6. Quality Assurance Plan Objective:

The purpose of this QAP is to identify the schedule of all required reviews, technical design, and review criteria, QA Review Team members, Independent Technical Review (ITR) Team leader and members, and procedures to assure quality control has taken place. Any deviations from procedures will be identified in this QAP and waivers obtained prior to design.

The design team shall be directed to Appendix B of ER 415-1-11 BCOES Review for a Review Checklist that will assist in the production and completeness of the design documents. Lessons learned from previous projects will be used to improve the quality of design products. The Project Manager and Technical Lead will ensure the design team has access to all criteria required to adequately perform their task.

7. Quality Guidelines for the Technical Review:

The Design Technical Lead (TL) will provide oversight of the QA process to ensure their effectiveness in the production of quality products in accordance with this plan. The TL will coordinate each USACE review and ensure that these comments are entered in DrChecks. DrChecks will also be used to coordinate and respond to Outside Agency review comments for this project. This system will allow all parties involved to track review comments and monitor the quality of the design documents throughout all phases of design. 447

Page 3 of 3 ends

$5,300,000 Timotheus Hampton, PE
Work in segment AA is limited to approximately station 22+00 to station 53+00. Work in this segment will include construction of a combination stability/seepage berm. The existing maintenance road will be reconstructed atop this newly constructed berm.

Work in segment AD is limited to approximately station 114+00 to station 124+00. Work in this segment will include levee repairs of the landside embankment and construction of a subgrade drainage system.

The project is needed to reduce the risk to public health, safety and property protected by the Yolo Bypass Levee that could result from seepage and stability deficiencies of the existing levee.

The impacts that if the project is not constructed include: flooding of residential areas, the displacement of populations, and damage to recreation facilities, roadways and utility systems and during flooding.

This work is considered to be low complexity. Standard engineering solutions are being employed; and, the repairs require only basic earthwork construction using routine methods and equipment. Therefore it is the professional judgment of the DVO this project has Low Opportunity for any cost avoidances. The project will be for 65% design.

Preface
What is Value Engineering?
Value Engineering is the application of a systematic process called the Value Methodology (VM) Job Plan that integrates analytical, creative, and evaluation techniques within a multidisciplinary team setting. According to SAVE International®, the professional society for value engineering, the focus of VM is on Improving Value by identifying the most resource efficient way to reliably accomplish the required functions of the program, project, or process that meets the performance expectations of the customer.

It is proven to be a highly effective process for identifying solutions to achieve the required functions at a minimum expenditure of resources without sacrificing the required performance.

We must remember that the optimum use of our resources is as important as the technical reliability of the project.

Why does USACE require Value Engineering?
In 1964, USACE was one of the first federal agencies to implement a formal value engineering program. After several decades, the Federal Government recognized that in today’s environment of escalating costs and shrinking budgets value engineering (VE) continues to deliver essential cost control and performance improvement opportunities throughout the design and construction process. For this reason, through continuous reissuance of Executive Orders and directives, including OMB Circular A-131, every U.S. President and Congress since 1993 have promulgated laws to ensure that every federal agency is effectively employing value engineering.

Today, the use of value engineering is codified in USACE through the following laws, directives, regulations, and guidance:

Office of Federal Procurement Act 41 USC 432, Public Law 111-350, Section 1711 Public Law 99-662, Title IX, Section 911 requires a cost effectiveness review of all designs authorized under the Water Resources Development Act
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-131
Department of Defense (DOD) Directive 4245-8 DOD Value Engineering Program Army Regulation (AR) 5-1, Management of Army Business Operations USACE Engineering Regulation (ER) 11-1-321, Change 1 Army Programs, Value Engineering Compliance with Standards & Regulations
This Value Study was performed in a manner to comply with the laws, directives and regulations listed above. More specifically, this Value Study was conducted in accordance with the international standard Value Methodology established by SAVE International®. This standard requires the execution of a specific six-phase process using a workshop format and a multidisciplinary team.
461
Using this Report
The purpose of this Value Study was to identify potential changes to the current design. This is in no way intended to be a critique of the project design but rather, it is intended to be a supplement or progression of the Project Development Team’s (PDT) efforts. The Value Team’s role is an extension of the PDT. The Value Team has the benefit of having a fresh perspective while at the same time having a starting point that builds on the work of the PDT. The Value Team also benefits from a unique approach to problem solving that is founded in the Value Methodology which specifically focuses on understanding the project needs from a functional perspective before conceptualizing solutions.

By design, these value studies are intense but short duration efforts. The Value Proposals provided in this report are conceptual and advisory in nature. It is important to note that the Value Team makes no project decisions and has performed no detailed engineering analysis beyond that shown within this report. Detailed feasibility assessment and final design development of any of the proposals, should they be accepted, remain the responsibility of the District and the designer of record.

When reviewing the results of this Value Study, each part of a Value Proposal should be evaluated on its own merit. Concern over a particular aspect of the proposed change should not be grounds for dismissal of the entire concept. Some of these ideas may challenge established standards or other project specific constraints. It is an intended purpose of the USACE Value Engineering Program to question or challenge perceived constraints that may create a less than optimal solution to the required function. Over the many decades, the USACE Value Engineering Program has been the catalyst for many changes to standard designs, policies, and procedures and has introduced many concepts that have become the new standard. The District is encouraged to use the results of this study to make changes that result in the maximum benefit for the end users, as well as for the American taxpayers.

To that end, all of the ideas shown in the creative idea listing in the Appendix should be reviewed for additional value improvement opportunities. Since the Value Team was constrained by a finite duration for the workshop and the production capacity of the team, not all ideas were developed. Therefore, there may be other ideas in that list that would provide additional value improvement opportunities for the project. 462

PROJECT OVERVIEW
The purpose of this project is to reduce the risk of flood damage by repairing the levees that surround the city of West Sacramento. West Sacramento is bordered by the Yolo Bypass on the west, and the Sacramento River on the north and east. The US Army Corps of Engineers and its non-federal sponsors, the West Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency (WSAFCA) and the State of California Central Valley Flood Protection Board, are partnering together to implement the West Sacramento Project. The project location in the California Central Valley includes 13,000 acres of mixed-use property with an estimated population of ~55,000 (2022).

The value of the structures and contents located within the project site, which would be susceptible to damage if a flood were to occur, is estimated between $16B-$20B.

Value Study Benefits Key Recommendations
During the function analysis phase of the value study, the Value Team determined that in addition to controlling seepage and stabilizing the levee, there would be additional benefits realized by improving community relations and managing the environmental impact. This shift in thinking was the catalyst for Value Team members developing some alternative concepts directly related to the construction process and some
alternative concepts directly related to community and
environmental factors.

One construction specific concept developed by the Value Team recommended a method to construct a better-quality cutoff wall in less time and at a reduced cost. Another concept recommended that the PDT develop a focused and intentional effort to educate the public on the purpose of the levee system and to work to gain consensus among all project stakeholders.

Additionally, the Value Team developed two alternative
concepts to address concerns related to the utility crossings at the Broderick Boat Ramp location. This was a specific request made by the PDT during the in-brief presentation.

CS-02 – This concept recommends using a vertical auger/cutter in combination with a cement bentonite mix to construct a cutoff wall in lieu of using a standard long-reach excavator combined with a soil bentonite mix to construct the cutoff wall.

This alternative method expedites construction and provides a better-quality cutoff wall at a reduced cost. This concept offers a cost avoidance opportunity of $4.9M.

MB-07 - This proposed concept is to purchase the waterside portion of an extended alluvial floodplain in the Sacramento River at the mouth of the American River. This land mass must be acquired/secured to ensure it is retained in its current state.

The presence of this land is critical to the overall design of this project. The Value Team agrees with the District’s Design Team related to the importance of this land remaining in-place to maintain the natural protection it provides to keep the levee toe stable.

Five quality review comments were identified.

1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Project Summary
The purpose of this project is to reduce the risk of flood damage by repairing the levees that surround the city of West Sacramento. West Sacramento is bordered by the Yolo Bypass on the west and the Sacramento River on the north and east. The US Army Corps of Engineers and its non-federal sponsors, the West Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency (WSAFCA) and the State of California Central Valley Flood Protection Board, are partnering together to implement the West Sacramento Project. The project location in the California Central Valley includes 13,000 acres of mixed-use property with an estimated population of ~55,000 (2022). The value of the structures and contents located within the project site, which would be susceptible to damage if a flood were to occur, is estimated between $16B-$20B.

Baseline Cost
The Value Team was provided a 30% construction cost estimate as part of the project documentation. This estimate indicated an anticipated project cost of $74,564,300 based on prices escalated to the mid-point of construction. On the first day of the value study, the Value Team was provided with an updated cost estimate that indicated an anticipated project cost of $24,639,979. The project budget is estimated between $40-$60M. The construction start is scheduled for 2027 with an estimated 24-month construction duration (two 6-month construction periods outside of the flood season). For the purposes of this report, the proposals have been estimated to the project cost level.

Key Challenges & Issues
The in-brief presentation, and the project documents listed in Appendix A in this report, provided the Value Team with an overview of the goals, issues, and expectations for the project. Further, this gave the Value Team an opportunity to identify key challenges and issues facing the project.

After a review of the project documents and presentations, the Value Team noted the following key challenges and issues:
• The Design Team is unsure of the future status of an existing land mass on the waterside of the levee, generally situated between STA 136+00 to STA 185+00, that has significant bearing in determining whether real estate acquisition or a cutoff wall will be included in the Contract 1S design. 467
2 • There is a plan to construct the California Indian Heritage Center within the existing waterside land mass. Coordinating levee improvement construction efforts in/around the work being done to construct the Indian Heritage Center could complicate the project.
• The I-Street Bridge replacement project will be occurring at roughly the same time as the work associated with Contract 1S. Having two large projects being executed concurrently in an already congested area could impact the availability of staging areas and could create traffic control challenges. • There are known utility constraints at the Broderick Boat Ramp facility. Utilities involved include electrical, sanitary sewer, water, high pressure gas line, fiber optic line, and a major city storm drain system. There is uncertainty as to how these utility crossings will be handled.
• Construction is currently planned to span two seasons. Managing challenges associated with critical habitat and endangered species in/around the project site could introduce unforeseen delays.

Constraints
There are typically agreements, formal and informal, assumptions, and other factors which become constraints affecting the decision-making throughout the planning and design process.

Further, constraints or limits on the Value Study are used to define the boundaries between project aspects that the project stakeholders will consider changing and those that cannot be changed. These constraints may result from a variety of political, technical, schedule, or environmental causes. Excessive constraints tend to inhibit the Value Team's ability to identify creative opportunities for value improvement.

Inadequately defined constraints can result in the Value Team’s effort being wasted in areas where there is no possibility of change.

Project Constraints
The project constraints identified for this study were:
• The availability of real estate/land that may be required as part of the Contract 1S project is limited.
• The availability of regional skilled labor will be limited if the levee improvement project and the new bridge project are executed concurrently. • It is unknown whether the Broderick Boat Ramp will need to remain operational throughout the duration of the Contract 1S project.
468
3 Study Constraints
The study constraints identified for this study were:
• Project stakeholders do not want relief wells incorporated into the design of the Contract 1S project due to future and ongoing operations and maintenance (O&M) that will be required.
• Sheetpiles may not be considered for permanent seepage control per US Army Corps of Engineers, Sacramento District Standard Operating Procedure 3 – Geotechnical Levee Practice (5.3.3.1 – Material Types). • There can be no impacts to the pond area within the project site that currently exists in the waterside land mass area.

Project Assumptions
The project assumptions identified for this study were:
• The conditions for Contract 1S construction are going to be consistent with the conditions encountered on similar levee projects in the area. • All materials required for the Contract 1S project will be acquired within a 50-mile radius of Sacramento.
• There will not be secondary impacts with the change in groundwater hydrology. • There will be limited impacts on the critical habitat and endangered species located within the project site.
• The apartment building driveways that are adjacent to the project site can be used to gain access to the levee.
• The park property adjacent to the project site can be used as a staging area.

Value Study Objectives
The following issues were identified by the District’s project development team (PDT) as action items for the Value Team. These are aspects of the project or specific issues that the PDT or other stakeholders have specifically asked the Value Team to review for validation of the current concept or to offer alternative solutions. • The PDT needs clarification on whether the waterside land mass will remain as it currently exists or if they will need to incorporate a cutoff wall into the levee improvement design plans. The Value Team was asked to explore options for how this issue could be addressed.
• The Value Team was asked to consider alternatives for the utility crossings at the Broderick Boat Ramp.
469
4 Value Study Context
The following two factors impacted the value study.

1. The Value Team was provided with the 30% current working estimate as part of the project documentation. The estimate indicated an anticipated project cost of $74,564,300. On the first day of the value study, the Value Team was provided with an updated cost estimate that indicated an anticipated project cost of $24,639,979. The Value Team’s cost estimator worked diligently to validate the $50,000,000 decrease in the project cost estimate. The Value Team was informed that it is the practice of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Sacramento District to not provide a copy of the native MII cost estimate file. The absence of the native MII file required the Value Team cost estimator to develop a different method to ensure a consistent markup percentage was used to cost the alternative concepts developed during the workshop. More detail related to the method used is included in the Project Cost Analysis included within this report.

2. The Value Team went into the value study with the understanding that they had the opportunity to evaluate all aspects of the Contract 1S project. During the mid-point review, the Value Team outlined 14 alternative concepts for consideration by the project stakeholders. Five of the 14 concepts were eliminated by the stakeholders. It was during this review meeting that the Value Team learned about US Army Corps of Engineers, Sacramento District Standard Operating Procedure 3 – Geotechnical Levee Practice (5.3.3.1 – Material Types), which indicated that sheetpile was not to be considered for seepage control.

Value Study Highlights
During the workshop, the Value Team generated 37 ideas for potential changes to the current design. Based on the Value Team members’ professional judgment and input from PDT representatives, four of these ideas were selected for developing into quantitative Value Proposals with a cost avoidance and seven qualitative Value Proposals that improve operation, ease maintenance, improve constructability, or reduce risk.

During the functional analysis phase of the value study the Value Team determined that in addition to controlling seepage and stabilizing the levee, there would be additional benefits realized by improving community relations and managing the environmental impact. This shift in thinking was the catalyst for Value Team members developing some alternative concepts directly related to the construction process, and some alternative concepts directly related to community and environmental factors.

For example, one of the construction specific alternative concepts developed by the Value Team was to use a vertical auger/cutter in combination with a cement bentonite mix to construct a cutoff wall in lieu of using a standard long-reach excavator combined with a soil bentonite mix to construct the cutoff wall. This proposed concept expedites construction and provides a better-quality cutoff wall at a reduced cost. This concept offers a cost avoidance opportunity of $4.9M. One qualitative concept, specifically related to improving community relations, recommended that the PDT 470
5 develop a focused and intentional effort to educate the public on the purpose of the levee system and to work to gain consensus among all project stakeholders. The benefits of this type of approach would most likely reduce potential conflict and help unify the various stakeholder groups. Additionally, the Value Team developed two alternative concepts to address concerns related to the utility crossings at the Broderick Boat Ramp location. This was a specific request made by the PDT during the in-brief presentation.

6 VALUE STUDY RECOMMENDATIONS & PROPOSALS
The results of this Value Study represent the value improvement opportunities that can be realized on this project. They are presented as individual proposals for specific changes to the current design. This section contains three groups of information.

Quantitative Value Proposals are those that reduce the first, or initial, cost of the project. Each quantitative proposal includes:
• A summary of the original concept
• A description of the proposed concept
• A brief narrative comparing the original design and the recommended change • Sketches, where appropriate, to further explain the proposal • Calculations, where appropriate, to support the technical adequacy of the proposal
• A capital cost comparison
• And a life cycle cost analysis, if appropriate
Cost was the primary resource that was compared to the functions being accomplished in the project. To ensure that costs were compatible within the Value Proposals recommended by the Value Team, the project cost estimate was used as the basis of cost.

In addition to the quantitative Value Proposals, the Value Team generated other ideas that have been termed qualitative Value Proposals. These may add initial cost or have no cost impact but are presented to bring attention to areas of the design which, in the opinion of the Value Team, should be considered.

Qualitative Proposals typically are associated with issues such as:
• Improved operation
• Ease of maintenance
• Easier construction
• Reduced risk of construction claims
• Clarification of construction documents
• Or safer working conditions
Lastly, this section contains Quality Review Comments, these comments are observations made during the Value Team’s review, such as design errors, estimate comments, and schedule considerations.

1. Some proposals presented in this report are variations of a common concept and others are proposals to a specific aspect of the design.

Thus, not necessarily all proposals in this report can be implemented as selection of some may preclude or limit the use of others.

2. These potential savings do not reflect any costs for redesign, which must be considered. Moreover, the full benefit and impact of many of the proposals goes beyond the cost avoidance to include improved project performance of required functions. *For the Final Report, preliminary decision rationale is inserted in Appendix E – Supplemental Information 475

Description of Original Concept:

The original concept is to have 725 feet of fully penetrating and 1,800 feet of hanging soil bentonite slurry cutoff wall.

Description of Proposed Concept:

The proposed concept is to consider a self-hardening cement bentonite slurry as an alternative to the soil bentonite.

Rationale for Change:

The cement bentonite slurry wall improves constructability of working in an area with limited space available (i.e., degraded crest of levee). 478
12 Advantages/Disadvantages
Proposal No.: CS-01
Advantages of Proposed Concept Disadvantages of Proposed Concept • Improves constructability due to
limited access of working on levee
• Cement bentonite is
self-hardening, so remixing of
trench backfill is not required
• Cement bentonite is higher
strength contributing to improved
levee stability
• Cement bentonite is heavier so
provides improved trench stability
• Little or no slurry displacement
(waste)
• Requires a mixing plant
• Cement bentonite walls can have
higher permeability
• Use of cement increases carbon
footprint and may contribute more
to climate change
479
13 Discussion
Proposal No.: CS-01
Basis of original concept:

The 30% design documents indicate a soil bentonite slurry wall to control seepage. The wall is fully penetrating (85 feet deep) between STA 136+75 and 144+00 and “hanging” (55 feet deep) between STA 144+00 and 162+00.

Issue of concern:

The soil bentonite construction method requires a large space and tends to be rather messy. The trench is held open with a slurry and then backfilled with a soil bentonite mixture. The backfill mixing is often done in an adjacent mixing location requiring a large area and a sloppy construction operation. The mixing is sometimes performed within the trench but may result in reduced reliability.

Description of proposed change:

Use of cement bentonite as an alternative to soil bentonite allows for a single pass construction. The cement and bentonite would be mixed in a plant and pumped through pipes to the trench location. The slurry would hold the trench open during excavation. The material would then self-harden and eliminate the need to backfill the trench.

Benefit of making the change:

Cement bentonite slurry wall requires less space to construct. Eliminating the trench backfill step may also help to expedite the project schedule.

Examples where this has been used:

Cement bentonite slurry walls are widely used in the industry as seepage cutoff walls.

Implementation considerations:

This concept would be simple for the Project Development Team (PDT) to incorporate into the construction documents. It is recommended that the PDT consult with construction contractors doing this type of work to fully understand the construction processes and facilitate preparation of construction documents that can be competed, allowing contractor flexibility while still achieving the desired final product. 480

487
21 Discussion
Proposal No.: CS-02
Basis of original concept:

SRNL Contract 1S scope includes seepage/stability and levee geometry improvements to the existing levee system. The West Sacramento GRR, dated December 2015, indicates that:
• Sacramento River North Levee - extends for approximately 30,700 feet along the Sacramento River right bank levee from the Sacramento Bypass south to the confluence of the Barge Canal and the Sacramento River. The general improvements for this reach include erosion protection on 14,300 feet of the reach and seepage improvements, with slurry wall installation ranging from 30 feet to 110 feet in depth on 18,500 feet of the reach.

