TASK 4: ENGINEERING STUDIES
Task 4.1: Surveys & Mapping
KSN will assist HDR with assembling existing mapping data sets into a comprehensive base map for the PA/ED phase of the project. Services will include reviewing and compiling existing mapping that has been prepared by others and provided to KSN; assembly of available parcel data records to assist with determining potential right-of- way acquisition needs; and limited field surveys to verify existing information.

Optional services tasks are presented for consideration to assist with advancing design-level mapping that may be beneficial to the overall project schedule beyond PA/ED. Optional tasks include Task 4.14) acquiring aerial-based mapping, and Task 4.15) preparation of preliminary right- of-way mapping. While these tasks are not inclusive of the surveying and mapping needs that may be necessary to deliver the PS&E, advancing these tasks during the PA/ ED phase could assist with identifying early right-of-way needs and/or identifying specific design constraints that could have schedule impacts during the PS&E phase.

Task 4.1.1: Existing Mapping Dataset Compilation
KSN will review existing topographic mapping, prepared by others, and compile the available data into a planning level base map drawing. This task assumes that data will include previously completed aerial surveys, including lidar, that will be provided to the design team by the City. In addition, KSN will research and utilize publicly available mapping sources to assist with the development of background mapping. KSN will utilize the existing data to build surface models and base drawings for planning use during the PA/ED. The approximate project limits are shown in the attached exhibit.

Task 4.1.2: GIS Assessor’s Parcel Data Research & Assembly KSN will gather up-to-date GIS parcel data available from Yolo County. GIS data will be reviewed and compared to the current Assessor’s Parcel Number maps and the topography mapping assembled in Task 4.11 to check for completeness. Data will be provided within the attached project limits exhibit. 858

Task 4.1.3: Field Verification and Design Support Ground Surveys It’s assumed that some level of field surveying will be necessary to confirm and verify mapping that is provided by others for the PA/ED. KSN will provide field surveys to verify mapping coordinate systems and vertical datums, check conform tie-in locations, check vertical clearances at overhead structures, and gather information to support design alternatives. This effort is not intended to be a full design ground survey, but limited to supplementing existing mapping for the PA/ED.

Task 4.1.4: Aerial Topographic Mapping (Optional)
Provided as an optional task, if the existing mapping is not appropriate for design, it may be beneficial to advance design-level aerial mapping during the PA/ED phase. Benefits to the project may include shortening the mapping timeline during PS&E by having the primary base mapping completed during PA/ED. Other benefits include ensuring a consistent mapping coordinate system and vertical datum for the project, without the need to translate mapping between multiple sources, giving a stronger level of confidence for the base mapping. This approach also allows for a full-use PA/ED mapping set during PS&E and reduces or eliminates remapping efforts that could develop as a result of utilizing unsuitable or outdated existing mapping that was provided only for use during the PA/ED.

KSN will set aerial control panels at locations and a frequency adequate to meet National Mapping Accuracy Standards of 1” = 40’ horizontal scale mapping, with 1’ contour intervals. Aerial topography mapping will be prepared at the stated mapping scale and contour interval showing the visible surface features, contours, and spot elevations within the mapping limits. A color aerial photo background image will be prepared covering the project area. The imagery will be adjusted using orthocorrection within the mapping limits, and simple rectification within the ground control limits. The aerial mapping planimetrics will depict information visible in the photography such as curb and sidewalk lines, edge of pavement lines, adjacent building/structure outlines, utility valve boxes, utility vaults, manholes, overhead power poles, posts, fencing, existing access roads, striping, trees, vegetation, and landscaped areas.

Task 4.1.5: Preliminary Right-of-Way Mapping (Optional) Identifying right-of-way constraints is a priority for many projects. While the GIS assessor’s parcel data is valuable information, it may not provide a full picture by itself. Researching and mapping record information such as records of surveys, parcel maps, and right-of- way documents, and then combining that information with assessor’s data, can assist with identifying project acquisition needs early in the project.

KSN recommends a phased approach to boundary and right-of-way mapping that includes this initial research task, followed by a future task, during PS&E, that address findings discovered during the initial research. KSN will perform the initial research of existing recorded maps, documents, and surveys, for those parcels that fall within the footprint of the proposed project limits. Using the record documents from the initial research, KSN will prepare a draft preliminary right-of-way base map for the project site.

Upon completion of this effort, KSN will report our findings, and provide recommendations for completing the boundary and right-of-way tasks to support the project design and construction.

No title reports or chain of title research are included with this task. This initial effort will allow KSN to properly identify additional surveying and mapping services that are required to support the final design 859

and/or the construction of improvements. This will also help to identify if easements or right-of-way acquisition areas are necessary based on the preferred design alternatives.

Task 4.2: Geotechnical
Task 4.2.1: Research & Data Collection
PARIKH will review the readily available geologic and soil literature in the vicinity of the site, including as-built drawings, existing logs of test borings (LOTB), and reports from previous studies.

Task 4.2.2: Permits/USA Clearances
For the planned exploration, PARIKH will obtain drilling permits from Yuba County as required for the borings and the cone penetration tests (CPTs.) The City will obtain right-of-entry permits from private property owners with assistance from the design team. The City encroachment permits, and private property right-of-entry permits will be provided to PARIKH at no charge.

The exploration locations will be marked, and our engineer will contact Underground Service Alert (USA) for utility clearance.

Task 4.2.3: Field Exportation
The limited field exploration program will include borings and seismic CPTs at the bridge supports. No exploration work is planned on the levee prism or in water at this stage. For the bridge structure, two borings to 120 feet and two seismic CPTs to a depth of 120 feet are proposed.

Our field engineer will classify and continuously log subsurface soil conditions encountered in the test boring, and bulk samples will be collected. The borings and CPTs will be backfilled per Yolo County drilling permit requirements. Drilling spoils will be disposed of in accordance with the permit requirements which can be hauled off the site in 55-gallon drums or dispersed in the field if allowed.

Task 4.2.4: Laboratory Testing
Laboratory tests will be performed on representative soil samples, such as moisture/density, unconfined compression, gradation analyses, corrosion tests, plastiCity index, and consolidation tests, as necessary.

Task 4.2.5: Preliminary Engineering Analysis/Evaluation PARIKH will perform engineering analyses to develop preliminary design recommendations for the proposed structure. Alternative structure and foundation systems will be checked for feasibility, as needed, up to 3 structure types.

PARIKH will discuss seismic considerations, such as liquefaction potential and lateral spreading. PARIKH will develop the preliminary ARS curve by using Caltrans’ ARS website.

Task 4.2.6: Prepare Structural Preliminary Geotechnical Report (SPGR):

PARIKH will provide preliminary recommendations for the proposed bridge alternative in a draft Structural Preliminary Geotechnical Report (SPGR). The report format will follow the Caltrans “Foundation Report for Bridges,” geotechnical manual dated January 2021. The logs of test borings 860

(LOTB) will be prepared using the standard Caltrans LOTB sheets following the Caltrans “Soil & Rock Logging, Classification, and Presentation Manual” (2010).

A final SPGR will be prepared after the receipt of the comments on the draft SPGR from the agency.

Task 4.3: Hydrology & Hydraulics
Task 4.3.1: Drainage Impact Study Report
HDR will conduct a preliminary Drainage Impact Study to identify existing hydrology and drainage systems within the Project area. The impact of the Project improvements will be documented, and recommendations for conceptual drainage improvements will be included in a technical report. A planning-level cost estimate for drainage improvements will also be included in the report.

Task 4.3.2: Stormwater Data Report
HDR will prepare a PA/ED-level Stormwater Data Report summarizing the Project impacts on water quality, general project features, and recommended best management practices (BMP) based on Caltrans’ and the City of West Sacramento’s standards.

We will utilize standard checklists. Proposed Project features will meet the criteria set by the Regional Water Quality Control Board as well as West Sacramento’s and Caltrans’ National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permits. Additionally, HDR will address the need for erosion-control measures.

Task 4.4: Traffic Study
The HDR team proposes to undertake a two-pronged approach to the traffic analysis required for the project. The Traffic Operations Analysis Report (TOAR, non-CEQA related) component is intended to inform and assist the design team with the development of the project from conceptual design through 30% design in the PA/ED phase. The VMT analysis component is intended to provide the necessary support to the environmental document for CEQA clearance and will be specifically tailored to address California SB 743-related Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) analysis requirements. The specific traffic study tasks are outlined as follows:

Task 4.4.1: Existing Conditions Operations
HDR will collect and compile recent relevant traffic count data from the City as well as relevant Caltrans traffic data publications (i.e. Yolo 80 Corridor). Current annual average daily traffic (AADT) and truck axle classification data for existing Enterprise corridor segments north and south of the proposed bridge crossing will be reviewed. Background planning documents including, but are not limited to, the City General Plan EIR (2015) Transportation Analysis, key development projects’ EIR (such as Liberty, River Park, Yarborough, and Seaway) transportation studies/models that were completed more recently will be reviewed for relevant traffic count data and forecasts. Existing roadway and intersection lane geometrics and control data will be field verified by HDR staff. Up-to-date 3- to 5-year collision data (either SWITRS or City Police Department data) for existing Enterprise corridor segments will be requested and obtained through City staff and reviewed. HDR will supplement available traffic volume data with new multimodal intersection traffic counts. We will evaluate delays and Levels of Service (LOS) at the following key “study intersections” under weekday AM and PM peak hour periods:
861

• Enterprise Blvd./West Capitol Ave./Interstate-80 Westbound Ramps • Enterprise Blvd./Interstate-80 Eastbound Ramps
• Enterprise Blvd./Lake Road
• Enterprise Blvd./Industrial Blvd.
• Enterprise Blvd./Seaport Blvd.
• Enterprise Blvd./Chanel Drive
• Enterprise Blvd./Southport Pkwy./Promenade St.

In general, operational capaCity analyses will be completed utilizing Highway CapaCity Manual (HCM 2015 or later) methodologies and using Synchro/Simtraffic operations analysis software. The existing conditions’ analysis will establish the baseline that will document existing transportation deficiencies, and assist/inform the proposed Enterprise Blvd. bridge project’s “Purpose and Need”.

Task 4.4.2: Project “Opening Day” Operations
For purposes of this proposal, it is assumed that “the year 2030” will be the “project opening year”. “The year 2030” traffic forecasts will be developed taking into account ambient background traffic volume growth plus traffic generated by approved/pending near-term land development projects (such as the Seaway development area, and Southport area approved subdivision maps) and other programmed transportation improvements that may be reasonably expected to be in place by that time. We will work closely with the City staff in developing and finalizing the year 2030 traffic demand projections.

HDR will evaluate “project opening day” operations for the study intersections under weekday AM and PM peak hour conditions under the preferred (or worst-case impacts creating) project “Build” alternative utilizing the year 2030 traffic projections. We will identify necessary capaCity, operational and/or control improvements along the Enterprise study corridor required with the opening of the project. Truck traffic volume and Traffic Index (TI) estimates for pavement design will be developed.

Task 4.4.3: Year 2050 Traffic Forecasts & No-Build Operations Major transportation improvement projects are typically required to have a 20-year minimum design life for acceptable traffic operations without significant modification subsequent to opening day. For purposes of this proposal, “the year 2050” is regarded as the design year as well as the long-range planning horizon year, and the City General Plan and additional development projects (such as River Park and Yarborough) would be fully built out by the year 2050. We will review these development and market absorption assumptions further with the City staff and finalize a set of reasonable “year 2050” forecasts. The HDR team will use a combination of travel demand models and techniques including, but not limited to, the City General Plan model, SACOG’s SacSim regional travel demand model, and Replica ‘big data’ portals in order to develop both baseline data and future traffic forecasts. “Year 2050” traffic operations will be evaluated for the study intersections under “No Build” conditions.

Task 4.4.4: Year 2050 with Project Operations
The year 2050 operations will be analyzed for the study intersections (under weekday AM and PM peak hour conditions) under “with project” conditions, assuming the preferred (or the worst-case impactcreating) project “build” alternative is constructed. The purpose of this task is to help determine/ascertain that adequate vehicular traffic-carrying capacities are available through year 2050 with the proposed bridge cross-section constructed on project opening day. 862

Task 4.4.5: VMT Analysis
According to the California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA (dated December 2018), a transportation project “which leads to additional vehicle travel on the roadway network, commonly referred to as “induced vehicle travel,” would need to quantify the amount of additional vehicle travel...” Although the Enterprise bridge project includes improvements to accommodate alternate travel modes (such as bikes, pedestrians, public transit, and potentially LRT), the project does represent a net increase in vehicular travel capaCity across the DWSC, and hence needs to be evaluated for “induced vehicular travel” impacts. However, since the project offers an efficient alternate travel route for baseline vehicles (both autos and trucks) that would otherwise use longer routes experiencing higher travel times and congestion, it is anticipated a priori that the project will create a net decreasing impact on Citywide Vehicular Miles Traveled (VMT). To that end, this study will use the OPR Technical Advisory supported “change in total VMT” method to evaluate Citywide VMT difference between “with” and “without project” conditions, under both “project opening year” and “year 2050” scenarios. Note again that a combination of available travel demand models and Replica-based ‘big data’ techniques will be used to assess the anticipated change in VMT associated with the project. While it is anticipated that the project VMT impacts will be actually decreasing (or ‘less than significant’ if marginally increasing), the City may choose to evaluate VMT mitigation strategies independently (outside the scope of this project) should the proposed project be determined to, in fact, cause a ‘significant’ increase in Citywide VMT.

Task 4.4.6: Meetings & Report Deliverables
A detailed draft Traffic Operations Analysis Report (TOAR) summarizing the traffic data and analysis conducted in Tasks 4.4.1 through 4.4.4 will be prepared and submitted for review by PDT staff. HDR will also be available to present/demonstrate the TOAR results and recommendations at PDT meetings and/or public workshops. Up to two (2) traffic-focused PDT meetings are envisioned. As needed, HDR will be available to use traffic micro-simulation software like Simtraffic (or optionally VISSIM) at these meetings. Note that advanced micro-simulation modeling using VISSIM software will be subject to extrawork authorization. The VMT analysis conducted in Task 4.4.6 will be summarized in a stand- alone “VMT analysis memorandum” that will be use to support the project’s environmental document and circulated separately from the TOAR. Following review of the draft TOAR and draft VMT analysis by the PDT, and upon receipt and resolution of agency comments, HDR will prepare the final deliverables for inclusion as Technical Appendices to the Project Report (PR).

