Curbside Dropoff
Curbside voting allows the
voter to drop off their
ballot in a drive-thru style
setting.
The locations for curbside
voting depends on whether
the facility has ample space
to allow a steady flow of
traffic that can be easily
managed and safely
conducted by our vote
center staff.
Large parking spots and/or
long stretches of road
adjacent to the vote center
facility are ideal spaces to
conduct curbside voting.

IN RECOGNITION OF JUNE AS NATIONAL SAFETY MONTH
May 27, 2020
WHEREAS, annually, the National Safety Council recognizes June as National Safety
Month, which this year will look a little different than in past years, and includes more education
on mental health, ergonomics, building a safety culture and more; and
WHEREAS, now more than ever given the current state of the world, safety is critical
and the impact of COVID-19 is prompting employee wellness programs to look more closely at
mental health; and
WHEREAS, accidental injury has become the number three cause of death for the first
time in U.S. history, and based on new injury statistics, an American is accidentally injured every
second and killed every three minutes by a preventable event; and
WHEREAS, the goal of the National Safety Council is to raise public awareness and
seek opportunities to educate Americans about these alarming and preventable mishaps through
education; and
WHEREAS, workplace safety requires the cooperation of all levels of government,
business, and industry, as well as the general public; and
WHEREAS, implementing health and safety programs can improve the City of South San
Francisco’s business performance and contribute to the local economy and job force; and
WHEREAS, through the support and observance of National Safety Month, employers
help to reverse the increase in accidental injuries and deaths; and
WHEREAS, the City of South San Francisco supports national safety efforts and has
taken a proactive stance in providing a safe and healthy work environment for its employees
through the formation of the Central Safety Committee; and
WHEREAS, the Central Safety Committee, under the guidance of the Human Resources
Department, work to assure the safety of all City of South San Francisco employees by setting
and enforcing standards; providing training; outreach, and education; and encouraging
continual improvement in workplace safety and health.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that Mayor Richard Garbarino and the City
Council of the City of South San Francisco do hereby proclaim June as National Safety Month
and encourage all employees and citizens to participate in raising their awareness in the practice
of safe and healthy behaviors in all aspects of their lives.

Dated: May 27, 2020
IN RECOGNITION OF JUNE AS LGBTQ PRIDE MONTH
May 27, 2020
WHEREAS, as we celebrate and declare June as Pride month in California, we are
reminded of what makes California great – our remarkable capacity to live together and advance
together across every conceivable difference; and
WHEREAS, this June, we stand with the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer
(LGBTQ)community of California and the City of South San Francisco as they declare their pride
in who they are and who they love; and
WHEREAS, this month commemorates the events of June 1969 when an uprising was
staged in New York City at the Stonewall Inn against the police harassment of LGBTQ persons;
and
WHEREAS, in 1999, President William Jefferson “Bill” Clinton, our nation’s 42nd
President, issued the first Gay and Lesbian Pride Month proclamation. This historic action
marked, as the President said, the Stonewall Uprising and the birth of the modern gay and
lesbian civil rights movement. In the proclamation, President Clinton encouraged all Americans
to observe this month with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities that celebrate our
diversity, and to remember throughout the year the gay and lesbian Americans whose many and
varied contributions have enriched our national life; and,
WHEREAS, this community has worked tirelessly for respect and equality. Their battles
have been fought in the courts, from marriage equality to demanding equal protection under the
law; and
WHEREAS, while there has been remarkable progress towards acceptance and equality
in recent years, members of the LGBTQ community in the United States and around the world
still face an unacceptable level of discrimination and violence; and
WHEREAS, in South San Francisco we celebrate and support our LGBTQ community’s
right to live their lives out loud – during Pride month and every month. As we celebrate Pride
across the State of California, we must continue to demand equal rights for all.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that Mayor Richard Garbarino and the City
Council of the City of South San Francisco do hereby proclaim June as LGBTQ Pride Month by
flying the Pride flag at the South San Francisco City Hall and illuminating the building in
rainbow colors.

The Engineer’s estimate of probable cost was $475,000
The complexity of Phase One requires a multiple week shutdown of the plant’s dewatering facilities so that
industrial coatings contractors can recoat the interior and exterior assets.The duration of the closure requires
the rental of a temporary dewatering system.Staff reviewed the bids,comparing the individual bid items with
those in the Engineer’s probable cost estimate.Bid item prices were higher than estimated,particularly in the
temporary dewatering system rental costs.
Staff will work with the designer to revise the contract scope of work to include more specific requirements for
the temporary dewatering system.
Per Public Contract Code Section 20166,a public entity retains the discretion to reject all bids it receives on a
given project and re-advertise.
Staff recommends rejecting all bids.

Report regarding a resolution approving an Outside Sewer Service Agreement with the owners of 340 Alta
Vista Drive (APN #013-121-040),and authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement for recordation.
(Jason Hallare, Senior Civil Engineer)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution approving an Outside Sewer Service Agreement
with the owners of a residential property at 340 Alta Vista Drive (APN #013-121-040),and authorizing the
City Manager to sign the agreement on behalf of the City of South San Francisco and to record the agreement
in the San Mateo County official records.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The City has received a request from Robert Wong and Sharon Cheong-Wong,owners of an assisted living
facility at 340 Alta Vista Drive,to authorize a building expansion and sewer flow increase from the property to
the City of South San Francisco’s sanitary sewer system.The proposal before the City Council is for the City to
authorize the requested sewer connections subject to the terms and conditions in the agreements and to
authorize the execution of said agreements.
Location
The property is located within the unincorporated portion of San Mateo County (“County”),commonly known
as Country Club Park subdivision.The Property is within the City’s Sphere of Influence.There are
approximately 56 parcels within this unincorporated area,which falls under the jurisdiction of the County.
Country Club Park is designated low density residential in the San Mateo County general plan and is zoned R-E
(Rural Estates)in the County’s code,which requires ¾acre per lot and allows certain large animals,such as
horses and llamas.Homes in the area typically lack sidewalks,curb,and gutter.With a few exceptions,these
properties utilize septic systems and are not connected to the City’s sewer system or any other sewer system.
This creates potential public health problems such as lack of accessible street frontage,aging and overloading
septic tanks and leaving residents without effective sewer service.
Property and Permit History
The property currently has an existing sewer permit issued by the City in 1994 (see Attachment 1)and has an
existing sewer connection via the sanitary sewer main location in Dorado Way.The existing permit was
authorized by the City Council in 1994 and allows for a 35-resident convent and sanctuary.Furthermore,the
existing permit states that any other type of facility would need to obtain City approval for sewer service.In
2012 the County approved,with the City’s support,a Use Permit to convert the property to a 26-bed assisted
living facility on the condition that an Outside Sewer Service Agreement be executed for any sewer flows in
excess of the prior approved uses.
The property proposes to expand the facility to 53-beds and increasing the sewer flow generated by the
property.Since this expansion exceeds the capacity and flow authorized by the 1994 and 2012 approvals,the
increase of sewer flow is subject to the condition that an Outside Sewer Service Agreement be executed.Staff
has reviewed the proposal and recommends proceeding with the Outside Sewer Service Agreement.

