Allocation Agreement, the Cities of Los Angeles, Oakland, San Diego, San Jose and Eureka will be deemed to have elected direct payment if they become Participating Subdivisions.
e) The State will receive the Local Allocation share of any payment to the Settlement Fund that is attributable to a county or city that is eligible to become a CA Participating Subdivision, but that has not, as of the date of that payment to the Settlement Fund, become a Participating Subdivision.
f) Funds received by a CA Participating Subdivision, and not expended or encumbered within five years of receipt and in accordance with the Teva Settlement Agreement and this CA Teva Allocation Agreement shall be transferred to the State; provided however, that CA Participating Subdivisions have seven years to expend or encumber CA Abatement Accounts Funds designated to support capital outlay projects before they must be transferred to the State. This provision shall not apply to the Cost Reimbursement Funds, which shall be controlled by Appendix 2.
ii. Use of CA Abatement Accounts Funds
a) The CA Abatement Accounts Funds will be used for future Opioid Remediation in one or more of the areas described in the List of Opioid Remediation Uses, which is Exhibit E to the Teva Settlement Agreement.
b) In addition to this requirement, no less than 50% of the funds received by a CA Participating Subdivision from the Abatement Accounts Fund in each calendar year will be used for one or more of the following High Impact Abatement Activities:
(1) the provision of matching funds or operating costs for substance use disorder facilities within the Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program; (2) creating new or expanded Substance Use Disorder (“SUD”) treatment infrastructure; (3) addressing the needs of communities of color and vulnerable populations (including sheltered and unsheltered homeless populations) that are disproportionately impacted by SUD;
(4) diversion of people with SUD from the justice system into treatment, including by providing training and resources to first and early responders (sworn and non-sworn) and implementing best practices for outreach, diversion and deflection, employability, restorative justice, and harm reduction; and/or
(5) interventions to prevent drug addiction in vulnerable youth. c) The California Department of Health Care Services (“DHCS”) may add to this list (but not delete from it) by designating additional High Impact Abatement Activities. DHCS 4
will make reasonable efforts to consult with stakeholders, including the CA Participating Subdivisions, before adding additional High Impact Abatement Activities to this list. d) For the avoidance of doubt, and subject to the requirements of the Teva Settlement Agreement and applicable law, CA Participating Subdivisions may form agreements or ventures, or otherwise work in collaboration with, federal, state, local, tribal or private sector entities in pursuing Opioid Remediation activities funded from the CA Abatement Accounts Fund. Further, provided that all CA Abatement Accounts Funds are used for Opioid Remediation consistent with the Teva Settlement Agreement and this CA Teva Allocation Agreement, a county and any cities or towns within the county may agree to reallocate their respective shares of the CA Abatement Accounts Funds among themselves, provided that any direct distribution may only be to a CA Participating Subdivision and any CA Participating Subdivision must agree to their share being reallocated.
iii. CA Abatement Accounts Fund Oversight
a) Pursuant to Section 5 below, CA Participating Subdivisions receiving settlement funds must prepare and file reports annually regarding the use of those funds. DHCS may regularly review the reports prepared by CA Participating Subdivisions about the use of CA Abatement Accounts Funds for compliance with the Teva Settlement Agreement and this CA Teva Allocation Agreement.
b) If DHCS determines that a CA Participating Subdivision’s use of CA Abatement Accounts Funds is inconsistent with the Teva Settlement Agreement or this CA Teva Allocation Agreement, whether through review of reports or information from any other sources, DHCS shall send a request to meet and confer with the CA Participating Subdivision. The parties shall meet and confer in an effort to resolve the concern. c) If the parties are unable to reach a resolution, DHCS may conduct an audit of the Subdivision’s use of the CA Abatement Accounts Funds within one year of the request to meet and confer, unless the parties mutually agree in writing to extend the meet and confer time frame.
d) If the concern still cannot be resolved, the State may bring a motion or action in the court where the State has filed its Consent Judgment to resolve the concern or otherwise enforce the requirements of the Teva Settlement Agreement or this CA Teva Allocation Agreement. However, in no case shall any audit be conducted, or motion be brought, as to a specific expenditure of funds, more than five years after the date on which the expenditure of the funds was reported to DHCS, in accordance with this agreement. e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement does not limit the statutory or constitutional authority of any state or local agency or official to conduct audits, 5
investigations, or other oversight activities, or to pursue administrative, civil, or criminal enforcement actions.
C. CA Subdivision Fund
i. Fifteen percent of the total Settlement Fund payments will be allocated to the CA Subdivision Fund. All funds in the CA Subdivision Fund will be allocated among the Plaintiff Subdivisions that are Initial Participating Subdivisions. The funds will be used, subject to any limits imposed by the Teva Settlement Agreement and this CA Teva Allocation Agreement, to fund future Opioid Remediation and reimburse past opioidrelated expenses, which may include fees and expenses related to litigation, and to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the Special Master as set forth in Appendix 2.
The CA Subdivision Funds will be allocated as follows:
a) First, funds in the CA Subdivision Fund shall be used to pay the Special Master’s reasonable fees and expenses in accordance with the procedures and limitations set forth in Appendix 2 to this document;
b) Second, funds will be allocated to Plaintiff Subdivisions that are Initial Participating Subdivisions that have been awarded Costs, as defined by and in accordance with the procedures and limitations set forth in Appendix 2 to this document. c) Funds remaining in the CA Subdivision Fund, which shall consist of no less than 50% of the total CA Subdivision Fund received in any year pursuant to Appendix 2, Section 2.c.v, will be distributed to Plaintiff Subdivisions that are Initial Participating Subdivisions, in relative proportion to the Local Allocation. These funds shall be used to fund future opioid-related projects and to reimburse past opioid-related expenses, which may include fees and expenses related to litigation against any Opioid Defendant.
D. Provision for State Back-Stop Agreement
On August 6, 2021, Judge Dan Polster of the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, issued an order (ECF Docket Number 3814) (“MDL Fees Order”) in the National Prescription Opiate Litigation (MDL No. 2804) “cap[ping] all applicable contingent fee agreements at 15%.” Private counsel representing Plaintiff Subdivisions should seek its contingency fees and costs from the Attorney Fee Fund or Cost Funds under the Teva Settlement Agreement and Allergan Settlement Agreement, and, if applicable, the CVS Settlement Agreement, Distributor Settlement Agreement, Janssen Settlement Agreement, Walgreens Settlement Agreement, and Walmart Settlement Agreement.
A Plaintiff Subdivision may separately agree to use its share of the CA Subdivision Fund to pay for fees or costs incurred by its contingency-fee counsel (“State Back-Stop Agreement”), pursuant to Exhibit R, section I(X), of the Teva Settlement Agreement and the MDL Fees Order, 6
so long as such contingency fees do not exceed a total contingency fee of 15% of the total gross recovery of the Plaintiff Subdivision pursuant to the Teva Settlement, inclusive of contingency fees from the national Attorney Fee Fund and this State Back-Stop Agreement. Before seeking fees or litigation costs and expenses from a State Back-Stop Agreement, private counsel representing Plaintiff Subdivisions must first seek contingency fees and costs from the Attorney Fee Fund or Cost Funds created under the Teva Settlement Agreement. Further, private counsel may only seek reimbursement for litigation fees and costs that have not previously been reimbursed through prior settlements or judgments.
To effectuate a State Back-Stop Agreement pursuant to this section, an agreement in the form of Appendix 3 may be entered into by a Plaintiff Subdivision, private counsel, and the California Office of the Attorney General. The California Office of the Attorney General shall, upon the request of a Plaintiff Subdivision, execute any agreement executed by a Plaintiff Subdivision and its private counsel if it is in the form of Appendix 3. The California Office of the Attorney General will also consider requests from Plaintiff Subdivisions to execute and enter into agreements presented in other forms.
For the avoidance of doubt, this agreement does not require a Plaintiff Subdivision to request or enter into a State Back-Stop Agreement, and no State Back-Stop Agreement shall impose any duty or obligation on the State of California or any of its agencies or officers, including without limitation the Attorney General.
5. State and Subdivision Reporting
a) DHCS will prepare an annual written report regarding the State’s use of funds from the settlement until those funds are fully expended and for one year thereafter. These reports will be made publicly available on the DHCS web site.
b) Each CA Participating Subdivision that receives payments of funds from the settlement will prepare written reports at least annually regarding the use of those funds, until those funds are fully expended and for one year thereafter. These reports will also include a certification that all funds that the CA Participating Subdivision has received through the settlement have been used in compliance with the Teva Settlement Agreement and this CA Teva Allocation Agreement. The report will be in a form reasonably determined by DHCS. Prior to specifying the form of the report DHCS will confer with representatives of the Plaintiff Subdivisions.
c) The State and all CA Participating Subdivisions receiving CA Abatement Accounts Funds will track all deposits and expenditures. Each such subdivision is responsible solely for the CA Abatement Accounts Funds it receives. A county is not responsible for oversight, reporting, or monitoring of CA Abatement Accounts Funds received by a city within that county that receives direct payment. Unless otherwise exempt, Subdivisions’ expenditures and uses of CA Abatement Accounts Funds and other Settlement Funds will be subject to the normal budgetary and expenditure process of the Subdivision. 7
d) Each Plaintiff Subdivision receiving CA Subdivision Funds will track all deposits and expenditures, as required by the Teva Settlement Agreement and this CA Teva Allocation Agreement. Among other things, Plaintiff Subdivisions using monies from the CA Subdivision Fund for purposes that do not qualify as Opioid Remediation must identify and include in their annual report, the amount and how such funds were used, including if used to pay attorneys’ fees, investigation costs, or litigation costs. Pursuant to Section VIII(C) of the Teva Settlement Agreement, such information must also be reported to the Settlement Fund Administrator and Teva.
e) In each year in which DHCS prepares an annual report DHCS will also host a meeting to discuss the annual report and the Opioid Remediation activities being carried out by the State and Participating Subdivisions.
6. Miscellaneous
a) The State or any CA Participating Subdivision may bring a motion or action in the court where the State has filed its Consent Judgment to enforce the requirements of this CA Teva Allocation Agreement. Before filing such a motion or action the State will meet and confer with any CA Participating Subdivision that is the subject of the anticipated motion or action, and vice versa.
b) Except as provided in the Teva Settlement Agreement, this CA Teva Allocation Agreement is not enforceable by any party other than the State and the CA Participating Subdivisions. It does not confer any rights or remedies upon, and shall not be enforceable by, any third party.
c) Except as provided in the CA Teva Allocation Agreement, if any provision of this agreement or the application thereof to any person, entity, or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this agreement, or the application of such provision to persons, entities, or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, will not be affected thereby, and each other provision of this agreement will be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. d) Except as provided in the Teva Settlement Agreement, this agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of California. 8

