RESOLUTION APPROVING A DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH RBH

STOCKTON OZ PROJECT, LLC FOR THE SOUTH POINTE PROJECT

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution:

1. Approving a Disposition and Development Agreement between the City of Stockton and RBH Stockton OZ Project, LLC for the South Pointe Project;

2. Authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to execute the Disposition and Development Agreement with RBH Stockton OZ Project, LLC;

3. Authorizing the filing of Notice of Exemption No. 01-24 under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the disposition of real property for parcels which make up the South Pointe properties;

4. Authorizing the disposition of four City-owned parcels which make up the South Pointe properties, in accordance with the Disposition and Development Agreement;

5. Authorizing budgeting, and receiving of revenue associated with disposition of four City-owned parcels which make up the South Pointe properties; and

6. Authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to take whatever actions are necessary and appropriate to carry out the purpose and intent of this resolution.

Summary
On December 15, 2020, City Council approved an Exclusive Negotiating Rights Agreement (ENRA) with RBH Group, LLC for a proposed mixed-used development project at South Pointe, located along West Weber Avenue (Attachment A - Vicinity Map, Attachment B - Aerial Map, and Attachment C - Conceptual Rendering). The ENRA was the culmination of a Request for Interest and Qualifications (RFI/Q) process, whereby RBH Group was selected to bring both market-rate and workforce housing, commercial retail, education, and community space to the downtown waterfront.

Over the course of the ENRA process, City staff negotiated a purchase agreement in the form of a Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) to facilitate the development of the site. Concurrent to the negotiations, City staff successfully pursued a grant from the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) to remediate the site in preparation for development due to its long history of industrial uses. The planning efforts for the site remediation are underway and the site cleanup is anticipated to commence during Q2 2024.

File #: 24-0021, Version: 1
As a result of reaching these milestones, it is recommended that the City enter into a DDA with RBH Group, LLC for the South Pointe Project, which will outline the terms and conditions for the property disposition.

DISCUSSION
Background
The property known as South Pointe is approximately 9.12 acres of four vacant contiguous parcels located on the west end of the downtown waterfront along the south shore of the Stockton Channel.

Historical documents identify that the previous use of the site consisted of storage and warehouse facilities from at least 1895 to sometime after 1979. In the 1980’s, the former Redevelopment Agency of the City of Stockton purchased numerous properties on the south shore of the Channel, including South Pointe, for potential redevelopment but the projects did not come to fruition. By 1996, the subject property was vacant in its entirety and continues to remain vacant.

In 2015, as required by legislation enacted after the elimination of redevelopment agencies, the Successor Agency to the former Redevelopment Agency of the City of Stockton prepared a Long Range Property Management Plan (LRPMP) which governed the disposition and use of the properties owned by the former Redevelopment Agency. The LRPMP identified the South Pointe site as a feasible mixed-use waterfront development attributing to the City’s vested interest in ensuring the Marina remains a viable enterprise and major contributor to the overall success of the downtown waterfront and subsequent new development.

The redevelopment of the South Pointe site is consistent with both City planning documents and historical reports specific to downtown redevelopment. The Envision Stockton 2040 General Plan, adopted in 2018, concentrates higher-intensity mixed uses and high-density residential uses in the downtown with a live/work/play environment along the waterfront to further boost the downtown’s vitality. Policy LU-2.1 in the adopted General Plan encourages the City to “Promote the downtown and waterfront as a hub for regional commerce and entertainment, with high-quality housing to complement commercial activity and to infuse the area with daytime, evening, and weekend activity.” To support the community’s vision and align prior studies for a more vibrant downtown and waterfront, the General Plan changed the existing land use from industrial to downtown commercial allowing multifamily, commercial, and retail land uses with the certification of the Environmental Impact Report for the Envision Stockton 2040 General Plan.

In 2022, the City Council adopted the City’s Economic Development Strategic Action Plan (EDSAP), which identified infrastructure as a key focus area to advance economic opportunities. Furthermore, Investment Area 4 of the EDSAP seeks to “transform downtown into a thriving connected City Center,” through infrastructure improvements and placemaking efforts that would result in a central identifying hub for the city to enable businesses to thrive, attracting external visitors, and bringing in residents through the development of full-spectrum housing.

The EDSAP’s suggested initiative of incentivizing full-spectrum housing development identifies the importance of obtaining brownfield redevelopment grants to support this effort to increase commercial activity, increase residential housing, and bolster the feasibility for a grocery store in downtown.

City of Stockton Printed on 2/2/2024Page 2 of 6

File #: 24-0021, Version: 1
These objectives are consistent with a report produced by the Urban Land Institute in February 2012, which elevated the importance of downtown and waterfront redevelopment with a focus on infill development opportunities.

In June 2020, the City released a Request for Interest/Qualifications (RFI/Q) to solicit project concept statements for the South Pointe site that would address the City’s goals and objectives for the downtown waterfront area, including:
· Incorporate high-quality design elements to reflect the unique waterfront location and its proximity to the Delta;
· Stimulate the downtown waterfront south shore area with increased foot traffic and activities; · Generate long-term revenue through sales and/or property taxes; · Development that coincides with the 2040 General Plan and zoning guidelines that would promote a live/work/play environment; and
· Logical concepts that would enhance the quality of life for Stockton residents, visitors, businesses, and their employees.

Through the RFI/Q selection process, RBH Group was selected for Council recommendation.

On December 15, 2020, City Council approved an Exclusive Negotiating Rights Agreement (ENRA) with RBH Group, LLC for a proposed mixed-used development project at South Pointe. The proposed project included both market-rate and workforce housing, commercial retail, education, and community space to the downtown waterfront (Attachment D - Resolution 2020-12-15-1403).

In May 2021, the City Council deemed the four (4) parcels, contiguously known as South Pointe, as surplus and authorized the creation of a development agreement for the subject properties (Attachment E - Resolution 2021-05-11-1204). Pursuant to the State of California Surplus Land Act, a notice for the subject site was sent to the appropriate agencies with no responses received.

Concurrent to the ENRA negotiations, environmental investigations were being conducted on various brownfield sites under a 2018 grant from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which included the South Pointe site. As a result of the investigations, City staff identified a key barrier to future development of the site - due to its historical industrial uses, the vacant site contains contaminated soil that requires remediation to facilitate redevelopment.

As a result of the findings, in March 2022, the City Council authorized the submittal of a grant application under the California Department of Toxic Substances Control’s (DTSC) Equitable Community Revitalization Grant (ECRG) Program (Attachment F - Resolution 2022-03-22-1210).

Utilizing information from the EPA grant activities, the City received a $5.25 million grant under the ECRG Program for the cleanup of the South Pointe site. The City of Stockton will be performing the cleanup work and will turn over the site to RBH for development in accordance with DDA. The necessary remedial planning documents are currently being drafted and are anticipated to be completed in Q1 2024.

Present Situation
The proposed DDA with RBH demonstrates a critical step forward in achieving the City’s goals and vision for a thriving and vibrant downtown waterfront in Stockton after three years of negotiations.

RBH’s proposed mixed-use development project on four (4) City-owned legal parcels totals approximately 9.12 acres located north of West Weber Avenue along the Stockton Channel in the downtown area (Project). The proposed Project on the vacant site will consist of market rate, workforce, and independent living senior residential units; retail space; community/civic space; parking; and ancillary site improvements such as landscaping, lighting, and drainage facilities.

The proposed DDA outlines each parties’ responsibilities and milestones in preparation of property disposition, including:
· Project description;
· Developer responsibilities;
· City’s responsibilities including site remediation;
· Phased development milestones and conveyances where:
o Phase 1 shall include no fewer than 300 housing units, including independent living senior housing, 4,000 square feet of educational space, infrastructure, and 16,000 square feet of retail and/or community facility space; and o Phase 2 shall include no fewer than 220 housing units. · Inclusionary housing restrictions that require no less than 15% of residential units in each phase be developed and reserved as affordable for lower income households; · CEQA compliance;
· Schedule of performance;
· License and Maintenance Agreement for the existing shared public space; The DDA outlines the minimum number of housing units that will be included in the project, but the developer may maximize density to include additional units in accordance with applicable code and zoning.

As part of the next steps, the proposed Project will go before the Planning Commission for approval for a Commissions Use Permit, which is required for any new construction in the Channel Overlay Zoning District where South Pointe is located. The Planning Commission will be asked to consider approval of a Use Permit enabling the Project to be developed and, in turn, permitting RBH to continue its planning efforts. The Planning Commission will also be asked to consider adoption of an Addendum to the 2040 General Plan EIR and its Mitigation and Monitoring Program to achieve compliance with CEQA. Entering into a DDA prior to these items is pertinent in ensuring agency responsibilities before allowing the developer to move forward with design and other approvals needed to move the project forward.

The proposed DDA with RBH Group demonstrates a number of community benefits, including:
· Fulfilling the City’s General Plan goal of supporting high-quality housing to complement commercial activity and infuse daytime, evening, and weekend activity in the downtown and waterfront;
City of Stockton Printed on 2/2/2024Page 4 of 6
powered by Legistar™
595
File #: 24-0021, Version: 1
· Provide mixed-income, multi-generational housing to further diversify the downtown population;
· Public improvements to enhance the walkability of the waterfront area; · Hundreds of millions of dollars in private investment that would be realized through the development of new buildings, new commercial space for businesses, future place of employment, and help spur additional private investment in the downtown and waterfront area; · The generation of annual tax revenue through sales tax from commercial businesses as well as property taxes, which would support the ongoing operations of the City, San Joaquin County, and school districts;
· Supporting and showcasing local artists with the installation of artwork, such as murals, sculptures, installations, and/or other forms of artwork in the Project area; and · Activating an otherwise vacant property that would support surrounding existing businesses and increase foot traffic along the promenade along the west end of the southern waterfront.

