Item No.7H
TO:Andrew P. Powers, City Manager
FROM:Clifford G. Finley, Public Works Director
DATE:July 5, 2022
SUBJECT: Lawrence Drive and Teller Road Project Budget (CI 5297) RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve $150,000 additional construction contingency for contract with Toro Enterprises, Inc. of Oxnard, CA (Contract No. 12967-2022) for Lawrence Drive and Teller Road Intersection Improvements project (CI 5297).
2. Approve budget appropriation and expenditure in the amount of $150,000 from A/C #001-0000-311-1000 (General Fund, Fund Balance) to A/C #001-5310-631- 8300 (CI 5297, Lawrence Drive and Teller Road Intersection Improvements Project).
3. Delegate authority to the City Engineer to approve changes to the design, plans, specifications, and working details of the project on work directives and change orders up to the project contingency value.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
$150,000 Increase to Adopted FY 2022-23 General Fund Budget. $150,000 increase to FY 2022-23 General Fund Budget is requested. Total project cost is estimated at $2,670,711.
BACKGROUND:
The project consists of widening and realigning of Teller Road at Lawrence Drive in the Rancho Conejo Biotech area to align the eastbound and westbound lanes through the intersection, construct roadway pavement, sidewalk, crosswalks, curb and gutter, curb ramps, installation of traffic signals, signing and striping, and landscaping.
The project will expand the paved width of Teller Road from 40 feet to 64 feet and create a new dedicated signalized left turn lane on Teller Road (Attachment #1).

2 On January 11, 2022, City Council approved a construction contract with Toro Enterprises, Inc. (Contract No. 12967-2022), in the amount of $1,865,097, plus a contingency of $186,500. The City has expended $180,426.77 of the contingency to date for three change orders as follows:
Change Order #1 was executed on April 22, 2022, in the amount of $75,485.40 for installing a slough wall, parkway drains, and implementation of storm drain modifications to improve intersection drainage. Change Order #2 was executed on May 17, 2022, in the amount of $28,698.21 for additional surveying, realignment of storm drain pipes due to conflicts, and reconstruction of a wastewater maintenance hole. Change Order #3 was executed on June 20, 2022, in the amount of $76,243.16 for reconstruction of a storm drain manhole, sidewalk realignment, and adjustment of bid item quantities to match field conditions.
The project is approximately 80 percent complete with remaining original construction contingency of $6,073.23.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
Staff anticipates a need for additional construction contingency funding to cover the cost of the anticipated extra work required to complete the project, including:
Additional concrete pavement and curb ramps for the sidewalk on the southside of Teller Road.
Extra electrical work at the northwest corner of the intersection due to utility conflicts requiring relocation of the proposed Southern California Edison electrical vault.
Reconstruction of bioswale to incorporate design changes due to unexpected utility conflicts.
Repair of existing sidewalk hazards on south side of Teller Road west of the intersection.
Irrigation and landscaping modifications due to realignment of the sidewalk on the north side and the added sidewalk on the southside of Teller Road. Bid item quantity adjustments based on the actual field measurements, and material cost increases.
The approximately 400 feet of added sidewalk within the project limits on the south side of Teller Road will improve overall pedestrian accessibility for the area, allowing continuous sidewalk access across the intersection on the south side of Teller Road. In addition, the added sidewalk will better connect the project with the City’s future sidewalk and pedestrian improvements in the Rancho Conejo Biotech area as part of future capital improvement project CI 5664.

2. Authorize staff to waive formal Request for Proposal/Qualifications (RFP/Q) process for the preparation of an EIR for the proposed mixed-use development located at 2150 Hilcrest Drive and approve Envicom Corporation agreement pursuant to Thousand Oaks Municipal Code (TOMC) Section 3-10.501.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
$252,360 Increase to Adopted FY 2022-23 General Fund Budget, Fully Offset by Applicant Fee Revenue. $252,360 increase to the Adopted FY 2022-23 General Fund Budget is required for the preparation of an EIR and will be reimbursed by the applicant at the completion of the project. Other costs are limited to staff time to prepare this report and assist in the preparation of the EIR are offset by application fees paid by the applicant and are included in the Adopted FY 2022- 23 General Fund Budget.
BACKGROUND:
At the April 27, 2021 City Council meeting, City Council approved RCA 2021- 70168 and LU 2021-70169 (Amgen Check-in Site pre-screen), a request to initiate Item No.7J

3 3
4 a General Plan Amendment from “Commercial” to “Commercial/Residential” and allocate 246 dwelling units of Citywide Measure E residential capacity and authorized concurrent processing of legislative actions and project entitlements for a proposed mixed-use project at the subject site.
At the March 29, 2022 City Council meeting, the applicant requested, and City Council approved, a time extension for RCA 2021-70168 and LU 2021-70169, extending time frame for submittal of formal application for a mixed-use development on the property at 2150 West Hillcrest Drive from April 27, 2022, to April 27, 2023. The extension was requested due to the time required to negotiate the sale of the subject property. In addition, the number of allocated units was adjusted from 246 to 243, based on a corrected amount of total site acreage.
On March 15, 2022, the applicant submitted Pre-Application (PAR) 2022-704241, which was reviewed by all relevant City agencies, departments, and representatives to provide development comments ahead of the applicant’s formal submittal. Following feedback provided to the applicant on June 1, 2022, staff began preparation of an Informal Request for Proposals (Informal RFP) to be sent to the City’s on-call consultants for EIR preparation services in anticipation of the formal application submittal.
On June 8, 2022, the City solicited proposals from seven pre-qualified environmental consultants. The proposals were required to be submitted no later than June 23, 2022. Staff received three competitive proposals and began the proposal review process. After thorough evaluation of all proposals, Envicom Corporation (Envicom) was selected by Community Development Department staff as the most qualified for the EIR project.
The scope of work for Envicom includes the preparation of an EIR for a request to allow construction of a mixed-use development with 333 residential units and 6,500 square foot commercial above semi-subterranean parking structures, including grading, hardscape, landscape, and encroachment into the protected zone of various oak and landmark trees on a 8.1-acre parcel.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
The specialized skills possessed by Envicom are needed to prepare and manage the EIR for the limited purpose and duration of the entitlement processing phase for the proposed mixed-use project. To successfully complete the environmental section/phase of the project in a timely and efficient manner, specialized project management for the environmental phase of the project, from Envicom, is required.
The proposed project has made significant progress through the entitlement phase. The Pre-Application has been submitted and reviewed, and the formal applications are to be submitted imminently. Based on the status of the project, it Item No.7J