APPENDIX 2
Cost Reimbursement Procedure
1. Additional defined terms:
a) Costs means the reasonable amounts paid for the attorney and other City Attorney and County Counsel staff time for individuals employed by a Plaintiff Subdivision at the contractual rate, inclusive of benefits and overhead, together with amounts paid for court reporters, experts, copying, electronic research, travel, vendors, and the like, which were not previously reimbursed and which were paid or incurred (i) prior to December 31, 2022 in litigation against any Opioid Defendant and/or (ii) in negotiating and drafting any CA Allocation Agreement(s) concerning a settlement with any Opioid Defendant(s).
Costs does not include attorneys’ fees, costs, or expenses incurred by private contingency fee counsel. No part of the CA Abatement Accounts Fund will be used to reimburse Costs.
b) First Claims Date means October 1, 2023 or when all applications for reimbursement of Costs, in whole or in part, from funds available under Section XIV and Exhibit R of the Teva Settlement Agreement, Section XIII and Exhibit R of the Allergan Settlement Agreement, Section X and Exhibit R of the Distributor Settlement Agreement, Section XI and Exhibit R of the Janssen Settlement Agreement, Section X and Exhibit R of the CVS Settlement Agreement, Section IX and Exhibit R of the Walgreens Settlement Agreement, or Section IX and Exhibit R of the Walmart Settlement Agreement, have been finally determined under the provisions of those agreements, whichever comes first. c) Special Master means a retired judicial officer or former public lawyer, not presently employed or retained by a Plaintiff Subdivision, who will aggregate, review, and determine the reasonable Costs to be awarded to each Plaintiff Subdivision that submits a claim for reimbursement of Costs. The Special Master will be selected by a majority vote of the votes cast by Plaintiff Subdivisions, with each such subdivision having one vote. d) Plaintiff Subdivision Committee means the committee of Plaintiff Subdivisions that will review and approve the invoices submitted by the Special Master reflecting his or her reasonable time and expenses.
2. Cost Reimbursement to Plaintiff Subdivision
a) Purpose. Substantial resources have been expended to hold Opioid Defendants accountable for creating and profiting from the opioid crisis, and this effort has been a significant catalyst in creating National Opioid Settlements with various manufacturers, distributors, and chain pharmacies.
b) Claims Procedure.
1
i. If a Plaintiff Subdivision is eligible to seek reimbursement of Costs, in whole or in part, from funds available under Section XIV and Exhibit R of the Teva Settlement Agreement, Section XIII and Exhibit R of the Allergan Settlement Agreement, Section X and Exhibit R of the CVS Settlement Agreement, Section IX and Exhibit R of the Walgreens Settlement Agreement, Section IX and Exhibit R of the Walmart Settlement Agreement, Section X or Exhibit R of the Distributor Settlement Agreement, or Section XI or Exhibit R of the Janssen Settlement Agreement, it must first make a timely application for reimbursement from such funds. To allow sufficient time for determination of those applications, no claim for Costs to the CA Subdivision Fund under this Agreement may be made before the First Claims Date. ii. A Plaintiff Subdivision that wishes to be reimbursed from the CA Subdivision Fund must submit a claim to the Special Master no later than forty-five (45) days after the First Claims Date. The Special Master will then compile and redistribute the aggregated claim totals for each Plaintiff Subdivision via email to representatives of all the Plaintiff Subdivisions. A claim for attorney and staff time must list, for each attorney or staff member included in the claim, the following information: name, title, total hours claimed, hourly rate (including, if sought, benefits and share of overhead), and narrative summarizing the general nature of the work performed by the attorney or staff member. For reimbursement of “hard” costs, the subdivision may aggregate across a category (e.g., total for travel costs). It is the intention of the Plaintiff Subdivisions that submission of documents related to reimbursement of Costs does not waive any attorney-client privilege or exemptions to the California Public Records Act.
iii. The Special Master may request, at his or her sole option, additional documents or details to assist in the final award of Costs.
iv. The Special Master will review claims for reasonableness and will notify each Plaintiff Subdivision of the final determination of its claim, and will provide a list of all final awards to all Plaintiff Subdivisions by email or, upon request, via First Class U.S. Mail. Any Plaintiff Subdivision may ask the Special Master to reconsider any final award within twenty-one (21) days. The Special Master will make a final determination on any such reconsideration request within thirty (30) days of receipt. v. Any decision of the Special Master is final and binding, and will be considered under the California Arbitration Act, Code of Civil Procedure section 1280 et seq. as a final arbitration award. Nothing in this agreement is intended to expand the scope of judicial review of the final award for errors of fact or law, and the Parties agree that they may only seek to vacate the award if clear and convincing evidence demonstrates one of the factors set forth in Code of Civil Procedure, section 1286.2, subdivision (a). Plaintiff Subdivisions will have fourteen (14) days after all final awards are made, together with any final determination of a request for reconsideration, to seek review in the Superior Court of California, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure, section 1285, where the State has filed its Consent Judgment. 2
vi. The Special Master will prepare a report of Costs that includes his or her fees and expenses at least ninety (90) days before the Payment Date for each Annual Payment. The Special Master’s preparation of a report of Costs does not discharge a Plaintiff Subdivision’s reporting requirement under Section VIII.C of the Teva Settlement Agreement.
vii. A member of the Plaintiff Subdivision Committee, which is a CA Participating Subdivision, will submit to the Settlement Fund Administrator and Teva a report of the fees and expenses incurred by the Special Master pursuant to Section VIII.C of the Teva Settlement Agreement.
c) Claims Priority and Limitation.
i. The Special Master will submit invoices for compensation of reasonable fees and expenses to the Plaintiff Subdivision Committee no later than ninety (90) days prior to the Payment Date for each Annual Payment. The Plaintiff Subdivision Committee will promptly review and, if reasonable, approve the Special Master’s invoice for compensation. The Plaintiff Subdivision Committee will submit approved invoices to the Settlement Fund Administrator for payment. The Special Master’s approved invoices have priority and will be paid first from the CA Subdivision Fund before any award of Costs, subject to the limitation in Section 2.c.v below. ii. Final Awards of Costs that do not exceed seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000.00) will be paid next in priority after the Special Master’s approved invoices.
iii. Final Awards of Costs in excess of seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000.00) will be paid proportionally from the funds remaining in that year’s Annual Payment. iv. Any claim for Costs that is not paid in full will be allocated against the next year’s distribution from the CA Subdivision Fund, until all approved claims for Costs are paid in full.
v. In no event will more than 50% of the total CA Subdivision Fund received in any year be used to pay Costs or the Special Master’s approved invoices. vi. In no event shall more than $28 million of the total CA Subdivision Funds paid pursuant to the Teva Settlement Agreement, Allergan Settlement Agreement, Distributor Settlement Agreement, CVS Settlement Agreement, Janssen Settlement Agreement, Walgreens Settlement Agreement, and the Walmart Settlement Agreement be used to pay Costs.
d) Collateral Source Payments and Third-Party Settlement. i. In the event a Plaintiff Subdivision is awarded compensation, in whole or in part, by any source of funds created as a result of litigation against an Opioid Defendant for 3
its reasonable Costs, it will reduce its claim for Costs from the CA Subdivision Fund by that amount. If a Plaintiff Subdivision has already received a final award of Costs from the CA Subdivision Fund, it will repay the fund up to the prior award of Costs via a payment to the Settlement Fund Administrator or notify the Settlement Fund Administrator that its allocation from the next and subsequent Annual Payments should be reduced accordingly. If the Plaintiff Subdivision is repaying any prior award of Costs, that repayment will occur as soon as is feasible after the Plaintiff Subdivision’s receipt of Cost funds from the collateral source, but no more than 90 days after its receipt from the collateral source. The Settlement Fund Administrator will add any repaid Costs to the CA Subdivision Fund. Any Plaintiff Subdivision that has submitted for reimbursement to any national fund and has not received a final determination by the First Claims Date may request that the settlement administrator withhold some or all of its payment from the CA Subdivision Fund in order to avoid repayment.
ii. In the event a Plaintiff Subdivision reaches a monetary settlement or compromise against any Opioid Defendant outside of the National Opioid Settlement, the monetary portion of such settlement, net of fees paid to outside contingency fee counsel and of funds earmarked strictly for abatement, will be credited against its Costs and the subdivision will be ineligible to recover those credited Costs from the CA Subdivision Fund. Plaintiff Subdivisions negotiating monetary settlements or compromises against any Opioid Defendant outside of the National Opioid Settlement will negotiate for funds to repay any Costs it previously received from the CA Subdivision Fund or for Costs it otherwise might be eligible to claim from the CA Subdivision Fund. If such a settlement is paid after all final approved claims for Costs by all Plaintiff Subdivisions are satisfied in full, the settling subdivision will reimburse the CA Subdivision Fund in that amount by making payment to the Settlement Fund Administrator to add to the CA Subdivision Fund in a manner consistent with the repayments described in section 2.d.i above. 4
APPENDIX 3
CALIFORNIA-SUBDIVISION BACKSTOP AGREEMENT
On August 6, 2021, Judge Polster of the US District Court for the Northern District of Ohio issued an Order (the Order), docket number 3814, in In Re National Prescription Opiate Litigation, MDL 2804, addressing contingent attorney fee contracts between political subdivisions eligible to participate in the Teva Settlement and their counsel.
In light of the Order, and at the request of [SUBDIVISION], the [SUBDIVISION], its counsel [COUNSEL], and the California Attorney General, on behalf of the State of California, are entering into this California-Subdivision Backstop Agreement (Backstop Agreement). [SUBDIVISION] and [COUNSEL] intend this Backstop Agreement to constitute a State BackStop Agreement as that term is used in the Order and in Exhibit R (Agreement on Attorneys’ Fees, Costs, and Expenses) of the Teva Settlement Agreement.
Pursuant to this Backstop Agreement, [SUBDIVISION] may, subject to the limitations of the Teva Settlement Agreement and CA Teva Allocation Agreement, as well as any other limitations imposed by law, use funds that it receives from the Teva Settlement CA Subdivision Fund to pay a contingent fee to [COUNSEL]. Any such payment from [SUBDIVISION] to [COUNSEL], together with any contingency fees that [COUNSEL] may receive from the national Attorney Fee Fund, will not exceed a total contingency fee of [PERCENTAGE NOT TO EXCEED 15%] of the total gross recovery of [SUBDIVISION] from the Teva Settlement. [COUNSEL] certify that they first sought fees and costs from the Attorney Fee Fund created under the Teva Settlement Agreement before seeking or accepting payment under this backstop agreement. [COUNSEL] further certify that they are not seeking and will not accept payment under this backstop agreement of any litigation fees or costs that have been reimbursed through prior settlements or judgments.
The Attorney General is executing this agreement solely because the definition of “State BackStop Agreement” in Exhibit R of the Teva Settlement Agreement requires such agreements to be between “a Settling State” and private counsel for a participating subdivision. Neither the California Attorney General nor the State of California have any obligations under this Backstop Agreement, and this Backstop Agreement does not require the payment of any state funds to [SUBDIVISION], [COUNSEL], or any other party.

