Ukiah City Council
July 15, 2026

19 development assumptions were evaluated through the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR and do not constitute new land use impacts not previously analyzed.

Noise
The Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR evaluated airport-related noise exposure (Impact NOI-3) and concluded that continued implementation of applicable state and federal aviation regulations, together with the UKIALUCP, would minimize noise-related impacts. Portions of the project area are located within the Airport Influence Area; however, the project area is generally located outside the 55 dB CNEL contour associated with the Ukiah Municipal Airport.

The proposed Ordinance does not introduce land uses or development intensities beyond those previously evaluated in the General Plan EIR. No new noise impacts have been identified that were not previously analyzed through prior environmental review.

Public Services
The Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR evaluated impacts associated with parks, recreational facilities, and public services, including implementation of trail and recreation improvements throughout the City (Impact PSR-3). The EIR concluded that impacts associated with expansion of recreational facilities would be less than significant.

The proposed Recreation (REC) zoning district implements the Recreational land use designation established by the General Plan and provides a zoning framework for recreational facilities, trails, and trail-support amenities previously contemplated by the General Plan. No new public service impacts have been identified that were not previously analyzed through the General Plan EIR.

Traffic
Previous environmental documents, including the 2012 Downtown Zoning Code MND, the 2012 Courthouse EIR, and the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR, evaluated transportation impacts associated with development within the project area. The Courthouse EIR identified impacts at the US-101 Northbound Ramp/Perkins Street intersection and adopted Mitigation Measure 4.10- 2 requiring fair-share participation in future transportation improvements.

The proposed rezoning of Perkins Street corridor properties to Community Commercial (C-1) and courthouse-related parcels to Public Facilities (PF) does not increase residential density beyond the levels analyzed in the Downtown Zoning Code MND or the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR. In addition, properties proposed for Public Facilities (PF) and Recreation (REC) zoning are no longer available for mixed-use residential development assumed under portions of the Downtown Zoning Code.

The expansion of the Downtown Zoning Code to Oak Street and Seminary Avenue applies development standards previously evaluated through the 2012 Downtown Zoning Code MND.

The General Urban district and associated development standards were analyzed as part of the Downtown Zoning Code environmental review.

20 Accordingly, the transportation impacts associated with development in the project area have previously been analyzed through applicable environmental documents, and the proposed Ordinance does not create transportation impacts that were not previously evaluated.

Wildfire
The Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR evaluated wildfire hazards associated with future development within the City. Since certification of the General Plan EIR, the City has adopted Ordinance No. 1256 and updated Ukiah City Code Section 5200 to incorporate current Fire Hazard Severity Zone mapping and applicable fire safety standards.

Future development facilitated by the proposed Ordinance remains subject to applicable provisions of the California Building Code, Public Resources Code Sections 4290 and 4291, and the City's adopted fire hazard regulations. The proposed Ordinance does not create wildfirerelated impacts beyond those previously analyzed through the General Plan EIR and applicable regulatory programs.

4. Cumulative Impacts
Finding: There are no potentially significant offsite and/or cumulative impacts that the Ukiah 2040 EIR failed to evaluate.

Discussion: The General Plan EIR analyzed cumulative impacts for all resource areas.

Traffic
The 2012 MND identified the US-101/Perkins Street ramp intersections as operating at unacceptable levels and adopted a mitigation measure requiring future development to contribute fair share payments toward signalization and improvements. The 2040 General Plan EIR also analyzed VMT and traffic impacts. The rezoning to C-1 does not increase the trip generation potential beyond what was analyzed in the 2012 MND or the 2040 General Plan EIR, because the applicable residential density ranges remain within those evaluated in the 2012 DZC MND and the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR.

Airport Operations
The cumulative effects of development within the Airport Influence Area were evaluated through the Ukiah Municipal Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (UKIALUCP) and the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR. Future development within the project area remains subject to the compatibility requirements, density limitations, and operational standards established by the UKIALUCP. The proposed zoning amendments do not establish land uses or development intensities beyond those previously evaluated through the UKIALUCP and the General Plan EIR. Accordingly, no cumulative airport compatibility impacts have been identified that were not previously analyzed.

5. New Information
Finding: There is no substantial new information that results in more severe environmental impacts than anticipated by the Ukiah 2040 EIR.

21 Discussion: No substantial new information has emerged since the certification of the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR in December 2022 that results in more severe impacts. The 2022 Courthouse EIR Addendum provides new information confirming that impacts related to the courthouse site (density, cultural resources, hazards) are less severe than previously analyzed.

