.
Coverage shall be included on behalf of the insured for covered claims arising out of the actions of independent contractors.

Agency’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these requirements or is canceled and not replaced, AGENCY has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by AGENCY will be promptly reimbursed by CONTRACTOR or AGENCY will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from CONTRACTOR payments. In the alternative, AGENCY may cancel this Agreement.
Acceptable insurers.

Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against AGENCY, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees and volunteers or shall specifically allow CONTRACTOR or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. CONTRACTOR hereby waives its own right of recovery against AGENCY, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.
Packet Page 200
FIRE STATION NO 1 RE-ROOF Exhibit C
Enforcement of contract provisions (non estoppel). CONTRACTOR acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the AGENCY to inform CONTRACTOR of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the AGENCY nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance.
Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the CONTRACTOR maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the AGENCY requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the CONTRACTOR. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the AGENCY.
Notice of cancellation. CONTRACTOR agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to AGENCY with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage.
Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that AGENCY and its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies.
Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to AGENCY and approved of in writing.
Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that CONTRACTOR’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.
Pass through clause. CONTRACTOR agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by CONTRACTOR, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section.
Packet Page 201
FIRE STATION NO 1 RE-ROOF Exhibit C
CONTRACTOR agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to AGENCY for review.
Agency’s right to revise requirements. The AGENCY reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the CONTRACTOR a ninety (90) day advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the CONTRACTOR, the AGENCY and CONTRACTOR may renegotiate CONTRACTOR’s compensation.
Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by AGENCY. AGENCY reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by AGENCY.
Timely notice of claims. CONTRACTOR shall give AGENCY prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from CONTRACTOR’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.
Additional insurance. CONTRACTOR shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the Work.

STAFF REPORT
Item No.: 8.H.
TO: City Council
FROM: Jaime M. Fontes, City Manager
BY: Nisha Patel, Public Works Director/City Engineer
DATE: April 6, 2023
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A PROFESSIONAL
SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH SCHAAF & WHEELER FOR
PREPARATION OF A STORM DRAIN MASTER PLAN FOR AN
AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $193,000.00
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a professional service agreement with Schaaf & Wheeler for preparation of a Storm Drain Master Plan for an amount not to exceed $193,000.00.
BACKGROUND
The City of Seaside has three interconnected storm drain systems: the City’s system, the Presidio of Monterey Annex and California State University Monterey Bay. The City last updated the Storm Drain Master Plan in 2014. That plan developed a capital improvement project list for the City’s system based upon input provided by City staff and as needed to comply with the State General Permit for Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4). That study did not include a stormwater model to assess system capacity.
In December 2022, staff requested a proposal from Schaaf & Wheeler to develop a new Storm Drain Master Plan for the City’s storm drain system. On March 9, 2023, Schaaf & Wheeler provided a proposal to develop the City Storm Drain Master Plan in the amount not to exceed $193,000.00. The services in the proposal include: inventory and video inspect existing storm drain pipes; develop watershed hydrology and model the existing system; identify system deficiencies and alternatives; update the stormwater capital improvement program with project descriptions and cost estimates; and preparation of a final plan report including presentation to the City Council. Schaaf & Wheeler estimates it will take 18 months to complete the storm drain master plan. Staff Packet Page 203
Item No. 8.H. Page 2 of 2
reviewed the scope of work and fee in the proposal and found it acceptable.
Staff recommends adopting a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Schaaf & Wheeler for an amount not to exceed $193,000.00 to prepare a Stormwater Master Plan for the City of Seaside.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Professional Services Agreement for Schaaf & Wheeler to prepare a Storm Drain Master Plan is for a not to exceed amount of $193,000.00. A 10% contingency adds $19,300.00 for a total of $212,300.00. The adopted fiscal year 2022/2023 budget for the Storm Drain Master Plan Update is $350,000.00, which is sufficient to cover this PSA.

Attn: Ms. Nisha Patel, PE
440 Harcourt Avenue
Seaside, CA 93955
Subject: Proposal to Prepare a Storm Drain Master Plan
Dear Nisha:
Schaaf & Wheeler is pleased to propose engineering services for the City of Seaside Storm Drain Master Plan. The City of Seaside covers approximately nine square miles, with about half of that developed lands with existing storm drainage systems. The systems range in age from 10 to 75 years old. The City would like the system analyzed to address current performance and to identify needed capital replacements. Two portions of the City are managed by other entities: Presidio of Monterey Annex and California State University, Monterey Bay. Those systems only need to be assessed where they interconnect with the City-maintained storm drain system.
Our detailed scope of work and fee estimate are attached. Our project manager will be Daniel Schaaf, PE, who recently completed the City of Carmel’s Storm Drain master Plan. The work would proceed in two phases. The first phase is data collection, field investigation and mapping. Once the system mapping is complete, the modeling and analysis phase will begin. We anticipate the overall effort taking approximately 12-months. Our estimated not-to-exceed fee total is $193,000.
We thank you for this opportunity to propose services for the City of Seaside Storm Drain Mater Plan. Should you need any further information, please contact me at (831) 883-4848 or [email protected].
Sincerely,
Schaaf & Wheeler