ITEM NO: 2023-2515
AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Approve a Budget Amendment for a Contract with GSM Landscape to Prepare a Landscape Plan for McGarvey Park.
DEPARTMENT: Community Services PREPARED BY: Neil Davis, Community Services Director PRESENTER: Neil Davis, Community Services Director
ATTACHMENTS:
1. GSM Proposal
2. Integra Proposal
3. McGarvey Proposal Evaluation Summary
Summary: Council will consider approving a budget amendment for a contract with GSM Landscape to prepare a landscape plan for McGarvey Park.
Background: The City of Ukiah’s 43,000 square foot McGarvey Park occupies the block surrounded by West Clay street, South Dora Street, West Stephenson Street, and West Bush Street. The property was donated by Judge McGarvey in 1888. The location, plentiful shade, and abundant benches, along with some interesting flowering trees makes the park a popular stopping point. The park is actively and frequently used as a location for portrait photos as well as by picnickers, dog walkers and people looking for a comfortable place to rest.
However, the park’s traditional landscaping is overgrown with older plants, its paths are deteriorated with root humps, the irrigation needs replacement, and its central feature is a dilapidated and non-functional fountain.
The aging and deteriorated paths and irrigation require replacement. However, before replacement, it is necessary to decide what to do with the central “fountain” which subsequently calls into question the design and routing of the paths. A design plan is needed prior to seeking grant funding to replace the paths and irrigation.
The Purchasing Division released a Request for Proposals (RFP) to obtain a conceptual landscaping plan with enough detail to support future grant applications. Proposers were asked that the overall look and feel of the park remain unchanged. Additionally, the scope of work requires that the consultant prepare a palette of concepts to present to the Public Spaces Commission to allow for public comment.
Discussion: Proposals were received from GSM Landscape Architects (Attachment 1) and Integra Planning and Landscape Architecture (Attachment 2). The Purchasing Division assembled a review team with members from Community Services, Public Works, and Parks to review and score the proposals (Attachment 3).
Although cost was not one of the scored items, the GSM proposal scored higher and provided a lower proposal than the Integra proposal in the amount of $11,400. Staff plans to publicize a "one-subject" Community Forum at the Public Spaces Commission meeting in May or July to seek public review and comment on the first draft of the concept plan.
This project is part of the Council-adopted 22/23 Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan, and approved for the same budget year in the amount of $10,000. Staff is requesting the Council's approval to amend the budget in the amount of $1,400 to cover the cost of the winning proposal. Once approved, Staff will proceed with the preparation and execution of the contract.
Recommended Action: Approve a Budget Amendment for a Contract with GSM Landscape to Prepare a Landscape Plan for McGarvey Park.
BUDGET AMENDMENT REQUIRED: Yes
CURRENT BUDGET AMOUNT: 30022200.80220.18103: $10,000; 10000000.95300: $60,000; 30000000.91100: $60,000

We listen to and build consensus with clients to create designs that redevelop and re-establish key elements of mature parks in a modern, attractive, functional way with focus on long range sustainability. We provide a full range of services from schematic design to construction administration and project closeout, ensuring that our clients receive highquality finished projects.
We are the recipients of numerous park planning, facilitation and design awards and have long-standing working relationships with a number of cities, school districts, and agencies throughout the Bay Area and Northern California.