The 2012 MND provides historical context for the DZC area, confirming that the high-density mixed-use concept was environmentally cleared. The proposed zoning amendments modify zoning classifications within the framework of land use designations established by the Ukiah 2040 General Plan and do not result in development intensities exceeding those evaluated through prior environmental review.

V. ALTERNATIVES
The following alternatives are not analyzed pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6, as this document is not an EIR. Instead, they are evaluated solely to confirm that each potential policy outcome remains within the scope of impacts previously analyzed in the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR and related environmental documents, consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.

Alternative 1: No Project
Under this alternative, no amendments to the Downtown Zoning Code (DZC) or General Plan would occur. Existing zoning designations, including the application of DZC (General Urban, Urban Center, and Downtown Core) regulations along the Perkins Street corridor and adjacent areas, would remain in effect.

This alternative would maintain the existing regulatory framework and development assumptions analyzed in the 2012 DZC Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR.

Alternative 2: Proposed DZC
This alternative modifies the rezoning footprint of the Project by retaining Downtown Zoning Code (DZC) regulations on parcels located west of the Northwestern Pacific railroad tracks, while implementing the proposed rezoning east of the tracks. Specifically:
• All parcels along Perkins Street west of the railroad tracks would remain subject to DZC zoning (Urban Center and General Urban). These areas include parcels developed with both traditional downtown building forms (e.g., structures located at or near the street frontage) and parcels with existing development patterns that include deeper setbacks and on-site parking configurations. Retaining DZC zoning in these areas would continue to apply form-based development standards, including frontage, siting, and streetscape requirements consistent with the existing regulatory framework analyzed in the 2012 DZC MND.
• Parcels located east of the railroad tracks, including the East Perkins Street corridor and the rail corridor/Depot area, would be rezoned as proposed under the Project to Community Commercial (C-1), Public Facilities (PF), and Recreation (REC), consistent with the applicable General Plan land use designations.

22 This alternative does not introduce new or peculiar environmental effects. Retention of DZC zoning on western parcels maintains the previously analyzed regulatory baseline, while the rezoning of eastern parcels remains consistent with the density and land use assumptions evaluated in the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR and prior environmental documents. These relationships are reflected in the comparative zoning framework described in Tables 1 through 3 above.

Finding: The alternatives described above remain within the scope of environmental impacts previously analyzed in the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR and related environmental documents.

Discussion: Both alternatives remain within the range of development densities, land use designations, and regulatory frameworks evaluated through prior environmental review. The No Project Alternative retains the existing DZC regulatory framework. Alternative 2 retains DZC zoning on western parcels and applies the proposed rezoning to eastern parcels. As demonstrated in Table 1 (Zoning Realignments), Table 2 (Density Standards), and Table 3 (Land Use Allowances), the applicable zoning districts under both alternatives do not exceed previously analyzed density thresholds or introduce land uses beyond those evaluated in the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR and the 2012 DZC MND.

Neither alternative introduces new physical development beyond that previously analyzed. Site conditions and applicable regulations remain unchanged. Accordingly, neither alternative results in new or peculiar environmental effects.

VI. DETERMINATION
In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, the Downtown Zoning Code (DZC) Amendments and Rezoning qualify for streamlined environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 because the following findings are supported by substantial evidence in the record:

1. The project is consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified.

2. There are no project-specific effects which are peculiar to the project or its site, and which the Ukiah 2040 EIR failed to analyze as significant effects.

3. There are no project-specific impacts which the Ukiah 2040 EIR failed to analyze as significant effects.

4. There are no potentially significant offsite and/or cumulative impacts that the Ukiah 2040 EIR failed to evaluate.

5. There is no substantial new information that results in more severe impacts than anticipated by the Ukiah 2040 EIR.

Therefore, the City Council relies upon the EIR previously certified for the Ukiah 2040 General Plan, and further CEQA review is limited pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 and Public Resources Code Section 21083.3.

Comment Letter for City Council Meeting (July 15, 2026)-Item 13b: Amendment and Rezoning of Parcels Within and Adjacent to the City of Ukiah's Downtown Zoning Code Boundary including Drive-thrus.