4 is anticipated that the EIR will be completed by February 2023.
Envicom has previously served as environmental consultants for several environmental documents prepared and implemented by the City and has provided consulting services for other public agencies. The City has been satisfied with Envicom services and deliverables for various projects.
The City’s standard requirements for a proposal that could exceed $125,000 in value is to prepare and publish a separate RFP for only the one project instead of using a pool of candidates from a previously qualified pool. TOMC Section 3-
10.501, however, provides authority for City Council to waive a standard RFP/Q process under certain circumstances. Due to current project status, critical entitlement phase deadlines, and specialized skillset of Envicom, staff is requesting City Council waive the City’s formal RFP/Q requirements in this case and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement.
COUNCIL GOAL COMPLIANCE:
Meets the following City Council goals:
C. Operate City government in a fiscally and managerially responsible and prudent manner to ensure that the City of Thousand Oaks remains one of California's most desirable places to live, work, visit, recreate, and raise a family.
F. Provide and enhance essential infrastructure to ensure that the goals and policies of the Thousand Oaks General Plan are carried out and the City retains its role and reputation as a leader in protecting the environment and preserving limited natural resources.
J. Implement high quality revitalization projects within Thousand Oaks Boulevard and Newbury Road Areas; Develop a pedestrian-oriented, viable, and self- sustaining "Downtown;” and, continue to support production of long-term affordable housing.
I. Maintain a strong local employment base geared toward retaining high quality businesses; Sustain a healthy business community; and, Diversify the local economy, with a specific emphasis on small businesses and high technology/ biomedical jobs.

Item No.7J
TO:Andrew P. Powers, City Manager
FROM:Clifford G. Finley, Public Works Director
DATE:July 5, 2022
SUBJECT: Water Shortage Support
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve budget appropriation and authorize expenditure in the amount of $105,000 from A/C #611-0000-341-9900 (Water Fund, Net Position) to A/C #611- 8025-682-5699 (Contracted Services) for water conservation contract services for FY 2022-23.
2. Authorize City Manager to modify water use restrictions and/or the grace period for transition to low volume irrigation as necessary during City Council summer recess.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
$105,000 Increase to Adopted FY 2022-23 Water Fund Budget. $105,000 additional budget appropriation to Adopted FY 2022-23 Water Fund Budget is requested to cover contract services for water drought compliance and preparation for possible future volumetric limits. Staff time required to prepare this report is included in the Adopted FY 2022-23 Water Fund Budget.
BACKGROUND:
On March 28, 2022, the Governor issued an Executive Order, calling on all residents to reduce water use by 15 percent from 2020 levels. On April 26, 2022, Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) declared a Water Shortage Emergency Condition and adopted an Emergency Water Conservation Program (EWCP) for service areas that depend on supplies from the State Water Project (SWP).
On April 27, 2022, Calleguas Municipal Water District (Calleguas) adopted Resolution No. 2042 declaring a Water Shortage Emergency Condition and adopting an EWCP to reduce non-essential uses of water and preserve available Item No.7K
Water Shortage Support

8 water supplies for the greatest public benefit in their service area. On May 24, 2022, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-023 declaring a Level 4 Water Supply Shortage with minor modifications pursuant to Municipal Code Section
10.2.1107.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
Water conservation measures under a Level 4 Water Shortage are described in Municipal Code Section 10-2.1107 and limit outdoor watering to one day per week using hand watering or low volume irrigation systems. Exceptions are made to this restriction allowing an additional day of watering and the use of spray sprinklers for specific applications including active public playing fields and recreation areas, active recreation areas in licensed daycare centers and schools, golf course fairways and greens, necessary irrigation for erosion control and development- conditioned fuel modification zones.
Effective September 1st, the City will be required to adopt a 10-minute (instead of the current 15-minute) watering limit for special cases where traditional spray sprinklers are still permitted. Staff will bring this ordinance revision to City Council for consideration at the end of summer recess. This change is an MWD requirement under the rules of their Emergency Water Conservation Program handbook, which was released after City Council adopted the City’s Level 4 restrictions on May 24.
The City has engaged a patrol service to aid in the enforcement of the water use restrictions within its 18 square mile service area. Overnight monitoring services began the week of June 27, 2022. In addition, the City’s Public Works staff have been conducting ongoing enforcement. Residents and businesses observed to be in violation of the water use restrictions are first issued a warning. Further violations result in fines ($100 for second violation, $200 for third, $500 for fourth and subsequent). Should a fifth violation occur, a flow restrictor will be installed on the water supply line to the property, which will limit flow to only that needed for health and safety. Citations can be appealed under the City’s Administrative Hearing Procedures process. As part of this total budget recommendation, staff is seeking budget of $30,000 to cover anticipated costs of hiring an appeals officer to conduct such hearings.
MWD has warned its member agencies that a complete ban on outside irrigation will begin on September 1st if water use restrictions fail to garner the needed savings. There is also a strong likelihood that MWD will impose financial penalties on agencies for water use above established volumetric targets. The City needs to prepare for such an eventuality and is requesting $75,000 in budget to retain a consultant to evaluate alternative mechanisms for appropriately and fairly sharing those potential costs.

