Attachment 1
EXHIBIT A
Government Code Section 5852.1 Disclosures
The good faith estimates set forth herein are provided with respect to the SRF Loan in accordance with California Government Code Section 5852.1. Such good faith estimates have been provided to the City of Sunnyvale (“City”) by CDM Smith (“Program Management Consultant”).
Principal Amount. The Program Management Consultant (“PMC”) has informed the City that, based on the City’s financing plan and current market conditions, its good faith estimate of the aggregate amount of the Installment Sale Agreement relating to the Existing Plant Rehabilitation Project to be sold is $50,000,000 (the “Estimated Gross Principal Amount”).
True Interest Cost of the SRF Loan. The PMC has informed the City that, assuming that the Estimated Gross Principal Amount of the SRF Loan is executed, and based on the expected interest
rates prevailing at the time of preparation of such estimate, their good faith estimate of the true interest cost of the SRF Loan , which means the rate necessary to discount the amounts payable on the respective principal and interest payment dates to the purchase price received for the SRF Loan, is 2.1%.
Finance Charge of the SRF Loan. The PMC has informed the City that, assuming that the SRF Lo
an is executed, their good faith estimate of the finance charge for the SRF Loan , which means the sum of all fees and charges paid to third parties (or costs associated with the SRF Loan), is $0.00.
Amount of Proceeds to be Received . The PMC has informed th e City that, assuming that the Estimated Gross Principal Amount of the SRF Loan is executed, and based on estimated interest rates prevailing at the time of preparation of such estimate, their good faith estimate of the amount of proceeds expected to be received by the City for sale of the SRF Loan, less the finance charge of the SRF Loan, as estimated above, and any reserves or capitalized interest paid or funded with proceeds of the SRF Loan, is $50,000,000.
Total Payment Amount. The PMC has informed the City that, assuming that t he Estimated
Gross Principal Amount of the SRF Loan is executed, and based on interest rates prevailing at the time of preparation of such estimate, their good faith estimate of the total payment amount, which means the sum total of all payments the City will make to pay debt service on the SRF Loan, plus the finance charge for the SRF Loan, as described above, not paid with the proceeds of the SRF Loan, calculated to the final maturity of the SRF Loan, is $67,899,300, which excludes any reserves or capitalized interest paid or funded with proceeds of the SRF Loan (which may offset such total payment amount).
The foregoing estimates constitute good faith estimates only as of April 30, 2025, and are based on information
provided to the State Water Board. The actual principal amount of the SRF Loan issued and sold, the true interest cost thereof, the finance charges thereof, the amount of proceeds received therefrom and total payment amount with respect thereto may differ from such good faith estimates due to (a) the actual date of the entering into the SRF Loan being different than the date assumed for purposes of such estimates, (b) the actual principal amount of SRF Loan sold being different from the Estimated Gross Principal Amount, (c) the actual amortization of the SRF Attachment 1
Loan being different than the amortization assumed for purposes of such estimates, (d) the actual interest rates at the time of sale of the SRF Loan being different than those estimated for purposes of such estimates, (e) other market conditions, (f) occurrence of principal forgiveness as expected or the timing therein, or (g) alterations in the City’s financing plan, or a combination of such factors.
The actual date of execution of the SRF Loan and the actual principal amount of the SRF Loan sold will be determined by the City based on the timing of the need for proceeds of the SRF Loan and other factors. Factors such as the final loan repayment schedule, any changes to the interest rate on the SRF Loan, timing of the execution of the SRF loan and/or the forgiveness of a portion of the SRF Loan principal may be affected by factors beyond the control of the City, or the PMC.