Mayor Sher and City Council members,
Will the city’s planned revision of the Downtown Zoning Code (DZC) with the elimination of Gibson Creek from the map and text describing it improve the urban landscape? No. proposed code changes are in conflict with our General Plan. The city has failed in providing opportunities for protecting our waterways. The new document strategically drops all previous language that calls for its protection and enhancement in the DZC. The city has yet to mitigate its impaired waterways with one exception, the creation of the purple pipe.

GP 2010 and 2040 have an abundance of language stating policies for protecting waterways. The city contracted with LSA Associates, Inc to study the Gibson Creek corridor and produced the Gibson Creek Habitat Enhancement and Public Access Study in September 2000. Twenty-six years later nothing has been implemented. Since there is no interest in prioritizing Gibson Creek, protecting and enhancing it, obtaining grant funding, budgeting for a capital improvement project and implementing the recommendations one becomes skeptical. In the current 2040 GP, ENV 6.1 it states, “the city shall establish a creek and stream restoration master plan for each creek flowing through the city limits.” With a timeline for its implementation of 2026-2030 but the planning director said it won’t be until 2030. Given this reality, its’s imperative that Gibson Creek continue to be identified on this new map and its language maintained in the revised ordinance.

The DZC’s Initial Environmental Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration of June 2012 the mitigated measures states, “future development projects and construction activities near the Gibson Creek Corridor include a 50’ building setback from the edge of the Gibson Creek riparian corridor. The city wishes to eliminate this requirement.

Historically, the city has neglected and abused its waterways within its boundaries and has been sued many times for it despite the goals and policies in both GPs. It’s not just the public expression from the six-year DZC effort but also from the courthouse environmental scoping EIR. People came out and spoke up for Gibson Creek’s protection for the migrating wildlife using the corridor including protected fish. The late Bill Townsend and other Ukiah Rod and Gun Club members, the late Phil Baldwin, the late Bill Randloph, the Mendocino Fisheries Program, Friends of Gibson Creek, and the former city of Ukiah’s Paths, Open Space and Creeks Commission all have worked and volunteered to benefit creeks and the river within the city. The public have repeatedly expressed that city creeks, particularly Gibson Creek be protected and stewarded.

The Gibson Creek corridor will not be enhanced and protected with this new ordinance.

Eliminating drive-thru language in the DZC is counter-productive. Drive-thrus are magnets of traffic and congestion. The combination of tight spaces, multi-lane queues, distracted drivers converging onto public streets leads to frequent fender-benders, sideswipes, and pedestrian accidents. Increasing opportunities for drive-thrus on Perkins Street is bad public policy that was already debated years ago during the codes creation.

On July 1. 2025 the city received $323,500 from Caltrans for a Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant for the East Perkins Multimodal Transportation Plan. Included in the city’s application to Caltrans was the 2024 Transit Feasibility Study. The study states, “14,000 motorist per day use Perkins Street.” It also stated, “East Perkins Street includes some of the most significant high collision and high injury intersection and roadway segments in the city…due to unsafe speed and improper turning.” Correspondence Received for Agenda Item 13b

Additionally, drive-thrus economically impact and degrade historic downtowns because they disrupt pedestrian flow and stifle surrounding foot traffic. The auto-centric model drains local economic vitality by pushing drivers out of the area immediately after their transaction rather than encouraging them to explore neighboring businesses, like State and School Streets.

The DZC process began in 2006 and was completed in 2012. The city spent thousands of dollars on it. Lois Fisher and Laurel Hall were paid over $100,000.00 for community engagement, illustrations and a plan. They invited the community’s feedback in a charrette format. Fisher and Hall asked the public what they wanted to see and experience in their downtown. The charrette was publicized, well-attended with enthusiastic participation. The Planning Commission spent eighteen months debating and analyzing the pros and cons of design, use/reuse of buildings, development standards and circulation and parking. Planning staff then crafted hundreds of pages from these meetings into a workable code. On April 27, 2011 Mayor Rodin and another council member met with planning commissioners in a joint public workshop. This was followed by the 2012 completion and adoption of the environmental document.

Currently, the Ad-hoc Committee (Doug Crane and Mari Rodin) met with the Planning Department to remove DZC requirements for the Perkins Street Corridor from Main Street to the overpass. These changes were then submitted to the Planning Commission at their 5/27 and 6/10 meeting that passed in a 3.0 vote, absent two commissioners.