EXHIBIT A
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Basic services will consist of developing a comprehensive Storm Drain Master Plan (SDMP) for the City of Seaside minus the Presidio of Monterey Annex and CSUMB. The required scope of services is described in more detail below.
Task 1 - Data Collection
The Schaaf & Wheeler team shall familiarize themselves with existing resource documents that contain information relating to this project and the City’s policies regarding storm water facilities.
Task 1.1 – Kick-Off Meeting
Schaaf & Wheeler attend a kick off meeting with City staff to discuss project goals, expectations, schedule and other items. This meeting will be held at City offices or via teleconference. Schaaf & Wheeler will prepare meeting agenda, action item list and meeting minutes.
Task 1.2 - Review and Compile Existing Watershed and Drainage Facility Data Schaaf & Wheeler will provide services to research, collect and review existing background data. Data sources include:
• Existing City/County GIS drainage and watershed maps
• Soils data (more specifically for soil types associated with percolation and infiltration)
• "As-built" construction drawings for the local storm drain facilities (where available) • Existing Drainage Studies
• Regional Stormwater Resource Plan
• FEMA Floodplain mapping
• Ownership data (as needed)
• Land use data
• Topography (County LIDAR data will be made available) Identify data gaps in the City’s GIS database.
Deliverables: A list of data collected and reviewed. Electronic data will be shared with the City.
Task 2 - Existing Facilities Field Survey and Inventory Task 2.1 - Facility Inventory
Packet Page 218
City of Seaside Page 2 of 8
Schaaf & Wheeler Consulting Civil Engineers
Storm Drain Master Plan
Schaaf & Wheeler will incorporate data collected under Task 1.2 into the project GIS. Schaaf & Wheeler will field located all readily accessible public storm drainage facilities within city limits. Each element will be field located and updated into a geodatabase using Survey123 or similar GIS platform. Attributes collected for each pipe/conduit element will include material, size, depth, and condition. A topside condition assessment will be conducted using a pole-mounted GoPro camera. Schaaf & Wheeler estimates 12 field days to collect all data. Although horizontal and vertical data will be collected this should not be considered a survey of the system.
Schaaf & Wheeler will compile the existing data with field data to create an updated storm drain system geodata. Data will be stored in ArcGIS Shapefile format. One file (layer) will include links which will be comprised of ditches, channels, pipes, culverts, and other linear elements. The other file (layer) will be node which will be comprised of inlets, catch basins, manholes, weirs, basins, outfalls, and other point data.
Task 2.2 – Condition Assessment
Using the CCTV and pole-mounted camera data Schaaf & Wheeler will rate each drainage element using the NASSCO ranking system. Locations with considerable sediment or damages will be identified along with improvement recommendations.
Schaaf & Wheeler will subcontract with Presidio Systems, Inc. to televise the majority of the City’s public drainage networks, pipes and culverts larger than 12-inches, within the City.
We are budgeting for ten (10) days of inspection and estimate 17,000 linear-feet of pipe will be inspected. Presidio Systems will not be taking field measurements. Beach/ocean outfalls will be inspected by a NASCO certified engineer from Schaaf & Wheeler. All safety gear and confined space entry expenses are included in this scope and fee.
Data will be collected in POSM format and linked to the GIS data. Locations with blockages or severe sedimentation will be cleaned as directed by City staff.
Task 2.3- Acquire and Review Outside Data
Schaaf & Wheeler will work with the City to identify and gather the necessary information and outside data that will assist in the completion of the Storm Drain Master Plan. Data that is anticipated to be collected by the Schaaf & Wheeler team may include Caltrans storm water facility data (where necessary), FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) data, stream stability studies, as well as ocean conditions.
Deliverables: A list of data collected under Task 2.1 to 2.3. Electronic data will be shared with the City.
Task 3 - Watershed Hydrology Development
Packet Page 219
City of Seaside Page 3 of 8
Schaaf & Wheeler Consulting Civil Engineers
Storm Drain Master Plan
Task 3.1 - Delineate Existing Watershed Characteristics Schaaf & Wheeler will review and validate any available existing drainage delineations prepared by others. Schaaf & Wheeler is not budgeting to re-delineate watershed subareas.
The watershed map will be utilized to determine the average characteristic parameters associated with each watershed subarea necessary for the application of hydrologic analysis.
Schaaf & Wheeler will obtain and review available data for parameter estimation in the precipitation-runoff model including infiltration, vegetation cover, impervious cover, hydrologic soils data, slopes, and watershed hydraulic efficiency.
Task 3.2 – Model Selection and Hydrologic Methodology Development Schaaf & Wheeler will work with the City to determine the appropriate modeling software for this project. If necessary, a model matrix will be developed to assist in the decision making process. Once the model is selected, Schaaf & Wheeler will work with the City to determine the appropriate hydrologic methodology for this study. Schaaf & Wheeler is budgeting for one (1) storm frequency for CIP design and one additional frequency to help determine risk. The City will determine the appropriate events.
Deliverables: Schaaf & Wheeler will provide an updated watershed map and the parameter calculation summary tables for review. The City will review this map and provide comments back to the Schaaf & Wheeler within five business days.
Task 4 - Drainage System Hydraulic Modeling/Alternatives Analysis Task 4.1 - Existing Municipal Storm Drain - Hydraulic Model Preparation Schaaf & Wheeler will perform a hydraulic analysis of the conveyance capacity of the existing City main line (“backbone”) storm drain pipe system, including channels and culverts (where appropriate). The hydraulic analysis will be based upon evaluation of the hydraulic grade line in comparison with existing grade. The hydraulic model developed as part of this task will provide the baseline model to identify system deficiencies and to develop improvement recommendations and alternatives. Isolated private facilities outside of the public right-of-way and pipes smaller than 12-inches will not be analyzed. Private pipes and channels that connect to City owned networks will be included in the model.
Peak water level data and hydraulic information will be summarized in tabular and map format. Suspected underground streams will not be modeled but will be included in the overall analysis and recommendations.
Task 4.2 - Deficiency Removal and Alternatives Formulation /Feasibility Analysis Schaaf & Wheeler will develop preliminary alternatives to mitigate hydraulic deficiencies within the existing main line storm drain system. The conceptual alternatives will focus on increasing the hydraulic capacity of a system through enlarging drainage facilities, installing new parallel systems adjacent to existing facilities, or constructing a diversion system (when directed to do so by the City). The proposed increased pipe sizing will be based upon water Packet Page 220
City of Seaside Page 4 of 8
Schaaf & Wheeler Consulting Civil Engineers
Storm Drain Master Plan
surface profile hydraulic calculations for the design flow rates. Preliminary horizontal and vertical alignments will be developed for the recommended facilities. The lengths and elevation data will be used for detailed hydraulic analysis and cost estimating purposes.
The sizing of the proposed modifications to the existing storm drain system will be adjusted using the water surface profile model to optimize the performance of the system and identify impacts and benefits associated with a recommended project. Projects with potential for green infrastructure will be identified; however, our report will not constitute a Green Infrastructure Plan.
Deliverables: Schaaf & Wheeler will provide maps and hydraulic summary tables for the storm drain systems determined to be insufficient to handle the design storm flows. The maps will highlight insufficient systems for ease of review. Additionally, Schaaf & Wheeler will provide maps of proposed improvements and preliminary summaries of proposed material quantities necessary to correct any hydraulic deficiencies. The City will require approximately 2 weeks to review the data, depending upon the number of deficient drainage systems.
Task 5 - Capital Improvement Plan Development
Task 5.1 - Identification of Recommended Improvements
The City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) may utilize and incorporate the recommendations of the capacity analysis (Task 4.2) into future project planning. Schaaf & Wheeler will formulate and recommend alternatives for the repair, rehabilitation, and improvements to the storm drainage system (including channels) that will satisfy the established objectives. Consideration will be given to the level of deficiency in system’s hydraulic capacity. Schaaf & Wheeler will identify necessary upgrades to the drainage system. The CIP will also identify projects with the potential for green infrastructure, trash capture and other NPDES and regulatory benefits.
Task 5.2 - Implementation Program
Provide engineering services to prioritize improvement projects identified in Task 5.1.
Schaaf & Wheeler will develop the criteria for prioritizing system improvements. A listing of recommended improvements and their priority will be presented to the City for review.
The recommended improvements will incorporate a phased approach based upon risk characterization, potential impacts, and prioritization. Priorities shall consider changes in overall system flow rates to ensure improvements do not result in new problems.
Task 5.3 - Preliminary Drainage Facilities Quantity and Construction Cost Estimate Preliminary, planning level, construction quantity estimates will be prepared for the recommended drainage improvements. Major project tasks will be included in the estimate such as:
Packet Page 221
City of Seaside Page 5 of 8
Schaaf & Wheeler Consulting Civil Engineers
Storm Drain Master Plan
1) Land acquisition
2) Street paving and traffic control
3) Utility relocation or protection (where potential conflicts are anticipated) 4) Design Fee
5) Construction Contingencies
A preliminary estimated cost of construction will be generated from the quantity estimate using approved unit costs from the City. Unit costs will be based upon the most current cost information for recent similar projects in the area.
Deliverables: Schaaf & Wheeler will provide to the City a preliminary list of projects based on priority. Each item on the list will be accompanied by an estimated cost to construct the project, as well as the anticipated material quantities. The City will review the list and will provide comments to the Schaaf & Wheeler within 2 weeks of submission of the material for review.
Task 6 – Storm Drainage Master Plan Document
Task 6.1 - Draft Storm Drain Master Plan
Schaaf & Wheeler will prepare a draft of the new Storm Drain Master Plan that supports the assessments, analyses and recommended drainage facilities. The documentation will summarize project data, methodologies, hydrology and hydraulic analysis for the existing system, condition assessment, priority list of proposed improvement projects, hydraulic analysis of proposed improvements, and construction costs for proposed improvements projects. A section on financial planning will be include to outline potential funding sources and mechanism for the CIP.
Task 6.2 - Final Storm Drain Master Plan
A final report will be prepared which incorporates comments and modifications from the draft review by the City. The written report will serve as the technical documentation for the City’s Capital Improvement Program to aid in preliminary engineering design and selection of the recommended drainage system improvements.
Task 7 - Administration and Project Management
Task 7.1 - Project Management, Billings, Meetings and Coordination Schaaf & Wheeler will conduct project management activities to ensure adherence to schedule and budget, as well as documentation of communication with the City.
Coordinate and attend project meetings with City staff such as progress meetings, submittal reviews, and as needed to review technical issues. Schaaf & Wheeler will facilitate monthly progress meetings (likely via phone) and prepare agendas and minutes.

