City Council Staff Report Page 1 of 3 September 22, 2026 Staff Report
Agenda Item No. 3.3
DATE: September 22, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joan Malloy, City Manager
SUBJECT: Waive Further Reading and Adopt an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Union City Amending Sections 2.21.030, 2.21.040,
2.23.020, 2.23.030, 2.24.030, 2.25.030, 2.25.040, and 2.26.020 of the Union City Municipal Code to Standardize the Annual Selection of Commission Chairs and Vice Chairs
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the ordinance introduced on September 8, 2026, to establish a common annual schedule for selecting commission chairs and vice chairs. The five affected commissions would elect officers at their first regular meeting in January, or at the first regular meeting thereafter if they do not meet in January. The new cycle would begin in 2027. If adopted on September 22, 2026, the ordinance would take effect on October 22, 2026.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This item supports Goal B: Governance and Organizational Effectiveness, as identified in the September 8 staff report, by establishing consistent commission procedures and aligning officer selection with calendar-year appointments.
BACKGROUND
On September 8, 2026, the City Council voted 5–0 to waive full reading and introduce the ordinance. The Council also adopted the companion resolution establishing the same officer-selection schedule for the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee and the Sales Tax and Utility Users’ Tax Oversight Committee. That resolution has already been adopted and does not require a second reading.
The ordinance follows the City’s transition to calendar-year appointments. Existing Municipal Code provisions require officer elections to be held in different months, and some commission bylaws set conflicting dates.
21 of 331
Agenda Item No. 3.3
City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 3 September 22, 2026
DISCUSSION
The ordinance amends Union City Municipal Code Sections 2.21.030, 2.21.040,
2.23.020, 2.23.030, 2.24.030, 2.25.030, 2.25.040, and 2.26.020 (the “Code”). It applies to the Park and Recreation Commission, Planning Commission, Human Relations Commission, Senior Citizens Commission, and Arts & Culture Commission. Staff proposes adoption of the ordinance as introduced.
Officers would assume office upon election and serve until successors are elected, unless removed or replaced sooner. An officer vacancy would be filled at the next regular meeting at which the election can be properly noticed.
The transition provisions carry the affected 2026 officers into the first officer election after January 1, 2027. If adopted as scheduled, the Arts & Culture Commission would not hold a separate officer election in December 2026. Staff liaisons would coordinate the required agenda items and conforming bylaw updates.
During the September 8 discussion, Councilmember Wang requested updates to outdated Youth Commission policies. The City Manager stated that staff would align those policies with the Youth Commission’s school-year schedule and procedures. That followup is separate from this ordinance, which does not change the Youth Commission’s schedule.
Adoption on September 22 would make the ordinance effective October 22, 2026. The annual January election cycle would begin in 2027.
FISCAL IMPACT
No additional appropriation is requested. Staff would complete agenda preparation, implementation, and bylaw coordination within existing resources.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council waive further reading and adopt the ordinance amending Union City Municipal Code Sections 2.21.030, 2.21.040, 2.23.020, 2.23.030,
2.24.030, 2.25.030, 2.25.040, and 2.26.020 to standardize the annual selection of commission chairs and vice chairs beginning in January 2027.

Agenda Item No. 3.5
DATE: September 22, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joan Malloy, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Approving an Amendment to the Compensation and Benefit Plan for Unrepresented Employees Related to Retirement Benefits
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving an amendment to the Compensation and Benefit Plan for Unrepresented Employees to clarify and update the provisions governing employer-paid member contributions (EPMC) and employee cost sharing for CalPERS retirement benefits and make other minor revisions for clarification on classifications and to include the link to the posted salary schedule. These changes are not substantive and merely reflect actions already approved by the City Council.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This change supports Goal B, Governance and Organization Effectiveness, of the strategic plan in aligning local government best practices and supporting employee retention.
BACKGROUND
The Compensation and Benefit Plan for Unrepresented Employees applies to designated Department Head, Management, and Non-Management classifications. The Plan currently identifies the applicable classifications and provides that these positions receive compensation and benefits pursuant to the Plan and the City’s Compensation Plan and salary schedule.
Section 6.00 of the Plan addresses retirement benefits under CalPERS. The current Plan references Resolution No. 5885-22 and identifies the City’s EPMC provisions.
The proposed redlined amendments are intended to clarify this language and ensure that the Plan accurately reflects the City’s current administration of these provisions. 37 of 331
Agenda Item No. 3.5
City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 3 September 22, 2026 The City’s Human Resources Department, in coordination with the Finance Department and the City Attorney’s Office, reviewed and updated the Compensation and Benefit Plan in accordance with the guidance provided by the CalPERS Audit Resolution Unit to ensure the necessary guidance and appropriate language. CalPERS recommended that the City incorporate language consistent with the City’s existing EPMC resolution into the Compensation and Benefit Plan. This results in no substantive change.
DISCUSSION
The proposed revisions primarily affect Section 6.00, Retirement Benefits (CalPERS).
The amendments clarify the provisions governing Employer Paid Member Contributions (EPMC) for CalPERS Classic Members and distinguish the applicable EPMC provisions based upon employee membership status and applicable retirement formula. Specifically, the revised language identifies the City’s EPMC treatment for Classic Miscellaneous Employees hired on or before November 29, 2010, and for those hired on or after November 30, 2010. The revised language also expressly provides that the City does not pay and report EPMC for CalPERS New Members, consistent with Government Code Section 7522.34.
The proposed amendments also clarify the employee cost-sharing provisions associated with the CalPERS retirement plans. Rather than identifying a single employee contribution percentage for all employees within a retirement formula, the revised language recognizes that employee cost-sharing may vary by group.
The revisions further clarify that contribution levels may change based upon the CalPERS valuation report. This language is intended to recognize that CalPERS contribution requirements are subject to periodic actuarial valuation and that employee cost-sharing arrangements may also be affected by applicable negotiated agreements. The revised language therefore provides greater flexibility for the Compensation and Benefit Plan to accurately describe the City’s obligations and employee contributions as those amounts change over time.
The proposed amendments do not otherwise modify the substantive compensation and benefit provisions contained in the Plan. The Plan continues to provide the applicable retirement formulas and benefits for Classic Members and New Members. The change was requested by CalPERS.
The City recommends revising the Compensation and Benefit Plan for Unrepresented Employees to include pay and reporting for EPMC and to update the cost-sharing to reflect current levels.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no additional fiscal impact, as salaries are based on the approved Classification and Compensation Plan and would remain so.
RECOMMENDATION
The City recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving amendments to the Compensation and Benefit Plan for Unrepresented Employees, as set forth in Exhibit 38 of 331
Agenda Item No. 3.5
City Council Staff Report Page 3 of 3 September 22, 2026 A, to update and clarify provisions related to CalPERS Employer Paid Member Contributions (EPMC) and employee cost sharing.