Outside Sewer Service Agreement
In order to help residents of this area eliminate obsolete septic systems and move forward with property
improvements prior to annexation of the County Club Park area to the City,the City has entered into several
Outside Sewer Service Agreements with various property owners in this area to permit them to connect to the
City’s sewer system.Over the years,the City has identified several significant concerns regarding allowing
properties outside of the City’s jurisdictional boundaries to connect to its sewer system, which are:
·Property owner,as they are located outside the City’s boundaries,may potentially object to annexation
or oppose the City’s efforts to explore annexation of their property area;
·The property owner must be required to pay the full cost of a sewer line extension;
·Property owners must agree to pay the cost of upgrading their property to include sidewalk,curb,and
gutter either at the time the connection is made,or in the future if annexation of the area occurs,in order
to bring the public facilities serving their property up to the City’s standards; and
·Property owners must share equitably in the future costs associated with providing sewer service for the
larger unincorporated area.
An outside sewer service agreement has been prepared to address these concerns as outlined below.The City
Attorney’s Office has prepared an Outside Sewer Service Agreement for the property at 340 Alta Vista Drive,
attached to the accompanying resolution as Exhibit A.The proposed agreement will be executed with the
property owners Robert Wong and Sharon Cheong-Wong,and the terms of the agreement have been reviewed
and accepted by them.The agreement will also be recorded against the property and bind subsequent property
owners to comply with the same terms.
The agreement provides that the property and its owner will be bound by the following provisions:
1.Owner consents to future annexation and waives any right to protest such annexation of this property to
the City, if and when this occurs;
2.Owner agrees to pay a pro rata share of any future area-wide sewer improvements within the County
Club Park subdivision associated with providing wastewater service to this area which intends to
proportionately allocate the costs of future area-wide sewer improvements based on the sewer flow on
those improvements from the property;
3.Upon future annexation,or sooner,the owner shall upgrade the streetscape for their property to the
City’s standards.This cost is currently estimated at $262,000 and the Owner may either construct the
upgraded streetscape pursuant to a Deferred Improvement Agreement (attached to the Outside Services
Agreement as an exhibit), or pay the public improvements cost for the construction of the upgrades;
4.Owner agrees to pay a one-time sewer connection fee of $7,653.13;
5.Owner agrees to pay a yearly sewer service charge (estimated at approximately $4,265 per year,with
anticipated annual increases of approximately $85 per year);
6.Owner will make a deposit of $9,542 toward an administrative fee of to reimburse the City for staff time
to review, process and prepare the application and agreement;
7.Agreement will bind future owners of the property and will be recorded in the County records;
8.Owner agrees that all future development conforms to the relevant height,aircraft noise,and safety
policies and compatibility criteria contained in the most recently adopted version of the San Mateo
County Comprehensive Airport Land Use Plan for the environs of San Francisco International Airport.

Version:1 Item #:6.
Typically,changes to the provision of public services in unincorporated areas would be under the jurisdiction of
the San Mateo Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo);however,since the property has an existing
Sewer Permit from 1994 prior to LAFCo’s formation, LAFCo approval is not required in this case.
Staff notes that the City’s General Plan has a policy that Country Club Park should be annexed into the City.
Because of piecemeal annexations in the past and the difficulty in providing service and requiring
improvements,another policy provides that no portion of the area should be annexed unless the entire area is
annexed.Annexation of this area has not occurred since the current General Plan was approved in 2001.
Depending upon specific circumstances,the owners of properties on septic systems may not be able to obtain
permits from the County to expand or tear down and replace homes unless they can hook up to a sanitary sewer
system,leaving these owners unable to significantly improve their properties.Given the changing conditions
related to aging septic systems,housing demands,sewer capacity,provision of city services,and population
growth,staff will move forward to further study and re-evaluate the annexation policy during the current
General Plan renewal process.
It is important to note that this application is not for annexation,only for permission to increase the property’s
sewer flow on the City’s sanitary sewer system.Other properties in the interior of the area are not near existing
sewer lines; to extend sewer lines to these homes is a much more expensive proposition.
CEQA:
Sewer extensions are generally categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15302,Class 2(c),
Replacement or reconstruction of existing utility systems and/or facilities involving negligible or no expansion
of capacity.Furthermore,Section 15303,Class 3(d),allows “water main,sewage,electrical,gas and other
utility extensions,including street improvements,of reasonable length to serve such construction”,which
would include “construction and location of limited numbers of new,small facilities or structures”.Thus,the
proposed sewer flow increase likely would be exempt under these provisions as well.Here,since the subject
property is located outside South San Francisco’s jurisdiction,the proposed construction and development on
these lots will be required obtain planning permits from San Mateo County and comply with San Mateo County
Planning requirements.As the lead agency,the County will be responsible for further evaluating future
development of these lots,including determining compliance with California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) regulations.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Pursuant to the terms of the agreement,City staff time will be fully compensated by the property owner-
applicants through payment to the City of a $9,542 administrative fee.Annual revenue of approximately $750
per year from each property will be generated for the Sewer Fund.
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN
This action furthers the initiative of Community Connections by enabling these owners to develop their
properties and one day to become residents of South San Francisco when the area is annexed in the future.
CONCLUSION
By adopting resolution to approve an Outside Sewer Service Agreement with Robert Wong and Sharon Cheong
-Wong for an increased flow into the City’s sewer system at 340 Alta Vista Drive in the unincorporated Country
Club Park area,the owners would be able to obtain building permits from the County of San Mateo to expand
the size of the existing assisted living facility.This action will also secure the owners’agreement not to oppose