The public has given their valuable time and tax dollars to the DZC’s creation. Please demonstrate your respect and support. Empty buildings on East Perkins Street and East Standley Street are due to a myriad of reasons that have little to do with the loss of redevelopment funds and the recession. Erasing every reference of Gibson Creek from the document denies that a creek runs through the area. The GP is not enough to protect this waterway and the DZC as was adopted in 2012 strengthens creek protection. Further relaxation of the drive-thru design on Perkins Street benefits commercial interests over the safety of the traveling public. Both are significant policy changes that benefit a few over the many.

Thank you for your time and attention,
Linda Sanders

9. 14a Correspondence Received - Ghilotti Construction Company Summary: Council will consider and decide the bid protest submitted by Ghilotti Construction Company regarding the apparent low bid submitted by Granite Construction Company for Specification No. 26-01, Capital Pavement Program: Preservation and Overlay Project. Following consideration of the protest, Council will make a final determination based on the evidence and arguments presented, including Staff's recommendation to deny the protest, waive the bid irregularity, and award the construction contract to Granite Construction Company in the amount of $870,470. Council will also consider approving a corresponding budget amendment.

Background: On May 6, 2026, the City Council approved the plans and specifications for the Capital Pavement Program: Preservation and Overlay Project and directed Staff to advertise for bids (Attachment 1).

The project includes roadway rehabilitation on Talmage Road, Waugh Lane, and Mendocino Place through asphalt grind and overlay, ADA curb ramp improvements, drainage improvements, utility improvements, and pavement striping. Funding for the project is provided through the California Transportation Commission Local Partnership Program Formulaic Funds and Senate Bill 1 Road Repair and Accountability Act funds.

Discussion: On June 23, 2026, bids were publicly opened with five bidders responding. Granite Construction Company submitted the apparent low bid of $870,470 (Attachment 2), followed by Ghilotti Construction Company with a bid of $910,709 (Attachment 3). A copy of the bid tabulation is included as Attachment 4.

On June 24, 2026, Ghilotti Construction Company submitted a timely bid protest (Attachment 5) asserting that Granite Construction Company's bid should be rejected as nonresponsive because its bid amount for Mobilization, Demobilization and Final Cleanup exceeded the 2.5% limitation contained in Section 9-1.18A (Attachment 6) of the project specifications.

On June 29, 2026, Granite Construction Company submitted a written response (Attachment 7) requesting

that the protest be denied and that the City proceed with award of the contract. Granite asserted that the mobilization bid item did not affect its total bid price, scope of work, or contractual obligations, and that the deviation constituted an immaterial irregularity that did not provide a competitive advantage or affect the outcome of the competitive bidding process.

The City Attorney reviewed the protest and response and concluded that although Granite's bid exceeded the

2.5% limitation contained in the specifications, the deviation constitutes a waivable irregularity under California competitive bidding law because it did not provide Granite with an unfair competitive advantage or otherwise affect the integrity of the competitive bidding process (Attachment 8).

Granite Construction Company's bid of $870,470 is $40,239 lower than the second-lowest bid submitted by Ghilotti Construction Company. Awarding the contract to Granite Construction Company will result in the lowest construction cost to the City while allowing the project to proceed during the 2026 construction season.

Based on its review of the bid protest, Granite Construction Company's response, and the City Attorney's legal analysis, Staff recommends rejecting the bid protest received from Ghilotti Construction Company, waiving the irregularity in Granite Construction Company's bid, and awarding the contract to Granite Construction Company, the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, in the amount of $870,470 for Specification No. 26- 01, Capital Pavement Program: Preservation and Overlay Project. The City Council should make its decision based on the evidence and arguments presented during the hearing, including the protest, Granite Construction Company's response, the City Attorney's memorandum, and Staff's recommendation.

A corresponding budget amendment in the amount of $957,517 is requested to reflect the awarded construction contract amount plus a 10% contingency. A budget amendment is also requested to recognize up to $400,000 in reimbursement revenue from the California Transportation Commission Local Partnership Program Formulaic Funds (CTC LPP), which will partially offset project costs.

Recommended Action: Consider the bid protest submitted by Ghilotti Construction Company, adopt findings proposed by the City Attorney; reject the protest, waive the bid irregularity in Granite Construction Company's bid, award the contract for Specification No. 26-01, Capital Pavement Program: Preservation and Overlay Project to the lowest responsible bidder, Granite Construction Company, in the amount of $870,470, and approve corresponding budget amendment.

