funding. City Attorney Woodruff indicated that staff brought the ballot measure forward to request
voter approval. If approved, the team could provide clarity on the possible financing of projects.
Mayor Nagales and Councilmember Flores shared their concerns about funding sources. If supporting
a ballot measure that will benefit the community, it is crucial to identify where the funding will be
coming from and what projects would be impacted. Council requested a model of the proposed
project, including the budget.
Councilmember Addiego also expressed concern with voter questions about affordable housing and
funding and requested additional information on where staff has identified funding for affordable
housing?
City Attorney Woodruff explained that Article 34 allows the city to identify and construct a project
to present a project-specific plan that requests authority from voters to execute the project. He noted
that other agencies have asked for authority from voters and, when granted, return with a plan which
is what was presented to the Council.
Councilmember Flores thanked City Attorney Woodruff for the thorough explanation but reiterated
his desire to get additional information on funding sources. City Attorney Woodruff indicated that
the last day to place a ballot measure for the November 8, 2022, election would be August 5, 2022.
Vice Mayor Nicolas supports affordable housing but expressed concern about having the city invest
in housing given its unfamiliarity and the importance of being taxpayers informed of city investments
reiterating the need to determine future funding.
Councilmember Addiego echoed the Council's comments and noted the importance of a premier
housing project maintained adequately and funded appropriately. He requested staff provide
additional housing information for the Council.
Mayor Nagales requested that staff prepare a cost-neutral project model for the Council's and
community consideration, including a breakdown of the district's loss of property tax revenue. City
Attorney Woodruff provided an overview of possible projects and funding mechanisms. City
Manager Futrell indicated that staff would provide that information to Council in a Thursday memo.
Councilmember Coleman suggested staff research Jefferson Union High School District (JUHSD)
Serramonte Del Rey site funding and community benefits.
City Attorney Woodruff noted the Council's request to understand what a city project under Article
34 would look like in terms of funding, long-term investment, maintenance, and impact on other
taxing entities as properties owned by the city are not subject to property tax.
City Manager Futrell indicated that a potential study session could be held in June 2022 to meet the
August 5, 2022, deadline. He will work with his team to explore feasibility.

Report regarding a resolution approving a First Amendment with Flatiron West (Flatiron)of Benicia,
California,for the Wet Weather and Digester Improvements Project (CIP Project No.ss1301)(Brian
Schumacker, Plant Superintendent)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving and authorizing the City Manager
to execute the First Amendment with West (Flatiron) of Benicia, California.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On July 11,2018,the City Council of South San Francisco awarded Flatiron West (Flatiron)the Wet Weather
and Digester Improvements Project (CIP Project No.ss1301)through a competitive bid process in the amount
of $49,600,891.
Municipalities include a contingency for public works projects typically in the fifteen to twenty percent range.
This project contingency is an amount added to a capital improvement project to allow for uncertain factors,
items,and conditions,found during construction that will increase project costs.With respect to the large dollar
amount of the Wet Weather and Digester Improvements Project,staff included a smaller five percent
contingency which is approximately $2,480,000.
Even with thorough planning,accurate design and strong project administration,unexpected,additional work
has necessitated change orders, increasing the needed contingency.
Change Orders include:
·replacement of corroded handrails at Aeration Basins Five through Seven
·replacement of degraded air diffusers at Aeration Basin Seven
·changing of galvanized fittings to stainless steel
·replacement of deteriorating slide gates at Aeration Basins Eight and Nine with new slide gates,
·addition of protective siding on two sides of the recuperative thickening system pad
·engineering and repairing a leak at Flow Splitting Structure Three
·the inclusion of coverage for earthquakes greater than 3.0 and tsunamis to the project insurance, and
·installation of a confined space recue door on Digester Three
Before-and-after photos of some of these work items are provided in the attachment to this staff report.
Since award of the Project contract in 2018,the Project has incurred additional unforeseen costs and exhausted
the previously approved 5%contingency.This First Amendment requests additional contract amount to pay
additional unforeseen costs incurred.These costs are broken down as follows:as of the end of February 2022,
the amount of additional change orders totaled approximately $1,360,000.Examining the remainder of the
project,engineers anticipate about an additional $220,000 of needed work related to repairing a leak at Flow
Splitting Structure Three,as well as an additional $120,000 for any unforeseen subterranean work related to
underground piping and electrical connections that may vary from the 1960s construction drawings used to bid

underground piping and electrical connections that may vary from the 1960s construction drawings used to bid
the project. In total, the additional costs amount to approximately $1,700,000.
If the additional $1,700,000 amount is approved,the total projected cost for change orders for the entire project
would be $4,180,000 ($1,700,000 +$2,480,000 (amount of the originally approved 5%project contingency))
or, roughly eight percent of the entire contract amount.
Independent construction managers and inspectors for the City state that the General Contractor,Flatiron,is
performing well and has agreed to equitable pricing for each of the change order items.Finally,given the
complexity,duration and size of the project construction managers and staff believe that the increased needed
contingency is within reason and prudent.
Staff recommends a resolution approving a First Amendment to the agreement with Flatiron West (Flatiron)of
Benicia,California,for the Wet Weather and Digester Improvements Project (CIP Project No.ss1301)
increasing the project contingency by $1,700,000.The contract amendment will increase the not to-exceed
(NTE)amount of the Agreement from $52,080,936 ($49,600,891 +$2,480,000)to $53,780,936 to facilitate
additional unforeseen change orders.
FUNDING
Funding is included in the City of South San Francisco Capital Improvement Program (CIP)for the Wet
Weather and Digester Improvements Project (CIP Project No. ss1301).
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN
The City of South San Francisco promotes public health and environmental stewardship.Continuing to fund
wastewater infrastructure positively affects the quality of life for South San Francisco residents,businesses and
visitors by protecting public health and safety.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends a contract amendment with Flatiron West (Flatiron)of Benicia,California,to increase the
not-to-exceed (NTE)amount to $53,780,936 for the Wet Weather and Digester Improvements Project (CIP
Project No. ss1301)

An application for the program opened on April 20th and closed on May 13th.Significant outreach was done
during the application period,with assistance from City staff,the Economic Advancement Center,and the
Chamber of Commerce.
Applications were reviewed for accuracy and eligibility the week of May 16th.Due to the program guidelines

requesting funds for non-ADA upgrades or did not respond how they planned to use the funds.
·Of the 20 businesses selected in the lottery, the total requested funds equaled $486,500.
·An additional 13 businesses were put on a waiting list as the program funds have been depleted. The
additional 13 businesses that are on a waiting list are requesting a total amount of $325,000.
Appropriating an additional $325,000 would fund all applications which requested funds to fully improve
accessibility under the ADA. An additional 14 businesses that submitted applications requested funds in the
amount of $341,500. If the City Council considers the action to add the additional grant funds to this program,
staff will continue working with the selected businesses under a grant agreement and determine the exact
amounts each business is eligible to receive based on the upgrades being done.
If additional funds remain in the program, staff will conduct a second lottery with all remaining applications to
fund any remaining businesses. Staff will report back on the success of the program once funds begin getting
disbursed.
FISCAL IMPACT
The additional appropriation of $325,000 would be funded from the City General Fund Infrastructure Reserves.
If approved,the total amount appropriated into the Façade and Tenant Improvement Grant Program would
equal $825,000.
CONCLUSION
The program was developed to provide an additional tool to revitalize commercial corridors throughout the
City,increase accessibility to local businesses,provide much needed access to capital to struggling businesses
coming out of the Pandemic, and ensure funds are going to small businesses that employ low-income residents.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution:
1.Appropriating an additional $325,000 from the City General Fund,with Budget Amendment Number
22.069 to financially support the program.

CAP SECTION 103 FACT SHEET
(As of 30 March 2022, for TSP Milestone)
1. Project Name: Lower Colma Creek CAP 103
2. a. Corps District: San Francisco District
b. Sponsor: City of South San Francisco, working through the South San Francisco Water Quality
Control Plant (SSF WQCP)
3. Congressional Delegation: U.S. House of Representatives Congressional District 14 (CA):
Representative Jackie Speier, Democrat; U.S. Senate: Senators Dianne Feinstein and Alex Padilla
4. Location: The SSF WQCP is in the City of South San Francisco, CA (SSF), which is part of San
Mateo County. South San Francisco is bordered by the cities of Brisbane to the north and San Bruno
to the south. The SSF WQCP is located on the right bank of the Lower Colma Creek where it meets
San Francisco Bay (see Figure 1). The San Francisco Bay is tidally influenced with connection to the
Pacific Ocean through an inlet by San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge, north of the project area
(see Error! Reference source not found.).
Figure 1. The South San Francisco Wastewater Quality Control Plant and nearest sanitary pump stations
are located just north of San Francisco International Airport, along Colma Creek and San Francisco
Bay.