The development of the DDA involved substantial coordination and due diligence that included legal drafting by the law firm Burke, Williams & Sorensen (BWS), as well as a pro forma review by Economic & Planning Systems (EPS). The work performed by BWS ensured that the DDA contained adequate definitions, milestones, exits for all parties involved, and to provide consistency with the Surplus Land Act. The pro forma review by EPS focused on the developer’s operational model and assumptions to provide certainty around project feasibility.

Staff recommends approval and execution of the DDA with RBH Stockton OZ Project, LLC for the development of the South Pointe project. As outlined in the DDA, the City will prepare an Initial Study to assess the environmental effects of implementing the pending Remediation Document and developing the Project. The City reserves full discretion to take all steps necessary to comply with CEQA prior to the City’s action on entitlements for the Project, DTSC’s action on the Remediation Document, or transfer of the properties.

NOTIFICATION
As required for the lease or sale of real property, and in accordance with provisions of Article V, Section 510, of the Charter of the City of Stockton, a notice was published in the official newspaper of the City at least ten (10) days before such action is taken. A public notice was published in the legal notice section of The Record
on January 25, 2024.

ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE
It has been determined by the Community Development Department that the disposition of the subject parcels is Categorically Exempt under California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15061(B)(3). The activity constitutes a discretionary project under the City’s jurisdiction and qualifies as a project which has been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment and therefore, is exempt from the provisions of CEQA under the above-noted statutory or categorical exemption(s).

In accordance with Section 65402 of the Government Code, it has been determined that the proposed property sale is neutral in regard to conformity with the Stockton General Plan.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
The City has spent many staff hours and approximately $300,000 in grant funding on environmental cleanup and site preparation in anticipation of developing this property.

If approved by Council, and upon close of escrow of the property, the gross amount of $3,500,000 will be deposited into the redevelopment successor agency account, less closing costs, legal fees, filing fees, and miscellaneous fees, including reimbursement to City departments for costs incurred in the preparation and administration of the disposition and agreement, to be transferred after the sale.

The disposition of the surplus property is consistent with the Amended Long Range Property Management Plan, which contemplated the site as a future mixed-use development.

The long-term fiscal impacts of the development include an anticipated increase in property tax revenue and sales tax revenue associated with the new housing and retail units.

This Agreement shall not obligate either the City or Developer to enter into any other agreement or an agreement containing any particular terms, to acquire any property, or to convey any property to Developer. Failure of the Parties to reach an agreement on the terms and conditions of a Purchase Agreement shall not, by itself, constitute a failure on the part of either party to negotiate in good faith.

POSITION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
(South Pointe Project)
This DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is dated as of February ____, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), by and between the CITY OF STOCKTON, a chartered municipal corporation (the “City”) and RBH STOCKTON OZ PROJECT, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Developer”). The City and Developer may be referred to individually as a “Party” or together as the “Parties.”

RECITALS
A. Capitalized terms used but not defined in these Recitals shall have the meaning set forth in Section 1.0 below.

B. The City is the owner of approximately 9.12 acres of real property bounded by West Weber Avenue, Mormon Slough, the Stockton Downtown Marina, and the Stockton Channel located at 701-855 W. Weber Avenue and generally identified as San Joaquin Assessor Parcel Numbers 145-270-06 and 145-270-10, the unimproved portion of San Joaquin Assessor Parcel Number 145-190-03 and 145-270-09, and an unnumbered parcel consisting of right of way to be vacated by the City (“Right of Way”), all as depicted in Exhibit A (the “Disposition Property”). The City also owns and will retain fee ownership of a portion of the property identified as San Joaquin Assessor Parcel Number 145-190-03 that is improved with a park, as depicted in Exhibit B (“Park Property”) and the portion of the property identified as San Joaquin Assessor Parcel Number 145-270-09 improved with restrooms and part of a parking lot, as depicted in Exhibit C in red outline (“City Facilities Property”) and a paved walkway along the perimeter of the Disposition Property (the “Promenade”). Collectively, the Disposition Property, the Park Property, the City Facilities Property, and the Promenade may be referred to as the “Site.” The Parties agree to cause a written legal description of the Disposition Property to be prepared, which upon written approval of the Parties shall be appended to this Agreement and incorporated into Exhibit A.

C. On June 25, 2020, City issued a Request for Interest and Qualifications for development of the Site, to which the Developer responded. On December 16, 2020, City and Developer entered into an Exclusive Negotiating Rights Agreement (“ENRA”) to negotiate a purchase agreement in the form of a Disposition and Development Agreement to facilitate the development of the Site as described herein. Negotiations were paused so that City could comply with new notice requirements under the Surplus Land Act.

D. On May 11, 2021, by Resolution 2021-05-11-1204 the City Council declared the Disposition Property to be surplus and thereafter, in compliance with the Surplus Land Act (Government Code section 54220 et seq.), the City issued a notice of availability pursuant to Section 54222 of the Surplus Lands Act. The City received no notices of interest from any local affordable housing sponsors or other preferred purchasers in response to its initial 60-day notice.

E. The purpose of this Agreement is to advance City's purposes and goals in facilitating the construction of a mixed-use development on the Disposition Property known as “The Village at South Pointe,” or such other name as may be mutually agreed upon by the EXHIBIT 1
615

2 Parties (the “Project”) and to memorialize the obligation that not less than 15 percent of the total number of residential units developed on the Disposition Property shall be sold or rented at affordable housing cost, as defined in Section 50052.5 of the Health and Safety Code, or affordable rent, as defined in Section 50053 of the Health and Safety Code, to lower income households, as defined in Section 50079.5 of the Health and Safety Code as provided under Section 54233 of the Surplus Land Act.

F. The Disposition Property is currently unimproved. The Park Property is developed with a landscaped area with seating, lighting fixtures and decorative sculptures. The City Facilities Property is developed with a sidewalk, drive aisle, parking spaces, and restrooms, and the Promenade is developed with a paved walkway along the Disposition Property’s perimeter.

G. The Project will consist of mixed-income residential housing, retail space, community/civic space, and parking developed in two phases on the Disposition Property that, upon completion, shall include no fewer than 300 units (including independent living senior housing), 4,000 square feet of educational space, 16,000 sf of retail and/or community serving facility space within Phase 1 (as defined below), and 220 units of housing, including market rate and affordable housing, within Phase 2 (as defined below).

H. On December 4, 2018, the City adopted the Envision Stockton 2040 General Plan Update (“General Plan”) and certified an Environmental Impact Report for the General Plan (“General Plan EIR”). The General Plan includes the Site within the Commercial Downtown (CD) land use designation, permitting commercial office, high density residential development, tourist and lodging oriented uses, and governmental facilities. The Site’s zoning is consistent with the General Plan designation. The Project is consistent with the land uses, density, and development intensities allowed under the General Plan and the zoning applicable to the Site.

I. On May 4, 2020, the City performed a Phase I Assessment of the Site which revealed the presence of certain contaminants on the Site as more particularly described therein (“Phase I Assessment”). In December 2021, the City performed a Phase II Assessment of the Site (“Phase II Assessment”). The City and its consultant, Stantec, are working with the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (“DTSC”) to remediate the Disposition Property and the Park Property. DTSC has awarded an approximately $5.2 million grant to City (“DTSC Grant”) that City will use to remediate the Site prior to any disposition or development of the Project. Site remediation will occur pursuant to remediation document approved by DTSC, which may be a Removal Action Work Plan or a Remedial Action Plan (“Remediation Document”).

J. To comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), the City will prepare an Initial Study to asses the environmental effects of implementing the Remediation Document and developing the Project as compared with the environmental effects already analyzed in the General Plan EIR, with which the Project is consistent. The City reserves full discretion to take all steps necessary to comply with CEQA prior to the City’s action on entitlements for the Project, DTSC’s action on the Remediation Document, or transfer of the Disposition Property.

EXHIBIT 1
616

3 K. The Parties wish to enter into this Agreement to set forth the terms and conditions relating to City's disposition of the Disposition Property to Developer following completion of the remediation of the Site.

NOW, THEREFORE, in reliance on the Recitals above, which are incorporated by reference herein with the same force and effect as any other term and condition of this Agreement, and in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements and conditions set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged by the Parties, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

11 3. REMEDIATION

3.1 Government Funded Remediation.

3.1.1 The City shall cause the Site to be remediated (“Remediation Work”) pursuant to a Remediation Document approved by DTSC and obtain approval of the Remediation Work from DTSC.

3.1.2 Prior to submitting the Remediation Document to DTSC, the City shall provide the Developer with a draft copy and at least five (5) business days to submit comments regarding the Remediation Document to the City.

3.1.3 City shall obtain DTSC’s approval of the Remediation Document, commence the Remediation Work, and diligently prosecute the Remediation Work to completion within the times stated in the Schedule of Performance, subject to excused performance as provided under Section 10 of this Agreement.

3.1.4 Thereafter, City shall obtain approval of the Remediation Work from DTSC and any other government agency having jurisdiction over the Remediation Work (“Remediation Approval”).