Enforcement of contract provisions (non estoppel). Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the Agency to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the Agency nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type.

Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to Agency for review.
Agency’s right to revise specifications. The Agency reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change.

OPTIONAL ONE YEAR RENEWAL PERIODS FOR A TOTAL THREE
YEAR CONTRACT AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $74,184.00
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution authorizing a professional service agreement with HdL for Utility User Tax Program administration.
BACKGROUND
In Fiscal Year 2021-2022, the City of Seaside City Council approved a budget line item for HdL to provide Utility User Tax (UUT) program administration. The initial contract had a value below $25,000.00 and therefore was approved administratively. The City's Finance department found the service provided by HdL to be useful and efficient. The contract has expired and the Finance department wishes to renew the contract for a one-year term with two optional renewal periods of one year each. With the possibility for the term to extend to three years, the value of the contract requires City Council approval.
The service provided by HdL includes an online portal for taxpayers to pay the UUT tax, taxpayer customer service, tax return processing, tax receipts and remittance of tax revenue to the City. The estimated value of the contract is $24,240.00 per fiscal year with a CPI adjustment each year. Audit services may be recommended by HdL regarding certain taxpayers, but will not proceed until approved by City staff. Audit costs will be recovered from audit generated revenue.

STAFF REPORT
Item No.: 9.A.
TO: City Council
FROM: Jaime M. Fontes, City Manager
BY: Sheri Damon, City Attorney
DATE: April 6, 2023
SUBJECT: DISCUSS AND CONSIDER THE POTENTIAL CENSURE OF
COUNCIL MEMBER ALEX MILLER FOR HIS FACEBOOK POST OF
MARCH 17, 2023
RECOMMENDATION
Discuss and consider the potential censure of Council member Alex Miller for his Facebook post of March 17, 2023.
BACKGROUND
The City Manager was asked to place on the agenda an item about the potential censure of Alex Miller for his Facebook post of March 17, 2023. In order for the majority of the Council to discuss the Facebook post, the matter was required to be agendized in order to comply with the Brown Act. The majority would otherwise, be unable to comment on the appropriateness of the language or conduct. "Censure" is the procedural method set forth in Robert's Rules of Order by which the City Council majority may exercise its First Amendment rights to comment on another's language or conduct they do not believe is appropriate. The City Attorney was asked to produce a law and procedure memorandum outlining the current law and procedure of the City as it relates to a "censure" and that memorandum is attached. A motion for censure (with no penalty) is treated as any other motion, except that the recipient of censure is allowed to rebut the findings contained in the censure.
FISCAL IMPACT
This item is not included in the City's Strategic Plan.
Fiscally, this item is included in the staff salary.

MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CITY ATTORNEY
DATE: 4/6/2023
RE: CITY COUNCIL CENSURE LAW AND PROCEDURES
1. QUESTION
What process/options does the City council have to address conduct/comments the Council considers unbecoming of a City Council member?
2. SUMMARY CONCLUSION
At the current time, the Council only has the procedures set forth in Robert’s Rules of Order, since neither the Seaside Municipal Code nor the City Council’s code of ethics and conduct identify a specific process to address violations of the code of conduct or behavior or other statements or actions unbecoming of a City Council member. In order for the majority to discuss language or conduct of council members without violating the Brown Act, the matter must be placed or discussed on the Agenda, since a Motion for Censure may be considered by the Council at any time. A censure motion with no penalty must be noticed, the offending conduct/behavior outlined and an opportunity to be heard.
3. ANALYSIS
In 2019, the City of Seaside adopted a Code of Conduct to be added to the existing code of ethics adopted in 1979, to be included in the Boards and Commissions Handbook. The Code of Conduct is a one page document that does not identify the consequence or sanctions for violating the code of ethics and conduct. Nor does the code describe expected conduct for elected or appointed officials in their public interactions.
Seaside Municipal Code section 2.02.100 states that Robert’s Rules of Order, current edition, shall govern in all matters not specifically provided. The current version of Robert’s Rules of Order is the 12th edition. Censure is an inherent power of a legislative body that follows Robert’s Rules of Order. (Roberts, p. 627-28, Section 61.) A legislative body can use “censure” at any time to address inappropriate board member behavior if the Board votes to do so.
In essence, censure, with no penalty, is designed to separate and identify the board members’ actions or words as not in alignment with the board’s policies or modes of decorum. Censure, is not the only potential sanction however, in extreme cases of Packet Page 284
2 inappropriate language or conduct (including but not limited to sexual harassment, bullying, etc.), a censure might include a Censure Resolution, a potential removal from Boards and/or Commissions (penalty) and/or potential referral to the District Attorney’s office.
A. Censure Is Protected by the First Amendment
When there is no penalty included, censure is only the expression of an opinion by the majority of the legislative body. (Phelan v. Laramie County Community College Board Of Trustees, 235 F.3d 1243 (10th Cir., 2000).) “In censuring Ms. Phelan, Board members sought only to voice their opinion that she violated the ethics policy and to ask that she not engage in similar conduct in the future.”2 (Id. at 1248.) A board’s censure opinion is protected by the First Amendment. (Westfall v. City Of Crescent City, (“Westfall II”) 2011 WL 4024663 (unpublished) (N.D.Cal. 2011) (granting City’s motion to dismiss).)3 “. . .
Council members had a corresponding First Amendment right to ‘vot[e] their conscience on the important issues” they identified in the censure resolution.’” (Westfall II at *4.) The Westfall II court considered the censure First Amendment activity even though the censure resolution also stripped the respondent of her committee memberships.
B. Censure Protected By Anti-SLAPP Statutes.
As an expression of an opinion, the resolution of censure is protected by the antiSLAPP statutes of the state. (Californians Aware v. Orange Unified School District (“Californians Aware”), 2008 WL 4078764 at *11 (unpublished) (Cal.App. 4 Dist.)) “[A] governmental entity enjoys a right to freedom of speech, which is consequently enforceable under the anti-SLAPP law.” (See also Rodriguez, v. Jurupa Unified School District (“Rodriguez”), 2010 WL 3135386 (Cal.App. 4 Dist.)4; Shivers, v. Yuba Community College District (“Shivers)“, 2002 WL 22783 (unpublished) (Cal.App. 3 Dist. 2002) (District Administrator’s lawsuit stricken on District’s anti-SLAPP motion.
Lawsuit challenged District board censure of Administrator.) Westfall v. City Of Crescent City (“Westfall I”), 2011 WL 2110306 (unpublished) (N.D.Cal.) (partially granting City’s motion to strike).) Even when a respondent is stripped of his or her committee memberships, he or she may be barred from bringing actions for intentional infliction of emotional distress and defamation under the Anti-SLAPP statute. (Westfall II at *11.)
C. Due Process Is Limited
Numerous legislative bodies issue a censure by resolution. (See Braun v. City of Taft, 154 Cal.App. 3d 332, 339 (1984); Californians Aware at *5; Westfall II at *1; Rodriguez at *3.)
1. Minimal Due Process. “In determining applicable due process safeguards, it must be remembered that ‘due process is flexible and calls for such procedural protections as the particular situation demands.’” (People v. Ramirez, 25 Cal.3d 260, 268 (1979).) Only minimal due process standards here should apply: notice and an opportunity to refute the allegations. One court has said that it could find no required policies or procedures on censure that a city must follow. (Westfall II at *6.) The Westfall II court Packet Page 285
3 rejected the charge that the legislative body had no censure policy, and therefore could not impose a censure. (Westfall II at *5.) The court noted that there was no violation of due process as the respondent had “received notice of the Council's decision to vote to censure her at an upcoming public meeting, had communicated with [the City Attorney] regarding the procedural mechanism for the sanction, and attended the public meeting where the remaining Council members unanimously voted to censure her.” (Westfall II at *6.) This was sufficient due process even when the censure resolution included stripping the respondent of committee membership.
The court also noted that the transgressions were observed directly by other councilmembers no further investigation was necessary.
Especially when a censure motion is “not a formal legal finding” and does not “diminish” a Councilmember’s right as a Councilmember, due process is limited. At most, a respondent is entitled only to notice and an opportunity to refute the allegations. (Rodriguez at *12.)5 Even when the matters occur outside the view of the council, the court was not concerned that the allegations were submitted to the legislative body by just an oral report. (Rodriguez, at *8 (Investigators presented oral report on board member's unacceptable conduct involving allegations of sexuallycharged comments, inappropriate physical contact, and threats against district employees).)
Other entities, such as licensing boards, do allow for a specific procedures before censure. These procedures, however, are required by the body’s own rules. (See, e.g., Commission on Judicial Performance, Rule 123.) As noted by the Westfall II court, supra, no rule or statute mandates a specific process for a City Council censure.
2. No Cross-examination. Due process does not require that the subject have the “right of cross examination at a name-clearing hearing.” (Binkley v. City of Long Beach, 16 Cal.App. 4th 1795, 1809 (1993) (Chief of Police, who held the position at the pleasure of the City Manager, could be fired without “just cause,” so long as he was given an adequate opportunity to convince the agency to reverse its decision).) In the context of a censure of a City Councilmember, since not even firing is at stake, certainly there is no right to cross examination.
4. CONCLUSION
The City Council has the power to pass a motion or resolution censuring a councilmember. A formal hearing and cross examination are not required so long as there is no penalty attached to the censure. At a minimum (1) the item must be noticed on the public agenda in accordance with the Brown Act requirements, (2) the offending conduct should be included in the packet and (3) the subject councilmember must be given an opportunity to rebut the charges against him/her.
The City Council may censure a member by a majority vote or may direct a more formal Resolution of Censure be prepared. Should the Council desire to include any additional penalty, such as removal from boards or commissions, then a more formal hearing process would be required.