Figure 3 shows the service area of the SSF WQCP, which includes 165,000 full time residents, plus the
daily population of the San Francisco International Airport (SFO) that rely on the plant. Disadvantaged
communities and socially vulnerable groups make up a significant portion of the study area in San Bruno
and South San Francisco. The study area also comprises affluent and majority white communities, such as
Burlingame.

5. Problem:
Problems.
1. Storm driven waves and currents cause coastal flood risk to the SSF WQCP which risks
economic damages resulting from damage to infrastructure and contents, plant service shutdown,
and cleanup costs from the backup of untreated effluent in homes, businesses, and streets
throughout the service area.
2. Should significant flooding occur at the SSF WQCP or at pump station 4, there is a risk of service
disruption to their roughly 112,000 customers resulting in potential business and household
economic losses.
3. Public and environmental health is at risk should coastal flooding cause the need for emergency
releases of untreated effluent into Colma Creek and San Francisco Bay.
4. The coastal flood risk endangers human life and safety of the WQCP workers and operators
should the plant flood.
5. Human safety is endangered from direct exposure to untreated sewage backing up in the sewer
system and overflowing in toilets and manholes in the service area of the SSF WQCP in the event
of a plant shutdown caused by coastal flooding.
Opportunities.
1. There is an opportunity to avoid or reduce discharges of untreated effluent into the Bay and avoid
water quality degradation and associated impacts to human health and the environment.
Opportunities to improve habitat values and the aesthetic and recreational experience in the study area
were also investigated.
Planning Objectives.
1. Manage the risk of flooding at the SSF WQCP and its pump stations.
2. Manage risk to human life and safety due to flooding at the SSF WQCP and its pump stations.
3. Reduce the economic damages that result from flooding of the WQCP (including pump stations),
and the associated potential service disruptions and/or plant shutdowns.
4. Reduce damages to the environment (people and other living things) that result from flooding and
the associated releases of untreated effluent into Colma Creek or San Francisco Bay.
Planning Constraints.
1. The project cannot compromise the safety and security of the SSF WQCP, which is critical
infrastructure for the region.
2. There is also the universal constraint that the project must comply with applicable federal laws,
regulations and policies.
6. Alternative Plans Considered:
Eleven structural measures, seven non-structural measures, and one recreation measure were
identified for initial consideration. The team used existing information, or rough calculations to
screen the least promising measures from further consideration. Alternatives or measures which
exceeded the cost limit for the CAP, or which were not constructible due to lack of space, or were
determined to be ineffective means for achieving the objectives of the project were not carried
forward. Five measures were ultimately retained and 16 were screened out. Two non-structural
66
5
measures were screened for some application, but retained for more limited application, such as
raising the electrical system and emergency exits only.
Table 1 summarizes the measures which were retained:
Table 1. Summary of Measure Screening and Rationale for Lower Colma Creek 103
Measure (type of measure) Retained /
Screened
Rationale/Reason
Floodwall (structural) Retained There is sufficient space to site a floodwall and
cost estimate is within CAP cost limit. Alignment
can be pulled back from shoreline as much as
possible to avoid impacts to adjacent marsh near
bridge on north end of WQCP. Floodwalls are
compatible with plant operability.
Flood proofing of key
structures (non-structural)
Retained Depths of flooding are shallow and velocities are
low, which makes flood proofing a viable potential
measure. Cost is competitive compared to other
measures. SLR adaptability would be to seal plant
more frequently. May impact operability and
performance of plant, which needs investigation.
Operating during flood conditions could endanger
workers at the plant, so a safety assessment is
needed.
Flood warning system (non-
structural)
Retained For the non-structural operation, the flood warning
system is necessary to ensure all flood proofed
doors, windows, and stop log vehicular access gate
are closed. Because these facilities will be used
daily, with doors and gates opened for access,
these would need to be closed for the non-
structural plan to be effective.
Ring Levee (non-structural) Screened for
main WQCP
Retained for
pump station 4
Insufficient space
For pump station 4, there is room for a small
retaining wall type concrete floodwall around the
perimeter station, with a stop log gate for vehicular
access. Cost is well within CAP cost limit.
Raise critical assets in place
(non-structural)
Screened for
most assets
Retained for
electrical
system only
Infeasible/not cost effective compared with
floodproofing
It is not feasible to floodproof the entire network of
subterranean electrical system, which is
particularly hazardous if flooded. Raising electrical
only was retained.
The initial evaluation of measures found the recreation and nature-based coastal storm risk management
options to be limited yet expensive, so these measures were not carried forward. In combining measures
into alternatives, the team sought to establish a range of risk management via a smaller floodwall
alignment on only the lowest lying side of the plant (north side of the plant only), tying into high ground,
and a second more comprehensive alignment that included a floodwall along the southern side of the plant
67
6
as well (see Figure 5). The remaining boundaries of the plant were determined to be either sufficiently
high in elevation to not require a floodwall, as they did not overtop for any scenario that was modeled; or
in the case of the finger piers, to flood slightly during some modeled events but to not cause significant
damages. Where the San Francisco Bay Trail crosses the alignment by the Costco parking lot, the
elevation is already high. There is a low spot directly east of that which would be filled to raise it to the
minimum elevation, to not create a low point where water can flow across the floodwall. The trail would
therefore be unimpeded and continue to allow recreation. The floodwall would tie into the trail just east of
where the green line begins in the left of Figure 4. This floodwall would vary in height above grade based
on the ground elevation, but is roughly three to four feet high.
Figure 4. The floodwall on the North side of the WQCP is included in Alternatives 1 and 2, and would
extend from the creek side of Costco, east to tie into higher elevation by the eastern side of the plant. The
SF Bay Trail will not be impeded.
68
7
Figure 5. Alternative 2 also includes a shorter floodwall along the southern edge of the plant where
elevations are lower, in addition to the north wall shown in Figure 4.
Figure 6. Alternatives 1, 2, and 3 all include a ring floodwall at sanitary pump station 4, which is roughly
2 feet high at grade, with a stop log gate which would need to be closed in a flood event to keep water
out.
There is no critical infrastructure at risk in the finger pier location. The finger piers are currently used by
the City of South San Francisco for miscellaneous storage, for example old street lights, and overflow
airport parking by the leasee Park SFO, who operates a large parking garage further upland from the
finger piers (see Figure 1). Damages in this location are not significant enough to justify measures here,
and these uses could be relocated to avoid flood damages. The existing marsh that fringes the WQCP, and
the finger piers were identified as potential mitigation locations for this project.
69
8
Both floodwall alternatives and the non-structural alternative include a non-structural measure of a small
ring floodwall around pump station 4, which was determined to be at high risk from flooding. This will
likely be a small-scale sheetpile I-wall which does not require excavation, roughly two feet high at grade
on average, with a stop log gate to provide vehicular access. The subterranean control room and
infrastructure at this location result in high consequences from flooding, including sewage backups into
residences and streets, flowing through manholes and toilets.
Floodproofing Pump Station 4 was determined to be infeasible, and a smaller perimeter alignment was
considered, but determined to impede operations as vehicles access the grated access panels. Flood
proofing was not feasible to protect the “at-grade” 480Volt Motor Control Center (MCC), a 12kV utility
power (PG&E) transformer, an emergency standby-by power generator, and multiple subgrade conduit
vaults that connect the station’s equipment to their respective power sources. These structures would be
inundated with flood water, causing all utility and emergency backup power supplied to the station to fail.
This would ultimately cease operation of the station to convey sewage, subsequently, causing the station
to overflow. Thus, a full perimeter wall, 2 feet above grade on average, with stop log vehicular gate
access, was included. An early flood warning system is also necessary to ensure that the stop log gate is
sealed prior to flood waters reaching them.
Final Array of Alternatives.
Three alternatives were included in the final array for final comparison, plus a No Action alternative. The
non-federal sponsor did not request consideration of a Locally Preferred Plan. The non-structural only
plan is not implementable within the CAP cost limit, but was retained per the requirement to include a
complete nonstructural only plan in the final array of alternatives for flood risk projects within USACE.
No Action Alternative—in this scenario, the federal government would take no action to address coastal
flood risk at the SSF WQCP and pump stations. Coastal flood risk would increase over time.
Alternative 1—the North Floodwall Alternative includes an I-wall (sheetpile) floodwall, approximately
3 to 4 feet above grade at WQCP at the north side of the WQCP adjacent to the right-bank of Creek. At
Pump Station 4, a perimeter sheetpile floodwall, approximately 2 feet above grade, would be constructed,
with stop log gate for vehicular access and early warning system so that plant operators would know
when to seal the stop log gate.
Alternative 2—the North and South Floodwall Alternative includes an I-wall (sheetpile) floodwall,
approximately 3 to 4.5 feet above grade at WQCP at the north side of the WQCP adjacent to the right-
bank of Creek, as well as a second shorter approximately two-foot-high floodwall south of plant adjacent
to San Francisco Bay. At Pump Station 4, a perimeter sheetpile floodwall, approximately 2 feet above
grade, would be constructed, with stop log gate for vehicular access and early warning system so that
plant operators would know when to seal the stop log gate.
Alternative 3—Nonstructural Only Alternative would dry floodproof 23 structures at the main WQCP
by installing water tights doors and windows and using membranes to waterproof structures. The
subterranean interconnected electrical system is not practicable to flood proof and would need to be
elevated, as it is currently all subterranean. This plan also includes a low floodwall, roughly 2 feet high,
and stop log gate around Pump Station 4, and add flood warning system to alert plant staff when to close
the stop log gate, similar to Alternatives 1 and 2. To be complete, this alternative would likely also
require elevated exit doors and walkways to allow plant operators to maneuver between buildings to
operate the plant and allow safe egress during flood events. However, the cost for elevated walkways and
exits was not included in the cost estimate for this alternative, which is already orders of magnitude more
costly. This would only add to the cost.