When City has obtained Remediation Approval, City shall provide notice to Developer (“Notice of Remediation Approval”).

3.2 Remediation Funding Shortfall. If the cost of the Remediation Work as required by appropriate government agencies having jurisdiction (“Remediation Cost”) is determined to exceed the DTSC Grant, the City shall use reasonable diligence to identify and apply for an additional grant from DTSC or another government agency (“Additional Remediation Funding.”) If Additional Remediation Funding is required and no Additional Remediation Funding is received by the City or the Additional Remediation Funding is insufficient, Section

3.2.1 or Section 3.2.2 shall apply.

3.2.1 City Contribution Obligation. If the Remediation Cost exceeds the sum of the DTSC Grant and any Additional Remediation Funding, or the DTSC Grant if no Additional Remediation Funding is obtained, and the remaining cost to remediate the Property is determined not to exceed the Purchase Price, City shall proceed with the transaction, provide Notice to Developer that City has made the City Contribution (the “City Contribution Notice”) and contribute City’s own funds toward the remaining portion of the Remediation Cost (the “City Contribution”); provided, however, that the City shall have no obligation to contribute more than the amount of the Purchase Price as the City Contribution. In the event that the City EXHIBIT 1
625

12 Contribution exceeds the Purchase Price, the City shall provide notice to Developer (“City Shortfall Notice”) and the provisions set forth in Section 3.2.2 of this Agreement shall apply.

3.2.2 Developer Funding Termination Right.

3.3 Release of Escrow Funds. If Developer provides the Developer Funding Election Notice and the Developer Contribution, then within thirty (30) days after receipt of the same, City and Developer shall provide a joint Notice and instructions, signed by the Parties, to Escrow Holder seeking the release of the Developer Contribution for purposes of funding the Remediation Cost.

3.4 Completion of Remediation Work. Upon receipt of the Developer Contribution and/or any Additional Remediation Funding and making the City Contribution, City shall complete the Remediation Work and obtain Remediation Approval subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.1 of this Agreement.

4. DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT.

4.1 Phased Conveyance. City agrees to sell to Developer, and Developer agrees to purchase from City, the Disposition Property in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The purchase and sale transaction shall occur via two (2) conveyances (each, a “Phase Conveyance”). The boundaries of the portion of the Disposition Property included within each Phase Conveyance shall be determined in connection with the Project Approvals. City shall make each Phase Conveyance by execution and delivery of a Grant Deed.

4.2 Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Disposition Property is Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000) (“Purchase Price”).

4.3 Scope of Development. The Disposition Property must be used as a mixed-use project with at least the “Minimum Program” (as defined below) developed in each Phase.

Upon final City approval of the Project Approvals, the project plans and conditions of approval, if any, shall be incorporated into the required Minimum Program.

4.3.1 For Phase 1, the Minimum Program shall include no fewer than 300 housing units, including independent living senior housing, 4,000 square feet of educational space, Infrastructure, and 16,000 square feet of retail and/or community facility space.

EXHIBIT 1
626

13 4.3.2 For Phase 2, the Minimum Program shall include no fewer than 220 housing units no fewer than fifteen percent (15%) of which shall be reserved as affordable for lower income households (i.e., units affordable to households with gross income equal to or less than 80% of the area median income) and the remainder of which shall not be subject to any income restrictions and are anticipated to include market-rate units.

4.4 Project Approvals. Developer, at its sole cost and expense, shall secure or cause to be secured any and all land use and other entitlements, permits and approvals that may be required for development of the Project from the City and any other governmental agency having jurisdiction over development of the Disposition Property or applicable portion thereof (the “Project Approvals”), including any Project Approvals that the City has discretion to issue (“Discretionary Approvals”). The City shall review the Project Approvals in its regulatory capacity, and the City reserves the full extent of its discretion to approve, deny, or conditionally approve the Project. The Project Approvals shall include a map or other instrument sufficient to comply with the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act to define the boundaries of the City Facilities Property, the Park Property, the Disposition Property, the Phase 1 Property and the Phase 2 Property.

4.5 CEQA Review. The City has determined that the Project is consistent with the General Plan, for which the General Plan EIR was prepared and certified. However, subsequent environmental review is required to comply with CEQA prior to any Project approvals or disposition. Prior to the first Discretionary Approval, the City will prepare an Initial Study to analyze project-specific impacts and determine the form of environmental review, if any, that is required to comply with CEQA. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the City’s obligation to issue any Project Approvals and complete the transfer of the Disposition Property hereunder is subject to City’s compliance with CEQA. The City hereby agrees to diligently proceed with CEQA compliance and prosecute the same to completion without delay.

The City does not commit to the Project by entering into this Agreement, nor does this Agreement commit the City to any particular physical feature of the Project so as to preclude any alternatives or mitigation measures that may otherwise be required to be considered in order to comply with CEQA, including the alternative of not going forward with the Project. The City and Developer hereby acknowledge and agree that if the City modifies the Project or does not approve the Project’s Discretionary Approvals to avoid or reduce an environmental impact, nothing herein shall obligate Developer to agree to any such changes or proceed with the transaction if it determines in its sole discretion that such changes would make the Project infeasible. Developer agrees and acknowledges that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the City’s compliance with CEQA is a prerequisite for transfer of the Disposition Property, and City’s failure to transfer the Disposition Property as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement shall not be a breach of this Agreement if the City is otherwise fulfilling its obligation under this Section 4.5 and such failure is a result of the City needing to complete additional steps necessary to comply with CEQA or a result of Developer determining that CEQA compliance has made the Project infeasible. Once the City has taken first action on the Project Approvals, and the statute of limitations for challenging the City’s actions to comply with CEQA has elapsed, the City shall be deemed to have complied with CEQA, and neither party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement without fault under this Section 4.5.

EXHIBIT 1
627

MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE

5.6.1 During the Feasibility Period, or until the earlier termination of this Agreement, Developer, its employees, agents, consultants, lenders, investors, partners, contractors and subcontractors (collectively, “Developer Parties”), shall have the right to enter upon the Site on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 5.6 and make surveys, take measurements, perform test borings or other tests of surface and subsurface conditions, including soils, soil gas and water, make engineering, architectural, environmental and other studies and inspect the Site (collectively, “Inspections”) to determine if there are any adverse physical or environmental conditions of the Disposition Property, other than the conditions that will be addressed by the Remediation Work.

5.6.2 Developer agrees to provide notice to the City’s Economic Development Manager and City Manager at least forty eight (48) hours prior to entering the Site or undertaking any studies or work thereon. City shall reasonably assist Developer in obtaining any written permission from DTSC that may be required prior to undertaking any borings, subsurface soil or ground water testing or other invasive investigations on or about the Site, including any buildings or structures thereon.

5.6.3 Developer shall provide City with copies of all data, survey and tests which Developer produces in connection with such studies and investigations promptly following receipt thereof.

EXHIBIT 1
630

17 5.6.4 Prior to any entry on the Site, Developer shall procure and maintain, and cause any other Developer Parties performing work or entering the Disposition Property or the Park Property to procure and maintain, commercial general liability, automobile liability and worker’s compensation insurance covering Developer, and naming City as an additional insured, and otherwise meeting the requirements set forth in Exhibit E.

5.6.5 If Developer exercises its rights of entry under the provisions of this Section, Developer shall (i) keep the Site free of any liens or third-party claims resulting therefrom; (ii) take all reasonable precautions to prevent the release of any Hazardous Materials into the environment; (iii) indemnify and defend City against any liability or expense for injuries to or death of persons or damage to property of any nature whatsoever to the extent arising out of or resulting from Developer’s exercise of its rights hereunder, including access to the Site by any Developer Parties; provided that Developer shall have no obligation to indemnify or defend City against any Claims arising from the active negligence or willful misconduct of City or City Parties; and (iv) if the Closing does not occur for any reason (other than a default by City), restore as nearly as practicable any portion of the Site damaged by such entry substantially to its condition immediately before such entry. In addition, if this Agreement is terminated for any reason, including a Default by either party or failure of a condition for the benefit of a party, Developer shall promptly repair and/or remedy any damage to any portion of the Site or improvements thereon resulting from such studies and investigations and restore the Site and improvements thereon as nearly as possible to the physical condition existing immediately prior to such damage.

5.6.6 Developer’s indemnity and repair/restoration obligations under this Section 5.6 shall survive the expiration or any termination of this Agreement.

5.7 Feasibility Approval. If Developer elects to proceed with the purchase of the Disposition Property after conducting such Inspections, then as soon as practicable following completion of such Inspections, but in any event no later than expiration of the Feasibility Period, Developer may, in its sole discretion, deliver Notice of approval of the condition of the Disposition Property subject to satisfaction of Developer’s Conditions Precedent set forth in Sections 6.8.1(a) and Error! Reference source not found. (“Notice of Feasibility Approval”) to City and Escrow Agent. Developer’s failure to give the Notice of Feasibility Approval prior to 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on the date of the expiration of the Feasibility Period shall not be a Default under this Agreement, but will be deemed Developer’s disapproval of the condition of the Disposition Property and election not to proceed with the purchase of any portion of the Disposition Property and shall serve to terminate this Agreement effective as of the expiration of the Feasibility Period, unless the Parties mutually agree to extend the time for Developer to provide the Notice of Feasibility Approval. Upon such termination, the Deposit will be returned to Developer. If Developer gives its Notice of Feasibility Approval, then this Agreement shall continue in effect and the rights and obligations of the parties shall continue to be governed by this Agreement. Developer may not thereafter revoke or modify the Notice of Feasibility Approval, but the Phase 1 and Phase 2 Conveyances shall nevertheless remain subject to the satisfaction or waiver (by Developer in its reasonable discretion) of all applicable Developer Conditions Precedent with respect thereto.