Task 4.5: Right-of-Way & Utilities
Monument will coordinate with the design team to identify potential right-of-way acquisitions resulting from proposed design alternatives. Additionally, Monument will provide information about existing conditions including ownership, land use, tenants, and existing encumbrances on affected properties (if available). This will help the design team identify and potentially avoid costly or long- lead acquisitions.

The specific steps Monument will take to determine impacts and prepare estimate costs are as follows:
• Perform a GIS analysis to determine properties potentially affected by each proposed alternative using alignment data prepared by the design team
863

• Use publicly available data and other real estate resources to determine the ownership, land use, zoning, lot size, and improvements for each affected property • Calculate the fee and/or easement area that will need to be acquired for each impacted property using design data and assessor boundary information
• Perform a desktop and/or visual inspection of properties as appropriate to confirm the probable acquisition type (full, partial, temporary, etc.) including identifying existing uses to be relocated. • Estimate the total capital cost of acquisition for parcels including real estate costs, relocation assistance, severance damages, loss of goodwill, fixtures and equipment, demolition and clearance • Estimate the total support cost for parcels including appraisal fees, condemnation costs, title and escrow fees, environmental fees, and consultant fees as necessary • Escalate costs to anticipated right-of-way acquisition date • Populate Caltrans Right-of-way Data Sheets for each build alternative enumerating the required property and rights and estimated costs

ICF will prepare the technical studies and impact analyses listed below based on the project description, preliminary engineering design details, and limits of permanent and temporary ground disturbance, to support the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) analysis. ICF will analyze and compare up to three (3) build alternatives that will differ by bridge type and elevation, and one (1) no-build alternative.

The build alternatives will follow the same horizontal alignment and will share the same traffic operations scenario.

ICF will start work on the analysis after receiving all needed project details for each build alternative. As a subconsultant to ICF, Egret, Inc., will provide technical editing of the studies prepared by ICF.

Task 5.5.1: Biological Studies
Aquatic Resources Delineation
ICF will conduct a delineation of waters of the United States (U.S.) and waters of the State to map wetlands and non-wetland water bodies in the project area using the routine on-site determination method described in the 1987 USACE Wetlands Delineation Manual, incorporating supplemental guidance provided in the 2008 Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Arid West Region. The delineation will be conducted by two staff over up to two field days.

Delineation of any non-wetland waters of the U.S. will be conducted in accordance with the 2008 Field Guide to the Identification of the Ordinary High-Water Mark (OHWM) in the Arid West Region of the Western United States. ICF will delineate, map, and document the boundaries of all potential waters of the U.S. will be in accordance with the Sacramento District’s Minimum Standards for Acceptance of Preliminary Wetland Delineations Aquatic Resources Delineation Reports (January 2016) and the Updated Map and Drawing Standards for the South Pacific Division Regulatory Program (February 10, 2016). Existing Lidar data will be reviewed, if available. ICF will compile and present the collected data in an aquatic resources delineation report in compliance with Sacramento U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (USACE) standards at the time the delineation is conducted. The report will be included as an attachment to the Natural Environment Study. ICF will submit its final report to USACE for verification with a request for a Preliminary Jurisdictional Delineation in accordance with Regulatory Guidance Letter 16-01. A copy of the submittal request will be sent to the City and the engineering team lead. ICF will attend up to one (1) field meeting with USACE to verify the delineation results and respond to comments from USACE.

Natural Environment Study (Optional)
In preparation for the Natural Environment Study (NES), ICF will request a list of special-status species from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for Planning and Conservation (IPaC) website and National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and will query the California Natural Diversity Database and California Native Plant Society Online Database. ICF will coordinate with Caltrans’ biologist, as necessary, regarding the potential presence of special-status species on the project site. 869

ICF will conduct reconnaissance-level surveys of the project site to determine the potential for specialstatus wildlife species based on existing habitat types present. ICF will conduct botanical surveys of the project area in April and July to capture the blooming periods of special- status plant species with potential to occur on the project site. ICF’s first survey will be completed in July 2024 (assuming the final project impact area is provided by then), and a second survey in April 2025.

In conjunction with the reconnaissance-level surveys, ICF will characterize vegetation communities and map elderberry shrubs in the project area in accordance with the USFWS 2017 Framework for Assessing Impacts to the Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle. ICF will conduct an inventory of trees that could be removed or trimmed for project construction. The City of West Sacramento tree ordinance requires a permit for trimming or removal of street trees, regardless of size, as well as native oak and heritage trees (trees with a circumference of 75 inches or more). Much of the proposed project alignment is along existing roads that are planted with trees on the sides and in the median. For the inventory, ICF will map, tag, identify species, and measure the diameter of trees in the project impact limits.

ICF’s field surveys will be able to be conducted by one botanist for one reconnaissance field survey day; one fish biologist for a partial field reconnaissance survey day; two botanist/ecologist staff for two field days to conduct the aquatic resources delineation survey (described above) and one round of botanical surveys; two botanists for one day to conduct a second botanical survey; and two staff for four field days to conduct the tree survey.

It is possible that impact pile driving will be required for bridge construction. ICF’s acoustical engineer will prepare an assessment of underwater sound levels based on proposed pile installation materials and methods. ICF’s bioacoustics team will use available information applicable to onsite conditions and proposed materials and actions to determine underwater sound pressure caused by impact pile driving and its potential to result in impacts on fish, including special-status species. The bioacoustics study will be conducted in accordance with Caltrans’ current guidance manual (currently October 2020), “Technical Guidance for Assessment of Hydroacoustic Effects of Pile Driving on Fish.” The potential for physical injury to fish from exposure to pile driving sounds will be evaluated using the “NMFS Pile Driving Calculator,” a spreadsheet model developed by NMFS to calculate the distances from the pile that sound attenuates to the peak or cumulative criteria. ICF’s bioacoustics team and fish biologist will provide recommendations for feasible noise attenuation options that may be applicable at the project site and develop mitigation recommendations to reduce hydroacoustic impacts.

ICF will summarize the results of the aquatic resources delineation, botanical surveys, wildlife habitat assessment, tree inventory, and the bioacoustics study in the NES, which will follow either the North Region or the Standard Environmental Reference report template, as directed by Caltrans prior to the start of report preparation. The NES will include an assessment of impacts on biological resources from project build alternatives and recommend mitigation measures where appropriate.

Biological Study
In preparation for the CEQA impact analysis, ICF will request a list of special-status species from the U.S.

Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for Planning and Conservation (IPaC) website and National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and will query the California Natural Diversity Database and California Native Plant Society Online Database.

ICF will conduct reconnaissance-level surveys of the project site to determine the potential for special870

status wildlife species based on existing habitat types present. ICF will conduct botanical surveys of the project area in April and July to capture the blooming periods of special-status plant species with potential to occur on the project site. ICF’s first survey will be completed in July 2024 (assuming the final project impact area is provided by then), and a second survey in April 2025.

In conjunction with the reconnaissance-level surveys, ICF will characterize vegetation communities and map all elderberry shrubs in the project area in accordance with the USFWS 2017 Framework for Assessing Impacts to the Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle. ICF will complete an inventory of trees that could be removed or trimmed for project construction. The City of West Sacramento tree ordinance requires a permit for trimming or removal of all street trees, regardless of size, as well as native oak and heritage trees (trees with a circumference of 75 inches or more). Much of the proposed project alignment is along existing roads that are planted with trees on the sides and in the median. For the inventory, ICF will map, tag, identify species, and measure the diameter of all trees in the project impact limits.

ICF’s field surveys will be able to be conducted by one botanist for one reconnaissance field survey day; one fish biologist for a partial field reconnaissance survey day; two botanist/ecologist staff for two field days to conduct the aquatic resources delineation survey (described above) and one round of botanical surveys; two botanists for one day to conduct a second botanical survey; and two staff for four field days to conduct the tree survey.

It is possible that impact pile driving will be required for bridge construction. ICF’s acoustical engineer will prepare an assessment of underwater sound levels based on proposed pile installation materials and methods. ICF’s bioacoustics team will use available information applicable to onsite conditions and proposed materials and actions to determine underwater sound pressure caused by impact pile driving and its potential to result in impacts on fish, including special-status species. The bioacoustics study will be conducted in accordance with Caltrans’ most recent guidance manual (currently October 2020), “Technical Guidance for Assessment of Hydroacoustic Effects of Pile Driving on Fish.” The potential for physical injury to fish from exposure to pile driving sounds will be evaluated using the “NMFS Pile Driving Calculator,” a spreadsheet model developed by NMFS to calculate the distances from the pile that sound attenuates to the peak or cumulative criteria. ICF’s bioacoustics team and fish biologist will provide recommendations for any feasible noise attenuation options that may be applicable at the project site and develop mitigation recommendations to reduce hydroacoustic impacts.

ICF will summarize the results of the aquatic resources delineation, botanical surveys, wildlife habitat assessment, tree inventory, and the bioacoustics study in a technical report. The report will include an assessment of impacts on biological resources from project build alternatives and recommend mitigation measures where appropriate.

Task 5.5.2: Cultural Studies
ICF will define the limit of study for cultural resources based on the engineer-provided limits of temporary and permanent ground disturbance for each build alternative, other project activities, and the proximity of potentially sensitive resources to the project footprint. The study area will define the limits of the record search, archaeological survey, and CEQA analysis.

ICF will request that the Northwest Information Center at Sonoma State University conduct a records search and submit its results to ICF in PDF and GIS shape files. ICF will request a search of the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) Sacred Lands database. If needed, the City will contact the Yolo County Assessor to facilitate access to the building characteristic and appraisal records. ICF will conduct 871

up to two days of archival research.

ICF will prepare tribal consultation request letters for City review. ICF will prepare letters to be mailed by the City to initiate AB 52 consultation with up to three (3) tribes that have requested such consultation. ICF will participate in up to two (2) meetings with tribal representatives. ICF will conduct follow-up emails and phone calls to tribal representatives to help facilitate consultation, as appropriate.

The City will provide ICF with all results of AB 52 Tribal Consultation needed to inform the Tribal Cultural Resources section of the CEQA document.

Cultural Resources Survey and Inventory Report
ICF will conduct an archaeological survey of the project study area and a review for built resources. If no archaeological resources are identified from the records search or during the survey (the assumed outcome), ICF will document in the report the “negative” results. No supplemental documentation or subsurface investigations will be conducted and ICF will determine the project has no adverse effects on archaeological resources. The information provided in the report will be used for the Cultural Resources section of the CEQA document.

Based on a preliminary review of the project area, it appears that two properties will require evaluation for listing in the National Register of Historic Places and the California Register of Historical Resources, the Sacramento River Deep Water Ship Channel (DWSC) and one industrial property. ICF will complete historic context statements for the evaluation of both resources and complete Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) 523 form sets to evaluate the California Register of Historical Resources eligibility, summarize previous findings of significance and establish historic boundaries, and identify contributing elements and character-defining features. ICF will perform additional research and mapping up to the hours provided. The information provided in the report will be used for the Cultural Resources section of the CEQA document.

Task 5.5.3: Section 4(f) Memorandum (Optional)
ICF will assess the potential temporary occupancy of the Levee Access Road trail, and also the Roland Hensley Bike Park, and the Yolo Causeway Bicycle Path if they are affected by the project. One other public recreational resource in close proximity to the project limits will also be evaluated to document that it would not be affected. The study will assume a Section 106 no adverse effect finding for up to two historic properties eligible for listing or listed in the NRHP and make a “de minimis” Section 4(f) finding for each. Project engineers will provide detailed drawings showing the impacts on Section 4(f) resources by parcel and will work with ICF’s technical analyst to develop an avoidance alternative (if a feasible alternative is available) and minimization measures, as required.

ICF will coordinate with engineers, the City, and agencies with jurisdiction over the resources to confirm if Land and Water Conservation Fund Act grants were used and determine if 6(f) properties are in the project area. Upon initial review of the list of past projects available online, there do not appear to be 6(f) properties in the area. If properties are identified, and are converted to a non recreational use, a Section 6(f) evaluation will be required, and a scope modification would be needed.

ICF will prepare concurrence letters on behalf of Caltrans to be emailed to the agencies with jurisdiction over the resources. ICF will format the memorandum such that it can easily be converted to an appendix to the draft environmental document, consistent with Caltrans’ annotated outline. 872

Task 5.5.4: Visual Impact Assessment Memorandum (Optional) ICF will prepare a Visual Impact Analysis Memorandum (VIAM), assumed to be the appropriate document after completion of Caltrans’ Questionnaire to Determine Visual Impact Assessment (VIA) Level (available: https://dot. ca.gov/programs/design/lap-visual-impact-assessment/ lap-viaquestionnaire). The analysis will be performed using methods and protocol developed by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and adopted by Caltrans. ICF will utilize the engineer-provided photo simulations to aid in evaluating visual impacts. If needed, ICF will consult with the engineers and appropriate Caltrans staff to help determine the location and view for the photo simulations so they depict very sensitive public views that are subject to change and are representative of the project site and potential for impact. The conditions depicted from each location should include pre-project and post-project views. One ICF staff person will take field photographs of the project setting to be referred to when conducting the analysis. ICF will photo inventory existing conditions including viewpoints, notable visual resources, and the visual quality of the project area. This scope assumes that necessary field investigations for the VIAM can be conducted by one ICF staff person in one day. After the field visit, ICF will download and log the photographs by location. The VIAM analysis will define the project location and setting; describe visual resources and resource change and viewer groups and viewer responses associate with the project; and evaluate potential visual impacts caused by the proposed project, including proposed mitigation measures to reduce impacts, by build alternative.

Task 5.5.5: Noise Study Report (Optional)
ICF will prepare a noise study report (NSR) evaluating the noise impacts of the project and potential noise abatement measures. The study will be prepared in accordance with procedures specified by FHWA in Title 23, Section 772 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) (23 CFR 772) and the Caltrans Traffic Noise Analysis Protocol (Protocol).

ICF will conduct field noise study to measure existing noise levels in the project area. Continuous longterm noise monitoring for at least 24 hours will be conducted at up to 3 locations in the study area if secure locations can be found. Short-term attended monitoring (15 minutes per site) will be conducted at up to 4 locations. Two ICF staff persons will be able to conduct necessary field investigations in no more than two days.