Issue of concern:

The 30% in-house design drawings have changed, and the Value Team now assumes 2,500 linear feet for an approximately 160,000 square foot cutoff wall.

Description of proposed change:

A vertical auger/cutter combined with a cement bentonite mix is proposed in lieu of a long-reach excavator technique combined with a soil bentonite mix. There are three categories of cutoff/slurry wall barrier construction: excavated cutoff systems, in situ techniques, and driven cutoff systems. Driven systems have been excluded from this analysis.

In situ deep soil mixed construction of cutoff walls include multi-axis, single auger/mixer, and the cutter soil mix method. Using these methods, soil is not completely removed for the wall area but mixed with binder content in situ to form the cutoff wall. This results in a neater/safer method.

Benefit of making the change:

The proposed method may provide better quality, reduce cost, and take less time for wall construction.

Examples where this has been used:

Numerous dam and environmental containment projects around the country have used this method
488
22 Implementation considerations:

Availability of specialty equipment meeting California emissions requirements needs to be investigated.

496
30 Discussion
Proposal No.: CS-03
Basis of original concept:

The original concept is to construct a seepage cutoff wall through the levee embankment and foundation to reduce seepage.

Issue of concern:

The 30% design documents provided rationale as to why relief wells were not selected, but it did not include a cost comparison.

Description of proposed change:

The Value Team is providing preliminary life cycle cost information for relief wells.

The Value Team is considering relief wells to address under seepage between STA 136+75 and 144+00, where the fully penetrating cutoff wall is being designed. It is estimated that twelve wells, 70 feet deep, would control underseepage. It is assumed that the slurry wall (or some other feature) would be required for levee embankment seepage. For comparison purposes, the Value Team considered that the slurry cutoff wall could be shortened by 30 feet (become a hanging cutoff) with addition of relief wells.

It is assumed that total discharge from the relief wells may be on the order of 100 to 150 GPM. The Value Team did not evaluate methods to handle this additional seepage quantity.

Benefit of making the change:

The benefit of making the change is it potentially reduces upfront project costs.

Examples where this has been used:

Relief wells are a very common practice and widely used to control underseepage for both dams and levees.

Implementation considerations:

It is recommended that the PDT considers the potential cost savings with relief wells in locations where seepage through embankment is not a concern. 497

Assume relief wells at 75 FT spacing, therefore, 12 new wells Assume wells installed along landside toe are roughly the same elevation as fully penetrating cutoff walls (say 70 FT deep).

It is assumed that wells may produce an average discharge of 10 GPM for design water levees. Therefore, total discharges may be on the order of 100 to 150 GPM.

Relief well life is typically 30 to 40 years, when replacement may be needed. Therefore, it is assumed the relief well would be replaced once over a 50-year project life.

The slurry cutoff wall could be changed from fully penetrating to a hanging cutoff (shortened from depth of 85 FT to 55 FT).

Description of Original Concept:

The original concept is to construct a hanging cutoff wall to control seepage through the levee embankment and upper portion of foundation soils.

Description of Proposed Concept:

The proposed concept is to construct a pervious drainage layer within the levee embankment and a landside toe drain in the foundation soils.

Rationale for Change:

This approach controls seepage by collecting seepage water rather than cutting it off.

505
39 Discussion
Proposal No.: CS-05
Basis of original concept:

The 30% design is for a hanging seepage cutoff wall to be constructed from STA 144+00 to 162+00. The cutoff wall extends through the embankment and through the upper foundation soils for a total depth of about 55 feet. The wall is intended to minimize seepage through the levee embankment and any sandy layers that may exist in the upper portion of the foundation.

The design also involves regrading the landside slope to achieve a 1V:3H to increase stability and facilitate mowing.

Issue of concern:

The cutoff wall is a complicated operation requiring specialized equipment, experienced contractors, and involves degrading the levee crest (a large earthwork operation).

Description of proposed change:

The proposed change involves installing an incline pervious (sand) drain within the landside levee slope to intercept embankment through seepage increasing stability of the landside slope. The pervious drain would tie into a toe drain along the landside toe.

The toe drain would be excavated through the upper portion of the foundation to a depth of 10 or 12 feet. Seepage would be collected in a 12-inch diameter perforated pipe surrounded by a gravel layer meeting filter criteria. Seepage water would discharge through manholes to the ground surface. It is judged that the quantity of seepage water would be small enough that special handling would not be required.

Benefit of making the change:

The work does not involve degrading the top of the levee. The footprint of the earthwork is reduced as it is limited to the downstream slope and toe area. The work can be done with standard construction equipment allowing more contractors to compete for the work.

Additional explanation:

While the total earthwork quantities are higher than that proposed in the 30% design, the elimination of the slurry wall construction could potentially reduce the construction schedule.
506
40 Examples where this has been used:

Many earth dams have been constructed with features like these proposed measures.

Implementation considerations:

The toe drain would require some increased O&M efforts over the hanging cutoff. These O&M efforts would involve periodic video inspections and potentially occasional cleaning efforts.

514
48 Discussion
Proposal No.: CS-06
Basis of original concept:

Issue of concern:

Materials are often quickly needed during floods to repair breeches and eroded zones.

Planting berms can provide a space for storing these materials. They can consist of rock, sand, silty sand, clay, and topsoil in layers, or they can consist of any one material for use during flood. These planting berms can be vegetated with locally native species for a positive visual effect and use by Monarch butterflies and seed eating bird species.

Use of just grasses on levees and on planting berms lacks the native species diversity needed to improve habitat.

Description of proposed change:

The proposed concept is to establish dual purpose vegetation berms associated with the levee, stabilized with geogrid, and consisting of combination of rock, clay, sand, and topsoil for use during floods, and they will create early succession habitat between floods. The Value Team suggests using various species to establish planting berms, particularly species that can be easily mowed at the correct times of year. In addition, use easily obtained or excess materials to store in the planting berms and look for waterside anomalies that could be flattened out to improve flood flows and limit turbulence caused by the geomorphological shapes.

Benefit of making the change:

Some benefits of making this change include readily available material, plant species that benefit pollinators, migrating birds, and prairie nesting birds.

Additional explanation:

The berms could consist of excess materials that would otherwise need to be disposed of. Establish these berms where space requirements are favorable.

In addition, these materials could be stored in areas on the waterside of the levees where the floodplain is hydraulically ineffective in regard to flood to smooth out undulating areas that are transverse to flow. Again, the materials used could be those that could be mobilized before, during, or after floods. These stockpile areas on either 515
49 side of the levee could be maintained in an early successional stage (herbaceous plants and low shrubs) and demarcated by signs, bollards, or planters. 516
50 Examples where this has been used:

The Missouri River Levee System (MLRS 385) utilizes a sand stockpile area filled with sand that could be used for filling sandbags during a flood. This site does not include the other option for planting with native grass and forbes.

519
53 Figure 4: A vegetated levee with Butterfly weed Asclepias tuberosa, an essential element in habitat for the candidate protected species Monarch butterfly. 520
54 Implementation considerations:

These planting berms will provide a positive view for residents who are close to the levee. The location of these berms would have to be considered almost on a foot-by-foot basis where the materials could be placed in enough volume to make the effort worthwhile. Waterside areas with land surface anomalies would be determined after detailed survey of the site and 60% design. This level of detail was not evaluated.

The Value Team assumes stakeholders would view this option favorably. The PM will need to work with designers, hydrologists, and with biologists to site these locations.

Cost will not be significantly more but value of having materials readily available before or during a flood could save life and property.

Description of Original Concept:

The original concept is to follow US Army Corps of Engineers criteria for levee crossings as stated in the DDR.

Description of Proposed Concept:

The proposed concept is to evaluate the existing utilities and determine if it requires relocation or replacement. If so, then the Value Team proposes to group the utilities into two areas for crossing in the vicinity of levee STA 165+00 to 169+00 (Group 1) and levee STA 171+00 to 174+00 (Group 2).

Rationale for Change:

The rationale for this recommendation is to reduce the number of up-and-over crossings spread across several locations along the levee for pressurized pipes or through pipes. Grouping the utility crossings into the same area allows for flood patrols to focus their inspections to concentrated watch areas during a flood event.

Grouping the utility crossings into the same area allows one area of the existing levee to be disturbed for the up-and-over rather than having several “bumps” along the levee crest.
528
62 Advantages/Disadvantages
Proposal No.: CS-11
Advantages of Proposed Concept Disadvantages of Proposed Concept • Reduces risk during a flood event
by having one watch area rather
than several watch areas
• Less individual “bumps” for

• Grouping of utilities could simplify
utility easements into one location
• Additional coordination with
several utilities for placement in the
same area and within a new
easement could be challenging
529
63 Discussion
Proposal No.: CS-11
Basis of original concept:

The original concept is to follow US Army Corps of Engineers criteria for levee crossing according to the DDR. The Value Team understands that the existing utility information is currently being developed at the time of this Value Engineering study.

Issue of concern:

Having multiple individual levee crossings increases the watch areas during a flood patrol, increases levee disturbed areas, and increases the number of individual utility easements.

Description of proposed change:

The proposed change is to group utilities into the same crossing location.

Benefit of making the change:

This lessens disruption of the levee, in particular the up-and-over utilities, to reduce the “bumps”. Consolidating crossings reduces the number of watch areas during a flood event and having multiple disturbed areas.

Additional explanation:

Relatively recent US Army Corps of Engineers guidance is available in EM 1110-2-2902a, 31 December 2020.

The open trench method has less seepage concern and requires less design scrutiny with appropriate construction details. In contrast, the trenchless installation (horizontal directional drilling) requires more design effort to verify hydraulic fracturing does not occur and possible annular space created around the pipe is addressed.

If after existing pipes are evaluated and found deficient, then the replacement pipes for existing non-essential pipes within or beneath an embankment should be re-routed in an elevated position over the embankment and the original pipe removed or decommissioned (see EM 1110-2-2902a, Chapter 8). New pipes should be routed up-and-over.

Unapproved utility encroachments should be viewed as highly suspect due to unknown installation methods.

High pressure pipelines should be provided with a positive closure device/valve and marked in the field for flood patrol.
530
64 Where possible, the gravity lines (through pipes) should be evaluated for consideration to remain in-place. However, valves or sluice gates should be provided for positive closure and be accessible for closure during a flood event. US Army Corps of Engineers, EM 1110-2-2902a Chapter 6, provides guidance for inspection of existing utilities within an existing levee.

Examples where this has been used:

Newly constructed utilities across a levee have been grouped to consolidate several utility crossings into one area. An example is MRLS L-385 located in Riverside, Missouri.

Implementation considerations:

Coordination with several utilities for relocation within a new easement will be required.

Utility coordination and working outside the existing utility easement could be challenging. The existing utility information needs to be fully developed to evaluate the existing utility’s condition and location within the levee embankment/foundation. 531

Description of Original Concept:

Encroachments should not impact structural integrity of the levee, hydraulic conveyance of the channel and floodway, operation, maintenance, or flood fighting activities. Any encroachment that is determined to impact the project should be removed/altered/or relocated, as necessary. For projects locally maintained, the US Army Corps of Engineers should coordinate this effort with the local sponsor, and work with them to assign and/or update permits of encroachments, as necessary. All encroachments should be properly permitted.

Description of Proposed Concept:

Any encroachment within a levee structure is at risk of seepage induced failure.

According to Geotechnical BOD, June 2024, there are numerous subsurface encroachments within the Contract 1S area. The proposed concept is to remove all encroachments and coordinate with the new bridge construction for crossing.

Another option could include deep or long horizontal directional drilling (HDD) under the levee and river to address encroachments.

70 Discussion
Proposal No.: CS-12
Basis of original concept:

An encroachment is a third-party, non-project feature that exists inside the boundaries of the federal project. All existing encroachments within the project footprint should be evaluated to determine if they will negatively impact the project. Encroachments should not impact structural integrity of the levee, hydraulic conveyance of the channel and floodway, operation, maintenance, or flood fighting activities. Any encroachment that is determined to impact the project should be removed/altered/or relocated, as necessary. For projects locally maintained, the US Army Corps of Engineers should coordinate this effort with the local sponsor, and work with them to assign and/or update permits of encroachments, as necessary. All encroachments should be properly permitted.

Issue of concern:

The concern is there are encroaching conduits at risk for seepage failures which introduce risk to the levee.

Description of proposed change:

Any encroachment within a levee structure is at risk of seepage induced failure.

According to Geotechnical BOD, June 2024, there are numerous subsurface encroachments within the Contract 1S area. The proposed concept is to removal all encroachments and coordinate with the new bridge construction for crossing. Another option could include deep or long horizontal directional drilling (HDD) under the levee and river to address encroachments.

Benefit of making the change:

The benefits of making the change are that it eliminates encroaching conduit induced seepage and the risk of levee failure.

Additional explanation:

Existing conduits may or may not have proper anti-seepage collars, which may or may not be effective.

Examples where this has been used:

This has been used on many bridges across the US and as crossings/routings for various utilities.
537
71 Implementation considerations:

The design of a pipeline crossing on a bridge structure is considered a special design in every case due to the varied nature of bridge designs. The preferred conceptual design of a pipeline bridge crossing consists of a straight alignment using either restrained mechanical joint DIP or butt-welded steel pipe on a roller system with a pipe expansion joint which allows the pipeline to act independently of the bridge superstructure. This scenario is considered the ideal case because it is void of fittings and minimizes pipe joint deflections, which create thrust forces. However, due to the particular bridge configuration, other scenarios can be designed with approval. 538

77 Discussion
Proposal No.: MB-05
Basis of original concept:

The original concept is to hold public meetings that are ongoing to inform the public of the pending project and the program around West Sacramento.

Issue of concern:

It is understood that there are challenges gaining consensus with some adjacent or affected stakeholders. These relationships can improve once they have a better understanding of the project and its eventual benefits.

This project is the first phase of West Sacramento levee improvements, so this project’s public meetings will help set the stage for the rest of the program.

Description of proposed change:

For situations where there are groups that are less accepting than others, it may be beneficial to conduct separate public meetings with these groups. This may help prevent steering others from becoming adversarial as well. Sometimes, the negative feedback becomes the dominating theme of the meeting, but by understanding their concerns, these meetings can be more focused on alternatives to address the issues.

Also, if these groups understand the consequences of the levee improvements not being completed, it may alleviate their distress. The paramount duty is to listen to all groups’ concerns. This will help refocus future meetings, design features, and construction activities toward solutions that are mutually beneficial.

Engineering projects are often highly technical, so their features need to be clearly explained. Levees are designed to control seepage, contain river flow, and allow continued maintenance. If these features are explained in simple exhibits, then a better understanding will result.

With construction projects, there are disruptions of daily life such as noise, dust, and traffic. The public should be made aware of the existing levee’s level of performance and how that is expected to improve with the proposed levee improvements.

Social media has become the primary means for individuals to access the news, so websites, Facebook, Instagram, etc. are accessible though links and QR codes and can be utilized to conveniently inform the public.

78 Benefit of making the change:

Once relationships with adversarial groups are improved and everyone understands the technical intricacies and the project’s purpose, then all-inclusive public meetings will likely become more productive.

Additional explanation:

The public will also have an interest in the anticipated schedule and cost. For the schedule, the public is primarily interested in knowing when they will be affected geographically. As for the cost, it is usually beneficial to contrast the value of the homes and businesses the levee protects versus the cost of the program, along with the level of protection of the existing 90-year-old system versus the proposed.

Examples where this has been used:

Tribal Engagement for the Oklahoma Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Plan (by HNTB Corporation) – the details of this example are on the next page. Notice the importance of “listening” and having separate meetings.

The US Army Corps of Engineers has plenty of experience dealing with adversarial groups with respect to proposed projects. These suggestions may have already been considered. Often, public involvement tasks for ethnic groups are better delegated to similar Minority-Owned Business Enterprise (MBE) and/or Women-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE) firms, giving them direct access to the District’s Commander or Chief may show a concerted effort to listen to their concerns. 545

Description of Original Concept:

The original concept is to consider moving the levee back and restoring the waterside. This project simply establishes the value of privately held land areas on the levee waterside and seeks to secure them from development and use them for restoration of the ecosystem.

Description of Proposed Concept:

The proposed concept is to purchase the waterside portion of an extended alluvial floodplain to maintain this area in its current condition. This adds to the distance between the Sacramento River and the levee. Adding an additional line of defense for the levee and maintaining natural vegetation and wetlands in West Sacramento.

Rationale for Change:

The levee has been set back with benefit to the levee since the land sits in direct line of the American River discharge. A land mass located in the Sacramento River at the mouth of the American River on the waterside of the West Sacramento River. The land is a previous alluvial plain consisting of somewhat poorly drained Lang soils. The soil type, Lang soils (typic psammaquents), is normally used for cropland and wildlife habitat according to the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Commonly grown crops are irrigated orchards, row crops, forage crops, and field crops of corn, sugar beets, tomatoes, wheat, alfalfa hay, and walnuts. When uncultivated, vegetation is oak, cottonwood, willows, and annual grasses and forbes. The site has an open body of water that is unmapped by the National Wetland Inventory, but 547
81 surrounding areas are mapped as palustrine scrub/shrub swamp, palustrine forested swamp, and palustrine unconsolidated shore. Surrounding uplands may sometimes exhibit wetland conditions during wet years and upland conditions during dry years.

The land mass and setback levee make an excellent example of a nature-based solution defined as natural infrastructure that performs a function that benefits both humans and the natural environment. Several parcels are included and include the California DWR property, the Cultural Resources Heritage Center, a land parcel north of the Broderick Boat Ramp, and a parcel south of the B Street River Access. These parcels will provide multiple benefits and significant value to this project if owned and/or managed by the government.

83 Discussion
Proposal No.: MB-07
Basis of original concept:

In some locations, the current levee is set back from the river’s edge. There were no original concepts for purchase of these land areas on the riverside of the levee, although the Value Team agreed unanimously there was a need to maintain these land areas for continued levee integrity, especially near the confluence of the American and Sacramento Rivers. This concept is consistent with the United States Army Corps of Engineering with Nature® (EWN) approach for achieving multiple benefits, establishing a multilevel/multipurpose space for protecting integrity of flood risk structures while creating, restoring and maintaining natural areas. The original plan proposed means to mitigate potential impacts caused by digging up and replanting any Valley Elderberry plants that may be within the limit of disturbance (LOD). This approach provides more opportunities to preserve rare and highly valuable habitat areas within similar habitats that were here originally. If not used as a flood management and habitat area, then impacts to wetlands or other protected resources in these locations would have to be mitigated in some way.

For more information, please see this link:
https://ewn.erdc.dren.mil/research/project/comprehensive-benefits-evaluation-fornature-based-solutions/ Issue of concern:

The current proposed levee consists of a 20-foot top, a 3:1 slope to the toe (15 feet high) with a 15-foot unvegetated zone from the toe. With these dimensions, the levee disturbance would be, at the minimum, 140 feet in width. In some locations, the levee will intrude on freshwater estuarine riparian ecosystem assets requiring removal of trees and shrubs, and installation of levees and roads. Additional waterside maintenance roads would expand the permanent impacts to an even greater width with maintenance of a no-vegetation (or grassy) zone for the entire width.

Description of proposed change:

EWN emphasizes that current infrastructure project evaluations can be more robust and potentially more protective, when costs and benefits of these projects are fully evaluated, benefiting economic, environmental, and social factors. EWN does not replace the need for fully engineered concrete infrastructure, but it recognizes that nature-based infrastructure can complement traditional methods. Suggesting that the government (federal, state, county) purchase or place easements on these properties to maintain and improve the future integrity of the levee system. Also, promoting restoration areas for various wetland and aquatic species, as well as secluded stopover locations for foraging and resting migratory birds.
550
84 Benefit of making the change:

Numerous benefits could be realized by conserving the undeveloped land waterside of the new levee. They are listed below with a short description:
• Create a natural floodplain defense area for extended protection and management of flood risk.