18 6. ESCROW.

6.1 Opening of Escrow. Within the time set forth in the Schedule of Performance, Developer shall open Escrow for the Conveyances by delivering a fully executed Agreement to Escrow Agent (“Opening of Escrow.”)

6.2 Deposit and Effect on Purchase Price. Within three (3) days of the Opening of Escrow, Developer shall deposit the sum of Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000) (“Deposit”) into Escrow. The Deposit shall be credited against the Purchase Price, and a pro rata share of the Deposit shall be released to the City at each of the Phase 1 Closing and Phase 2 Closing. Developer shall also receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the ENRA Deposit, which City holds outside of Escrow and is non-refundable.

6.3 Escrow Instructions. This Agreement constitutes the joint escrow instructions of City and Developer with respect to the Phase 1 Conveyance and Phase 2 Conveyance, and the Escrow Agent to whom these instructions are delivered is hereby empowered to act under this Agreement. The Parties shall use reasonable good faith efforts to close the Escrow for the Phase 1 Conveyance and Phase 2 Conveyance in the shortest possible time. All funds received in the Escrow shall be deposited for the benefit of the depositing Party in any state or national bank doing business in the State of California. All disbursements shall be made by check or wire transfer from such accounts. If, in the opinion of either Party, it is necessary or convenient in order to accomplish the Phase 1 Closing or Phase 2 Closing, such Party may provide supplemental escrow instructions; provided that if there is any inconsistency between this Agreement and the supplemental escrow instructions, then the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The Phase 1 Closing and Phase 2 Closing shall take place as set forth in Sections 6.9 and 6.10 below. Escrow Agent is instructed to release City’s and Developer’s escrow closing statements to the respective Parties.

6.4 Title Review.

6.4.1 Delivery of Preliminary Site Title Report. Developer shall cause Escrow Holder to deliver to City and Developer a preliminary tile report for the Site (the “Preliminary Site Title Report”) together with copies of all documents relating to title exceptions shown in the Preliminary Site Title Report within thirty (30) days of Opening of Escrow.

6.4.2 Developer’s Review. Developer shall have sixty (60) days from the receipt of the Preliminary Site Title Report (“Title Review Period”) within which to notify City of any exceptions to title as shown in the Preliminary Site Title Report to which Developer disapproves. Any exceptions which are timely disapproved by Developer in writing pursuant to this Section shall be referred to collectively as the “Title Objections”. If Developer fails to notify City of its disapproval of any matters shown in the Preliminary Site Title Report within the Title Review Period, Developer shall conclusively be deemed to have approved such matters.

Matters shown on the Preliminary Site Title Report to which Developer does not object shall be included within the term “Permitted Exceptions.”

6.4.3 City Title Response. If Developer notifies City of any Title Objections within the Title Review Period then, at City's sole discretion, City may elect (but shall not be EXHIBIT 1
632

19 obligated) to remove or cause to be removed any of the Title Objections at City's expense, which removal shall be subject to Developer's reasonable approval. City shall notify Developer in writing (“City’s Title Response”) within thirty (30) days after receipt of Developer’s Title Objections (“City’s Title Response Period”) whether City elects to remove the same. City's failure to deliver City’s Title Response to Developer shall constitute City's election not to cure such Title Objections. If the City elects to cause the removal of any Title Objections, the City shall effectuate the removal within sixty (60) days following receipt by the Developer of City's Title Response or such other period of time that may be agreed to in writing by both the City and the Developer.

6.4.4 Developer’s Title Termination. If City elects or is deemed to have elected not to cause any Title Objections to be removed, or if City is unable to remove a Title Objection it elected to remove within the time period established under Section 6.4.3, Developer may elect, by Notice to City within ten (10) days of City’s Title Response (or within ten (10) days following the deadline to remove a Title Objection, as applicable), to terminate this Agreement, in which event each Party shall promptly execute and deliver to Escrow Agent such documents as Escrow Agent may reasonably require to evidence such termination and the respective obligations of Developer and City under this Agreement shall terminate, except as to matters which expressly survive termination, and City shall promptly instruct Escrow Agent to return the Deposit to Developer. Developer’s failure to give such Notice of termination on or before such date shall constitute Developer’s waiver of any Title Objections which City is unwilling or unable to cure, in which event such Title Objections shall be deemed acceptable to Developer.

6.5 Developer’s Title Review Covenant. Developer shall be solely responsible for requesting updates of the Preliminary Site Title Report (each such updated Preliminary Site Title Report, a “Title Update”) to determine if any new exceptions have been created after the date that Developer approves or is deemed to approve title pursuant to Section 6.4.2 or Section 6.4.4 above (“Reference Date”). At a minimum, Developer shall request that Escrow Holder prepare a Title Update that covers only the Phase 1 Property within a reasonable time in advance of Phase 1 Closing, which shall be used to create the Phase 1 Title Policy, and a Title Update covering only the Phase 2 Property within a reasonable time in advance of Phase 2 Closing, which shall be used to create Phase 2 Title Policy. Any Title Update shall be delivered to both Developer and City.

6.6 City’s Title Covenant.

6.6.1 City agrees that it shall not voluntarily permit or cause to be created during the period between the Reference Date and the Phase 1 Closing or the period between the Reference Date and the Phase 2 Closing any exceptions to title other than the Permitted Exceptions without Developer’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld (the "City's Title Covenant"). A breach of the City’s Title Covenant shall be a Default and Developer shall have the remedies set forth in Section 6.6.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Developer expressly acknowledges and agrees that the following shall be Permitted Exceptions, and the addition of such items shall be consistent with the City’s title Covenant and shall not be a Default: the Declaration of Affordable Housing Restrictions, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (“Affordable Housing Declaration”). For the avoidance of doubt, any documents that DTSC or any other governmental agency with jurisdiction over the Remediation EXHIBIT 1
633

20 Work requires City to record against the Site with respect to restrictions on the use of the Site due to the presence of the Hazardous Materials that necessitated the Remediation Work shall be accepted as a Permitted Exception only following Developer’s review and approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

6.6.2 If, during the period between the Reference Date and the Phase 1 Closing or the period between the Reference Date and the Phase 2 Closing, any new exceptions to title arise without Developer’s prior written consent, then Developer may object to such new exception by notice to City given within twenty (20) days after Developer receives a Title Update showing the new exception. If Developer fails to object within such period, then the new exception will be deemed to be a Permitted Exception. If the Developer does object, then City may elect in City's sole and absolute discretion, at its cost, to remove any new exceptions that are not Permitted Exceptions prior to the applicable Phase 1 Closing or Phase 2 Closing. If City does so elect, it will notify Developer within ten (10) days after receipt of Developer's objection.

If City elects not to remove or cause to be eliminated the exception, or fails to respond within the ten (10) day period, then Developer shall have the right to: (i) terminate this Agreement by notice to City delivered within ten (10) days after Developer receives City's notice that it has elected not to remove or cause to be eliminated the exception or expiration of the ten (10) day period, whichever occurs earlier; (ii) upon Notice provided to City within ten (10) days of City's election not to remove or cause to be eliminated the exception or failure to respond, diligently proceed to take such actions necessary to remove the exception, which may include obtaining an endorsement insuring over such exception subject to such conditions and requirements imposed by Escrow Holder; or (iii) proceed with the Phase 1 Closing or Phase 2 Closing subject to such exception. If Developer elects clause (ii) and fails to so terminate or elect to cure within the ten (10) day period, then it shall be deemed to have elected clause (iii) above. Exceptions that City elects not to remove or cause to be eliminated, or is deemed to have elected not to remove or cause to be eliminated, and that Developer elects to accept, or is deemed to have accepted, are also Permitted Exceptions. If Developer elects clause (i), each Party shall promptly execute and deliver to Escrow Agent such documents as Escrow Agent may reasonably require to evidence such termination and the respective obligations of Developer and City under this Agreement shall terminate, except as to matters which expressly survive termination, and City shall promptly instruct Escrow Agent to return the Deposit to Developer if Developer elects clause (i) with respect to the Phase 1 Closing.

8.6.1 Developer acknowledges the benefits to the Project and the City of Stockton of local hiring for the construction of the Project.

If reasonably required and requested in writing, Developer shall be a co-applicant with City on, and reasonably assist City in preparation of, a grant application for construction of a new pump station, provided that any costs to Developer in connection therewith shall be paid or reimbursed by City.

9. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.

9.1 Default. Failure by either party to perform any action or covenant required by this Agreement within thirty (30) days following receipt of Notice from the other party specifying the failure (“Notice of Default”) shall constitute a “Default” under this Agreement; provided, however, that if the failure to perform cannot be reasonably cured within such thirty (30) day period, a Party shall be allowed additional time as is reasonably necessary to cure the failure so long as such party commences to cure the failure within the thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the cure to completion. Upon occurrence of such Default, subject to the continuance thereof for any additional cure period provided herein, the non-defaulting party shall have all remedies available to it under this Agreement, including the right to terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 9.2.1 or 9.2.3 below. Neither party shall have the right to recover any punitive, consequential, or special damages.