Receivers within 500 feet of the project alignment include commercial, industrial, and open space areas that do not apparently include outdoor areas of frequent human use. Residential and other noisesensitive use areas are 500 or more feet away from the study area. There is an apartment complex and a residential subdivision near the southern terminus of the project and a dirt trail on the southern DWSC levee. Outdoor use areas will be surveyed during the site visit to confirm modeling assumptions.

ICF will conduct traffic noise modeling related to the proposed project using the FHWA Traffic Noise Model (TNM) Version 2.5 and traffic data provided by the project traffic engineer. TNM will be used to assess loudest hour noise conditions at noise sensitive receiver locations under the following conditions:
• Existing conditions
• Existing with project conditions (for use in CEQA analysis) • Design year under no project conditions
• Design year under with project conditions for the 3 build alternatives 873

ICF will evaluate traffic noise impacts by determining if implementation of the project is projected to result in traffic noise impacts as defined in the Protocol. If traffic noise impacts are projected to occur, feasibility of noise abatement will be evaluated as defined in the Protocol. Based on a preliminary understanding of the project limits, it is assumed that a Noise Abatement Decision Report will not be required.

ICF will evaluate construction noise levels using methods recommended by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Noise and vibration from installation of bridge piers using pile driving in water and effects on nearby residential areas will also be evaluated using project construction/pile driving information provided by the engineering team.

Task 5.5.6: Air Quality Report & Conformity Analysis (Optional) ICF will prepare an air quality report (AQR) in accordance with Caltrans guidance. The AQR will quantify construction criteria pollutant and greenhouse gas (GHG emissions from up to three (3) build alternatives using construction data provided by the City and the current version of the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod). Construction-related emissions associated the project will be evaluated based on Caltrans Standard Specification 14 to limit emissions of fugitive dust from construction activities, and air quality rules required by the Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District (YSAQMD). The AQR will also analyze emissions impacts that would occur due to project-related changes in regional vehicle miles traveled (VMT). Because the build alternatives will follow the same horizontal alignment, it is assumed they will share the same traffic scenario. Operational criteria pollutant and GHG emissions will therefore be quantified for a single build scenario and the No-Build Alternative, as well as existing conditions.

The AQR will assess localized carbon monoxide (CO) impacts following Caltrans’ Transportation ProjectLevel Carbon Monoxide Protocol. This scope of work assumes the project will meet the protocol screening criteria without quantitative modeling of CO concentrations.

Likewise, it is assumed mobile source air toxics (MSAT) will be assessed qualitatively in accordance with FHWA’s January 2023 Updated Interim Guidance on Mobile Source Air Toxic Analysis in NEPA Documents.

The AQR will evaluate the project consistency with transportation conformity requirements. ICF will also prepare and submit via email an interagency consultation (IAC) memo to the Sacramento Area Council of Governments’ (SACOG) Project Level Conformity Group (PLCG) to verify whether the project is classified as a “project of air quality concern” (POAQC). It is assumed that the project will not be classified as a POAQC. If the build scenario is considered to require further evaluation of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) (i.e., is determined to be a POAQC by SACOG’s PLCG), a quantitative PM2.5 hot-spot evaluation would need to be included as part of the AQR, and a scope and cost amendment would be required to reflect the additional level of effort.

Because it is assumed the project will be processed under Title 23 USC 327 NEPA Assignment, ICF will prepare an air quality conformity analysis (AQCA). The AQCA will evaluate and document that regional and project-level conformity requirements related to the project are met.

Task 5.5.7: Paleontological Identification/Evaluation Report (Optional) 874

As a subconsultant to ICF, Bargas Environmental Consulting, LLC. (Bargas), will prepare a combined Paleontological Identification Report/Paleontological Evaluation Report (PIR/PER). Based on an initial review of available geologic maps, the project surface is covered by Holocene-age basin deposits, which have a low sensitivity for paleontological resources. However, these sediments are often underlain by the Pleistocene-age Modesto and Riverbank Formations at depth, both of which are considered to have a high sensitivity for paleontological resources. Therefore, Bargas’ qualified paleontologists will perform a desktop-level paleontological study to identify and evaluate the potential for the project to result in impacts on significant paleontological resources.

Bargas’ paleontologists will review available geologic maps, published and unpublished paleontological literature, geotechnical reports, and available online databases to determine the geological and paleontological context of the project area. The project area and a 0.5- mile buffer will be mapped onto high resolution geologic maps and overlain with a paleontological sensitivity layer for ease of reference.

Bargas will consult with the University of California Museum of Paleontology (UCMP) to determine if of the fossil locality records listed in the UCMP online database were discovered within or near the project area. Provided construction plans that show the depth and extent of project excavation will be reviewed to identify the type and locations of ground-disturbing activities with the potential to encounter paleontologically sensitive sediments and buried paleontological resources. The results of the study will be compiled in a combined PIR/PER document. If warranted, the PIR/PER will provide recommendations for additional paleontological tasks not included here, such as avoidance of resources, development of a Paleontological Mitigation Plan, and paleontological monitoring.

Technical Studies:

Task 5.5.8: Community Impact Assessment (CIA) (HDR) (Optional) As a optional service HDR will prepare a Community Impact Assessment (CIA) to evaluate the effects of the proposed project on the community and its quality of life using the Caltrans Community Impact Assessment guidance, the January 2023 Standard Environmental Reference CIA template, and the March 2022 “Considering Equity in Community Impact Analysis for Projects” memo and guidance. HDR assumes in this scope of work that the proposed project would not result in major impacts to the community, based on the City securing right-of-way for the bridge alignment, traffic impact studies and previous studies; therefore, the proposed project would require a CIA Mid-level Report. However, should major impacts be identified as the preliminary design advances and a full CIA be required, the additional effort would be considered out of scope.

The Mid-level CIA will include analyses of the effects of the proposed project on the following, as described:
• Land use: Land Use will be addressed for consistency with relevant state, regional, or local plans, as well as impact a park or other recreation facility (including trails, bikeways, etc.). • Growth: The proposed project is not anticipated to be growth-inducing; therefore, this section will not be included as per SER guidance for a Mid-level CIA. • Community Character and Cohesion: The CIA will address health, safety or crime concerns; public service deliver and emergency access; community character, such as aesthetics, lighting, and noise; 875

property values; and quality of life concerns. As applicable, the section will include analyses of economic conditions, relocations, environmental justice, and equity. • Traffic and Transportation / Bicycle and Pedestrian: The CIA will address traffic impacts on the local communities, as well as bicycle and pedestrian connectivity.

HDR will define the appropriate study area for the CIA based on the project construction limits. A buffer of ½-mile from the limits of construction will be delineated to include both the direct and indirect effects of the proposed project on the nearby communities.

Using the January 2023 CIA template, modified as per guidance for a Mid-level report, HDR will include a section for each resource as noted above for which potential impacts may occur. For each resource area addressed, HDR will summarize the methodology and data sources for analysis, describe the affected environment, evaluate short- term construction and long-term operational impacts; and provide avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures, as applicable should impacts result.

HDR will utilize up-to-date data from the U.S. Census Bureau, as well as SACOG and City/county data.

HDR will collect land use maps, recent planning documents, and proposed development data from the City of West Sacramento, Yolo County, Yolo County Transportation District, and other relevant agencies.

HDR will obtain publicly available GIS data and aerial photography where available.

To address equity, HDR will identify underserved populations in the project area, including but not limited to minority populations (people of color, or BIPOC), low- income households, persons with a disability, and older adults. HDR will use CalEnviroScreen 4.0, EJSCREEN, and the U.S. Census Bureau data to collect relevant data. HDR will coordinate internally with the public outreach team to also incorporate input received through engagement with the nearby and potentially affected communities.

The study area for an equity assessment on the proposed project would be broader than the general CIA project study limits to factor in the expectation that a person within reasonable access to the bridge from extended areas around West Sacramento may be able to utilize the bridge for transportation and may benefit from or be burdened by the proposed Project. Analyses for which environmental justice and equity overlap, HDR will include the analysis in the environmental justice section and refer to the appropriate section(s) in the equity section to avoid redundancy.

HDR will prepare a Draft CIA for City of West Sacramento and Caltrans review, followed by a revised draft that addresses and incorporates comments revived from the reviewers. HDR will perform a quality review and technical editing and prepare the revised draft CIA for City of West Sacramento and Caltrans review. After final comments are addressed, HDR will submit the Final CIA.

Environmental Document:

Task 5.5.9: Floodplain Evaluation Report & Sea-Level Rise Assessment HDR will review available data, including previous studies, provided by USACE, USCG, FEMA, Yolo County, City of West Sacramento, and the Project Team. Key information to review will be the available hydrologic and hydraulic data from USACE, USCG, FEMA, Yolo County, City of West Sacramento. Other key information to review include topographic survey, available channel cross-sections, and as-built data of nearby bridges over the Sacramento Deep Water Ship Channel. 876

HDR will perform a preliminary hydraulic analysis of Project location to determine the design flow characteristics for the existing and proposed conditions for the selected flood flow. Work will involve hydraulic modeling of the Sacramento River Deep Ship Channel The hydraulic model of choice will be the CVFED Sacramento System model (provided by others).

Based on HDR’s preliminary hydraulic assessments, the Project may result in a floodplain encroachment.

Therefore, HDR will prepare a Floodplain Evaluation Report, which will include the Technical Information for the Location Hydraulic Study and Floodplain Evaluation Report Summary forms, to document the investigation and determine the specific impacts to the floodplain and necessary avoidance, minimization, and/or mitigation measures.

Additionally, HDR will verify if the Project location is susceptible to sea-level rise (SLR) and will confirm tidal datum and predicted SLR elevations (low, medium, or high) per Caltrans and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) guidelines if applicable. HDR will discuss the Project’s design life/ timeframe, adaptive capaCity, and risk tolerance to assess the Project impacts and the SLR information will be summarized in the Floodplain Evaluation Report.

Task 5.5.10: Water Quality Assessment
In order to provide the existing physical and regulatory environment information for water quality, HDR will: 1) identify and describe the current and upcoming laws that relate to water quality; 2) describe the beneficial uses as detailed by the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) Basin Plan for potentially- affected waters; 3) discuss water quality objectives for potentially-affected waters; 4) list potential sources of pollutants, existing water quality of the receiving water bodies, i.e. Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL) or 303(d)impaired water bodies listed; and 5) describe the watershed, existing drainage, and hydrologic conditions. HDR will evaluate the water quality impacts for each proposed alternative and recommend possible management practices or Project features to address water quality issues. HDR will document our findings in a technical report.

Task 5.5.11: Environmental Document Hydrology, Hydraulics & Water Quality Sections HDR will review the Project description, the technical studies, perform research, assess impacts to floodplains and water quality for the Project, and propose avoidance and minimization measures as well as project features or BMPs as appropriate. HDR will prepare the Hydrology and Water Quality section of the environmental document summarizing these potential impacts and avoidance, minimization, and project features or BMPs as appropriate.

Task 5.5.12: Phase I Initial Site Assessment (ISA) Report For the proposed project, PARIKH will prepare a Phase I Initial Site Assessment (ISA) report. The ISA aims to identify potential or known hazardous materials, hazardous waste, and contamination in the project area as well as the party(ies) responsible, or potentially responsible, for hazardous waste and contamination.

ISA tasks consist of data collection and document research, including historical land use based on aerial photographs, topographic maps, and other relevant documents, and site reconnaissance. ASTM E1527.21 recommends an approximate minimum search distance of one mile radius for the records 877

review and data search. Data will be ordered from Environmental Data Research, Inc. (EDR Inc.). No field exploration involving soil or material disturbance, or testing is included in this phase of the work.

Task 5.5. Assumptions & Exclusions
• Technical guidance available and provided at the start of the environmental work will remain current through study preparation.
• All needed project details for up to three build alternatives, including but not limited to impact limits, exhibits depicting alternatives, details of construction methodology, construction schedule, construction equipment and their proposed use, phasing, staging, property acquisition and easements, and traffic management, will be provided prior to the start of work on the environmental analyses. • The City will lead and keep a log of all tribal consultations under AB 52. • This scope of services excludes the following:
o Changes to maps, quantifications, modeling, and other aspects of the environmental analysis due to change(s) to the design of the project/alternatives or project impact limits once an original set of project data is provided for use.
o Circumstances beyond consultant team’s control, such as adverse weather conditions (e.g., high wind, rain) that preclude completing field investigations in the hours estimated. o Any archaeological resource recording, testing, or evaluations of eligibility. o Printed copies of technical studies.
o Remediation of documents for ADA compliance.

Task 5.5. Deliverables:
• Cultural Resources Inventory Report: Administrative Draft (City), Revised Draft, Final (only cover/signature page adjustments) for approval. PDF format. Final PDF with shapefiles will also be provided to the NWIC as part of ICF’s CHRIS use agreement. • Floodplain Evaluation Report
• Water Quality Technical Report
• Phase I ISA
Task 5.6: Draft & Final EIR
Task A. Notice of Preparation of EIR
ICF will prepare a draft and final Notice of Preparation (NOP) of Environmental Impact Report (EIR) that will be used to request agency and public input for the scope of the EIR and invite recipients to a scoping meeting. The City will upload the NOP to the State Clearinghouse environmental document submission portal, post it to the project website, file it with the county clerk, and pay filing fees. ICF will be forwarded all responses to the NOP so that they can be considered and included in the Draft EIR.

Task B. Public Meetings
ICF’s project manager will attend up to four public meetings scheduled and arranged by other project team members. One meeting is assumed to occur during the scoping comment period indicated in the NOP, the second is assumed to occur during the public comment period of the Draft EIR, and the third is assumed to be the public hearing at which the environmental document is approved by the City of West Sacramento. A fourth meeting will likely be a public information meeting. ICF’s project manager will assist with the development of textual content for up to two meeting presentations being prepared by other team members.
878

Task C. Draft EIR
The EIR will be prepared in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) with the City of West Sacramento acting as lead agency. This scope assumes an EIR is the appropriate level of document for CEQA, which would be the case if new or more severe impacts not disclosed in the program EIRs (2016 EIR and 2023 Supplemental EIR) for the general plan are identified. ICF will prepare impact analyses based on the project description, preliminary engineering design details, and limits of permanent and temporary ground disturbance. ICF will analyze and compare up to three (3) build alternatives that will differ by bridge type and elevation, and one (1) no-build alternative. The build alternatives will follow the same horizontal alignment and will share the same traffic operations scenario.