8 The City’s annual volumetric target is 80 gallons per capita per day (gpcd). To achieve this target, demand needs to be reduced by approximately 50 percent from the baseline normal use of 175 gpcd. The volumetric target is adjusted monthly based on historical seasonal demand patterns. As of June 23, 2022, the City was exceeding its June volumetric target of 106 gpcd by 36 percent (144 gpcd). Thus, good progress has been made to date, but significant further effort is needed with community-wide compliance to reduce water usage in compliance with the Level 4 restrictions.
The water supply and demand conditions are being monitored continuously with weekly updates provided to the City. Based on these conditions, additional water use restrictions may be necessary before the end of the summer, either due to a continued demand in excess of supply and/or due to additional mandates imposed by MWD or Calleguas, our suppliers. Should such a need arise, a recommendation is made to authorize the City Manager to modify water use restrictions so we may continue to comply in a timely manner.
COUNCIL GOAL COMPLIANCE:
Meets the following City Council goals:
F. Provide and enhance essential infrastructure to ensure that the goals and policies of the Thousand Oaks General Plan are carried out and the City retains its role and reputation as a leader in protecting the environment and preserving limited natural resources.

TO:Andrew P. Powers, City Manager
FROM:Kelvin Parker, Community Development Director
DATE:July 5, 2022
SUBJECT: Dudek Environmental Consulting Services
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve First Amendment to Task Order No. 2 (On-Call Contract No. 12520- 2020) with Dudek Consulting of Santa Barbara, CA, to complete environmental documents for the 1100 Rancho Conejo – Alexandria BioTech Campus Project, in the amount of $55,449, increasing the total not-to-exceed amount to $125,000.
2. Authorize expenditure in the amount of $55,449 from A/C #001-4210-641-5947 (Contracted Services – Billable Projects).
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No Additional Funding Requested. Minimal staff time required to prepare the report is included in the Adopted FY 2022-23 General Fund Budget. The applicant will need to deposit the requested funds before work is authorized to proceed.
BACKGROUND:
The approximately 19-acre site (located at 1100 Rancho Conejo Drive) is zoned Light Manufacturing (M-1) and has a land use designation of Industrial. The project site is developed with three buildings totaling approximately 165,000 square feet previously utilized by Amgen for office and laboratory uses until 2017. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) documents are needed for the proposed redevelopment of the site for a new life science campus of approximately 350,000 square feet (a net increase of approximately 183,000 square feet).
On June 23, 2020, City Council approved on-call professional services agreements with firms for various services. Included in these firms was an agreement between the City and Dudek Consulting (Dudek) to provide the City as-needed environmental consulting services up to $125,000 per task order and not-to- exceed $500,000 annually.

9 In March 2022, staff solicited proposals from the City’s On-call list for CEQA consultation for the 1100 Rancho Conejo – Alexandria BioTech Campus Project. Three (3) proposals were received. Staff evaluated each proposal and selected Dudek based on their prior experience with the City and similar projects, availability, timeliness, and positive reference checks.
On April 19, 2022, the City Manager approved Task Order #2 (Attachment #1) with Dudek for $69,551 to provide professional services in connection with preparation of the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the 1100 Rancho Conejo – Alexandria BioTech Campus Project.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
Task Order #2 was approved for $69,551 based on an estimate to complete an MND for environmental clearance. However, during the CEQA required investigation, several additional requirements arose. These requirements include additional background information, data, and studies; revisions to the MND due to an evolving Project Description; extensive project management coordination and meetings beyond those included in the underlying scope; and additional resources and staffing to prepare timely responses to comments; and for technical experts to attend the public hearing(s). The current task order amount will not cover the expected total expenditure based on the need for additional work and labor.
Therefore, staff is requesting additional funds to fulfill the contractual obligation to the consultant for delivering the environmental document and associated tasks.
First Amendment to Task Order No. 2 (Attachment #2) is requested for $55,449 to finalize the environmental documents. The First Amendment includes $33,731 to complete the CEQA analysis. The amended work effort includes preparation of additional background information, data and studies to augment the impact analysis in the draft MND; recovering costs associated with revisions to the MND due to an evolving Project Description; recouping costs associated with extensive project management coordination and meetings beyond those included in the underlying scope; anticipating resources and staffing to provide robust response to comments reflective of the work effort required to prepare response to comments for other recently processed environmental documents; and allowing for additional technical experts to be available at public hearings. Further, staff proposes to include a contingency amount of $21,718 to timely address any further issues and not unnecessarily delay the project’s consideration by the Planning Commission. The applicant is to augment the deposit fee they have paid so the City will fully recover its costs from the applicant’s deposit fund.
The Draft MND is being finalized and is expected to be released for public comment in July 2022. Based on the status of the project, the final tasks of the Item No.7L