OUTSIDE SEWER SERVICE AGREEMENT
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the City of South San Francisco, California, a municipal corporation
(“City”) owns and operates public sewer facilities within its boundaries; and,
WHEREAS, _____________________________________ (“Owner”) are the owners of
property located at 340 Alta Vista Drive County of San Mateo (“Parcel”), which property is
outside the boundaries of the City and is therefore not entitled to connect to or use City’s sewer
facilities, but is within the City’s Sphere of Influence as defined under state law; and,
WHEREAS, the property is identified as APN 013-121-040 by the San Mateo County
Assessor; and,
WHEREAS, the Parcel is currently serviced by the City pursuant to a Sewer Service
Permit dated February 2, 1994, recorded against the Parcel and identified in the County of San
Mateo Recorder’s Office file as Permit No. 94059479 (the “1994 Sewer Permit”), attached
hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, the 1994 Sewer Permit authorizes the Parcel to connect to the City’s sewer
facilities for the discharge into the City’s sanitary sewer system for flow capacity of a single
family dwelling, a convent and accessory building for approximately 35 residents and a
sanctuary; and
WHEREAS, the 1994 Sewer Permit specifies that that discharge from any other type of
facility requires City approval; and
WHEREAS, Owner currently operates a 26-resident senior living facility on the Parcel,
which sewer discharge is within the flow capacity permitted by the 1994 Sewer Permit; and
WHEREAS, Owner desires to expand said facility to accommodate 53 residents, which
sewer discharge would exceed the permitted flow capacity under the 1994 Sewer Permit; and
3514939.1
WHEREAS, Owner desires the Parcel to receive additional sewer services from the City
for the proposed facility expansion; and,
WHEREAS, City has agreed to provide additional sewer services and permit the
additional flow capacity from the Parcel subject to the terms and conditions of this Outside
Sewer Services Agreement (“Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, on _____________________, the City Council of the City adopted a
Resolution approving this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, Owner understands that any future annexation to the City is subject to any
and all City rights and determinations, whether legislative, quasi-judicial, administrative, or
however characterized, with respect to any proposed annexation of the Parcel to the City.
Now, therefore, City and Owner agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
Owner is hereby authorized to connect to City’s sewer line, located within the right of way
running along Dorado Way, subject to the following conditions:
1. Consent to Future Annexation. In the event the Parcel shall be proposed for annexation to
the City, Owner hereby consents to said annexation, and hereby waives Owner’s rights to protest
such annexation pursuant to the provisions of law governing such annexations.
a. Taxes or Other Charges. In the event annexation of the Parcel to the City shall be
duly approved by all agencies having jurisdiction thereof, Owner agrees that the
Parcel shall be subject to any and all general, special, extraordinary, or additional
taxes or assessments, or any and all general, special extraordinary, or additional
service charges, fees, or rates, levied against, imposed upon, or otherwise pertaining
to the Parcel by any and all agencies, including the City, having jurisdiction thereof in
the same fashion as other like property located within the territorial limits of the City.
2. Improvements in the Event of Annexation. If a request for annexation is approved by the
San Mateo Local Agency Commission (“LAFCo”) the Parcel is annexed to the City of South San
Francisco, Owner, on behalf of themselves, their successors and assigns, agrees to comply with
either of the following conditions:
a. Design and construct public improvements including sidewalk, curb and gutter
improvements for the Parcel. Accordingly, Owner shall, upon the request of City an
in a form provided by the City, execute a subsequent Deferred Improvement
Agreement guaranteeing the construction of such public improvements and
compliance with other permitting, security, and regulatory requirements for
constructing the improvements. A form Deferred Improvement Agreement template
is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by this reference.
The City and Owner, or the successor owner of the Parcel if Owner no longer owns
the property at the time of annexation, shall meet and confer at the time of the
3514939.1
proposed annexation to determine the applicable City standards, and requirements for
constructing public improvements for the Parcel. Or, alternatively,
b. Pay for the design and construction of public improvements including sidewalk, curb
and gutter improvements for the Parcel, by paying a one-time charge, hereafter called
a “public improvements fee,” for the purpose of funding construction of said
improvements from the property to the centerline of the street or roadway, covering
one-half of the street or roadway. The public improvements fee shall be a figure
representing the cost of constructing such improvements from the property to the
centerline of the street or roadway. Thus, as an example only, if the cost for
constructing a sidewalk, driveways, curbs, gutters, two-inch grind overlay to the
centerline, design costs, and contingency for a property is estimated to be $244 per
foot, the cost of constructing said improvements would be approximately $51,500.
3. Owner, on behalf of themselves, their administrators, heirs, assigns, and transferees,
agrees to pay a pro-rata share of construction of new sewer facilities installed, owned and
operated by City, if the City secures the funding for such facilities, for the purpose of providing
sewer service to the area, including the Parcel, known as Country Club Park.
a. Accordingly, Owner agrees to participate in an assessment district to fund
construction of new sewer facilities serving the Parcel, or
b. Alternatively, pay a one-time charge, hereinafter referred to as the “frontage fee”, for
the purpose of funding construction of said new facilities. The frontage fee shall be a
figure representing one-half of the cost of said improvements, apportioned to each
parcel served in a pro rata fashion, and then applied to individual parcels according to
the amount of each parcel’s frontage to the City’s facilities, measured in lineal feet.
Thus, as an example only, if the frontage fee were established in the amount of $244
per foot, a parcel that has 100 feet of frontage will pay $24,400.
4. Owner agrees to pay a one-time sewer capacity fee and a sewer services fee as follows:
a. Owner will be charged, and shall pay, (1) a one-time sewer capacity fee for the
proposed increase in flow; and (2) an annual sewer service charge, both under then-
applicable schedules of rates and charges, as may be amended from time to time.
b. Should Owner fail or refuse to pay the sanitary sewer charges required herein on or
before the due date, the City may elect to collect said charges by commencement of a
suit within 30 days after demand for payment and Owner shall pay all costs of the
suite and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred therewith. As an alternative remedy, the
City may require Owner to disconnect from the City’s sanitary sewer system at
Owner’s sole cost and expense.
5. The sewer connection and subsequent service provided under this Agreement is limited to
existing legal lots of record as of _____________________, or lots existing on the Parcel as of
the date of this Agreement, whichever is fewer. City is under no obligation to provide additional
hookups or service to subsequently created lots on the Parcel. This requirement is not intended
3514939.1
to prohibit a lot line adjustment, so long as it does not result in creation of lots exceeding in
number the lots which existed on the Parcel on _____________________, or lots existing on the
Parcel as of the date of this Agreement, whichever is fewer.
6. The Owner shall pay for all City costs in connection with preparing and processing this
Agreement, and with processing the Owner’s application for sewer services. The Owner shall
deposit with the City $5,000 to cover initial cost and pay the remainder of any costs over $5,000
prior to recordation of the Agreement by the County of San Mateo. The deposit shall not be
refundable if Owner withdraws the application after making the deposit.
7. Owner shall conform to the current City standards for sewer lateral construction,
maintenance and inspection including those set forth under South San Francisco Municipal Code
Chapter 14.14, most currently in effect and as may be amended from time to time, between the
City main and the Parcel. Owner shall be responsible for the costs necessary to perform any
inspections, testing, repairs, reconstruction, replacement, and/or clean out installation as required
by the City Engineer to conform the sewer lateral to current City standards.
8. For all future developments and constructions on the Parcel, Owner agrees to conform to
the relevant height, aircraft noise, and safety policies and compatibility criteria contained in the
most recently adopted version of the San Mateo County Comprehensive Airport Land Use Plan
for the environs of San Francisco International Airport.
9. Owner shall and does hereby agree to hold the City, its officers, agents and employees

Report regarding a resolution approving purchase agreements for the furnishing of bulk process chemicals at
the Water Quality Control Plant for the fiscal year 2020-21;and authorizing the City Manager to execute the
necessary agreements.(Brian Schumacker, Water Quality Control Plant Superintendent).
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the purchase agreements for the
furnishing of bulk process chemicals for wastewater treatment for the fiscal year 2020-21 and authorize
the City Manager to execute the necessary agreements.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Bulk quantities of chemicals are routinely used in several different processes to treat wastewater at the South
San Francisco-San Bruno Water Quality Control Plant (WQCP).These bulk chemicals include disinfectants
used to remove potential pathogens,coagulants used to remove solids,and chemicals used to neutralize
chlorine during dechlorination.The City's practice is to procure these chemicals at the beginning of the fiscal
year to establish guaranteed competitive prices for the entire fiscal year.Bulk suppliers deliver chemicals as
needed to meet treatment demands.
Section 4.04.040 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code (SSFMC)authorizes the City to take advantage
of valid contract terms that have been negotiated by another governmental agency,where that agency had used
a quote or bid process substantially conforming with SSFMC Chapter 4.04 and State law.The WQCP is a
member of the Bay Area Chemical Consortium (BACC),along with over sixty participating public agencies.
The BACC follows an open bid process for the combined purchase of bulk chemicals.Each member agency of
the BACC receives a benefit of large quantity purchase pricing by integrating the volume of their agency's
chemical needs with the needs of the rest of the consortium.Due to the combined bid solicitations for these
agencies,each agency can purchase the chemicals at a lower price than if each agency solicited bids separately.
Staff cannot precisely calculate as to the savings an agency receives by ongoing participation in the consortium;
however,new members have generally reported a savings of up to 20 percent on chemical purchases after
becoming a member of the BACC.Consistent with SSFMC 4.04.040,the City can rely on BACC negotiations
for this procurement.
Due to the COVID-19 health emergency,the BACC negotiated to extend pricing with the previous fiscal year's
low bidders per bid document stipulations (Section 4.11):
The term of the contract between the respective BACC agency and the successful bidder will be twelve
(12)months commencing July 1,2019,and expiring June 30,2020,with an option to extend the
contract on a year-to-year basis,not to exceed three (3)yearly renewals if conditions and service are

Version:1 Item #:9.
contract on a year-to-year basis,not to exceed three (3)yearly renewals if conditions and service are
satisfactory to both the respective BACC agency and the successful bidder.The price for any succeeding
periods of service shall be determined by negotiation between the respective BACC agency and the
successful bidder.
The BACC recommends awarding bulk chemical purchase agreements to the following companies based on
pricing negotiations indicated below:
Lowest Bidder Item Unit Cost
Univar USA, Inc.Sodium Hypochlorite (12.5 percent),$0.698/gallon
Univar USA, Inc.Sodium Bisulfite (25 percent),$1.135/gallon
Thatcher Company Ferric Chloride (43 percent),$1.95/gallon
City staff has reviewed these price quotes and concurs with the BACC recommendation.Each company agreed
to honor the previous fiscal year's pricing,except for Thatcher.Thatcher's price increased from $1.86 to $1.95
per gallon because of the increased cost of raw materials.
The BACC no longer facilitates the bidding process for the polymer.Staff successfully negotiated a bulk rate
discount for polymer into FY 2020-21 for Polymers WE-527 and WE-983.Polydyne honored the previous
fiscal year's pricing.
Vendor Item Unit Cost
Polydyne Polymer WE-984 $10.880/gallon
Polydyne Polymer WE-527 $10.710/gallon
RELATIONSHIP TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN
The Water Quality Control Plant (WQCP)Division promotes public health and environmental stewardship.
Continuing to fund bulk chemical purchases positively affects the quality of life for South San Francisco
residents by protecting public health and safety.
FISCAL IMPACT
Plant management includes the cost for the purchase of bulk chemicals in the WQCP's annual operating budget.
Specific quantities of bulk chemicals vary depending upon the occurrence of winter storms.Actual chemical
use fluctuates.Plant management based chemical use forecasts on historical peak demand.The anticipated total
cost for bulk chemicals (including sales tax)for FY 2020-21 is $1,204,235 (please see Attachment A for the
cost breakdown). These estimated amounts are calculated based on single year highest use.
CONCLUSION
The WQCP routinely utilizes bulk quantities of chemicals for the treatment of wastewater.The WQCP is a
member of the BACC and participates in bidding for the purchase of three chemicals necessary for the
treatment of wastewater.Following the BACC's recommendations,the WQCP has drafted purchase agreements
to procure the chemicals for FY 2020-21.Approval of the attached resolution will allow for the execution of the

to procure the chemicals for FY 2020-21.Approval of the attached resolution will allow for the execution of the
contracts and the continued reliable operation of the WQCP.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the purchase agreements for the
furnishing of bulk process chemicals for wastewater treatment for fiscal year 2020-21 and authorize the City
Manager to execute the necessary agreements.