The specific alignment of the Enterprise Boulevard Bridge over the DWSC is shown in the City’s General Plan Mobility Element. ICF will use the program-level environmental documents prepared for the City’s general plan updates as the first-tier document for CEQA (Program EIR for the 2016 General Plan and supplemental EIR for the 2035 General Plan Update). Project-specific analyses for CEQA will be conducted and documented in the EIR. Each CEQA resource topic will be reviewed and the project’s impacts compared to the impacts disclosed in the program EIRs for the general plan. In addition to the analyses described under Task 5.5, the following specific analyses will also be conducted.

Aesthetics. ICF will utilize the engineer-provided photo simulations to aid in evaluating visual impacts. If needed, one ICF staff person will take field photographs of the project setting to be referred to when conducting the analysis. ICF will photo inventory existing conditions including viewpoints, notable visual resources, and the visual quality of the project area. All necessary field investigations for the assessment of visual changes are assumed to be conducted by one ICF staff person in one day. The analysis in the EIR will define the project location and setting; describe visual resources and resource change and viewer groups and viewer responses associate with the project; and evaluate potential visual impacts caused by the proposed project, including any proposed mitigation measures to reduce impacts, by build alternative.

Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions. ICF will quantify construction criteria pollutant and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from up to three (3) build alternatives using construction data provided by the engineering team and/or City and the most recent version of the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod). Construction-related emissions associated with the project will be evaluated consistent with CEQA guidance from the Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District (YSAQMD). ICF will also analyze emissions impacts that would occur due to project-related changes in regional vehicle miles traveled (VMT). Because each of the build alternatives will follow the same horizontal alignment, it is assumed they will share the same traffic scenario. Operational criteria pollutant and GHG emissions will therefore be quantified for a single build scenario and the No-Build Alternative, as well as existing conditions. ICF will compare criteria pollutant emissions to YSAQMD thresholds to evaluate potential air quality impacts under CEQA. The CEQA determination for GHGs will consider the net change in emissions relative to existing conditions and relevant guidance from the YSAQMD.

In response to the Supreme Court decision in Sierra Club v. County of Fresno, ICF will discuss potential regional and localized health effects from criteria pollutant emissions during project construction and from project-related changes VMT. Potential regional health effects will be assessed using the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District’s Friant Ranch Guidance and accompanying calculators (which include Yolo County). ICF will apply screening criteria to qualitatively assess the 879

potential for operational mobile-source emissions to result in localized carbon monoxide (CO) impacts.

This scope of work assumes the project will meet the screening criteria without quantitative modeling of CO concentrations. Given the 1) limited expected duration of construction activities, 2) nature of the surrounding area (limited receptors within 1,000 feet of the project), and 3) compatibility with surrounding land uses (i.e., industrial), potential health effects from diesel exhaust generated by equipment used during construction will be evaluated qualitatively. Likewise, it is assumed operational mobile source air toxics (MSAT) and the corresponding health effects will be assessed qualitatively.

Finally, ICF will qualitatively evaluate project consistency with appliable air quality and GHG plans.

Noise. ICF will conduct a CEQA-specific noise analysis based on city standards and CEQA assessment requirements, including an analysis of the existing plus project condition by alternative. ICF will conduct field noise study to measure existing noise levels in the project area. Continuous long-term noise monitoring for at least 24 hours will be conducted at up to 3 locations in the study area if secure locations can be found. Short-term attended monitoring (15 minutes per site) will be conducted at up to 4 locations. Two ICF staff persons will be able to conduct all necessary field investigations in no more than two days.

Receivers within 500 feet of the project alignment include commercial, industrial, and open space areas that do not apparently include outdoor areas of frequent human use. Residential and other noisesensitive use areas are 500 or more feet away from the study area. There is an apartment complex and a residential subdivision near the southern terminus of the project and a dirt trail on the southern DWSC levee. Outdoor use areas will be surveyed during the site visit to confirm modeling assumptions.

ICF will conduct traffic noise modeling related to the proposed project using the FHWA Traffic Noise Model (TNM) Version 2.5 and traffic data provided by the project traffic engineer. TNM will be used to assess loudest hour noise conditions at noise sensitive receiver locations under the following conditions.

Existing conditions,
Existing with project conditions (for use in CEQA analysis), Design year under no project conditions, and
Design year under with project conditions for the 3 build alternatives.

ICF will evaluate traffic noise impacts by determining if implementation of the project is projected to result in traffic noise impacts based on CEQA thresholds and impacts disclosed in the program EIRs.

ICF will evaluate construction noise levels using methods recommended by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Noise and vibration from installation of bridge piers using pile driving in water and effects on nearby residential areas will also be evaluated using project construction/pile driving information provided by the engineering team.

Paleontology. Based on an initial review of available geologic maps, the project surface is covered by Holocene-age basin deposits, which have a low sensitivity for paleontological resources. However, these sediments are often underlain by the Pleistocene-age Modesto and Riverbank Formations at depth, both of which are considered to have a high sensitivity for paleontological resources. Therefore, Bargas’ qualified paleontologists will perform a desktop-level paleontological assessment to identify and evaluate the potential for the project to result in impacts on significant paleontological resources.

Bargas’ paleontologists will review available geologic maps, published and unpublished paleontological literature, geotechnical reports, and available online databases to determine the geological and paleontological context of the project area. The project area and a 0.5-mile buffer will be mapped onto the highest resolution geologic maps available and overlain with a paleontological sensitivity layer for ease of reference. Bargas will consult with the University of California Museum of Paleontology (UCMP) 880

to determine if any of the fossil locality records listed in the UCMP online database were discovered within or near the project area. Provided construction plans that show the depth and extent of project excavation will be reviewed to identify the type and locations of ground-disturbing activities with the potential to encounter paleontologically sensitive sediments and buried paleontological resources. The results of the assessment, and, if needed, a description of mitigation for potential significant impacts, will be compiled in the EIR.

Other CEQA Resource Topics. The remaining CEQA resource topics, as listed in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines and included in the General Plan program EIRs (2016 EIR and 2023 Supplemental EIR), will be addressed in the EIR. Studies prepared and provided by other team partners will be used to support the CEQA analysis for hydrology/water quality, hazards and hazardous materials, traffic, and transportation.

As a subconsultant to ICF, Egret Inc. will provide technical editing of the Draft EIR.

ICF will prepare a draft Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) in tabular format to include as an appendix to the Draft EIR.

The City will forward all public comments received during the public comment period for the Draft EIR.

Task D. Notice of Completion & Notice of Availability
Prior to the start of the public comment period for the Draft EIR, ICF will prepare one draft and one final Notice of Completion (NOC) form and one draft and one final Notice of Availability of Draft EIR (NOA) for City to upload to the State Clearinghouse and for City to publish at least one time in a newspaper of general circulation in the project area. ICF will print and mail up to 50 copies of the NOA to a provided mailing list of public agencies and organizations and individuals who have previously requested such notice in writing, using a method that provides notice of receipt. ICF will support the outreach/public communications team with the tracking of contact information for those individuals, organizations or agencies who specifically request to receive project notifications.

The City will upload NOC, NOA, and Draft EIR to the State Clearinghouse environmental document submission portal, post notices and Draft EIR to the project website, file documents with county clerk, and pay filing fees.

Task E. Final EIR
After the 45-day public review period, ICF will prepare a matrix of up to 150 comments, combined, in up to 30 letters received in response to circulation of the Public Draft EIR and will work with the City and engineering team to provide draft and final responses to comments related to the environmental analysis. ICF will prepare a Final EIR that will include a list of the agencies, organizations and individuals that provided comments on the Draft EIR, a summary of comments and responses to comments, and a summary of any errata to the Public Draft EIR.

Task 5.7: Environmental Permit Applications (Optional)
Task A. Permitting Requirements & Strategy
ICF will identify the environmental regulatory agencies with permitting authority over the project and coordinate with the engineering team on requirements that need to be incorporated into project design or construction methods to facilitate permitting.
882

Construction of the proposed project would trigger the need to obtain several environmental permits.

Construction of the Enterprise Boulevard Bridge over the DWSC, a navigable water of the U.S., will require a Bridge Permit from the U.S. Coast Guard. The discharge of permanent and/or temporary fill material to waters of the United States, will require a Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 404 Permit from USACE, the USCG and USACE will require CWA 401 water quality certification from the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) as a condition of their permits. The DWSC is identified as a regulated stream in California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 23, table 8.1 and an Encroachment Permit from the Central Valley Flood Protection Board (Flood Board) will be required for work within 100- foot proximity of the DWSC or 10 feet of the landside levee toe. The West Sacramento Area Flood Control
Agency (WSAFCA) will need to review and endorse the application before submittal to the Flood Board.

A Fish and Game Code Section 1602 Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) will be required for activities affecting the bed or bank of lakes or streams.

ICF will work with the City and engineers to develop a permitting strategy that will lead to the issuance of permits as early as possible. ICF’s project manager and regulatory specialist will participate in up to ten, one-hour meetings with the project team during and up to the submittal of the permit packages to the agencies and up to five, one-hour meetings with the agencies to discuss the permit packages and shepherd the project through the permitting process.

For each deliverable, the City and Engineering Team will conduct a concurrent review. The City will pay all application fees.

For geotechnical investigations conducted to support project design, this scope assumes that the investigations will occur in advance of certification of environmental documentation for the full project, and bores will be located such that they will not trigger regulatory action other than CEQA compliance (bore at least 100 feet landward from the top of bank and 10 feet from landward levee toe). If consulting Native American Tribes determine monitoring of the geotechnical effort is necessary, an estimate of the cost of monitoring will be amended to this scope of work. Geotechnical activities are typically exempt from CEQA (Class 6); the City of West Sacramento will file a notice of exemption form for the borings.

Task B. Pre-Application Meetings
ICF regulatory specialists will schedule and attend one pre-application meeting with the CVFPB, USACE Levees and Channels Branch, and USCG to identify and resolve regulatory concerns and confirm projectspecific process to be followed during permitting phase. ICF will prepare the agenda and provide copies of the design drawings and maps to be discussed. The goal of the meeting is to verify that the proposed project design is compliant with Title 23 and permittable. At the meeting ICF will also confirm whether U.S. Code Title 33 Section 408 Permission is required by the USACE.

ICF will request and attend a pre-filing meeting with the RWQCB no less than 30 days prior to requesting water quality certification as required by the Final 2023 CWA Section 401 Water Quality Certification Improvement Rule. The pre-filing meeting will focus on potential water quality related impacts resulting 883

from the project, but it will also provide opportunities to discuss avoidance and minimization measures and design alternatives with RWQCB, USACE, and USCG.

Task C. Permit Applications (Optional Services)
U.S. Coast Guard Bridge Permit
After completion of the DED, a bridge permit application (COMDTPUB P16591.3D) will be submitted to the U.S. Coast Guard, pursuant to Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) Section 9 and the General Bridge Act of 1946. The application will include the proposed horizontal and vertical clearances, elevation of mean high water, type of bridge, construction schedule, summary of maintenance traffic during construction, completion date, amount of fill above and below mean-high tide line, adjacent property owners within

0.5-mile radius, and scaled drawings of the proposed project. The environmental documentation and relevant technical studies prepared for Caltrans to comply with NEPA, ESA, and the NHPA will also be included. The USCG Bridge Permit would be contingent on receipt of the CWA 404 Permit from the USACE and Water Quality Certification from the RWQCB.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Clean Water Act Section 404 Permit Linear Transportation Projects, including bridges can be authorized under one or more USACE’ Nationwide Permits (e.g., NWP 14 for linear transportation projects, NWP 15 for USCG-approved bridges). ICF will prepare and submit a pre-construction notice (PCN) demonstrating compliance with the Nationwide Permit conditions including Water Quality Certification (WQC), the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA), and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). The outcome of ESA and NHPA consultations conducted for the project will demonstrate ESA and NHPA compliance. If compensatory mitigation for the loss of waters of the U.S. are required, ICF will conduct an online search for available mitigation bank credits or in lieu fee programs and propose the purchase of credits to offset the loss.

Under Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899, the USACE regulates activities in, under, or over navigable waters of the U.S., except for the construction of bridges. The RHA Section 9 “New Bridge Permit” supersedes the need for a Section 10 permit unless the new bridge incorporates a feature (such as a power line) that is not fully integrated into the bridge design and affects navigable waters. Under this latter situation, the USACE would issue a combined Section 404/10 permit.

Central Valley Flood Protection Board Title 23 Encroachment Permit After the pre-application meeting discussed under Task B, ICF will prepare and submit the required Encroachment Permit Application package to the CVFPB. The application materials will include the draft CEQA document, project description, site photographs, construction drawings, technical studies including hydraulic, and scour analysis, and the geotechnical reports, if available. The application will require endorsement by the local levee maintaining agencies (e.g., West Sacramento Area Flood Control Agencies), prior to submittal to the CVFPB. During the Encroachment Permit review process, the application will be sent to the USACE Levees and Channels Branch for their review and comment. If the USACE determines that the project may permanently or temporarily alter a USACE Civil Works project levee (e.g., the levees confining the Sacramento River and Yolo Bypass), then 33 U.S. Code Section 408 Permission from the USACE will be required before the Encroachment Permit can be issued. As the nonfederal sponsor of the federal Project Levees, CVFPB will request 33USC408 Permission from the USACE. 884

ICF will promptly respond to questions and data needs and provide additional information or materials requested by the USACE during the Encroachment Permit process to help move the project through the process. The CVFPB Encroachment Permit would be issued after 408 permission is provided and the project is approved by the Board. 408 permitting efforts are not included in the current scope, and will require scope and budget modification.

Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board Water Quality Certification No sooner than 30 days following the pre-filing meeting discussed under Task B, ICF will prepare and submit the required WQC Application materials to the RWQCB. The application will be based on a detailed written and drawn description of the final design, including final foundation and rock work, provided by the engineering team. The application will also discuss the alternatives for the proposed project and demonstrate that the project is the least environmentally damaging practicable alternative.