EXHBIIT “A” - SCOPE OF WORK
TASK ORDER 2 AMENDMENT 1
Task 2.1 Assessment of Project Description and Preparation of Technical Reports This task was originally to intended to for Dudek t o review the foundational background materials, a stable Project Description, and techni cal reports. Dudek’s assumptions on the original scope of work included commencement of work on the Administrative Draft Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND ) upon receipt of all background materials. While Dudek received materials, the maj ority of materials received were not sufficient to provide analysis both I the level of information provided, the accuracy of the information and / or the quality of data provided. Foundational background documentation, including the Project Description, w as updated by the applicant on an ongoing basis and not in conformance with the sched ule agreed upon by the Applicant team, including the day the Administrative Draft MND was being finalized.
Task 2.1.1 Biological Resources
Additional biological technical staff work (i.e. co nducting a rare plants survey) and time was required to investigate site conditions and com plete the biological resources assessment.
Task 2.1.2 Hazards and Hazardous Materials Assessments
This amendment to ESA’s original hazards and hazard ous materials scope of work has been prepared for Dudek to review additional materi als provided by the applicant team from Ramboll associated with historic uses on the s ite. Dudek reviewed materials associated with soil contamination and soil vapors within the existing surface parking lot as well as underneath an existing industrial buildi ng to determine the presence/absence of hazards and hazardous materials associated with prior uses on the property.
Task 2.1.2.1 Preparation of Hazards and Hazardous M aterials Assessment Memorandum
Dudek will prepare a preliminary memorandum and ass ociated graphic(s) that summarizes the results of the Hazards and Hazardous Materials Assessment. The memorandum will substantiate the hazards and hazardous materials analysis in the Draft MND.
Task 4.1 Administrative Draft MND
Preparation of the Administrative Draft MND will require additional staff time. Extra senior level and technical staff work were required to work on Administrative Draft MND sections and revisions within a very compressed time frame i n response to updated information from the Applicant. Extra editorial and publications staff work were required to work on a compressed timeline.
Task 5.1 Screen Check Version MND
Preparation of the Screen Check Version MND will require additional staff time.
Item No.7L
cdd:410-40/Report to CC 02/pz [FILE ID: MND 2022-70188]
Task 7.1 Draft Responses to Comments and preparation of the First Draft Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
Additional resources and staffing are anticipated t o be necessary to prepare timely responses to comments.
Task 9.1 Project Management and Public Hearings
Dudek team members were involved in extensive proje ct management and coordination meetings beyond those include in the underlying sco pe. These meetings resulted in Dudek receiving information required to complete the Administrative Draft MND.
Dudek technical experts, including biological and h azardous material specialists, will attend City/applicant meetings as needed to respond to any questions regarding the CEQA analysis. Dudek assumes technical experts wil l be available at up to two public hearings. Should only one public hearing be required, only those cost well be expended.
Task 10.1 Contingency
City staff has identified a contingency of $21,718 for unexpected modifications to the scope of work to timely address any further issues and not unnecessarily delay the project’s consideration by the Planning Commission. This contingency budget would only be used as approved by City staff for services that are outside of the executed contract scope of work. The contingency fees are only to be collected if the Community Development Director determines the contingency amount is needed.

BACKGROUND:
The City’s Hill Canyon Treatment Plant (HCTP) is located at 9600 Santa Rosa Road and provides tertiary level wastewater treatment for the community. HCTP has been receiving Fats, Oils, and Greases (FOG) since late 2007 from a variety of haulers for the purpose of augmenting biogas production for renewable energy Item No.7M

9 generation through the onsite cogeneration system. From 2007 to 2011, various pump pits and temporary tanks were utilized for FOG reception, and in 2011, a FOG receiving station was built at the facility. From 2011 to present, the FOG receiving station has undergone several minor modifications and upgrades.
The FOG system is just one component of the HCTP renewable energy system. The system is comprised of the FOG station, the anaerobic digesters and the cogeneration system, the existing 584-kilowatt solar array, and a future microgrid with battery storage. Digester gas is utilized as a fuel source for the cogeneration system to generate both electricity and heat. The electricity produced from the cogeneration system is used to supply a portion of the facility’s energy demand and reduces the amount of power that is purchased from Southern California Edison. In addition, the heat generated from the cogeneration system is utilized to heat the anaerobic digesters, as well as the facility’s administration building.
The addition of FOG to the treatment plant is a critical element for the renewable energy initiatives. The conventional wastewater treatment process includes a solid waste stream, which is sent to anaerobic digesters for processing. The FOG is mixed with this solid waste stream. When decomposed in the anaerobic digesters, FOG augments the quantity of flammable gas produced, which in turn increases the potential for renewable energy production through the cogeneration system. This process takes a waste product and uses it to create an energy source.
One third of the digester gas produced is attributable to the addition of FOG. The City currently produces around three million kilowatt hours of electricity from cogeneration each year, which reduces the City’s energy costs by approximately $250,000 annually. This savings amount will likely increase in the future with completion of the microgrid and battery storage project.
The FOG is delivered to the HCTP from restaurants and facilities that generate FOG. Rather than allowing FOG to flow into the City’s wastewater collection system, which could lead to sanitary sewer blockages and overflows, FOG is captured at each restaurant using onsite grease interceptors and hauled away for disposal. Prior to HCTP accepting FOG in 2007, the primary locations for disposal were at rendering facilities located in Los Angeles County. HCTP’s acceptance of FOG in 2007 provided a local option for a limited amount of FOG disposal. The City also imposed a tipping fee, which is the fee charged to those who wish to dispose of FOG at HCTP, which was lower than the rendering facility tipping fees.
Local acceptance of FOG reduced disposal cost for restaurants and FOG haulers and resulted in fewer transport miles. The acceptance of FOG also created a revenue stream to assist in covering the costs of operation and maintenance of the receiving station. The City currently receives approximately $400,000 per year in tipping fees from contracted haulers who bring FOG to HCTP. Since 2007, the FOG program has generated over $4,200,000 in tipping fees for the City.