CREATING A MEANINGFUL EXPERIENCE
GSM will bring a perfect blend of imaginative ideas that echo the City’s commitment to promoting a high quality of life for residents and visitors. We thrive on creating detailed, exciting, and functional facilities focusing on safety and ease of maintenance. We understand and apply sustainable landscape principles and practices to our projects.
Our designs are engaging and specify time-tested materials that stand up to the challenges of the public environment. We are well-versed in construction cost estimating and offer strong construction administration experience in order to meet community needs and create long-lasting, well loved, parks and community facilities.
We are an excellent choice for Ukiah’s McGarvey Park Landscape Plan.
EFFECTIVE PUBLIC OUTREACH
GSM has been successful helping Northern California and Bay Area cities achieve their objectives through inclusive and engaging planning and design processes. We facilitate stake holder meetings to identify issues and reach consensus on desired solutions to complicated design challenges. We engage the public in a lively and respectful manner to hear ideas and reach agreement on design direction. We employ various graphic devices to communicate issues and options in a clear fashion and capture input in concise and accurate notes for distribution and recording.
Life is fast and busy. Our approach to public outreach goes beyond basic meetings. Most people are on a hectic pace of work and family commitments and simply don’t have time to participate in the traditional model of public outreach. We leverage both new and traditional communication and outreach platforms to inform and engage the public.
Social media tools such as YouTube, Zoom and customized social platforms like Mind Mixer, which can be linked from or hosted on the City’s website, offer convenient information, accessible on a computer or smart phone. In combination with informational outreach, workshops scheduled for evenings and weekends, and opinion surveys with web-based tools such as SurveyMonkey, even the busiest residents can participate and receive realtime updates and watch a YouTube video of the most recent design presentation, or post a comment on the Project’s Social Media pages. GSM has excellent results using these techniques on our recent community projects.
CITY PARTNERSHIP
Given our resources and planned workload, we can immediately mobilize the required staff to meet demands associated with McGarvey Pak. We are a highly experienced team of landscape architects and technical staff, who work together regularly on public projects. Each staff member has been involved in project mapping, research, base plan creation, schematic design, construction document development, technical specification writing and preparing opinions of probable costs. Our landscape architects and planners are experienced in developing park planning documents in compliance with city standards, general plans, specific plans, and city adopted goals.
GSM is accustomed to “wearing many hats” required to provide design through - construction administrative services as a reliable extension of staff resources. Through extensive public agency experience, we understand that good teamwork and clear delegation of project tasks and responsibilities are essential to assure timely project delivery.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
GSM provides clients with prompt, highly responsive, personalized service. We ensure that design and planning phases, associated tasks, and budget controls are in place before project commencement. Our team achieves on-time success through in-depth initial project evaluation to ensure realistic timeframes, tasks and assignments. We develop custom internal monitoring systems for each project that are maintained and reviewed on a weekly basis. This guarantees that our work tasks are progressing on schedule and within budget. GSM consistently provides solid customer service, quality control and coordination efforts each step of the way, ensuring that there are no surprises and that our projects stay on track.
REGULATORY EXPERIENCE AND CODE EXPERTISE
GSM understands, anticipates and plans for every aspect of project research and implementation. We continually review and apply IBC, ADA, WELO, NPDES State General Permits and other specific agency codes, regulations and standards. We have extensive experience coordinating our projects with city departments, county and state regulatory agencies, CalGreen Energy, Ca Dept. of Fish & Wildlife and Water Resources Control Board, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Bay Area Ridge Trails, Bay Trails, and environmental focus groups. We address program requirements, site constraints, and the interests of diverse user groups while incorporating innovative components, materials and solid construction techniques. Our work results in highly successful, attractive, durable projects that stand the test of time.
TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES AND QUALITY CONTROL
We use AutoCAD, InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Microsoft Word, Excel and customized spread sheets to develop creative and reliable, technologically advanced work products.
Our ability to quickly cross reference and overlay landscape architectural work with land and utility surveys, civil, electrical and structural work is critical to project success. We accurately overlay mapped constructed conditions to prepare record drawings and maintain an electronic server for daily, monthly and quarterly back up of project files.
GSM adheres to high standards for developing plans and documents and regularly overlay ours with team consultants for evaluation and consistency. We conduct frequent project team meetings and peer review of plans and documents at regular milestones to ensure that all work is coordinated and inconsistencies are captured promptly and eliminated.
We provide a thorough final review of plans, notes, details, technical specifications and bid forms prior to bidding.
PROJECT COST VALIDATION
GSM presents clear and realistic cost information and comparative analysis for agency consideration. We are knowledgeable of trends in construction costs and consult with contractors, vendors and maintenance personnel regarding project constructability. GSM provides a careful approach to evaluate elements of our projects and determine the most efficient and cost effective alternatives both from an initial construction perspective and over the life of the project. We are able to offer successful alternatives to project elements without changing the design intent, quality or use.
SUSTAINABILITY
GSM is a LEED, Bay-Friendly, River-Friendly, QWEL, Green Building certified firm with commitment to responsibly designing for sustainability and use of native, recycled and long lasting materials. We select, place and group components relative to site use, pedestrian circulation, solar orientation, topographic conditions and site constraints. Our team stays current on new “green” approaches with regard to quality material selection, installation techniques, time savings measures and “smart” systems for our designs. We work with cities to select durable materials that perform well in public settings and which require minimal on-going maintenance. Our projects are designed to current MWELO requirements.

INTEGRA+ will always include a principal, landscape
architect, landscape designer, and AutoCAD Drafter that have an intimate knowledge of the client's desire. All of our team members have been trained to work collaboratively with clients, architects, civil engineers, planners, and agencies.
With hundreds of park projects under our belts, our team is ready for any challenge. We understand the importance of park projects to the City and the significance that parks, trails, playgrounds, and open spaces play to community residents.
Our most successful projects have required our motivated team of professionals to work collaboratively with each other and the client. We believe great results come from understanding the client's needs and we are committed to helping our clients succeed, so we encourage open communication and honest feedback throughout the design process. We provide a dedicated project manager who will regularly communicate with the City to keep them informed about the status of their project and potential problems that may arise, ensuring quick and effective resolution.
We have worked on-call for the past 6 years with the
City of Cotati performing many landscape projects and
site plans. INTEGRA+ was selected to assist in the
development of the City of Cotati Parks Capital Plan,
which sought to review existing conditions and provide
improvement recommendations for all 13 parks within
the City of Cotati, given public input. Following the
Parks Capital Plan, we assisted in the designing of the revitalization of Kotate Park. We have since completed
the design and we are currently assisting the City in
project managing the construction work.
INTEGRA+ was also selected by the City of Santa
Rosa to assist with the Parks Master Plan and the
County of Marin to assist with their Civic Center Master Plan.
Project Experience
8 CITY OF COTATI - PARKS CAPITAL PLAN
Ric Hendricks and Mike Cook were hired to assist the City of Cotati with development of the Parks Capital Plan (City-wide Parks Master Plan with improvements). Our team worked diligently over 6 months to inventory the parks, develop spreadsheets and charts, and ideas of proposed features. After several months of completing the inventories of each of the 13 parks, we led the marketing, agenda, and operation of 4 public workshop meetings where we were able to gather over 60 residents’ opinions of each of the parks.
The purpose of the City of Cotati Parks Capital Plan was to review all existing parks within the City limits of Cotati. The review looked at existing conditions, took inventory of existing site features, provided a base map from existing aerial information, and provided recommendations for improvements/modifications given the public’s input. The existing City of Cotati parks include: La Plaza Park, Civic Center Park, Delano Park, Draper Park, Falletti Park, Helen Putnam Park, Kotate Park, Santero Way Park, Sunflower Park, Veterans Memorial Park, Garden Park, Pocket Park, and the Laguna De Santa Rosa Trail. The Parks Capital Plan also includes the former community garden along East Cotati Avenue (Garden Pathway Park).
After recording all information from workshops, online surveys and attendance at community events, Mike and Ric met with City staff to develop the master plans for each of the parks. Additional public hearings were conducted to incorporate recommendations from the Plan into the Capital Improvement Plan budgeting. “The Parks Capital Plan is the vehicle to conduct and implement a community process to determine what amenities and improvements are desired by the community for our park system, develop planning level cost estimates and relative priorities, and begin programming them for capital improvements.”