A certification fee to be provided by the City, copies of the public draft CEQA document, PCN submitted to the USACE, and the notification to CDFW will be included. Certification cannot be issued until the CEQA process is finalized.

California Department of Fish and Wildlife Lake and Streambed Alteration (LSA) Agreement ICF will prepare an LSA Notification package describing the project features; construction period; construction methods; impacts to vegetation, fish, and wildlife; and the proposed monitoring plans. ICF will upload the final draft notification materials to CDFW’s Environmental Permit Information Management System (EPIMS). The City will pay the notification fee to CDFW to allow the notification to be final. If CDFW requests a site visit after they determine the notification is final, ICF’s regulatory specialist will schedule and attend one (1) site visit with CDFW, the City, the engineering team, and up to two of ICF’s technical specialists. CDFW should issue a draft Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement within 60 days of a completion notification. Once received, ICF will review the draft LSA Agreement and suggest revisions to conditions that may conflict with other agency conditions or the constructability of the project, If CDFW requires compensatory mitigation for impacts described in the notification, ICF will conduct an online search for available CDFW approved mitigation bank credits and propose the purchase of credits to offset the impacts. The final agreement cannot be issued until the City agrees and signs the Draft LSA Agreement and the CEQA process is final.

California Department of Fish and Wildlife Incidental Take Permit A CDFW Section 2081 Incidental Take Permit is assumed necessary because of the potential for project construction to result in “take” of the following species protected by the California Endangered Species Act: Sacramento River winter-run Chinook salmon, Central Valley spring-run Chinook salmon, Delta smelt, longfin smelt, and giant garter snake.

ICF will prepare a Section 2081 application document The application will include the required information as specified in Title 14 California Code of Regulations § 783.2, including but not limited to a description of how impacts associated with the incidental take would be minimized and fully mitigated and a description of funding assurances to implement the required minimization and mitigation measures. ICF will coordinate with CDFW during preparation of the Section 2081 application to verify that minimization and mitigation measures are consistent with other permits issued for the project.

Separate Central Valley Flood Protection Board Title 23 Encroachment Permit 885

If the project includes bicycle facilities along the Yolo Bypass project levee, it may be preferrable to apply for a Title 23 Encroachment Permit and 408 Permission separate from the DWSC Bridge permit because the 408 Permission process can take a year or more and unless it is processed as a separate permit, it would delay construction for the entire project. ICF will prepare and submit a second Encroachment Permit Application package to the CVFPB for project components requiring 408 Permission only, so it does not delay approval of the Encroachment Permit Application described above.

The application materials will include the draft CEQA document for the overall project, a description of the work affecting the project levees, site photographs, construction drawings, technical studies including hydraulic, and scour analysis, and geotechnical reports, if available. The application will require endorsement by the local levee maintaining agencies (e.g., West Sacramento Area Flood Control Agencies), prior to submittal to the CVFPB. As the non-federal sponsor of the federal Project Levees, CVFPB will send the application to the USACE Levees and Channels Branch and request 33USC408 Permission. ICF will promptly respond to questions and data needs and provide additional information or materials requested by the USACE during the Encroachment Permit/408 Permission process to help move the project through the system. The CVFPB Encroachment Permit would be issued after 408 permission is provided and the project is approved by the Board. If appropriate, this task will be added to the project scope with an estimate of the level of staff effort needed.

Based on TSR selected bridge type or types, HDR will prepare 30% bridge plan based on roadway geometric design plans that will include bridge General Plan, General Notes, Foundation Plan and Stage Construction Plan at 1”=50’ for Agency review.

Our scope assumes the bridge foundations will be placed away from the existing levee prism, and design will be able include the additional freeboard required near the bridge to address levee maintenance 890

access. Changes to these assumptions may require additional permitting and levee coordination efforts not currently assumed.

Task 6.1.2: Final 30% Bridge Plans
Based on review comments, HDR will prepare final 30% bridge plan that will include bridge General Plan, General Notes, Foundation Plan and Stage Construction Plan at 1”=20’.

TASK 7: FUNDING SUPPORT
As the project develops, HDR’s funding and grant specialists will identify innovative strategies to prioritize potential federal, state, and local grant program opportunities and tailor discrete project phases or components to meet anticipated grant requirements and merit criteria to be more competitive.

HDR is very familiar with the USDOT discretionary grant programs and has assisted numerous applicants in successful applications. In general, HDR has found that the following is required for a successful federal grant application:
• A description of the project, its goals, its purpose and need, and how it will be implemented. • A well-articulated plan to finalize engineering and environmental documentation. • A readable narrative application.
• A benefit-cost analysis that demonstrates positive economic, environmental, and social outcomes. • Strong preference for the project, among the various projects in the state, by one or more Senators or Congressional Representatives, and from the Governor’s office. 893

HDR will assist the City of West Sacramento with the preparation of the application and the supplementary economic analysis.

Task 7.1: Project Kick-Off/Strategic Guidance
HDR will provide guidance on application development, schedule, criteria, and overall strategy to produce a successful grant application. This task will include conference calls and an initial kick-off meeting to discuss various alternatives and options for the development of the application, as well as providing intelligence gathered regarregarding the grant programs.

Deliverables: Intelligence gathered as appropriate transmitted via email and coordination meetings.

Task 7.2: Application Preparation
HDR will lead the development of the grant application for the project. HDR will provide technical writing and review services this is consistent with standard grant criteria. HDR will also assist in evaluating the selected project and developing the content for each of the evaluation criteria described earlier in this proposal.

HDR will coordinate aspects of the grant application including appendices such as letters of support, funding commitment letters, environmental studies, permit applications, benefit-cost analysis, and Statement of Work.

It is assumed that the City of West Sacramento will submit the grant application on USDOT’s grants.gov site.

Deliverables: Completed FY 202X XX Grant Application.

Task 7.3: Supplementary Benefit-Cost Analysis
HDR will quantify public benefits expected to be derived from the project that demonstrates adherence with the appropriate merit criteria. A key challenge of grant application will be to provide convincing evidence to USDOT of the merit for improvements in comparison to other investments being proposed by other project applicants.

Generally, we propose a five-step process for the economic analyses undertaken for this project:

Step 1: Define Baseline & Alternative Scenarios
As with previous rounds, the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) requires that project benefits be estimated relative to a no-build scenario that factors in less capital-intensive improvements than the project being considered. Under this step, HDR will work with the City of West Sacramento to clarify the baseline condition and the possible alternatives for consideration.

Step 2: Identify Public Benefit Categories
This step formalizes the public benefit categories to be evaluated. Public benefit categories will be mapped to long term outcomes and merit criteria specified in the NOFO, including:
• Safety
• Environmental Sustainability
894

• Quality of Life
• Economic Competitiveness
• State of Good Repair
Included in this step is a strategy session by which the various components of the project will be discussed to fully define which elements should be included in the project scope maximizing the probability of a grant award.

Step 3: Develop & Code Benefit-Cost Model Logic
For each of the benefit categories identified in Step 1 above, logic models will be developed that represent the methodology used to monetize each project benefit. The logic model will be populated with the up to date information available. HDR will collect model inputs from a variety of sources including USDOT guidance and other project documentation.

Step 4: Produce Benefit-Cost Results, Test Sensitivity of Results against Key Variables In this step, key variables will be flagged for testing and the model will be re-run and results generated based on key material events – for example, delay in implementation, significantly lower than anticipated rail volumes, etc.

Step 5: Economic Impact Analysis
In this step, HDR will quantify public benefits expected to be derived from the proposed project and measure them against the project’s full costs, summarizing its cost-effectiveness with a benefit-cost ratio and an estimate of net benefit that would arise from it.

Step 6: Issue Results
In this step materials for inclusion in the grant application and in support of the findings described in the economics section of the applications are drafted.

CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE WITH LABOR CODE § 3700
[Labor Code § 1861]
I am aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the Labor Code which require every employer to be insured against liability for workers’ compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that code, and I will comply with such provisions before commencing the performance of the work of this contract.

EXHIBIT E

LABOR COMPLIANCE

1. PREVAILING WAGE
A. The Work contemplated herein constitutes a public work within the meaning of Labor Code sections 1720 and 1771. It shall be mandatory upon the Consultant and upon any Subcontractor, to pay not less than the said specified prevailing rates of wages to all workers employed by them under the Contract in accordance with Labor Code section 1774. The Director of the Department of Industrial Relations ("DIR") of the State of California has determined the general prevailing rate of wages of per diem wages in the locality in which the work is to be performed for each craft or type of worker needed to execute the Contract. The Consultant acknowledges that it has examined the prevailing rate of per diem wages as established by the DIR. Copies of the current schedules for prevailing wages are on file at City Hall, and the contents of those schedules are incorporated herein as if set forth in full. The Consultant shall post a copy of the applicable prevailing wage determinations at each job site, along with any other work place posters required by law.

B. The City will not recognize any claims for additional compensation because of the payment of prevailing wages. The possibility of wage increases is one of the elements to be considered by the Consultant in determining its proposal, and will not under any circumstances be considered as the basis of a claim against the City.

C. By executing this Contract Consultant warrants that it has registered with the Department of Industrial Relations in accordance with Labor Code section 1725.5.

2. PREVAILING WAGE RECORDS
A. The Consultant and each subcontractor shall keep an accurate payroll record which shows the name, address, social security number, correct work classification (in accordance with the wage decision), both straight and overtime worked each day and week, and hourly rate of pay, gross wages earned, deductions made and net wages paid to each journeyman, apprentice, worker or other employee paid by the Consultant /subcontractor in connection with the Work. These payroll records shall be certified and shall be made available at Consultant's principal office. These records shall be maintained during the course of the Work. The Consultant and all subcontractors shall make the certified payroll records available for inspection by City representatives upon request and shall permit such representatives to interview employees during the work hours on the job site.

B. The City shall notify the Consultant in writing of any discrepancies or violations that are discovered during such inspections. Written notification pursuant to this Section shall include the actions that will be necessary to resolve the discrepancies and/or violations. The Consultant shall be held entirely responsible for the prompt resolution of all non-compliances with the prevailing wage laws, including those pertaining to all subcontractors and any lower-tier subcontractors. The Consultant shall forfeit as penalty to the City the amount specified by law for each calendar day or portion thereof for each worker (whether employed by the Consultant or any subcontractor) paid less than the stipulated prevailing rates for any work done under the Contract in violation of the provisions of the Labor Code and in particular, Section 1775.

C. To the extent applicable, Consultant and subcontractors shall maintain and furnish to the Department of Industrial Relations ("DIR"), a certified copy of each weekly payroll (but no less often than monthly), with a statement of compliance signed under penalty of perjury. Such certified payroll reports shall be transmitted electronically to the DIR.

D. The City will not recognize any claims for additional compensation because of the payment of the prevailing wages. The possibility of wage increases is one of the elements to be considered by the Consultant 902
in entering into the Contract, and will not under any circumstances, other than delays caused by the City, or the City’s agents, be considered as the basis of a claim against the City.

3. Labor Discrimination
Attention is directed to Section 1735 of the Labor Code, which reads as follows:
“No discrimination shall be made in the employment of persons upon public works because of their race, color, national origin or ancestry, physical handicap, mental condition, marital status, or sex of such person, except as provided in Section 12940 of the Government Code, and every General Contractor for public works violating this section is subject to all the penalties imposed for a violation of this chapter.”
4 Eight-Hour Day Limitation
(a) In accordance with the provisions of the Labor Code, and in particular, Sections 1810 to 1815 thereof, inclusive, incorporated herein by reference, eight hours labor shall constitute a day's work, and no worker in the employ of Consultant, or any Subcontractor, doing or contracting to do any part of the work contemplated by the Contract, shall be required or permitted to work more than eight (8) hours in any one calendar day and forty (40) hours in any one calendar week in violation of those provisions; provided that subject to Labor Code Section 1815, a worker may perform work in excess of either eight (8) hours per day or forty (40) hours during any one week upon compensation for all hours worked in excess of eight (8) hours per day or forty (40) hours during any one week at not less than one and one-half times the basic rate of pay. (b) The Consultant and each Subcontractor shall also keep an accurate record showing the names and actual hours worked of all workers employed by them in connection with the Contract. This record shall be open at all reasonable hours to the inspection of the City. It is hereby further agreed that, except as provided in (a) above, the Consultant shall forfeit as a penalty to the City the sum of twenty-five dollars ($25) for each worker employed in the performance of the Contract by the Consultant or by any of its Subcontractors for each calendar day during which such worker is required or permitted to labor more than eight (8) hours in and one calendar day and forty (40) hours in any one calendar week in violation of Sections 1810 through 1815.

5. Compliance with State Requirements for Employment of Apprentices (a) The Consultant's attention is directed to Section 1777.5 of the Labor Code. Provisions of said Section pertaining to employment of registered apprentices are hereby incorporated by reference into this Contract. As applicable, the Consultant or any Subcontractor employed by the Consultant in the performance of this Contract shall take such actions as necessary to comply with the provisions of Section 1777.5. 903

FEDERAL CONTRACT PROVISIONS
2 C.F.R. § 200.326 and 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix II, Required Contract Clauses In the event of any contradictions or inconsistencies between these provisions and the provisions of the Agreement itself, the terms of this Exhibit shall control. ☒TERMINATION FOR CAUSE (in addition to standard Termination language) Criteria: All Contracts over $10k

1. In the event of any default by the Consultant as described below, the City may, after giving ten (10) days’ written notice to the Consultant, terminate the Consultant’s right to proceed with the Work or any part of the Work in the City’s sole discretion. Events of default include:
a. Failure or refusal to prosecute the Work, or any separable part thereof, with such diligence as will ensure the completion within the time specified in the Contract, or any extension thereof, or failure to complete said work within such time. b. Filing of bankruptcy by the Consultant, or the making of a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or appointment of a receiver on account of Consultant’s insolvency without discharge of the receiver within ten (10) days after its appointment. c. Failure to make prompt payments to Subcontractors or suppliers. d. Persistent disregard of laws, ordinances, or the instructions of the City, or other substantial violation of any provision of the Contract.