9.2 Remedies.

9.2.1 Deposit as Liquidated Damages. IF CITY IS NOT IN DEFAULT, THERE HAS NOT BEEN A FAILURE OF ANY DEVELOPER PHASE 1 CLOSING CONDITION PRECEDENT, AND THE PHASE 1 CLOSING DOES NOT OCCUR BY THE PHASE 1 OUTSIDE CLOSING DATE (AS SUCH DATE MAY BE EXTENDED DUE TO FORCE MAJEURE CONDITIONS) DUE TO FAILURE OF A CITY PHASE 1 CLOSING CONDITION PRECEDENT THAT IS NOT DESCRIBED IN SECTION 6.7.3 (“CLOSING FAILURE”), THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT CITY WILL SUFFER

DAMAGES, INCLUDING COSTS OF COOPERATING IN SATISFYING CONDITIONS TO EXHIBIT 1
642

29 CLOSING, COSTS OF SEEKING ANOTHER DEVELOPER FOR THE SITE,

OPPORTUNITY COSTS IN KEEPING THE SITE OUT OF THE MARKETPLACE, AND

OTHER COSTS INCURRED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, AND THAT IT IS

IMPRACTICABLE AND INFEASIBLE TO FIX THE ACTUAL AMOUNT OF SUCH DAMAGES. THEREFORE, CONSIDERING ALL THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING ON

THE EFFECTIVE DATE, IN THE EVENT OF A CLOSING FAILURE, CITY MAY

TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND RETAIN THE DEPOSIT, WHICH AMOUNT SHALL SERVE AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO CITY FOR SUCH CLOSING FAILURE.

RETENTION OF THE DEPOSIT SHALL BE THE CITY’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE

REMEDY AGAINST DEVELOPER IN THE EVENT OF A CLOSING FAILURE, AND CITY

WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO SEEK OTHER RIGHTS OR REMEDIES AGAINST DEVELOPER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, ALL OF DEVELOPER’S OBLIGATIONS TO INDEMNIFY CITY

AS PROVIDED HEREIN THAT, BY THEIR TERMS, EXPRESSLY SURVIVE THE

TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, SHALL BE SEPARATE, ADDITIONAL, AND

INDEPENDENT OBLIGATIONS OF DEVELOPER SURVIVING THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SECTION ARE NOT

INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTIONS 3275 OR 3369 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, BUT ARE INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO CITY PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 1671, 1676 AND 1677 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE. BY PLACING THEIR INITIALS BELOW,

DEVELOPER AND CITY SPECIFICALLY CONFIRM THE ACCURACY OF THE

STATEMENTS MADE ABOVE, THE REASONABLENESS OF THE AMOUNT OF

LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AGREED UPON, AND THE FACT THAT EACH PARTY WAS

REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL WHO EXPLAINED, AT THE TIME THIS AGREEMENT WAS MADE, THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION.

INITIALS: _________ ______________

C I T Y D E V E L O P E R

9.2.2 Upon the occurrence of a Default by Developer other than a Closing Failure, City shall have the right, in addition to any other rights or remedies, to institute any action at law or in equity to cure, correct, prevent or remedy such Default, including the recovery of actual damages. Upon the occurrence of a Default by City, Developer shall have the right to institute any action at law or in equity to cure, correct, prevent or remedy such Default.

Developer’s remedies in any legal action Developer brings in the event of a Default by City shall be limited to obtaining specific performance or injunctive relief. Such legal actions must be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of San Joaquin, State of California, or in the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of the State of California. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither Party shall have the right to recover any consequential, special or punitive damages in the event of a Default by the other Party.

9.2.3 Upon the occurrence of a Default by Developer other than a Closing Failure, in the event City is not in Default under this Agreement, City may terminate this EXHIBIT 1
643

30 Agreement (subject to the notice and cure provisions set forth in Section 9.1) by Notice to Developer (and pursue its remedies for Default, if applicable, including pursuing any and all other legal remedies it may have and/or its Right of Reverter as set forth in Section 9.3 below).

Upon the occurrence of a Default by City, in the event Developer is not in Default under this Agreement, Developer may terminate this Agreement (subject to the notice and cure provisions set forth in Section 9.1) by Notice to City (and pursue its remedies for Default, if applicable, including pursuing any and all other legal remedies it may have).

9.3 City Option to Repurchase, Reenter and Repossess (Right of Reverter)

9.3.1 Events Triggering Right of Reverter. Subject to Notice and opportunity to cure under Section 9.1 and any applicable extension(s) for Force Majeure Delay(s) under Section 10 and so long as not caused by a City Default, then City shall have, following an additional 180 days advance written notice and opportunity to cure, the additional right, at its option:
(a) To repurchase, reenter and take possession of Phase 1 (“Phase 1 Right of Reverter”) if after conveyance of title to Phase 1 and prior to Substantial Completion of Phase 1, Developer shall (i) fail to meet any of the Phase 1 Milestones within the time set forth on the Schedule of Performance; or (ii) abandon or substantially suspend construction of the Project for a period of six (6) consecutive months after Commencement of Construction of the Project prior to obtaining a Certificate of Completion for Phase 1; and (b) To repurchase, reenter and take possession of Phase 2 (“Phase 2 Right of Reverter”) if after conveyance of title to Phase 2 and prior to Substantial Completion of Phase 2, Developer shall (i) fail to meet any of the Phase 2 Milestones within the time set forth on the Schedule of Performance; or (ii) abandon or substantially suspend construction of the Project for a period of six (6) consecutive months after Commencement of Construction of the Project.

The Phase 1 Right of Reverter and Phase 2 Right of Reverter shall each individually be referred to as a “Right of Reverter.”

9.3.2 Mortgagee Rights. Any such Right of Reverter, to the extent provided in this Agreement, shall be subordinate and subject to and be limited by and shall not defeat, render invalid or limit:
(a) Any mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument permitted by this Agreement; or
(b) Any rights or interests provided in this Agreement for the protection of the holder of such mortgages, deeds of trust or other security instruments.

9.3.3 Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.3 to the contrary, in the event the City approves a Ground Lease Structure (hereinafter defined), the City shall negotiate in good faith with Developer and the ground lessor to agree upon additional and reasonable ground lessor rights and protections with respect to the Right of Reverter, including a standstill period before exercising the Right of Reverter, additional notice and cure periods for the ground lessor in the event of Developer Defaults, and other commercially reasonable rights and protections EXHIBIT 1
644

31 requested by Developer and/or the ground lessor, provided that the City shall only agree to such rights and protections if the ground lessor agrees in a written form reasonably acceptable to City that ground lessor shall fulfill all of Developer’s material obligations under this Agreement following a Developer Default.

9.3.4 Process for City Exercise. To exercise a Right of Reverter, City shall pay to Developer in cash an amount equal to:
(a) Any Phase 1 Consideration or Phase 2 Consideration, as applicable, paid by Developer as of the date of exercise of the Right of Reverter; plus (b) The actual out-of-pocket soft costs incurred by Developer and paid to unaffiliated third parties for design and architectural services for the Project (or applicable portion thereof) and hard costs incurred by Developer and paid to unaffiliated third parties for labor and materials for the construction of the Project (or applicable portion thereof) through the time of the repurchase, reentry and repossession; less
(c) Any gains or income withdrawn or made by Developer from Phase 1 with respect to a Phase 1 Right of Reverter and from Phase 2 only with respect to a Phase 2 Right of Reverter, or the Project; less
(d) The total amount of any mortgages, deeds of trust or other liens encumbering Phase 1 and Phase 2 (with respect to a Phase 1 Right of Reverter) or Phase 2 only with respect to a Phase 2 Right of Reverter at the time of the repurchase, reentry and repossession.

In order to exercise such Right of Reverter, City shall give Developer Notice of such exercise and Developer shall, within sixty (60) days after Developer’s receipt of such Notice, provide City with a detailed accounting of all of Developer’s costs incurred as provided in subparagraph (b) above. City, within thirty (30) days thereafter, shall pay to Developer in cash all sums owing pursuant to this Section, if any, and Developer shall thereupon execute and deliver to City a grant deed transferring to City all of Developer’s interest in the Disposition Property.

City’s rights under this Section with respect to each Phase shall terminate upon the City’s issuance of the Certificate of Completion for such Phase to the Developer.

9.4 Rights of Mortgagees. City shall deliver a copy of any Notice or demand to Developer concerning any alleged breach or Default by Developer under this Agreement to each Mortgagee, provided that City shall have no obligation to do so unless Developer has complied with Section 11.1.2 detailing the procedure for a Permitted Transfer with respect to the Mortgagee. Such Mortgagee shall have the right at its option to cure or remedy any such breach or Default and to add the cost thereof to the secured debt and the lien of its security interest. If such breach or Default can only be remedied or cured by such Mortgagee upon obtaining possession, such Mortgagee may remedy or cure such breach or default within a reasonable period of time after obtaining possession, provided such Mortgagee seeks possession with diligence through a receiver or, if not possible, then by nonjudicial foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure. The Mortgagee shall not be obligated by the provisions of this Agreement to EXHIBIT 1
645

32 construct or complete the Project or any portion thereof or to guarantee such construction or completion; nor shall any covenant or any other provision in this Agreement be construed so to obligate such Mortgagee; provided, however, that (i) nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to permit or to authorize such Mortgagee to devote the Project or any portion thereof to any uses or to construct any improvements thereon other than those uses and improvements provided for or authorized in this Agreement and (ii) such Mortgagee shall not undertake or continue the construction or completion of the improvements comprising the Project beyond the extent necessary to conserve or to complete the same without assuming Developer’s obligations hereunder. Any Mortgagee completing the Project shall have and be subject to all of the rights and obligations of Developer set forth in this Agreement.