9 TOWN OF WINDSOR - MICHAEL A. HALL PARK
The INTEGRA+ team was hired by the Town of Windsor Parks Department to rehabilitate the playground facility at Michael A. Hall Park in 2017. The Michael A. Hall Park Improvement Plan was a renovation of the existing park, mainly focused on playground updates. Our first task was to do a detailed site analysis which checked on things like drainage in the playgrounds, sun shade ratios, major trees and vertical elements that would impede equipment heights, etc. This work would inform the preliminary master plan for the entire park, and specifically the playground renovation.
The second phase involved community outreach. In particular we met with the 5th grade students of Brooks Elementary School which is adjacent to the park. We brought images and plans to discuss what type of play areas they would like to see in the park. As part of their school work, they were tasked with taking our research and product recommendations and design a playground that they would want to play on. Using many of the recommendations that were provided to the Town and our firm during community outreach, we developed several alternatives for review.
After we received the input from the students we developed two distinct concepts that we presented to the Town. We worked hand and hand with playground specialists to find the right equipment at the right budget for each concept. Then the Town chose a preferred concept and we developed 3D images and sketches that were presented to the Parks and Recreation Commission.
Upon approval by Town staff, we further developed the playground concept and preliminary master plan to a point that we could take the playground drawings to construction documentation. We worked with Town staff to ensure compliance with Town standards and developed a demolition plan, site + layout plan, irrigation plan and planting plan.

10 COUNTY OF MARIN - MARIN CIVIC CENTER
Our firm was hired under two separate contracts with the united goal of water conservation. In order to design future comprehensive projects for the campus, the County needed an overall mapping and assessment of the existing irrigation system and landscape plantings.
Michael Cook compiled state of the art GIS mapping information into a data set that was surveyed on-site in a detailed and precise manner. Surveyed data points were post processed into an interactive GIS map that allows staff to select specific areas or specific plants on a site and reference a data table associated with that item. The data set displays all source information including: product ID, plant name, plant health, plant water use, plant canopy. From these data points, we were able to designate areas of future projects to the areas of highest demand.
Additionally, Michael Cook prepared an overall master plan to depict the tree canopy cover and prioritize areas for improvement. A majority of effort was put into the pedestrian circulation studies and how to connect the different areas of the Marin Civic Center Campus that include the historic Civic Center building (County Departments, County Jail, County Courthouse), Lagoon Park, Children’s Island, Veterans’ Memorial Building and County of Marin Conference Center.
At over 55 acres, the Marin Civic Center Master Plan covered a large area with preliminary layout and circulation routes.
As the County of Marin further delves into the specific areas, INTEGRA+ is ready to assist.

11 CITY OF DUBLIN - SCHAEFER RANCH PARK & TRAILHEAD
As part of conceptual design, design development and construction documents for 6.3-acre multi-purpose community park and trailhead, Ric Hendricks was instrumental in the coordination, development, and design of the park. Working with the City of Dublin Staff, East Bay Regional Parks District (EBRPD) and various governing agencies, Ric lead the project and was responsible the overall project coordination, sub-consultant oversight, regulation compliance and quality control.
Through the process of community workshops with City staff, Planning Commission and various stakeholders, three alternative designs were developed and refined into a final master plan that was presented and unanimously approved by City Council. The park included prefabricated restroom building, multi-purpose grass field, basketball and tennis courts, age specific tot-lots, swings, water play feature, climbing boulders, Covered and open picnic, bench seating areas, a perimeter trail and open space. Trees were used to strategically to provide shade and ambiance. Additional services included a trailhead for EBRPD with a parking lot, restroom and horse staging area. The design process included site inventory, data gathering, site development, central irrigation system design, specifications and cost estimating.
While the project took several years to develop, it has become one of the more popular parks in the City of Dublin.

SUBJECT: Award Bid to MARZ Engineering in the Amount of $113,499.84 for Specification 23-03 - Todd Grove Park Public Barbecue Facility Reconstruction.

3. Bid Results - Todd Grove Park Public BBQ Facility
Summary: Council will consider awarding bid to MARZ Engineering in the amount of $113,499.84 to MARZ Engineering Specification No. 23-03 for the Todd Grove Park Public Barbecue Facility Reconstruction.
Background: Todd Grove Park has long enjoyed the reputation as the City’s premier park. Many of the park’s historic features, including the gate and wall, were added during the federal Works Progress Administration.
The park features expanses of tree covered lawns and a wide variety of recreational amenities, including playgrounds, a performance stage, picnic tables, benches, a barbeque area, and a pool.
Unfortunately, the park’s group barbeque area has aged to the point of failure and needs to be removed and replaced. The asphalt under the area is rutted with roots and provides an uneven surface with tripping potential, while the tables and barbecue pits are outdated and require frequent maintenance. A number of barbeque area features have been removed as they have become un-maintainable.
The need to replace the barbeque area has been recognized for some time and has been on the Capital Improvement Project budget for over three years. The project was approved as part of the 2022-23 City budget.
Discussion: The plan for demolition of the existing infrastructure and installation of new, similar features along with an overview of the new features were presented to the Public Spaces Commission on January 10th and received no negative comment or opposition from commissioners. Staff received a call from a concerned citizen who expressed concern that the picnic tables are “historic” and should be maintained rather than replaced. Community Development Staff reviewed the subject and were unable to find any references or reasons to preserve the tables.
Plans for the site (Attachment 1) and Request for Bid (RFB) (Attachment 2) were prepared by Staff detailing how the new barbeque area should 1) retain approximately the same footprint, 2) continue with an equal amount of picnic table seating, 3) increase the number of individual barbeque pits to replace those that have been lost, 4) add a 30’ x 30’ shade structure to cover approximately half the picnic tables, 5) add an updated hydration station, 6) add a bioswale to improve on-site water retention, and 7) remove the dilapidated and largely unused horseshoe pit.
The RFB generated bids from seven contractors (Attachment 3). The bid from MARZ Engineering was reviewed and deemed the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Staff recommends that Council award the bid to MARZ Engineering in the amount of $113,499.84 for the demolition and reconstruction of the group barbecue area at Todd Grove Park.
$50,000 from the Park Development Funds will be funding the project, with the balance being paid by the General Fund. A budget amendment is being requested for the difference between what was budgeted and what the lowest bid ended up being for the project, plus an additional 10% for contingencies.
Recommended Action: Award bid to MARZ Engineering in the amount of $113,499.84 for Specification 23-03 Todd Grove Park Public BBQ Facility Reconstruction.

7-12. Right of City to Terminate Contract for Convenience. The City may terminate performance of the work called for by the contract documents in whole or, from time to time, in part, if the City determines that a termination is in the City’s best interest.

All actual reimbursable costs incurred according to the provisions of this contract.
1. A reasonable allowance for profit on the cost of the Work performed, provided Contractor establishes to the satisfaction of the Engineer that it is reasonably probable that Contractor would have made a profit had the contract been completed and provided further, that the profit allowed shall in no event exceed fifteen (15%) percent of the costs.
2. A reasonable allowance for Contractor's administrative costs in determining the amount payable due to termination of the contract under this Article.