return of non-conforming PRODUCT, shall pay for the shipping costs associated with delivering to the

B. Commercial General Liability and Property Damage Insurance in an amount not less than ONE
MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000) combined single limit per occurrence, TWO MILLION DOLLARS
($2,000,000) annual aggregate, for bodily injury, property damage, products, completed operations and

insurers do not serve to satisfy the self-insured retention, such provisions must be modified by special

insurance must note whether the policy does or does not include any self-insured retention and also
must disclose the deductible.
The CITY Risk Manager, in writing, may approve a variation in the foregoing insurance requirements. A
valid and executed approval by Risk Manager must accompany this Purchase Agreement for a variation to

workmen, or mechanics on the work contemplated by this Purchase Agreement, shall be not less than the
prevailing rate for a day’s work in the same trade or occupation in the locality within the state where the
work hereby contemplates to be performed as determined by the Director of Industrial Relations pursuant
to the Director’s authority under Labor Code Section 1770, et seq. Each laborer, worker or mechanic
employed by SELLER or by any subcontractor shall receive the wages herein provided for. The SELLER
CONTRACT PURCHASING AGREEMENT
Page 5
shall pay two hundred dollars ($200), or whatever amount may be set by Labor Code Section 1775, as may
be amended, per day penalty for each worker paid less than prevailing rate of per diem wages. The
difference between the prevailing rate of per diem wages and the wage paid to each worker shall be paid
by the SELLER to each worker.
An error on the part of an awarding body does not relieve the SELLER from responsibility for payment of
the prevailing rate of per diem wages and penalties pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1770-1775. The CITY
will not recognize any claim for additional compensation because of the payment by the SELLER for any
wage rate in excess of prevailing wage rate set forth. The possibility of wage increases is one of the
elements to be considered by the SELLER.

caused by the SELLER in the delivery of the PRODUCT shall be repaired and/or replaced in kind by
the SELLER at no cost to the CITY.

deliver the PRODUCT is impaired due to circumstances beyond reasonable control, including but not
limited to fire, flood, Government action, accident, labor disputes or shortage, or inability to obtain
from normal sources raw material, equipment, or transportation, the one so affected shall be excused
without liability from taking or making delivery to the extent of such impairment. If SELLER’S ability
to deliver PRODUCT is reduced due to any such circumstance, SELLER may reduce the contract
quantity in any year upon written notice to the CITY if SELLER deems such reduction necessary to
effect a fair allocation of the PRODUCT to users/purchasers thereof, in which case the CITY’S
obligation to purchase PRODUCT from SELLER hereunder shall be reduced and adjusted
accordingly. Notwithstanding, if SELLER’S ability to deliver PRODUCT is reduced due to any such
circumstance, then the CITY may obtain PRODUCT from another source, and the quantity of
PRODUCT obtained from another source will be credited to any minimum quantity requirement set
forth in this Agreement for the respective contract year as if such had been purchased from SELLER.
If the CITY’S inability to take PRODUCT is excused under this subparagraph, SELLER’S obligation
to sell PRODUCT to the CITY hereunder shall be reduced and adjusted accordingly.
18. Site Safety and Cleanup: The delivery and installation site shall be kept clean and free of
hazards at all times during installation. After installation is completed at the site, SELLER shall clean
the surrounding area to the condition prior to installation.

between the parties on the same terms and conditions through June 30, 2020 if such mutual agreement
is reached before expiration of the current agreement.

incorporated herein by this reference, sets forth the entire and complete agreement regarding the
subject matter hereof and may be executed in identical counterparts.
22. Waivers: Waivers of a breach or default under this Agreement shall not constitute a
continuing waiver or a waiver of a subsequent breach of the same or any other provision of this
Agreement.
23. Assignment: Neither party shall assign or delegate its rights or obligations under this contract
without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, should substantially all of the assets of either party be purchased or
otherwise acquired by an unrelated entity or person, such party may assign and delegate its rights and
obligations hereunder to the acquiring person or entity.

fees.
27. Equivalent Pricing: SELLER assures the CITY that it will not offer lower prices to any
Municipal entity of comparable volume, shipping distances and like chemistry without adjusting same
for the CITY. Due to other existing contractual obligations, there may instances where another like

price, without making an adjustment to the CITY.
28. Severability: If any term of this Agreement is held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction,
the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in effect.

difference between the prevailing rate of per diem wages and the wage paid to each worker shall be paid
by the SELLER to each worker.
An error on the part of an awarding body does not relieve the SELLER from responsibility for payment of
the prevailing rate of per diem wages and penalties pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1770-1775. The CITY
will not recognize any claim for additional compensation because of the payment by the SELLER for any
wage rate in excess of prevailing wage rate set forth. The possibility of wage increases is one of the
elements to be considered by the SELLER.

deliver the PRODUCT is impaired due to circumstances beyond reasonable control, including but not
limited to fire, flood, Government action, accident, labor disputes or shortage, or inability to obtain
from normal sources raw material, equipment, or transportation, the one so affected shall be excused
without liability from taking or making delivery to the extent of such impairment. If SELLER’S ability
to deliver PRODUCT is reduced due to any such circumstance, SELLER may reduce the contract
quantity in any year upon written notice to the CITY if SELLER deems such reduction necessary to
effect a fair allocation of the PRODUCT to users/purchasers thereof, in which case the CITY’S
obligation to purchase PRODUCT from SELLER hereunder shall be reduced and adjusted
accordingly. Notwithstanding, if SELLER’S ability to deliver PRODUCT is reduced due to any such
circumstance, then the CITY may obtain PRODUCT from another source, and the quantity of

PRODUCT obtained from another source will be credited to any minimum quantity requirement set
forth in this Agreement for the respective contract year as if such had been purchased from SELLER.
If the CITY’S inability to take PRODUCT is excused under this subparagraph, SELLER’S obligation
to sell PRODUCT to the CITY hereunder shall be reduced and adjusted accordingly.

oral,including without limitation the public comment,staff reports,minutes,and other relevant materials,the
City Council of the City of South San Francisco does hereby ORDAIN as follows:
SECTION I.FINDINGS.
Based on the entirety of the record as described above,the City Council of South San Francisco hereby makes
the following findings:
A.General Findings
1.The foregoing recitals are true and correct and made a part of this Ordinance.
2.The Record for these proceedings,and upon which this Ordinance is based,includes without limitation,
Federal and State law;the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§21000,et seq.
(“CEQA”))and the CEQA Guidelines (14 California Code of Regulations §15000,et seq.);the South San
Francisco General Plan and General Plan EIR,including all amendments and updates thereto;the South San
Francisco Municipal Code;the Zoning Ordinance Text Amendments;and all reports,minutes,and public
testimony submitted as part of the Planning Commission’s duly noticed April 16,2020 meeting and the City
Council’s duly noticed May 13,2020 meeting;and any other evidence (within the meaning of Public
Resources Code §21080(e) and §21082.2).
3.The documents and other material constituting the record for these proceedings are located at the
Planning Division for the City of South San Francisco,315 Maple Avenue,South San Francisco,CA 94080,
and in the custody of Chief Planner, Sailesh Mehra.
B.CEQA Findings
1.The City Council hereby finds and determines that the adoption of this ordinance is statutorily exempt
from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)pursuant to Section 21080.17
of the Public Resources Code and Section 15282(h)of the CEQA Guidelines because it is an accessory
dwelling unit ordinance that is implementing the provisions of Government Code Sections 65852.1 and
65852.
C.Zoning Text Amendment Findings
1.The proposed Zoning Text Amendment is consistent with the adopted General Plan because the Zoning
Amendment will reinforce the General Plan policies,is consistent with the relevant specific plans,and is
consistent with the City’s overall vision for providing a diversity of housing types responsive to household