9.5 Acceptance of Service of Process. In the event that any legal action is commenced by Developer against City or City under this Agreement, service of process on City or City shall be made by personal service upon the City Clerk in such other manner as may be provided by law. In the event that any legal action is commenced by City against Developer under this Agreement, service of process on Developer shall be made by personal service upon Mike Hakeem, or in such other manner as may be provided by law.

9.6 Rights and Remedies Are Cumulative. Except as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the Parties are cumulative, and the exercise by either Party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same Default or any other Default by the other Party.

9.7 Inaction Not a Waiver of Default. Any failures or delays by either Party in asserting any of its rights and remedies as to any Default shall not operate as a waiver of any Default or of any such rights or remedies, or deprive either such Party of its right to institute and maintain any actions or proceedings which it may deem necessary to protect, assert or enforce any such rights or remedies.

10. FORCE MAJEURE. All performance deadlines in this Agreement shall be extended to the extent of delays caused beyond the control or without the fault of the Party claiming an extension of time to perform, including, without limitation, the following: war; acts of terrorism; insurrection; strikes; lockouts; labor troubles; inability to procure materials; power failures; riots; floods; earthquakes; fires; other natural disasters; casualties; acts of God; epidemics and other public health crises affecting the workforce by actions such as quarantine restrictions or closure of the offices of governmental agencies having jurisdiction over the Disposition Property or the Project; freight embargoes; lack of transportation; governmental restrictions or priority; governmental moratoria; initiation of condemnation proceedings by any governmental agency; and unreasonable acts or unreasonable failures to act of City or any other public or governmental Agency or entity (determined considering the normal processes and response times of City and such governmental entities, which shall be deemed reasonable and not force majeure delays) (“Force Majeure”), provided, however, that conditions related to or arising from COVD-19 as of the Effective Date shall not constitute conditions giving rise to Force Majeure.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, an extension of time for any such cause shall be for the period of the enforced delay only, and in the event of such an extension of time for construction, an additional period of time not to exceed sixty (60) days for the EXHIBIT 1
646

33 mobilization of contractors, and shall commence to run from the time of the commencement of the cause, and only if Notice by the Party claiming such extension is sent to the other Party within sixty (60) days after the commencement of the cause.

11. TRANSFERS.

11.1 Prohibition; Permitted Transfers.

11.1.1 Prohibition. The qualifications and identity of Developer are of particular concern to City. It is because of those unique qualifications and identity that City has entered into this Agreement with Developer. Except as provided in Section 11.1.2, prior to the City’s issuance of the Certificate of Completion, Developer shall not assign or transfer this Agreement, Phase 1, Phase 2, or any portion of Phase 1 or Phase 2 (each, a “Transfer”) without the prior written approval of the City Manager in his or her sole and absolute discretion through the process provided in Section 11.2 or, at the City Manager’s discretion, following approval from the City Council. The term “Transfer” for the purposes of this Section shall include any change in the Control of Developer by any method or means. The term “Control” as used herein, shall mean the power to direct the Day-to-Day Management of Developer, and it shall be a presumption that Control with respect to a corporation or limited liability company is the right to exercise, directly or indirectly, more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting rights attributable to the Controlled corporation or limited liability company, and, with respect to any individual, partnership, trust, other entity or association, Control is the possession, indirectly or directly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the day-to day-management of the controlled entity.

11.1.2 Permitted Transfer. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, City approval of an assignment of this Agreement or conveyance of the Disposition Property or Project, or any part thereof, shall not be required in connection with any of the following (each, a “Permitted Transfer”):
(a) The granting of reasonable easements or permits to facilitate construction of the Project;
(b) An assignment of this Agreement to an Affiliate of Developer; (c) Deeds of trust from lenders for the purpose of securing a loan or loans of funds to be used for financing the costs of the Project; (d) Transfers of common area to a property owners association; (e) The lease of individual tenant space(s) in the retail space or educational space;
(f) The lease of residential units in the Project.

Developer shall give at least ten (10) business days’ prior Notice to City of a Permitted Transfer, except that no such Notice shall be required for any Permitted Transfer under subsection (d) and (f) or once the termination of Transfer Restrictions has occurred pursuant to subsection 1.5.4 below. In addition, City shall be entitled to review such documentation as may EXHIBIT 1
647

34 be reasonably required by City to confirm the proposed Transfer is a Permitted Transfer.

11.2 Process for City Review of Proposed Transfer. The process set forth in this Section shall apply to any proposed Transfer that is not a Permitted Transfer. Developer shall notify City of any proposed Transfer at least thirty (30) days prior to completing any Transfer.

Except as otherwise provided in this Section, the City Manager may withhold, condition or delay its approval of a Transfer in its sole and absolute discretion. Prior to consideration by the City Manager of any proposed Transfer, Developer shall deliver to City a statement of qualifications and financial capability of the proposed transferee along with the form of a proposed written Assignment and Assumption Agreement in which the Transferee expressly agrees to assume the rights and obligations of Developer under this Agreement with respect to those portion(s) of the Disposition Property that are being Transferred that arise after the effective date of the Transfer, and in which the Transferee agrees to assume or the Transferor remains responsible for performance of all obligations of Developer that arose prior to the effective date of the Transfer with respect to the rights and obligations being transferred.

11.2.1 Gound Lease Structure. The City acknowledges that Developer is considering a ground lease structure for the Developer’s acquisition, financing, and Development of the Disposition Property, wherein a ground lessor will acquire the Disposition Property as fee owner and ground lease it to Developer to develop and operate the same (the “Ground Lease Structure”). The Ground Lease Structure shall be subject to City’s review and approval in accordance with Section 11.2.2 provided that City’s approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed if the proposed transferee meets both of the Financial Requirement and the Experience Requirement, as defined below.

11.2.2 Request for Consent to Ground Lease Structure. At least sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of the proposed Transfer to effectuate the Ground Lease Structure, Developer shall request City’s consent to the Transfer by delivering a notice to City together with:
(a) The name and address of the proposed transferee, who shall be the ground lessor in the Ground Lease Structure;
(b) The proposed effective date of the proposed Transfer; (c) The proposed form of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement under which the proposed transferee agrees to fulfill all of Developer’s material obligations under this Agreement following a Developer Default;
(d) Reasonably sufficient information and documentation, including references and examples of prior development projects, evidencing that the proposed transferee has a commercially reasonable amount of experience in the State of California in the ownership, operation, management and, if applicable, development of real estate assets of the use classes represented by the Project (the “Experience Requirement”); (e) Reasonably sufficient information and documentation, including financial statements, evidencing that the proposed transferee and/or the person or entity that controls the transferee (if such person or entity would be financially liable as part of the proposed EXHIBIT 1
648

35 Transfer) has the financial standing and/or strength (taking into account all of the proposed transferee's other obligations and liabilities) to perform Developer’s obligations under this Agreement (the “Financial Requirement”).

11.3 Assignment and Assumption Agreement. No later than ten (10) business days after the date any Transfer (whether or not City approval is required) becomes effective, Developer shall deliver to City a fully executed original of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement. Upon the effective date of said Transfer, Developer shall be released from all obligations expressly assumed by the Transferee under the executed Assignment and Assumption Agreement.

Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement, or the application of any term or provision of this Agreement to a specific situation, is found to be invalid, or unenforceable, in whole or in part for any reason, the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect unless an essential purpose of this Agreement would be defeated by loss of the invalid or unenforceable provisions, in which case any Party may terminate this Agreement by providing Notice thereof to the other Party.

GRANT DEED
- For valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the CITY OF STOCKTON, a chartered California municipal corporation (“Grantor”), hereby grants to RBH STOCKTON OZ PROJECT, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Grantee”), the real property (the “Property”) located in the City of Stockton, County of San Joaquin, California, more particularly described in Attachment No. 1 attached hereto and incorporated in this grant deed (“Grant Deed”) by reference. -

1. Covenants. Grantee expressly covenants and agrees for itself, its successors and assigns and all persons claiming under or through it, that:

1.1 Grantee and all such successors and assigns and all persons claiming under or through it, shall develop the Property only with the Project and uses specified and in accordance with that certain Disposition and Development Agreement between Grantor and Grantee dated as of ___________________ (“DDA”) as well as all other applicable permits, land use entitlements, or approvals issued by City. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings provided in the DDA. City’s issuance of a Certificate of Completion pursuant to Section 7.3 of the DDA shall constitute evidence of Grantee’s satisfaction of this development covenant. City’s issuance of a Certificate of Completion pursuant to Section 7.3 of the DDA shall constitute evidence of Grantee’s Substantial Completion of the Project.

2. City Option to Repurchase, Reenter and Repossess. Until such time as [Phase 1][Phase 2] of the Project is Substantially Complete, Grantor shall have the right, in the event of certain EXHIBIT 1
656

D-2

specified uncured defaults under the DDA, to repurchase, reenter and take possession of [Phase 1][Phase 2], as further provided in Section 9.3 of the DDA. Such right to repurchase, reenter and repossess shall be subordinate to and be limited by and shall not defeat, render invalid or limit:
(a) any mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument permitted by the DDA; or (b) any rights or interests provided in the DDA for the protection of the holder of such mortgages, deeds of trust or other security instruments.