The EWN promotes a multi-benefit approach for natural flood management. https://ewn.erdc.dren.mil/research/project/comprehensive-benefits-evaluation-fornature-based-solutions/ • Maintain high quality ecosystem conditions for multiple species.

The riparian floodplain zone of the Sacramento River in the Contract 1S location includes a surprising number of tidal, freshwater forested, and scrub-shrub swamp which is a very rare habitat type in the region. This location in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Valley also includes numerous highly valued species, for reasons of rareness or important as food sources, protected by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) under the Magnusen Stevens Act and by both the NMFS and US Fish and Wildlife Service under the Endangered Species Act. The habitats within these currently undeveloped riparian and floodplain swamps potentially include habitat and the potential presence for listed species as noted in the table below:

aquatic and upland habitats,
including:

Aquatic habitats
• The turtles live in
permanent or semipermanent bodies of
water, such as rivers,
creeks, ponds, lakes,
marshes, reservoirs,
canals, and cattle
ponds. They prefer
deeper pools with lots of
basking sites, like logs,
rocks, or vegetation

Upland habitats
• The turtles need suitable
upland habitats for laying
eggs, which can be
found in sandy banks or
harder soil.

Range
• The turtles are found in
California north of the
middle of Monterey Bay
and in the San Joaquin

Threatened • Delta smelt are found only in
the Sacramento-San Joaquin
estuary in California.
• The delta smelt is a euryhaline
(saltwater tolerant) species, it
is seldom found where sea
water makes up more than
1/3 of the total water.
• The locations of delta smelt
are tied to the freshwater side
of the mixing zone (where the
salt and freshwater meet). As
drought and river water
diversions reduce the outflow
of freshwater downstream,
the mixing zone is drawn
upstream into the river
channels. There the mixing
zone is compressed and
limited to the deeper river
channels where the current
may be faster and more
turbulent, shoals absent, and
the usual species richness
(microzooplankton) of the
mixing zone limited.
553
87 • Larvae of the delta smelt
require high densities of
microzooplankton.

Longfin Smelt

threatened
southern DPS
(sDPS).

Sturgeon may spawn in areas—
particularly important at
confluence of American and
Sacramento Rivers. Green
sturgeon are an anadromous fish,
which means they can live in both
fresh and saltwater. They have a
relatively complex life history that
includes spawning and juvenile
rearing in rivers followed by
migrating to saltwater to feed,
grow, and mature before
returning to freshwater to spawn.

They are a long-lived, slowgrowing fish.
• During spawning runs,
adult sDPS fish enter San
554
88 Francisco Bay between
mid-February and early
May and migrate rapidly
up the Sacramento River.

Spawning occurs in cool
sections of the upper
Sacramento River where
there are deep, turbulent
flows and clean, hard
substrate. In the autumn,
these post-spawn adults
move back down the
river and re-enter the
ocean. After hatching,
larvae and juveniles
migrate downstream
toward the SacramentoSan Joaquin Delta and
estuary. After rearing in
the delta and estuary for
a few years, they move
out to the ocean.

Bald and Golden Eagles No status
Limit development inconsistent with floodplain management maintenance area:
• Limit filling of wetlands mapped there: All areas proposed for establishment of ecosystem improvements along the Sacramento River consist of at least somewhat poorly drained, poorly drained, and very poorly drained soils that are frequently flooded. Most areas, unless previously filled would be considered wetlands and riparian zones.

Direct contact/connection of floodplain area to flood pulses of the Sacramento River provides multiple ecosystem benefits:
• Direct connection to river for aquatic species: Most of this Contract 1S section has connectivity to the Sacramento River. This results in the wetlands and tributaries connected to the river to be subject not only the Clean Water Act but also the Rivers and Harbors Act.
555
89 Eliminate possibility of development:
• Placing these areas under easement or ownership by an organization that will maintain the site for ecological and flood management reasons will eliminate the threat of site development and inconsistent use. If these sites are developed, as there are some currently proposed, then additional exposure to flooding and loss of life and property will likely occur.

Maintain as a Restoration Area for Elderberry/Elderberry Beetle:
• Many areas along the levee route will require removal of vegetation to maintain consistency with US Army Corps of Engineers vegetation management requirements as described in ETL 1110-2-583. These undeveloped lands could provide possible mitigation area for Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle habitat.

The construction of levees with mandated vegetation-free sections will eliminate much needed and essential scrub/shrub and swampy habitat for migrating waterfowl and birds that nest in shrubs.

Protect and possibly enhance unique cultural resources that may be present:
• The US Army Corps of Engineers has initiated consultation with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and the tribes. So far, they have received comments from the Yocha Dehe Wintun tribe that the possibility of tribal archaeological resources are present at the site of levee construction. The almost intact riparian areas will also have the potential for housing unknown archaeological resources and preserving them in perpetuity would provide an opportunity for research and preservation in-place.

Multiple Benefits:
• To accelerate progress and delivery of new and enhanced infrastructure projects for navigation, flood risk management, water operations, and ecosystem restoration consistent with its EWN Program, the US Army Corps of Engineers has engaged in a collaborative effort with the Water Institute of the Gulf to conduct policy research for fully evaluating the benefits of EWN strategies and projects, to include Natural Infrastructure, Natural and Nature Based Features, and other Nature-Based Solutions (NBS).
• The Water Resources Development Act of 2020 §110 directs the US Army Corps of Engineers to implement the Principles, Requirements and Guidelines for Water and Land Related Resources Implementation Studies (PR&G), which govern how federal agencies evaluate proposed water resource development projects. With the updated PR&G, studies will need to consider a broader suite of variables that lead to sustainable, resilient, and enduring investments, including economic, social, and environmental factors. Evaluating projects in this way helps to achieve greater synergy and higher value for US Army Corps of Engineers projects. The table below from Fishbach et.al. 2023 summarizes findings funded by the Corps EWN program, “ENHANCING BENEFITS EVALUATION FOR WATER RESOURCES PROJECTS: TOWARDS A MORE COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH FOR 556
90 NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS”. The process of adding value with EWN is listed below and provides additional justification for the Sacramento District to consider this approach to add value to the project:
(Please see https://ewn.erdc.dren.mil/publications/archive/enhancing-benefitsevaluation-for-water-resources-projects-towards-a-more-comprehensive-approach-fornature-based-solutions-case-study-analysis-results-and-recommendations/) Additional explanation:

The US Army Corps of Engineers EWN program has issued four “Enhancing Benefits” evaluation status reports. The Value Team believes that the sale of one of these large (16 acres) properties is actively occurring. However, obtaining compliance with federal state and local regulations will be difficult and time may be imminent that the developer will decide to make other plans for the property. The land is under a purchase agreement for nearly $9M with an anticipated gross revenue of nearly $100M after selling the lots, however, the property is still in escrow. The developer has provided conceptual designs to include 164 home lots of 1/10 of an acre each. The 557
91 development of this wetland area in such a manner would be disastrous for river water quality, present endangered species habitat, and the local ecosystem. The water quality of the borrow pit pond and the unique wooded wetlands over which the development would take place.

The potential risk is that the cost to purchase the land could greatly increase if the developer is able to obtain permits to build as proposed.

The Value Team proposes the US Army Corps of Engineers to purchase this property or other properties waterside of the levee to place in conservation, floodplain easements, or own outright. To leave this land in its natural condition, no constructability or O&M issues are evident.

Examples where this has been used:

The Value Team proposed MB-05 (in the 2016 GRR), in another portion of this West Sacramento levee project as the example. The above cited EWN document used this project alternative to demonstrate the benefits of natural geomorphology, the presence of an undeveloped floodplain, and a rich existing ecosystem. The team believes this will expand these same project alternative benefits. Value Proposal MB-05, included rebuilding a section of the levee as a setback levee and another to widen the Sacramento Wildlife Bypass to the north of West Sacramento. The study also considered actions to widen river bypass structures or use setback levees to continue making room for the river to expand during flood events, in addition to providing protection through improved levee barriers. This proposed action would also support achieving the same goal.

The replacement levee was planned as a setback from the river for 30,000 feet removing the current levee that was directly adjacent to the riverbank thereby allowing the floodplain to dissipate the energy of floodwaters within the original floodplain rather than at the levee edge. Value Proposal MB-05, also proposed restoring/constructing 60 acres of floodplain habitat to better support associated ecosystem functions. Stated benefits in the EWN document include allowing for the river to expand during flood events and slow down through the shallow waters of the inside bend of the river in that reach, providing wetland and habitat for avian and aquatic flora and fauna. It was recognized by the District’s Design Team that this measure would reduce overall environmental impact of all actions in the project and suggested establishing riverbank and wetland plants as mitigation for the habitat lost through raising levees in-place. The new setback levee was included in Value Proposal MB-05 for final analysis and ultimately in the preferred plan for implementation. The Value Team enthusiastically endorses the setback levee concept and believe that because the levee is already “set back” in these areas for US Army Corps of Engineers management, the ecosystem function is currently intact and the team suggests it would be wise to benefit from obtaining the land and leaving it “as is”.
558
92 Implementation considerations:

Conserving undeveloped land on the waterside of the levee would begin by identifying ownership, current condition, and cost of the easement. The land should be evaluated using an ASTM Phase I Site Assessment Process (E1527). Each property should be evaluated for its condition and value for 1) storage of floodwater 2) quality of habitat 3) function in fisheries 4) function in maintaining and improving water quality 5) potential historic/archaeological value 6) value as extending already high-quality habitats to then synergize with existing properties.

The key here is to purchase the property at reasonable cost and/or obtain information on establishing conservation easements and/or floodplain easements for obtaining the land's use as described. More information can be seen about implementation in Value Proposal SL-14.

Cost considerations can vary widely depending on the current condition of the property. The efficacy of the effort will depend on the amount of flexibility the floodplain management entity can have in limiting development within the area. 559

Description of Original Concept:

The original concept is to provide a waterside maintenance access road between STA 0+00 and 36+00, STA 44+50 and 47+00.

Description of Proposed Concept:

The Value Team proposes to remove the waterside maintenance road from approximate levee STA 0+20 to 32+50. The original design waterside maintenance road would remain from approximate levee STA 32+50 to 37+00 and from 45+50 to 47+20. Traveling the levee corridor for maintenance and flood patrols would be via the 20-foot-wide levee crest. The Value Team proposes installing waterside ramps at approximate levee STA 5+75, 13+00, 20+75, and 26+75.

Rationale for Change:

The rationale for change is to reduce the footprint of the project within the more cultural/ecological sensitive waterside area. During high water events, the waterside maintenance road would be inundated and could not be used. The flood patrols would use the levee crown during high water events. The SOP No. 3 design criteria manual only requires a patrol road on the levee crest. Many levee systems do not have a dedicated levee maintenance road located on the waterside and/or landside of the levee.

104
Discussion
Proposal No.: RF-01
Basis of original concept:

The original design includes approximately 3,960 feet of a 15-foot-wide maintenance roadway along the waterside levee toe. In addition, the original design includes a 20-foot-wide levee crown and a 15-foot-wide landside maintenance road.

Issue of concern:

The waterside maintenance road increases the project footprint in the cultural/ecological sensitive area of the levee corridor. Within this area of the levee, corridors have protected vegetation (Elderberry) and species (Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle). In addition, the aggregate surfaced roadway will require additional routine maintenance of the roadway surface.

Description of proposed change:

The waterside area of the levee corridor includes the most cultural and ecological sensitive areas of the project. One way to limit the impact in this area is to remove the waterside maintenance road. Flood patrol access could still be conducted from the 20-foot-wide levee crown since the waterside maintenance road would be inundated during high water events.

Benefit of making the change:

Making this change would reduce project footprint in a cultural/ecological sensitive area, reduce future roadway maintenance, reduce removal of protected vegetation and insect species, and reduce public access for unauthorized personnel.

Additional explanation:

Reduction of the original designed waterside maintenance road would reduce upfront construction cost and future maintenance cost. Removal of the waterside maintenance road could provide an opportunity for reduced mitigation costs.

Examples where this has been used:

Many levees within the US Army Corps of Engineers inventory do not have dedicated maintenance roadways on the waterside or landside levee toe. Normal maintenance and flood fighting access is typically obtained from the levee crown. The proposed levee crown is 20 feet wide which offers a wider width than the standard levee crown section of 10 to 12 feet as typically designed per EM 1110-2-1913; Paragraph 6-1. 571
105
Implementation considerations:

Signage spaced at regular intervals could be installed to delineate the levee sponsor right-of-way or maintenance responsibility limits. Signage could include the levee station, “no trespassing”, or emergency contact information. The levee sponsor responsible for the maintenance and flood fighting will need to provide input on how removal of the waterside maintenance road feature would impact future operation and maintenance procedures.

Description of Original Concept:

The original concept does not have any stipulations regarding the waterside overbank, adjacent to the potentially turbulent Sacramento River and American River confluence, to keep it intact.

Description of Proposed Concept:

The proposed concept is to purchase the property or an easement on the overbank, to maintain the natural protection that the land mass currently provides to keep the levee toe stable.

Rationale for Change:

Land which is left open for development or erosive loss changes the stabilization and seepage conditions on the proposed levee.

112
Advantages/Disadvantages
Proposal No.: SL-14
Advantages of Proposed Concept Disadvantages of Proposed Concept • Perpetual access to maintain the
property
• Perpetual authority to control what
happens to the property
• Promotes natural conditions
• Promotes tribal relations
• The cost of the land may be
excessive to buy outright
• The tribe may opt to alter their
land use if it is not included
579
113
Discussion
Proposal No.: SL-14
Basis of original concept:

The original design does not include any acquisition of the land between the confluence of the American River, Sacramento River, and the levee.

Issue of concern:

The levee is naturally protected by the existence of the greater than 800-foot width of land on the west (right) overbank of the Sacramento River just downstream of the American River confluence.

In the first sketch below, the West Sacramento Parcel Viewer site shows this region is broken up into numerous parcels.

In the second sketch below, the northern and mid portion of that land mass is shown as planned to be part of the California Indian Heritage Center State Park, so it is assumed to be relatively secure from extreme alteration and likely to remain.

The southern extent may be susceptible to acquisition from the State or alteration (such as: https://ethanconradprop.com/wpcontent/uploads/WPL/166/att_West_Sacramento_River_Residential_Flyer.pdf ).

Description of proposed change:

It would be beneficial for the Central Valley Flood Protection Board (CVFPB) to acquire the non-tribal land outright or by easement. This proposal aligns with the needs outlined in Value Proposal MB-07, included in this report.

Benefit of making the change:

If the land is acquired, then this would provide a means to allow perpetual access to protect the waterside overbank and toe of the levee to leave the land mass intact.

It is possible the land preservation is in-line with tribal desires and may cause them to support the proposed levee improvements.

Additional explanation:

Riverine confluences are regions of turbulent erosive flow conditions, because the adjoining waterways (primary: Sacramento River, and secondary: American River) have differing flood event peaks, discharges, and velocity vectors. The stability of the levee relies on the existence of the land at its waterside toe. Also, seepage is partially reduced below the overbank grade at the levee.
580
114
In the third sketch below, an aerial progression is shown, and the region exhibits a change in tree density around the inland pond and an increase in tree maturity (visually by individual canopy size) throughout. These attributes are conducive for controlling overbank flood flow velocities; therefore, it maintains the cross-sectional conditions that keep the levee section stable.

Examples where this has been used:

It is relatively common for levee sponsors to purchase land or easements to have perpetual access to maintain land or overbank buffers from the impingement, erosion, or encroachment of adjacent waterways.

Implementation considerations:

The current specific ownership of each parcel in this waterside overbank region is not completely understood. A title search is suggested to be certain.

Once the ownership is understood, the acquisition (LERRD - Lands, Easements, Right-of-Ways, Relocations, and Disposals) process could be initiated. 581

Quality Review Comments
Prior to the Value workshop, the Value Team was provided the project documents to review. During the Value workshop, the Value Team discussed the quality of the project documentation. This review looked at the 30% design documents and much of the information that was used in the formulation of the project. This review identified the following quality issues:
• The 30% Draft Design Documentation Report (DDR), Section 1.7 (page 20 of 104) indicates the top of levee as at least the 0.5% (1/200) event + 3 FT; however, (page 4 of 4) of the 30% DDR Appendix A – HH shows the top of levee as at least the 0.3% (1/325) + 3 FT, which is consistent with the 30% plans. • The site characterization is not well documented. Conceptual site characterization is an important step between subsurface exploration and numerical geotechnical computations. Lack of site characterization complicates understanding of problem definition.
• The original estimate included $8,571,668 for project mobilization and demobilization; however, the updated estimate did not include this item. The Design Team may need to review and determine if mobilization and demobilization will need to be added back into the cost of the project. • The quantity of cutoff wall was reduced from 399,104 square feet to 161,440 square feet; however, the individual components that make up the costs for this item were unchanged. This caused the cost per square foot to go from $14/square foot to $37/square foot. It was determined the updated estimate rate is appropriate for what is shown on the drawings.
• Some of the line-item descriptions in the estimate do not exactly match what is shown in the design documents; however, the overall costs appear to be in-line with what is expected for what is shown in the drawings. 585

A – VALUE STUDY OVERVIEW
587
Introduction
This report presents the results of a Value Study conducted by Strategic Value Solutions, Inc. (SVS) on the West Sacramento River North Levee (SRNL) – Contract 1S project for the US Army Corps of Engineers, Sacramento District (District).

P2 Number: 456851
Design/Construction Strategy: Design-Bid-Build
Level of Project Development: 30% Design
Designer: In-House
The Value Study included a 4-day (32-hour) Value Workshop that was conducted with a multidisciplinary team at the SVS Headquarters in Lee’s Summit, MO on September 23- 26, 2024.

Project Description
The purpose of this project is to reduce the risk of flood damage by repairing the levees that surround the city of West Sacramento. West Sacramento is bordered by the Yolo Bypass on the west and the Sacramento River on the north and east. The US Army Corps of Engineers and its non-federal sponsors, the West Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency (WSAFCA) and the State of California Central Valley Flood Protection Board, are partnering together to implement the West Sacramento Project. The project location in the California Central Valley includes 13,000 acres of mixed-use property with an estimated population of ~55,000 (2022). The value of the structures and contents located within the project site, which would be susceptible to damage if a flood were to occur, is estimated between $16B-$20B.

The focus of this value study, identified as Contract 1S (Segment 3), covers stationing STA 136+00 to STA 214+00 and includes seepage remediation and geometry/stability improvements. Contact 1S is one piece of a larger $2.2B program and one of four contracts planned to address seepage, stability, and erosion control in the existing levee system. The total length of Contract 1S is 7,800 feet (1.48 miles). Construction on this project is expected to begin in 2027.

Pre-Workshop
Prior to the start of the workshop, the team was tasked with reviewing the most current documentation on the project development. This was done to familiarize them with the project design and to prepare them for asking questions of the project stakeholders during the project presentations at the beginning of the workshop. Much of the background information for this study was generated by the District. Other pre-workshop activities included:
• Coordinating workshop logistics and communicating those to the various participants
• Providing guidance to the District on presentation content for the project introduction
• Scheduling workshop participants and assigning tasks to ensure the team is prepared for the workshop
• Gathering necessary background information on the project and making sure project documentation is distributed to the team members Materials Provided

Value Workshop
The Value Workshop was an intensive session during which the project was analyzed to optimize the balance between functional requirements and resource commitments (primarily capital and O&M costs).