Version:1 Item #:11a.
consistent with the City’s overall vision for providing a diversity of housing types responsive to household
size,income,and age needs.None of the new or revised requirements for accessory dwelling units and
junior accessory dwelling units will conflict with or impede achievement of any of the goals,policies,or
land use designations established in the General Plan.
2.The Zoning Text Amendment would encourage the creation of accessory dwelling units and junior
accessory dwelling units on residentially zoned properties to provide opportunities for affordable housing
stock.The zoning districts where accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units are
permitted are generally suitable in terms of access,size of parcel,relationship to similar or related uses,and
other considerations as deemed relevant by the Planning Commission and City Council because the
proposed uses are consistent with General Plan policies,specifically those policies which promote
developing a diverse housing stock.
3.The proposed revisions and additions to the accessory dwelling unit regulations will not be detrimental
to the use of land in any adjacent zone because the Amendment will refine existing performance standards
and introduce new standards for accessory dwelling units to ensure that any future accessory dwelling units
are compatible with surrounding residential uses.
SECTION II.AMENDMENTS.
1.The following provisions of Title 20,“Zoning”of the South San Francisco Municipal Code are amended to

Report regarding a resolution to approve one-year extensions to the Memorandums of Understanding between
the City of South San Francisco and AFSCME Local 829,Teamsters Local 856 (Confidential Unit and Mid-
Management Unit),and IUOE Local 39,including a three percent (3%)wage increase effective July,2020
(Leah Lockhart, Human Resources Director)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute
agreements with AFSCME Local 829,Teamsters Local 856 and IUOE Local 39 to provide for one-year
extensions of the respective Memorandums of Understanding and a three percent (3%)wage increase
effective July, 2020.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The City’s full-time workforce is organized into seven (7)represented bargaining units,and one unrepresented
unit for at-will executive management employees.The City negotiates and administers Memorandums of
Understanding (MOUs)with each represented unit to provide for wages,hours,and terms and conditions of
employment in accordance with the Meyers-Millias-Brown Act (MMBA).Last fall,City Council gave
direction to City staff to commence negotiations with the four labor groups whose MOUs were scheduled to
expire on June 30,2020.Under the parameters set by Council,the City began negotiations with the American
Federation of State,County and Municipal Employees Local 829 (“AFSCME”),Teamsters Local 856 Mid-
Management unit and Confidential unit,and the International Union of Operating Engineers (“IUOE”)Local
39.These units represent the vast majority of the City’s non-public safety workforce across ten operating
departments.
Several meetings were held with labor groups between December and March.However,in the course of
negotiations,the COVID-19 pandemic crisis evolved rapidly,dramatically altering conditions for both the
City’s finances and the ability of staff and labor representatives to conduct meaningful,comprehensive MOU
negotiations.Given both the limitations on ability to conduct negotiations due the local State of Emergency and
a County-wide Shelter-in-Place order,as well as the resulting financial uncertainty faced by the City,Council
gave direction to staff to negotiate a one-year extension with an across-the-board wage adjustment with each
unit.Designated City representatives met and conferred with each labor group and reached tentative agreement
on terms for a one-year extension of each current MOU.
The agreements extend the term of the MOUs by one year,expiring on June 30,2021.Each agreement also
contains a provision for a three percent (3%)across-the-board wage increase effective the first pay period of
July,2020.This amount is consistent with the scheduled wage increase for the City’s three public safety
employee units and executive management unit,whose MOUs and compensation plan remain in effect through
June 30,2022.By granting the same adjustment to employees represented by AFSCME,Teamsters,and IUOE,
the City can maintain relative equity across the City’s workforce.Staff recognizes that the economic impact of
the COVID-19 crisis will result in significant revenue losses for the City,the full impact of which remains
uncertain.However,staff have worked collaboratively to develop budget recommendations for fiscal year 2020
-21 to address the immediate revenue loss while still maintaining an appropriate compensation package for
employees in light of increased cost of living over the past year.In addition,this short-term extension providesCity of South San Francisco Printed on 5/22/2020Page 1 of 2

employees in light of increased cost of living over the past year.In addition,this short-term extension provides
the City with additional time to monitor and evaluate the full fiscal impact of COVID-19 prior to resuming full
MOU negotiations for changes to wages and benefit packages, potentially with multi-year agreements.
FISCAL IMPACT
Three percent (3%)wage adjustment represents an increase of approximately $600,000 to the City’s total
operating budget,of which approximately seventy percent (70%)will be allocated to positions within the City’s
General Fund.These amounts are factored in to the proposed 2020-21 budget which will be presented to
Council next month.
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN
The recommended MOU extension agreements supports the strategic initiative of Workforce Development,by
maintaining a competitive compensation package to attract,retain,and reward employees,and the strategic
initiative of Fiscal Sustainability,by providing a short-term commitment to employees while the full financial
impact of the COVID-19 crisis continues to be assessed.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that Council adopt a resolution approving one-year extensions of the Memorandums of
Understanding between the City and AFSCME,Teamsters,and IUOE,in order to allow time for full assessment
of the financial impacts of COVID-19 and,in the interim,provide for a wage adjustment equal to that which
will be granted to other employee groups.

Report regarding a resolution amending an existing agreement with the County of San Mateo for continued
facilitation and coordination of animal control and licensing services for an additional one-year term beginning
July 1,2020 through June 30,2021,and authorize the City Manager to execute the amendment.(Sharon
Ranals, Assistant City Manager)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a Resolution amending an existing Agreement with the County
of San Mateo for continued facilitation and coordination of Animal Control and Licensing Services for an
additional one-year term beginning July 1,2020 through June 30,2021,and authorize the City Manager to
execute the amendment, at an estimated cost for fiscal year 2020-21 of $708,050.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
An agreement with the County related to animal control services was last adopted by City Council on March
25,2015,with a five-year term which expires on June 30,2020.The Staff Report from 2015 provides the
following background:
Animal Control has been one of the longest running regional/shared services in San Mateo County.
Since 1952,the County has contracted with the Peninsula Humane Society (PHS)for animal control
field and sheltering service.All twenty cities in the County have in turn contracted with the County for
these services.Historically,cities have taken advantage of the economies of pooling resources in order
to realize lower costs for services than each city could likely achieve by providing its own services.
Cities participating in the Animal Control agreement include:Atherton,Belmont,Brisbane,Burlingame,
Colma,Daly City,East Palo Alto,Foster City,Half Moon Bay,Hillsborough,Menlo Park,Millbrae,Pacifica,
Portola Valley, Redwood City, San Bruno, San Carlos, San Mateo, South San Francisco, and Woodside.
The current Animal Control agreement includes the following services:
·Rescue injured animals
·Capture of at-large or stray animals
·Investigate animal bites and attacks
·Removal of dead animals from public property
·Removal of dead or living wildlife from private property if such wildlife has direct contact with humans
and/or animals that involves a bite or attack
·Enforce leash laws and local ordinances (not including barking dog complaints,to be reported to local
police)
·Euthanasia of severely injured animals
·Investigate reports of animal cruelty
·Provision of shelter services,including impounding,receiving of unwanted animals,housing,
redemptions, treatment, sale, and adoption of animals
·Provision of treatment services to injured animals
·Conduct administrative hearings for Dangerous and Vicious Animal designations under the guidelines