1. Plans and Specifications

2. Adopting SB 1 FY 25-26 Projects
Summary: Council will consider approving the plans and specifications for the Capital Pavement Program:

Preservation and Overlay (CPPPO), Specification 26-01, and direct Staff to advertise for bids. This project includes asphalt grind and overlay on segments of three roads including Talmage Road, Waugh Lane and Mendocino Place. Work includes necessary ADA curb ramp improvements as required, striping and storm drain modification.

Background: This project is meant to rehabilitate sections of three different roads with an asphalt overlay. Talmage Road will be paved from State Street east to the Great Redwood Trail and create bike lanes in both directions to make a connection from the new bike lanes on State Street to the trail. Further sidewalk and pedestrian improvements are planned for anticipated undergrounding of electric utilities that will be designed at a later project. Waugh Lane will be paved from Talmage Road north approximately 740 feet. Work will include construction of two ADA curb ramps at the corner of Talmage Road and Waugh Lane. Mendocino Place will be paved from Mendocino Drive to the end of the cul-de-sac and include construction of two ADA curb ramps with improved pedestrian visibility and storm drain modification. (See Attachment 1.)
Discussion: Engineering staff has applied for funding through the California Transportation Commission (CTC) Local Partnership Program, which will reimburse $400,000.00 of the project's total cost. This grant requires a local match of 50% which will be paid using The Road and Repair Accountability Act (SB1) funding (Attachment 2). The engineer's estimate for total construction is $800,000 including 10% contingency. With Council approval of plans and specifications, Staff will complete an allocation request for funds from the CTC. If Council approves the plans and specifications and directs Staff to advertise for bids, Staff plans to release the project for bids in late May 2026 with anticipated construction and completion in summer 2026.

Recommended Action: Approve Plans and Specifications for the Capital Pavement Program: Preservation and Overlay, Specification 26-01, and direct Staff to advertise for bids.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: David J. Rapport, City Attorney
DATE: July 8, 2026
SUBJECT: Ghilotti Construction Company protest of low bid by Granite Construction _____________________________________________________________________________ On June 24, 2026, Ghilotti Construction Company filed a timely protest to awarding to Granite Construction, the low bidder, the contract for the Capital Pavement Program: Preservation and Overlay Progran – Specification No. 26-01.

I have been asked to provide legal advice concerning the protest hearing and the merits of the bid protest.

GHILOTTI PROTEST
Ghilotti bases its protest on Granite’s bid allegedly violating the requirement in Section 9-1.18A of the specifications that the bid amount for Mobilization, Demobilization and Final Cleanup items shall not exceed 2.5% of the total construction contract base bid price. Granite’s bid for Mobilization, Demobilization and Final Cleanup is $71,000.85. Its total bid is $870,470. The bid amount for Mobilization, Demobilization and Final Cleanup is approximately 8.15% of Granite’s total bid.

PROTEST HEARING
Upon receipt of a timely bid protest, in accordance with the instructions to bidders, the City Council is required to consider a timely bid protest and determine its merits. The City Council’s consideration of the bid protest is not subject to due process requirements. A due process hearing is only required if the protest is based on the qualification of the low bidder to perform the work. (D.H. Williams Construction, Inc. v. Clovis Unified School Dist. (2007) 146 Cal.App.4th 757, 763.). Where, as here, the protest is based on the assertion that the bid is not responsive, no due process hearing is required.

ISSUES TO BE ADDRESSED
ATTACHMENT 8

Memorandum to Mayor and Councilmembers Page 2
Subject: Ghilotti Construction bid protest
Date: July 8, 2926
It is undisputed that the amount Granite included in its bid for Mobilization, Demobilization and Final Cleanup (“M,D&FC”) exceeds the 2.5% limit in Specification Section 9-1.18A. In its written response to the bid protest, Granite argues that its bid is responsive, because Section 9-1.18A does not control the amount its bid provides for M.D&FC. It addresses how much the City will pay for that work.

The Ghilotti protest and Granite’s response present two issues:

1. Is Ghilotti’s bid responsive to the Request for Bids?

2. If not responsive, can the City Council waive the violation of Specification 9-1.18A and accept Granite’s bid?

ANALYSIS

1. Is Granite’s bid responsive?
Specification 9-1.18A provides in relevant part:
9-1.18A Payment Item Descriptions
Payment for Mobilization, Demobilization and Final Cleanup will be made in two (2) equal payments at the lump sum (LS) allowance in the Bid Schedule, which price shall constitute full compensation for all such work. . . . The bid amount for M.D & FC items shall not exceed 2.5% of the total construction contract base bid price.” While Granite is correct that the specification addresses payment, it does expressly require that the bid amount for M.D &FC not exceed 2.5% of the total construction contract base bid price.