9 The HCTP Master Plan (Master Plan) was completed in 2020, which was used to evaluate the treatment process and existing infrastructure, and provide a capital improvement plan to upgrade the HCTP facility as needed to serve the community well into the future. In addition to the primary wastewater treatment focus, other elements of the treatment plant and infrastructure were evaluated, and among those was the renewable energy portfolio. Recommendations from the Master Plan included making improvements to the cogeneration system, the FOG receiving station, and the solar array. Projects related to the solar array and the cogeneration system are being planned for future capital projects. Prior to upgrading the cogeneration system, one of the recommendations from the Master Plan is to design and construct a reliable FOG receiving station that includes new technologies/equipment with expansion potential to serve the facility’s needs into the future. The existing receiving station is undersized for the current volume and frequency of FOG deliveries, lacks redundancy in critical components, is situated relatively far from the anaerobic digesters, and is only partially automated which requires significant labor hours to monitor and control FOG deliveries and injection into the digesters.
On April 27, 2021, City Council approved an agreement with MKN & Associates, Inc., (MKN) of Arroyo Grande, CA, to perform the engineering design services and preparation of construction contract documents for the FOG Facility Improvements Project.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
The project consists of construction of a new FOG facility including, but not limited to procurement, installation and start-up of storage tanks, pumps, odor control, heat exchanger, screening equipment, concrete pads, routing of new piping and conduits, connection to existing piping, electrical panels, instrumentation, new lighting, and security cameras.
Due to the long lead time to manufacture and deliver essential screening equipment needed for this project, a Request for Bids, Specification #2021/2022- 12 and titled, FOG Screening Equipment, was publicly advertised on April 8, 2022, and on April 27, 2022, one bid was received as follows:

Total Estimated Cost $4,320,687.00
The overall project cost (including contingencies, design services during construction/testing, and project management) is estimated at $4,320,687. Additional appropriation at the time of construction award will be requested if necessary, depending on the actual bids received.
The project plans and specifications were completed by MKN and reviewed by City staff and are available for review upon request to the Public Works Department by e-mail at [email protected] or by phone at (805) 449-2400.
It is recommended that the project be advertised for bid. Once bids are received, a recommendation will be made at a future City Council meeting for award of the construction contract.
Community Outreach: This project will be limited to work at the HCTP and is not expected to impact any neighboring residences. The work will be at the north end of the plant and will have limited impact to plant operation. Construction related impacts to hiking trail users will be minimal.

Vendor warrants on behalf of itself and all subcontractors engaged for the performance of this work that only persons authorized to work in the United States pursuant to the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 and other applicable laws shall be employed in the performance of the work hereunder.
Vendor Non-Discrimination. In the performance of this work, Vendor agrees that it will not engage in, nor permit such subcontractors as it may employ, to engage in discrimination in employment of persons because of age, race, color, sex, national origin or ancestry, sexual orientation, or religion of such persons.
Work Delays. Should Vendor be obstructed or delayed in the work required to be done hereunder by changes in the work or by any default, act, or omission of City, or by strikes, fire, earthquake, or any other Act of God, or by the inability to obtain materials, equipment, or labor due to federal government restrictions arising out of defense or war programs, then the time of completion may, at City's sole option, be extended for such periods as may be agreed upon by City and Vendor.
Inspection. Vendor shall furnish City with every reasonable opportunity for City to ascertain that the services of Vendor are being performed in accordance with the requirements and intentions of this Agreement. All work done and all materials furnished, if any, shall be subject to City's inspection and approval. The inspection of such work shall not relieve Vendor of any of its obligations to fulfill its contract requirements.
Audit. Vendor shall maintain, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, complete and accurate records of all activities and operations relating to this Agreement. Records, including but not limited to, timecards, employment records, work progress reports, reimbursements, invoices, project records, proprietary data and information, as well as licensed software and any electronic records shall be kept for a Item No.7M
DPW: 850-20\cg\dlz\ev\Council\2022\062822\CI 5441\FOG Facility Improvements Project.docx
period of four years beyond the termination or expiration of this Agreement. Vendor agrees that City, or its authorized representative, shall have the right to examine, audit, excerpt, copy or transcribe any of the records pertaining to this Agreement at any time during normal business hours. Vendor shall reimburse City for all reasonable costs of the audit, including travel time and auditor costs, should such audit reveal an overcharge of five (5) percent or more. Any overcharge will be considered a breach of this Agreement and could be cause for termination. The obligations of this section shall be explicitly included in any subcontracts or other agreements entered into by Vendor with respect to this Agreement, if allowed by this Agreement.
6. TERM, PROGRESS AND COMPLETION
This Agreement shall expire on December 31, 2023, unless Vendor's authorized work assigned before the expiration of the term is not completed by that date. If work has not been completed during the allotted Agreement period, the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including all rights and obligations, shall remain in effect and bind the parties until the work is completed.
Vendor shall not commence work on the services to be performed until (i) Vendor furnishes proof of insurance as required by paragraph 9 below, and (ii) City gives written authorization to proceed with the work provided by City’s Project Manager.
7. NO ASSIGNMENT
This Agreement is not assignable by Vendor without City's prior consent in writing.
8. HOLD HARMLESS AND INDEMNITY
(a) Hold Harmless for Vendor's Damages. Vendor holds City, its elected officials, officers, agents, employees and volunteers, harmless from all of Vendor's claims, demands, lawsuits, judgments, damages, losses, injuries or liability to Vendor, to Vendor's employees, to Vendor’s contractors or subcontractors, or to the owners of Vendor's firm, which damages, losses, injuries or liability occur during the work or services required under this Agreement, or performance of any activity or work required under this Agreement.
(b) Defense and Indemnity of Third-Party Claims/Liability. Vendor shall indemnify, defend with legal counsel approved by City, and hold harmless City, its elected officials, officers, agents, employees and volunteers from and against all liability including, but not limited to, loss, damage, expense, cost (including without limitation reasonable legal counsel fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation) of every nature arising out of or in connection with Vendor’s negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct in the performance of work hereunder or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in the Agreement, except such loss or damage which is caused by the sole or active negligence or willful misconduct of City. Should conflict of interest principles preclude a single legal counsel from representing both City and Vendor, or should City otherwise find Vendor’s legal counsel unacceptable, then Vendor shall Item No.7M
DPW: 850-20\cg\dlz\ev\Council\2022\062822\CI 5441\FOG Facility Improvements Project.docx
reimburse City its costs of defense, including without limitation reasonable legal counsel fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation. Vendor shall promptly pay City any final judgment rendered against City (and its officers, officials, employees and volunteers) with respect to claims determined by a trier of fact to have been the result of Vendor’s negligent, reckless or wrongful performance. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California and will survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.
Vendor’s obligations under this section apply regardless of whether or not such claim, charge, damage, demand, action, proceeding, loss, stop notice, cost, expense, judgment, civil fine or penalty, or liability was caused in part or contributed to by an Indemnitee. However, without affecting the rights of City under any provision of this Agreement, Vendor shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless City for liability attributable to the active negligence of City, provided such active negligence is determined by agreement between the parties or by findings of a court of competent jurisdiction. In instances where City is shown to have been actively negligent and where City’s active negligence accounts for only a percentage of the liability involved, the obligation of Vendor will be for that entire portion or percentage of liability not attributable to the active negligence of City.
(c) Nonwaiver. City does not waive, nor shall be deemed to have waived, any indemnity, defense or hold harmless rights under this section because of the acceptance by City, or the deposit with City, of any insurance certificates or policies described in Section 9.
9. MINIMUM SCOPE AND LIMIT OF INSURANCE
Without limiting Vendor’s indemnification of City, and prior to commencement of Work, Vendor shall obtain, provide, and maintain at its own expense during the term of this Agreement, and any extension thereof, policies of insurance of the type and amounts described below in a form that is satisfactory to City.
Coverage shall be at least as broad as:

DPW: 850-20\cg\dlz\ev\Council\2022\062822\CI 5441\FOG Facility Improvements Project.docx
including coverage of any owned, hired, non-owned, or rented vehicles, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit for each accident. (c) Worker’s Compensation: Vendor shall, at Vendor’s sole cost and expense and throughout the term of this Agreement, and any extensions thereof, carry workers’ compensation statutory benefits as required by law with employer’s liability limits no less than $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury or disease. Vendor shall submit to City, along with the certificate of insurance, a Waiver of Subrogation endorsement in favor of City, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers for all work performed by Vendor, its employees, agents and subcontractors.
If Vendor maintains higher limits than the minimum shown above, City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by Vendor. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to City.
Other Insurance Provisions
The insurance policies are to contain, or be endorsed to contain, the following provisions:
Additional Insured Status
City, its elected officials, officers, agents, employees and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds on the CGL policy with respect to liability arising out of work or operations performed by or on behalf of Vendor including materials, parts, or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations. General liability coverage can be provided in the form of an endorsement to Vendor’s insurance (at least as broad as ISO Form CG 20 10 11 85 or if not available, through the addition of both CG 20 10 10 01 and CG 20 37 10 01 if a later edition is used). The provision shall also apply to any excess liability policies. In addition, Vendor shall ensure that the automobile liability policy contains a provision covering City as an additional insured, and shall obtain an endorsement to that effect if it does not.
Excess Insurance
The limits of insurance required in this agreement may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Umbrella or excess policies shall provide coverage at least as broad as specified for underlying coverages and covering those insured in the underlying policies. Coverage shall be “pay on behalf” with defense costs payable in addition to policy limits. There shall be no cross-liability exclusion of claims or suits by one insured against the other. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of City as required in written contract or agreement before City’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.
Item No.7M
DPW: 850-20\cg\dlz\ev\Council\2022\062822\CI 5441\FOG Facility Improvements Project.docx
City’s Rights of Enforcement
In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is cancelled and not replaced, City has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by City will be promptly reimbursed by Vendor, or City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Vendor’s payments. In the alternative, City may cancel this Agreement.
City’s Right to Revise Specifications
City reserves the right at any time during the term of the Agreement to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving Vendor ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to Vendor, City and Vendor may renegotiate Vendor's compensation.
Primary and Non-Contributory Coverage
For any claims related to this Agreement, Vendor's insurance coverage shall be primary insurance as respects City, its elected officials, officers, agents, employees and volunteers. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by City, its elected officials, officers, agents, employees or volunteers shall be excess of Vendor's insurance and shall not contribute with it and be at least as broad as CG 20 01 04 13.
Notice of Cancellation
Each insurance policy required above shall provide that coverage shall not be canceled, except with notice to City.
Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions
Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City. City may require Vendor to provide proof of ability to pay losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses within the retention.
Acceptability of Insurers
All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance in the State of California, with a current A.M. Best’s rating of no less than A:VII, (unless otherwise acceptable to City).
Waiver of Subrogation
All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this Agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against City, its elected officials, officers, agents, employees or volunteers or shall specifically allow Vendor, or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications, to waive their right of recovery prior to Item No.7M
DPW: 850-20\cg\dlz\ev\Council\2022\062822\CI 5441\FOG Facility Improvements Project.docx
a loss. Vendor hereby waives his own right of recovery against City, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subcontractors.
Copies of these waivers shall be submitted to City prior to commencement of work.
Claims Made Policies
If any of the required policies provided coverage on a claims-made basis:
(a)The Retroactive Date must be shown and must be before the date of the Agreement or the beginning of contract work.
(b)Insurance must be maintained, and evidence of insurance must be provided for at least five (5) years after completion of the work required under this Agreement. (c)If coverage is canceled or non-renewed, and not replaced with another claims-made policy form with a Retroactive Date prior to the Agreement effective date, Vendor must purchase “extended reporting” coverage for a minimum of five (5) years after completion of Agreement work.
Verification of Coverage
Vendor shall provide City with copies of certificates (on City certificate form or an Accord form as modified per City direction) for all policies, with the appropriate named additional insured coverage and an endorsement that they are not subject to cancellation without 30 days prior written notice to City. All certificates and endorsements are to be received and approved by City before work commences. However, failure to obtain the required documents prior to the work beginning shall not waive Vendor's obligation to provide them. City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, including endorsements required by these specifications, at any time.
Subcontractors
Vendor shall require and verify that all subcontractors maintain insurance meeting all the requirements stated herein, and Vendor shall ensure that City is an additional insured on insurance required from subcontractors. For CGL coverage, subcontractors shall provide coverage with a form at least as broad as CG 20 38 04 13.
10. RELATION OF THE PARTIES
(a)Consultant is and shall at all times remain as to the City a wholly independent contractor. The personnel performing the services under this Agreement on behalf of Contractor shall at all times be under Consultant's exclusive direction and control. Neither City nor any of its officers, employees, agents, or volunteers shall have control over the conduct of Consultant or any of Consultant's officers, employees, or agents except as set forth in this Agreement. Consultant shall not at any time or in any manner represent that it or any of its officers, employees or agents are in any manner Item No.7M
DPW: 850-20\cg\dlz\ev\Council\2022\062822\CI 5441\FOG Facility Improvements Project.docx
officers, employees or agents of the City. Consultant shall not incur or have the power to incur any debt, obligation or liability whatever against City, or bind City in any manner. (b)No employee benefits shall be available to Consultant in connection with the performance of this Agreement. Except for the fees paid to Consultant as provided in the Agreement, City shall not pay salaries, wages, or other compensation to Consultant for performing services hereunder for City. City shall not be liable for compensation or indemnification to Consultant for injury or sickness arising out of performing services hereunder.
11. TERMINATION BY CITY
City may terminate any portion, or all of the services agreed to be performed under this Agreement by notifying Vendor in writing 30 calendar days prior to any termination.
In the event of such termination, Vendor shall have the right and obligation to immediately assemble work in progress for the purpose of closing out the job. All compensation for actual work performed and charges outstanding at the time of termination shall be payable by City to Vendor within 30 days following submission of a final statement by Vendor.
12. CORRECTIONS
Vendor shall correct, at its expense, all errors in the work which may be disclosed during City's review of Vendor's work. Should Vendor fail to make such correction in a reasonably timely manner, such correction shall be made by City, and the cost thereof shall be charged to Vendor.
13. ACCEPTANCE OF FINAL PAYMENT CONSTITUTES RELEASE
The acceptance by Vendor of the final payment made under this Agreement shall operate as and be a release of City from all claims and liabilities for compensation to Vendor for anything done, furnished or relating to Vendor's work or services. Acceptance of payment shall be any negotiation of City's check or the failure to make a written extra compensation claim within five (5) calendar days of the receipt of that check, whichever occurs first. However, any approval or payment by City shall not constitute, nor be deemed, a release of the responsibility and liability of Vendor, its employees, subcontractors, agents and consultants for the accuracy and competency of the information provided and/or work performed; nor shall such approval or payment be deemed to be an assumption of such responsibility or liability by City for any defect or error in the work prepared by Vendor, its employees, subcontractors, agents and consultants.
14. WAIVER; REMEDIES CUMULATIVE
Failure by a party to insist upon the strict performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement by the other party, irrespective of the length of time for which such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver of such party's right to demand strict compliance Item No.7M
DPW: 850-20\cg\dlz\ev\Council\2022\062822\CI 5441\FOG Facility Improvements Project.docx
by such other party in the future. No waiver by a party of a default or breach of the other party shall be effective or binding upon such party unless made in writing by such party, and no such waiver shall be implied from any omissions by a party to take any action with respect to such default or breach. No express written waiver of a specified default or breach shall affect any other default or breach, or cover any other period of time, other than any default or breach and/or period of time specified.
15. CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Vendor is unaware of any City employee or official that has a financial interest in Vendor's business. During the term of this Agreement and/or as a result of being awarded this Agreement, Vendor shall not offer, encourage or accept any financial interest in Vendor's business by any City employee or official. If a portion of Vendor's services called for under this Agreement shall ultimately be paid for by reimbursement from and through an agreement with a developer of any land within City or with a City franchisee, Vendor warrants that it has not performed any work for such developer/franchisee within the last 12 months, and shall not negotiate, offer or accept any contract or request to perform services for that identified developer/franchisee during the term of this Agreement.
16. NON-APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS
Payments due and payable to Vendor for current services are within the current budget and within an available, unexhausted and unencumbered appropriation of City funds. In the event City has not appropriated sufficient funds for payment of Vendor’s services beyond the current fiscal year, this Agreement shall cover only those costs incurred up to the conclusion of the current fiscal year.
17. GOVERNING LAW; CAPTIONS; ENTIRE AGREEMENT BETWEEN PARTIES This Agreement, and the rights and obligations of the parties, shall be governed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