of the applicable City’s ordinance, if any
·Provide in-person customer service at a minimum of two County locations that are open during normal
business hours to enable residents the ability to obtain animal licenses and/or permits for all dogs and
cats
·Work with San Mateo County veterinarians to ensure anti-rabies vaccination reporting is carried out as
required by the County.
In 2019,prior to the expiration of the agreement,the County hired an outside consultant,Citygate Associates,
to conduct a performance audit of the operator,PHS.Contracted cities were invited to communicate any issues
or concerns that they wanted to see examined in the audit.A report,“Animal Care,Control,and Shelter
Services Contract Compliance Review”was issued on December 9,2019.The report outlined opportunities to
strengthen future contracts,clarify expectations,and improve ongoing communications between all parties.The
review resulted in 28 recommendations, with an opportunity provided for PHS to respond.
A subcommittee of several City Managers,led by George Rodericks from Atherton,was established to meet
with County administrators to discuss and recommend changes in future contract provisions.The County will
continue to evaluate the existing agreement with the Peninsula Humane Society and is entering into a one-year
extension to facilitate that evaluation before making recommendations regarding a long-term contract.
Negotiations with PHS resulted in several changes in the contract terms for a one-year contract extension,with
the fees charged to cities to remain essentially flat for 2020-21;the total county-wide total paid to PHS is not to
exceed $6,625,381.It should be noted that Cities are billed for and pay actual costs based on each City’s
proportionate share,with an offset or credit given for that City’s share of licensing revenue for the last calendar
year.The methodology for billing is specified in new Section 4.2 of the Agreement,which is included in the
attached Amendment.Calculations for the twenty cities for fiscal year 2019-20 and 2020-21 are attached to this
report.
Fees charged by PHS for services provided to the public will not increase in 2020-21. These fees are as follows:
One-year license $4.28 per license
Multi-year license $4.28 for the first year and $2 for each additional year
Late fees collected $2.50 collection service fee for each license
Replacement tags $4.28 per tag
Bank and supply fees Actual Cost
Another significant provision in the terms,as specified in Section 5.3 of the Agreement and called out in the
Amendment,refers to the total cost of construction of the new Animal Shelter in San Mateo,and the
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU),which was agreed to by the Cities and County on September 9,2014.
The revision to the MOU provides that the total cost of the shelter construction project is being updated,and
when available the County will provide to Cities the final total cost of the Shelter construction which will be
paid proportionately by each City as provided by the Memorandum.The MOU provides that the County would
advance the funds for construction,to be repaid by the municipalities according to their share,though a 30-
year,interest-free lease agreement.Continued Animal Control and shelter services to a City is contingent on
that City approving any amended cost and proportionate share, as previously agreed in the MOU.
The Peninsula Humane Society has already approved a one-year extension to its agreement with the County.
Approval of the Amendment to the Agreement between the County and the Cities will be agendized for
consideration by the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors at the end of June, 2020.

Version:1 Item #:
FISCAL IMPACT
The percentage share of each City’s costs is set by formula and services provided,and is revisited annually.
South San Francisco’s estimated share for 2020-21 will be 9.97%of the total contract amount of $6,625,381,or
$660,550.In addition,the City is assessed a proportional share of the County’s total costs to administer the
contract,estimated at $475,000,which is approximately $47,500 for South San Francisco’s share.The total
estimated Animal Control costs for South San Francisco are $708,050,which is comparable to the costs for the
current year.City Council is also alerted to an increase in South San Francisco’s prorated share of updated
construction costs for the new regional Shelter facility in San Mateo, which will be provided when available.
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN
Approval of this one-year contract amendment for Animal Services addresses several Strategic Plan Priority
Areas:qualify of life,by making providing valuable services for pet owners;and public safety,by providing for
the capture and shelter of stray and dangerous animals and the removal of dead animals on public property,in
addition to other animal control services noted in this report.
CONCLUSION
Animal Services has been a long standing shared service among twenty cities in San Mateo County.Delivery of
animal services through a regional contract is likely more cost-effective than were South San Francisco to
provide services and operate an animal shelter independently or through smaller subgroupings.Given the
current Covid-19 pandemic,and uncertainty of the 2020-21 budget,it is prudent to extend the existing five-year
contract with Peninsula Humane Society for one additional year,with no increase in rates charged over the
prior fiscal year.

Vote Required: Majority
To: Honorable Board of Supervisors
From: Jean S. Fraser, Chief, Health System
James C. Porter, Director, Public Works
Subject: Approve the Memorandum of Agreement with All Cities in San Mateo County to
Build an Animal Care Shelter
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution to approve the Memorandum of Agreement with all cities in San Mateo
County to construct a new Animal Care Shelter at Airport Boulevard in the city of San Mateo
and to provide a 30-year lease agreement for the use of the shelter by all cities, and the
County.
BACKGROUND:
Since 1951, San Mateo County (County) has managed animal control field and sheltering
services for all cities in the County, through a contract with the Peninsula Humane Society /
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (PHS/SPCA). PHS/SPCA provides animal
sheltering services in a PHS/SPCA-owned building, located on County property at Airport
Boulevard.
The PHS/SPCA building has been evaluated twice in recent years by the County Public
Works Department. PHS/SPCA has informed the County that its building is inadequate to
meet the current standards for animal care. The Public Works Department has further
determined that it is not viable to significantly repair or upgrade the current building.
PHS/SPCA has determined that it will not construct a new building for services provided
exclusively to the County and cities.
On February 15, 2013, your Board requested a list of capital projects required to improve
the condition of the County’s existing buildings. The list was presented as the Five Year
Facilities Capital Plan to your Board on August 6, 2013, and included was a new animal
shelter building with a total estimated cost of $20 million.
Attachment 3
page 2 of 34
DISCUSSION:
The Public Works Department conducted an extensive review of mandated animal
sheltering services, local utilization and similar Bay Area projects. Ultimately, the Public
Works Department determined that the cost of constructing a new shelter would be
between $15.1 million and $20.2 million. The Public Works Department also considered
alternatives to constructing a new shelter
such as retrofitting County-owned buildings or using pre-fabricated building technologies.
All of the alternatives were determined to be more expensive than building a new shelter
from a life-cycle cost perspective.
A new shelter, similar to the current shelter, would house animals from all cities and
unincorporated areas in the County. All participating entities would save money by sharing
in this service agreement. The County would serve as the lead agency in managing the
construction of the new building, and would be the sole owner of the completed building. All
participating entities, including the County, would share the cost by repaying the County
through a 30-year, interest-free lease agreement. As of May 6,
2014, all participating entities have approved the cost participation Memorandum of
Agreement (Attachment A).
The terms of the Memorandum of Agreement dictate that the lease amount paid by each
participating entity will be calculated each year using a combination of a 3-year average for
shelter usage (weighted at 80%) and population (weighted at 20%)
(Attachment B). The basis for this allocation is to attribute a larger cost share to level of
shelter services used by each participating entity, and a smaller portion to potential use
captured by population.
Construction is expected to begin in the fall of 2014 and be completed within 18 months.
The current building would remain open during construction. The County also will be the
lead agency in evaluating potential environmental impacts; each city will have an
opportunity to comment at the time the County determines what environmental review
process is appropriate.
The lease payments would commence once the new building receives its certificate of
occupancy, projected to be in late 2015.
Approval of this Memorandum of Agreement contributes to the Shared Vision 2025
outcome of a Healthy Community by providing a facility to quarantine and shelter animals.
It is anticipated that the completed facility will shelter 17,500 animals during FY 2015-16.

FISCAL IMPACT:
The County is willing to advance the funding – estimated to be between $15.1 million and
$20.2 million - for the new building’s construction, as all participating entities have approved
the Memorandum of Agreement. Additionally, the County will participate in Attachment 3
page 3 of 35
the lease as a partner with the cities; the County’s estimated share of lease payments,
based on Memorandum of Agreement payment methodology, is expected to be $19,611 to