The evaluation of the Final Array of Alternatives for how effective, efficient and acceptable they are is
summarized in Table 2. The team used existing analysis, collective expertise and professional judgement
to assess and evaluate the alternatives. The metrics are noted in the Tables 1 and 2. Where the metrics are
qualitative, the rationale for ranking is explained.
Effectiveness measures how well the plans meet the primary CSRM objectives of the project, and how
feasible they are to construct, etc. Effectiveness at meeting objectives was discussed by the team for each
objective. All the alternatives were determined to be highly effective for addressing objectives 2 and 3,
based on the initial assessment. For managing risk to human life and safety, the team had concerns that
Alternative 3 could pose safety hazards to plant operators who were going between buildings and
operating the plant when up to 3.77 feet of floodwaters surround the buildings. Measures to manage this
risk for Alternative 3 were added, such as raising the electrical system and elevated exits and walkways.
Nonetheless, the team concluded that Alternative 3 was less safe to plant operators, than the structural
alternatives where there is less risk of floodwaters entering the plant property and endangering operator
safety. The plant operators would need to evacuate should the risk of overtopping occur for Alternatives 2
and 3.
Efficiency was analyzed in the context of cost effectiveness, in this case initially using rough costs and
then again using net NED benefits. Acceptability refers to whether the plan is legally implementable.
Alternative 2 ranked high in all categories, followed by Alternative 1, which ranked high in all but
efficiency, where it ranked medium because it has fewer net benefits than Alternative 2. Alternative 3 was
low in efficiency due to the very high cost of $72 million before a 107% contingency is added. The
contingency was developed during an Abbreviated Cost and Schedule Risk Analysis which documents
great uncertainty and complexity associated with final design and cost of this alternative. Alternative 3
also ranked medium for constructability, as it involves specialized construction, and medium for life
safety since plant operators would be operating the plant in a flood condition, with water surrounding the
buildings.

Table 3 summarizes the comprehensive benefit screening that the team performed to identify a plan that maximizes benefits across all benefit categories. The four benefit accounts that the USACE analyzes are National Economic
Development (NED), Environmental Quality (EQ), Other Social Effects (OSE), and Regional Economic Development (RED). While the primary objectives of the study are all related to managing the risk of flooding due to coastal
storms and tide driven events, the team looked to maximize the benefits that our alternatives could provide. OSE was an important benefit category for this project due to the serious impact to people and society that would come from
large scale raw sewage exposure and contamination in homes and streets, which this project aims to manage the risk of. There were also life safety components to consider for plant operators, since an objective of the study is to keep the
plant operational during a coastal storm, plant operators would need to be able to safety remain on site, without undue risk to their lives. Finally, much of the communities that this WQCP services are socially vulnerable communities who
have been historically disadvantaged. Impacts to these communities can be harder to recover from as they may have less resources, options, and access to services.
73
12
Operability was included as the nonstructural alternative would alter the way the WQCP operates in both
a normal and flood environment, and would require changes to how the operators move around the plant
and between buildings, as well as how the electrical system functions. The work to elevate the electrical
system may require periodic outages during construction, which would impact plant performance. Plant
performance would also be impacted if the plant operators needed to evacuate the plant due to unsafe
flooding, which is more likely in Alternatives 1 and 3. EQ analysis was broken into comparison of each
plan to habitat EQ and cultural resources EQ, as they performed differently. Cultural resources EQ is
negatively impacted by more ground disturbance, so Alternatives 1 and 2 which include structural work
near the banks have the possibility of disturbing buried cultural artifacts or tribal human remains. The EQ
benefits for habitat are tied to avoiding emergency releases of untreated effluent into Colma Creek and
San Francisco Bay. In that sense, Alternatives 2 and 3 are more effective, than Alternative 1 which
mitigates less risk than Alternatives 2 and 3.
7. Description of Likely Recommended Plan.
The likely recommended plan is Alternative 2 which is the NED Plan and the plan that maximizes
benefits across all four benefit accounts. It is also the preferred plan on the non-federal sponsor.
Alternative 2 meets the CSRM objectives of managing risk to human life and safety by managing the
risk of the WQCP and Pump Station 4 flooding, up to an extreme tide elevation of 12.34 ft during a
0.2% AEP event with 50 years at the Intermediate SLR rate from the base year of 2023, with a wall
crest elevation of 13.5 ft. This prevents flooding through the low spots on the north side from the
Colma Creek channel and through the low spots on the south side of the WQCP area. The WQCP is
still susceptible to overland flow from the west, but this flooding was found to enter the WQCP area
only at extreme tide elevations greater than 13 ft. This would allow plant operators to keep the plant
operational and avoid emergency releases of raw sewage into Colma Creek and San Francisco Bay
due to plant shutdowns. It would also manage the risk of coastal flooding causing raw sewage to back
up into homes and streets if pump stations were to fail or the plant were to not be able to accept
pumped sewage. Alternative 2 reduces economic damages that could occur annually by $774,843 and
has annual net benefits of $340,612 and a benefit to cost ratio of 1.78. It improves resiliency to sea
level rise for the project area region. The likely recommended plan also improves social justice by
managing risk of impacts to human health and safety, as well as aesthetic impacts of raw sewage in
socially disadvantaged communities.
Finally, Alternative 2 is relatively straightforward and simple to implement, with the majority of
construction and staging occurring on WQCP property, limited excavation required, and low and
mitigatable impacts to habitat and cultural resources. Because the sheetpile I-walls with concrete caps
proposed for Alternatives 1 and 2 cannot be raised later, they are not inherently adaptable. While
Alternative 1 is still vulnerable to 0.2% AEP events with 20-50 years at the Intermediate SLR rate
from the base year of 2023, Alternative 2 manages risk including 0.2% annual chance events with 50
years at the Intermediate SLR rate from the base year of 2023. Alternative 1 is vulnerable to 10%
AEP events with 50 years at the High SLR rate and 0.2% AEP events with 25 years at the High SLR
rate, while Alternative 2 is vulnerable only at 0.2% AEP events with 50 years at the High SLR rate. In
this sense, Alternative 2 reduces the risk of needing future adaptation based on higher rates of future
SLR, and is a more resilient plan. Because the additional cost for this added resiliency is not very
high, the net benefits from the project increase with this added increment.
Alternative 2 is also implementable within the CAP cost limit and authority.