Upon expiration of the Unpaid Leave of Absence, the employee will be reinstated to the position held at the time leave was granted. Failure of the employee to report promptly at the expiration of the Unpaid Leave of Absence, or within a reasonable time after 52 of 331

Agenda Item No. 3.6
DATE: September 22, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joan Malloy, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Amending the Budget to Appropriate $10,000 From the Union Landing Property Improvement District Fund Towards Marketing and Promotion for the Sama-Sama Fest 2026 in Union Landing
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution to appropriate $10,000 from the Union Landing Property Business Improvement District (PBID) Fund toward marketing and promotion for the 2026 Sama-Sama Fest at Union Landing.
The inaugural Sama-Sama Fest was held at Union Landing on October 11, 2025, and attracted more than 4,500 attendees from Union City and throughout the greater Bay Area. The event celebrates Filipino American culture, provides additional community programming, and brings visitors to Union Landing.
The 2026 event is anticipated to cost $31,000, with $21,000 currently committed through sponsorships and ULPOA funding, leaving a $10,000 funding shortfall. Staff has identified available PBID reserve funds as a potential non-General Fund source to help address the shortfall.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This agenda item is aligned with the following:
Goal C, Strategy 4: Enhance the City’s partnership with Union Landing property owners and tenants to grow the vitality of the business district and revenue to the City.
BACKGROUND
Sama-Sama Fest is a celebration of Filipino American culture, heritage, and community spirit. The event is inspired by the Filipino phrase Sama-Sama, meaning “together,” and is intended to bring Union City together to celebrate Filipino contributions, share cultural traditions, and strengthen community connections.

Agenda Item No. 3.6
City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 3 September 22, 2026 6 9 9
The inaugural Sama-Sama Fest was held on October 11, 2025, at Union Landing Shopping Center. The event was hosted by the Union Landing Property Owners Association (ULPOA), with Community Strong Strategies providing event organization and Moveable serving as the promoter and event producer.
The event was developed in part to provide additional community events for Union City residents, a priority identified by the City Council and the Mayor. The inaugural event attracted more than 4,500 attendees from Union City and throughout the greater Bay Area, including the Peninsula and Central Valley. (See Exhibit A.) The event featured merchandise and community organization booths, food trucks, and entertainment from Bay Area artists.
Due to the success of the inaugural event, ULPOA would like to host Sama-Sama Fest again on October 11, 2026. The 2026 event is anticipated to have $31,000 in production and operational costs.
At the annual ULPOA meeting held on September 3, 2026, Nathan Ulsh of Community Strong Strategies indicated that the ULPOA required additional funds to host the event in 2026.
Current funding commitments are as follows:
Table 1 – Funding Sources
Funding Source Amount
Fremont Bank $5,000
Kaiser Permanente $5,000
Alameda County $1,000
Union Landing Property Owners Association $10,000
Total Confirmed Funding $21,000
Remaining Funding Shortfall $10,000
DISCUSSION
Staff explored potential funding sources that would not require an allocation from the City's General Fund and identified available unappropriated reserve funds within the Union Landing PBID Fund as a potential source of support.
The Union Landing PBID supports activities and improvements that benefit the Union Landing commercial area, and permissible uses of funding from the Union Landing PBID Fund include marketing and promotions. As a regional power center and one of the City's most significant commercial destinations, Union Landing plays an important role in Union City's economic development strategy.
Special events at Union Landing can support both economic development and 62 of 331
Agenda Item No. 3.6
City Council Staff Report Page 3 of 3 September 22, 2026 6 9 9
community-building objectives by bringing residents and visitors to the center, increasing business activity, promoting Union Landing as a regional destination, and raising awareness of Union City among visitors from throughout the Bay Area.
Union Landing is also the City's largest generator of sales tax revenue, contributing more than $2.5 million annually to the City's General Fund. Supporting activities that increase visitation and strengthen Union Landing as a regional retail destination can therefore provide economic benefits to both the commercial district and the City.
The 2025 Sama-Sama Fest demonstrated its ability to attract significant attendance, with more than 4,500 attendees in its inaugural year.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed $10,000 would be drawn from available reserves in the Union Landing Property Improvement District fund.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution to appropriate $10,000 from the Union Landing Property Improvement District Fund toward marketing and promotion for the Sama-Sama Fest 2026 in Union Landing.

The final Parcel Map will be based on the verified survey project boundary, approved Tentative Parcel Map and Conditions of Approval. A current title report (within 30 days of written notice to proceed) will be provided by the client.
Kimley-Horn will assemble and submit a completed Parcel Map submittal package to the City. This includes pertinent reference information such as deeds, maps, easements, traverse closure reports and non-interference/approval letters from utility agencies serving the property. Kimley-Horn will include in the submittal the documentation that was gathered as part of the boundary verification task under the original contract, along with other available public records, such as maps and documents from the City, County, CalTrans, and title company. Additional documentation may include copies of Tract Maps, Parcel Maps, Records of Survey Maps, Corner Records, Centerline Ties, Certificate of Corrections, Right-of-way maps, Deeds, Street and Public Utility easements, and encumbrance documents listed in the Title Report provided by the client. This includes 72 of 331
First Amendment to the Consulting Services Agreement
between City of Union City and Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.
records for the property in question and the immediate surrounding adjacent parcels.
The final map will consist of the following 18” x 26” sheets:
1. One title sheet for statements, certifications, signatures and notary acknowledgments including stamps from appropriate surveyors and engineers required to sign the map. Additional sheets for notary signatures as may be necessary.
2. Boundary resolution sheet indicating found monumentation; boundary establishment notes, record map titles with lot/parcel designations; street rightsof-way with names; boundary and parcel lines; measured and record dimensions for centerlines, boundary and existing property lines; existing easements with reference recording information; proposed easements; survey notes including basis of bearings, record maps, deed references, property areas (net & gross), set and found monument descriptions. Additional sheets as necessary for detail and clarity.
3. One Index sheet noting sheet numbers for location of parcels, easements, details and vicinity map if necessary.
4. Parcel Sheets drafted at 30’ to 40’ scale for proposed property lines, rights-of-way, easement dedications, open space, landscape, basins, common areas and reserved lots. Information shown will detail property line dimensions, centerline and right-of-way line dimensions, parcel numbers, easement identification and dimensions, street names and lot designations, indication of restricted access or driveway access locations.
This task includes Coordination with client, title company, public agencies and subconsultants for completion of tasks listed and noted deliverables.
Task 3 – Monumentation
Kimley-Horn will set or replace any property corner monuments, or offsets thereof, to establish the boundary of the subject property and newly created Parcel corners. There are an estimated 26 monuments required to be set for the existing boundary and current Parcel configuration.
Monuments set for centerline and Right-of-Way of proposed street improvements are not included and will be deferred to after roadway is constructed under the General Contractor services. No centerline ties are included due to completion of improvements construction would be required prior to setting survey tie markers.