If the City Council decides that the specification limits how much the bid can include for M.D.&FC, in deciding whether to reject the bid on this basis, it can consider Granite’s argument in determining whether or not to waive the requirement and accept Granite’s bid.

2. Can the City Council waive the requirement that the bid for M.D.&FC not exceed the

2.5% limit?
Cities are required to put significant contracts out for competitive bidding and to award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder submitting a responsive bid. (See, e.g., Pub. Contract Code, § 20162.)
An inconsequential deviation from the bidding requirements can be waived, if the deviation does not give the low bidder an unfair competitive advantage or the variance cannot have affected the

Memorandum to Mayor and Councilmembers Page 3
Subject: Ghilotti Construction bid protest
Date: July 8, 2926
amount of the bid. (DeSilva Gates Construction, LP v. Department of Transportation, (CA 3 2015) 242 Cal. App. 4th 1409, 1422-1423.)
An unfair competitive advantage could exist if the deviation would:

1. Allow the low bidder to bid less than the competing bidders; or

2. Allow the low bidder to withdraw its bid under Public Contract Code Section 5103 without forfeiting its bid bond. (MCM Construction, Inc. v. City and County of San Francisco (CA 1 1998) 66 Cal. App. 4th 359, 375, citing Valley Crest Landscape, Inc. v. City Council, 41 Cal.

App. 4th 1432.)
Since Granite is the low bidder even though its bid for M.D.&FC exceeded the 2.5% limit in Specification 9-1.18A, the deviation did not allow it to bid less than the competing bid from Ghilotti.

To withdraw its bid under Public Contract Code Section 5103, the bidder must establish that:
(a) A mistake was made.
(b) He or she gave the public entity written notice of the mistake within five working days of the bid opening.
(c) The mistake made the bid materially different than he or she intended it to be. (d) The mistake was made in filling out the bid and not due to error in judgment or to carelessness in inspecting the site of the work, or in reading the plans or specifications.

On its face exceeding the percentage limits in Specification 9-1.18A does not appear to be a mathematical error or error in filing out a bid form. It appears that Granite estimated its cost for M.D.&FC at $71,000.85. Accordingly, it could not withdraw its bid without penalty under Public Contract Code Section 5103.

Accordingly, the City Council could make findings that would warrant waving the nonconforming amount bid for M.D.&FC and award the bid to Granite as the low bidder. Granite argues that when it submits a payment request that includes M.D.&FC, in processing that request the 2.5% limit can be addressed and resolved. Any such resolution could lower, but is unlikely to increase, the amount payable to Granite under the contract. This further supports treating the M.D.&FC in Granite’s bid as an inconsequential deviation that does not give Granite an unfair competitive advantage over Ghilotti.

DRAFT FINDINGS:

1. Specification Section 9-1.18A provides, in part:

Payment for Mobilization, Demobilization and Final Cleanup will be made in two (2)

Memorandum to Mayor and Councilmembers Page 4
Subject: Ghilotti Construction bid protest
Date: July 8, 2926
equal payments at the lump sum (LS) allowance in the Bid Schedule, which price shall constitute full compensation for all such work. . . . The bid amount for Mobilization, Demobilization and Final Cleanup items shall not exceed 2.5% of the total construction contract base bid price.

2. Granite Construction’s bid of $71,000.85 for Mobilization, Demobilization and Final Cleanup is approximately 8.1% of its total bid substantially exceeding the 2.5% limit in Specification Section 9-1.18A.

3. This failure to comply with Section No. 9-1.18A is waivable, because it does not give Granite a competitive advantage over other bidders.
a. Despite the amount included in its bid for Mobilization, Demobilization and Final Cleanup, its bid is still the low bid.
b. As provided in Section No. 9-1.18A the amount included in Granite’s bid for Mobilization, Demobilization and Final Cleanup will be subject to review and approval, when Granite applies for payment of those costs.
c. The amount for Mobilization, Demobilization and Final Cleanup included in its bid would not entitle Granite to withdraw its bid without forfeiting its bid bond under Public Contract Code Section 5103, because the mistake (1) did not make the bid materially different than intended and (2) the amount included in Item 1 could not be considered a mistake made in filling out the bid form or result from a mathematical error..