13. Supplemental Information.
a. Environmental Setting:
Colma Creek in the study area is a tidal channel that has water in it year-round. It has hardened banks,
bars with marsh vegetation and mudflats that are exposed at low tide. It provides habitat for mixed
assemblage of native and nonnative fish, wildlife, plant and invertebrate species typical to the region.
The project area marshes are isolated from larger contiguous marsh areas to the south and east. The
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA
75

Fisheries) multispecies salmonid recovery plan does not identify Colma Creek as suitable or critical
habitat for steelhead, Coho, or Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.).
The project area consists entirely of previously developed or landscaped areas within the existing
WQCP and is adjacent to tidal portions of Colma Creek, the San Bruno Slough, the San Bruno Canal
and the San Francisco Bay shoreline. The surrounding land uses are generally industrial in nature.
The proposed project components are not directly located in areas supporting special-status plants or
wildlife or designated critical habitat.
b. Real Estate:
Land, Easements, Rights-of-Way, Relocation, and Disposal Areas (LERRDs): There are no
impacted utilities/facilities that require relocation identified at this time. Lands include the WQCP
and Pump Station #4 facilities. The real estate cost estimate for the TSP was developed in
accordance with ER 405-1-12 and based upon footprints delineating project requirements
developed for feasibility level design by the San Francisco District Engineering Division. The
two variations for structural alternatives (Alternative 1 and Alternative 2) were reviewed for
LERRDs requirements and include the types of acquisition as follows:
An estimated 0.33 acre is required for staging.
An estimated 0.27 acre is required for construction.
The non-Federal sponsor will acquire the minimum interests in real estate to support the
construction and subsequent operation and maintenance of the future USACE project. USACE
Real Estate Division anticipates Perpetual and Temporary Easement acquisition will be required.
Once the project partnership agreement (PPA) process is complete, the San Francisco District
Engineering Division will prepare the final design for advertisement and construction. During this
process the tract register, and tract maps will be updated to reflect any modifications to include
final staging areas, access requirements, construction haul routes, and recreation features. This
information will be used for review of future crediting purposes.
c. Monitoring and O&M:
The Operations & Maintenance (O&M) of this project will be at 100% non-federal expense,
however USACE will perform inspections. The Inspection of Completed Works (ICW) program
is an O&M program that provides for USACE inspections of federally constructed flood risk
management projects. A draft O&M manual will be developed preceding a project’s final design
state and used by the counties and the USACE to ensure that the project is maintained to USACE
standards. Annual and periodic 5-year ICW inspections will be performed for the Lower Colma
Creek Project which will be based on the O&M manual requirements and current USACE
maintenance standards. The O&M manual will provide a detailed description of the management
activities for the floodwall, channel, vegetation, sediment, debris, bank erosion, concrete surfaces,
and other activities to provide the design flood risk management of the TSP. If the project is
required to provide compensatory mitigation for unavoidable impacts, a mitigation and
monitoring plan will be prepared prior to release of the draft report.

Natural and Nature-Based Features (NNBFs)
(structural)
Screened Areas most suitable for NNBFs do not correlate well with where NNBFs
would be needed for managing coastal storm risk
Improvements to SF Bay Trail (recreation)Screened Routing the trail along the Bay adjacent to the WQCP poses an
unacceptable safety /security threat to critical infrastructure. Alternative
route identified has a high estimated cost and would not substantially
improve recreational experience from the existing experience.
Temporary /deployable flood barriers (structural)Screened Not cost effective compared to floodwalls.
Storm surge barrier at the mouth of Colma Creek
(structural)
Screened Exceeds the cost limit of CAP
Ecotone levee combo with floodwall (structural)Screened Insufficient space, would fill in the entire creek width in order to provide
sufficient flood risk management
CSRM Improvements to Finger Piers (storage and
parking area) (structural)
Screened Insufficient damages to support CSRM measures in this location. Good
potential mitigation location if mitigation is required.
Drainage pump system (structural as they would be
implemented in combination with tide gates or storm
surge barriers)
Screened Exceeds the cost limit of CAP
Standard Levee (structural)Screened Insufficient space
Standard levee/floodwall combo (structural)Screened Insufficient space
Dredging Colma Creek (structural)Screened Not effective in addressing coastal flood risk / meeting objectives
Relocate entire treatment facility (non-structural)Screened Cost (in the billions of dollars) exceeds benefits and CAP cost limit
Relocate structures of concerns (non-structural)Screened Infeasible/not cost efficient
Leverage another treatment facility (non-structural)Screened Not effective as other nearby treatment facilities are also at risk for coastal
flooding
Tide gates (structural)Screened Exceeds the cost limit of CAP
INITIAL SCREENING
87
12
Floodwall (structural)Retained There is sufficient space to site a floodwall and cost estimate is within CAP
cost limit. Alignment can be pulled back from shoreline as much as possible
to avoid impacts to adjacent marsh near bridge on north end of WQCP. Plant
operability and performance is high up to design event. Can be made
adaptable to sea level rise.
Flood proofing of key structures (non-
structural)
Retained Depths of flooding are shallow and velocities are low, which makes flood
proofing a viable potential measure. Cost is competitive compared to other
measures. SLR adaptability would be to seal plant more frequently. May
impact operability and performance of plant, which needs investigation.
Operating during flood conditions could endanger workers at the plant, so a
safety assessment is needed.
Flood warning system (non-structural)Retained For the non-structural operation, the flood warning system is necessary to
ensure flood proofing is sealed and in place, which is operated manually.
Ring Levee (non-structural)Screened for main
WQCP
Retained for pump
station 4
Insufficient space
For pump station 4, there is room for a small retaining wall type concrete
floodwall around the perimeter station, with a stop log gate for vehicular
access. Cost is well within CAP cost limit.
Raise critical assets in place (non-structural)Screened for most
assets
Retained for electrical
system only
Infeasible/not cost effective compared with floodproofing
It is not feasible to floodproof the entire network of subterranean electrical
system, which is particularly hazardous if flooded. Raising electrical only was
retained.

EVALUATING THE ALTERNATIVES
Team started off by looking at
the four planning criteria—
1.Effectiveness
2.efficiency
3.completeness (whether
the benefits can be
realized without future
action from others)
4.acceptability (whether it’s
legally implementable)
This evaluation informed
iterative plan development,
including adding electrical
raising to the non-structural
only plan to make it complete/
safe for plant operators.

Damages included in this analysis include:
•A structural inventory of structures and contents within
the WWTP facility.
•All building characteristics considered in the evaluation,
including information on:
➢foundation height,
➢values of building and its contents,
➢depreciation,
➢information about how the plant operates
➢and the number of sewer lateral connections
•The second and largest source of damages are from the
clean-up cost associated with a failure to the electrical
components to the WWTP and/or to Pump Station #4.
•I.e. back up of raw sewage to some or all of the lateral
connections:
»City of South San Francisco –Approximately 19,000
»City of San Bruno –Approximately 10,586
»City of Daly City –Approximately 471

Problems
For the following problem statements, flood risk is expected to
increase in frequency and magnitude as a result of sea level
change.
1.Storm driven waves and currents cause coastal flood
risk to the SSF WQCP which risks economic damages
resulting from damage to infrastructure and contents,
plant service shutdown, and cleanup costs from the
backup of untreated effluent in homes, businesses, and
streets throughout the service area.
2.Should significant flooding occur at the SSF WQCP or at
pump station 4, there is a risk of service disruption to their
roughly 112,000 customers resulting in potential
business and household economic losses.
3.Public and environmental health is at risk should coastal
flooding cause the need for emergency releases of
untreated effluent into Colma Creek and San Francisco Bay.
4.The coastal flood risk endangers human life and safety
of the WQCP workers and operators should the plant
flood.
5.Human safety is endangered from direct exposure to
untreated sewage backing up in the sewer system and
overflowing in toilets and manholes in the service area of
the SSF WQCP in the event of a plant shutdown caused by
coastal flooding.
PLAN FORMULATION
Opportunities
1.There is an opportunity to avoid or reduce discharges of untreated effluent into
the Bay and avoid water quality degradation and associated impacts to human
health and the environment.
2.Opportunities to improve habitat values and the aesthetic and recreational
experience in the study area were also investigated.
Constraints
1.The project cannot compromise the safety and security of the SSF
WQCP, which is critical infrastructure for the region.
2.There is also the universal constraint that the project must comply with
applicable federal laws, regulations and policies.
Planning Objectives
1.Manage the risk of flooding at the SSF WQCP and its pump stations.
2.Manage risk to human life and safety due to flooding at the SSF WQCP and
its pump stations.
3.Reduce the economic damages that result from flooding of the WQCP
(including pump stations), and the associated potential service disruptions
and/or plant shutdowns.
4.Reduce damages to the environment (people and other living things) that
result from flooding and the associated releases of untreated effluent into
Colma Creek or San Francisco Bay.101