2. In the event the right of the Consultant to proceed with the Work, or any portion thereof, has been terminated because of the default of the Consultant and the Consultant has been given ten (10) days’ notice to cure such fault and has not done so, the City may take over the Work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or any other method the City deems expedient, and may take possession of and utilize in completing the Work such materials, appliances, equipment and plant as may be on the site of the Work and necessary therefore. In such event, the Consultant and its sureties shall be liable for all damages including costs of managerial and administrative services, engineering, legal and other consultant fees, and liquidated damages sustained or incurred by the City.

3. Upon termination, the Consultant shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the Work is finished. If upon completion of the Work the total cost to the City, including engineering, legal and other consultant fees, costs of managerial and administrative services, construction costs, and liquidated damages shall be less than the amount which would have been paid if the Work had been completed by the Consultant in accordance with the terms of the Contract, then the difference shall be paid to the Consultant in the same manner as the final payment under the Contract. If the total cost incurred by the City on account of termination of the Contract and subsequent completion of the Work by the City by whatever method the City may deem expedient shall exceed said amount which the Consultant would otherwise have been paid, the Consultant and its sureties shall be liable to the City for the full amount of such excess expense.

4. The rights and remedies of the City provided in this section are in addition to any of the rights and remedies provided by the law or under this Contract. ☐ EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY 41 CFR Part 60-1.4b

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 20, 2024 ITEM #15
SUBJECT:

PRESENTATION TO CONSIDER THE 2024 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR THE

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM
INITIATED OR REQUESTED BY: REPORT COORDINATED OR PREPARED BY:
[ ] Council [ X ] Staff
[ ] Other
Isaah Alford, Community Investment Planner
Economic Development and Housing
ATTACHMENT [ X ] Yes [ ] No [ ] Information [X ] Direction [ ] Action

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this report is to provide the Council with information necessary to provide comments on proposed activities for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding for the 2024 Annual Action Plan.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the Council provide direction on the proposed activities for the 2024 Annual Action Plan for the CDBG Program.

BACKGROUND
The City of West Sacramento (City) became eligible to receive federal CDBG Entitlement funding from the U.S.

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in fiscal year 2016/2017. In accordance with HUD regulations, the City developed a five-year Consolidated Plan examining the needs of low-income persons and neighborhoods and setting goals for the use of CDBG funding. The current HUD Income Limits for Yolo County can be found in Attachment 1. The consolidated planning process honors community connections established during previous outreach efforts and builds upon the community concerns voiced during the citizen participation process. The City’s 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan was adopted by the City Council on April 21, 2021, and subsequently approved by HUD. The Consolidated Plan identified six goals to be addressed within the fiveyear period:
 Consolidated Plan Goal #1: Address the supportive services needs of persons experiencing homelessness and those at risk of homelessness;
 Consolidated Plan Goal #2: Create low barrier housing opportunities for persons experiencing homelessness and extremely low-income households;
 Consolidated Plan Goal #3: Construct infrastructure improvements in low-income neighborhoods;  Consolidated Plan Goal #4: Provide Fair Housing services for low-and moderate-income residents;  Consolidated Plan Goal #5: Support small business success; and  Consolidated Plan Goal #6: Preservation of Affordable housing stock.

No more than 15% of the annual allocation may be spent on public services. Additionally, the City is limited to no more than 20% each year for general program administration such as required reporting to HUD, addressing fair housing issues, conducting environmental reviews of CDBG funded projects, or for planning activities such as developing the Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan, and required fair housing studies.

For the 2024 federal fiscal year, the City must complete a new Annual Action Plan, following the process outlined in the City's Citizen Participation Plan. The following is a tentative schedule for development of the 2024 Annual Action Plan:

Task Date
Public Hearing #1 before the Economic Development and Housing Commission to announce 2024 CDBG funding availability 01/24/24
Presentation to the Parks, Recreation, and Intergenerational Services Commission 02/06/24 Draft 2024 Annual Action Plan available for public comment 03/01/24- 04/01/24
Presentation before the City Council to receive comments on the 2024 Annual Action Plan Draft 03/20/24
914
CDBG Annual Action Plan
March 20, 2024

Task Date
Public Hearing #2 before the City Council to approve the Annual Action Plan prior to adoption 05/01/24
Annual Action Plan due to HUD 05/14/24

ANALYSIS
HUD encourages jurisdictions to focus CDBG funds on activities that will provide a significant impact, rather than spreading funds around in a “scatter shot” manner. The impact of CDBG can be further enhanced by using funds to leverage other local, State or federal sources. The federal CDBG program is a flexible funding source which allows Entitlement jurisdictions to use the money for a wide range of activities including, but not limited to:
 Acquisition and/or rehabilitation of affordable housing (new housing construction is not allowed).  Acquisition, construction or rehabilitation of public facilities serving low-income persons (e.g. parks, youth centers, health clinics or homeless shelters).
 Construction or rehabilitation of public infrastructure that serves low-income residential units or neighborhoods (e.g. sewer lines or street improvements).  Public services are limited to low-income residents (e.g. homeless programs, youth programs, services for the elderly).
 Economic development activities that create jobs for low-income persons (e.g. business loans) or assistance to low-income microenterprise business owners.  General administration and planning studies for CDBG eligible projects.

HUD has not announced funding for program year 2024 but the City anticipates receiving an allocation similar to 2023 program year of $518,743 for the fourth year of the 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan. Additional resources for the 2024 Annual Action Plan will include $250,000 in anticipated program income. Program income is received by the City as past CDBG loans are repaid, or payments are received.

It is important to note that Consolidated Plan goals are planned to be fulfilled during the entirety of the five-year period and not all with CDBG funds. Additionally, given the limited CDBG funds received by the City not every goal may be fulfilled. The draft 2024 Annual Action Plan (Attachment 2) recommends the following activities and funding allocations:

$103,749
Homeless Emergency Housing Rehabilitation Project
Up to $461,496 will be used to support rehabilitation needs for the City’s homeless emergency housing programs.

In December 2020, the City acquired the 40-unit Rodeway Inn to house homeless individuals susceptible to the COVID-19 pandemic. The site provides non-congregate interim housing for persons experiencing homelessness with a goal of getting program participants stabilized and moved into permanent housing. In May 2023, the City expanded its homeless emergency housing offering by acquiring the 21-unit Flamingo Motel. The site also provides non-congregate interim housing for persons experiencing homelessness with a goal of getting program participants into permanent housing. The homeless emergency housing programs at the former Rodeway Inn and Flamingo Motel are expected to terminate in December 2025 and June 2026, respectively (see Attachment 3 for Location Map). Staff is currently in negotiations for the purchase of two additional motel properties for an initial expansion and ultimate longer-term operation of the homeless emergency housing programs. The City anticipates receiving funding for a portion of acquisition and operation costs from the Behavioral Health Bridge Housing (BHBH) Program from Yolo County. Both sites would also provide non-congregate interim housing for persons experiencing homelessness with a goal of getting program participants into permanent housing. 915 CDBG Annual Action Plan
March 20, 2024

All four sites have different levels of building rehabilitation needs. Staff anticipates that the new motel locations will require moderate levels of rehabilitation to ensure the health and safety of program participants and proper program operation. Rehabilitation needs may include, but not be limited to, full electrical system upgrade, full or partial roof repair or replacement, heating/cooling unit replacements, exterior painting, parking lot resurfacing and installation of safety/security equipment such as lighting and cameras. CDBG funds for any rehabilitation work at the new motels would be leveraged with Yolo County BHBH Program funds. The Rodeway Inn and Flamingo Motel sites have gone through some rehabilitation, including roof replacement, sewer line repairs and security system upgrades, but may require additional repairs before the programs terminate.

Homekey Supportive Services at 817 West Capitol Avenue
Up to $99,749 will be used to support the case management contract for the Homekey program at the former Rodeway Inn motel. The City is limited to no more than 15% of its annual allocation and program income for social services activities. In December 2020, the City purchased the 40-unit Rodeway Inn to serve homeless individuals susceptible to the COVID-19 virus. The City used CDBG program income, CDBG CARES Act (CDBGCV), local Measure E funds, federal Coronavirus Relief Funds and State of California Homekey Program funds to provide non-congregate interim housing for persons experiencing homelessness. The goal of the Homekey Program is to get program participants stabilized and moved into permanent housing. It is anticipated that the project will serve 60 homeless households in 2024/2025.

General Administration and Planning
Up to $103,749 will be used for program administration activities including reporting to HUD, conducting environmental review of CDBG funded projects, planning activities such as developing the Annual Action Plan, and affirmatively furthering fair housing by providing fair housing counseling services to residents of West Sacramento. The City is limited to no more than 20% of its annual allocation and program income for general program administration.

Environmental Considerations
Activities receiving CDBG funding must satisfy all National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements. HUD requires the City to complete all required NEPA/CEQA reviews prior to initiating any grant activity.

Commission Recommendation
In January and February 2024, staff held presentations at the Economic Development and Housing (EDH) Commission and Parks, Recreation, and Intergenerational Services (PRIS) Commission, respectively, to announce the availability of CDBG funds and obtain feedback for funding recommendations. The EDH Commission recommended programs that centered on Youth Homelessness, Low-income Households and Small Business Assistance. In addition, Commissioners expressed concerns about public sector funds being used and benefiting a private landowner. The EDH Commission asked if staff considered other projects that fulfilled a national objective and leveraged other funds. The EDH Commission unanimously voted to approve the motion to apply for the Section 108 loan program.

The PRIS Commission asked about using CDBG funding for mental health and how CDBG funds could be used to meet the Slums and Blight national objective. Commissioners also asked about the process of selecting projects with CDBG funding. In addition, Commissioners inquired about the Section 108 Loan Program, which was originally contemplated to fund construction of the Washington Neighborhood Sidewalk, Lighting and Landscape Improvement Program. Commissioners recommended that staff include the anticipated borrowing amount and the total cost of financing the project for City Council. Staff has placed the Section 108 Loan Program recommendation on hold until the project clears environmental review. Lastly, Commissioners recommended using CDBG funds for existing City programs such as the Aces After School Program.

The City currently operates two homeless emergency housing programs at 817 West Capitol Avenue (Homekey Program) and 920 West Capitol Avenue. Staff anticipates that homeless emergency housing operations at both sites will terminate at the end of 2025 or early 2026 and the two sites will be prepared for redevelopment. In an effort to plan for a transition of program participants, staff is pursuing the acquisition of additional motel properties Strategic Plan Integration
CDBG funding is a critical component of the City’s mission to provide quality municipal services, infrastructure, community improvements, financially sound city government and a superior workforce. Completion of the 2021- 2025 Consolidated Plan was a 2023 Strategic Plan Top Priority Management Agenda item. 916
CDBG Annual Action Plan
March 20, 2024

Alternatives
The following alternatives are submitted for the Council’s consideration:

1. Elect not to provide comments/direction to staff. This is not recommended because the Citizen Participation Plan requires Council comment and involvement throughout the Annual Action Plan process.

2. Continue the meeting to a future meeting date. This is not recommended as staff must maintain the provided schedule to complete the draft Annual Action Plan by May 14, 2024.

Coordination and Review
This report and the funding recommendations were coordinated with Capital Projects staff who manage the implementation of the Washington Neighborhood Sidewalk, Lighting and Landscaping Improvement Project .

Budget/Cost Impact
The City anticipates receiving an estimated $518,743 in CDBG funding for 2024. Annual allocations of CDBG funds are contingent upon the HUD budget as approved by congress. Additional resources for the 2024 Annual Action Plan will also include $250,000 in anticipated program income. Program income is received by the City as past CDBG loans are repaid, or payments are received.

Executive Summary

1. Introduction
The City of West Sacramento (City) became eligible to receive federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in Fiscal Year 2016/17. In accordance with HUD regulations, the City developed a five-year Consolidated Plan examining the needs of low-income persons and neighborhoods and setting goals for the use of CDBG funding. The consolidated planning process honors community connections established during previous outreach efforts and builds upon the community concerns voiced during the citizen participation process. The consolidated plan process included: a review of previously collected data, recent census data and other available data; citizen input received from focus groups; presentations to City Commissions, the City Council and interested groups; and three public hearings. The City of West Sacramento's 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan was adopted by the West Sacramento City Council on April 21, 2021, and approved by HUD. The 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan identified six goals to be addressed within the five-year period:
 Consolidated Plan Goal #1: Address the supportive services needs of persons experiencing homelessness and those at risk of homelessness;
 Consolidated Plan Goal #2: Create low barrier housing opportunities for persons experiencing homelessness and extremely low-income households;
 Consolidated Plan Goal #3: Construct infrastructure improvements in low-income neighborhoods;  Consolidated Plan Goal #4: Provide Fair Housing services for low-and moderate-income residents;  Consolidated Plan Goal #5: Support small business success; and  Consolidated Plan Goal #6: Preservation of Affordable housing stock.

For each year of the Consolidated Plan, the City must develop an Annual Action Plan (Action Plan) detailing how CDBG funds will be used to meet the overall goals of the Consolidated Plan. Once an Annual Action Plan is adopted, the federal CDBG Entitlement funding from HUD is distributed to the City on a fiscal-year basis (July-June). At the beginning of each program year (PY), the City is allocated its yearly award and required to use its funds as prescribed within that year's Annual Action Plan.

2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan This could be a restatement of items, or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan.

The Action Plan serves as an outline of the City’s intent to pursue the overall goals of HUD’s community development and planning programs, including:
 Provide decent and quality housing;
 To establish and maintain a suitable living environment; and  To expand economic revitalization opportunities.

The Action Plan also serves as:
919
Annual Action Plan 2
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
 A planning document for the City, based on a participatory process;  An annual application for federal funds under HUD’s formula CDBG grant program; and  A strategy for administering HUD programs; and
 A plan that provides a basis for assessing performance.

Additionally, the 2024 Action Plan will prescribe how the current year's funding will further the goals outlined within the City's 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan. The 2024 Action Plan will provide funding for activities that further the following goals:
 Consolidated Plan Goal #1: Address the supportive services needs of persons experiencing homelessness and those at risk of homelessness;
 Consolidated Plan Goal #2: Create low barrier housing opportunities for persons experiencing homelessness and extremely low-income households; and
 Consolidated Plan Goal #4: Provide Fair Housing services for low-and moderate-income residents

3. Evaluation of past performance
This is an evaluation of past performance that helped lead the grantee to choose its goals or projects.