4. Purpose and Intent
The purpose of Specific Plan No. 23 is to encourage private investment in upgrading this site and to establish an architectural theme and the development policies and standards to guide the future use , design, circulation, and development of the land within the boundaries of the Specific Plan.
Adoption of this Specific Plan is a legislative act establishing specific regulations which apply within its boundaries. These regulations may be specific in some areas , and somewhat general in others. They form standards that future development projects must adhere to. A specific plan is analogous to zoning in that regard. As with any property in the City, development of any portion of the site within the Specific Pl an requires the approval of an appropriate entitlement application(s) that must comply with the regulations set forth in this Specific Plan, as well as all other applicable City regulations, codes, guidelines, and policies. Unless specifically waived or modified herein, all applicable regulations of Title 9 (Planning and Zoning) of the Thousand Oaks Municipal Code (TOMC), and all other resolutions and policies related to land development in the city, shall apply to development within the Specific Plan area.
5. Statement of The Relationship Of Specific Plan To City’s General Plan As to the relationship of Specific Plan No. 23 to the City’s General Plan:
(i) That General Plan states “high density residential development” like the proposed multi-family residential development “should be located primarily at sites accessible and close to major centers of activity and along the Ventura Freeway.”
(ii) The present site is underutilized containing an existing industrial office building within a previously developed site within close proximity of existing commercial, institutional, educational, and industrial uses .
This Specific Plan is consistent with the General Plan goal to “enhance . . . attractiveness of the Conejo Valley” because it would provide infill housing, publicly accessible open space and commercial uses; (iii) Allowing multi-family residential uses and parking structure development on this site is consistent with the General Plan ’s Industrial and High Density Residential 15 -30 dwelling units per net acre land use designation; and
(iv) Having new residential units at this location is consistent with the General Plan’s job and housing balance 1 by providing a 264 unit 1 “To provide the framework for a planned and unified community containing a balance of living, working, shopping, educational, civic, cultural and recreational facilities.” ORD. NO. 1701-NS
Item No.7N
cdd:440-35\CITY COUNCIL ORD-SP\pz(FILE ID 21-71106)]
residential development within close proximity to commercial uses and entry level workforce housing close to the City’s major employment center in the nearby industrial centers to the east and commercial uses to the west within the Thousand Oaks Boulevard area (Specific Plan 20), so these residents will be able to work nearby.
(v) In addition, the proposed development is consistent with greenhouse gas reduction sustainability concepts because the project includes proposed development that is within walking distance to retail and restaurants or to nearby shops and restaurants and close to employment centers. Thousand Oaks Boulevard runs along the northern property line with industrial and commercial centers to the east and north of this site. Nearby City bus routes adjacent to the site along Thousand Oaks Boulevard and to the southeast at Via Merida, with five (5) others within approximately half mile, providing service connections along South Lakeview Canyon Road, Hampshire Road, Hillcrest Drive, Moorpark Road, Westlake Village, and the Thousand Oaks Transit Center . Further, the US 101 freeway on and off ramps are nearby to the southwest.
6. Use Areas
The following uses only shall be permitted within Specific Plan No. 23 subject to requirements and conditions of a Development Permit granted in the manner provided in Article 28 of the Thousand Oaks Municipal Code.
As shown on Exhibit “3,” which is perma nently retained on file with the City, the Specific Plan area will consist of the following two (2) use areas:
“Industrial Use” within Planning Area 2, allowing an existing industrial office building and proposed parking structure which encapsulates related industrial uses and services, all as a permitted use . Planning Area 2 is compatible with the existing Industrial Park zoning for site and consistent with the M -1 zoning designation. Other potential uses compatible with the primary “ Industrial Use ” may be considered with Community Development Director or designee approval.
“Multi-family Residential” area allowing 264 residential units distributed across four, three -story, podium style multi -family residential buildings with related amenities and accessory uses for its residents and their guests.