Report regarding a resolution approving a two-year professional services agreement with Flock Safety for the
service and installation of twenty-eight automated license plate recognition cameras in the amount not to
exceed $164,780 and authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement.(Scott Campbell,Police Chief
and Maryjo Nuñez, Lead for America Fellow, City Manager’s Office)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution approving a two-year professional services agreement
with Flock Safety for the service and installation of twenty-eight automated license plate recognition cameras
in the amount not to exceed $164,780 and authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On November 2,2021,City of South San Francisco (City)staff presented a report regarding the use of
stationary automated license plate recognition (ALPR)cameras at the City Council special meeting.The
consideration for this request was initiated by a letter received from the South San Francisco Chamber of
Commerce.On January 26,2022,City staff presented the ALPR camera concept plan at the City Council study
session and recommended that the Council review and authorize staff to move forward with the procurement
and installation of thirty-one ALPR cameras across the City.After careful analysis of potential camera
locations,it was determined that twenty-eight cameras would adequately meet the needs of the City resulting in
a $7,500.00 per year savings.The ALPR camera is a valuable tool used by many cities in San Mateo County to
help with investigations,real-time alerts,and deterrence of crime.After City Council discussion,Council
approved a plan to move forward with the installation of the ALPR cameras.
The South San Francisco Police Department has been researching ALPR technology for several years and
found Flock Safety to be well established across the country and Bay Area.Flock Safety provides crime-
fighting technology (cameras and software)on a subscription-based service model.Flock Safety's service is a
flat annual fee and includes ALPR camera hardware,hardware maintenance,ALPR software,software updates,
unlimited users,30 days of unlimited data storage,LTE connectivity,solar panels,optional utility poles,
installation equipment and monitoring.Flock Safety provides all the supplies and equipment that are necessary
for safe operation under standard operating procedures and meets all government regulations and workplace
safety guidelines.
Flock Safety is a public safety operating system that helps communities and law enforcement (in over one
thousand cities nationwide)work together to eliminate crime,protect privacy,and mitigate bias.A majority of
cities in San Mateo County are currently using Flock Safety or are in the process of acquiring the technology.
Flock Safety is a fully integrated ALPR solution from camera production to delivery and installation.The
camera uses motion capture to start and stop recording using machine learning and artificial intelligence,
allowing Flock Safety to capture vehicle performance without the need for a reflective license plate.The
cameras can capture and process 30,000 vehicles per day and capture two lanes of traffic simultaneously with a
single camera from a vertical mass powered by solar energy.Flock Safety analyzes vehicle license plate,
vehicle make,vehicle color and objects such as roof racks,dents,or unique hub caps.This is based on image

analytics (not car registration data), so personal identifying information is protected.
The software transmits alerts for "hot"license plates with the capability of the plate state match and can set up
alerts based on vehicle description without the need for a license plate.The software makes actionable evidence
available when needed that is easily searchable by vehicle type,make,color,timeframe,partial/full license
plate,and object detection.This technology will allow the South San Francisco Police Department to detect and
stop the actual vehicle used in a crime,instead of similar looking vehicles.This will not only save law
enforcement time in the investigation of criminal activity,but it will also prevent the unnecessary stops and
detentions of motorists who are driving vehicles which may look similar to wanted vehicles but are truly
uninvolved in criminal activity associated with the vehicle.
Flock Safety focuses on objective evidence (vehicle description and license plates)by capturing car features.
Privacy is protected by not using facial recognition technology and not recording any personal identifiable
information such as names,addresses,or phone numbers.The Department will own their data and Flock Safety
does not sell the data to third parties.The camera footage is stored,secured,and encrypted in AWS Government
Cloud and automatically deleted every thirty (30)days on a rolling basis.The camera only takes photos,and
there is no live feed. The system is not monitored, and it is not used for surveillance purposes.
Discussion of Privacy Concerns
Maintaining the privacy of the data collected through ALPR cameras is a high priority.The use of data
collected by ALPR cameras is regulated by state law.Pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1798.90.51,et
seq.,the following requirements for ALPR operators and end-users are already in place in relation to the use of
ALPR data:
·Maintain reasonable security procedures and practices, including operational, administrative, technical,
and physical safeguards, to protect ALPR information from unauthorized access, destruction, use,
modification, or disclosure, including but not limited to an annual audit to review ALPR end-user
searches during the previous year;
·Implement a usage and privacy policy, available to the public in writing, and on the operator’s website,
with information related to:
·The authorized purposes for using the ALPR system and collecting ALPR information, the job title or
other designation of the employees and independent contractors authorized to use or access the ALPR
system or to collect ALPR information;
·The training requirements necessary for authorized employees and independent contractors;
·How the ALPR system will be monitored to ensure the security of the information and compliance with
applicable privacy laws;
·The purposes of, process for, and restrictions on, the sale, sharing, or transfer of ALPR information to
other persons, title of the official custodian or owner of the ALPR system, the reasonable measures that
will be used to ensure the accuracy of ALPR information and correct data errors;
·The length of time ALPR information will be retained, and the process the ALPR operator will utilize to
determine if and when to destroy retained ALPR information.
The following City policies are also consistent with Senate Bill 210 (SB 210),proposed by Senator Scott
Weiner during the 2021 legislative session,which was considered when forming policies for South San

Francisco to protect privacy and to ensure data is used only for authorized purposes:
·Limit access to collected data to those with a demonstrated “need to know,”documenting by name who
has access to the data and an access log showing who has accessed the data and for what purpose;
·ALPR data that does not match hot list information will be destroyed within 30 days or less of
collection;
·Data which does match hot list information or which is reasonably needed to investigate or assist with
prosecution of criminal activity may be retained until the data is no longer needed or required to be
retained, after which it will be destroyed;
·No data will be sold;
·ALPR camera data may only be shared with other law enforcement agencies for the purpose of
investigating and/or prosecuting criminal activity.Data will not be shared with the Immigration
Customs Enforcement Agency, either directly or indirectly;
·Measures will be used to ensure the accuracy of ALPR information and correct data errors,working
with the City’s IT Department and the City’s ALPR camera contractor;
·Posting the City’s usage and privacy policy on the City website,making it easily accessible to the
public;
·A quarterly audit will be held to review ALPR end-user searches during the year and determine if
searches were compliant with the usage and privacy policy set forward and confirm that all ALPR data
was destroyed on schedule;
·Creation of an ALPR Transparency Portal on the City website,which will include the usage and privacy
policy, making it easily accessible to the public;
·Training of all Police Department personnel on the policies and restrictions concerning ALPR camera
use and data.
Services Agreement
The South San Francisco Police Department is requesting that the services agreement of the Flock Safety
system be authorized pursuant to the “sole source”procurement method under the South San Francisco
Municipal Code.The “sole source”procurement method is used to describe instances where the products or
services the City desires to obtain are available only from one vendor,and the City is procuring such product or
service from that vendor instead of going through the open market procedure.South San Francisco Municipal
Code 4.04.080(a)permits the City to dispense with open market procedures if a commodity can only be
obtained from one vendor.
Most San Mateo County cities are using the Flock Safety system, making it the only system in San Mateo
County for providing the City with a comprehensive ALPR database and alerts. Utilizing the Flock Safety

system allows the City to access the comprehensive Flock Safety database to better solve cases and also makes
the City compatible with other jurisdictions in San Mateo County. Staff are not aware of any other company
offering these same services, including a comprehensive database, in the County. The Flock Safety equipment
has proprietary patented technology which makes the Flock Safety system unique as well as they are the sole
manufacturer and distributor of the Flock Safety ALPR cameras. Flock Safety is also the sole provider of the
comprehensive monitoring, processing, and machine vision services that integrate with the Flock Safety

disassemble, reverse engineer or otherwise attempt to obtain or perceive the source code from which any software
component of any of the Flock IP is compiled or interpreted, or apply any other process or procedure to derive the
source code of any software included in the Flock IP, or attempt to do any of the foregoing, and Agency
acknowledges that nothing in this Agreement will be construed to grant Agency any right to obtain or use such
source code; (iii) modify, alter, tamper with or repair any of the Flock IP, or create any derivative product from any

title to any Flock Hardware does not pass to Agency upon execution of this Agreement. Agency is not permitted to
remove, reposition, re-install, tamper with, alter, adjust or otherwise take possession or control of Flock Hardware.
Notwithstanding the notice and cure period set for in Section 6.3, Agency agrees and understands that in the event
Agency is found to engage in any of the restricted actions of this Section 2.4(b), all warranties herein shall be null
and void, and this Agreement shall be subject to immediate termination (without opportunity to cure) for material
breach by Agency.