Report regarding a resolution amending the existing landscape maintenance services agreement with
Brightview Landscape Services,Inc.of Menlo Park,California for citywide landscape maintenance services in
order to extend the term of the agreement by twelve months beginning July 1,2020 through June 30,2021 for
an additional amount not to exceed $583,146,for a total amount not to exceed $1,749,438.(Greg Mediati,
Deputy Director of Parks and Recreation)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution amending the existing landscape
maintenance services agreement with Brightview Landscape Services,Inc.of Menlo Park,California for
citywide landscape maintenance services in order to extend the term of the agreement by twelve months
beginning July 1,2020 through June 30,2021 for an additional amount not to exceed $583,146,for a total
amount not to exceed $1,749,438.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The City of South San Francisco (City)currently contracts with a landscape maintenance vendor for certain
landscape maintenance services throughout the City.These specialized contracted services are necessary to
keep up with the extensive and varied landscape maintenance responsibilities in order to maintain the City’s
safety and aesthetic objectives.
The scope of work for the landscape maintenance contract has been modified over time in order to care for
those areas that were added to the city’s maintenance obligations,as well as to modify tasks requested by the
City. These specified locations include medians, streets, hook ramps, green spots and Common Green areas.
The current landscape maintenance services agreement was first entered into on July 1,2018,for a two year
term,expiring June 30,2020.The Request for Proposals (RFP)issued in 2018 included a provision for the City
to extend the agreement in three one-year increments,for a total of five years.Due to the current COVID-19
pandemic and subsequent financial burden placed on the City’s General Fund,staff has negotiated with
Brightview Landscape Services to maintain the contract amount at the same annual price as the previous two
year term,despite cost escalation between three and six percent year over year during this same time.This price
will be honored for the full term of the one year extension, from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.
In order to maintain the contract’s existing financial footprint,City staff worked with Brightview to hold the
line on their contract cost.Despite cost escalation associated with increasing prevailing wages and material
costs,Brightview has offered to reduce the irrigation technician position from 40 hours to 20 hours per week,
but will provide an additional 20 hour per week allocation for a general labor employee in their place,resulting
in modest cost savings.This will maintain the current contract’s staffing of nine maintenance workers.
Additionally,Brightview has also agreed to provide and install plant material and arbor mulch in order to
improve landscapes within their maintenance areas, at no cost to the City.
Project Scope
The Landscape Maintenance Services Project (Project)includes all specialized labor,material and tools
necessary to maintain all ornamental planting,including,but not limited to lawns,groundcovers and shrubsCity of South San Francisco Printed on 5/22/2020Page 1 of 3

necessary to maintain all ornamental planting,including,but not limited to lawns,groundcovers and shrubs
(trees are excluded),safety zones,drainage facilities,weed control on median hardscapes,poles,posts,
sprinkler heads,lateral irrigation lines up to the valves (not including valves or water mains downstream of the
water meter),irrigation controllers,and public walkways,including the cost of necessary repairs,replacements,
care,supervision,and any and all other items necessary for the proper maintenance and operation thereof.The
work does not include repairs and maintenance of lighting systems,gates,benches,railings,homeowner fences,
walls, sidewalks and curb and gutter (except weed control).
The City’s objectives for this Project continues to include the following:
•Provide high-quality professional landscape maintenance services for various medians,islands,and
right-of-ways within the City.
•Work in collaboration with the City to identify areas where reduction of maintenance,energy
and water can result in an overall cost savings for the City.
•Work in collaboration with the City to implement these identified strategies within the service
areas.
Under the current contract,staff believes Brightview has satisfied these objectives,though staff will work with
them to enhance their services levels whenever possible.
FISCAL IMPACT
Staff has worked with Brightview Landscape Services to ensure that the contract amount for these
services has not increased.Staff has also negotiated extra work,noted above,to be performed
throughout the maintenance areas under the contract at no additional cost to the City.
The monthly price for this agreement is $43,595 for an additional term of twelve months,split between the
Common Greens Funds and General Fund.Staff also recommends that the City Council approve an additional
$60,000 in budget authority to serve as a contingency fund for any deferred maintenance improvements to
irrigation systems and landscaping within the project areas.This contingency is not an additional funding
request,but would require staff to use existing funding within the Parks and Recreation or Common Greens
budgets,if available.Recent projects that have been accomplished with this contingency fund include the
renovations to the medians on Westborough Boulevard near Camaritas Avenue and various landscaping projects
in the Common Greens areas.
Shown below is a summary of the proposed project budget:
Service Contract Value
Landscape maintenance services FYs 2018-20 $1,166,292
Additional 1 year term for FY 20-21 (incl. $60,000 contingency) $ 583,146
Total $1,749,438
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN
The landscape maintenance services agreement supports Strategic Plan Priority #2:Quality of Life/Build and
Maintain a Sustainable City by providing adequate maintenance of the City’s parkland and green infrastructure
assets.This agreement will allow the City to maintain the health and safety of the City’s park and open space
resources,which will in turn provide for safe public recreational spaces and increased environmental benefits,

such as storm water capture, carbon sequestration, habitat, among countless others.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends amending the Landscape Maintenance Services Agreement with Brightview Landscape
Services,Inc.of Menlo Park,California,for citywide landscape maintenance services in order to extend the
term of the agreement by twelve months beginning July 1,2020 through June 30,2021 for an additional amount
not to exceed $583,146,for a total amount not to exceed $1,749,438.By entering into this contract,the City will
continue to provide adequate maintenance of these areas without increasing the burden on the city’s General
Fund or Common Greens Funds.

Report regarding a resolution approving and authorizing the City Manager to execute various Consulting
Services Agreements for On-Call Architectural,Engineering and Other Professional Services for various
approved City-funded projects in the amount not to exceed $300,000 per fiscal year per agreement with
selected consultant.(Jeffrey Chou, Associate Civil Engineer)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution approving various Consulting Services
Agreements for On-Call Architectural,Engineering and other Professional Services for various approved
City funded projects in the amount not to exceed $300,000 per fiscal year per agreement with selected
consultant.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
In November 2016,City Council approved fifty-five (55)consultant services agreements for on-call,as needed,
architectural,engineering and other professional services,which were put in place to augment city staff and
help deliver multiple projects at the same time.In the past three years,staff has utilized the on-call consultants
regularly as professional services are needed on all city-funded projects.
On February 12,2020,staff advertised a Request for Statement of Qualifications (SOQ)for on-call
architectural,engineering and other professional services.Staff asked for SOQ's for 16 service areas from
consulting firms to support the CIP projects.The professional service areas solicited include:appraisal services;
architecture;biological services;civil engineering,construction management and inspection services;electrical
engineering;geotechnical engineering and materials testing;hazardous material testing and monitoring;
landscape architecture;marine engineering;mechanical engineering;solid waste engineering;structural
engineering;surveying,mapping and right-of-way engineering;traffic engineering and transportation ;and
water resources.
On March 11,2020,staff received one hundred sixty nine (169)proposals for the various professional service
areas from consultants in response to the SOQ.Staff from the Engineering Division,Building Division,
Economic and Community Development Department,Public Works Department,Parks and Recreation
Department,Planning Division,and Water Quality Control Plant reviewed and rated the proposals.Per public
contract code,staff selected the consultants not based on the lowest bidder,but based on the firms’
qualifications,project understanding,example projects,expertise,South San Francisco experience,reference
checks,and overall quality of their proposal.Attachment 1 shows the various service areas and potential
projects and tasks.Attachment 2 shows the recommended consultants to be selected for each service area.
Attachment 3 shows all consultants that submitted for each services area.Attachment 4 shows the rater’s
evaluation rating criteria and scoring table.Attachment 5 shows the tabulation of the raters’scores and rankings
for all consultants of each service area.
The on-call consultant services agreements have been very beneficial to the City as they have enabled staff to
progress on all projects,provide expertise in specialized services areas,and prepare exhibits and applications
for competitive grants.Since November 2016,staff has executed approximately $6.6 million dollars in task
orders with the on-call consultants.The services areas that are widely used are civil engineering,landscapeCity of South San Francisco Printed on 6/5/2020Page 1 of 3