SECTION 8. WORKMANSHIP, MATERIALS and EQUIPMENT
8-01. General Quality. Materials and equipment shall be new and of a quality equal to that specified or approved.
Work shall be done and completed in a thorough and workmanlike manner. 8-02. Quality in Absence of Detailed Specifications. Whenever under this contract it is provided that the Contractor shall furnish materials or manufactured articles or shall do work for which no detailed specifications are set forth, the materials or manufactured articles shall be of the best grade in quality and workmanship obtainable in the market from firms of established good reputation, or, if not ordinarily carried in stock, shall conform to the usual standards for first-class materials or articles of the kind required, with due consideration of the use to which they are to be put. In general, the work performed shall be in full conformity and harmony with the intent to secure the best standard of construction and equipment of the work as a whole or in part. 8-03. Materials and Equipment Specified by Name. Whenever any material or equipment is indicated or specified by patent or proprietary name or by the name of the manufacturer, such specification shall be considered as used for the purpose of describing the material or equipment desired and shall be considered as followed by the words "or approved equal". The Contractor may offer any material or equipment which shall be equal in every respect to that specified, provided that written approval first is obtained from the Engineer. 8-04. Source of Materials. Price, fitness and quality being equal, preference shall be given by the Contractor for supplies grown, manufactured or produced in the State of California and, next, for such products partially produced in this State in accordance with Government Code Section 4332. 8-05. Storage of Materials. Materials shall be so stored to ensure the preservation of their quality and fitness for the work. They shall be so located and disposed that prompt and proper inspection thereof may be made. 8-06. Drawings, Samples and Tests. As soon as possible after execution of the contract, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer, in quintuplicate, sufficient information including, if necessary, assembly and detail drawings to demonstrate fully that the equipment and materials to be furnished comply with the provisions and intent of these Special Provisions and Drawings. If the information thus submitted indicates the equipment or materials is acceptable, the Engineer will return one copy stamped with his or her approval; otherwise, one copy will be returned with an explanation of why the equipment or material is unsatisfactory. The Contractor shall have no claims for damages or for extension of time on account of any delay due to the revision of drawings or rejection of material. Fabrication or other work performed in advance of approval shall be done entirely at the Contractor's risk.
After approval of equipment or material, the Contractor shall not deviate in any way from the design and specifications given without the written consent of the Engineer.
THE TODD GROVE PARK 17 Spec. No. 23-03
PUBLIC BBQ FACILITY RECONSTRUCTION
When requested by the Engineer, a sample or test specimens of the materials to be used or offered for use in connection with the work shall be prepared at the expense of the Contractor and furnished by him or her in such quantities and sizes as may be required for proper examination and tests, with all freight charges prepaid and with information as to their sources.
All samples shall be submitted before shipment and in ample time to permit the making of proper tests, analyses, or examination before the time at which it is desired to incorporate the material into the work. All tests of materials furnished by the Contractor shall be made by the Engineer. Samples shall be secured and tested whenever necessary to determine the quality of the material.
SECTION 9. PROSECUTION OF WORK
9-01. Equipment and Methods. The work under this contract shall be prosecuted with all materials, tools, machinery, apparatus and labor and by such methods as are necessary to the complete execution of everything described, shown, or reasonably implied. If at any time before the beginning or during the progress of the work, any part of the Contractor's plant or equipment, or any of his or her methods of execution of the work, appear to the Engineer to be unsafe, inefficient, or inadequate to insure the required quality or the rate of progress of the work, he or she may order the Contractor to increase or improve his or her facilities or methods and the Contractor shall comply promptly with such orders; but, neither compliance with such orders nor failure of the Engineer to issue such orders shall relieve the Contractor from his or her obligation to secure the degree of safety, the quality of the work and the rate of progress required of the Contractor. The Contractor alone shall be responsible for the safety, adequacy and efficiency of his or her plant, equipment and methods. 9-02. Time of Completion. The Contractor shall promptly begin the work under this contract and shall complete and make ready for full use all portions of the project made the subject of this contract within the time set forth in the agreement bound herewith.
9-03. Avoidable Delays. Avoidable delays in the prosecution or completion of the work shall include all delays which might have been avoided by the exercise of care, prudence, foresight and diligence on the part of the Contractor. The City will consider as avoidable delays within the meaning of this contract (1) delays in the prosecution of parts of the work, which may in themselves be unavoidable, but do not necessarily prevent or delay the prosecution of other parts of the work nor the completion of the whole work within the time herein specified, (2) reasonable loss of time resulting from the necessity of submitting plans to the Engineer for approval and from the making of surveys, measurements, inspections, and testing and (3) such interruptions as may occur in the prosecution of the work on account of the reasonable interference of other contractors employed by the City which do not necessarily prevent the completion of the whole work within the time herein specified. 9-04. Unavoidable Delays. Unavoidable delays in the prosecution or completion of the work under this contract shall include all delays which may result, through cause beyond the control of the Contractor and which he or she could not have provided against by the exercise of care, prudence, foresight and diligence. Orders issued by the City changing the amount of work to be done, the quantity of material to be furnished or the manner in which the work is to be prosecuted and unforeseen delays in the completion of the work of other contractors under contract with the City will be considered unavoidable delays, so far as they necessarily interfere with the Contractor's completion of the whole of the work. Delays due to normally adverse weather conditions will not be regarded as unavoidable delays. However, truly abnormal amounts of rainfall, temperatures or other weather conditions for the location of the work and time of year may be considered as unavoidable delays if those conditions necessarily cause a delay in the completion of the work.
9-05. Notice of Delays. Whenever the Contractor foresees any delay in the prosecution of the work and, in any event, immediately upon the occurrence of any delay which the contractor regards as an unavoidable delay, he or she shall notify the Engineer in writing of the probability of the occurrence of such delay and its cause, in order that the Engineer may take immediate steps to prevent, if possible, the occurrence or continuance of the delay, or, if this cannot be done, may determine whether the delay is to be considered avoidable or unavoidable, how long it continues and to what extent the prosecution and completion of the work are to be delayed thereby.
THE TODD GROVE PARK 18 Spec. No. 23-03
PUBLIC BBQ FACILITY RECONSTRUCTION
9-06. Extension of Time. Should any delays occur which the Engineer may consider unavoidable, as herein defined, the Contractor shall, pursuant to his or her application, be allowed an extension of time proportional to said delay or delays, beyond the time herein set forth, in which to complete this contract; and liquidated damages for delay shall not be charged against the Contractor by the City during an extension of time granted because of unavoidable delay or delays.
Any claim by Contractor for a time extension based on unavoidable delays shall be based on written notice delivered to the Engineer within 15 days of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim. Failure to file said written notice within the time specified shall constitute a waiver of said claim. Notice of the full extent of the claim and all supporting data must be delivered to the Engineer within 45 days of the occurrence unless the Engineer specifies in writing a longer period. All claims for a time extension must be approved by the Engineer and incorporated into a written change order.
9-07. Unfavorable Weather and Other Conditions. During unfavorable weather and other conditions, the Contractor shall pursue only such portions of the work as shall not be damaged thereby. No portions of the work whose satisfactory quality or efficiency will be affected by any unfavorable conditions shall be constructed while these conditions remain, unless, by special means or precautions approved by the Engineer, the Contractor shall be able to overcome them.
The Contractor shall be granted a time extension of one day for each unfavorable weather day which prevents him or her from placing concrete forms or placing and finishing concrete or asphalt concrete. Such unfavorable weather day is defined as a rain day where precipitation prevents the contractor from performing the work more than four (4) continuous hours within the authorized work period or a temperature day where the ambient temperature is below that specified for the placement of materials associated with the controlling work item for more than four (4) continuous work hours of the authorized work period.
9-08. Saturday, Sunday, Holiday and Night Work. No work shall be done between the hours of 6 p.m. and 7 a.m., nor on Saturdays, Sundays or legal holidays except such work as is necessary for the proper care and protection of work already performed, or except in cases of absolute necessity and in any case only with the permission of the Engineer.
It is understood, however, that night work may be established as a regular procedure by the Contractor if he or she first obtains the written permission of the Engineer and that such permission may be revoked at any time by the Engineer if the Contractor fails to maintain at night adequate force and equipment for reasonable prosecution and to justify inspection of the work.
9-09. Hours of Labor. Eight (8) hours of labor shall constitute a legal day's work and the Contractor or any subcontractor shall not require or permit more than eight hours of labor in a day from any person employed by him or her in the performance of the work under this contract, unless paying compensation for all hours worked in excess of eight (8) hours per day at not less than 1½ times the basic rate of pay. The Contractor shall forfeit to the City, as a penalty, the sum of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for each workman employed in the execution of the contract by him or her or by any subcontractor, for each calendar day during which such laborer, workman, or mechanic is required or permitted to labor more than eight hours in violation of the provisions of Section 1810 to 1816, inclusive, (Article 3, Chapter 1, Part 7, Division 2) of the Labor Code of the State of California and any acts amendatory thereof.
SECTION 10. PAYMENT
10-01. Certification by Engineer. All payments under this contract shall be made upon the presentation of certificates in writing from the Engineer and shall show that the work covered by the payments has been done and the payments thereof are due in accordance with this contract. 10-02. Progress Estimates and Payment. The Engineer shall, within the first seven (7) days of each month, make an estimate of the value of the work performed in accordance with this contract during the previous calendar month.
The first estimate shall be of the value of the work satisfactorily completed in place and meeting the requirements of the contract. And every subsequent estimate, except the final estimate, shall be of the value of the work
THE TODD GROVE PARK 19 Spec. No. 23-03
PUBLIC BBQ FACILITY RECONSTRUCTION
satisfactorily completed in place since the last preceding estimate was made; provided, however, that should the Contractor fail to adhere to the program of completion fixed in this contract, the Engineer shall deduct from the next and all subsequent estimates the full calculated accruing amount of the liquidated damages to the date of said estimate, until such time as the compliance with the program has been restored.
The estimate shall be signed by the Engineer and, after approval, the City shall pay or cause to be paid to the Contractor in the manner provided by law, an amount equal to 95 percent of the estimated value of the work satisfactorily performed and complete in place.
10-03. Substitution of Securities.
1. At such times that Pubic Contract Code Section 22300 is in effect Contractor may propose the substitution of securities of at least equal market value for any moneys to be withheld to ensure performance under the Contract.
Market value shall be determined as of the day prior to the date such substitution is to take place. Such substitution shall be made at the request and expense of the Contractor. The securities shall be one or more of the following types:
(a) Bonds or interest-bearing notes or obligations of the United States, or those for which the faith and credit of the United States are pledged for the payment of principal and interest. (b) Bonds or interest-bearing notes on obligations that are guaranteed as to principal and interest by a federal agency of the United States.
(c) Bonds of the State of California, or those for which the faith and credit of the State of California are pledged for the payment of principal and interest.