Since becoming eligible for the Federal Entitlement program, the City's CDBG allocations have been used to support projects that have furthered the goals outlined within the 2016-2020 Consolidated Plan:
 Consolidated Plan Goal #1 (High Priority): Reduce the incidence and impact of homelessness.  Consolidated Plan Goal #2 (High Priority): Achieve goals in the HUD Challenge Grant funded Washington Realized:

A Sustainable Community Strategy.
 Consolidated Plan Goal #3 (Low Priority): Strengthen economic opportunities for lower-income households.  Consolidated Plan Goal #4 (Low Priority): Affirmatively further fair housing compliance.

A summary of those projects is outlined below by program year.

Program Year 2017 & 2018 Projects
 Permanent Supportive Housing: The 2017 and 2018 Action Plans allocated funding to help acquire property suitable for the development of an initial minimum of 20 units of housing targeted to persons experiencing homelessness and persons at-risk of homelessness. The City partnered with Mercy Housing California to acquire a site to support up to 85 units of permanent supportive housing that would offer low barriers to entry and onsite supportive services to those targeted persons. The Mercy Housing PSH project was completed in December 2021 and remains 100% occupied. This project is in support of addressing Consolidated Plan Goal #1 (High Priority): Reduce the incidence and impact of homelessness.

Program Year 2019 Project
 Washington Public Infrastructure Improvements: The 2019 Action Plan allocated funding support frontage improvements along E and F Streets between Sixth and Fifth Streets to allow for improved ADA accessibility to access public transportation, local parks, and riverfront trails within the Washington Neighborhood. This project is in support of Consolidated Plan Goal #2: Achieve goals in the HUD Challenge Grant funded Washington Realized:

A Sustainable Community Strategy.
920
Annual Action Plan 3
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Program Year 2020 & 2021 Project
 Homekey Program: In an effort to assist the homeless amid the COVID-19 pandemic, City Council authorized acquisition of the 40-unit Rodeway Inn motel. The acquisition of the Rodeway Inn was made possible with funds from the State Homekey Program, This project was in support of Consolidated Plan Goal #1 to reduce the incidence and impact of homelessness.

Additionally, the City allocates a portion of its General Administration and Planning cap to fund activities that affirmatively further fair housing. This allocation set aside has been used to participate in the development of a Sacramento regional Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing and fund a contract with a fair housing services consultant to provide fair housing outreach, counseling, education, testing, enforcement, and landlord/tenant dispute resolution. These services are offered to reduce discrimination and the incidence of homelessness due to avoidable evictions. These activities are in support of addressing Consolidated Plan Goal #4 (Low Priority): Affirmatively further fair housing compliance.

At the end of each program year, the City is required to complete a Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER). This annual report is required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). More on the City's evaluation of past performance can be found within these reports. These annual reports are available for public review on the City of West Sacramento's website and copies are available at City Hall (1110 West Capitol Avenue; West Sacramento, CA 95691).

Program Year 2022 Project
Microenterprise Assistance: The 2019 Action Plan allocated funding to provide a microenterprise technical assistance program for low- to moderate-income individuals who currently own or are actively working towards developing a business that is expected to be a microenterprise at the time it is formed. This goal is in support of Consolidated Plan Goal #3 (Low Priority): Strengthen economic opportunities for lower-income households. The City entered a contract with the California Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (CHCC) to administer the program. Due to the COVID pandemic, the program was delayed but the CHCC was able to initiate services in 2022. The program provided a thorough business development and financial literacy process for participants. As a result, a total of 24 business development workshops were conducted in English and Spanish and 17 small businesses received technical assistance services.

Program Year 2023 Projects
River Walk Trail: The 2016 Action Plan allocated funding for design and engineering for improvements to the River Walk Trail from the I Street Bridge north to the Broderick Boat Ramp, located in the Washington Neighborhood (Census Tract 101.01). This project will provide a bike/pedestrian route and ADA improvements to activate the riverfront and allow residents in the Washington neighborhood access to a viable option to reach the job centers in downtown Sacramento without using a motor vehicle. This project was in support of addressing Consolidated Plan Goal #2: Achieve goals in the HUD Challenge Grant funded Washington Realized: A Sustainable Community Strategy. This project was completed in August 2023.

4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process Summary from citizen participation section of plan.

The City's Economic Development and Housing (EDH) Commission conducted a public hearing on January 24, 2024, to announce the availability of Program Year (PY) 2024 CDBG funding and to receive public comments regarding possible activities for funding. On February 6, 2024, a presentation was made to the City's Parks, Recreation and Intergenerational 921
Annual Action Plan 4
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Services (PRIS) Commission to receive Commission feedback regarding possible activities for funding. On May 1, 2024, the City Council will conduct a final public hearing to review the Annual Action plan prior to its adoption and provide authorization for submission to HUD for approval.

The draft Action Plan will be made available to the public for a 30-day review period starting March 1, 2024 and ending April 1, 2024. All public hearings and noticing periods were properly noticed in the West Sacramento News-Ledger and emailed to interested individuals and agencies including the Yolo County Homeless and Poverty Action Coalition (HPAC), which acts as the local Continuum of Care, and the Bryte and Broderick Community Action Network (BBCAN).

5. Summary of public comments
This could be a brief narrative summary or reference an attached document from the Citizen Participation section of the Con Plan.

6. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them All comments received through the citizen participation process are evaluated and closely considered by staff. CDBG funds are limited and not sufficient to fund all projects discussed during public hearings and other community outreach efforts.

Many suggested activities are eligible for other funding such as Yolo County CalWorks and the City's newly adopted Measure E which will provide funds for homeless services and projects. Projects proposed for 2024 funding will support the City's 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan and address the most significant needs identified during the citizen participation process.

7. Summary
Citizen participation is critical to the CDBG planning process to identity the most pressing needs of lower-income neighborhoods and persons. The City's 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan citizen participation process included extensive outreach to individuals, non-profit organizations, social service agencies and governmental agencies to ensure the most effective use of scarce local resources to affect long-term, substantial change in the lives of lower-income residents of West Sacramento. The citizen participation process for the 2024 Annual Action Plan builds on the consolidated planning process and exceeds the requirements in the City's Citizen Participation Plan.

All comments received through the citizen participation process are evaluated and closely considered by staff. CDBG funds are limited and not sufficient to fund all projects discussed during public hearings and other community outreach efforts.

Many suggested activities are eligible for other funding such as Yolo County CalWorks and the City's newly adopted Measure E which will provide funds for homeless services and projects. Projects proposed for 2023 funding will support the City's 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan and address the most significant needs identified during the citizen participation process.

1. Introduction
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(l))
The City of West Sacramento Citizen Participation Plan outlines the process for development of the Action Plan. At a minimum, the City must:
 Conduct at least two public hearings;
 Provide presentations to the Economic Development and Housing Commission and the Parks, Recreation and Intergenerational Services Commission; and  Draft an Annual Action Plan and make it available for public review and comment for a 30-day period prior to adoption.

Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.

The City is an active participant in the Yolo County Homeless and Poverty Action Coalition (HPAC), which acts as the local Continuum of Care, along with the Yolo County Department of Health and Human Services, the Housing Authority of Yolo County (Yolo County Housing), the U.S. Veteran’s Administration and local health, and mental health and service provider agencies. City staff attends monthly HPAC meetings and is a voting member. Additionally, a City Council member sits on the Yolo County 10-Year Homeless Plan Executive Committee, which oversees county-wide homeless efforts.

The City of West Sacramento is signatory to the ten-year plan entitled “One Piece at a Time: Ending and Preventing Homelessness for Yolo County Residents” available at www.yolocounty.org.

The City employs a full-time Homeless Outreach Coordinator who provides outreach, referrals and case management to homeless individuals; and acts as the City’s liaison with Yolo County and homeless service providers. The City is very involved with local developers of affordable housing. A member of the City Council sits on the Yolo County Housing Authority Advisory Board and City staff are available to provide technical assistance as needed to developers. The City has provided financial assistance to a number of affordable housing developers over the years. Recent examples include the development of West Gateway Place, a partnership between Jamboree Housing and the West Sacramento Housing Development Corporation. West Gateway Place Phase 1 opened in February 2017 with 76 affordable apartment homes. The City provided $8.11 million in permanent financing, which includes $1.1 million of State CDBG program income for public infrastructure needed to support the project. A second phase is under development and City staff are working closely with the developer to develop the project. The City has committed over $10 million for WGP II, including HOME Program Income Funds, Housing Trust Funds and a land carry back loan. The project is anticipated to close escrow in March 2023 and break ground in April 2023. Additionally, the City partnered with Mercy Housing California to develop an 85 units permanent supportive housing project. The City contributed over $3 million in gap financing, including 924
Annual Action Plan 7
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
CDBG funds and Housing Trust Funds. The PSH project was completed in December 2021 and is 100% occupied.

Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS
City staff participate in the local Continuum of Care known as the Yolo County Homeless and Poverty Action Coalition (HPAC) to ensure that all homeless activities are coordinated with local service providers, the Yolo County Department of Health and Human Services, the Housing Authority of Yolo County and other community partners.

The City shares in the cost for the Yolo County Homeless Coordinator position, along with Yolo County and the Cities of Davis, Woodland and Winters. There are no emergency shelters located in West Sacramento, however the City provides funding to Fourth and Hope, an emergency shelter in Woodland serving many homeless persons originating from West Sacramento. In 2013, the City assisted Friends of the Mission, a non-profit organization associated with Fourth and Hope, to acquire and rehabilitate four units of permanent supportive housing for formerly homeless persons using NSP3 funding received from the State of California. In the mid-1990s, the City provided State CDBG funding to Shores of Hope (formerly United Christian Centers of Sacramento) for the acquisition and rehabilitation of an 11-unit transitional housing facility which now serves transitional aged homeless youth.

For many years, the City has hosted the quarterly Northern California Homeless Roundtable fostering education and collaboration for service providers throughout the region. As noted above, the City is signatory to the ten-year plan entitled “One Piece at a Time: Ending and Preventing Homelessness for Yolo County Residents” adopted in 2009. The City is assisting with a revision of this document to focus on a coordinated entry system for all agencies and programs assisting homeless persons in Yolo County.

The City employs a full-time Homeless Outreach Coordinator who provides outreach, case management, referrals and housing search assistance to at-risk and homeless persons. The Homeless Coordinator is part of a Community Intervention Program, a joint partnership between the City's Police Department and the Yolo County Health and Human Services Department facilitating referrals to services such as medical, mental health, social security, food stamps, substance abuse treatment, financial assistance and job counseling.

Yolo County Plan to Address Homelessness –
January 2019
Yolo County The 2024 Annual Action Plan is consistent
with the Yolo County Plan to Address
Homelessness completed by Yolo County in
2019. Through a set of stakeholder
interviews, consumer focus group, and
community meetings the Plan identified four
key issue areas to focus on in developing
solutions and action steps to improve the

Expected Resources
AP-15 Expected Resources – 91.220(c)(1,2)
Introduction
HUD awarded $518,743 in federal Entitlement CDBG funds to the City of West Sacramento for fiscal year 2024/2025. The City estimates receiving $100,000 in program income and $100,000 in prior year resources from CDBG funded activities completed. In addition, the City has obligated a portion of CDBG General Admin to the provision of fair housing services. These amounts are not included in the Anticipated Resources table below.

The following funding also is available for housing activities: $2,000,000 of State of California HOME program income; $387,731 of State of California CalHome program income; and $2,497,406 in the City of West Sacramento Housing Trust Fund. It is anticipated that much of this money will be used towards the development of affordable housing at West Gateway Place Phase 2.

Table 1 - Expected Resources – Priority Table
Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
936
The CDBG program does not require matching funds. However, the City of West Sacramento strives to leverage federal funding with State, local and private sources. As noted above, the City also has State CalHome program income of $387,731 and $2,497,406 of local funds in the City’s Housing Trust Fund. It is anticipated that much of this money will be used towards the development of affordable housing at West Gateway Place Phase 2. The City uses local funds including General Fund and Measure N to pay for the City’s Homeless Coordinator and towards a portion of the salary of the Yolo County Homeless Coordinator and overhead at the Fourth and Hope homeless shelter.

In recent years, the City has used Project Homekey funds (a combination of federal and State funds for COVID-19 relief) to purchase a 40-unit motel and converted it to interim housing for homeless persons over age 65 or with health issues placing them at high risk of the COVID-19 virus.

The City provided land for the Mercy Housing 8- unit permanent supportive housing project, in addition to local Housing Trust Funds and CDBG funds in support of the development. The City assisted with applications for a State of California No Place Like Home grant, and private foundation donations from Sutter Health and Partnership Health Plan of California. Yolo County Housing provided 40 project-based vouchers to the project. 937
If appropriate, describe publically owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan
The City owned a parcel at 825 Delta Lane which it partially sold to the developer of the West Gateway Place affordable housing phase 1 for the development of 77 units of affordable housing. The West Gateway Place project was completed in 2016. The City sold the remaining portion of the parcel to the developer for West Gateway Place Phase II, which will produce 60 units of affordable multifamily housing.

The project broke ground in the Summer of 2023 and is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2024.

The City provided both land and CDBG funds in support of the development of an 85-unit permanent supportive housing project at 1801 West Capitol Avenue for homeless persons with disabilities. The project, a collaboration between Mercy Housing and Yolo County Housing, will operate on a low-barrier entry housing first model. The project was completed and housed in full capacity in December 2021.

In October 2023, the City released the Grand Gateway Request for Proposals. The Grand Gateway is an

8.6-acre site owned by the City that is envisioned with high density, mixed-use infill development. The Grand Gateway will include an affordable housing component. City staff are currently in negotiation with a private developer for the development of the 8-acre site.

Most of the remaining City owned parcels are not appropriate for residential or facility development due to location, size constraints or contamination issues. However, the City will continue to seek usable sites, when available.

Discussion
The City's federal Entitlement CDBG funds are only a portion of total funding allocated to serving the needs of low-income residents and neighborhoods. CDBG funds are allocated to projects where the funding can be used most efficiently, while more flexible funding sources are used for other critical service and infrastructure needs.