orders with the on-call consultants.The services areas that are widely used are civil engineering,landscape
architecture,traffic engineering and transportation,and water resources.The on-call consultant services
agreements are now expiring and staff is recommending procuring new and/or additional consultants for the
various professional services.Based on the anticipated projects to be delivered,staff recommends increasing
the number of on-call consultants for all the professional services from 55 to 79.This would allow additional
capacity for the widely used services areas listed above.
The consulting service agreements with the selected consultants would initially be for the term of July 1,2020
to June 30,2023,with the City Manager having the option to extend for an additional two (2)years.The two
year extension would allow for the on-call consultants to complete any work they commenced prior to the end
of the term. The first fiscal year of the contract will begin on July 1, 2020 and end on June 30, 2021.
The Fiscal Year 2019-2020 Capital Improvement Program (CIP)appropriated approximately $53.8 million
worth of capital projects.To support this effort,the total not to exceed amount for each agreement over the
fiscal one-year term is recommended at $300,000,although it is not anticipated to be reached for all
agreements.These costs would be charged against the various approved City funded CIP projects through its
sources of funding.There is no city obligation to expend any funds or guarantee any work under these
agreements.The consultants will only work on an on-call basis as defined by the City on a project-by-project
need.Accordingly,all work performed under the agreements will be pursuant to individual task orders that will
have a specifically defined scope and schedule that will be negotiated on a project-by-project need and budget.
Further,the individual agreements will acknowledge that the individual task orders will dictate the scope of
work under each agreement,up to the not to exceed amount.Should an on-call consultant exceed $300,000 per
fiscal year,staff will present an amendment to City Council for approval.The draft Consultant Services
Agreement template has been attached to the accompanying resolution as Exhibit B.This template has been
reviewed and accepted by the various selected consultants with whom the contract will be executed,and while
certain minor modifications to the template agreement have been negotiated by some of these consultants,the
terms of the template agreement will be substantially the same for all selected consultants.
FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact as costs for these special on-call services will be charged to the respective projects that has
been previously appropriated and approved by the City Manager and/or City Council.Each specific approved
City funded CIP project budget already includes funding for architectural,engineering and/or specialized
professional services.
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN
Approval of the various Consulting Services Agreements for On-Call Architectural,Engineering and Other
Professional Services supports the City’s Strategic Plan to improve Quality of Life;by advancing the City’s
Capital Improvement Program.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that City Council approve and authorize the City Manager to execute various consulting
services agreements with the selected consultants listed in Attachment 2 for the various service areas.This
would allow city staff to deliver approved city-funded projects in an efficient manner.

to Consultant until such time as the exact amount of damages, if any, due City from
Consultant is determined. If Consultant materially breaches any of the terms of this
Agreement, City’s remedies shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
8.6.1 Immediately terminate the Agreement;
8.6.2 Retain the plans, specifications, drawings, reports, design documents, and any
other work product prepared by Consultant pursuant to this Agreement;
8.6.3 Retain a different consultant to complete the work described in Exhibit A not

completed the work.
Section 9. KEEPING AND STATUS OF RECORDS.
9.1 Records Created as Part of Consultant’s Performance. All reports, data, maps,
models, charts, studies, surveys, photographs, memoranda, plans, studies, specifications,
records, files, or any other documents or materials, in electronic or any other form, that
Consultant prepares or obtains pursuant to this Agreement and that relate to the matters
covered hereunder shall be the property of the City. Consultant hereby agrees to deliver
those documents to the City upon termination of the Agreement. It is understood and
agreed that the documents and other materials, including but not limited to those described
above, prepared pursuant to this Agreement are prepared specifically for the City and are
not necessarily suitable for any future or other use. City and Consultant agree that, until
final approval by City, all data, plans, specifications, reports and other documents are
confidential and will not be released to third parties without prior written consent of both
Parties except as required by law.
9.2 Consultant’s Books and Records. Consultant shall maintain any and all ledgers, books
of account, invoices, vouchers, canceled checks, and other records or documents
evidencing or relating to charges for services or expenditures and disbursements charged
Consulting Services Agreement between [Rev:2020.02.05] (DATE)
City of South San Francisco and On Call Consultant Page 14 of 18
to the City under this Agreement for a minimum of three (3) years, or for any longer period
required by law, from the date of final payment to the Consultant to this Agreement.
9.3 Inspection and Audit of Records. Any records or documents that Section 9.2 of this
Agreement requires Consultant to maintain shall be made available for inspection, audit,
and/or copying at any time during regular business hours, upon oral or written request of
the City. Under California Government Code Section 8546.7, if the amount of public funds
expended under this Agreement exceeds ten thousand ($10,000.00), the Agreement shall
be subject to the examination and audit of the State Auditor, at the request of City or as
part of any audit of the City, for a period of three (3) years after final payment under the
Agreement.
9.4 Records Submitted in Response to an Invitation to Bid or Request for Proposals. All
responses to a Request for Proposals (RFP) or invitation to bid issued by the City become
the exclusive property of the City. At such time as the City selects a bid, all proposals
received become a matter of public record, and shall be regarded as public records, with
the exception of those elements in each proposal that are defined by Consultant and
plainly marked as “Confidential,” "Business Secret" or “Trade Secret."
The City shall not be liable or in any way responsible for the disclosure of any such
proposal or portions thereof, if Consultant has not plainly marked it as a "Trade Secret" or
"Business Secret," or if disclosure is required under the Public Records Act.
Although the California Public Records Act recognizes that certain confidential trade secret
information may be protected from disclosure, the City may not be in a position to establish
that the information that a prospective bidder submits is a trade secret. If a request is
made for information marked "Trade Secret" or "Business Secret," and the requester takes
legal action seeking release of the materials it believes does not constitute trade secret
information, by submitting a proposal, Consultant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless the City, its agents and employees, from any judgment, fines, penalties, and
award of attorneys’ fees awarded against the City in favor of the party requesting the
information, and any and all costs connected with that defense. This obligation to
indemnify survives the City's award of the contract. Consultant agrees that this
indemnification survives as long as the trade secret information is in the City's possession,
which includes a minimum retention period for such documents.
Section 10 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
10.1 Attorneys’ Fees. If a Party to this Agreement brings any action, including arbitration or an
action for declaratory relief, to enforce or interpret the provision of this Agreement, the
prevailing Party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees in addition to any other relief
to which that Party may be entitled. The court may set such fees in the same action or in a
separate action brought for that purpose.

Agreement, the Parties agree that trial of such action shall be vested exclusively in the

for the Northern District of California.
10.3 Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds or rules that any provision of this
Agreement is invalid, void, or unenforceable, the provisions of this Agreement not so
adjudged shall remain in full force and effect. The invalidity in whole or in part of any
provision of this Agreement shall not void or affect the validity of any other provision of this
Agreement.
10.4 No Implied Waiver of Breach. The waiver of any breach of a specific provision of this
Agreement does not constitute a waiver of any other breach of that term or any other term
of this Agreement.
10.5 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
and shall apply to and bind the successors and assigns of the Parties.
10.6 Use of Recycled Products. Consultant shall prepare and submit all reports, written

10.7 Conflict of Interest. During the term of this Agreement, the Consultant shall disclose any
financial, business, or other relationship with City that may have an impact upon the
outcome of this Agreement or any ensuing City construction project. The Consultant shall
also list current clients who may have a financial interest in the outcome of this Agreement
or any ensuing City construction project which will follow. Consultant certifies that it has
disclosed to City any actual, apparent, or potential conflicts of interest that may exist
relative to the services to be provided pursuant to this Agreement. Consultant agrees to
advise City of any actual, apparent or potential conflicts of interest that may develop
subsequent to the date of execution of this Agreement. Consultant further agrees to
complete any statements of economic interest if required by either City ordinance or State
law. The Consultant hereby certifies that it does not now have nor shall it acquire any
financial or business interest that would conflict with the performance of services under this
Agreement. The Consultant hereby certifies that the Consultant or subconsultant and any
firm affiliated with the Consultant or subconsultant that bids on any construction contract or
on any Agreement to provide construction inspection for any construction project resulting
from this Agreement, has established necessary controls to ensure a conflict of interest
does not exist. An affiliated firm is one, which is subject to the control of the same persons,
through joint ownership or otherwise.
Consultant may serve other clients, but none whose activities within the corporate limits of
City or whose business, regardless of location, would place Consultant in a “conflict of
interest,” as that term is defined in the Political Reform Act, codified at California
Government Code Section 81000, et seq.

employee, agent, appointee, or official of the City in the previous twelve (12) months,
Consultant warrants that it did not participate in any manner in the forming of this
Agreement. Consultant understands that, if this Agreement is made in violation of
Government Code §1090, et seq., the entire Agreement is void and Consultant will not be
entitled to any compensation for services performed pursuant to this Agreement, including
reimbursement of expenses, and Consultant will be required to reimburse the City for any
sums paid to the Consultant. Consultant understands that, in addition to the foregoing, it
may be subject to criminal prosecution for a violation of Government Code § 1090 and, if
applicable, will be disqualified from holding public office in the State of California.