(f) Commercial paper of "prime" quality as defined by a nationally recognized organization which rates such securities. Eligible paper is further limited to issuing corporations: (1) organized and operating within the United States; (2) having total assets in excess of five hundred million dollars ($500,000,000); and (3) approved by the Pooled Money Investment Board of the State of California. Purchases of eligible commercial paper may not exceed 180 days' maturity, nor represent more than 10 percent of the outstanding paper of an issuing corporation.
(g) Bills of exchange or time drafts on and accepted by a commercial bank, otherwise known as bankers acceptances, which are eligible for purchase by the Federal Reserve System. (h) Certificates of deposits issued by a nationally or state-chartered bank or savings and loan association. (i) The portion of bank loans and obligations guaranteed by the United States Small Business Administration or the United States Farmers Home Administration.

(k) Obligations issued, assumed or guaranteed by International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the Inter-American Development Bank, the Asian Development Bank, or the Government Development Bank of Puerto Rico.
(l) Bonds, debentures and notes issued by corporations organized and operating within the United States.
Such securities eligible for substitution shall be within the top three ratings of a nationally recognized rating service.
2. The securities shall be deposited with City or with any commercial bank as escrow agent, who shall arrange for transfer of such securities to the Contractor upon satisfactory completion of the contract. Any interest accrued or paid on such securities shall belong to the Contractor and shall be paid upon satisfactory completion of the contract.
The market value of the securities deposited shall at all times be maintained in an amount at least equal, in the sole judgment of City, to the moneys to be withheld pursuant to the Contract Documents to ensure performance of the Contract. In order to comply with this condition, Contractor shall deposit additional securities as necessary upon request by City or the escrow agent.
3. Upon acceptance of any Proposal that includes substituting securities for amounts withheld to ensure performance, a separate escrow agreement satisfactory in form and substance to City shall be prepared and executed by City, the Contractor and the escrow agent, which may be City. The escrow agreement shall specify, among other matters, value of securities to be deposited; procedures for valuing the securities and for adding or withdrawing securities to maintain the market value of the deposited securities at least equal to the amount of moneys which would otherwise be withheld; the terms and conditions of conversion to cash in case of the default by the Contractor; and terms, conditions and procedure for termination of the escrow. City shall have no obligation to enter any such Agreement that does not provide the City with the unilateral right to convert securities to cash and to gain immediate possession of the cash.
10-04. Acceptance. The work must be accepted by vote of the City Council of the City of Ukiah when the whole shall have been completed satisfactorily. The Contractor shall notify the Engineer, in writing, of the completion of the work, whereupon the Engineer shall promptly, by personal inspection, satisfy himself as to the actual completion of the work in accordance with the terms of the contract and shall thereupon recommend acceptance by the City Council.
10-05. Final Estimate and Payment. The Engineer shall, as soon as practicable after the final acceptance of the work done under this contract, make a final estimate of the amount of work done thereunder and the value thereof.
Such final estimate shall be signed by the Engineer, and after approval, the City shall pay or cause to be paid to the Contractor, in the manner provided by law, the entire sum so found to be due hereunder, after deducting therefrom all previous payments and such other lawful amounts as the terms of this contract prescribe.
In no case will final payment be made in less than thirty-five (35) days after the filing of the notice of completion with the County Recorder.
10-06. Delay Payments. Should any payment due the Contractor or any estimate be delayed, through fault of the City beyond the time stipulated, such delay shall not constitute a breach of contract or be the basis for a claim for damages, but the City shall pay the Contractor interest on the amount of the payment at the rate of 6 percent per annum for the period of such delay. The terms for which interest will be paid shall be reckoned, in the case of any monthly or progress payment, from the twentieth day of the month next succeeding the month in which the work was performed to the date of payment of the estimate; and in the case of the final estimate, from the forty-fifth day after acceptance to the date of payment of the final estimate.
The date of payment of any estimate shall be considered the day on which the payment is offered or mailed as evidenced by the records of the Treasurer of the City. If interest shall become due on any delayed payment, the amount thereof, as determined by the City, shall be added to a succeeding payment. If the interest shall become
THE TODD GROVE PARK 21 Spec. No. 23-03
PUBLIC BBQ FACILITY RECONSTRUCTION
due on the final payment, it shall be paid on a supplementary voucher to interest or any sum or sums which, by the terms of this contract, the City is authorized to reserve or retain. 10-07. Extra Work and Work Omitted. Whenever corrections, alterations, or modifications of the work under this contract ordered by the Engineer and approved by the City increase the amount of work to be done, such added work shall be known as "extra work"; and when such corrections, alterations, or modifications decrease the amount of work to be done, such subtracted work shall be known as "work omitted".
When the Contractor considers that any changes ordered involve extra work, he or she shall immediately notify the Engineer in writing and subsequently keep him or her informed as to when and where extra work is to be performed and shall make claim for compensation therefor each month not later than the first day of the month following that in which the work claimed to be extra work was performed and he or she shall submit a daily complete statement of materials and labor used and expenses incurred on account of extra work performed, showing allocation of all materials, labor and expenses.
All such claims shall state the date of the Engineer's written order and the date of approval by the City authorizing the work on account of which claim is made. Unless such notification is made in writing within the time specified and unless complete statements of materials used and expenses incurred on account of such extra work are furnished as above required, the Contractor shall not be entitled to payment on account of extra work and Contractor shall be deemed to have waived the right to make any future claims for compensation for such extra work.
When changes decrease the amount of work to be done, they shall not constitute a claim for damages on account of anticipated profits on the work that may be omitted. 10-08. Compensation for Extra Work or Work Omitted. Whenever corrections, additions, or modifications in the work under this contract change the amount of work to be done or the amount of compensation due the Contractor, excepting increases or decreases in contract items having unit contract prices for each measurable quantity installed in place, and such changes have been ordered in writing by the Engineer and approved by the City prior to the Contractor performing the extra work, then a price may be agreed upon. Failing such an agreement in price, the Contractor shall be compensated for performing extra work pursuant to the provisions of Section 4-1.03 D,"Extra Work", and Section 9-1.03,"Force Account Payment" of the Standard Specifications.
This method of determining the price of work shall not apply to the performance of any work which is required or reasonably implied to be performed or furnished under this contract. 10-09. Compensation to the City for Extension of Time. In case the work called for under this contract is not completed within the time limit stipulated herein, the City shall have the right as provided hereinabove, to extend the time of completion thereof. If the time limit be so extended, the City shall have the right to charge to the Contractor and to deduct from the final payment for the work the actual cost to the City of engineering, inspection, superintendence and other overhead expenses which are directly chargeable to the contract and which accrue during the period of such extension, except that the cost of final unavoidable delays shall not be included in such charges.
10-10. Liquidated Damages for Delay. It is agreed by the parties to the contract that time is of the essence and that, in case all the work is not completed before or upon the expiration of the time limit as set forth, damage, other than those cost items identified in section 10-09, will be sustained by the City and that it is and will be impracticable to determine the actual amount of damage by reason of such delay; and it is therefore agreed that the Contractor will pay to the City the sum of five hundred dollars ($500.00) per day for each and every calendar day's delay beyond the time prescribed.
In compliance with the provisions of California Public Contract Code § 7102, the Contractor will be compensated for damages incurred due to delays in completing the work due solely to the fault of the City, where such delay is unreasonable under the circumstances and not contemplated by the parties. The Contractor and City agree that determining actual damages is impracticable and extremely difficult. As such, the Contractor shall be entitled to the appropriate time extension and to payment of liquidated damages in the sum of $250 per day of delay in excess of the time specified for the completion of the work. Such amount shall constitute the only payment allowed and shall necessarily include all overhead (direct or indirect), all profit, all administrative costs, all bond costs, all labor,
THE TODD GROVE PARK 22 Spec. No. 23-03
PUBLIC BBQ FACILITY RECONSTRUCTION
materials, equipment and rental costs, and any other costs, expenses and fees incurred or sustained as a result of such delay. The Contractor expressly agrees to be limited solely to the liquidated damages for all such delays as defined in this subsection.
SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS

Whenever any provision of the contract documents requires the giving of written notice, it shall be deemed to have been validly given if delivered in person to the individual or to a member of the firm or to an officer of the corporation for whom it is intended, or if delivered at or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the last business address known to the giver of the notice. If mailed, the notice shall be deemed received on the date of delivery stated in the return receipt.
11-02. Computation of Time. When any period of time is referred to in the Contract Documents by days, it shall be computed to exclude the first and include the last day of such period. If the last day of any such period falls on a Saturday or Sunday or on a day made a legal holiday by the law of the applicable jurisdiction, such day shall be omitted from the computation.
11-03. Claims Procedure
Contractor shall timely comply with all notices and requests for changes to the contract time or contract price, as a prerequisite to filing any claim governed by this Article. The failure to timely submit a notice of delay or notice of change, or to timely request a change to the contract time or contract price, or to timely provide any other notice or request required herein shall constitute a waiver of the right to further pursue the claim under the contract or at law.
A. Intent. Effective January 1, 1991, Section 20104 et seq., of the California Public Contract Code prescribes a process utilizing informal conferences, non-binding judicial supervised mediation, and judicial arbitration to resolve disputes on construction claims of $375,000 or less. Effective January 1, 2017, Section 9204 of the Public Contract Code prescribes a process for negotiation and mediation to resolve disputes on construction claims. The intent of this Article is to implement Sections 20104 et seq. and Section 9204 of the California Public Contract Code. This Article shall be construed to be consistent with said statutes.
B. Claims. For purposes of this Article, “Claim” means a separate demand by the Contractor, for (A) a time extension, (B) payment of money or damages arising from work done by or on behalf of the Contractor pursuant to the Contract, or (C) an amount the payment of which is disputed by the District.
Claims governed by this Article may not be filed unless and until the Contractor completes all procedures for giving notice of delay or change and for the requesting of a time extension or change order. Claims governed by this Article must be filed no later than the date of final payment. The claim shall be submitted in writing to the District and shall include on its first page the following in 16 point capital font: “THIS IS A CLAIM.” Furthermore, the claim shall include the documents necessary to substantiate the claim. Nothing herein is intended to extend the time limit or supersede notice requirements otherwise provided by contract for the filing of claims, including all requirements pertaining to compensation or payment for extra work, disputed work, and/or changed conditions.
Failure to follow such contractual requirements shall bar any claims or subsequent lawsuits for compensation or payment thereon.
C. Supporting Documentation. The Contractor shall submit all claims in the following format:

If Contractor’s claim is based in whole or in part on an allegation of errors or omissions in the Drawings or Specifications for the project, Contractor shall provide a summary of the percentage of the claim subject to design errors or omissions and shall obtain a certificate of merit in support of the claim of design errors and omissions.
D. City’s Response. Upon receipt of a claim pursuant to this Article, City shall conduct a reasonable review of the claim and, within a period not to exceed 45 days, shall provide the Contractor a written statement identifying what portion of the claim is disputed and what portion is undisputed. Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim will be processed and made within 60 days after the City issues its written statement.
If the City needs approval from its governing body to provide the Contractor a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion of the claim, and the City’s governing body does not meet within the 45 days or within the mutually agreed to extension of time following receipt of a claim sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, the City shall have up to three days following the next duly publicly noticed meeting of the City’s governing body after the 45-day period, or extension, expires to provide the Contractor a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion.
Within 30 days of receipt of a claim, the City may request in writing additional documentation supporting the claim or relating to defenses or claims the District may have against the Contractor. If additional information is thereafter required, it shall be requested and provided pursuant to this subdivision, upon mutual agreement of City and the Contractor. The City’s written response to the claim, as further documented, shall be submitted to the Contractor within 30 days (if the claim is less than $15,000, within 15 days) after receipt of the further documentation, or within a period of time no greater than that taken by the Contractor in producing the additional information or requested documentation, whichever is greater.
E. Meet and Confer. If the Contractor disputes the City’s written response, or the City fails to respond within the time prescribed, the Contractor may so notify the City, in writing, either within 15 days of receipt of the City’s response or within 15 days of the City’s failure to respond within the time prescribed, respectively, and demand in writing an informal conference to meet and confer for settlement of the issues in dispute. Upon receipt of a demand, the City shall schedule a meet and confer conference within 30 days for settlement of the dispute.
F. Mediation. Within 10 business days following the conclusion of the meet and confer conference, if the claim or any portion of the claim remains in dispute, the City shall provide the Contractor a written statement identifying the portion of the claim that remains in dispute and the portion that is undisputed. Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim shall be processed and made within 60 days after the City issues its written statement. Any disputed portion of the claim, as identified by the Contractor in writing, shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation, with the City and the Contractor sharing the associated costs equally. The City and Contractor shall mutually agree to a mediator within 10 business days after the disputed portion of the claim has been identified in writing, unless the parties agree to select a mediator at a later time.
If the parties cannot agree upon a mediator, each party shall select a mediator and those mediators shall select a qualified neutral third party to mediate with regard to the disputed portion of the claim. Each party shall bear the fees and costs charged by its respective mediator in connection with the selection of the neutral mediator.
For purposes of this section, mediation includes any nonbinding process, including, but not limited to, neutral evaluation or a dispute review board, in which an independent third party or board assists the parties in dispute resolution through negotiation or by issuance of an evaluation. Any mediation utilized shall conform to the timeframes in this section.
Unless otherwise agreed to by the City and the Contractor in writing, the mediation conducted pursuant to this section shall excuse any further obligation under Public Contract Code Section 20104.4 to mediate after litigation has been commenced.
The mediation shall be held no earlier than the date the Contractor completes the work or the date that the Contractor last performs work, whichever is earlier. All unresolved claims shall be considered jointly in a single mediation, unless a new unrelated claim arises after mediation is completed. 23
THE TODD GROVE PARK 24 Spec. No. 23-03
PUBLIC BBQ FACILITY RECONSTRUCTION
G. Procedures After Mediation. If following the mediation, the claim or any portion remains in dispute, the Contractor must file a claim pursuant to Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 900) and Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 910) of Part 3 of Division 3.6 of Title 1 of the Government Code prior to initiating litigation. For purposes of those provisions, the running of the period of time within which a claim must be filed shall be tolled from the time the Contractor submits his or her written claim pursuant to subdivision (a) until the time the claim is denied, including any period of time utilized by the meet and confer conference.