Information Phase
At the beginning of the workshop, it was important to understand the background of the project from which the design was developed. This background was provided in an oral overview by the District. The overview and subsequent project analysis provided information on the following topics:
• Rationale why this project is necessary
• Project objectives that have governed the proposed design • Rationale for the proposed design configuration
• Explanation of design features, criteria, and assumptions • Value Study constraints
• Project cost
592
Site Visit
A site visit was not conducted.

Mid-Point Review
Midway through the Value Study, the Value Team briefed key representatives of the District’s project team in an informal discussion regarding the creative ideas selected for development. The purpose of this meeting was to offer an advanced briefing on key topics the Value Team would be further pursuing and to identify any key constraints or challenges these preferred ideas might face when being considered for implementation. The following topics of significance were discussed during the midpoint review meeting:
• CS-03 – Perform LCCA on relief wells to determine feasibility of incorporating into project scope.

The project stakeholders made it clear that they are not in favor of adding relief wells into the project scope due to the ongoing O&M costs. However, the stakeholders were open to the Value Team completing the life cycle cost analysis work associated with this concept.
• CS-09 – Install full depth sheetpile in lieu of cutoff wall.

This concept was eliminated from further consideration during the mid-point review meeting. The Value Team was made aware of US Army Corps of Engineers, Sacramento District Standard Operating Procedure 3 – Geotechnical Levee Practice (5.3.3.1 – Material Types) which states that sheetpiles may not be considered for permanent seepage control.
• MB-01 – Establish routine meetings to ensure all stakeholders have a voice in this $2B levee program.

The project stakeholders stated that routine monthly meetings are currently being conducted. They did not see any reason for the Value Team to further develop this concept. This concept was eliminated from further consideration. • MB-07 – Create a floodplain park along the river.

The stakeholders were generally in favor of having the Value Team further develop this concept; however, the project associated with Contral 1S is not authorized for recreation. The Value Team revised the title of the concept to – Create a natural flood management area on the water side of the levee. • SL-02 – Construct slurry wall at riverside toe with access road on top and incorporate clay blanket on waterside.
• SL-13 – Improve upstream storage to reduce impact of flood event. • SL-15 – Construct slurry wall at riverside toe with access road on and top and install internal drains on landside slope.
593
These three concepts, SL-02, SL-13, and SL-15 were eliminated from further consideration by the project stakeholders during the mid-point review meeting.

Out-Brief
The presentation was made by the Value Team on September 26, 2024 to representatives of the District’s project team. The Value Team described each Value Proposal and the rationale that went into the development. This was followed by answering the audience’s questions. The acceptability of the Value Proposals was deferred pending the District’s review of the Draft Report.

From this presentation, the following key points of discussion were noted:
• CS-02 – Use deep soil mixing method to install cutoff wall.

There was a question asked about the width of the construction platform. The construction platform associated with this concept is not much wider than what is proposed in the 30% design. There was also a brief discussion about how the Value Team cost estimator calculated the cost of this alternative concept ($4.9M cost avoidance). The Value Team’s subject matter expert stated that the cost was calculated based on industry research over the last 24-48 hours. The Value Team cost estimator used an order of magnitude approach for deep soil mixing. They took what was in the 30% estimate for cutoff walls and found this approach to be more cost effective. Insitu ground improvement method is a one step process that does not require excavation and subsequent backfilling. One of the non-federal sponsors stated that this method of construction was used for the cutoff wall on the Southport project. He stated that this was the most expensive slurry wall per linear foot, but he noted the process was effective and was the only method available to reach the depths that needed to be reached.

He also stated that this construction method moved relatively slowly. • CS-05 – Levee embankment pervious drain and toe drain as an alternative to hanging cutoff wall.

The stakeholders asked if the Value Team’s analysis considered how to manage the water collected in the pipe. The Value Team stated that they did not calculate a seepage quantity but would be surprised if this concept would result in dealing with a large quantity of water.
• CS-11 – Group utilities at one location up-and-over levee. • CS-12 – To eliminate/reduce encroachments, consider utility crossing on new I-Street Bridge.

The stakeholders asked a question that was applicable to concepts CS-11 and CS-12. Is there a prefabricated system to allow for different utilities to cross over in a concentrated area? The Value Team’s subject matter expert stated that there would most likely be some sort of precast system that could be designed to scale during construction detailing. He also mentioned that conduit could be a 594
consideration. If conduit were used, then the carrier pipe would be placed inside the conduit, and the entire area around the larger conduit would be grouted to ensure no seepage. Fiber and electrical lines could also be run through a larger conduit pipe along with other utilities. One member of the Value Team stated that there is a commercially available precast product called RED-E-DUCT from a company called Contech that the Design Team could evaluate.

Value Process Overview
The Value Job Plan used by SVS includes the execution of the following six phases during the workshop:

Information Phase
From the beginning of the workshop, it is important to understand the background of the project and the rationale underlying the design decisions. An overview of the project history, objectives, issues, as well as an overview of the project design to date, is critical to the success of the Value Study. The workshop agenda will indicate whether this project overview was provided at the beginning of the workshop.

When the project development team does not provide an overview, the Value Team allocates a greater portion of the workshop time for Team Review.

When appropriate, the workshop includes a team visit to the project site. The workshop agenda will indicate whether a site visit was performed during this workshop.

Function Analysis Phase
During the Function Analysis Phase, the team identifies functions that describe the expected outcomes of the project under study. These functions are described using a two-word, active verb and measurable noun pairing. Function Analysis also defines the intended methods for accomplishing the desired outcomes.

Some of the specific function tools the Value Team uses in studies include Tabular Function, FAST Diagraming, and the Function Wheel. The Function Analysis appendix of this report includes documentation of the Function Analysis phase and the tools used.

Creative Phase
This step in the Value process involves generating ideas using creativity techniques. The team records all ideas regardless of their feasibility. In order to maximize the Value Team’s creativity, evaluation of the ideas is not allowed during the Creative Phase. The Value Team’s efforts are directed toward generating a large quantity of ideas. These ideas are later screened in the Evaluation Phase of the workshop.

The creative ideas generated by the team are included in the Creative Idea Listing appendix of this report. The list also includes ratings for each idea based on the Evaluation Phase of the workshop.
595
Evaluation Phase
In this phase of the workshop, the team selects the ideas with the most merit for further development.

The evaluation process is designed to identify those ideas with the greatest potential for value improvement that can be developed into Value Proposals. The evaluation process is also influenced by the duration of the workshop and the production capacity of the team. As a result, the remaining ideas that are not selected for development are not given any further consideration by the team during the workshop. It is recommended that the other ideas also be reviewed by the project team, as there may be circumstances which may make these ideas viable. These ideas may be further evaluated or modified to gain the maximum benefit for the project.

Development Phase
During the Development Phase, each idea is expanded into a workable proposal to the original project concept. Development consists of preparing a description of the value proposal, evaluating advantages and disadvantages, and making cost comparisons.

Each proposal is developed with a brief narrative to compare the original concept and the proposed concept. Sketches and brief calculations are also developed, if needed, to clarify and support the recommendations. The value proposal developed during this Value Study are presented in the Study Results section of this report.

Presentation Phase
In this phase, the Value Team presents the work that was produced during the workshop. The Value Team presents proposals and fields any final questions from the project stakeholders who were present. This presentation phase also closes out the responsibilities of the Value Team’s subject matter experts.

The workshop agenda will indicate whether a presentation was performed by the Value Team during this workshop.

Post-Workshop
The Post-Workshop activities of a Value Study consist of preparing the value study report. This Final Value Study Report includes the Value Proposals developed during the workshop, as well as documentation of the Value Process. 596
Implementation
The final phase of the value process involved making decisions on what implementation actions should be taken with each of the Value Proposals.

On October 25, 2024 a meeting was conducted with the District and representatives of the Value Team to discuss each of the Value Proposals to answer questions and decide what changes to incorporate in the project.

These decisions are summarized in Table 1. Additional documentation on the rationale or considerations behind these decisions is included in the Appendix E – Supplemental Information.

Cost Information
The Value Team was provided cost information for the project which included the following key information:

DD Form 1391 Not provided
Budget for Construction: $40,000,000 to $60,000,000
Estimated Construction Cost: $24,639,979
Estimate Prepared by: USACE, Sacramento District
Estimate Date: September 2024
Date for Cost Data: Unknown
Construction Start: 2027
Construction Duration: Two 6-month construction periods Mid-Point of Construction: 2028
As part of this workshop, the Value Team reviewed the cost estimate provided as a second opinion on the accuracy of the construction cost estimate. This review ensured that the team had reliable data for comparing the cost of Value Proposals.

During the workshop, the Value Team discussed the differences between the original estimate and the updated estimate with the cost estimator. The team identified a discrepancy, and while the estimator could not immediately explain the anomaly, he later researched the issue and confirmed that the figures in the updated estimate were correct.

This high-level review identified the following issues for further consideration:
• The original estimate included $8,571,668 for project mobilization and demobilization; however, the updated estimate did not include this item. The Design Team may need to review and determine if mobilization and demobilization will need to be added back into the cost of the project. • The quantity of cutoff wall was reduced from 399,104 square feet to 161,440 square feet; however, the individual costs that make up the costs for this item were unchanged. This caused the cost per square foot to go from $14/square foot to $37/square foot. It was determined the updated estimate rate is appropriate for what is shown on the drawings.
• Some of the line-item descriptions in the estimate do not exactly match what is shown in the design documents; however, the overall costs appear to be in line with what is expected for what is shown in the drawings.

The table below shows the mark-ups used in the current construction cost estimate and the mark-ups recommended by the Value Team. These recommended mark-ups were used in the cost comparisons of Value Proposals. Where the recommended mark-ups differ from the current construction cost estimate, an explanation is provided. 604
Mark-Up Current Recommended Rationale for Change
Design Contingency unknown Alternative method to determine markups was used Home Office Overhead unknown Alternative method to determine markups was used Field Office Overhead unknown Alternative method to determine markups was used Bond & Insurance unknown Alternative method to determine markups was used Profit unknown Alternative method to determine markups was used Escalation unknown Alternative method to determine markups was used Total Mark-up Construction Cost
Construction Contingency unknown Alternative method to determine markups was used Supervision & Administration unknown Alternative method to determine markups was used Total Mark-up Project Cost
Calculation of Mark-Up
The following mark-up was applied as a line item in each of the Value Proposal cost estimates. It was assumed that subcontractor costs were already included in the direct unit prices. Although a live MII file was requested, it was not provided to the Value Team; therefore, an alternative calculation method was employed to determine the cost mark-ups. The project cost from the provided estimate was divided by the direct cost to calculate the mark-ups that were used for the Value Proposals. This resulted in a

91.86% mark-up. This alternative method ensures the mark-up percentage used by the Value Team cost estimator was consistent with the mark-up presented in the 30% current working estimate supplied to the Value Team as part of the project document set.

After reviewing the designer’s construction cost estimate, it was determined, that although some of the individual detail titles do not match what is shown in the design drawings, the overall costs were appropriate for this type of construction. 605
Cost Models

Schedule Analysis
A schedule analysis was not performed.

Risks
An important step to improving a project’s value and achieving the desired objectives is the identification and management of risk. Risks are those project uncertainties that could affect performance, cost, or schedule throughout the planning, execution, and operation of the project. From the Value Team’s understanding of the project, the following risks and opportunities were identified:
• There is uncertainty related to the future use of the waterside land mass and how flood control modeling and the overall project design will be impacted if this land area stays in-place or is removed.
606
• The current 30% design reflects a strong reliance on numerical calculations related to seepage within the levee. It is common for there to be significant variances in these types of calculations.
• The PDT expressed some concern during the in-brief presentation that there are many unknown factors that could impact the reliability of a 2027 construction start date.
607
C – FUNCTION ANALYSIS
608
Function Analysis Phase
Function Analysis is the heart of the Value process and is the key activity that differentiates the Value process from other problem solving or improvement practices.

During the Function Analysis Phase of the Value Job Plan, functions are identified that describe the expected outcomes of the project under study. Function Analysis also defines how those outcomes are expected to be accomplished by the current design.

These functions are described using a two-word, active verb and measurable noun pairing.

This identification and naming convention of project functions enables a more precise understanding by limiting the description of a function to an active verb that operates on a measurable noun to communicate what work an item or activity performs. This naming convention also helps multidisciplinary teams to build a shared understanding of the functional requirements of the project.

Project Mission Statement
To help focus discussion for a better understanding of the project requirements, a mission statement was developed for the project. The Value Team addressed the question, “Why is this project being proposed in the current form?” The mission for this project, from the Value Team’s perspective, based on what was explained by the District, is as follows:

To protect life and property by increasing levee reliability to reduce the risk of flooding and limit inadvertent negative effects.

In developing this mission statement, the Value Team identified all the purposes the project has to address. The discussions during this development helped the Value Team members gain a more thorough understanding of the project.

The mission statement was later referenced in the more detailed function analysis of the project. The Value Team returned to this mission statement to test the appropriateness of the project element functions as they were developed to assure validity and focus.

Function Determination
Defining functional requirements for the project ensured that the current design would fulfill the needed purposes. The entire project was analyzed to determine what functions are being accomplished by the current design. Required functions were retained. Some functions were not necessary to accomplish the mission of the project and thus became candidates for deletion.

During the Function Analysis Phase, the Value Team used various function analysis techniques to analyze the project. For this project the Team Leader chose to use Function Analysis System Technique (FAST) Diagram.

This analysis helped the team confirm its understanding of the overall project objectives and analyzed the functions of key project elements. The Value Team Leader led the 609
Value Team through an in-depth discussion of the possible functions of each key project element to clearly and precisely identify the purposes of each.

FAST Diagram
Function analysis was enhanced by using a graphical mapping tool known as the Function Analysis System Technique (FAST), which allows Value Team members to understand how the functions of a project relate to each other. The resulting FAST Diagram allowed quick visualization of the logical relationship between project functions and the project as a whole. The FAST diagram is in the Function Analysis section of the Appendix.

The FAST Diagram is structured such that moving to the right of any function answers the question, “How are we accomplishing this function?” Moving to the left of any function answers the question, “Why are we accomplishing this function?” Elements that are vertically connected occur “When” or as a consequence of the function it is connected to on the horizontal path.

The diagram shows on the far left that the ultimate function or the mission that must be accomplished by this project is to Protect Property, Protect Life, and Improve Community Value.

The functions between the two dashed lines, called Scope Lines, represent the functional elements of the project which are within the scope of the Value Study. The first column of functions (basic functions) within the left Scope Line represents the functions that must occur in order for this project to successfully accomplish its mission.

The remaining functions (secondary or support functions) represent how the current Design has chosen to accomplish those basic functions.

Function Findings
From the function analysis of this project, the Value Team concluded that:
• The basic functions of this project are to Prevent Flooding and Achieve Multiple Benefits.
• Stabilize Levee and Control Seepage were identified as the secondary functions and/or the way the PDT has chosen to accomplish the basic function to Prevent Flooding.
• Improve Community Relations and Manage Environmental Impact were identified as the secondary functions and/or ways that the PDT could Achieve Multiple Benefits for this project.

D – IDEA LIST & EVALUATION
612
Creative Phase
This step in the Value process involved generating ideas using creativity techniques. The Value Team recorded all ideas regardless of their feasibility. In order to maximize the Value Team’s creativity, evaluation of the ideas was not allowed during the creative phase. The Value Team’s effort was directed toward a large quantity of ideas. These ideas were later screened in the Evaluation Phase of the workshop.

The creative ideas generated by the Value Team are included in this Appendix. The list also includes ratings for each idea based on the Evaluation Phase of the workshop.

These lists should be carefully reviewed, as there may be other good ideas not developed by the Value Team because of time constraints. These should be further evaluated or modified to gain the maximum benefit for the project.

Evaluation Phase
In this phase of the workshop, the team selected the ideas with the most merit for further development.

After an initial vote, the Value Team Leader assessed how many ideas could be developed into Value Proposals within the remaining duration of the workshop. From this assessment, all ideas with a certain number of votes were selected for development. However, prior to the final selection, the results were revisited collectively by the Value Team to ensure that those selected by the voting process truly represented the best ideas for development. This gave the Value Team the opportunity to down-rate some ideas and to up-rate other ideas based upon team discussion of the ideas.

The criteria used for selection were:

1. The inherent value, benefit and technical appropriateness of the idea

2. The expected magnitude of the potential cost avoidance, both capital and life cycle savings

3. The potential for the District’s acceptance of the idea Ideas were selected for development as Value Proposals based on all three criteria.

Not all ideas were developed. This evaluation process is designed to identify those ideas with the greatest potential for value improvement that can be developed into Value Proposals within the time constraints of the workshop and the production capacity of the Value Team. The remaining ideas were eliminated from further consideration by the Value Team; however, the ideas not developed should also be reviewed, as there may still be other good ideas not developed by the Value Team because of time constraints or other factors. These could be further evaluated or modified to gain the maximum benefit for the project.

To further ensure the Value Team is focused on developing the best ideas, a mid-point review meeting is conducted with the Value Team Leader and the District’s representatives. This mid-point review allowed the District to identify any fatal flaws in 613
the ideas that were not apparent to the Value Team but were apparent to the District’s project team because of their greater institutional knowledge of the project. These fatal flaws may be technical, operational, political, etc.

bentonite
Accept w/
Mod Neutral Neutral Accept w/ Mod ($575,000) ($575,000) Main concern is seepage (not stability). New seismic requirements may need to be considered. The tradeoff is ($575K) for better constructability, higher strength and stability, and improved schedule. DWR prefers the most robust levee.

No additional comments.

CS-02 Use deep soil mixing method to
install cutoff wall
Accept w/
Mod Neutral Neutral Accept w/ Mod $4,980,000 $4,980,000 Follow USACE policy and use this concept where appropriate.

Concerned about the potential cost of this concept. Why was only half the quantity used in the calculations? Requesting Cost Engineering to look at CS-02 calculation due to limited competition in Sacramento for this type of construction. A con could be the mobilization of multiple types of equipment. This concept could be combined with CS-01 versus long-reach excavator.

There is only one main contractor in the Sacramento
area that does this type of construction and their
prices reflect accordingly. This concept could be
used in specific locations. The PDT asked if the
actual cost could be taken from a different project
that utilized this method of construction.

CS-03
Perform LCCA on relief wells to
determine feasibility of
incorporating into project scope
Reject Reject Reject Reject $114,000 ($695,000)
This concept is not technically viable. RD900 also REJECTED. This concept would reduce the construction schedule, but would increase O&M. Not a good tradeoff for the minimal First Cost avoidance.

No additional comments.

$6,428,000 $6,428,000
Seepage concern using toe drainpipe. Additional analysis will be required. Public viewpoint of visible seepage could be a concern.

Concern that O&M costs were not captured in this concept.

Maintenance of toe drainpipe limits work to landside. Shallow cutoff walls may be more viable considering maintenance concerns.

Further evaluation is needed and this concept may be considered for isolated areas. The cost is 1:1 tradeoff without real estate, etc. consideration.

There is concern by the PDT that not all costs were
considered in the development of this concept. For
example, if this concept requires a pump station, the
typical cost of a pump station is $5M. The reason
why WSAFCA is opposed to this concept is because
the West Sacramento flood system is already
overloaded and they do not want to take on
additional water. The PDT did note that this concept
should be evaluated for consideration in
select/isolated areas.

CS-06 Establish dual purpose vegetation
berms Reject Reject Reject Reject ($204,000) ($204,000) Concern about placement of material as the landside is restricted.

Waterside is not favorable due to loss of material. Settlement issues with storing material and concern if habitat starts growing. Dual purpose vegetation berms associated with the levee, stabilized with geogrid, and consisting of a combination of rock, clay, sand, and topsoil for use during floods, and this will create early succession habitat between floods. Assumption of acquiring real estate; mitigation cannot be acquired, if area is already owned and degraded material is available. This approach is considered a betterment (only allowed if already in CEQA), described dual purpose, this is not feasible in California.