FROM: Jaime M. Fontes, City Manager
BY: Sheri Damon, City Attorney
DATE: April 6, 2023
SUBJECT: DISCUSS AND PROVIDE DIRECTION ON THE POTENTIAL
UPDATE TO THE CURRENT CODE OF CONDUCT AND ETHICS
RECOMMENDATION
Direct City Manager and City Attorney to return with a proposed update to the current code of conduct for all public representatives (City Council, Boards and Commissions)
BACKGROUND
The City adopted a Code of Ethics on July 5, 1979. The goal of the Code of Ethics is to affirm an identity of excellence and integrity for City government, thus reinforcing public trust. In addition to laws, regulations and ethical codes, some cities adopt Codes of Conduct. Codes of Ethics generally regulate judgement of individuals in an organization, while Codes of Conduct generally regulate actions and describe expected behaviors. In 2019, the City of Seaside adopted a Code of Conduct to be included in the Boards and Commissions Handbook. The handbook can be found on the City's website at http://www.ci.seaside.ca.us/DocumentCenter/View/4171/Boards-andCommissions-Handbook-2020?bidId= The Code of Conduct is a one-page document that does not outline the various interactions that Council members, Board members or other City representatives have with each other, staff, members of the public and other third party boards and commissions. Neither the existing Code of Ethics or nor the code of conduct outline the consequences or sanctions for violating the code of ethics and conduct. Neither addresses social media as a public space. While the Brown Act regulates on a more formal basis the interactions of council members on social media, the City's current code of conduct and ethics is silent on this more modern form of communication. A copy of the staff report from 2019 related to the existing code of conduct is attached to this report for the council's consideration.
A clarification of the existing code of conduct and ethics would be helpful in clarifying Packet Page 288
Item No. 9.B. Page 2 of 2
the expectations of the Council of its members, the City's boards and commissions as they discharge and perform their public service roles.
FISCAL IMPACT
This item is not in the Strategic Plan.
This item would be otherwise included in the current budgeted amounts for staff.

BACKGROUND
The City adopted a Code of Ethics on July 5, 1979. The goal of the Code of Ethics is to affirm an identity of excellence and integrity for City government, thus reinforcing public trust. In addition to laws, regulations and ethical codes, some cities adopt Codes of Conduct. Codes of Ethics generally regulate judgement of individuals in an organization while Codes of Conduct generally regulate actions and describe expected behaviors.
After surveying other Codes of Conduct from both public and private sector organizations, staff has prepared a draft Code of Conduct unique to Seaside’s organizational and community culture. The Code, as drafted, is intended to be brief and simple, but also powerful; describing in straightforward behavioral terms what is expected of Seaside officials. Should the Council adopt the Code of Conduct; staff will include the Code in appropriate City documents and publications.

CITY OF SEASIDE
STAFF REPORT
Item No.: 9.D.
TO: City Council
FROM: Jaime M. Fontes, City Manager
BY: Dan Meewis, Recreation Director
DATE: April 6, 2023
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO
ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
WITH EVERYONE'S HARVEST FOR THE OPERATION OF
SEASIDE'S CERTIFIED FARMERS MARKET YEAR ROUND FOR A
NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT OF $24,600.00 A YEAR FOR A TERM
OF TWO YEARS
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with Everyone's Harvest to operate the Seaside Certified Farmer's Market on a year-round basis for a term of two years.
BACKGROUND
The City of Seaside seeks to reinstate it's Certified Farmer's Market with the goals of creating a festive community event and social gathering place. The goal of the farmer's market is to offer community members an opportunity to purchase locally grown produce, artisan goods, and locally sourced and culturally relevant products that will appear to the broad range of residents and visitors that will highlight the unique and diverse character of Seaside. The market will also give farmers an opportunity to sell their products locally, and also provide local businesses, non-profits, artisans, and musicians with an opportunity to participate.
During the Fiscal Year 22/23 budget meetings, it was determined that the City would like to bring back a Farmer's Market. Having the market in Seaside is a key component for the City to achieve Blue Zones Project Certification. The market will provide affordable, accessible and fresh fruits and vegetables for the community while also having a variety of multi-cultural vendors that reflect this city's diversity. The last time a City had a Farmer's Market was in Fiscal Year 18/19, and that market was held on Saturdays on the 600 block of Broadway. There were a variety of challenges with the first market location, and this time around we are looking at three potential locations that were identified from a community survey that was done by the Blues Zones Project. Those locations are:
Packet Page 303
Item No. 9.D. Page 2 of 4
• The parking lot at City Hall
• The parking lot at Oldemeyer Center
• Lower Broadway Avenue
On January 23, 2023, the Recreation Department issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking a qualified Certified Farmer's market Operator. The staff's desire was to find an operator that is certified by an accredited Farmer's Market authority and one who will provide an abundant blend of multi-cultural market vendors that will limit the sale of non-food products to 25% or less of the total products offered, and will ensure there is a balance amongst vendors. Proposals that include one or more of the following would be given priority:
• Cal Fresh/Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) • Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) which provides monthly benefits for purchasing food. • Use of Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)
• Senior Market Nutrition Programs
• Farmer's Market check redemption to purchase fresh fruit & vegetables • Use of coupons from a produce prescription program
• Receiving additional funds from the Market Match program One proposal was received by the deadline of February 24, 2023, and that was from the previous Farmer's Market Operator "Everyone's Harvest". The proposal was reviewed by staff and a member of the Blues Zones Project of Monterey County. The proposal was reviewed and rated based on the following criteria:
Firms Qualifications, Experience, and References: Experience in performing work on projects similar in nature and size. Experience working with public agencies, strength, stability, experience, technical competence, and client references.
Qualifications and Experience of Personnel and Staffing: Qualifications and experience of proposed personnel for requested services.
Work Plan: Depth of Consultant's understanding of the City's requirements, overall quality and logic of the work plan.
Quality and Responsiveness of the Proposal: Completeness of response in accordance with the RFP instructions.
The weighting of the proposal's rating was based on the following formula:
• Breadth of quality of service listed in the scope of work - 30 points • Qualifications of key personnel to be assigned to the anticipated project and tasks that coincide with the Scope of Work - 30 points
• Demonstrate the ability to successfully provide services for projects of similar complexity in nature - 20 points
• Organization and presentation and content of proposals - 10 points • Favorable references - 10 points
Total 100 points
Packet Page 304
Item No. 9.D. Page 3 of 4
While there was only one proposal, the average score from the rates was 82.75, and staff determined that Everyone's Harvest has the knowledge and experience to operate a Certified Farmer's Market in the City of Seaside.
Everyone's Harvest Team
Everyone's Harvest is a 501(c)3 organization that currently operates five Certified Farmer's Markets in Monterey County, and has 20 years of experience with the operational functions of these markets.
In addition, Everyone's Harvest provides several community food programs such as; Market Match, Fresh Rx, and Edible Education, which provides a $15 match for CalFresh purchases and a weekly $35 voucher for FreshRx. These programs increase equitable access for low-income community members to affordable, locally grown produce. These programs are not offered by any other farmer's market operators in Monterey County.
Everyone's Harvest's markets provide Venus where local multicultural, small and mid-scale farmers can sell culturally relevant produce directly to local consumers, where in Seaside 45.6% are Latin X,
7.1% are African American, and 9.1% are Asian, according to the US census. The demographics of the farmers and vendors who participate in Everyone's Harvests' markets reflect the diversity of Seaside. Also, local food vendors and artisans can sell their products directly to members of the community, and local musicians and other performers will have the opportunity to entertain their fellow community members and community groups can educate the public about local programs, events, and activities.
In Everyone's Harvest Proposal, they submitted draft site plans for the three locations that staff had identified as potential locations for the market: The parking lot at City Hall, the parking lot at Oldemeyer Center, and on the 600 block of lower Broadway. In addition to these site plans, Everyone's Harvest proposed two different days, and two possible timeframes on Saturdays.
Thursdays from 3pm - 7pm
Saturdays from 10am - 2pm or 12pm - 4pm
While Everyone's Harvest's preferred location is the parking lot at Oldemeyer Center because of the close proximity to numerous multi-unit housing complexes, access to public transportation, family friendly activities at the newly renovated Ellis Park, and access to the restroom facilities inside Oldemeyer Center. Staff have determined that the extensive use of Oldemeyer Center on Saturdays, and limiting the use of the parking lot for those who rent the facility would be a hindrance and could jeopardize future rentals for the duration of the contract. The Broadway location also has a few challenges associated with the operation there, and given the turnout from the previous attempt, staff have determined that it is not a suitable location at this time.
The staff's recommendation is to adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement for professional services with Everyone's Harvest to operate a Certified Farmer's Market on Saturday from 10am - 2pm in the parking lot of City Hall on a year round basis for a term of two years.
As alternatives to approving this resolution, the City Council could:
1. Approve the resolution with alternatives, such as; changing the day, time, location, or frequency.
2. Request staff to negotiate the agreement, scope of work and budget and return to the Council for further consideration.
Packet Page 305
Item No. 9.D. Page 4 of 4
3. Direct staff to reissue the RFP.
The operation of a Certified Farmer's Market in the City of Seaside is in support of the City Council's Strategic Priorities of:
• Diverse and inclusive Community
• Community Safety and Quality of Life
FISCAL IMPACT
The authorized agreement amount is not to exceed Twenty Four Thousand Six Hundred dollars ($24,600) a year for the two-year term, and a total contract amount of Forty Nine Thousand Two Hundred dollars ($49,200). The funding source for the agreement is in the City's 2022-2023 Fiscal Year Community Events - Recreation Budget account 100-9220-7134. Forty Seven Thousand ($47,000) was budgeted in the 2022-2023 Fiscal Year budget for the Farmer's Market.

1. INTRODUCTORY LETTER
February 24, 2023
City of Seaside
C/O Dan Meewis
986 Hilby Ave
Seaside, CA 93955
Re: CERTIFIED FARMERS’ MARKET PROPOSAL – CITY OF SEASIDE Dear Mr. Meewis:
Thank you for the opportunity to submit, on behalf of Everyone’s Harvest, this application to create, operate and manage a vibrant, healthy, year-round Certified Farmers’ Market for the City of Seaside.
On behalf of Everyone’s Harvest, I submit for your consideration our proposal to serve the community by operating and managing a year-round Seaside Certified Farmers’ Market. Everyone’s Harvest proposes to operate the market from April 6, 2023 to April 5, 2024 for the amount of $24,600, subject to a contract with a term of two years that includes on-going one-year extensions.
Everyone’s Harvest is a 501(c)3 organization that operates five Certified Farmers’ Markets as well as community food programs in Monterey County. Our mission is to provide access to healthy, affordable fruits and vegetables through certified farmers’ markets and community food programs.
Our vision is for every community to have a fair and sustainable food system.
Everyone’s Harvest has 20 years’ experience operating certified farmers’ markets, beginning with the year-round market in Marina in 2003, expanding to the year-round Pacific Grove market in 2008 and adding three seasonal markets in Salinas at the Natividad Medical Center, Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital, and at the WIC Office in East Salinas that we have operated for over a decade. Certified farmers’ markets (CFMs) are distinguished from other types of outdoor markets by the fact that they are required to have a specific designated area in the market where all the produce, flowers and plants are sold by the farmers who are growing the items, and all the farmers are certified “direct market” producers and thus able to sell at CFMs. Everyone’s Harvest combines our certified farmers’ markets with weekly community events that feature prepared foods and arts to create a larger, festive gathering place, drawing people to the market and giving local restaurants and artisans additional sales opportunities. Yet Everyone’s Harvest farmers’ markets are self-contained enough to embrace a family and community atmosphere while providing the above mentioned assets.
Everyone’s Harvest is particularly interested in serving the Seaside community because, in addition to our certified farmers’ markets, we provide several community food programs, Market Match, Fresh
Packet Page 307
Rx, and Edible Education, that provide a $15 match for CalFresh purchases and a weekly $35 voucher for FreshRx. These programs increase equitable access for low-income community members to affordable, locally grown produce. These programs are not offered by any other farmers’ market operators in Monterey County.
Using data from the US Census on CalFresh (SNAP) federal nutrition benefits use in Seaside and combining these data with information about the percentage of eligible families enrolling in CalFresh from the CalFresh Data Dashboard, we have calculated that approximately 3,000 families may be eligible for CalFresh yet only 896 families are enrolled, according to the 2021 American Community Survey. This indicates an opportunity for growth given that Seaside has a median income of $73,866 as compared to nearby Monterey with a median income of $91,165. With 12.3% of Seaside residents living below the poverty level, we have an opportunity to promote CalFresh with the $15 match available thanks to support from the Market Match program, a matching program funded by a public-private partnership, and Kaiser Permanente.
Everyone’s Harvest was the first farmers’ market in Central California to accept Calfresh benefits at our farmers’ markets, and our Market Match program doubles the value of customers' CalFresh benefits to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables up to $15. That is, for every $15 spent using CalFresh for fruits and vegetables at the farmers’ market, CalFresh recipients receive an extra $15 to buy produce at the market.
In 2022, 984 people using CalFresh bought fresh produce at Everyone’s Harvest farmers’ markets, with 3,817 purchases totaling $92,267 with a $10 match, now increased to $15 for 2023. The annual median total dollar value spent on fresh produce per cardholder was around $500. These purchases not only impact CalFresh recipients’ health and wellbeing, but bring much-needed income to our local small-scale producers, including beginning and Latino farmers.
Fresh Rx is a produce prescription program operated as a partnership between healthcare providers and our farmers' markets. Physicians "prescribe" fresh fruits and vegetables to patients at risk for nutrition insecurity and diet-related illnesses and direct them to Everyone’s Harvest farmers' markets where they receive $35 worth of fresh produce weekly. The Seaside Family Health Center was our first healthcare partner when we established the Fresh Rx program in 2014 with a cohort of eight patients. Since then, we have served 1,000 patients, and we will be expanding the program by 30% this year, including patients referred to us from the Seaside Family Health Center.
Edible Education provides free, in-person cooking demonstrations at the farmers’ markets featuring healthy recipes using market produce. The program has also grown in 2022 to include a Food Navigator who directs community members to resources for healthy, affordable food throughout the county.
Furthermore, Everyone’s Harvest farmers’ markets provide venues where local multicultural, smalland mid-scale farmers can sell culturally relevant produce directly to local consumers, 45.6% of whom are Latinx, 7.1% are Black, and 9.1% are Asian in Seaside, according to the US Census. The demographics of the farmers and vendors who participate in our markets reflect the diversity of Seaside. Also, local food vendors and artisans can sell their products directly to members of the community, local musicians and other performers have the opportunity to entertain their fellow community members, and community groups can educate the public about local programs, events and activities.
Packet Page 308
As the new management staff of Everyone’s Harvest, we also want to acknowledge lessons learned from our former staff who managed a Seaside Farmers’ Market in 2018-2019. Everyone’s Harvest has strengthened its capacity to deliver a successful market for the City of Seaside. Though none of the current staff at Everyone’s Harvest was involved in managing the previous Seaside market, we have learned valuable lessons. First of all, we now have the services of the marketing and public relations consultant, Marci Bracco, of The Buzz, LLC, to assist us in launching a much more aggressive advertising campaign to publicize the farmers’ market than was possible in 2018-2019. Second, we have valuable community input about features of farmers’ markets desired by Seaside residents, as surveyed by the Blue Zones Project. Third, we have an energetic and enthusiastic team of staff and board members who have deep ties to the local community and are well-connected to the local small-scale farmers, artisans, and small businesses who contribute to the vibrant ambiance of our farmers’ markets. My staff are well-positioned to inform and support the planning and opening of a new market, and many of our participating vendors have already expressed interest in participating in a Seaside farmers’ market.
In closing, Mr. Meewis, I want to express from all of us at Everyone’s Harvest how excited we are to present this proposal to start and operate the Seaside Certified Farmers’ Market with the option to extend the contract until 2025. We are requesting approval of this Everyone’s Harvest – City of Seaside Year-round Certified Farmers’ Market Proposal. The Seaside Farmers’ Market will provide a bounty of healthy produce and community outreach activities to the City of Seaside and Monterey County.
I look forward to hearing from you regarding the status of our application. Please contact me with any additional questions or need for additional information. Thank you for your time and consideration of this proposal.
Sincerely,
Hester Parker, PhD
Executive Director

3. QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE
Everyone’s Harvest (EH) operates the following five Certified Farmers’ Markets:
1. Marina Certified Farmers’ Market since 2003
2. Pacific Grove Certified Farmers’ Market since 2008
3. Natividad Medical Center Certified Farmers’ Market in partnership with NMC since 2010
4. Alisal Certified Farmers’ Market at the Monterey County Health Department’s WIC office at 632 E. Alisal Street in East Salinas since 2011.
5. Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital Certified Farmers’ Market since 2013 Certified Farmers’ Markets are distinguished from farmers’ markets by the fact that all of the vendors who sell produce in a Certified Farmers’ Market are required to be certified California producers who grow what they sell. EH has been continuously certified by the California Department of Food and Agriculture to operate certified farmers’ markets for 20 years, beginning with the Marina Farmers’ Market. We also update the following on a yearly basis: 1. health permits for each farmers’ market with the Monterey County Health Department’s Environmental Health Bureau; 2. business licenses with the respective cities within which we operate; and 3. fire department permits where applicable.
Upon opening each new farmers’ market, EH obtained conditional use permits from the respective cities where we operate the market.
Our certified farmers’ markets and community food programs focus on serving families impacted by nutrition insecurity and diet-related chronic health conditions in historically underserved Monterey County communities. We pioneered the use of electronic benefits transfer (CalFresh, the CA version of SNAP EBT) access at its farmers' markets long before other markets in Central California. The Natividad Certified Farmers’ Market at Natividad Medical Center (NMC) and the Salinas Valley Memorial Certified Farmers’ Market provide Fresh Rx programs in collaboration with the healthcare providers on site. The Marina Certified Farmers’ Market and Alisal Certified Farmers’ Market that operates outside of the MCHD Women, Infants, and Children’s (WIC) program office in East Salinas provide the Fresh Rx produce prescription program to patients enrolled through Monterey County Clinic Services and Clinica de Salud del Valle de Salinas.
In 2014, EH was the first–and remains the only–farmers’ market organization in the county to implement a produce prescription program, Fresh Rx, in partnership with the Seaside Family Health Center. Through Fresh Rx, families served by Monterey County Clinic Services are prescribed $35 worth of fresh produce by their physicians and access its benefits by receiving fresh produce vouchers, nutrition education and information about affordable food resources/access points throughout the county from EH staff at the weekly farmers’ markets. Fresh Rx participants can immediately purchase culturally valued produce directly from the limited-resource, multi-cultural farmers who sell at the markets. The Fresh Rx program at the Seaside Family Health Center was temporarily suspended in 2020, but EH has secured funding in 2023 to reinstate the program at the clinic in partnership with Monterey County Clinic Services.
EH’s additional community food programs include Edible Education–cooking demonstrations, workshops and nutritional tastings–that teach nutrition and cooking skills using produce from the markets, and Market Match, which doubles the spending power, up to $15, of families buying produce at farmers’ markets using CalFresh (SNAP) benefits.

4. WORKPLAN
Everyone’s Harvest’s vision for the Seaside Certified Farmers’ Market is to have a new shopping experience for the City of Seaside. Community members will have the opportunity to move away from the large impersonal supermarket experience to a lively outdoor social marketplace featuring fresh, local produce and supporting local small-scale multicultural farmers and locally-owned restaurants and artisans.
The market will:
❖ Create an outdoor marketplace for the local community ❖ Increase business for sustainable and organic small-scale farmers, local artisans, and local businesses
❖ Attract additional tourists to the City of Seaside
❖ Bring people from diverse backgrounds together
❖ Support farmer/consumer relationships
❖ Create a platform for Seaside restaurants and local groups to reach out to the public ❖ Establish free booth spaces for local nonprofits, community groups and school clubs, with a minimum of three (3) free spaces reserved weekly for the City and/or non-profit groups selected by the City
❖ Allow volunteers and students to participate in the production of the market ❖ Provide a venue for musicians and entertainers to perform The primary development strategy is to create a market where all of the produce available is local, sustainably grown, primarily organic, and to provide a social event where people come together. The market as a social event will be provided through seating, free live music, entertainment, a children’s activity table, a community information booth, and free booth spaces for local community groups.
Locals can transform their grocery shopping experience from an individual task to a fun public weekly gathering. The market will be a place where the community can come together.
Products sold to customers by vendors will be:
❖ Fresh, local, and sustainably grown fruits and vegetables ❖ Delicious prepared foods
❖ Artisan foods and crafts
(non-food items will be limited to a maximum of 25% of vendor sales dedicated to non-food products)
Services provided by the organization will be:
❖ Event Coordination

❖ Recycle, trash, and compost bins
Packet Page 313
❖ Staff and volunteers to assist in advertising the market, organizing special events at the market and help with vendor set up and break down
The key to success will be to connect small-scale farmers with Seaside’s authentic restaurants and involve local residents in the creation and operation of the market.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
SEASIDE CERTIFIED FARMERS’ MARKET SERVICES:
The Seaside Certified Farmers’ Market will include certified California growers, prepared food, local artisans, and performers. The market will include a Market Information Booth staffed by Everyone’s
Packet Page 314
Harvest. Under this scope of work, the City of Seaside will be invoiced for market costs up to a total not to exceed $24,600 per year.
Below is the list of identified projects and services Everyone’s Harvest anticipates providing to the City of Seaside under this scope of work from April 6, 2023 to April 5, 2024 and April 6, 2024 to April 5, 2025, if the contract is extended for a second year. The proposal includes a total of 42 markets in the first year from an anticipated start date during the week of May 28, 2023 to April, 2024 and, if the contract is extended for a second year, 50 markets from April 2024 to April 2025. The markets will be closed for two weeks between the Christmas and New Year’s Day holidays in 2023-2024 and 2024-2025.
Based on feedback from the Seaside community survey and vendor surveys, we are proposing that the market occurs every Thursday from 3:00pm to 7:00 pm, Saturday from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, or Saturday from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Sunday from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM was the least popular choice based on the Seaside community and vendor survey results, and would be the most logistically challenging for Everyone’s Harvest, given that our weekly Sunday market in Marina occurs from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
Project Details and Timeline for Seaside Certified Farmers’ Market:
1. Everyone’s Harvest estimates employees will spend an average of 22 hours a week between four employees on the Seaside Certified Farmers’ Market on and off site.
2. Two months before the market grand opening: Current scope of work defines these activities from April to May 28, 2023:
a. Determine with the City of Seaside the location, parking, day and time and grand opening date of the market.
b. Obtain the following permits which necessitates, at minimum, a six week time period from the date that the market’s physical location is determined. Permits cannot be issued before the market operator, location, day, and time of the market are determined:
i. California Department of Food and Agriculture certified farmers’ market certificate,
ii. Health permit from the Monterey County Health Department’s Environmental Health Bureau,
iii. Business license from the City of Seaside,
iv. Fire department inspection and permits where applicable, v. WIC Farmers Market and Senior Market Nutrition Programs Farmers Market authorization,
vi. CalFresh/Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)/Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) authorization (takes a minimum of six weeks). c. Recruit vendors; farmers and local businesses,

9. APPENDIX C: LOAD IN AND LOAD OUT PLANS & SITE MAPS FOR THREE
PROPOSED MARKET LOCATIONS
1. Broadway
2. City Hall
3. Oldemeyer Center Plan #1
4. Oldemeyer Center Plan #2
Broadway Farmers’ Market Load In and Load Out Plan for the Everyone’s Harvest (EH) Certified Farmers’ Market (CFM)
Traffic Control Plan
The City of Seaside will supply “No Parking” and “Detour” signs as well as traffic barriers prior to the beginning of the market ( three saw horses fitted with two barricades between them or similar barricades at each intersection). Two hours before the start of the market, “No Parking” signs will be placed along Broadway prohibiting parking in all spaces between Hillsdale and Alhambra streets.
Signs can be set-up as earlier in the day as the city recommends, but no later than an hour before the start of the market. One hour before the start of the market, traffic barriers will be placed simultaneously (this requires two staff members if City staff are not available to assist) across Broadway at the intersections of Alhambra and Hillsdale streets, allowing traffic to flow on Alhambra and Hillsdale streets. “Detour ahead” signs will be placed at the intersections of Broadway with Calaveras and Contra Costa streets, and “Detour” signs will be placed on the traffic barriers across Broadway, directing traffic to turn right and left on Hillsdale and Alhambra streets.
All cars must be removed from market areas once the streets are closed. Staff will visit nearby businesses and try to find the owners of any remaining cars. If no owners can be found, then staff will contact City of Seaside non-emergency police dispatch at: (831) 394-6811 for help contacting owners and towing cars as a last resort if needed.
Vendors may begin to enter the market area from the side street closest to their booth space and from both the west and east ends of Broadway an hour before the market opens. Vendors will be directed by market staff to their assigned booth spaces, providing a map to vendors and using chalk to delineate the boundaries of each vendor’s designated space. Everyone’s Harvest applies the following protocol to the market set up (from Everyone’s Harvest Rules and Regulations):
Weather permitting, the EH Market Manager will close off the market site at least one hour before market opening.
Participants shall arrive at least 30 minutes before the start of the EH CFM(s) or their space may be occupied by another vendor. Participants with Temporary Food Facilities Facility permits must arrive at least 60 minutes before the opening of the market or they will not be allowed to sell at the EH CFM on that day. Participants that fail to be in attendance 30 minutes before the start of the EH CFM are considered late.
No Participant may leave the EH CFM(s) before the EH CFM(s) closes without permission.
Leaving early may cause the Participant to be excluded from future EH CFMs.
A Participant is not allowed to enter the EH CFM(s) after EH CFM(s) starting time without EH Market Manager approval and supervision.
Packet Page 327
Auto and truck flow must not endanger pedestrians. Participants entering the EH CFM(s) area must drive very carefully and always under 3mph. If a Participant needs to move any cones or barricades to get their vehicle in or out of the EH CFM area, they must be immediately replaced after entering or exiting. If any Participant does not follow the above procedure, they will be fined and/or subject to being excluded from selling at EH CFM(s).
Participant parking is the sole discretion of the EH Market Manager.
Market Set-up
After placing barricades, two “Farmers’Market Ahead” signs will be placed on Del Monte Avenue and Fremont Avenue. A third and fourth sign will be placed along Broadway between Contra Costa and Hillsdale and between Calaveras and Alhambra streets.
Certified Producer Area Signs
Certified Producer signs will be set up with arrows that face each other to designate the certified producer section of the farmers’ market. As part of Certified Farmers Market regulations, we must designate the specific area in which the certified producers are located.
Certified producer farms are inspected by the County to determine that the fruits, vegetables, and other agricultural products they sell are in fact grown on their farms.
If using the chalkboard signs, we will set one up next to the vendor that starts the certified producer area and one on the other side next to the vendor at the end of the certified producer area.
Information Booth General Set Up
A table under a tent will be set up facing the customers at the market (see map). A green banner with the label “Market Manager/ information/ EBT” will be attached to the front of the tent.
Printed materials, including The Edible Magazine, food resource pamphlets, rack cards, EBT/Market Match info cards, and recipes will be placed on the table and/or on a magazine rack. The table will also include voucher cards and EBT machines. A speaker will also be available to play music during times when musicians are not scheduled to play.
Recycling, trash, and compost bins will be placed close to the info table to enable staff to monitor the trash levels and replace trash bags if needed.
Market Info Sandwich Boards: Three white No Dogs/We accept EBT signs will be placed at both market entrances at the Hillsdale and Alhambra street ends of the market and another in the middle of the block. Two green EBT/Market Match sandwich board signs will be placed at either side of the white sign in the middle of the market and/or at either side of the info table.
Closing Down the Market
Participant Traffic Control: All participants will be given at least one hour after the market to break down their booths and exit from the market entrance closest to their booth space. The market staff will direct vendors where to exit and monitor the traffic barricades to ensure that they are maintained in place after each vendor leaves.
Packet Page 328
Sign and Equipment Removal: Staff will first collect the sandwich board signs from Del Monte and Fremont Avenue and along Broadway between Contra Costa and Hillsdale and between Calaveras and Alhambra streets. Staff will load all remaining EH signs, tent, table, and chairs.
Traffic Barricade Removal: Staff will wait until the last vendor has left before taking down the barricades across the two market entrances, removing the barricades at either end of Broadway simultaneously.
Port-a-potty and Trash Removal: If necessary, staff will lock up the port-a-potty after asking if any vendors still in the area need to use it. All trash, recycling, and food waste will be removed by EH staff from the premises and disposed of at the EH offices.

Oldemeyer Plan #1 Farmers’ Market Load-In and Load-Out Plan Since exiting the Oldemeyer Center parking lot onto Hilby Avenue is currently prohibited, we are requesting that the City of Seaside supply a temporary or semi permanent traffic control sign (Exit, Right Turn Only) during market operating hours at the corner entrance of the Oldemeyer parking lot located on Hilby Avenue. This will allow patrons and staff to exit the market safely and provide handicapped, customer and staff parking (refer to Oldemeyer 1& 2 sitemaps).
One hour before the start of the market, traffic barriers will be placed simultaneously (this requires two staff members if City staff are not available to assist) across the parking lot between the facade of the Oldemeyer Center and the opposite side of the parking lot (approximately 100 feet from the Hilby entrance) and across the parking lot at the entrance/exit turning onto Wheeler Street.
All cars must be removed from market areas once both entrances of the market are closed off. Staff will check in the Oldemeyer Center and visit any nearby businesses to try to find the owners of any remaining cars. If no owners can be found, then staff will contact City of Seaside non-emergency police dispatch at: (831) 394-6811 for help contacting owners and towing cars as a last resort if needed.
Vendors may begin to enter the market from both entrances to the Oldemeyer parking lot off of Hilby and Wheeler one hour before the market opens. Vendors will be directed by market staff to their assigned booth spaces, providing a map to vendors and using chalk to delineate the boundaries of each vendor’s designated space. Everyone’s Harvest applies same protocols to the market set up (from Everyone’s Harvest Rules and Regulations) as listed under the Broadway Farmers’ Market set-up described above, except for the following modifications:
Market Set-up
After traffic barricades have been placed, three “ Farmers Market Ahead” signs will be placed at the intersections of Hilby and Fremont, Hilby and Wheeler, and Hilby and Noche Buena.
Market Info Sandwich Boards: Three white No Dogs/We accept EBT signs will be placed at both market entrances and another in the middle of the parking lot. Two green EBT/Market Match sandwich board signs will be placed at either side of the white sign in the middle of the market and/or at either side of the info table.

Oldemeyer Plan #2 Alternate Farmers’ Market Load-In and Load-Out Plan One hour before the start of the market, traffic barriers will be placed simultaneously (this requires two staff members if City staff are not available to assist) across the entrance of the Oldemeyer Center parking lot at Hilby and across the parking lot approximately 100 ft from the entrance/exit on Wheeler Street. This traffic control configuration will accommodate temporary handicapped parking spots adjacent to the Wheeler Street exit (refer to Oldemeyer 1& 2 sitemaps).
The Oldermeyer Plan #1 is the preferred load-in and load-out plan, as there is designated handicapped parking already available and marked at the Hilby Avenue entrance. If the existing traffic control signage cannot be temporarily changed at the Hilby entrance, as recommended in the Oldemeyer 1 plan, to allow for patrons and vendors to exit at this location, handicapped parking spots would no longer be available if the parking lot is closed at the Hilby entrance. Handicapped parking is currently only located in the parking area adjacent to Hilby Avenue.
In this Oldemeyer 2 plan, for the duration of the market each week, the City of Seaside will supply temporary handicapped parking signage and dividers for designated handicapped parking spaces adjacent to the Wheeler Street entrance, allowing patrons and staff to exit the market safely and providing both handicapped, customer and staff parking.
All cars must be removed from market areas once both entrances of the market are closed off. Staff will check in the Oldemeyer Center and visit any nearby businesses to try to find the owners of any remaining cars. If no owners can be found, then staff will contact City of Seaside non-emergency police dispatch at: (831) 394-6811 for help contacting owners and towing cars as a last resort if needed.
Vendors may begin to enter the market from both entrances to the Oldemeyer parking lot entrances off of both Hilby and Wheeler one hour before the market opens.

CONSULTANT hereby waives its own right of recovery against AGENCY, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its sub-consultants.
Enforcement of contract provisions (non estoppel). CONSULTANT acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the AGENCY to inform CONSULTANT of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the AGENCY nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type.

Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the AGENCY.

CONSULTANT agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. CONSULTANT agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to AGENCY for review.
Agency’s right to revise specifications. The AGENCY reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the CONSULTANT ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the CONSULTANT, the AGENCY and CONSULTANT may renegotiate CONSULTANT’s compensation.