4. State Enabling Statute . To strengthen the public planning process, encourage private participation in comprehensive planning and reduce the economic risk of development, the Leg islature of the State of California adopted the Development Agreement Act which authorizes any city to enter into binding development agreements establishing certain development rights in real property with persons having legal or equitable interest in suc h property. Section 65864 of the Development Agreement Act expressly provides as follows:
“The Legislature finds and declares that:
(a) The lack of certainty in the approval of development projects can result in a waste of resources, escalate the cost of housing and other development to the consumer,
and discourage investment in and a commitment to
comprehensive planning which would make maximum
efficient utilization of resources at the least economic cost to the public.
(b) Assurance to the applicant for a d evelopment project that upon approval of the project, the applicant may
proceed with the project in accordance with existing
policies, rules and regulations, and subject to conditions of approval will strengthen the public planning process,
encourage priva te participation in comprehensive
planning, and reduce the economic cost of development.”
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to ensure that the City remains responsive and accountable to its residents while pursuing the benefits of development agreements contemplated by the Legislature, the City: (1) accepts restraints on its police powers contained in development agreements only to the extent and for the duration required to achieve the mutual objectives of the Parties as permitted hereunder; and (2) to offse t controls and conditions imposed on development project applications.
5. Purpose of this Agreement.
5.1. Public Benefits. This Agreement provides assurances that the public benefits identified in Section 6.1, below, will be achieved in accordance with the ORD. NO. 1702-NS

Part 1
(Uncodfied)
Based upon the information contained in the Staff Report and testimony provided at the public hearing, the City Council makes the following findings:
1. On October 9, 2015, the State of California enacted the Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MCRSA) that established regulations for the commercial cultivation, transportation, manufacturing, distribution, testing and dispensing of medical cannabis in the state;
2. The citizens of the State of California passed Proposition 64 on November 8, 2016, also known wa s the Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA), establishing a similar framework for the commercial aspects of cannabis for non-medical purposes;
3. On June 27, 2017 the State enacted regulations repealing MCRSA and combining standards for both medical and non -medical cannabis, creating the Medicinal and Adult -Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MAUCRSA) MAUCRSA acknowledges the ability of a local jurisdiction to regulate or prohibit any or all types of State licensing categories of commercial cannabis activities within its jurisdictional boundaries;
4. City Council adopted Municipal Code Amendment 2017 -70260 after receiving significant information and public input, setting a maximum of ORD NO. 1703-NS

5. On January 16, 2019, Title 16, Section 5416(d) of the California Code o f Regulations adopted by the State of California went into effect.
Section 5416(d) permits commercial cannabis Delivery from State of California-licensed retail operators to all counties and cities within California;

8. The Municipal Code amendment is consistent with and does not conflict with State law and any element of the Thousand Oaks General Plan, and;
9. The amendment is not a project as defined by California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3 ) in that there is a common sense exemption for projects where it can be seen with certainty that there is not possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. It is therefore exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act.