No additional comments.

CS-11 Group utilities at one location upand-over levee Reject Reject Reject Reject If relocation or replacement of utilities is required, grouping the utilities into two areas for crossing would require coordination of utilities and a new easement. There are too many utilities and this is too complicated to attempt. Negative impact to schedule.

No additional comments.

CS-12
To eliminate/reduce
encroachments, consider utility
crossing on new I-Street Bridge
Reject Reject Reject Reject Schedule concern. Cost sharing challenges. No additional comments.

Repair Type: Urgent
EVAL Issue: 1, Pipe Integrity
Crossing Status: Found
UCIP Comments: 03/17/2022 Record remains Urgent. Pipe exposed in excavation on waterside berm. Pipe was cut and left open on waterside in the excavation. Crossing appears abandoned, through holes and missing walls found on pipe at riverbank. Abandoned pump at riverbank, abandoned electrical conduit on waterside slope. A patch across the road pavement along pipe alignment may indicate recent crack repair. Overflow valve is open in concrete standpipe off landside toe. Concrete collar on the WS shown in permit drawing was removed.

Unable to find a permit for modification. (O.Yakimov - DWR UCIP) 05/11/2021 Received information from DWR levee inspector that the County sealed the road crack in Fall 2020. (O.Yakimov - DWR UCIP) 07/17/2018 Pipe has severely corroded and silted inside. Needs to be abandoned properly or removed. Recommend internal pipe inspection to determine pipe integrity through levee. (O.Yakimov-DWR UCIP) 07/18/2016 - Same as last inspection. Pipe severly corroded.

Since it is a deep irrigation pipe, cracking on pavement likely not caused by pipe. (K. Fazel/UCIP) 03/18/2013 - Crossing appears abandoned; if so, must be done so properly. Cracking on pavement along pipe alignment. Holes visible on pipe along WS slope. (P.

Amatya/UCIP)
FIELD_STRUCT_DESC: 10-inch steel irrigation discharge pipe through the levee, 18 feet below the crown. Centrifugal pump and backflow prevention valve on the waterside (WS). Concrete collar on the WS per permit drawing. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) standpipe and overflow valve enclosed by a concrete standpipe off the landside (LS) toe, likely not associated with the crossing, per Ken Lang of Reclamation District No. 537 (RD0537). 1-inch electrical conduit through the levee, 3.8 feet below the crown, this may not be associated with the crossing, per Ken Lang. (Plans for the installation of a pumping plant with a 10-inch discharge pipe through the levee authorized under Permit No. 558, 1932 - A. Marty and Brothers). Current adjacent landowner is the Giovennetti Ranch, but the pipe is not used by the landowner. [Additional Reference(s): DWR Levee Log, 2004, referenced as 8.3 feet below the crown]. Permit drawing issued in 1932 indicates that the pipe depth is 6.7 feet; however, permit was issued prior to the construction of a new levee prism above the old levee in 1955.

RESOLUTION 26-35

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WEST SACRAMENTO

MAKING FINDINGS OF ADEQUATE URBAN LEVEL

OF FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRESS
WHEREAS, The City of West Sacramento, along with Reclamation District 900 is a member of the West Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency, a Joint Powers Authority that is advancing the West Sacramento Levee Improvement Program to achieve an Urban Level of Flood Protection for the City of West Sacramento; and
WHEREAS, Urban Level of Flood Protection in the State of California is defined as 200- year protection; and
WHEREAS, the State of California Department of Water Resources, as directed by California Water Code Section 9610(d), has developed and released floodplain maps for urban areas in the event of the failure of State Project Flood Control facilities during flooding that has a 1-in-200 chance of occurring in any given year; and
WHEREAS, the City and the West Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency are relying on these floodplain maps to delineate the covered area addressed by the Adequate Progress Report; and
WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 65007(a) defines adequate progress as all of the following:
1) The total scope, schedule and cost of the completed flood protection system have been developed to meet the appropriate standard of protection. 2) (A) Revenues that are sufficient to fund each year of the project schedule developed in paragraph (1) have been identified and, in any given year and consistent with that schedule, at least 90 percent of the revenues scheduled to be received by that year have been appropriated and are currently being expended.
(B) Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), for any year in which state funding is not appropriated consistent with an agreement between a state agency and a local flood management agency, the Central Valley Flood Protection Board may find that the local flood management agency is making adequate progress in working toward .the completion of the flood protection system.
3) Critical features of the flood protection system are under construction, and each critical feature is progressing as indicated by the actual expenditure of the construction budget funds.
4) The city or county has not been responsible for a significant delay in the completion of the system.
5) The local flood management agency shall provide the Department of Water Resources and the Central Valley Flood Protection Board with the information specified in this subdivision sufficient to determine substantial completion of the required flood protection.

4) A response by the Professional Civil Engineer to the comments from the Independent Panel of Experts.
5) The most recent annual report prepared by the local flood management agency that was submitted to the Central Valley Flood Protection Board documenting the efforts in working toward completion of the flood protection system. 6) Any additional data and information that cities or counties use to make the finding.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 5, 2026 ITEM # 10
SUBJECT:

CONSIDERATION AND ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION 26-64 APPROVING THE

FINANCING OF CERTAIN RECREATION FITNESS EQUIPMENT AND DECLARING THE CITY’S INTENT TO REIMBURSE ITSELF FROM THE PROCEEDS OF DEBT FOR

CERTAIN EXPENDITURES
INITIATED OR REQUESTED BY: REPORT COORDINATED OR PREPARED BY:
[ ] Council [X] Staff
[ ] Other
Brandi Dionne, Recreation Manager
Parks and Recreation Department
ATTACHMENT [X] Yes [ ] No [ ] Information [ ] Direction [X ] Action

OBJECTIVE
This report requests approval of City Council Resolution 26-64, which authorizes the lease-purchase financing through a loan from U.S. Bancorp and declares the City’s intent to reimburse itself for certain expenditures made or to be made prior to issuance of the debt in compliance with Internal Revenue Service guidelines for taxexempt debt.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council:

1. Authorize the Finance Director or designee to accept a proposed equipment lease, and to enter into a leasepurchase agreement with U.S. Bancorp to finance the purchase of fitness equipment for the Recreation Center in the amount of $170,000; and

2. Adopt Resolution 26-64 approving the financing of the fitness equipment and declaring the City’s intent to reimburse itself from the proceeds of debt for certain expenditures.

BACKGROUND
In June 2020, the City Council approved an on-going budget appropriation for an equipment lease to replace cardio equipment at the end of the equipment’s useful life. The current financing has ended, and the equipment has reached the end of its useful life.

Approval of the lease-purchase financing is conditioned upon the Council’s approval of the financing. Staff has obtained a letter of intent from U.S. Bancorp to finance the purchase in the amount of $170,000 over a 5-year period at an estimated interest rate of 4.91%. This financing will spread the costs of the equipment purchase over several years and minimize the budget impact in the current fiscal year. Lease payments will be approximately $37,500 annually. The terms of the loan will more closely align with the expected life cycle of the equipment.

Resolution 26-64 is necessary to allow reimbursements of City costs prior to the execution of lease purchase documents with U.S. Bancorp. To finance that payment (and any other expenditures made before the financing agreement is executed) on a tax-exempt basis, federal income tax regulations require that the City declare its official intent to reimburse those expenditures from the proceeds of the debt. The City may only reimburse expenditures made not more than 60 days prior to the declaration of intent made in Resolution 26-64.

ANALYSIS
The City has an existing banking relationship with U.S. Bancorp. The business terms provided by U.S. Bancorp include a 4.91% interest rate and a 5-year term. Payments will be made annually. At the end of the lease term the City will take ownership of the financed equipment.

Resolution 26-64 is required to meet Internal Revenue Service requirements for tax-exempt financings. For example, this “Intent to Reimburse” resolution would allow staff to pay invoices prior to the lease financing becoming available. The City Council has approved similar resolutions with the previous equipment leases.

Commission Recommendation
Not applicable
Strategic Plan Integration
The City has a Strategic Plan goal to achieve a Financially Sound City Government. Managing existing debt to achieve savings is a critical tool available to the Administrative Services Department to achieve that goal.

Financing the equipment over multiple years will allow flexibility in budgeting rather than incurring the capital costs in one fiscal year.

Alternatives
As an alternative to the recommended action, the Council could: 1) reject the award of contract under purchasing alliances with other governmental jurisdictions under the City’s adopted Administrative Policy and instead recommend that staff issue its own Request for Proposals obtain multiple quotes from various lenders and return for approval of financing once competitive bids have been received; or 2) not approve staff’s recommendation to lease-finance the purchase of the equipment, though this authorization was provided by Council with adoption of the budget, so neither of the alternatives are recommended.

Coordination and Review
N/A
Budget/Cost Impact
The total cost for the equipment is $170,000. Financing the capital investment is proposed to be funded through a lease-purchase agreement with U.S. Bancorp over a 5-year period and will involve debt service payments of approximately $37,500 annually. The U.S Bancorp loan will be secured at the current day’s favorable rates for municipal debt at an approximate interest rate of 4.91%.

3.01 Covenants of Lessee. As of the Commencement Date for each Property Schedule executed and delivered hereunder, Lessee shall be deemed to represent, covenant and warrant for the benefit of Lessor as follows:
(a) Lessee is a public body corporate and politic duly organized and existing under the constitution and laws of the State with full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the Property Schedule and the transactions contemplated thereby and to perform all of its obligations thereunder.

Lessee covenants and agrees that it will use the proceeds of the Property Schedule as soon as practicable and with all reasonable dispatch for the purpose for which the Property Schedule has been entered into, and that no part of the proceeds of the Property Schedule shall be invested in any securities, obligations or other investments except for the temporary period pending such use nor used, at any time, directly or indirectly, in a manner which, if such use had been reasonably anticipated on the date of issuance of the Agreement, would have caused any portion of the Property Schedule to be or become "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 103(b)(2) or Section 148 of the Code and the regulations of the Treasury Department thereunder proposed or in effect at the time of such use and applicable to obligations issued on the date of issuance of the Property Schedule. (g) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Property Schedule and compliance with the provisions hereof and thereof by Lessee does not conflict with or result in a violation or breach or constitute a default under, any resolution, bond, agreement, indenture, mortgage, note, lease or other instrument to which Lessee is a party or by which it is bound by any law or any rule, regulation, order or decree of any court, governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over Lessee or any of its activities or properties resulting in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or other security interest or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any property or assets of Lessee or to which it is subject. (h) Lessee's exact legal name is as set forth on the first page of this Agreement. Lessee will not change its legal name in any respect without giving thirty (30) days prior notice to Lessor.

ARTICLE IV

4.01 Lease of Property. On the Commencement Date of each Property Schedule executed hereunder, Lessor will be deemed to demise, lease and let to Lessee, and Lessee will be deemed to rent, lease and hire from Lessor, the Property described in such Property Schedule, in accordance with this Agreement and such Property Schedule, for the Lease Term set forth in such Property Schedule.

4.02 Lease Term. The term of each Property Schedule shall commence on the Commencement Date set forth therein and shall terminate upon payment of the final Lease Payment set forth in such Property Schedule and the exercise of the Purchase Option described in Section 11.01, unless terminated sooner pursuant to this Agreement or the Property Schedule.

4.03 Delivery, Installation and Acceptance of Property. Lessee shall order the Property, shall cause the Property to be delivered and installed at the locations specified in the applicable Property Schedule and shall pay all taxes, delivery costs and installation costs, if any, in connection therewith. To the extent funds are deposited under an escrow agreement or trust agreement for the acquisition of the Property, such funds shall be disbursed as provided therein. When the Property described in such Property Schedule is delivered, installed and accepted as to Lessee's specifications, Lessee shall immediately accept the Property and evidence said acceptance by executing and delivering to Lessor the Acceptance Certificate substantially in the form attached to the Property Schedule.

ARTICLE V

5.01 Enjoyment of Property. Lessee shall during the Lease Term peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Property, without suit, trouble or hindrance from Lessor, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Lessor shall not interfere with such quiet use and enjoyment during the Lease Term so long as Lessee is not in default under the subject Property Schedule.

5.02 Location; Inspection. The Property will be initially located or based at the location specified in the applicable Property Schedule. Lessor shall have the right at all reasonable times during business hours to enter into and upon the property of Lessee for the purpose of inspecting the Property.

ARTICLE VI

6.01 Lease Payments to Constitute a Current Expense of Lessee. Lessor and Lessee understand and intend that the obligation of Lessee to pay Lease Payments hereunder shall constitute a current expense of Lessee and shall not in any way be construed to be a debt of Lessee in contravention of any applicable constitutional, statutory or charter limitation or requirement concerning the creation of indebtedness by Lessee, nor shall anything contained herein constitute a pledge of the faith and credit or taxing power of Lessee. Upon the appropriation of Lease Payments for a fiscal year, the Lease Payments for said fiscal year, and only the Lease Payments for said current fiscal year, shall be a binding obligation of Lessee; provided that such obligation shall not include a pledge of the taxing power of Lessee.

6.02 Payment of Lease Payments. Lessee shall promptly pay Lease Payments under each Property Schedule, exclusively from legally available funds, in lawful money of the United States of America, to Lessor in such amounts and on such dates as described in the applicable Property Schedule, at Lessor's address set forth on the first page of this Agreement, unless Lessor instructs Lessee otherwise. Lessee shall pay Lessor a charge on any delinquent Lease Payments under a Property Schedule in an amount sufficient to cover all additional costs and expenses incurred by Lessor from such delinquent Lease Payment. In addition, Lessee shall pay a late charge of five cents per dollar or the highest amount permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower, on all delinquent Lease Payments and interest on said delinquent amounts from the date such amounts were due until paid at the rate of 12% per annum or the maximum amount permitted by law, whichever is less.

6.03 Interest Component. A portion of each Lease Payment due under each Property Schedule is paid as, and represents payment of, interest, and each Property Schedule hereunder shall set forth the interest component (or method of computation thereof) of each Lease Payment thereunder during the Lease Term.

6.04 Lease Payments to be Unconditional. SUBJECT TO SECTION 6.06, THE OBLIGATIONS OF LESSEE TO PAY THE LEASE PAYMENTS DUE UNDER THE

PROPERTY SCHEDULES AND TO PERFORM AND OBSERVE THE OTHER COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL BE ABSOLUTE AND

UNCONDITIONAL IN ALL EVENTS WITHOUT ABATEMENT, DIMINUTION, DEDUCTION, SET-OFF OR DEFENSE, FOR ANY REASON, INCLUDING WITHOUT

LIMITATION, ANY DEFECTS, MALFUNCTIONS, BREAKDOWNS OR INFIRMITIES IN THE PROPERTY OR ANY ACCIDENT, CONDEMNATION OR UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES. THIS PROVISION SHALL NOT LIMIT LESSEE'S RIGHTS OR ACTIONS AGAINST ANY VENDOR AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 10.02.

6.05 Continuation of Lease by Lessee. Lessee intends to continue all Property Schedules entered into pursuant to this Agreement and to pay the Lease Payments thereunder. Lessee reasonably believes that legally available funds in an amount sufficient to make all Lease Payments during the term of all Property Schedules can be obtained. Lessee agrees that its staff will provide during the budgeting process for each budget year to the governing body of Lessee notification of any Lease Payments due under the Property Schedules during the following budget year. Notwithstanding this covenant, if Lessee fails to appropriate the Lease Payments for a Property Schedule pursuant to Section 6.06, such Property Schedule shall terminate at the end of the then current Original Term or Renewal Term. Although Lessee has made this covenant, in the event that it fails to provide such notice, no remedy is provided and Lessee shall not be liable for any damages for its failure to so comply.

6.06 Nonappropriation. If during the then current Original Term or Renewal Term, sufficient funds are not appropriated to make Lease Payments required under a Property Schedule for the following fiscal year, Lessee shall be deemed to not have renewed such Property Schedule for the following fiscal year and the Property Schedule shall terminate at the end of the then current Original Term or Renewal Term and Lessee shall not be obligated to make Lease Payments under said Property Schedule beyond the then current fiscal year for which funds have been appropriated. Upon the occurrence of such nonappropriation (a "Nonappropriation Event") Lessee shall, no later than the end of the fiscal year for which Lease Payments have been appropriated, deliver possession of the Property under said Property Schedule to Lessor. If Lessee fails to deliver possession of the Property to Lessor upon termination of said Property Schedule by reason of a Nonappropriation Event, the termination shall nevertheless be effective but Lessee shall be responsible for the payment of damages in an amount equal to the portion of Lease Payments thereafter coming due that is attributable to the 664 number of days after the termination during which the Lessee fails to deliver possession and for any other loss suffered by Lessor as a result of Lessee's failure to deliver possession as required. In addition, Lessor may, by written instructions to any escrow agent who is holding proceeds of the Property Schedule, instruct such escrow agent to release all such proceeds and any earnings thereon to Lessor, such sums to be credited to Lessee's obligations under the Property Schedule and this Agreement. Lessee shall notify Lessor in writing within seven (7) days after the failure of the Lessee to appropriate funds sufficient for the payment of the Lease Payments, but failure to provide such notice shall not operate to extend the Lease Term or result in any liability to Lessee.

6.07 Defeasance of Lease Payments. Lessee may at any time irrevocably deposit in escrow with a defeasance escrow agent for the purpose of paying all of the principal component and interest component accruing under a Property Schedule, a sum of cash and non-callable securities consisting of direct obligations of, or obligations the principal of an interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by, the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality thereof, in such aggregate amount, bearing interest at such rates and maturing on such dates as shall be required to provide funds sufficient for this purpose. Upon such defeasance, all right, title and interest of Lessor in the Property under said Property Schedule shall terminate. Lessee shall cause such investment to comply with the requirements of federal tax law so that the exclusion from gross income of the interest component of Lease Payments on said Property Schedule is not adversely affected.

6.08 Gross-Up. If an Event of Taxability occurs with respect to a Property Schedule, the interest component of Lease Payments on the Property Schedule shall thereafter be payable at the Taxable Rate, and Lessee shall pay to Lessor promptly following demand an amount sufficient to supplement prior Lease Payments on such Property Schedule so that Lessor receives the interest component of such Lease Payments, retroactive to the date as of which the interest component is determined to be includible in the gross income of Lessor for federal income tax purposes, calculated at the Taxable Rate, together with any penalties and interest actually imposed on Lessor as a result of the Event of Taxability. For purposes of this Section, “Event of Taxability” means, with respect to a Property Schedule, (a) a final determination by the Internal Revenue Service or a court of competent jurisdiction that the interest component of Lease Payments on the Property Schedule is includible for federal income tax purposes in the gross income of Lessor, or (b) receipt by Lessor of a written opinion of a nationally recognized public finance lawyer or law firm to the effect that there exists substantial doubt whether the interest component of Lease Payments on the Property Schedule is excludible for federal income tax purposes from the gross income of Lessor, in each case due to any action or failure to take action by Lessee. “Taxable Rate” means an interest rate calculated to provide Lessor with an after-tax yield equivalent to the yield provided to Lessor by the interest rate at which the interest component of Lease Payments on a Property Schedule was originally calculated.

ARTICLE VII

7.01 Title to the Property. Upon acceptance of the Property by Lessee and unless otherwise required by the laws of the State, title to the Property shall vest in Lessee, subject to Lessor's interests under the applicable Property Schedule and this Agreement.

7.02 Personal Property. The Property is and will remain personal property and will not be deemed to be affixed to or a part of the real estate on which it may be situated, notwithstanding that the Property or any part thereof may be or hereafter become in any manner physically affixed or attached to real estate or any building thereon.

If requested by Lessor, Lessee will, at Lessee's expense, furnish a waiver of any interest in the Property from any party having an interest in any such real estate or building.