6/29/2026 6/29/2026 [ ] 6/30/2026 [ ] 7/2/2026 [ ] 6/30/2026[ ] Grant of Roadway Easement to City of Union City
PURPOSE:
To obtain Board authorization for the General Manager or his designee to enter into any agreements and execute all documents necessary to effectuate the sale of a roadway easement of approximately 9,152 square feet to the City of Union City.
DISCUSSION:
BART is the fee owner of a 53,470 square foot parcel of real property located adjacent to Alvarado-Niles Road in Union City CA, identified as Alameda County Assessor’s Parcel number 87-11-18-3, also known as BART Parcel O-AB74 (the “BART Property”). The BART Property is bordered by two City of Union City parcels both to the north and south and serves as an access road for BART to its tracks continuing Fox Avenue and for the adjacent property by way of an Ingress/Egress Easement.
The City of Union City (the “City”) is the fee owner of a 37-acre property adjacent to the south of the BART Property, identified as Alameda County Assessor’s Parcel number 87- 11-15-14 (the “City Property”). The City is in the process of selling the City Property to City Ventures, a developer, who plans to build approximately 535 multi-family units on the site, known as the Gateway Site (“the Development”).
Implementation of the Development requires construction of various circulation improvements in and adjacent to the site, including a signalized intersection located at Alvarado-Niles Road and a roadway configuration located both within the Development as well as on a 9,152 square foot portion of the BART Property (“Roadway Improvements”).
If the Board authorizes the sale of the Roadway Easement, it will become part of the City’s 92 of 331
Grant of Roadway Easement to City of Union City (cont.) street system.
In order to comply with the obligation to construct the Roadway Improvements, the City has made an offer to purchase a 9,252 square foot Roadway Easement on the BART Property (the “Roadway Easement”). See Attachment 1 – Location Map. The Roadway Easement is identified as BART Parcel O-AB74E7. The subject easement area is part of the BART Property that has no economic development potential otherwise. It is encumbered with numerous easements, including the Ingress/Egress Easement. The City has agreed to pay BART the full appraised fair market value of $53,290 based on an appraisal report prepared by Terry Larson of Larson Valuation, LLC, dated April 3, 2026.
The appraisal report establishes fair market value and conforms to Standards Rule 2-2(a) of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (“USPAP”) and the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, 42 U. S. C. 4601 et seq., (“URA”) as amended.
Prior to execution, the Office of the General Counsel will approve all documents reasonably necessary to effectuate the sale of the Easement as to form.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If the BART Board authorizes the sale of the proposed Roadway Easement, the District will receive $53,290. BART will incur no costs in selling the Roadway Easement other than Office of General Counsel and Real Estate and Property Management staff time. The sale proceeds will be deposited into BART’s General Fund.
ALTERNATIVES:
Do not authorize the sale of the Roadway Easement, forgoing a one-time revenue of $53,470 for BART. The developer would likely need to redesign the project, potentially reducing the number of residential units.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the following Motion.
MOTION:
The Board of Directors authorizes the General Manager or his designee to enter into an agreement to sell an approximately 9,152 square foot roadway easement, and to execute any other documents reasonably necessary to effectuate said sale. 93 of 331

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Approving the Award of a Construction Contract to McKim Corporation, in the Amount of $641,564, Approving a Total Construction Budget, in the Amount of $769,877, and Appropriating $799,877 From Various Funds to the Dyer Street Pavement Rehabilitation Project - Phase 2, City Project No. 26-38
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution approving the award of a construction contract to McKim Corporation, in the amount of $641,564, approving a total construction budget in the amount of $769,877, and appropriating $799,877 from various funds to the Dyer Street Pavement Rehabilitation Project - Phase 2, City Project No. 26-
38. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This agenda item is aligned with the following:
Goal D, Strategy 2: Environmental Sustainability and Infrastructure – Implement the City’s capital improvement plan.
BACKGROUND
The City’s 2021 Bicycle & Pedestrian Master Plan (BPMP) identified Dyer Street as needing roadway rehabilitation and as a gap in the City’s bicycle network. On May 23, 2017, City Council adopted Resolution No. 5073-17, accepting $872,000 of Federal One Bay Area Grant 2 (OBAG2) funds for the Dyer Street Rehabilitation Project.
On August 10, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 5816-21, awarding the construction contract for the Dyer Street Rehabilitation Project (City Project No. 18-20).
The work comprised:
• Repairing uplifted or damaged sidewalks, curbs & gutters and upgrading ramps • Grinding down the roadway pavement and applying a new asphalt concrete layer 103 of 331
Agenda Item No. 3.9
City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 4 September 22, 2026 • Incorporating buffered bike lane striping in each direction along with complete streets elements accounting for improved visibility, parking, and bus stop incorporation (this last improvement was identified in the 2012 Bicycle & Pedestrian Master Plan and, again, in the 2021 update)
The project was substantially completed in February 2022 and, on June 14, 2022, City Council adopted Resolution No. 5950-22, accepting the completion of work for Phase I of the Dyer Street Rehabilitation Project, City Project No. 18-20.
Staff determined that further improvements on Dyer Street were warranted and sought additional funding to implement a second phase. On February 24, 2026, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2026-021, accepting $50,000 from the Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA) for the Dyer Street Pavement Rehabilitation Project - Phase 2.
On May 12, 2026, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2026-057, adopting a list of projects for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 funded by SB 1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. The list of projects includes the Dyer Street Pavement Rehabilitation Project - Phase 2 (to be named City Project No. 26-38).
CIP Project No. 26-38 includes approximately 145,000 square feet of roadway surface rehabilitation on Dyer Street from Deborah Drive to Union City Boulevard. Additionally, bicycle improvements will be made by integrating approximately 0.8 miles of traditional class II and buffered class II lanes into the roadway, as well as minor pedestrian and transit stop upgrades to improve the quality of those alternative modes of travel.
Project specifics were presented to the City’s Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) on July 21, 2026. The BPAC was able to openly discuss project details, express concerns, and voice their support for the project. The BPAC was supportive of the project, citing improvements in bicycle safety and the need to fill the bicycle network gap.
On August 21, 2026, plans and specifications for the project were released and advertised for bids (Attachment 1).
On September 8, 2026, the City received twelve (12) bids (see Exhibit A), with the lowest responsive and responsible base bid of $566,963.50 submitted by McKim Corporation of Gilroy, California. The twelve bids received indicate a competitive bidding process, with the two lowest bids within 5% of each other.
DISCUSSION
The low bid is approximately 27% below the engineer’s estimate of $780,000. McKim Corporation has done work for Union City previously, completing the Decoto Road Pavement Rehabilitation Project in 2024-25, with additional reference checks being satisfactory.
The recommended total construction budget of $769,877 includes the base bid amount of $566,964, additional bid alternate items (BA1 through BA6) totaling $74,600, and a construction contingency of $128,313, approximately 20% of the construction contract amount. Including the construction budget and the inspection services, the total project 104 of 331
Agenda Item No. 3.9
City Council Staff Report Page 3 of 4 September 22, 2026 budget is $799,877.