Flock’s sole discretion. There are no implied rights.
2.6 Suspension. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Flock may temporarily suspend

possible after the event giving rise to the Service Suspension is cured. Flock will have no liability for any damage,
liabilities, losses (including any loss of data or profits) or any other consequences that Agency or any Authorized
End User may incur as a result of a Service Suspension. To the extent that the Service Suspension is not caused by
Agency’s direct actions or by the actions of parties associated with the Agency, the expiration of the Term will be
tolled by the duration of any suspension (for any continuous suspension lasting at least one full day) prorated for the
proportion of cameras on the Agency ’s account that have been impacted.
2.7 Installation Services.
2.7.1 Designated Locations. For installation of Flock Hardware, prior to performing the physical installation of the
Units, Flock shall advise Agency on the location and positioning of the Units for optimal license plate image
capture, as conditions and location allow. Flock may consider input from Agency regarding location, position and
angle of the Units (each Unit location so designated by Agency, a “Designated Location”). Flock shall have final
discretion on location of Units. Flock shall have no liability to Agency resulting from any poor performance,
functionality or Footage resulting from or otherwise relating to the Designated Locations or delay in installation due
to Agency’s delay in confirming Designated Locations, in ordering and/or having the Designated Location ready for
installation including having all electrical work preinstalled and permits ready, if necessary. The deployment plan
will confirm the Designated Location. After installation, any subsequent changes to the deployment plan
(“Reinstalls”) will incur a charge for Flock’s then-current list price for Reinstalls, as listed in the then-current
Reinstall Policy (available at https://www.flocksafety.com/reinstall-fee-schedule) and any equipment charges. These
changes include but are not limited to camera re-positioning, adjusting of camera mounting, re-angling, removing
foliage, camera replacement, changes to heights of poles, regardless of whether the need for Reinstalls related to
vandalism, weather, theft, lack of criminal activity in view, and the like. Flock Safety shall have full discretion on
decision to reinstall Flock Hardware.
2.7.2 Agency Installation Obligations. Agency agrees to allow Flock and its agents reasonable access in and near
the Designated Locations at all reasonable times upon reasonable notice for the purpose of performing the
installation work. Although the Units are designed to utilize solar power, certain Designated Locations may require
a reliable source of 120V AC power, as described in the deployment plan. In the event adequate solar exposure is
not available Agency is solely responsible for providing a reliable source of 120V AC power to the Units, if
necessary. Additionally, Agency is solely responsible for (i) any permits or associated costs, and managing the
119
permitting process of installation of cameras or AC power; (ii) any federal, state or local taxes including property,
license, privilege, sales, use, excise, gross receipts or other similar taxes which may now or hereafter become
applicable to, measured by or imposed upon or with respect to the installation of the Hardware, its use (excluding
tax exempt entities), or (iii) any other supplementary cost for services performed in connection with installation of
the Hardware, including but not limited to contractor licensing, engineered drawings, rental of specialized
equipment or vehicles, third-party personnel (i.e. Traffic Control Officers, Electricians, State DOT-approved poles,
etc., if necessary), such costs to be approved by the Agency (“Agency Installation Obligations”). In the event that a
Designated Location for a Unit requires permits, Flock will provide the Agency with a temporary alternate location
for installation pending the permitting process. Once the required permits are obtained, Flock will relocate the Units
from the temporary alternate location to the permitted location at no additional cost. Flock will provide options to
supply power at each Designated Location. If Agency refuses alternative power supply options, Agency agrees and
understands that Agency will not be subject to any reimbursement, tolling, or credit for any suspension period of
Flock Services due to low solar. Flock will make all reasonable efforts within their control to minimize suspension
of Flock Services. Any fees payable to Flock exclude the foregoing. Without being obligated or taking any
responsibility for the foregoing, Flock may pay and invoice related costs to Agency if Agency did not address them
prior to the execution of this Agreement or a third party requires Flock to pay. Agency represents and warrants that
it has all necessary right title and authority and hereby authorizes Flock to install the Hardware at the Designated
Locations and to make any necessary inspections or tests in connection with such installation. Flock is not
responsible for installation of Agency Hardware.
2.7.3 Flock’s Obligations. Installation of any Flock Hardware shall be installed in a workmanlike manner in
accordance with Flock’s standard installation procedures, and the installation will be completed within a reasonable
time from the time that the Designated Locations are confirmed. Following the initial installation of the Hardware
and any subsequent Reinstalls or maintenance operations, Flock’s obligation to perform installation work shall
cease; however, for the sole purpose of validating installation, Flock will continue to monitor the performance of the
Units for the length of the Term and will receive access to the Footage for a period of three (3) business days after
the initial installation in order to monitor performance and provide any necessary maintenance solely as a measure
of quality control. Agency understands and agrees that the Flock Services will not function without the Hardware.
Labor may be provided by Flock or a third party. Flock is not obligated to install, reinstall, or provide physical
maintenance to Agency Hardware.
2.7.4 Security Interest. Flock Hardware shall remain the personal property of Flock and will be removed upon the
natural expiration of this Agreement at no additional cost to Agency. Agency shall not perform any acts which
would interfere with the retention of title of the Hardware by Flock. Should Agency default on any payment of the
Flock Services, Flock may remove Hardware at Flock’s discretion. Such removal, if made by Flock, shall not be
deemed a waiver of Flock’s rights to any damages Flock may sustain as a result of Agency’s default and Flock shall
have the right to enforce any other legal remedy or right. 120
2.8 Hazardous Conditions. Unless otherwise stated in the Agreement, Flock’s price for its services under this
Agreement does not contemplate work in any areas that contain hazardous materials, or other hazardous conditions,
including, without limit, asbestos, lead, toxic or flammable substances. In the event any such hazardous materials
are discovered in the designated locations in which Flock is to perform services under this Agreement, Flock shall
have the right to cease work immediately in the area affected until such materials are removed or rendered harmless.
2.9 Support Services. Subject to the payment of fees, Flock shall monitor the performance and functionality of
Flock Services and may, from time to time, advise Agency on changes to the Flock Services, Installation Services,
or the Designated Locations which may improve the performance or functionality of the Services or may improve
the quality of the Footage. The work, its timing, and the fees payable relating to such work shall be agreed by the
Parties prior to any alterations to or changes of the Services or the Designated Locations (“Monitoring Services”).
Subject to the terms hereof, Flock will provide Agency with reasonable technical and on-site support and
maintenance services (“On-Site Services”) in-person or by email at support@flocksafety.com. Flock will use
commercially reasonable efforts to respond to requests for support.
2.10 Special Terms. From time to time, Flock may offer certain “Special Terms” related to guarantees, service and
support which are indicated in the proposal and on the order form and will become part of this Agreement, upon
Agency’s consent. To the extent that any terms of this agreement are inconsistent or conflict with the Special Terms,
the Special Terms shall control.
2.11 Changes to Platform. Flock may, in its sole discretion, make any changes to any system or platform that it
deems necessary or useful to (i) maintain or enhance (a) the quality or delivery of Flock’s products or services to its
Agency s, (b) the competitive strength of, or market for, Flock’s products or services, (c) such platform or system’s
cost efficiency or performance, or (ii) to comply with applicable law. These changes shall be at no additional cost to
Agency.