7.03 Security Interest. To the extent permitted by law and to secure the performance of all of Lessee's obligations under this Agreement with respect to a Property Schedule, including without limitation all Property Schedules now existing are hereafter executed, Lessee grants to Lessor, for the benefit of Lessor and its successors and assigns, a security interest constituting a first lien on Lessee's interest in all of the Property under the Property Schedule, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, all additions, attachments, alterations and accessions to the Property, all substitutions and replacements for the Property, and on any proceeds of any of the foregoing, including insurance proceeds. Lessee shall execute any additional documents, including financing statements, affidavits, notices and similar instruments, in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor, which Lessor deems necessary or appropriate to establish, maintain and perfect a security interest in the Property in favor of Lessor and its successors and assigns. Lessee hereby authorizes Lessor to file all financing statements which Lessor deems necessary or appropriate to establish, maintain and perfect such security interest.

ARTICLE VIII

8.01 Maintenance of Property by Lessee. Lessee shall keep and maintain the Property in good condition and working order and in compliance with the manufacturer's specifications, shall use, operate and maintain the Property in conformity with all laws and regulations concerning the Property's ownership, possession, use and maintenance, and shall keep the Property free and clear of all liens and claims, other than those created by this Agreement. Lessee shall have sole responsibility to maintain and repair the Property. Should Lessee fail to maintain, preserve and keep the Property in good repair and working order and in accordance with manufacturer's specifications, and if requested by Lessor, Lessee will enter into maintenance contracts for the Property in form approved by Lessor and with approved providers.

8.02 Liens, Taxes, Other Governmental Charges and Utility Charges. Lessee shall keep the Property free of all levies, liens and encumbrances, except for the interest of Lessor under this Agreement. The parties to this Agreement contemplate that the Property will be used for a governmental or proprietary purpose of Lessee and, therefore, that the Property will be exempt from all property taxes. The Lease Payments payable by Lessee under this Agreement and the Property Schedules hereunder have been established to reflect the savings resulting from this exemption from taxation. Lessee will take such actions necessary under applicable law to obtain said exemption. Nevertheless, if the use, possession or acquisition of the Property is determined to be subject to taxation or later becomes subject to such taxes, Lessee shall pay when due all taxes and governmental charges lawfully assessed or levied against or with respect to the Property. Lessee shall pay all gas, water, steam, electricity, heat, power, telephone, utility and other charges incurred in the operation, maintenance, use, occupancy and upkeep of the Property. Lessee shall pay such taxes or charges as the same may become due; provided that, with respect to any such taxes or charges that may lawfully be paid in installments over a period of years, Lessee shall be obligated to pay only such installments as accrue during the then current fiscal year of the Lease Term for such Property.

8.03 Insurance. At its own expense, Lessee shall maintain (a) casualty insurance insuring the Property against loss or damage by fire and all other risks covered by the standard extended coverage endorsement then in use in the State and any other risks reasonably required by Lessor in an amount equal to at least the outstanding principal component of Lease Payments, and (b) liability insurance that protects Lessor from liability in all events in an amount reasonably acceptable to Lessor, and (c) worker's compensation insurance covering all employees working on, in, near or about the Property; provided that Lessee may self-insure against all such risks. All insurance proceeds from casualty losses shall be payable as hereinafter provided in this Agreement. All such insurance shall be with insurers that are authorized to issue such insurance in the State. All such liability insurance shall name Lessor as an additional insured. All such casualty insurance shall contain a provision making any losses payable to Lessor and Lessee as their respective interests may appear. All such insurance shall contain a provision to the effect that such insurance shall not be canceled or modified without first giving written notice thereof to Lessor and Lessee at least thirty (30) days in advance of such cancellation or modification. Such changes shall not become effective without Lessor's prior written consent. Lessee shall furnish to Lessor, on or before the Commencement Date for each Property Schedule, and thereafter at Lessor's request, certificates evidencing such coverage, or, if Lessee self-insures, a written description of its self-insurance program together with a certification from Lessee's risk manager or insurance agent or consultant to the effect that Lessee's self-insurance program provides adequate coverage against the risks listed above.

8.04 Advances. In the event Lessee shall fail to either maintain the insurance required by this Agreement or keep the Property in good repair and working order, Lessor may, but shall be under no obligation to, purchase the required insurance and pay the cost of the premiums thereof or maintain and repair the Property and pay the cost thereof. All amounts so advanced by Lessor shall constitute additional rent for the Lease Term for the applicable Property Schedule and shall be due and payable on the next Lease Payment Date and Lessee covenants and agrees to pay such amounts so advanced by Lessor with interest thereon from the date such amounts are advanced until paid at the rate of 12% per annum or the maximum amount permitted by law, whichever is less.

ARTICLE IX

9.01 Damage or Destruction. If (a) the Property under a Property Schedule or any portion thereof is destroyed, in whole or in part, or is damaged by fire or other casualty, or (b) title to, or the temporary use of, the Property under a Property Schedule or any part thereof shall be taken under the exercise or threat of the power of eminent domain by any governmental body or by any person, firm or corporation acting pursuant to governmental authority, Lessor and Lessee will cause the Net Proceeds (as hereinafter defined) of any insurance claim, condemnation award or sale under threat of condemnation to be applied to the prompt replacement, repair, restoration, modification or improvement of the Property, unless Lessee shall have exercised its right to defease the Property Schedule as provided herein, or unless Lessee shall have exercised its option to purchase Lessor's interest in the Property if the Property Schedule so provides. Any balance of the Net Proceeds remaining after such work has been completed shall be paid to Lessee. For purposes of Section 8.03 and this Article IX, the term "Net Proceeds" shall mean the amount remaining from the gross proceeds of any insurance claim, condemnation award or sale under threat of condemnation after deducting all expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in the collection thereof.

9.02 Insufficiency of Net Proceeds. If the Net Proceeds are insufficient to pay in full the cost of any repair, restoration, modification or improvement referred to in Section 9.01, Lessee shall (a) complete such replacement, repair, restoration, modification or improvement and pay any costs thereof in excess of the amount of the Net Proceeds and, if Lessee shall make any payments pursuant to this Section, Lessee shall not be entitled to any reimbursement therefor from Lessor nor shall Lessee be 665 entitled to any diminution of the amounts payable under Section 6.02, or (b) defease the Property Schedule pursuant to Section 6.07, or (c) exercise its option to purchase Lessor's interest in the Property pursuant to the optional purchase provisions of the Property Schedule, if any. The amount of the Net Proceeds, if any, remaining after completing such repair, restoration, modification or improvement or after such defeasance or purchase may be retained by Lessee.

ARTICLE X

10.01 Disclaimer of Warranties. LESSOR MAKES NO (AND SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE ANY) WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO ANY

MATTER WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE DESIGN, OPERATION OR CONDITION OF, OR THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL, EQUIPMENT

OR WORKMANSHIP IN, THE PROPERTY, ITS MERCHANTABILITY OR ITS FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, THE STATE OF TITLE THERETO OR ANY COMPONENT THEREOF, THE ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS (WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE), AND LESSOR HEREBY DISCLAIMS THE SAME; IT BEING UNDERSTOOD THAT THE PROPERTY IS LEASED TO LESSEE "AS IS" ON THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE DATE OF DELIVERY, WHICHEVER IS LATER, AND ALL SUCH RISKS, IF ANY, ARE TO BE BORNE BY LESSEE. Lessee acknowledges that it has made (or will make) the selection of the Property from the Vendor based on its own judgment and expressly disclaims any reliance upon any statements or representations made by Lessor. Lessee understands and agrees that (a) neither the Vendor nor any sales representative or other agent of Vendor, is (i) an agent of Lessor, or (ii) authorized to make or alter any term or condition of this Agreement, and (b) no such waiver or alteration shall vary the terms of this Agreement unless expressly set forth herein. In no event shall Lessor be liable for any incidental, indirect, special or consequential damage in connection with or arising out of this Agreement, the Property Schedules, or the existence, furnishing, functioning or use of any item, product or service provided for in this Agreement or the Property Schedules.

10.02 Vendor's Warranties. Lessor hereby irrevocably assigns to Lessee all rights that Lessor may have to assert from time to time whatever claims and rights (including without limitation warranties) related to the Property against the Vendor. Lessee's sole remedy for the breach of such warranty, indemnification or representation shall be against the Vendor of the Property, and not against Lessor, nor shall such matter have any effect whatsoever on the rights and obligations of Lessor with respect to this Agreement, including the right to receive full and timely payments hereunder. Lessee expressly acknowledges that Lessor makes, and has made, no representations or warranties whatsoever as to the existence or the availability of such warranties of the Vendor of the Property.

10.03 Use of the Property. Lessee will not install, use, operate or maintain the Property improperly, carelessly, in violation of any applicable law or in a manner contrary to that contemplated by this Agreement and the applicable Property Schedule. Lessee shall provide all permits and licenses, if any, necessary for the installation and operation of the Property. In addition, Lessee agrees to comply in all respects with all laws of the jurisdiction in which its operations involving any item of Property may extend and any legislative, executive, administrative or judicial body exercising any power or jurisdiction over the items of the Property; provided that Lessee may contest in good faith the validity or application of any such law or rule in any reasonable manner that does not, in the opinion of Lessor, adversely affect the interest of Lessor in and to the Property or its interest or rights under this Agreement. Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor in writing of any pending or threatened investigation, inquiry, claim or action by any governmental authority which could adversely affect this Agreement, any Property Schedule or the Property thereunder.

10.04 Modifications. Subject to the provisions of this Section, Lessee shall have the right, at its own expense, to make alterations, additions, modifications or improvements to the Property. All such alterations, additions, modifications and improvements shall thereafter comprise part of the Property and shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Such alterations, additions, modifications and improvements shall not in any way damage the Property, substantially alter its nature or cause it to be used for purposes other than those authorized under the provisions of state and federal law; and the Property, on completion of any alterations, additions, modifications or improvements made pursuant to this Section, shall be of a value which is equal to or greater than the value of the Property immediately prior to the making of such alterations, additions, modifications and improvements. Lessee shall, at its own expense, make such alterations, additions, modifications and improvements to the Property as may be required from time to time by applicable law or by any governmental authority.

ARTICLE XI

11.01 Option to Purchase. Lessee shall have the option to purchase Lessor's entire interest in all of the Property subject to a Property Schedule and to terminate any restrictions herein on the Property under such Property Schedule on the last day of the Lease Term for a Property Schedule, if the Property Schedule is still in effect on such day, upon payment in full of the Lease Payments due thereunder plus payment of One (1) Dollar to Lessor. Upon exercise of the purchase option as set forth in this Section

11.01 and payment of the purchase price under the applicable Property Schedule, and performance by Lessee of all other terms, conditions and provisions hereof, Lessor shall deliver to Lessee all such documents and instruments as Lessee may reasonably require to evidence the transfer, without warranty by or recourse to Lessor, of all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the Property subject to such Property Schedule to Lessee.

11.02 Option to Prepay. Lessee shall have the option to prepay in whole the Lease Payments due under a Property Schedule, but only if the Property Schedule so provides, and on the terms set forth in the Property Schedule. Lessee shall give written notice to Lessor of its intent to purchase Lessor's interest in the Property at least sixty (60) days prior to the last day of the Lease Term for applicable Property Schedule.

ARTICLE XII

12.01 Assignment by Lessor. Lessor's right, title and interest in, to and under each Property Schedule and the Property under such Property Schedule may be assigned and reassigned in whole or in part to one or more assignees or subassignees by Lessor without the necessity of obtaining the consent of Lessee; provided that any assignment shall not be effective until Lessee has received written notice, signed by the assignor, of the name, address and tax identification number of the assignee. Lessee shall retain all such notices as a register of all assignees and shall make all payments to the assignee or assignees designated in such register. Lessee agrees to execute all documents, including notices of assignment and chattel mortgages or financing statements that may be reasonably requested by Lessor or any assignee to protect its interests in this Agreement and the Property Schedules.

12.02 Property Schedules Separate Financings. Assignees of the Lessor's rights in one Property Schedule shall have no rights in any other Property Schedule unless such rights have been separately assigned.

12.03 Assignment and Subleasing by Lessee. NONE OF LESSEE'S RIGHT, TITLE AND INTEREST IN, TO AND UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND IN THE PROPERTY MAY BE ASSIGNED, SUBLEASED OR ENCUMBERED BY LESSEE FOR ANY REASON, WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF LESSOR.

12.04 Release and Indemnification Covenants. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lessee shall indemnify, protect, hold harmless, save and keep harmless Lessor from and against any and all liability, obligation, loss, claim and damage whatsoever, regardless of cause thereof, and all expenses in connection therewith, including, without limitation, counsel fees and expenses, penalties and interest (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of or resulting from the entering into this Agreement, any Property Schedules hereunder, the ownership of any item of the Property, the loss of federal tax exemption of the interest on any of the Property Schedules, the ordering, acquisition, use, operation, condition, purchase, delivery, rejection, storage or return of any item of the Property or any accident in connection with the operation, use, condition, possession, storage or return of any item of the Property resulting in damage to property or injury to or death to any person; provided, however, that Lessee shall not be required to indemnify Lessor for Losses arising out of or resulting from Lessor's own willful or negligent conduct, or for Losses arising out of or resulting from Lessor's preparation of disclosure material relating to certificates of participation in this Agreement and any Property Schedule (other than disclosure material provided to Lessor by Lessee). The indemnification arising under this Section shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the full payment of all obligations under this Agreement, or the applicable Property Schedule, or the termination of the Lease Term for such Property Schedule for any reason.

ARTICLE XIII

13.01 Events of Default Defined. Any of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” under a Property Schedule:
(a) Failure by Lessee to pay any Lease Payment under the Property Schedule or other payment required to be paid with respect thereto at the time specified therein;
(b) Failure by Lessee to observe and perform any covenant, condition or agreement on its part to be observed or performed with respect to the Property Schedule, other than as referred to in subparagraph (a) above, for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice specifying such failure and requesting that it be remedied is given to Lessee by Lessor, unless Lessor shall agree in writing to an extension of such time prior to its expiration; provided that, if the failure stated in the notice cannot be corrected within the applicable period, Lessor will not unreasonably withhold its consent to an extension of such time if corrective action is instituted by Lessee within the applicable period and diligently pursued until the default is corrected; 666
(c) Any statement, representation or warranty made by Lessee in or pursuant to the Property Schedule or its execution, delivery or performance shall prove to have been false, incorrect, misleading or breached in any material respect on the date when made; (d) Lessee shall (i) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or liquidator of Lessee, or of all or a substantial part of the assets of Lessee, (ii) be unable, fail or admit in writing its inability generally to pay its debts as they become due, (iii) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iv) have an order for relief entered against it under applicable federal bankruptcy law, or (v) file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or a petition or an answer seeking reorganization or an arrangement with creditors or taking advantage of any insolvency law or any answer admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against Lessee in any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceeding; or (e) An order, judgment or decree shall be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction, approving a petition or appointing a receiver, trustee, custodian or liquidator of Lessee or of all or a substantial part of the assets of Lessee, in each case without its application, approval or consent, and such order, judgment or decree shall continue unstayed and in effect for any period of 60 consecutive days.

The foregoing provisions of Section 13.01 are subject to the following limitation: if by reason of force majeure Lessee is unable in whole or in part to perform its agreements under this Agreement and the Property Schedule (other than any obligations on the part of Lessee to make any payments hereunder) Lessee shall not be in default during the continuance of such inability. The term "force majeure" as used herein shall mean the following: acts of God; strikes, lockouts or other industrial disturbances; acts of public enemies; orders or restraints of any kind of the government of the United States or of the State or any of their departments, agencies or officials, or any civil or military authority; insurrections, riots, landslides, earthquakes, fires, storms, droughts, floods, explosions, breakage or accident to machinery, transmission pipes or canals; or any other cause or event not reasonably within the control of Lessee.

A Nonappropriation Event is not an Event of Default.

13.02 Remedies on Default. Whenever any Event of Default exists with respect to a Property Schedule, Lessor shall have the right, at its sole option without any further demand or notice, to take one or any combination of the following remedial steps:
(a) Without terminating the Property Schedule, and by written notice to Lessee, Lessor may declare all Lease Payments and other amounts payable by Lessee thereunder to the end of the then-current budget year of Lessee to be due, including without limitation delinquent Lease Payments under the Property Schedule from prior budget years, and such amounts shall thereafter bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less;
(b) Lessor may terminate the Property Schedule, may enter the premises where the Property subject to the Property Schedule is located and retake possession of the Property, or require Lessee, at Lessee's expense, to promptly return any or all of the Property to the possession of Lessor at such place within the United States as Lessor shall specify, and Lessor may thereafter dispose of the Property in accordance with Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State; provided, however, that any proceeds from the disposition of the property in excess of the sum required to (i) pay off any outstanding principal component of Lease Payments, (ii) pay any other amounts then due under the Property Schedule, and (iii) pay Lessor's costs and expenses associated with the disposition of the Property (including attorneys fees), shall be paid to Lessee or such other creditor of Lessee as may be entitled thereto, and further provided that no deficiency shall be allowed against Lessee except with respect to unpaid costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in connection with the disposition of the Property;
(c) By written notice to any escrow agent who is holding proceeds of the Property Schedule, Lessor may instruct such escrow agent to release all such proceeds and any earnings thereon to Lessor, such sums to be credited to payment of Lessee's obligations under the Property Schedule; (d) Lessor may take any action, at law or in equity, that is permitted by applicable law and that may appear necessary or desirable to enforce or to protect any of its rights under the Property Schedule and this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay items (i) to (iii) in Section 13.02(b) in whole, Lessee shall remain obligated after application of proceeds to items (i) and (ii), to pay in whole the amounts for item (iii).

13.03 No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Lessor is intended to be exclusive and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Agreement now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle Lessor to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Article it shall not be necessary to give any notice, other than such notice as may be required in this Article.

13.04 Costs and Attorney Fees. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Lessee in the performance of any term of this Agreement, Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor or reimburse Lessor for, in addition to all other amounts due hereunder, all of Lessor's costs of collection, including reasonable attorney fees, whether or not suit or action is filed thereon. Any such costs shall be immediately due and payable upon written notice and demand given to Lessee, shall be secured by this Agreement until paid and shall bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum or the maximum amount permitted by law, whichever is less. In the event suit or action is instituted to enforce any of the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party such sum as the court may adjudge reasonable as attorneys' fees at trial or on appeal of such suit or action or in any bankruptcy proceeding, in addition to all other sums provided by law.

ARTICLE XIV

14.01 Notices. All notices, certificates or other communications hereunder shall be sufficiently given and shall be deemed given when delivered or mailed by certified mail, postage prepaid, to the parties hereto at the addresses as specified on the first page of this Agreement (or at such other address as either party hereto shall designate in writing to the other for notices to such party), to any assignee at its address as it appears on the registration books maintained by Lessee.

14.02 Arbitrage Certificates. Unless a separate Arbitrage Certificate is delivered on the Commencement Date, Lessee shall be deemed to make the following representations and covenants as of the Commencement Date for each Property Schedule:
(a) The estimated total costs, including taxes, freight, installation, and cost of issuance, of the Property under the Property Schedule will not be less than the total principal amount of the Lease Payments.
(b) The Property under the Property Schedule has been ordered or is expected to be ordered within six months after the Commencement Date and the Property is expected to be delivered and installed, and the Vendor fully paid, within eighteen months from the Commencement Date. Lessee will pursue the completion of the Property and the expenditure of the net proceeds of the Property Schedule with due diligence. (c) Lessee has not created or established, and does not expect to create or establish, any sinking fund or other similar fund (i) that is reasonably expected to be used to pay the Lease Payments under the Property Schedule, or (ii) that may be used solely to prevent a default in the payment of the Lease Payments under the Property Schedule.
(d) The Property under the Property Schedule has not been and is not expected to be sold or otherwise disposed of by Lessee, either in whole or in major part, prior to the last maturity of the Lease Payments under the Property Schedule. (e) There are no other obligations of Lessee which (i) are being sold within 15 days of the Commencement Date of the Property Schedule; (ii) are being sold pursuant to the same plan of financing as the Property Schedule; and (iii) are expected to be paid from substantially the same source of funds. (f) The officer or official who has executed the Property Schedule on Lessee's behalf is familiar with Lessee's expectations regarding the use and expenditure of the proceeds of the Property Schedule. To the best of Lessee's knowledge, information and belief, the facts and estimates set forth in herein are accurate and the expectations of Lessee set forth herein are reasonable.