Agenda Item No. 3.10
DATE: September 22, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joan Malloy, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the First Amendment to the Consulting Services Agreement with Gates Studio, in the Amount of $41,930, for a Total Not-to-Exceed Contract Amount of $340,940, for Additional Scope of Work for the Revision and Update of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, City Project No. 24-20, and Appropriating $41,930 from the Park-In-Lieu Fund in Fiscal Year 2026-2027 for Project No. 24-20
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the First Amendment to the Consulting Services Agreement with Gates Studio in the amount of $41,930. The amendment adds project management services and technical analyses needed to complete the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, extends the agreement through December 31, 2027, and increases the total not-to-exceed contract amount from $299,010 to $340,940. Approval will also appropriate $41,930 from the Park-In-Lieu Fund in Fiscal Year 2026-2027 for City Project No. 24-20. No General Fund funding is required. These services will support future decisions concerning park funding, staffing, and maintenance.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This agenda item is aligned with the following:
Goal D, Strategy 11: Develop a ten-year plan for parks operations, maintenance, and capital improvements.
BACKGROUND
The City’s original Parks and Recreation Master Plan, adopted in 1999, is well past its useful life. The 25-year plan is a very basic document that provides only a high-level overview of the city’s parks system, with limited detail on implementation strategies, community engagement, and long-term vision. It lacks the depth and data-driven analysis needed to guide modern park planning, such as equity mapping, sustainability goals, and maintenance standards.
113 of 331
Agenda Item No. 3.10
City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 3 September 22, 2026 On May 13, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-064, approving a Consulting Services Agreement with Gates + Associates, Inc. in the amount of $299,010 to revise and update the 1999 Parks and Recreation Master Plan. The proposed amendment identifies Gates Studio as the successor consultant following a consolidation of the two legal entities. The original scope of work included eight components, Tasks A through H, and one optional component, Task I: Optional Services. Staff excluded Task I from the original agreement because it would have exceeded the $300,000 available in Fiscal Year 2024-2025. Staff anticipated revisiting Task I when additional funding became available.
DISCUSSION
As the project progressed, staff determined that the services identified under Task I were necessary to produce a comprehensive and implementable Parks and Recreation Master Plan. These services include:
1. A capital improvement program funding strategy
2. A staffing assessment
3. A parks maintenance operations plan
These services will provide additional analysis of the City’s staffing levels, maintenance operations, and long-term capital funding needs. The results will help identify service gaps and inform future park improvements, staffing decisions, and maintenance priorities.
The amendment also adds services under Task H: Project Management. The expanded scope includes eight additional coordination meetings, along with related agenda preparation, meeting minutes, and project coordination, from January through May 2027.
Although adoption of the updated master plan is anticipated in spring 2027, the amendment extends the agreement through December 31, 2027, to accommodate potential delays and post-adoption work.
The amendment adds $40,080 in fixed fees and up to $1,850 in reimbursable expenses, for a total increase of $41,930. This increases the total not-to-exceed contract amount from $299,010 to $340,940.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the proposed resolution will appropriate $41,930 from the Park-In-Lieu Fund in Fiscal Year 2026-2027 for City Project No. 24-20. The funding will be charged to Account No. 255-92420-57115. The amendment includes $40,080 in fixed fees and up to $1,850 in reimbursable expenses, increasing the total not-to-exceed contract amount from $299,010 to $340,940.
No General Fund funding is required.

Agenda Item No. 3.11
DATE: September 22, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joan Malloy, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Approving an Exchange of the Remaining Local Match Balance for the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s Bus Accelerated Infrastructure Delivery Grant Program, in the Amount of $41,208, from ACTIA Streets & Roads Fund to Measure BB (2014) Fund for the Alvarado-Niles Road Part-Time Transit Lane Pilot Project, City Project No. 24-21, and Amending the Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan to Reflect the Changes in Funding
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving an exchange of the remaining Local Match Balance for the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s Bus Accelerated Infrastructure Delivery Grant Program, in the amount of $41,208, from ACTIA Streets & Roads Fund to Measure BB (2014) Fund for the Alvarado-Niles Road Part-Time Transit Lane Pilot Project, City Project No. 24-21, and amending the Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan to reflect the changes in funding.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
There is no direct alignment with the Strategic Plan.
BACKGROUND
The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), a regional planning agency, has been designated as the federal Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and the state Regional Transportation Agency (RTPA) for the San Francisco Bay Area. MTC from time to time provides available regional, state, and federal funds to itself as an MPO and RTPA, and otherwise to local agencies, and these funds are used for planning and programming transportation, transit, land use, or other projects relevant to MTC or its statutory purposes.
On July 10, 2018, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 5360-18, authorizing the City Manager to enter into a Master Funding Agreement with the MTC for funding Planning, Programming, Transportation, Transit, Land Use or Other Projects for Fiscal Years 2018- 2019 through 2027-2028.
123 of 331
Agenda Item No. 3.11
City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 4 September 22, 2026 The Bus Accelerated Infrastructure Delivery (BusAID) program is a $30 million Bay Area initiative managed by the MTC to speed up bus travel and boost reliability. Union City Transit and Public Works submitted a BusAID grant program application on February 23, 2024, with the following project description:
The pilot project consists of bus-lane striping and new signage to alert motorists to time restrictions when on-street parking is prohibited. At intersections, additional signage will be installed to clarify that the curb lane is to be used for right turns and through buses during peak periods.
The project entails repurposing the existing 7-foot parking lane and 5-foot bike lane into a 12-foot part-time bus lane during peak periods. Bicyclists may use the lane during peak periods, but are encouraged to use parallel bike routes along Arizona Street.
On May 28, 2024, the MTC informed Union City that it had approved funding the AlvaradoNiles Road Part-Time Transit Lane Pilot Project, City Project No. 24-21, in the amount of $1,703,025, which includes $1,507,688 of Non-Federal State Transit Assistance (STA) funds and a required local match of $195,337 (approximately 11.47%).
On July 9, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 6328-24, accepting $1,507,688 from the MTC BusAID Grant Program for the Alvarado-Niles Road Part-Time Transit Lane Pilot Project (City Project No. 24-21). At the same meeting, City Council approved the Local Match of $195,337 to be funded with $100,000 of ACTIA Bike & Ped Paths Fund monies and $95,337 of ACTIA Streets & Roads Fund monies from the Alvarado-Niles Multimodal Corridor Study, City Project No. K, as identified in the Five-Year Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Year 2023-2024 to Fiscal Year 2027-2028 (see Attachment 1 for MTC Grant with Local Match Budget Summary).
On November 26, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 6400-24, authorizing the City Manager to execute a Consulting Service Agreement with Kittelson & Associates, Inc., in the amount of $275,611, for the Preliminary Engineering and Final Design for the Alvarado-Niles Road Part Time Transit Lane Pilot Project, City Project No. 24-21, which was funded with $243,988 in MTC BusAID Grant Fund monies, $16,184 in ACTIA Bike & Ped Paths Fund monies and $15,429 of ACTIA Streets and Roads Fund monies.
On July 9, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 6328-24, authorizing the City to sign Supplement No. 4 to the Master Funding Agreement with MTC for the AlvaradoNiles Road Part-Time Transit Lane Pilot Project (City Project No. 24-21).
On June 24, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-086, approving the FY 2025-2026 & FY 2026-2027 Biennial Budget and the Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan for FY 2025-2026 through FY 2029-2030. The Alvarado-Niles Road Part-Time Transit Lane Pilot Project, City Project No. 24-21, is listed as Item No. 27 in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), and the project's funding includes both the ACTIA Streets & Roads Fund and the ACTIA Bike & Ped Paths Fund.
124 of 331
Agenda Item No. 3.11
City Council Staff Report Page 3 of 4 September 22, 2026 The ACTIA funding was set to sunset on July 30, 2026, but the Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC) authorized a one-year extension of the deadline for the remaining ACTIA funding under the Master Programs Funding. On May 12, 2026, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2026-059, authorizing the City to sign the One-Year Master Programs Funding Agreement with Alameda CTC for the remaining 2000 Measure B (ACTIA) Direct Local Distribution Funds, with an estimated balance of $239,000, which must be expended before June 30, 2027.
DISCUSSION
Staff has prioritized re-evaluating the use of the remaining ACTIA funding to maximize benefits to the City. As such, staff is requesting to reprogram ACTIA funds allocated to projects in the FY 2026-2027 Budget and the Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan for FY 2026-2027 through FY 2029-2030 to other projects that will meet the expenditure deadline.
The Alvarado-Niles Road Part-Time Transit Lane Pilot Project, City Project No. 24-21, is no longer able to meet the deadline for use of the remaining ACTIA funds; therefore, staff requests to exchange the remainder of the Local Match Balance of $41,208 from ACTIA Streets & Roads Fund to Measure BB (2014) Fund (the ACTIA Bike & Ped Paths Fund monies for this project have already been expended). If the ACTIA funds remain in the Alvarado-Niles Road Part-Time Transit Lane Pilot Project, they are at severe risk of being lost because the project deadline is not aligned with the funding expenditure deadline outlined in Alameda CTC’s one-year Master Programs Funding extension.
The exchange of funds will require amending the Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan to reflect the funding changes.
FISCAL IMPACT
The remainder of the local match balance of the ACTIA Streets & Roads Fund, in the amount of $41,208, will be transferred from the Alvarado-Niles Road Part Time Transit Lanes Pilot Project, City Project No. 24-21, to the fund balance of ACTIA Streets & Roads Fund (Fund 253) to make it available for near-term construction projects that will meet the deadline for expenditure.
In exchange for the ACTIA funds, $41,208 will be transferred from the Measure BB (2014) Fund and appropriated to the Alvarado-Niles Road Part-Time Transit Lanes Pilot Project, City Project No. 24-21 (Account Number 264-92421-57128).
The Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan for Fiscal Years 2026-2027 to 2029-2030 will be amended to reflect these changes.
There is no impact on the General Fund.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution:
1. Authorizing a budget transfer, in the amount of $41,208, of ACTIA Streets & Roads Fund (Account Number 253-92421-57128) from the Alvarado-Niles Road Part Time Transit Lanes Pilot Project, City Project No. 24-21, to the fund balance of the ACTIA Streets & Roads Fund; and
2. Authorizing a budget transfer, in the amount of $41,208, from the Measure BB (2014) Fund, and appropriating the monies to the Alvarado-Niles Road Part Time Transit Lanes Pilot Project, City Project No. 24-21 (Account Number 264-92421- 57128); and
3. Amending the Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan for Fiscal Years 2026-2027 to 2029-2030, to reflect these changes.

Alameda County Transportation Commission
Bicycle/Pedestrian Program
Implementation Guidelines
Section 1. Purpose
A. To delineate the eligible uses of Bicycle and Pedestrian Program Funds authorized under Alameda County Transportation Commission Master Program Funding Agreements, these implementation guidelines have been developed to specify the requirements that local jurisdictions must follow in their use of Measure B, Measure BB and Vehicle Registration Fee Direct Local Distribution and discretionary funds. These guidelines are incorporated by reference in the Master Program Funding Agreements. All other terms and conditions for programs are contained in the agreements themselves.
The intent of the implementation guidelines is to:
1. Provide guidance on Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety funds eligible uses and expenditures.
2. Define the terms in the Master Program Funding Agreements.
3. Guide Bicycle and Pedestrian Program implementation.
Section 2. Authority
A. These Implementation Guidelines have been adopted by the Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC) and set forth eligible uses and expenditures for the Bicycle and Pedestrian Program funds. Alameda CTC may update these guidelines on an as-needed basis and will do so with involvement of its technical and community advisory committees (as applicable).
Exceptions to these guidelines must be requested in writing and be approved by Alameda CTC.
Section 3. Background
A. Alameda CTC developed Implementation guidelines for the Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Funds to clarify eligible fund uses and expenditures in association Master Programs Funding Agreements for the November 2000 voter-approved Measure B Direct Local Distribution funds (formally known as “passthrough funds”). In 2012, the Master Programs Funding Agreements were updated to include the voter approved Measure F - Vehicle Registration Fee (VRF) program. In November 2014, voters approved the 2014 Transportation Expenditure Plan, Measure BB, and new Master Programs Funding Agreements were subsequently developed to incorporate Measure BB funds.
Section 4. Definition of Terms
A. Alameda CTC: The Alameda County Transportation Commission is a Joint Powers Authority created by the merger of the Alameda County Congestion Management Agency, which performed long-range planning and funding for countywide transportation projects and programs, and the Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority, which administered the voter approved half-cent transportation sales taxes in Alameda County (the 1986 and 2000 approved Measure B sales tax programs) B. Capital project: A bicycle and pedestrian capital investment that typically requires the following phases:
planning/feasibility, scoping, environmental clearance, design, right-of-way, construction, and completion.
C. Complete Street: A transportation facility that is planned, designed, operated, and maintained to provide safe mobility for all users, including bicyclists, pedestrians, transit vehicles, truckers, and motorists, appropriate to the function and context of the facility. Complete street concepts apply to rural, suburban, and urban areas (Caltrans definition).
D. Complete Streets Act of 2008: The California Complete Streets Act (Assembly Bill 1358) was signed into law in September 2008. It requires that local jurisdictions modify their general plans as follows:

Alameda CTC Paratransit Program Implementation Guidelines Paratransit - 1
Alameda County Transportation Commission
Paratransit Program
Implementation Guidelines
Section 1. Purpose
A. To delineate eligible uses of Paratransit funds authorized under Alameda County Transportation Commission Master Programs Funding Agreements, these implementation guidelines have been developed to specify the requirements that local jurisdictions must follow in their use of Measure B and Measure BB Direct Local Distributions funds and discretionary funds. These guidelines are incorporated by reference in the Master Programs Funding Agreements. All other terms and conditions for programs are contained in the agreements themselves. The intent of the implementation guidelines is to:
1. Provide guidance on Paratransit funds eligible uses and expenditures.
2. Define the terms in the Master Programs Funding Agreements.
3. Guide Paratransit Program implementation.
Section 2. Authority
A. These Implementation Guidelines have been adopted by the Alameda County Transportation Commission and set forth eligible uses and expenditures for Paratransit funds. Alameda CTC may update these guidelines on an as-needed basis and will do so with involvement of its technical and community advisory committees (as applicable). Exceptions to these guidelines must be requested in writing and be approved by the Alameda CTC Commission.
Section 3. Background
A. Alameda CTC developed Implementation Guidelines for the Paratransit funds to clarify eligible fund uses and expenditures in association Master Programs Funding Agreements for the November 2000 voter-approved Measure B Direct Local Distribution (formally known as “pass-through funds”). In November 2014, voters approved the 2014 Transportation Expenditure Plan, Measure BB, and new Master Programs Funding Agreements were subsequently developed to incorporate Measure BB funds. The expenditure plans allocates 10.45 percent of Measure B funds and 10 percent of Measure BB funds for special transportation for seniors and people with disabilities (paratransit) programs and projects.
Section 4. Definition of Terms
A. Alameda CTC: The Alameda County Transportation Commission is a Joint Powers Authority created by the merger of the Alameda County Congestion Management Agency, which performed long-range planning and funding for countywide transportation projects and programs, and the Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority, which administered the voter-approved, half-cent transportation sales taxes in Alameda County (the Measure B sales tax programs approved in 1986 and 2000).
B. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): According to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, originally passed in 1990 and revised in 2008, a law that prohibits private employers, state and local governments, employment agencies and labor unions from discriminating against qualified individuals with disabilities in job application procedures, hiring, firing, advancement, compensation, job training, and other terms, conditions, and privileges of employment. The ADA also requires reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities and has resulted in the removal of many barriers to transportation and in better access for seniors and people with disabilities.

Alameda CTC Paratransit Program Implementation Guidelines Paratransit - 4
census-based funding formula that is developed by PAPCO and approved by the Alameda CTC Commission.
2) A portion of the funds as defined in the Master Programs Funding Agreement are DLD funds distributed to Alameda County’s primary mandated ADA service provider, East Bay Paratransit Consortium. b. Eligible Uses: Paratransit DLD funds may be used for capital projects, programs, maintenance, or operations that directly improve paratransit services. Eligible uses for these funds include services as defined in Attachment A, as well as, but not limited to:
1) Direct staff and consultant costs to develop, plan, implement, manage, operate and maintain paratransit projects and programs
2) Direct staff and consultant costs to provide customer service and outreach for paratransit projects and programs
3) Direct staff and consultant costs that support eligible activities, including the end-of-year compliance report
4) Direct staff training costs directly related to implementation of projects or programs implemented with the Paratransit Funds
c. Ineligible Uses: The following is a list of ineligible uses of Paratransit DLD funds:
1) Non-transportation projects or services such as fees charged to capital construction projects for services or amenities not related to transportation 2) Capital projects, programs, maintenance, or operations that do not directly improve paratransit services
3) Projects or programs that exclusively serve city/county staff 4) Indirect costs, unless the RECIPIENT submits an independently audited/approved Indirect Cost Allocation Plan.
2. Paratransit Discretionary Grant Program Funds
a. The Measure BB Expenditure Plan dedicates 1.0 percent of the funds for paratransit coordination and services to meet the needs of seniors and people with disabilities.
Alameda CTC will administer a Measure BB Paratransit discretionary grant program. b. The Alameda CTC adopt Grant Program Guidelines through its programming and allocation processes.to guide the grant allocations.
c. Gap funds provide Alameda County with the opportunity to be innovative and explore alternative service delivery mechanisms in the face of a senior and disability population expected to grow substantially over the next 30 years. The population of people likely to need paratransit service is expected to outpace the growth in sales tax revenues that fund paratransit programs in Alameda County, including city-based programs and ADA-mandated services.
d. Gap funds provide an opportunity to minimize the differences in service experienced by consumers based on their geographic location.

Implementation Guidelines and Performance Measures – Special Transportation for Seniors and People with Disabilities (Paratransit) Program
Implementation Guidelines
These guidelines lay out the service types that are eligible to be funded with Alameda County Measure B (2000) reserves and Measure BB (2014) revenues under the Special Transportation for Seniors and People with Disabilities (Paratransit) Program. All programs funded partially or in their entirety through these sources, including American with Disabilities Act (ADA)- mandated paratransit services, city programs and discretionary grant funded projects, must abide by the following requirements for each type of paratransit service. While the collection of Measure B has sunset, remaining funds continue to be utilized.
Fund recipients are able to select which of these service types are most appropriate for their community to meet the needs of older adults and people with disabilities. Overall, all programs should be designed to enhance quality of life for older adults and people with disabilities by offering accessible, affordable and convenient transportation options to reach major medical facilities, grocery stores and other important travel destinations to meet life needs. Although some programs may need to prioritize based on trip purpose due to capacity constraints, ideally, the importance of a trip should be determined by the consumer.
Performance Measures
The Alameda CTC collects performance data from all programs funded with Alameda County Measure B (2000) reserves and Measure BB (2014) revenues. All programs funded partially or in their entirety through these sources must at a minimum report annually through the Annual Compliance Report for Direct Local Distribution (DLD) funding on the performance measures identified within the Implementation Guidelines for each DLD program.
The performance measures for the Measure B and Measure BB Direct Local Distribution (DLD) funding distributed through the Special Transportation for Seniors and People with Disabilities (Paratransit) Program, which funds ADA-mandated paratransit services, city paratransit programs and discretionary grant funded projects, are identified below.

Services may be subsidized in different ways including vouchers, scrip, reimbursement, a discount code on an app, call center or website payment, etc.
Transportation Network Companies (e.g. Lyft, Uber) using ride-hailing apps and web-based platforms provide curb-to-curb service that can be scheduled on a same-day basis. TNCs charge riders on a distance/time basis depending on calculations determined by the app. Subsidy programs allow eligible consumers to use TNCs at a reduced fare by reimbursing consumers a percentage of the fare, providing a coupon code, or by providing some initial fare payment, which can be used to cover a portion of the fare. These programs are intended for situations Docusign Envelope ID: 29BDF0A0-AB65-882B-8071-4F5CEE1CF740 165 of 331

when consumers cannot make their trip on a pre-scheduled basis. TNC trip services can incorporate a concierge service.
Taxis also provide curb-to-curb service that can be scheduled on a same-day basis. Taxis charge riders on a distance/time basis using a meter. Taxi subsidy programs offer a reduced fare by reimbursing consumers a percentage of the fare or by providing some fare medium, e.g. scrip or vouchers, which can be used to cover a portion of the fare.
The availability of accessible vehicles varies by geographical area and provider, but programs should expand availability of accessible vehicles where possible in order to fulfill requests for same-day accessible trips.
Programs may incorporate a parallel Specialized Accessible Van Service to meet the need for accessible trips.
Eligible
Population
Eligible Populations include:
1. People 18 and above with disabilities who are unable to use fixed route services. Cities may, at their discretion, also provide services to consumers with disabilities under the age of 18, and
2. Older adults 70 years or older without proof of a disability.
Program sponsors may use either ADA eligibility, as established by ADA-mandated providers (incl. East Bay Paratransit, LAVTA, Union City Transit) or the Alameda County City Paratransit Services Medical Statement Form, as proof of disability. Program sponsors may, at their discretion, also offer temporary or interim eligibility due to disability.
ADA-mandated providers that are not also city providers (East Bay Paratransit and LAVTA) are not required to provide service to older adults 70 years or older without ADA eligibility.
Time & Days of
Service
Service times should be consistent with transportation provider availability to public consumers.
Fare (Cost to
Customer)
Programs must subsidize at least 50% of the fare within an established reasonable service area (at a minimum the sponsoring city).
Programs can impose a cap on total subsidy per person. This can be accomplished through a maximum subsidy per trip, a limit on the Docusign Envelope ID: 29BDF0A0-AB65-882B-8071-4F5CEE1CF740 166 of 331

number of vouchers/scrip (or other fare medium) per person, and/or a total monetary subsidy per person per month/quarter/year.
Other New same-day transportation programs that utilize TNCs are subject to review by Alameda CTC staff prior to implementation.
Programs may also use funding to provide incentives to drivers and/or transportation providers to ensure reliable service. Incentives are often utilized to promote accessible service. Planned expenditures on incentives are subject to review by Alameda CTC staff prior to implementation.
Generally, same-day transportation options have been inconsistent in their ability to offer WAV (Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle) service.
These include taxis and programs offered via privately-owned vehicles (e.g. TNCs and volunteer driver programs). Programs should strive to provide an equitable suite of programs, balancing offering accessible alternatives (e.g. using an agency van to supplement a TNC program), searching for and developing new wheelchair accessible options, and meeting the needs of their community. New and/or separate WAV services should be included under Specialized Accessible Van Service.

Service
Description
Specialized accessible van service provides accessible, origin-todestination trips on a pre-scheduled or same-day basis. This service category should complement core services in communities where critical needs for accessible or other specialized trips are not being adequately met by the existing primary services. Examples of unmet needs are a taxi or TNC program without accessible vehicles, medical trips for riders with dementia unable to safely take an ADA-mandated trip, or trips outside of the ADA-mandated service area. When possible, a priority for this service should be fulfilling requests for WAV (Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle) trips as defined under the CPUC TNC Access for All (AFA)1 Program Funding.
Services may be subsidized in different ways as agreed upon by the program sponsor and transportation provider, including vouchers, scrip, 1 TNC Access for All Program https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/tncaccess/ Docusign Envelope ID: 29BDF0A0-AB65-882B-8071-4F5CEE1CF740 168 of 331

Service
Description
Volunteer driver services are pre-scheduled, door-through-door services that are typically not accessible. These programs rely on volunteers to drive eligible consumers for critical trip needs, such as medical trips. Programs may use staff to complete intake or fill gaps in service provision. This service meets a key mobility gap by serving more vulnerable populations and should complement existing primary services (i.e. ADA-mandated, Specialized Accessible Van, or SameDay).
Volunteer driver programs may also have an escort component where volunteers accompany consumers on any service eligible for Alameda CTC funding, when they are unable to travel in a private vehicle.

Mobility Management and/or Travel Training Program Guidelines Service
Description
Mobility management services cover a wide range of activities, such as travel training, coordinated services, trip planning, and brokerage. Mobility management activities often include education and outreach to individuals and organizations. Individual trip planning can play an important role in ensuring that people use the “best” service for them for each trip, e.g. using East Bay Paratransit from Fremont to Berkeley for an event, using a TNC (e.g. Lyft, Uber) or taxi voucher for a same-day urgent doctor visit, and scheduling with a group trip service to go grocery shopping. Service types can include information and referral, service linkage, service coordination, or advocacy.
Travel training is short-term, one-on-one or group-based intensive instruction designed to teach people with disabilities and older adults to travel safely and independently on fixed-route public transportation in their community.3
Travel orientation, also known as transit orientation, is less formal and involved than traditional travel training and explains transportation systems by sharing information about trip planning, schedules, maps, fare systems, mobility devices, new mobility services, and benefits and services. It may be conducted in a group or one-on-one.4 This service description should not be considered all-inclusive. Programs are welcome to contact Alameda CTC staff to discuss other mobility management activities if they need guidance.

Agenda Item No. 3.12
DATE: September 22, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joan Malloy, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Approving the Award of a Construction Contract to Mark Lee and Yong Kay, Inc., DBA Bay Construction Company, in the Amount of $322,130, Approving a Total Construction Budget in the Amount of $370,450, and Authorizing a Budget Transfer, in the Amount of $470,450, from Quarry Lakes Parkway, City Project No. 18-04, to the Block 6 Interim Transit Facility Project, City Project No. 26-19
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the award of a construction contract to Mark Lee and Yong Kay, Inc., DBA Bay Construction Company (“Bay Construction”), in the amount of $322,130, approving a total construction budget, including contingency of 15% of the contract, in the amount of $370,450, and authorizing a budget transfer, in the amount of $470,450, from Quarry Lakes Parkway, City Project No. 18-04, to the Block 6 Interim Transit Facility Project, City Project No. 26-19.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This agenda item is aligned with the following City Council priority:
Goal D: Environmental Sustainability and Infrastructure Strategy 2: Implement the City’s capital improvement plan.
BACKGROUND
The Union City Transit Facility currently operates out of the Union City Corporation Yard (“Corp Yard”) located on 7th Street and Chesapeake Drive. The transit facility provides bus parking for both Union City Transit and Dumbarton Express, as well as parking for Union City Transit demand-response vehicles, such as the FLEA Microtransit vans. It also provides parking for transit staff and office space for transit operations.
On November 4, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-148, authorizing the City Manager to execute the Second Amendment to the Agreement with Gillig, LLC, reducing the number of battery-electric thirty-five-foot (35’) heavy-duty fixed-route transit 182 of 331
Agenda Item No. 3.12
City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 4 September 22, 2026 buses (BEBs) to be purchased from fourteen (14) to eight (8). The eight (8) BEBs were received at the end of December 2025.
To support charging the new BEB fleet, the City needs to modify the Corporation Yard by installing dedicated electric transit chargers at each bus stall and the associated Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) to maintain a reliable connection between the Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) source and the BEBs. An interim transit facility will be required during construction to maintain the Corp Yard's operational efficiency.
Additionally, Phase 1 of the Union City Quarry Lakes Parkway Project requires reconstruction of the southern wall of the Corp Yard to realign 7th St and Line M Channel, which also requires an interim transit facility during construction.
Block 6 Parking Lot (“Block 6”), located at 11th Street and Decoto Road behind the Union City BART Station, is a City-owned lot identified as a suitable temporary location to serve as an interim Transit Facility during the construction of the aforementioned projects.
The Block 6 Interim Transit Facility Project seeks to install modifications to the existing Block 6 site, including updated striping, fencing, and security features to make it suitable to serve as an interim transit facility during the construction of the Quarry Lakes Parkway – Phase 1 Project and the BEB Electrification Project.
On February 10, 2026, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2026-017, accepting $16,728,000 from the Regional Measure 3 (RM 3) Dumbarton Corridor Improvements Program of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, increasing the revenue projections in the Capital Project Grants Fund by $16,728,000 and appropriating the $16,728,000 to the Quarry Lakes Parkway (QLP) Project, City Project No. 18-04. The approved allocation of RM 3 Dumbarton Corridor Improvement Project for the QLP Project includes one million dollars ($1,000,000) for the construction of an interim bus facility.
On August 4, 2026, the City of Union City released a Notice Inviting Bids for the Block 6 Interim Transit Facility Project, City Project No. 26-19 (Attachment 1).
On August 31, 2026, the City received two bids (see Exhibit A), with the lowest responsive and responsible bid in the amount of $322,130, submitted by Mark Lee and Yong Kay, Inc., DBA Bay Construction Company, of Oakland, California.
DISCUSSION
The low bid is approximately 6% above the engineer’s estimate of $305,000. Although the City has no prior experience with Mark Lee and Yong Kay, Inc., DBA Bay Construction Co., the reference checks were satisfactory.
The total construction budget of $370,450 includes the construction contract amount of $322,130 and a construction contingency of $48,320, which is approximately 15% of the contract amount.
In addition to the construction budget, other services and activities are necessary to support implementation of the project during the construction phase. These include 183 of 331
Agenda Item No. 3.12
City Council Staff Report Page 3 of 4 September 22, 2026 construction management and inspection services in the amount of $74,710 and relocation of the transit operations trailer from the Corporation Yard to the Block 6 parking lot in the amount of $25,290. These services will be procured separately in accordance with applicable City procurement requirements and other applicable laws.
Including the construction budget and these additional construction-phase costs, the total project budget is $470,450.
Construction of this project is anticipated to begin in October 2026 and be completed by the end of December 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total project budget for Block 6 Interim Transit Facility Project, City Project No. 26- 19, in the amount of $470,450, will be funded with monies received from the Regional Measure 3 Dumbarton Corridor Improvements Program of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, of which one-million dollars ($1,000,000) was allocated towards the interim transit facility construction.
The amount of $470,450 will be transferred from the Quarry Lakes Parkway (Account Number 410-91804-57128) to the Block 6 Interim Transit Facility Project (Account Number 410-92619-57128).
There is no impact on the General Fund.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution:
1. Awarding a construction contract to Mark Lee and Yong Kay, Inc., DBA Bay Construction Co., in the amount of $322,130, for the construction of the Block 6 Interim Transit Facility Project, City Project No. 26-19; and
2. Approving a total construction budget, in the amount of $370,450, for the construction contract and contingency; and
3. Authorizing a budget transfer of $470,450 from the Quarry Lakes Parkway (Account Number 410-91804-57128) to the Block 6 Interim Transit Facility Project (Account Number 410-92619-57128).