obligations with respect to Support Services or any Installation Services.
3.2 Agency Representations and Warranties. Agency represents, covenants, and warrants that Agency will use
the Services only in compliance with this Agreement and all applicable laws and regulations, including but not
limited to any laws relating to the recording or sharing of video, photo, or audio content. Although Flock has no
obligation to monitor Agency ’s use of the Services, Flock may do so and may prohibit any use of the Services it
believes may be (or alleged to be) in violation of the foregoing.
4. CONFIDENTIALITY; AGENCY DATA
4.1 Confidentiality. To the extent allowable by applicable FOIA and state-specific Public Records Acts, including
but not limited to the California Public Records Act, each Party (the “Receiving Party”) understands that the other
Party (the “Disclosing Party”) has disclosed or may disclose business, technical or financial information relating to
the Disclosing Party’s business (hereinafter referred to as “Proprietary Information” of the Disclosing Party).
Proprietary Information of Flock includes non-public information regarding features, functionality and performance
of the Services. Proprietary Information of Agency includes non-public data provided by Agency to Flock or
collected by Flock via the Unit, including the Footage, to enable the provision of the Services, which includes but is
not limited to geolocation information and environmental data collected by sensors built into the Units (“Agency
Data”). To the extent allowable by applicable FOIA and state-specific Public Records Acts, including but not
limited to the California Public Records Act, the Receiving Party agrees: (i) to take the same security precautions to
protect against disclosure or unauthorized use of such Proprietary Information that the party takes with its own
proprietary information, but in no event will a party apply less than reasonable precautions to protect such
Proprietary Information, and (ii) not to use (except in performance of the Services or as otherwise permitted herein)
or divulge to any third person any such Proprietary Information. Flock’s use of the Proprietary Information may
include processing the Proprietary Information to send Agency alerts, such as when a car exits Agency ’s
neighborhood, or to analyze the data collected to identify motion or other events. The Disclosing Party agrees that
the foregoing shall not apply with respect to any information that the Receiving Party can document (a) is or
becomes generally available to the public, or (b) was in its possession or known by it prior to receipt from the
Disclosing Party, or (c) was rightfully disclosed to it without restriction by a third party, or (d) was independently
developed without use of any Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party. Nothing in this Agreement will
prevent the Receiving Party from disclosing the Proprietary Information pursuant to any judicial or governmental
order, or lawful criminal or civil subpoenas, or to comply with any provision or obligation required by the California
Public Records Act, provided that the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party reasonable prior notice of such
disclosure to contest such order or disclosure at the Disclosing Party’s sole cost and expense. For clarity, Flock may
access, use, preserve and/or disclose the Footage to law enforcement authorities, government officials, and/or third
parties, if legally required to do so or if Flock has a good faith belief that such access, use, preservation or disclosure
is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with a legal process or request; (b) enforce this Agreement, including
122
investigation of any potential violation thereof; (c) detect, prevent or otherwise address security, fraud or technical
issues; or (d) protect the rights, property or safety of Flock, its users, a third party, or the public as required or
permitted by law, including respond to an emergency situation. Where reasonable, Flock agrees to provide Agency
with notice of such access, use, preservation and/or disclosure. Agency hereby expressly grants Flock a non-
exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free right and license (during and after the term hereof) to disclose the
Agency Data (inclusive of any Footage) to enable law enforcement monitoring against law enforcement hotlists as
well as provide Footage search access to law enforcement for investigative purposes only. Flock may store deleted
Footage in order to comply with certain legal obligations but such retained Footage will not be retrievable without a
valid court order.
4.2 Agency Data. As between Flock and Agency, all right, title and interest in the Agency Data, belong to and are
retained solely by Agency. Agency hereby grants to Flock a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license
to use the Agency Data and perform all acts with respect to the Agency Data as may be necessary for Flock to
provide the Flock Services to Agency, including without limitation the Support Services set forth in Section 2.9
above, and a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid license to use, reproduce,
modify and distribute the Agency Data as a part of the Aggregated Data (as defined in Section 4.4 below).As
between Agency and Non-Agency End Users that have prescribed access of Footage to Agency, each of Agency and
Non-Agency End Users will share all right, title and interest in the Non-Agency End User Data. This Agreement
does not by itself make any Non-Agency End User Data the sole property or the Proprietary Information of Agency.
Flock will automatically delete Footage older than thirty (30) days. Agency has a thirty (30) day window to view,
save and/or transmit Footage to the relevant government agency prior to its deletion.
4.3 Feedback. If Agency provides any suggestions, ideas, enhancement requests, feedback, recommendations or
other information relating to the subject matter hereunder, Agency hereby assigns (and will cause its agents and
representatives to assign) to Flock all right, title and interest (including intellectual property rights) with respect to or
resulting from any of the foregoing.
4.4 Aggregated Data. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Flock shall have the right to
collect and analyze data that does not refer to or identify Agency or any individuals or de-identifies such data and
other information relating to the provision, use and performance of various aspects of the Services and related
systems and technologies (including, without limitation, information concerning Agency Data and data derived
therefrom). For the sake of clarity, Aggregated Data is compiled anonymous data which has been stripped of any
personal identifying information. Agency acknowledges that Flock will be compiling anonymized and/or aggregated
data based on Agency Data input into the Services (the “Aggregated Data”). Agency hereby grants Flock a non-
exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free right and license (during and after the Service Term hereof) to (i) use
and distribute such Aggregated Data to improve and enhance the Services and for other development, diagnostic and
corrective purposes, other Flock offerings, and crime prevention efforts, and (ii) disclose the Agency Data (both
inclusive of any Footage) to enable law enforcement monitoring against law enforcement hotlists as well as provide
123
Footage search access to law enforcement for investigative purposes only. No rights or licenses are granted except
as expressly set forth herein. Flock shall not sell Agency Data or Aggregated Data.
5. PAYMENT OF FEES
5.1a Wing Fees. For Wing products, the Agency will pay Flock the first Usage Fee and the Implementation Fee (as
described on the Order Form attached hereto, together the “Initial Fees”) as set forth on the Order Form on or
before the 30th day following the Effective Date of this Agreement. Flock shall have no liability resulting from any
delay by the Agency in installing the Embedded Software on the Agency Hardware. If applicable, Agency shall pay
the ongoing Usage Fees set forth on the Order Form with such Usage Fees due and payable thirty (30) days in
advance of each payment period. All payments will be made by either ACH, check, or credit card.
5.1b Falcon Fees. For Falcon products during the Initial Term, Agency will pay Flock fifty percent (50%) of the
first Usage Fee, the Implementation Fee and any fee for Hardware (as described on the Order Form attached hereto,
together the “Initial Fees”) as set forth on the Order Form on or before the 30th day following receipt of initial
invoice after Effective Date. Upon commencement of installation, Flock will issue an invoice for twenty-five
percent (25%) of the Initial Fees, and Agency shall pay on or before 30th day following receipt of invoice. Upon
completion of installation, Flock will issue an invoice for the remaining balance and Agency shall pay on or before
30th day following receipt of final invoice. Flock is not obligated to commence the Installation Services unless and
until the first payment has been made and shall have no liability resulting from any delay related thereto. For a
Renewal Term, as defined below, Agency shall pay the entire invoice on or before the 30th day following receipt of
invoice.
5.2 Changes to Fees. Flock reserves the right to change the fees or applicable charges and to institute new charges
and fees at the end of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, upon sixty (60) days’ notice prior to the end of such
Initial Term or Renewal Term (as applicable) to Agency (notice must be sent by mail, with return receipt). If
Agency believes that Flock has billed Agency incorrectly, Agency must contact Flock no later than sixty (60) days
after the closing date on the first billing statement in which the error or problem appeared, in order to receive an
adjustment or credit. Inquiries should be directed to Flock’s Agency support department. Agency acknowledges and
agrees that a failure to contact Flock within this sixty (60) day period will serve as a waiver of any claim Agency
may have had as a result of such billing error.
5.3 Invoicing, Late Fees; Taxes. Flock may choose to bill through an invoice, in which case, full payment for
invoices issued in any given month must be received by Flock thirty (30) days after the mailing date of the invoice.