Project Summary Information
Up to $461,496 will be used to support rehabilitation needs for the City’s homeless emergency housing programs. In December 2020, the City acquired the 40-unit Rodeway Inn to house homeless individuals susceptible to the COVID-19 pandemic. The site is providing non-congregate interim housing for persons experiencing homelessness with a goal of getting program participants stabilized and moved into permanent housing. In May 2023, the City expanded its homeless emergency housing offering by acquiring the 21-unit Flamingo Motel. The site also provides non-congregate interim housing for persons experiencing homelessness with a goal of getting program participants into permanent housing. The homeless emergency housing programs at the former Rodeway Inn and Flamingo Motel are expected to terminate in December 2025 and June 2026, respectively. Staff is currently in negotiations to purchase additional sites for an initial expansion and ultimate longer-term operation of the homeless emergency housing programs. The City would receive some acquisition and operations funding from the Behavioral Health Bridge Housing (BHBH) Program from Yolo County. Both sites would also provide non-congregate interim housing for persons experiencing homelessness with a goal of getting program participants into permanent housing.

All four sites at a different levels of rehabilitation needs. Staff anticipates that additional sites will require moderate levels of rehabilitation to ensure the health and safety of program participants and proper program operation. Rehabilitation needs may include, but not be limited to, full electrical system upgrade, full or partial roof repair or replacement, heating/cooling unit replacements, exterior painting, parking lot resurfacing and installation of safety/security equipment such as lighting and cameras. CDBG funds for any rehabilitation work at any additional sites would be levered with Yolo County BHBH Program funds. The Rodeway Inn and Flamingo Motel sites have gone through some rehabilitation, including roof replacement, sewer line repairs and security system upgrades, but may require additional repairs before the programs terminate.

Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed
Minority populations are disbursed throughout the City and the Analysis of Impediments concludes that there are no Census Tracts that meet the HUD definition of a racially or ethnically concentrated areas of poverty (R/ECAP). However, there are Census Tracts with relatively higher concentrations of minority residents, based on the 2019 ACS. Racial disbursement in Census Tract 102.01 and 102.04 is close to the average found throughout the City. However, Census Tract 102.01 has a higher percentage of White households at 71%, compared to the entire City at 55%. Additionally, Census Tract 102.04 has a higher percentage of Hispanic residents at 42%, compared to the entire City at 32%.

Table 4 - Geographic Distribution
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically Geographic location was not the primary basis when allocating 2024 CDBG funds. Census Tract 102.01 and 102.04 are adjacent to each other. Funds were allocated to support the City’s Homeless Initiatives, specifically the Homeless Emergency Housing programs that are located at former motel sites. Location of motel sites that have been acquired by the City are based on prior owner’s willingness to enter into purchase and sale agreements with the City. All motel sites are located along West Capitol Avenue, which is the City’s main corridor. Two motel sites are located on the East end of West Capitol Avenue, the two remaining motel sites are more centrally located on West Capitol Avenue.

Discussion
Racial disbursements in Census Tracts 102.01 and 102.04 are close to the average racial disbursement citywide. However, Census Tract 102.01 has a higher percentage of White household at 71% compared to 55% citywide. Census Tract 102.04 has a very similar percentage of white households at 59% compared to 55% citywide. Census Tract 102.01 has a lower percentage of Two or More Races at 9% compared to 16% citywide. Lastly, Census Tract 102.04 has a higher percentage of Hispanic households at 42% compared to 32% citywide. The City has made or will be making considerable improvements to all sites, which will help improve the immediate areas. 945
Affordable Housing
AP-55 Affordable Housing – 91.220(g)
Introduction
In California, the most significant barrier to affordable housing development is the cost of housing relative to household income. Bridging the gap between the two requires a considerable amount of subsidy. The City of West Sacramento has developed housing policies to encourage the development of affordable housing for lower-income residents. Despite the City’s policies, development of affordable housing is a lengthy and costly process. Multiple funding sources are usually must be “layered” for each project.

Conflicting requirements between the various funding sources can result in costly delays and escalating construction costs. The cost of land, land use restrictions, development impact fees, environmental analysis and mitigation, federal and State prevailing wage also have an impact on the cost of development.

AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h)
Introduction
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing Yolo County Housing has applied for the HUD Rental Assistance Demonstration program (RAD) to preserve affordable housing in the jurisdiction. As part of the application process, Yolo County Housing has received a Commitment to Enter into a Housing Assistance Payment contract from HUD. RAD, or a similar repositioning strategy as approved by HUD, will allow the housing authority to convert public housing into a more sustainable financial framework and enable the agency to address deferred maintenance needs of the properties. In addition, repositioning allows for the public housing projects to transition into mixed income developments where feasible.

Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
Yolo County Housing administers a Family Self Sufficiency Program that enables HUD-assisted families to increase their earned income and reduce their dependency on welfare assistance and rental subsidies.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
The City of West Sacramento is an active member of the Yolo County Homeless and Poverty Action Coalition (HPAC), the local Continuum of Care organization. The City works with HPAC member agencies to provide outreach, assessment, case management, supportive services, interim housing and permanent supportive housing for at-risk and chronically homeless individuals and families.

Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
The City’s Homeless Coordinator is embedded in the Police Department and works closely with Yolo County and other service providers to address the needs of persons experiencing homelessness in West Sacramento. The Homeless Coordinator primarily works “in the field” and often makes first contact with unsheltered individuals and families. The Coordinator is tasked with intake assessments, referrals to needed services, case management, and assistance with gaining permanent housing situations. Homeless families with children are referred to Yolo County CalWORKs program to access the services and assistance they provide. Individuals without children do not qualify for CalWORKs and are the focus of the Homeless Coordinator’s case management services.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City of West Sacramento has taken a multi-modal approach to addressing the impact of homelessness. As noted above, the City’s Homeless Coordinator is the first point of contact for most persons experiencing homelessness. In addition, the City funds a portion of the Yolo County Homeless Coordinator position and pays towards overhead at the Fourth and Hope Homeless Shelter in Woodland (formerly known as the Yolo Wayfarer Center). Many of the shelter’s residents originate from West Sacramento. Shores of Hope (formerly known as Broderick Christian Center) operates 11 units of interim housing in West Sacramento for youth transitioning out of foster care or who have been victims of trafficking. The City purchased, rehabilitated and gave the units to Shores of Hope in the 1990s.

In partnership with Yolo County, the City purchased the 40-unit Rodeway Inn to serve homeless individuals susceptible to the COVID-19 virus in 2020. The City used CDBG program income, CDBG-CV and State of California Homekey funds to provide non-congregate interim housing for persons experiencing homelessness who are in high-risk categories.

Staff is currently in negotiations to acquire additional sites for an initial expansion and ultimate longerterm operation of the homeless emergency housing programs. The City would receive some acquisition and operations funding from the Behavioral Health Bridge Housing (BHBH) Program from Yolo County.

Both sites would also provide non-congregate interim housing for persons experiencing homelessness with a goal of getting program participants into permanent housing Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with 949
children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
In addition to the City's Homeless Coordinator noted above, the Yolo Family Resource Center (FRC) assists individuals and families to access the support and resources needed to encourage health, stability and self-sufficiency. The FRC operates a HUD funded Rapid-Rehousing program to help at risk individuals and families avoid becoming homeless. Shores of Hope provides employment counseling, and job training to extremely low-income persons. Member agencies of HPAC (the Continuum of Care) work closely with institutions to minimize the incidence of discharge into a homeless situation.

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely lowincome individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs.

In addition, a portion of 2024 CDBG funding was allocated towards fair housing services that included counseling and landlord/tenant dispute resolution services to provide a complementary approach towards achieving the goal of reducing the incidence of homelessness. Resolving issues between vulnerable households and their landlords before they escalate to the point of an eviction can help many to maintain housing security.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:

In California, the most significant barrier to affordable housing development is the cost of housing relative to household income. Bridging the gap between the two requires a considerable amount of subsidy. The City of West Sacramento has developed housing policies to encourage the development of affordable housing. Despite the City’s policies, development of affordable housing is a lengthy and costly process.

Multiple funding sources are usually must be “layered” for each project. Conflicting requirements between the various funding sources can result in costly delays and escalating construction costs. Land use restrictions, development impact fees, environmental analysis and mitigation, federal and State prevailing wage also have an impact on the cost of development.

Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment
The cost of land, development and construction is the most difficult barrier to the creation of affordable housing in West Sacramento. To address this barrier, the City created a Housing Trust fund that has provided financial assistance to 161 units of affordable housing since inception in 2014. Additional Housing Trust Fund money has been committed to the development of 60 units of affordable housing at the West Gateway Place Phase 2 project. City staff provide support to developers of affordable housing and assist with federal and State funding applications if needed.

In 2014, the City adopted an inclusionary housing ordinance that requires developers of multifamily projects to make 5% of units affordable to Very Low-Income households and 5% to Low-Income Households. For sale projects must make 10% of units available to Low-Income Households. Inclusionary units are generally required to be built onsite and disbursed to avoid over-concentration. The ordinance allows developers to propose an alternative such as payment of in-lieu fees to be placed in the City’s Housing Trust Fund.

The City’s zoning ordinance provides for a wide range of housing to meet the needs of households across a broad spectrum of income levels. The ordinance allows residential development in both residential and commercially zoned areas. Four residential zoning designations allow single family development by right, one allows it with a minor use permit, and one allows with a conditional use permit. Three residential zoning designations allow multifamily development by right. The Central Business District, Commercial, Mixed-Use and Waterfront zoning designations allow residential development. The City provides a “density bonus” which encourages the production of lower-income and senior housing.

Discussion:

The City is currently in the process of updating the Housing Element to the General Plan. The Housing Element to the General Plan addresses housing needs, affordability, availability, condition of housing stock and constraints to housing development. The 2021 Housing Element Update focuses on the concept of fostering “complete communities” that link housing with access to public and private services, jobs and a variety of mobility choices. The Housing Element Update encourages community design supporting active lifestyles and social interaction.

One of the primary obstacles to meeting underserved needs of residents is the availability of funding. The City actively seeks additional funding opportunities and will continue to do so when funds are available.

The City collaborates with private, non-profit and governmental partners to maximize benefits to needy and vulnerable residents.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The most significant need in West Sacramento is housing affordable to the lowest income residents. The City’s inclusionary housing ordinance requires developers of multifamily projects to make 5% of units affordable to Very Low-Income households and 5% to Low-Income Households. For sale projects must make 10% of units available to Low-Income Households. Inclusionary units are generally required to be built onsite and disbursed to avoid over-concentration. The ordinance allows developers to propose an alternative such as payment of in-lieu fees to be placed in the City’s Housing Trust Fund.

The City’s zoning ordinance provides for a wide range of housing to meet the needs of households across a broad spectrum of income levels. The ordinance allows residential development in both residential and commercially zoned areas. Four residential zoning designations allow single family development by right, one allows it with a minor use permit, and one allows with a conditional use permit. Three residential zoning designations allow multifamily development by right. The Central Business District, Commercial, Mixed-Use and Waterfront zoning designations allow residential development. The City provides a “density bonus” which encourages the production of lower-income and senior housing.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City works closely with developers of affordable housing interested in creating new housing opportunities in West Sacramento. The City has obligated $2,000,000 of State of California HOME program income and $3,100,000 in local funds from the Housing Trust Fund for future development of affordable housing.

The City’s Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program provides assistance to Low- and ModerateIncome homeowners to maintain their homes.

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The City requires all construction assisted with CDBG or other federal housing funds to comply with HUD lead-based paint hazard reduction requirements. Over the years, the City has provided assistance to 227 lower-income homeowners through the Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program. Homes of an age that places them at-risk of lead-based pain contamination are provided testing and abatement assistance, when appropriate. At this time, the City does not have funding for the program, but anticipates securing a funding source and reinstating the program during the five-term term of this plan.

The City provides support and technical assistance to owners of affordable multifamily units seeking financing for rehabilitation of their properties. The City applies for funding on behalf of an affordable project or will provide local funds when available. Lead-based paint testing and abatement are funded, when appropriate.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families As an active member of the Yolo County Homeless and Poverty Action Coalition (HPAC), the City supports non-profit, for-profit, governmental and faith-based organizations providing services to the neediest residents of the community. Each year, the City provides funding towards the salary of county staff assigned to administer HPAC and to homeless shelter at Fourth & Hope located in Woodland.

In 2019, the City participated with HPAC, Yolo County, and the cities of Davis, Woodland and Winters to develop the Yolo County Plan to Address Homelessness. The plan establishes a set of solutions to improve and expand the system of care across the county which focuses on strengthening the homeless crisis response system with an emphasis on developing prevention services; increasing affordable housing options for the most vulnerable; stabilizing and maintaining physical and behavioral health for those with the highest needs; and examining systems-level coordination and identifying opportunities for improved partnership.

The West Sacramento Homerun program provides access to high-quality learning for children of all income levels and financial assistance for post-secondary education and training. The Summer STEPS program has been integrated into the Homerun and provides opportunities for youth to develop valuable workplace skills. The goal of the Homerun program is to prepare youth to enter adulthood with the skills needed to obtain meaningful employment, start new businesses and raise thriving families in West Sacramento
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City of West Sacramento is a participating member of the Yolo County Homeless and Poverty Action Coalition (HPAC). The HPAC provides leadership on homeless issues and acts as the Continuum of Care (CoC) for West Sacramento, Davis, Woodland, Winters and the unincorporated portions of Yolo County.

HUD tasks the CoC to promote community-wide planning and strategic use of resources to address the many needs of homeless individuals and families. The HPAC is working towards a more structured governance model to ensure that homeless service agencies continue to receive HUD funding. The City will remain a voting member under the new CoC structure and will continue to be an active supporter of HPAC efforts.

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
The City will continue to be an active participant in the Yolo County Homeless and Poverty Action Coalition (HPAC) as it facilitates coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies serving lower-income and homeless individuals and families. The City's Homeless Coordinator acts as a liaison between the City's housing programs, the Police Department, Yolo County Department of Health and Human Services and other social service agencies. The Homeless Coordinator is co-located at the Police Department, just across the street from Yolo County offices, to expedite referrals to needed services and 953
to coordinate service delivery.

Discussion:

The City of West Sacramento participated in the Sacramento Valley Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI), a planning process for local governments and public housing agencies to take meaningful actions to overcome historic patterns of segregation, promote fair housing choice, and foster inclusive communities that are free from discrimination. The City will provide CDBG funds to provide fair housing counseling and education as recommended in the study. 954