3. Effect, Duration and Enforcement of Covenants.

It is intended and agreed that the covenants and agreements set forth in this Grant Deed shall be covenants running with the land and that they shall be, in any event and without regard to technical classification or designation, legal or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by law and equity, (i) binding for the benefit and in favor of Grantor, as beneficiary; and (ii) binding against Grantee, its successors and assigns to or of the Property. The agreements and covenants herein shall be binding on Grantee itself, each successor in interest or assign, and each party in possession or occupancy, respectively, only for such period as it shall have title to or an interest in or possession or occupancy of the Property.

Grantor shall have the right, in the event of any and all of such covenants of which it is stated to be the beneficiary, to institute an action for injunction and/or specific enforcement to cure an alleged breach or violation of such covenants, subject to the paragraph below.

Grantee shall be entitled to written notice from Grantor and shall have the right to cure any alleged breach or violation of all or any of the covenants set forth in this Grant Deed; provided that Grantee shall cure such breach or violation within thirty (30) days following the date of written notice from Grantor, or in the case of a breach or violation not reasonably susceptible of cure within thirty (30) days, Grantee shall commence to cure such breach or violation within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently to prosecute such cure to completion within a reasonable time.

4. Mortgagee Protection. No violation or breach of the covenants, conditions, restrictions, provisions or limitations contained in this Grant Deed shall defeat or render invalid or in any way impair the lien or charge of any mortgage, deed of trust or other financing or security instrument encumbering the Property; provided, however, that any successor of Grantee to the Property (other than the Grantor in the event Grantor re-acquires title to the Property) shall be bound by such covenants, conditions, restrictions, limitations and provisions, whether such successor’s title was acquired by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, trustee’s sale or otherwise.

5. Amendments. Only the Grantor, its successors and assigns, and the Grantee and the successors and assigns of the Grantee in and to fee title to the Property shall have the right to consent and agree to changes or to eliminate in whole or in part any of the covenants contained in this Grant Deed. For purposes of this Section, successors and assigns of the Grantee shall be defined to include only those parties who hold all or any part of the Property in fee title, and shall not include a tenant, lessee, easement holder, licensee, mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary under deed of trust, or any other person or entity having an interest less than a fee in the Property and the Project.

This LICENSE AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT (" Agreement") is made and entered into on _____________, 20__ by and between the City of Stockton, a municipal corporation ("City") and RBH Stockton OZ Project, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Developer”).

RECITALS

A. On February ___, 2024, the City and Developer entered into a Disposition and Development Agreement (“DDA”) whereby City agreed to convey to Developer approximately

9.12 acres of real property bounded by certain City-owned property and improvements adjacent to West Weber Avenue, Mormon Slough, the Stockton Downtown Marina, and the Stockton Channel located at 701-855 W. Weber Avenue and generally identified as San Joaquin Assessor Parcel Numbers 145-270-06 and 145-270-10, the unimproved portion of San Joaquin Assessor Parcel Number 145-190-03 and 145-270-09, and an unnumbered parcel consisting of right of way to be vacated by the City, all as more particularly described in Exhibit A (the “Disposition Property”). Developer intends to construct a mixed-use development on the Disposition Property known as “The Village at South Pointe,” or such other name as may be mutually agreed upon by the Parties (the “Project”). The Project shall include mixed-income residential housing, retail space, community/civic space, and parking developed in two phases on the Disposition Property that, upon completion, shall include no fewer than 300 units (including independent living senior housing), 4,000 square feet of educational space, 16,000 sf of retail and/or community serving facility space within Phase 1 (as defined in the DDA), and 220 units of housing, including market rate and affordable housing, within Phase 2 (as defined in the DDA).

Phase 1 and Phase 2 shall each include at least one (1) building (each, a “Building.”)

B. The property identified as San Joaquin Assessor Parcel Number 145-190-03, more particularly described in Exhibit "B," attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the “Park Property”) is improved with a park consisting of a seating area, decorative sculptures, and lighting facilities (the “Improvements”).

C. The Disposition Property is surrounded by a paved walkway along the perimeter of the Disposition Property (the “Promenade”), which provides public access to the Park EXHIBIT 1
682
J-2

Property and the waterfront. The City is retaining ownership of the Promenade, the Park Property and the Improvements (collectively, the “City Property”).

D. Developer and City desire that City grant Developer a property right to enter upon the City Property for the purpose of maintaining, repairing and/or replacing the Improvements and the Promenade.

AGREEMENT

1. Maintenance and Use as a Park and Promenade. Developer shall be solely responsible for the following services with respect to the City Property (collectively, the “Services”): (a) light maintenance and repair of the landscaping within the City Property and (b) customary custodial and janitorial service to keep the City Property in a neat, clean, and orderly condition at all times. Specifically, landscape maintenance work shall include but not be limited to, regularly scheduled mowing, edging, shrub trimming, fertilizing, litter/trash collection, graffiti abatement, weed control, minor tree work, turf aeration (if needed), and disposal of the material generated. Custodial and janitorial service will generally include, but not be limited to, changing light bulbs in lighting fixtures, cleaning sculptures, regularly scheduled trash collection, emptying trash receptacles, washing site furnishings and structures such as tables and benches, and proper disposal of the material collected. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Services shall exclude maintenance, repair, and replacement work on all of the following (collectively, the “City Obligations”): geotechnical, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, drainage, landscaping (other than landscape maintenance work that is part of the Services), and other such systems, structures, equipment, and elements serving and/or incorporated into the City Property, including paved areas and walkways, sea walls and flood control facilities, railings and fences, lighting structures, furnishings and structures such as tables and benches, playground areas and equipment, trash receptacles, sculptures, and structures. The City Obligations shall not include repair of any damage caused by or related to the Project or the Services. If the City determines that there is any damage to the City Property resulting from or arising out of the Services or the construction or operation of the Project beyond reasonable wear and tear, then City may notify Developer of the same in writing and Developer shall repair any such damage in accordance with the current ordinances, resolutions, regulations, codes, standards, or other requirements of City at no cost or expense to the City (Developer Repair Obligations”). Such Developer Repair Obligations shall survive termination of this License.

2. Term. The term of this Agreement shall be the Life of the Project. “Life of the Project” means the period beginning on the date that the Developer receives a temporary certificate of occupancy for any Building in Phase 1 (as defined in the DDA) and ending on such date as (a) all Buildings and other improvements constructed by Developer on the Disposition Property are substantially demolished in connection with Developer’s abandonment of the Project during construction or construction and development of a new development project, or (b) a “Major Casualty” (as defined below) occurs, provided, if a Major Casualty occurs within the first fifty (50) years following the Effective Date, and if Developer and/or its mortgagees elect to reconstruct the Project or any portion thereof (at their expense) and such reconstruction occurs within five (5) years following the date of such Major Casualty, this Agreement shall remain in effect. As used herein “Major Casualty” means the Project is damaged or destroyed such that the cost of restoration or reconstruction exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the fair market EXHIBIT 1
683
J-3

value of the Project immediately prior to the Major Casualty. If any of the events described in clause (a) of the first sentence of this Paragraph 2 occurs, or if a Major Casualty occurs and Developer and/or its mortgagees do not elect to reconstruct the Project or any portion thereof (at their expense) within five (5) years following the date of such Major Casualty, the Developer shall sign a termination notice at City’s request in a form that City may record in the Official Records of the County of San Joaquin.

3. License. City grants Developer the non-exclusive license and right to enter (the “License”) on the City Property for the purpose of performing the Services. Such License shall be irrevocable except as provided in Section 6 of this Agreement.

4. City Right to Inspect and Repair. City shall have the right to periodically inspect the Services performed on the City Property for the purpose of confirming Developer’s compliance with this terms of this Agreement. Additionally, City and Developer shall meet periodically to discuss the scope of the Services and additional services that either party proposes for the City Property, and the parties shall endeavor to agree on a revised scope of the Services if appropriate, provided that nothing herein shall obligate Developer to increase the scope of Services if such adjustment would increase Developer’s budget for the Services by more than three percent (3%) annually. City shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform additional maintenance or repairs to the City Property above and beyond the Services at its sole cost and expense, provided that in doing so the City shall not interfere with Developer’s performance of the Services.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the City shall be solely responsible, at its sole cost and expenses, for performing all City Obligations and shall notify Developer in advance of performing such work and endeavor to minimize disruption to the Disposition Property and Developer’s improvements thereon.

5. Default. In the event of a default by Developer or Developer’s successors or assigns, which default remains uncured thirty (30) days after notice is given of the default by City to Developer, City may (1) cause the Services and/or Developer’s Repair Obligation to be done and charge the entire expense to Developer, including interest thereon at the maximum rate then chargeable by law, from the date of notice of said costs and expenses until paid and seek any and all legal relief available to recover said sums from the Developer in the event of non-payment; and/or (2) bring a legal action against the Developer seeking specific performance and an order compelling the Developer to perform its obligations hereunder and any other relief available to City at law or equity.

6. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by the City in the event that there are three (3) or more Defaults by Developer in any calendar year. Otherwise, this Agreement may only be terminated as described in Paragraph 2 above.