Good morning Mr. Fisette,
Just one clarifying question: “Does the City of Ukiah intend to comply with the City’s standard specifications for this project which incorporate Public Contract Code 10264 regarding the payment of mobilization?”
If the answer to the question above is “Yes”, then contractors that failed to comply with the 2.5% maximum Mob requirement in the specifications enjoy a significant advantage over other bidders who did comply.

In this case, Granite’s cashflow position on this project will be greatly enhanced for having bid the Mob in excess of $50,000 above the allowable 2.5%. Based on the PCC10264 Mob payment schedule (shown below), Granite will receive those dollars very early in the project, thereby giving them a large cash infusion and cashflow advantage over other bidders who complied with the 2.5% limitation requirement.

In other words, to say it “did not provide Granite with an unfair competitive advantage” is not accurate.

Please see examples A and B below showing how other public agencies and municipalities have managed this issue. **************************************************************************************************** Example A

2. Resolution - Census Tract 116 Recommendation as OZ
Summary: Council will consider adoption of a resolution recommending the designation of Census Tract 06045011600 for Opportunity Zones 2.0; and direct the Community Development Director to prepare and submit a Local Authority Recommendation Form for Census Tract 06045011600 to the California Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz).

Background: The Opportunity Zone (OZ) Program was established under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 to encourage the reinvestment of capital gains into economically distressed communities. Defined at the individual census tract level, OZs are nominated by the governors of each state and territory, as well as the Mayor of the District of Columbia, and certified by the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury through a delegation of authority to the Internal Revenue Service. Under certain conditions, new investments in OZs may be eligible for preferential tax incentives.

The Opportunity Zone Program was originally scheduled to sunset on December 31, 2026, but with the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) on July 4, 2025, the program is now a permanent part of the federal tax code. As part of this legislation, a new round of Opportunity Zone census tract designations— referred to as "Opportunity Zones 2.0" — will be introduced. Designation of new OZs will be in place for 10 years and will refresh every 10 years thereafter.

According to the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz), "OZs can be a powerful tool for driving private investment into underserved communities." OZ investments are often layered with other forms of public and private financing, as part of the "capital stack," to redevelop properties and promote projects that provide economic growth, job creation, and community revitalization. The OZ tax incentive can support a range of investments, including commercial and industrial real estate, housing, infrastructure, and both existing and start-up businesses. For real estate projects to qualify, the investment must be "original use" or result in the property being "substantially improved." Discussion: In the first iteration of the Opportunity Zones Program in 2017, the Department of Treasury designated Census Tract 06045011501 (115.01) as an OZ but not Census Tract 06045011600 (116.00).

Census Tract 115.01 represents an area at the far northern tip of Ukiah's downtown but does not include the downtown core, which contains many of the properties such as the Palace Hotel, that may benefit from more significant investment. Census Tract 115.01 is not eligible for recommendation in Opportunity Zones 2.0.

Census Tract 06045011600 (116.00) is eligible for selection by the Governor as an Opportunity Zone and includes nearly all of Ukiah's downtown, as well as many of the commercial areas of Ukiah and the Ukiah Municipal Airport. See Attachment 1 for a map of Census Tract 116.00, which is provided by Novogradac to illustrate census tracts eligible for designation as OZs.

Census Tract 116.00 is especially unique within the Opportunity Zones 2.0 Program, as it has been designated as both "Eligible" and "Rural." Eligible rural census tract designations enable a potentially greater likelihood of investment under the OBBBA, as they contain special incentives compared to non-urban census tracts, such as a reduction of the "substantial improvement" requirement from 100% to 50% of the purchase price, as well as an increase in the step-up of basis from 10% to 30%.

Staff recommends Council adopt the Resolution in Attachment 2 recommending the designation of Census Tract 06045011600 for Opportunity Zones 2.0; and direct the Community Development Director to prepare and submit the Local Authority Recommendation Form for Census Tract 06045011600 to GO-Biz.

Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution recommending the designation of Census Tract 06045011600 for Opportunity Zones 2.0; and direct the Community Development Director to prepare and submit the Local Authority Recommendation Form for Census Tract 06045011600 to the California Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz).