14.03 Further Assurances. Lessee agrees to execute such other and further documents, including, without limitation, confirmatory financing statements, continuation statements, certificates of title and the like, and to take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate, from time to time, in the reasonable opinion of Lessor, to perfect, confirm, establish, reestablish, continue, or complete the interests of Lessor in this Agreement and the Property Schedules, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and to carry out the purposes and intentions of this Agreement and the Property Schedules.

14.04 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon Lessor and Lessee and their respective successors and assigns. 667

14.05 Severability. In the event any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such holding shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provision hereof.

14.06 Waiver of Jury Trials. Lessee and Lessor hereby irrevocably waive all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the actions of Lessor or Lessee in the negotiation, administration, performance or enforcement hereof.

14.07 Amendments, Changes and Modifications. This Agreement may be amended in writing by Lessor and Lessee to the extent the amendment or modification does not apply to outstanding Property Schedules at the time of such amendment or modification. The consent of all assignees shall be required to any amendment or modification before such amendment or modification shall be applicable to any outstanding Property Schedule.

14.08 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement and the Property Schedules hereunder may be simultaneously executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

14.09 Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State.

14.10 Captions. The captions or headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and in no way define, limit or describe the scope or intent of any provisions or sections of this Agreement.

14.11 Continuing Disclosure. Lessor acknowledges that, in connection with Lessee’s compliance with any continuing disclosure undertakings (each, a “Continuing Disclosure Agreement”) entered into by Lessee pursuant to SEC Rule 15c2-12 promulgated pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Rule”), Lessee may be required to file with the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board’s Electronic Municipal Market Access system, or its successor (“EMMA”), notice of its incurrence of its obligations under this Agreement and notice of any accommodation, waiver, amendment, modification of terms or other similar events reflecting financial difficulties in connection with this Agreement, in each case including a description of the material terms thereof (each such notice, an “EMMA Notice”). Lessee shall not file or submit or permit the filing or submission of any EMMA Notice that includes any of the following unredacted information regarding Lessor or the Escrow Agent: physical or mailing addresses, account information, e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, fax numbers, tax identification numbers, or titles or signatures of officers, employees or other signatories. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that Lessor is not responsible in connection with any EMMA Notice relating to this Agreement for Lessee’s compliance or noncompliance (or any claims, losses or liabilities arising therefrom) with the Rule, any Continuing Disclosure Agreement or any applicable securities laws, including but not limited to those relating to the Rule.

14.12 Electronic Transactions. Lessor and Lessee hereby agree that this Agreement, any Property Schedule entered into hereunder, and any other document or instrument entered into in connection herewith or therewith may be authenticated by electronic means, and expressly consent to the use of the electronic version of this Agreement, any Property Schedule and such other documents or instruments to embody the entire agreement and the understanding between Lessor and Lessee. Lessee agrees not to raise as a defense to the enforcement of this Agreement, any Property Schedule or any other document or instrument that it was executed or authenticated by electronic or digital means or that Lessee used facsimile or other electronic means to transmit Lessee's signature thereon. To the extent that Lessor accepts, in its sole discretion, any Property Schedule bearing Lessee’s electronic signature, Lessor shall have the sole right and discretion to mark a tangible counterpart hereof bearing Lessor’s manual or electronic signature as the “Original” and, to the extent the Property Schedule constitutes chattel paper (as defined by the UCC), perfection of a security interest in the Property Schedule by possession can only be accomplished by possession of the counterpart marked “Original”. To the extent that any Property Schedule has been authenticated by Lessor and Lessee in accordance with applicable law and exists as an electronic record that is controlled by Lessor (or any assignee of Lessor), such electronic record shall (pursuant to the rules and regulations of eOriginal, Inc.) constitute the original authoritative version of such Property Schedule; provided that if the “Paper Out” process shall have occurred pursuant to the eOriginal Product Reference Guide, then the “Paper Out” printed version of such Property Schedule as identified in the eOriginal audit record and corresponding affidavit shall constitute the sole authoritative version. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Lessor reserves the right to require Lessee to sign any document or instrument manually and to deliver to Lessor an original of this Agreement, any Property Schedule or other document or instrument. Lessee agrees to provide Lessor with such certificates of incumbency, certificates of completion, and metadata or other information from the electronic signature platform used by Lessee as Lessor shall request in order to confirm the due execution of this Agreement, any Property Schedule or other document or instrument, and shall cooperate with Lessor in obtaining any information or evidence from the provider of such electronic signature platform as Lessor may reasonably request.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Lessor and Lessee have caused this Agreement to be executed in their names by their duly authorized representatives as of the date first above written.

Property Schedule No. 1
Master Tax-Exempt Lease/Purchase Agreement
This Property Schedule No. 1 is entered into as of the Commencement Date set forth below, pursuant to that certain Master Tax-Exempt Lease/Purchase Agreement (the “Master Agreement”), dated as of August 10, 2026, between U.S. Bancorp Government Leasing and Finance, Inc., and City of West Sacramento.

1. Entire Agreement; Interpretation. The terms and conditions of the Master Agreement are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein.

The Master Agreement, this Property Schedule and the associated documents hereto constitute the entire agreement between Lessor and Lessee with respect to the Property and supersede any purchase order, invoice, request for proposal, response or other related document. Reference is made to the Master Agreement for all representations, covenants and warranties made by Lessee in the execution of this Property Schedule, unless specifically set forth herein. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of the Master Agreement and the provisions of this Property Schedule, the provisions of this Property Schedule shall control. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings provided in the Master Agreement.

2. Commencement Date. The Commencement Date for this Property Schedule is August 10, 2026.

3. Property Description and Payment Schedule. The Property subject to this Property Schedule is described in Exhibit 1 hereto. Lessee shall not remove such property from the locations set forth therein without giving prior written notice to Lessor. The Lease Payment Schedule for this Property Schedule is set forth in Exhibit 1.

4. Opinion. The Opinion of Lessee's Counsel is attached as Exhibit 2.

5. Lessee's Certificate. The Lessee's Certificate is attached as Exhibit 3.

6. Proceeds. Exhibit 4 is intentionally omitted.

7. Acceptance Certificate. Exhibit 5 is intentionally omitted.

8. Additional Purchase Option Provisions. In addition to the Purchase Option provisions set forth in the Master Agreement, Lease Payments payable under this Property Schedule shall be subject to prepayment in whole at any time by payment of the applicable Termination Amount set forth in Exhibit 1 (Payment Schedule) and payment of all accrued and unpaid interest through the date of prepayment.

9. Private Activity Issue. Lessee understands that among other things, in order to maintain the exclusion of the interest component of Lease Payments from gross income for federal income tax purposes, it must limit and restrict the rights private businesses (including, for this purpose, the federal government and its agencies and organizations described in the Code § 501(c)(3)) have to use the Property. Each of these requirements will be applied beginning on the later of the Commencement Date or date each portion of the Property is placed in service and will continue to apply until earlier of the end of the economic useful life of the property or the date the Agreement or any tax-exempt obligation issued to refund the Property Schedule is retired (the “Measurement Period”). Lessee will comply with the requirements of Section 141 of the Code and the regulations thereunder which provide restrictions on special legal rights that users other than Lessee or a state or local government or an agency or instrumentality of a state or a local government (an “Eligible User”) may have to use the Property. For this purpose, special legal rights may arise from a management or service agreement, lease, research agreement or other arrangement providing any entity except an Eligible User the right to use the Property. Any use of the Property by a user other than an Eligible User is referred to herein as “Non-Qualified Use”. Throughout the Measurement Period, all of the Property is expected to be owned by Lessee. Throughout the Measurement Period, Lessee will not permit the Non-Qualified Use of the Property to exceed 10%.

10. Bank Qualification and Arbitrage Rebate. Attached as Exhibit 6.

11. Expiration. Lessor, at its sole determination, may choose not to accept this Property Schedule if the fully executed, original Master Agreement (including this Property Schedule and all ancillary documents) is not received by Lessor at its place of business by August 26, 2026. (Page Intentionally left blank. Signature page to follow) 669
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Lessor and Lessee have caused this Property Schedule to be executed in their names by their duly authorized representatives as of the Commencement Date above.

RE: Property Schedule No. 1 dated as of August 10, 2026 to the Master Tax-Exempt Lease/Purchase Agreement dated August 10, 2026 between U.S. Bancorp Government Leasing and Finance, Inc. and City of West Sacramento.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to City of West Sacramento ("Lessee"), in connection with the Master TaxExempt Lease/Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 10, 2026 (the "Master Agreement"), between City of West Sacramento, as lessee, and U.S. Bancorp Government Leasing and Finance, Inc. as lessor (“Lessor”), and the execution of Property Schedule No. 1 (the "Property Schedule") dated as of August 10, 2026, pursuant to the Master Agreement. We have examined the law and such certified proceedings and other papers as we deem necessary to render this opinion.

All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings provided in the Master Agreement and Property Schedule.

As to questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied upon the representations of Lessee in the Master Agreement and the Property Schedule and in the certified proceedings and other certifications of public officials furnished to us without undertaking to verify the same by independent investigation.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, under existing law:

1. Lessee is a public body corporate and politic, duly organized and existing under the laws of the State, and has a substantial amount of one or more of the following sovereign powers: (a) the power to tax, (b) the power of eminent domain, and (c) the police power.

2. Lessee has all requisite power and authority to enter into the Master Agreement and the Property Schedule and to perform its obligations thereunder.

3. The execution, delivery and performance of the Master Agreement and the Property Schedule by Lessee has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Lessee.

4. All proceedings of Lessee and its governing body relating to the authorization and approval of the Master Agreement and the Property Schedule, the execution thereof and the transactions contemplated thereby have been conducted in accordance with all applicable open meeting laws and all other applicable state and federal laws.

5. Lessee has acquired or has arranged for the acquisition of the Property subject to the Property Schedule, and has entered into the Master Agreement and the Property Schedule, in compliance with all applicable public bidding laws. 673

6. Lessee has obtained all consents and approvals of other governmental authorities or agencies which may be required for the execution, delivery and performance by Lessee of the Master Agreement and the Property Schedule.

7. The Master Agreement and the Property Schedule have been duly executed and delivered by Lessee and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Lessee, enforceable against Lessee in accordance with the terms thereof, except insofar as the enforcement thereof may be limited by any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or other laws of equitable principles of general application, or of application to municipalities or political subdivisions such as the Lessee, affecting remedies or creditors' rights generally, and to the exercise of judicial discretion in appropriate cases.

8. As of the date hereof, based on such inquiry and investigation as we have deemed sufficient, no litigation is pending, (or, to our knowledge, threatened) against Lessee in any court (a) seeking to restrain or enjoin the delivery of the Master Agreement or the Property Schedule or of other agreements similar to the Master Agreement; (b) questioning the authority of Lessee to execute the Master Agreement or the Property Schedule, or the validity of the Master Agreement or the Property Schedule, or the payment of principal of or interest on, the Property Schedule; (c) questioning the constitutionality of any statute, or the validity of any proceedings, authorizing the execution of the Master Agreement and the Property Schedule; or (d) affecting the provisions made for the payment of or security for the Master Agreement and the Property Schedule.

This opinion may be relied upon by Lessor, its successors and assigns, and any other legal counsel who provides an opinion with respect to the Property Schedule.

Very truly yours,

Part II Certification
Under penalties of perjury, I certify that:

1. The number shown on this form is my correct taxpayer identification number (or I am waiting for a number to be issued to me); and

2. I am not subject to backup withholding because (a) I am exempt from backup withholding, or (b) I have not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that I am subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends, or (c) the IRS has notified me that I am no longer subject to backup withholding; and

Future developments. For the latest information about developments related to Form W-9 and its instructions, such as legislation enacted after they were published, go to www.irs.gov/FormW9.

What’s New
Line 3a has been modified to clarify how a disregarded entity completes this line. An LLC that is a disregarded entity should check the appropriate box for the tax classification of its owner. Otherwise, it should check the “LLC” box and enter its appropriate tax classification.

New line 3b has been added to this form. A flow-through entity is required to complete this line to indicate that it has direct or indirect foreign partners, owners, or beneficiaries when it provides the Form W-9 to another flow-through entity in which it has an ownership interest. This change is intended to provide a flow-through entity with information regarding the status of its indirect foreign partners, owners, or beneficiaries, so that it can satisfy any applicable reporting requirements. For example, a partnership that has any indirect foreign partners may be required to complete Schedules K-2 and K-3. See the Partnership Instructions for Schedules K-2 and K-3 (Form 1065).

Purpose of Form
An individual or entity (Form W-9 requester) who is required to file an information return with the IRS is giving you this form because they Cat. No. 10231X 688 Form W-9 (Rev. 3-2024)
Form W-9 (Rev. 3-2024) Page 2
must obtain your correct taxpayer identification number (TIN), which may be your social security number (SSN), individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN), adoption taxpayer identification number (ATIN), or employer identification number (EIN), to report on an information return the amount paid to you, or other amount reportable on an information return. Examples of information returns include, but are not limited to, the following.
• Form 1099-INT (interest earned or paid).
• Form 1099-DIV (dividends, including those from stocks or mutual funds).
• Form 1099-MISC (various types of income, prizes, awards, or gross proceeds).
• Form 1099-NEC (nonemployee compensation).
• Form 1099-B (stock or mutual fund sales and certain other transactions by brokers).
• Form 1099-S (proceeds from real estate transactions). • Form 1099-K (merchant card and third-party network transactions). • Form 1098 (home mortgage interest), 1098-E (student loan interest), and 1098-T (tuition).
• Form 1099-C (canceled debt).
• Form 1099-A (acquisition or abandonment of secured property).

Use Form W-9 only if you are a U.S. person (including a resident alien), to provide your correct TIN.

Caution: If you don’t return Form W-9 to the requester with a TIN, you might be subject to backup withholding. See What is backup withholding, later.

By signing the filled-out form, you:

1. Certify that the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are waiting for a number to be issued);

2. Certify that you are not subject to backup withholding; or

3. Claim exemption from backup withholding if you are a U.S. exempt payee; and

4. Certify to your non-foreign status for purposes of withholding under chapter 3 or 4 of the Code (if applicable); and

5. Certify that FATCA code(s) entered on this form (if any) indicating that you are exempt from the FATCA reporting is correct. See What Is FATCA Reporting, later, for further information.

Note: If you are a U.S. person and a requester gives you a form other than Form W-9 to request your TIN, you must use the requester’s form if it is substantially similar to this Form W-9.

Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are considered a U.S. person if you are:
• An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien; • A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States; • An estate (other than a foreign estate); or
• A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301.7701-7).

Establishing U.S. status for purposes of chapter 3 and chapter 4 withholding. Payments made to foreign persons, including certain distributions, allocations of income, or transfers of sales proceeds, may be subject to withholding under chapter 3 or chapter 4 of the Code (sections 1441–1474). Under those rules, if a Form W-9 or other certification of non-foreign status has not been received, a withholding agent, transferee, or partnership (payor) generally applies presumption rules that may require the payor to withhold applicable tax from the recipient, owner, transferor, or partner (payee). See Pub. 515, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities.

The following persons must provide Form W-9 to the payor for purposes of establishing its non-foreign status.
• In the case of a disregarded entity with a U.S. owner, the U.S. owner of the disregarded entity and not the disregarded entity. • In the case of a grantor trust with a U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner, generally, the U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner of the grantor trust and not the grantor trust.
• In the case of a U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust), the U.S. trust and not the beneficiaries of the trust.

See Pub. 515 for more information on providing a Form W-9 or a certification of non-foreign status to avoid withholding.

Foreign person. If you are a foreign person or the U.S. branch of a foreign bank that has elected to be treated as a U.S. person (under Regulations section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv) or other applicable section for chapter 3 or 4 purposes), do not use Form W-9. Instead, use the appropriate Form W-8 or Form 8233 (see Pub. 515). If you are a qualified foreign pension fund under Regulations section 1.897(l)-1(d), or a partnership that is wholly owned by qualified foreign pension funds, that is treated as a non-foreign person for purposes of section 1445 withholding, do not use Form W-9. Instead, use Form W-8EXP (or other certification of non-foreign status).

Nonresident alien who becomes a resident alien. Generally, only a nonresident alien individual may use the terms of a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. tax on certain types of income. However, most tax treaties contain a provision known as a saving clause. Exceptions specified in the saving clause may permit an exemption from tax to continue for certain types of income even after the payee has otherwise become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes.

If you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an exception contained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to claim an exemption from U.S. tax on certain types of income, you must attach a statement to Form W-9 that specifies the following five items.

1. The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same treaty under which you claimed exemption from tax as a nonresident alien.

2. The treaty article addressing the income.

3. The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that contains the saving clause and its exceptions.

4. The type and amount of income that qualifies for the exemption from tax.

5. Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of the treaty article.

Example. Article 20 of the U.S.-China income tax treaty allows an exemption from tax for scholarship income received by a Chinese student temporarily present in the United States. Under U.S. law, this student will become a resident alien for tax purposes if their stay in the United States exceeds 5 calendar years. However, paragraph 2 of the first Protocol to the U.S.-China treaty (dated April 30, 1984) allows the provisions of Article 20 to continue to apply even after the Chinese student becomes a resident alien of the United States. A Chinese student who qualifies for this exception (under paragraph 2 of the first Protocol) and is relying on this exception to claim an exemption from tax on their scholarship or fellowship income would attach to Form W-9 a statement that includes the information described above to support that exemption.

If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity, give the requester the appropriate completed Form W-8 or Form 8233.

Backup Withholding
What is backup withholding? Persons making certain payments to you must under certain conditions withhold and pay to the IRS 24% of such payments. This is called “backup withholding.” Payments that may be subject to backup withholding include, but are not limited to, interest, tax-exempt interest, dividends, broker and barter exchange transactions, rents, royalties, nonemployee pay, payments made in settlement of payment card and third-party network transactions, and certain payments from fishing boat operators. Real estate transactions are not subject to backup withholding.

You will not be subject to backup withholding on payments you receive if you give the requester your correct TIN, make the proper certifications, and report all your taxable interest and dividends on your tax return.

Payments you receive will be subject to backup withholding if:

1. You do not furnish your TIN to the requester;

2. You do not certify your TIN when required (see the instructions for Part II for details);

3. The IRS tells the requester that you furnished an incorrect TIN;

4. The IRS tells you that you are subject to backup withholding because you did not report all your interest and dividends on your tax return (for reportable interest and dividends only); or

5. You do not certify to the requester that you are not subject to backup withholding, as described in item 4 under “By signing the filledout form” above (for reportable interest and dividend accounts opened after 1983 only).
689
Form W-9 (Rev. 3-2024) Page 3
Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup withholding.

See Exempt payee code, later, and the separate Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9 for more information.

See also Establishing U.S. status for purposes of chapter 3 and chapter 4 withholding, earlier.

What Is FATCA Reporting?
The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) requires a participating foreign financial institution to report all U.S. account holders that are specified U.S. persons. Certain payees are exempt from FATCA reporting. See Exemption from FATCA reporting code, later, and the Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9 for more information.