7. Hold Harmless. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Developer shall hold harmless, defend and indemnify City of Stockton and its officers, officials, employees and volunteers from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, expense, costs (including without limitation costs and fees of litigation) of every nature arising out of or in connection with Developer’s operations under this Agreement or any of Developer’s acts or omissions in connection with Developer’s obligations under this Agreement. This obligation is independent EXHIBIT 1
684
J-4

of, and shall not in any way be limited by, the minimum insurance obligations contained in this Agreement. These obligations shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

8. Developer’s Liability Insurance. Developer shall, during the life of this Agreement, take out and maintain insurance coverage with an insurance carrier authorized to transact business in the State of California and will protect Developer or any Contractor or Subcontractor and anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or by anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable, from claims for damages of bodily injury, sickness, disease, or death of its employees or any person other than its employees, or for damages because of injury to or destruction of tangible property, including loss of use resulting therefrom.

The minimum limits of liability for such insurance coverage which shall include comprehensive general and automobile liability, including contractual liability assumed under this Agreement, shall be as follows:
a. COMMERCIAL OR COMPREHENSIVE GENERAL LIABILITY

Developer's Comprehensive General Liability Insurance may be arranged under a single policy for the full limits required or by a combination of underlying policies with the balance provided by an excess or Umbrella Liability policy.

The foregoing policies shall contain a provision that coverages afforded under the policies will not be canceled or not renewed until at least 60 days prior written notice has been given to City. Certificates of insurance showing such coverages to be in force shall be made available to City upon request.

MEMORANDUM
January 8, 2024
TO:

Amanda Thomas, Real Property Agent
Economic Development Department
FROM: Nicole D. Moore, LEED-AP, Contract Planner
Community Development Department
SUBJECT: CEQA NOE 01-24 – WEST WEBER AVENUE PARCEL SALES The Community Development Depar tment received a request to review the above-referenced project for conformity with the Stockton General Plan and make an environmental determination
pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City of Stockton is proposing to sell four (4) parcels along West Weber Avenue in Stockton, CA, at 701 West Weber Avenue (APN 145-270-09), 833 West Weber Avenue (APN 145-270-06), 855 West Weber Avenue (APN 145- 190-03), and a parcel with no official address (APN 145-270-10). The terms of the sale do not commit the City of Stockton to any physical c hange to the environment. See Attachment A for location.

In accordance with Government Code §65402 , the Community Development Department determines the proposed property sale is neutral in regard to conformity with the Stockton General Plan. Future development of the subject parcels shall be under the jurisdiction of the City of Stockton.

Concerning the California Envi ronmental Quality Act (CEQA) determination, the Community Development Department concludes the project is Categorically Exempt under CEQA Guidelines and is granted a ‘general rule exemption’ under Section 15061(B)(3) since there is no possibility that the activity in question would have significant effect on the environment and the activity is no subject to CEQA. The project is also not subject to any of the exceptions to the use of a Categorical Exemption listed at CEQA Guidelines §15300.2.

Upon approval by City Council, the Economic Development Department is advised to complete the attached Notice of Exemption (Attachment B) and file it with the San Joaquin County Clerk Office to initiate a 35-day statute of limitations on court challenges. Please retain a copy of the original posted notice within the project file in the Economic Development Department project file.

The McKinley Park Renovation project will provide new picnic shelters, new ballfields, new play area, new restroom, storage building, basketball and futsal courts, soccer fields, landscaping and irrigation system modifications, path lighting, parking lot improvements, and renovation of the existing swimming pool and bathhouse.

File #: 23-1050, Version: 1
Contract to Callander Associates of Gold River, CA, for design of the McKinley Park Renovation project. Callander Associates completed design of the project in May 2023.

On April 18, 2023, by Resolution No. 2023-04-18-1209-02, Council approved Notice of Exemption No. NOE03-23 under the California Environmental Quality Act for the McKinley Park Renovation, Project No. WR21017.

On July 26, 2016, Council adopted a Community Workforce and Training Agreement (CWTA). The CWTA became effective August 25, 2016, and applies to all Public Works projects over $1 million that are bid after that date. On July 16, 2019, by Motion No. 2019-07-16-1403, Council extended the CWTA term to August 25, 2024. The CWTA was applied to this project as the construction cost is over $1 million.

Present Situation
On January 23, 2023, the City advertised a Request for Proposals (RFP) for construction management services for the McKinley Park Renovation, Project No. WR21017. On February 22, 2023, three proposals were received from the following firms:
· Cumming (Roseville, CA)
· Salaber Associates, Inc. (Rancho Cordova, CA)
· Vanir (Sacramento, CA)
The Selection Committee evaluated the proposals based on each firm’s understanding of work, experience with similar kinds of projects, staff qualifications, technical ability, project approach, cost, and local preference.

Salaber Associates, Inc. received the highest ranking, based on the noted criteria, and was determined to be the most qualified and highest ranked firm for this project. Staff negotiated a fee in the amount of $754,370 with Salaber Associates, Inc. for construction management services for the McKinley Park Renovation project. The negotiated fee is approximately six percent of the cost of construction, which is reasonable for a project of this size and complexity. It is recommended that Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Contract in the amount of $754,370 to Salaber Associates, Inc.

Concurrent with acquiring construction management services, staff completed a bidder pre- qualification process. A pre-qualification list would ensure future bidders meet the City’s requirements, have financial stability, and have a high standard for safety and health. Prospective bidders would have to meet the following pre-qualification criteria in order to bid the project:

1. Demonstration of similar project experience.

2. Meet bonding capacity and insurance requirements.

3. Meet financial requirements.

4. Company business history and organizational performance.

5. Company’s compliance with safety, workers compensation, prevailing wage, and apprenticeship laws.

6. Satisfactory reference check on two previously completed projects.

On June 13, 2023, the McKinley Park Renovation, Project No. WR21017, was advertised for contractors to submit a pre-qualification package for the McKinley Park Renovation project. On July 12, 2023, 10 pre-qualification packages were received from the following firms:

1. AMG & Associates , Inc. (Santa Clarita, CA)

2. Arntz Builders, Inc. (Petaluma, CA)

3. BHM Construction, Inc. (Napa, CA)

4. F&H Construction (Lodi, CA)

5. Hilbers, Inc. (Yuba City, CA)

6. Lathrop Construction Associates (Benicia, CA)

7. Otto Construction (Sacramento, CA)

8. Robert A. Bothman (Santa Clara, CA)

9. Roebbelen Contracting, Inc. (El Dorado Hills, CA)

10.Tricon Construction, Inc. (Rancho Cordova, CA)
A Review Committee reviewed the pre-qualification packages and determined all 10 contractors meet the City’s minimum requirements. The evaluation process to verify that each company meets minimum requirements took longer than expected due to the number of potential candidates. The desired bid date was fall of 2023 to take advantage of best possible timing for receipt of bids in winter. However, it was determined that certification of the list of pre-qualified construction companies was not feasible prior to the ideal advertising date. Therefore, it is recommended at this time that Council adopt a resolution approving and establishing the Pre-Qualified Bidders List for the McKinley Park Renovation project (Attachment B - Pre-Qualified Bidders List).

On October 3, 2023, the McKinley Park Renovation, Project No. WR21017, was advertised to the pre -qualified list of bidders. The project included two Add Alternative bid items to resurface an additional basketball and sports court if funding was available.

On December 14, 2023, two of the 10 pre-qualified contractors submitted a bid with the following results:

File #: 23-1050, Version: 1
The requirements of Stockton Municipal Code (SMC) section 3.68.090, Local Business Preference, apply to this project. Application of the Local Business Preference has no effect on the bid order. The Local Employment Ordinance, SMC section 3.68.095, also applies to this contract.

The base bid from Otto Construction, the lowest responsible bidder, is regular in all respects and has the proper license to perform the work. The total bid is approximately one percent below the engineer’s estimate. It is recommended that Council approve the plans and specifications for the project and award a Construction Contract to Otto Construction of Sacramento, CA, in the amount of $11,394,400, which includes the base bid and both additive alternates.

The project is partially funded with Proposition 68 State grant funds. Proposition 68 funding guidelines require the City to partner with the GVCC on the project. The GVCC will provide labor to install site furnishings, landscaping, and other park amenities related to the project. The project specifications require the contractor to coordinate this work with the GVCC. It is recommended that Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an Agreement with the San Joaquin County Office of Education dba GVCC in the amount of $280,429 to reimburse the GVCC for their work on the project.

It is also recommended that Council adopt a resolution appropriating funds in the amount of $750,000 from the Transformative Climate Communities Program and transferring funds in the amount of $200,000 from the Touchless Restroom, Project No. WP22016, to the McKinley Park Renovation, Project No. WR21017. Construction is anticipated to be completed by summer 2025.

Findings Related to Construction Management Services
Pursuant to SMC section 3.68.070, Council may approve findings which support an exception to the competitive bidding process. These findings include:

1. The City does not have sufficient staff resources to perform the necessary construction management services for this project.

2. Use of the RFP process is appropriate for this Professional Services Contract because it relies on the evaluation of professional qualifications and performance as the basis for selection of a vendor. Use of the criteria helps ensure selection of a vendor that will provide the highest quality professional service, which is in the public interest.

3. The City negotiated a contract following solicitation of competitive proposals in accordance with SMC section 3.68.070.A.3.

Findings Related to Services by Greater Valley Conservation Corps Pursuant to SMC section 3.68.070, Council may approve findings which support an exception to the competitive bidding process. These findings include:
