MEETING DATE: Tuesday, January 14, 2025
TO: City Council
FROM: PUBLIC WORKS & UTILITIES DIRECTOR LINDBERG

PRINCIPAL ENGINEER THERIOT
SUBJECT: APPROVE CO-OP AGREEMENT AMENDMENT NO. 1 WITH

CALTRANS FOR PS&E PREPARATION IN THE AMOUNT OF
$321,000 AND APPROPRIATE FUNDS FROM EAST HIGHWAY 1

AREA IMPACT FEE FUND
STATEMENT OF ISSUES:

The project development of improved pedestrian and bicycle facilities on Harkins Slough Road at Highway 1 required a cooperative agreement with Caltrans. Approval of Amendment No. 1 to this agreement will fund the completion of the plans, specifications, and estimate.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving Amendment No. 1 to the Cooperative Agreement in the amount of $321,000 and increase the total agreement amount to $3,468,000 and appropriate $321,000 from the East Highway 1 Area Impact Fee Fund.

BACKGROUND:

At its September 28, 2021, meeting, the Watsonville City Council approved Resolution 257-21 (CM) directing staff to execute a Cooperative Agreement with Caltrans for the preparation of plans, specifications, and construction cost estimate of a new pedestrian bridge and updated bicycle facilities at the Harkins Slough Road crossing of State Highway 1. The Cooperative Agreement was for an amount not to exceed $3,147,000.

The Caltrans design team has prepared plans for a bridge widening to accommodate the additional pedestrian and bicycle facilities. Due to unforeseen site conditions, there have been changes during the design of the bridge widening project. The additional funds in the Cooperative Agreement will allow the plans and specifications to be completed. The City will utilize their plans and specifications to bid and construct the project.

DISCUSSION:

The design team explored more design iterations than planned, due to existing utility conflicts and therefore require additional funds to complete the plans and specifications.

Additionally, there has been some additional involvement by the District's Environmental and Landscape Architectural teams to coordinate the Tree Removal required for the utility relocation, review of the Coastal Development Permit Exemption, and re-validate the Environmental document with consideration of the Final Plans.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

The project is consistent with the Strategic Plan
2-Infrastructure & Environment
5-Public Safety
FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The Cooperative Agreement Amendment No. 1 will cost $321,000. The following appropriation shall fund this increase:

From FUND To Account Amount

Fees
0344-944-7837-

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Adopt a resolution approving a First Amendment to the contract with MNS Engineers, Inc. for the Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) Electrical System Hazard Mitigation Improvements Project design services through construction, amending the scope of work and increasing the contract compensation in the amount of $175,534 for revised total contract amount not to exceed $529,879, extending the contract term of completion to December 31, 2027; and authorizing City Manager to execute said First Amendment.

BACKGROUND:

On March 8, 2022, the Council adopted Resolution No. 40-22 (CM), awarding a contract to MNS Engineers, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $354,345 for the electrical engineering design of the Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) Electrical System Hazard Mitigation Improvements Project, No. WW-22-14797. The project has begun construction, requiring added design scope and services through construction.

DISCUSSION:

Over the course of design, additional design scope was required to deliver a complete bid package including updated front end contract specifications and added design costs due to the project requiring a rebid and extended bid and award period. Additional design services including field visits by the structural engineer on-site during key points in the construction phase of the project were determined to be required, as well as extending the contract completion date to cover the full duration of the project.

MNS Engineers, Inc. provided an amended scope of services and cost proposal for this added scope of work, increasing the contract amount by $175,534, for a revised total contract amount not to exceed $529,879. The project's rebid has also required the

C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\18435955699\18435955699,,,Report - NOAA Grant Acceptance.docx Agenda Report
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, January 14, 2025
TO: City Council
FROM: PUBLIC WORKS & UTILITIES DIRECTOR LINDBERG

ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECTS MANAGER VU-DUC
SUBJECT: ACCEPTANCE OF $250,000 NOAA GRANT SUB-AWARD FOR

CLIMATE RESILIENCE OF MONTEREY BAY COASTAL

COMMUNITIES
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution accepting $250,000 from the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Climate Resilience Regional Challenge grant program, as awarded through the California Marine Sanctuary Foundation (CMSF), appropriate such funds to the Special Grants Fund [0260], and authorize the City Manager to execute all agreements and any amendments necessary.

BACKGROUND:

On July 26, 2024, NOAA announced $575 million for 19 projects recommended for funding through the Climate Resilience Regional Challenge. Of these, only one California proposal was successful: a $71,100,000 grant awarded to the CMSF to address the Monterey Bay Area’s highest priority climate risks, flooding, and wildfires, while growing regional collaborative capacity and workforce development to increase climate resilience in these communities. This grant set out $250,000 to develop a funding roadmap to coordinate and deliver adaptation projects through the Monterey Bay Regional Climate Project Working Group (RCPWG), comprised of the Counties of Santa Cruz, Monterey, and San Benito, as well as the Cities of Santa Cruz and Watsonville. The City of Watsonville, as chairing member of the RCPWG at the time of the grant application, is the recipient of the $250,000 task on behalf of the RCPWG.

DISCUSSION:

The NOAA grant was awarded to CMSF to fund a four-pronged strategy to grow regional resilience to climate change:

1. Regional Collaboration & Capacity Building

2. Workforce Development

3. Flood Risk Reduction and

4. Wildfire Risk Reduction.

1/9/2025 6:44:02 PM
C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\18435955699\18435955699,,,Report - NOAA Grant Acceptance.docx CMSF leads this regional effort with the participation of 28 collaborators from local, regional, and state agencies and resource districts, land trusts, experts in natural resource restoration, monitoring, and forest management, academic institutions, foundations with expertise in financial management, and non-profits with expertise in community and Tribal engagement.

In addition to substantial funding for community-based capacity building efforts (item 1 above), the $250,000 allocated to the City of Watsonville on behalf of the RCPWG invests in significant climate coordination across the region through its local government agencies. The mission of the RCPWG is to develop, prioritize, secure funding for, and implement regionally beneficial climate projects.

Many jurisdictions in the region have completed studies, adopted policies and formalized plans identifying climate adaptation hazards and mitigation measures. Yet implementation and funding for those measures remains piecemeal, unable to sustain the pace needed to build transformative climate resilience in the region. This funding will create a short-term, streamlined, regional roadmap to identify the long-term funding needed to take proposed climate adaptation measures from planning to implementation.

The roadmap complements and supports other tasks within the larger project and will align with policies adopted by the individual RCPWG member jurisdictions.

CEQA Compliance: The proposed planning project will review CEQA requirements and compliance as the plan is developed.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

This project supports the following Strategic Plan areas:
2-Infrastructure & Environment
4-Fiscal Health
7-Efficient and Well-performing Government
FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The proposed project is 100% grant funded. All funds will be appropriated to the [0260] Special Grants Fund.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION:

No reasonable alternatives are known at this time.

Required Use of American Iron, Steel, Manufactured Products, and Construction Materials
Buy America Preference. Recipients of an award of Federal financial assistance from the Department of Commerce (Department) for a program for infrastructure are hereby notified that none of the funds provided under this award may be used for an infrastructure project unless:

1. all iron and steel used in the project are produced in the United States – this means all manufacturing processes, from the initial melting stage through the application of coatings, occurred in the United States;

2. all manufactured products used in the project are produced in the United States – this means the manufactured product was manufactured in the United States; and the cost of the components of the manufactured product that are mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States is greater than 55 percent of the total cost of all components of the manufactured product, unless another standard that meets or exceeds this standard has been established under applicable law or regulation for determining the minimum amount of domestic content of the manufactured product; and

3. all construction materials are manufactured in the United States – this means that all manufacturing processes for the construction material occurred in the United States. The construction materials standards are listed below.

Incorporation into an infrastructure project. The Buy America Preference only applies to articles, materials, and supplies that are consumed in, incorporated into, or affixed to an infrastructure project. As such, it does not apply to tools, equipment, and supplies, such as temporary scaffolding, brought to the construction site and removed at or before the completion of the infrastructure project. Nor does a Buy America Preference apply to equipment and furnishings, such as movable chairs, desks, and portable computer equipment, that are used at or within the finished infrastructure project but are not an integral part of the structure or permanently affixed to the infrastructure project.

Categorization of articles, materials, and supplies. An article, material, or supply should only be classified into one of the following categories: (i) Iron or steel products; (ii) Manufactured products; (iii) Construction materials; or (iv) Section 70917(c) materials. An article, material, or supply should not be considered to fall into multiple categories. In some cases, an article, material, or supply may not fall under any of the categories listed in this paragraph. The Attachment 2

Page 18 of 57 ends
Page 5 of 29 ends

classification of an article, material, or supply as falling into one of the categories listed in this paragraph must be made based on its status at the time it is brought to the work site for incorporation into an infrastructure project. In general, the work site is the location of the infrastructure project at which the iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials will be incorporated.

Application of the Buy America Preference by category. An article, material, or supply incorporated into an infrastructure project must meet the Buy America Preference for only the single category in which it is classified.

Determining the cost of components for manufactured products. In determining whether the cost of components for manufactured products is greater than 55 percent of the total cost of all components, use the following instructions:
a. For components purchased by the manufacturer, the acquisition cost, including transportation costs to the place of incorporation into the manufactured product (whether or not such costs are paid to a domestic firm), and any applicable duty (whether or not a dutyfree entry certificate is issued); or b. For components manufactured by the manufacturer, all costs associated with the manufacture of the component, including transportation costs as described in paragraph (a), plus allocable overhead costs, but excluding profit. Cost of components does not include any costs associated with the manufacture of the manufactured product.

Construction material standards. The Buy America Preference applies to the following construction materials incorporated into infrastructure projects. Each construction material is followed by a standard for the material to be considered “produced in the United States.” Except as specifically provided, only a single standard should be applied to a single construction material.

1. Non-ferrous metals. All manufacturing processes, from initial smelting or melting through final shaping, coating, and assembly, occurred in the United States.

2. Plastic and polymer-based products. All manufacturing processes, from initial combination of constituent plastic or polymer-based inputs, or, where applicable, constituent composite materials, until the item is in its final form, occurred in the United States.

3. Glass. All manufacturing processes, from initial batching and melting of raw materials through annealing, cooling, and cutting, occurred in the United States.

4. Fiber optic cable (including drop cable). All manufacturing processes, from the initial ribboning (if applicable), through buffering, fiber stranding and jacketing, occurred in the United States. All manufacturing processes also include the standards for glass and optical fiber, but not for non-ferrous metals, plastic and polymer-based products, or any others.

5. Optical fiber. All manufacturing processes, from the initial preform fabrication stage through the completion of the draw, occurred in the United States.

6. Lumber. All manufacturing processes, from initial debarking through treatment and planing, occurred in the United States.

7. Drywall. All manufacturing processes, from initial blending of mined or synthetic gypsum plaster and additives through cutting and drying of sandwiched panels, occurred in the United States.

8. Engineered wood. All manufacturing processes from the initial combination of constituent materials until the wood product is in its final form, occurred in the United States.

Waivers
When necessary, recipients may apply for, and the Department may grant, a waiver from these requirements.

To help federal agencies and recipients meet BABA requirements, the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST), Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) National Network™ provides a service to connect stakeholders, including recipients, to U.S. manufacturers that have relevant production capabilities and capacities to help fulfill current market and supply chain needs. Recipients considering a BABA nonavailability waiver are strongly encouraged to contact the NIST/MEP for assistance with supplier scouting services prior to seeking a BABA nonavailability waiver. Further information on the NIST/MEP supplier scouting services is available at: https://nist.gov/mep/supply-chain/supplier-scouting.

When the Department has made a determination that one of the following exceptions applies, the awarding official may waive the application of the Buy America Preference in any case in which the Department determines that:
applying the Buy America Preference would be inconsistent with the public interest (public interest waiver);
the types of iron, steel, manufactured products, or construction materials are not produced in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available quantities or of a satisfactory quality (nonavailability waiver); or
the inclusion of iron, steel, manufactured products, or construction materials produced in the United States will increase the cost of the overall project by more than 25 percent (unreasonable cost waiver).

A request to waive the application of the Buy America Preference must be in writing. The Department will provide instructions on the format, contents, and supporting materials required for any waiver request. Waiver requests are subject to public comment periods of no less than 15 days and must be reviewed by the Made in America Office.

There may be instances where an award qualifies, in whole or in part, for an existing waiver described on the Department’s Build America, Buy America website found at https://www.commerce.gov/oam/build-america-buy-america.

Definitions
“Buy America Preference” means the “domestic content procurement preference” set forth in section 70914 of the Build America, Buy America Act, which requires the head of each Federal agency to ensure that none of the funds made available for a Federal award for an infrastructure project may be obligated unless all of the iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials incorporated into the project are produced in the United States. “Construction materials” means articles, materials, or supplies that consist of only one of the items listed in paragraph (1) of this definition, except as provided in paragraph (2) of this definition. To the extent one of the items listed in paragraph (1) contains as inputs other items listed in paragraph (1), it is nonetheless a construction material.

1. The listed items are:
i. Non-ferrous metals;
ii. Plastic and polymer-based products (including polyvinylchloride, composite building materials, and polymers used in fiber optic cables);
Attachment 2

Page 20 of 57 ends
Page 7 of 29 ends

iii. Glass (including optic glass);
iv. Fiber optic cable (including drop cable);
v. Optical fiber;
vi. Lumber;
vii. Engineered wood; and
vii. Drywall.

2. Minor additions of articles, materials, supplies, or binding agents to a construction material do not change the categorization of the construction material. “Infrastructure” means public infrastructure projects in the United States, which includes, at a minimum, the structures, facilities, and equipment for roads, highways, and bridges; public transportation; dams, ports, harbors, and other maritime facilities; intercity passenger and freight railroads; freight and intermodal facilities; airports; water systems, including drinking water and wastewater systems; electrical transmission facilities and systems; utilities; broadband infrastructure; and buildings and real property; and structures, facilities, and equipment that generate, transport, and distribute energy including electric vehicle (EV) charging.
“Infrastructure project” means any activity related to the construction, alteration, maintenance, or repair of infrastructure in the United States regardless of whether infrastructure is the primary purpose of the project. See also paragraphs (c) and (d) of 2 CFR 184.4.
“Iron or steel products” means articles, materials, or supplies that consist wholly or predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both. “Manufactured products” means:

1. Articles, materials, or supplies that have been:
i. Processed into a specific form and shape; or
ii. Combined with other articles, materials, or supplies to create a product with different properties than the individual articles, materials, or supplies.

2. If an item is classified as an iron or steel product, a construction material, or a Section 70917(c) material under 2 CFR 184.4(e) and the definitions set forth in 2 CFR 184.3, then it is not a manufactured product. However, an article, material, or supply classified as a manufactured product under 2 CFR 184.4(e) and paragraph (1) of this definition may include components that are construction materials, iron or steel products, or Section 70917(c) materials.
“Predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both” means that the cost of the iron and steel content exceeds 50 percent of the total cost of all its components. The cost of iron and steel is the cost of the iron or steel mill products (such as bar, billet, slab, wire, plate, or sheet), castings, or forgings utilized in the manufacture of the product and a good faith estimate of the cost of iron or steel components.
“Section 70917(c) materials” means cement and cementitious materials; aggregates such as stone, sand, or gravel; or aggregate binding agents or additives. See Section 70917(c) of the Build America, Buy America Act.

Page 24 of 57 ends
Page 11 of 29 ends

National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Requirements for Change of Scope: Under Department of Commerce Standard Terms and Conditions G.04.a., the Recipient isrequired to identify to NOAA any impact the award will have on the quality of the human environment, and assist NOAA in complying with NEPA and associated environmental laws and policies. For any tasks or sub-tasks with a Special Award Condition attached requiring further NOAA Office for Coastal Management review prior to full approval, the Office for Coastal Management will review these tasks to determine the appropriate level of National Environmental Policy Act analysis, and if additional information is necessary.

If the scope of an award amendment has changed from the original grant scope (e.g., funding is being awarded for additional construction not originally considered), then NOAAwill consider if the change implicates the National Environmental Policy Act even if it was considered in the original award of the grant. A Categorical Exclusion, Environmental Assessment, or Environmental Impact Statement may be prepared for grant amendments, depending on scope of the amendment and what type of analysis is appropriate. For additional grant cycle steps, such as the release of funds, cost extensions, and other administrative steps that do not change the scope of the original grant award where NEPA was conducted, a NEPA review will not need to be conducted again.

NOAA may require additional information to fulfill post award NEPA and environmental compliance review requirements. If NOAA determines that an environmental assessment is required, applicants may also be required to assist in drafting the assessment.

Applicants may also be required to cooperate with NOAA in identifying and implementing feasible measures to reduce or avoid any identified adverse environmental impacts of their proposal.

Supplemental Reporting Guidance