Updating Your Information
You must provide updated information to any person to whom you claimed to be an exempt payee if you are no longer an exempt payee and anticipate receiving reportable payments in the future from this person. For example, you may need to provide updated information if you are a C corporation that elects to be an S corporation, or if you are no longer tax exempt. In addition, you must furnish a new Form W-9 if the name or TIN changes for the account, for example, if the grantor of a grantor trust dies.

Penalties
Failure to furnish TIN. If you fail to furnish your correct TIN to a requester, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.

Civil penalty for false information with respect to withholding. If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no backup withholding, you are subject to a $500 penalty.

Criminal penalty for falsifying information. Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.

Misuse of TINs. If the requester discloses or uses TINs in violation of federal law, the requester may be subject to civil and criminal penalties.

Specific Instructions
Line 1
You must enter one of the following on this line; do not leave this line blank. The name should match the name on your tax return.

If this Form W-9 is for a joint account (other than an account maintained by a foreign financial institution (FFI)), list first, and then circle, the name of the person or entity whose number you entered in Part I of Form W-9. If you are providing Form W-9 to an FFI to document a joint account, each holder of the account that is a U.S. person must provide a Form W-9.
• Individual. Generally, enter the name shown on your tax return. If you have changed your last name without informing the Social Security Administration (SSA) of the name change, enter your first name, the last name as shown on your social security card, and your new last name.

Note for ITIN applicant: Enter your individual name as it was entered on your Form W-7 application, line 1a. This should also be the same as the name you entered on the Form 1040 you filed with your application. • Sole proprietor. Enter your individual name as shown on your Form 1040 on line 1. Enter your business, trade, or “doing business as” (DBA) name on line 2.
• Partnership, C corporation, S corporation, or LLC, other than a disregarded entity. Enter the entity’s name as shown on the entity’s tax return on line 1 and any business, trade, or DBA name on line 2. • Other entities. Enter your name as shown on required U.S. federal tax documents on line 1. This name should match the name shown on the charter or other legal document creating the entity. Enter any business, trade, or DBA name on line 2.
• Disregarded entity. In general, a business entity that has a single owner, including an LLC, and is not a corporation, is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner (a disregarded entity). See Regulations section 301.7701-2(c)(2). A disregarded entity should check the appropriate box for the tax classification of its owner. Enter the owner’s name on line 1. The name of the owner entered on line 1 should never be a disregarded entity. The name on line 1 should be the name shown on the income tax return on which the income should be reported. For example, if a foreign LLC that is treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal tax purposes has a single owner that is a U.S. person, the U.S. owner’s name is required to be provided on line 1. If the direct owner of the entity is also a disregarded entity, enter the first owner that is not disregarded for federal tax purposes. Enter the disregarded entity’s name on line 2. If the owner of the disregarded entity is a foreign person, the owner must complete an appropriate Form W-8 instead of a Form W-9. This is the case even if the foreign person has a U.S. TIN.

Line 5
Enter your address (number, street, and apartment or suite number).

This is where the requester of this Form W-9 will mail your information returns. If this address differs from the one the requester already has on file, enter “NEW” at the top. If a new address is provided, there is still a chance the old address will be used until the payor changes your address in their records.

Line 6
Enter your city, state, and ZIP code.

Part I. Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)
Enter your TIN in the appropriate box. If you are a resident alien and you do not have, and are not eligible to get, an SSN, your TIN is your IRS ITIN. Enter it in the entry space for the Social security number. If you do not have an ITIN, see How to get a TIN below.

If you are a sole proprietor and you have an EIN, you may enter either your SSN or EIN.

If you are a single-member LLC that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner, enter the owner’s SSN (or EIN, if the owner has one). If the LLC is classified as a corporation or partnership, enter the entity’s EIN.

Note: See What Name and Number To Give the Requester, later, for further clarification of name and TIN combinations.

How to get a TIN. If you do not have a TIN, apply for one immediately.

To apply for an SSN, get Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, from your local SSA office or get this form online at www.SSA.gov. You may also get this form by calling 800-772-1213. Use Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, to apply for an ITIN, or Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number, to apply for an EIN. You can apply for an EIN online by accessing the IRS website at www.irs.gov/EIN. Go to www.irs.gov/Forms to view, download, or print Form W-7 and/or Form SS-4. Or, you can go to www.irs.gov/OrderForms to place an order and have Form W-7 and/or Form SS-4 mailed to you within 15 business days.

If you are asked to complete Form W-9 but do not have a TIN, apply for a TIN and enter “Applied For” in the space for the TIN, sign and date the form, and give it to the requester. For interest and dividend payments, and certain payments made with respect to readily tradable instruments, you will generally have 60 days to get a TIN and give it to the requester before you are subject to backup withholding on payments. The 60-day rule does not apply to other types of payments.

You will be subject to backup withholding on all such payments until you provide your TIN to the requester.

Note: Entering “Applied For” means that you have already applied for a TIN or that you intend to apply for one soon. See also Establishing U.S. status for purposes of chapter 3 and chapter 4 withholding, earlier, for when you may instead be subject to withholding under chapter 3 or 4 of the Code.

Caution: A disregarded U.S. entity that has a foreign owner must use the appropriate Form W-8.

Secure Your Tax Records From Identity Theft
Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal information, such as your name, SSN, or other identifying information, without your permission to commit fraud or other crimes. An identity thief may use your SSN to get a job or may file a tax return using your SSN to receive a refund.

To reduce your risk:
• Protect your SSN,
• Ensure your employer is protecting your SSN, and
• Be careful when choosing a tax return preparer.

If your tax records are affected by identity theft and you receive a notice from the IRS, respond right away to the name and phone number printed on the IRS notice or letter.

If your tax records are not currently affected by identity theft but you think you are at risk due to a lost or stolen purse or wallet, questionable credit card activity, or a questionable credit report, contact the IRS Identity Theft Hotline at 800-908-4490 or submit Form 14039.

For more information, see Pub. 5027, Identity Theft Information for Taxpayers.

Form W-9 (Rev. 3-2024) Page 6
Victims of identity theft who are experiencing economic harm or a systemic problem, or are seeking help in resolving tax problems that have not been resolved through normal channels, may be eligible for Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) assistance. You can reach TAS by calling the TAS toll-free case intake line at 877-777-4778 or TTY/TDD 800-829-4059.

Protect yourself from suspicious emails or phishing schemes.

Phishing is the creation and use of email and websites designed to mimic legitimate business emails and websites. The most common act is sending an email to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft.

The IRS does not initiate contacts with taxpayers via emails. Also, the IRS does not request personal detailed information through email or ask taxpayers for the PIN numbers, passwords, or similar secret access information for their credit card, bank, or other financial accounts.

If you receive an unsolicited email claiming to be from the IRS, forward this message to [email protected]. You may also report misuse of the IRS name, logo, or other IRS property to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) at 800-366-4484. You can forward suspicious emails to the Federal Trade Commission at [email protected] or report them at www.ftc.gov/complaint. You can contact the FTC at www.ftc.gov/idtheft or 877-IDTHEFT (877-438-4338).

If you have been the victim of identity theft, see www.IdentityTheft.gov and Pub. 5027.

Go to www.irs.gov/IdentityTheft to learn more about identity theft and how to reduce your risk.

Privacy Act Notice
Section 6109 of the Internal Revenue Code requires you to provide your correct TIN to persons (including federal agencies) who are required to file information returns with the IRS to report interest, dividends, or certain other income paid to you; mortgage interest you paid; the acquisition or abandonment of secured property; the cancellation of debt; or contributions you made to an IRA, Archer MSA, or HSA. The person collecting this form uses the information on the form to file information returns with the IRS, reporting the above information.

Routine uses of this information include giving it to the Department of Justice for civil and criminal litigation and to cities, states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. commonwealths and territories for use in administering their laws. The information may also be disclosed to other countries under a treaty, to federal and state agencies to enforce civil and criminal laws, or to federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies to combat terrorism. You must provide your TIN whether or not you are required to file a tax return. Under section 3406, payors must generally withhold a percentage of taxable interest, dividends, and certain other payments to a payee who does not give a TIN to the payor.

ESCROW AGREEMENT
THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT (“Escrow Agreement”) is made as of August 10, 2026 by and among U.S.

Bancorp Government Leasing and Finance, Inc. (“Lessor”), City of West Sacramento (“Lessee”) and U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as escrow agent (“Escrow Agent”).

Lessor and Lessee have heretofore entered into that certain Master Tax-Exempt Lease/Purchase Agreement dated as of August 10, 2026 (the “Master Agreement”) and a Property Schedule No. 1 thereto dated August 10, 2026 (the “Schedule” and, together with the terms and conditions of the Master Agreement incorporated therein, the “Agreement”). The Schedule contemplates that certain personal property described therein (the “Equipment”) is to be acquired from the vendor(s) or manufacturer(s) thereof (the “Vendor”). After acceptance of the Equipment by Lessee, the Equipment is to be financed by Lessor to Lessee pursuant to the terms of the Agreement.

The Master Agreement further contemplates that Lessor will deposit an amount equal to the anticipated aggregate acquisition cost of the Equipment (the “Purchase Price”), being $170,000.00, with Escrow Agent to be held in escrow and applied on the express terms set forth herein. Such deposit, together with all interest and other additions received with respect thereto (hereinafter the “Escrow Fund”) is to be applied to pay the Vendor its invoice cost (a portion of which may, if required, be paid prior to final acceptance of the Equipment by Lessee); and, if applicable, to reimburse Lessee for progress payments already made by it to the Vendor of the Equipment.

The parties desire to set forth the terms on which the Escrow Fund is to be created and to establish the rights and responsibilities of the parties hereto.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00) in hand paid, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Escrow Agent hereby agrees to serve as escrow agent upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

The moneys and investments held in the Escrow Fund are for the benefit of Lessee and Lessor, and such moneys, together with any income or interest earned thereon, shall be expended only as provided in this Escrow Agreement, and shall not be subject to levy or attachment or lien by or for the benefit of any creditor of either Lessee or Lessor. Lessor, Lessee and Escrow Agent intend that the Escrow Fund constitute an escrow account in which Lessee has no legal or equitable right, title or interest until satisfaction in full of all conditions contained herein for the disbursement of funds by the Escrow Agent therefrom. However, if the parties’ intention that Lessee shall have no legal or equitable right, title or interest until all conditions for disbursement are satisfied in full is not respected in any legal proceeding, the parties hereto intend that Lessor have a security interest in the Escrow Fund, and such security interest is hereby granted by Lessee to secure payment of all sums due to Lessor under the Master Agreement. For such purpose, Escrow Agent hereby agrees to act as agent for Lessor in connection with the perfection of such security interest and agrees to note, or cause to be noted, on all books and records relating to the Escrow Fund, the Lessor’s interest therein.

2. On such day as is determined to the mutual satisfaction of the parties (the “Closing Date”), Lessor shall deposit with Escrow Agent cash in the amount of the Purchase Price, to be held in escrow by Escrow Agent on the express terms and conditions set forth herein.

On the Closing Date, Escrow Agent agrees to accept the deposit of the Purchase Price by Lessor, and further agrees to hold the amount so deposited together with all interest and other additions received with respect thereto, as the Escrow Fund hereunder, in escrow on the express terms and conditions set forth herein.

3. Escrow Agent shall at all times segregate the Escrow Fund into an account maintained for that express purpose, which shall be clearly identified on the books and records of Escrow Agent as being held in its capacity as Escrow Agent. Securities and other negotiable instruments comprising the Escrow Fund from time to time shall be held or registered in the name of Escrow Agent (or its nominee). The Escrow Fund shall not, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be subject to levy or attachment or lien by or for the benefit of any creditor of any of the parties hereto (except with respect to the security interest therein held by Lessor).

4. The cash comprising the Escrow Fund from time to time shall be invested and reinvested by Escrow Agent in one or more investments as directed by Lessee. Absent written direction from Lessee, the cash will be invested in the U.S. Bank National Association Money Market Deposit Fund. See Exhibit 1 Investment Direction 696
Version 2020
Letter. Lessee represents and warrants to Escrow Agent and Lessor that the investments selected by Lessee for investment of the Escrow Fund are permitted investments for Lessee under all applicable laws. Escrow Agent will use due diligence to collect amounts payable under a check or other instrument for the payment of money comprising the Escrow Fund and shall promptly notify Lessee and Lessor in the event of dishonor of payment under any such check or other instruments. Interest or other amounts earned and received by Escrow Agent with respect to the Escrow Fund shall be deposited in and comprise a part of the Escrow Fund. Escrow Agent shall maintain accounting records sufficient to permit calculation of the income on investments and interest earned on deposit of amounts held in the Escrow Fund. The parties acknowledge that to the extent regulations of the Comptroller of Currency or other applicable regulatory entity grant a right to receive brokerage confirmations of security transactions of the escrow, the parties waive receipt of such confirmations, to the extent permitted by law.

The Escrow Agent shall furnish a statement of security transactions on its regular monthly reports. Attached as Exhibit 6 is the Class Action Negative Consent Letter to be reviewed by Lessee.

5. Upon request by Lessee and Lessor, Escrow Agent shall send monthly statements of account to Lessee and Lessor, which statements shall set forth all withdrawals from and interest earnings on the Escrow Fund as well as the investments in which the Escrow Fund is invested.

6. Escrow Agent shall take the following actions with respect to the Escrow Fund:
(a) Upon Escrow Agent’s acceptance of the deposit of the Purchase Price, an amount equal to Escrow Agent’s acceptance fee, as set forth on Exhibit 2 hereto, shall be disbursed from the Escrow Fund to Escrow Agent in payment of such fee.
(b) Escrow Agent shall pay costs of the Equipment upon receipt of a duly executed Requisition Request (substantially in the format of Exhibit 3) signed by Lessor and Lessee. Lessee’s authorized signatures are provided in Exhibit 5 attached hereto. Escrow Agent will use best efforts to process requests for payment within one (1) business day of receipt of requisitions received prior to 2:00 p.m. Central Time. The final Requisition shall be accompanied by a duly executed Final Acceptance Certificate form attached as Exhibit 4 hereto.

Escrow Agent is authorized but shall not be required to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to any person designated by the instructing party on Exhibit 5 hereto, and Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be a person so designated.

The persons and telephone numbers for call-backs may be changed only in writing actually received and acknowledged by Escrow Agent and shall be effective only after Escrow Agent has a reasonable opportunity to act on such changes. If Escrow Agent is unable to contact any of the designated representatives identified in Exhibit 5, Escrow Agent is hereby authorized but shall be under no duty to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to any one or more of Lessee’s or Lessor’s executive officers (“Executive Officers”), as Escrow Agent may select. Such Executive Officer shall deliver to Escrow Agent a fully executed incumbency certificate, and Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be any such officer. Lessee and Lessor agree that Escrow Agent may at its option record any telephone calls made pursuant to this Section. Escrow Agent in any funds transfer may rely solely upon any account numbers or similar identifying numbers provided by Lessee and Lessor to identify (i) the beneficiary, (ii) the beneficiary’s bank, or (iii) an intermediary bank, even when its use may result in a person other than the beneficiary being paid, or the transfer of funds to a bank other than the beneficiary’s bank or an intermediary bank so designated. Lessee and Lessor acknowledge that these optional security procedures are commercially reasonable. (c) Upon receipt by Escrow Agent of written notice from Lessor that an Event of Default or an Event of Nonappropriation (if provided for under the Master Agreement) has occurred under the Agreement, all funds then on deposit in the Escrow Fund shall be paid to Lessor for application in accordance with the Master Agreement, and this Escrow Agreement shall terminate. (d) Upon receipt by Escrow Agent of written notice from Lessor that the purchase price of the Equipment has been paid in full, Escrow Agent shall pay the funds then on deposit in the Escrow Fund to Lessor to be applied first to the next Lease Payment due under the Master Agreement, and second, to prepayment of the principal component of Lease Payments in inverse order of maturity without premium.

To the extent the Agreement is not subject to prepayment, Lessor consents to such prepayment to the extent of such prepayment amount from the Escrow Fund. Upon disbursement of all amounts in the Escrow Fund, this Escrow Agreement shall terminate.
697
Version 2020
(e) This Escrow Agreement shall terminate upon the distribution of all the amounts in the Escrow Fund pursuant to any applicable provision of this Agreement, and Escrow Agent will thereafter have no further obligation or liability whatsoever with respect to this Agreement.

7. The fees and expenses, including any legal fees, of Escrow Agent incurred in connection herewith shall be the responsibility of Lessee. The basic fees and expenses of Escrow Agent shall be as set forth on Exhibit 2 and Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to deduct such fees and expenses from the Escrow Fund as and when the same are incurred without any further authorization from Lessee or Lessor. Escrow Agent may employ legal counsel and other experts as it deems necessary for advice in connection with its obligations hereunder.

Escrow Agent waives any claim against Lessor with respect to compensation hereunder.

8. Escrow Agent shall have no liability for acting upon any written instruction presented by Lessor in connection with this Escrow Agreement, which Escrow Agent in good faith believes to be genuine. Furthermore, Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any act or omission in connection with this Escrow Agreement except for its own negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any loss or diminution in value of the Escrow Fund as a result of the investments made by Escrow Agent.

9. Escrow Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lessor and Lessee.

Assuming requisite information is provided by the payor to identify the applicable account, settlement proceeds of the class action litigation will be posted within a reasonable time following receipt of such proceeds to the entitled accounts that are open at such time. If entitled accounts are closed prior to distribution and receipt of settlement proceeds, they will be remitted to entitled beneficiaries or successors of the account net of any research and filing fees. Proceeds, less any research and filing fees, will be escheated if the entitled beneficiaries or successors of the account cannot be identified /located.

APPROVING THE FINANCING OF CERTAIN RECREATION CENTER FITNESS EQUIPMENT WHEREAS, in June 2020, the City Council approved an on-going budget appropriation for an equipment lease at the Recreation Center to replace cardio equipment at the end of the equipment’s useful life; and
WHEREAS, the current financing for the existing fitness equipment has ended, and the equipment has reached the end of its useful life;
WHEREAS, the City anticipates that it will issue debt obligations in the form of a lease agreement, the payments under which would contain a separately stated interest component for the purpose of financing the Project costs on a long-term basis; and WHEREAS, the City’s obligations under the lease agreement will be considered debt for federal income tax purposes; and
WHEREAS, the estimated annual principal amount of such debt expected to be issued to finance the Project costs is $37,500 over a 5-year term; and WHEREAS, the City expects to pay on and after the date hereof certain Project costs (“the Expenditures”); and
WHEREAS, in order to obtain favorable treatment of expenditures of proceeds of the debt obligations used to reimburse the Expenditures, Treasury Regulations section 1.150-2 requires the City to declare its official intent to reimburse the Expenditures with proceeds of debt.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of West Sacramento that:

1. Findings. The City Council hereby finds and determines that the foregoing recitals are true and correct.

3. Official Intent. The City hereby states that it reasonably expects to reimburse the Expenditures with proceeds of debt to be incurred by the City. The foregoing statement is a declaration of official intent that is made under and only for the purpose of establishing compliance with the requirements of Treasury Regulations section 1.150-2. This resolution does not bind the City to make any expenditure of Project costs or to incur any debt for the Project.

4. Capital Expenditures. Each Expenditure will be: (a) of a type properly chargeable to capital account under general federal income tax principles (determined in each case as of the date of the Expenditure), and (b) complies with all applicable Treasury regulations.

5. Reimbursement Allocations. The City will make a reimbursement allocation, which is a written allocation by the City that evidences the City’s use of proceeds of debt to reimburse an Expenditure, no later than 18 months after the later of the date on which the Expenditure is paid or the Project is placed in service or abandoned, but in no event more than three years after the date on which the Expenditure is paid.

6. Effective Date. This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its passage. 708