RESOLUTION NO. 2026-

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UKIAH RECOMMENDING CENSUS TRACT 06045011600 (116), LOCATED IN AND ENCOMPASSING MOST OF UKIAH’S DOWNTOWN AND SURROUNDING COMMERCIAL AREAS, BE DESIGNATED AN

OPPORTUNITY ZONE UNDER THE UPDATED FEDERAL OPPORTUNITY ZONES PROGRAM (“OPPORTUNITY ZONE 2.0”) ENACTED BY THE ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL ACT ON JULY 4, 2025; AND AUTHORIZING THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR TO SUBMIT SUCH

RECOMMENDATION THROUGH THE LOCAL AUTHORITY RECOMMENDATION FORM AND OTHER APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS, TO THE CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR’S OFFICE OF BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (“GO-BIZ”)
WHEREAS:

1. The Federal Opportunity Zone Program was established to encourage long-term private investment in designated low-income communities through federal tax incentives tied to capital gains reinvestments; and

2. The updated Opportunity Zone Program (“Opportunity Zone 2.0”) continues and refines these incentives, with an emphasis of driving equitable economic growth, job creation, and redevelopment in targeted areas; and

3. The State of California, through the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development (“GO-Biz”) and the Department of Finance, is conducting a formal engagement process allowing local communities to recommend census tracts for Governor consideration under the Opportunity Zone 2.0 program; and

4. The Governor of California will submit recommended census tracts to the United States Department of the Treasury, which will make the final determination regarding Opportunity Zone designation; and

5. Census Tract 116 (GEOID 06045011600) is located in and contains much of the area of Ukiah’s historic downtown, as well as other areas that would benefit from increased private investment, redevelopment, and economic activity; and

6. The City Council has adopted a Strategic Plan that directs identification and/or development of funding for essential and vital infrastructure for the long-term (SP-2B), the identification and removal of barriers to economic development while leveraging economic opportunities (SP4A), and the development and preservation of the historic downtown as a regional center of civic and economic activity (SP-4B); and

7. The City of Ukiah 2040 General Plan established an Economic Development Element that directs goals of being a key partner with other agencies and organizations to achieve the City’s and the region’s economic goals (ED-1), promoting a strong local economy by

improving critical infrastructure, including water, transportation, and renewable energy (ED2), providing opportunities for expansion of businesses by ensuring the availability of suitable sites, appropriate zoning, and access to infrastructure and amenities (ED-3), maintaining a supportive business climate and a healthy economy that leads to the expansion of existing businesses and the attraction of new ones (ED-6), and fostering a robust and diversified local economy that provides quality employment and attracts stable businesses (ED-10); and

8. Census Tract 116 (GEOID 06045011600) includes redevelopment opportunities aligned with the City Council’s adopted economic development goals and policies, including activation of vacant, abandoned, and underutilized properties, enhancement of the downtown core, and attraction of private investment into surrounding commercial areas; and

9. Designation as an Opportunity Zone can enhance the financial feasibility of development projects by attracting private equity, lowering capital costs, and increasing the competitiveness of projects seeking investment.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Ukiah hereby:

1. Recommends the designation of Census Tract 06045011600 (116) as an Opportunity Zone under the updated Federal Opportunity Zone Program (“2.0”); and

2. Directs the Community Development Director to prepare and submit the Local Authority Recommendation Form, plus any related documents, to the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (“GO-Biz”).

1. 2026 City Council Special Assignments & Ad Hocs
Summary: City Council members will provide reports and updates on their committee and ad hoc assignments. If necessary, the Council may consider modifications.

Background: City Council members are assigned to a number of committees and ad hoc activities. These assignments are included as Attachment 1.

Discussion: Previously, the City Council discussed having more time allocated to reporting on committee and ad hoc activities. Often, the Council Reports section of the regular agenda is rushed due to impending business (i.e., public hearings), and not enough time is afforded for reports beyond community activities.

In an effort to foster regular updates on committee and ad hoc assignments, this item is being placed on the agenda to provide the City Council members an expanded opportunity to report on assignments and modify assignments as necessary.

Recommended Action: Receive report(s). The Council will consider modifications to committee and ad hoc assignments along with the creation/elimination ad hoc(s).

2026 AD HOC COMMITTEES
*Note: Changing the composition of an existing ad-hoc among current councilmembers after work has begun presents potential Brown Act issues. Requests for fully filled ad-hocs are represented on the draft, but staff does not recommend changes except to fill vacated assignments. The current requests on the sheet for fully composed ad-hocs are primarily intended to convey interest in topics covered by these ad-hoc committees for possible future consideration of new assignments.