6. TERM AND TERMINATION
6.1a Wing Term. Subject to earlier termination as provided below, the initial term of this Agreement shall be for the
period of time set forth on the Order Form (the “Initial Term”). The Term shall commence upon execution of this
Agreement. Following the Initial Term, unless otherwise indicated on the Order Form, this Agreement may be
renewed for successive renewal terms of the greater of one year or the length set forth on the Order Form (each, a
“Renewal Term”, and together with the Initial Term, the “Service Term”) upon written notice of renewal prior to
the end of the then-current term and written approval by Agency.
6.1b Falcon Term. Subject to earlier termination as provided below, the initial term of this Agreement shall be for
the period of time set forth on the Order Form (the “Initial Term”). The Term shall commence upon first
installation and validation of a Unit. Following the Initial Term, unless otherwise indicated on the Order Form, this
Agreement may be renewed for successive renewal terms for the length set forth on the Order Form (each, a
“Renewal Term”, and together with the Initial Term, the “Service Term”) upon written notice of renewal prior to
the end of the then-current term.
6.2 Termination for Convenience. At any time during the agreed upon Term, an Agency not fully satisfied with the
service may self-elect to terminate this Agreement for convenience. Termination for convenience will result in a
one-time fee of $500 per Flock Hardware. Upon termination for convenience, a refund will be provided for Falcon
Cameras, prorated for any fees for the remaining Term length set forth previously. Agency will remain liable to pay
the full outstanding fees for any Wing product on the effective date of termination of that Order Form. Flock will
invoice, and Agency will pay, any unbilled fees and any unpaid fees covering the remainder of the term of that
Order Form had it not been terminated. Termination for convenience of the Agreement by the Agency will be
effective immediately. Flock will provide advanced written notice and remove all Flock Hardware at Flock’s own
convenience, within a commercially reasonable period of time upon termination.
6.3 Termination. Notwithstanding the termination provisions in Section 2.4(b), in the event of any material breach
of this Agreement, the non-breaching party may terminate this Agreement prior to the end of the Service Term by
giving thirty (30) days prior written notice to the breaching party; provided, however, that this Agreement will not
terminate if the breaching party has cured the breach prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period. Either
party may terminate this Agreement, without notice, (i) upon the institution by or against the other party of
insolvency, receivership or bankruptcy proceedings, (ii) upon the other party's making an assignment for the benefit
of creditors, or (iii) upon the other party's dissolution or ceasing to do business. Upon termination for Flock’s
material breach, Flock will refund to Agency a pro-rata portion of the pre-paid fees for Services not received due to
such termination.
6.5 No-Fee Term. For the Term of this Agreement, Flock will provide Agency with complimentary access to ‘hot-
list’ alerts, which may include ‘hot tags’, stolen vehicles, Amber Alerts, etc. (“No-Fee Term”). In the event a Non-125
Agency End User grants Agency access to Footage and/or Notifications from a Non-Agency End User Unit, Agency
will have access to Non-Agency End User Footage and/or Notifications until deletion, subject to the thirty (30) day
retention policy. Non-Agency End Users and Flock may, in their sole discretion, leave access open. The No-Fee
Term will survive the Term of this Agreement. Flock, in its sole discretion, can determine not to provide additional
No-Fee Terms or can impose a price per No-Fee Term upon thirty (30) days’ notice. Agency may terminate any No-
Fee Term or access to future No-Fee Terms upon thirty (30) days’ notice.
6.6 Survival. The following Sections will survive termination: 2.4, 2.5, 3, 4, 5 (with respect to any accrued rights to
payment), 6.5, 7.4, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5, 9.1 and 10.5.
7. REMEDY; WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMER
7.1 Remedy. Upon a malfunction or failure of Flock Hardware or Embedded Software (a “Defect”), Agency must
notify Flock’s technical support as described in Section 2.9 above. If Flock is unable to correct the Defect, Flock
shall, or shall instruct one of its contractors to repair or replace the Flock Hardware or Embedded Software suffering
from the Defect. Flock reserves the right in their sole discretion to refuse or delay replacement or its choice of
remedy for a Defect until after it has inspected and tested the affected Unit provided that such inspection and test
shall occur within seventy-two (72) hours after Agency notifies Flock of a known Defect. In the event of a Defect,
Flock will repair or replace the defective Unit at no additional cost. In the event that a Unit is lost, stolen, or
damaged, Agency may request that Flock replace the Unit at a fee according to the then-current Reinstall Policy
(https://www.flocksafety.com/reinstall-fee-schedule). Agency shall not be required to replace subsequently lost,
damaged or stolen Units, however, Agency understands and agrees that functionality, including Footage, will be
materially affected due to such subsequently lost, damaged or stolen Units and that Flock will have no liability to
Agency regarding such affected functionality nor shall the Usage Fee or Implementation Fees owed be impacted.
Flock is under no obligation to replace or repair Hardware.
7.2 Exclusions. Flock will not provide the remedy described in Section 7.1 if Agency is found to have misused the
Flock Hardware, Agency Hardware or Embedded Software in any manner.
7.3 Warranty. Flock shall use reasonable efforts consistent with prevailing industry standards to maintain the
Services in a manner which minimizes errors and interruptions in the Services and shall perform the Installation
Services in a professional and workmanlike manner. Upon completion of any installation or repair, Flock shall clean
and leave the area in good condition. Services may be temporarily unavailable for scheduled maintenance or for
unscheduled emergency maintenance, either by Flock or by third-party providers, or because of other causes beyond
Flock’s reasonable control, but Flock shall use reasonable efforts to provide advance notice in writing or by e-mail
of any scheduled service disruption.
126
7.4 Disclaimer. THE REMEDY DESCRIBED IN SECTION 7.1 ABOVE IS AGENCY ’S SOLE REMEDY, AND
FLOCK’S SOLE LIABILITY, WITH RESPECT TO DEFECTIVE EMBEDDED SOFTWARE. THE FLOCK
DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE; NOR DOES
IT MAKE ANY WARRANTY AS TO THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM USE OF THE
SERVICES. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED
“AS IS” AND FLOCK DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. THIS DISCLAIMER OF SECTION 7.4 ONLY APPLIES TO THE
EXTENT ALLOWED BY THE GOVERNING LAW OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
7.5 Insurance. Throughout the term of this Agreement, Flock (and any sub-consultants) shall, at Flock’s (or sub-
consultant’s) sole cost and expense, furnish the Agency with certificates of insurance evidencing that Flock has
obtained and maintains insurance in the following amounts:
A. Workers’ Compensation that satisfies the minimum statutory limits.
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 contractual liability
coverage.
C. Contractor will not be using an automobile as part of the scope of services; therefore comprehensive automobile
insurance is not required.
D. Professional Liability Insurance in an amount not less than ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000) covering
the licensed professionals’ errors and omissions.
All insurance policies shall be written on an occurrence basis and shall name the Agency Indemnitees as additional
insureds with any Agency insurance shall be secondary and in excess to Flock’s insurance. If Flock’s insurance
policy includes a self-insured retention that must be paid by a named insured as a precondition of the insurer’s
liability, or which has the effect of providing that payments of the self-insured retention by others, including
additional insureds or insurers do not serve to satisfy the self-insured retention, such provisions must be modified by
special endorsement so as to not apply to the additional insured coverage required by this agreement so as to not
prevent any of the parties to this agreement from satisfying or paying the self-insured retention required to be paid as
a precondition to the insurer’s liability. Additionally, the certificates of insurance must note whether the policy does
or does not include any self-insured retention and also must disclose the deductible. The certificates shall contain a
statement of obligation on the part of the carrier to notify Agency of any material change, cancellation, termination
or non-renewal of the coverage at least thirty (30) days in advance of the effective date of any such material change,
cancellation, termination or non-renewal. The Agency’s Risk Manager may waive or modify any of the insurance
requirements of this section. 127
7.6 Compliance with all Applicable Laws; Nondiscrimination. Flock shall comply with all applicable local, state
and federal laws, regulations and ordinances in the performance of this Agreement. Flock shall not discriminate in
the provision of service or in the employment of persons engaged in the performance of this Agreement on account
of race, color, national origin, ancestry, religion, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, age, physical or mental
disability in violation of any applicable local, state or federal laws or regulations.
7.7. Prevailing Wage. Where applicable, the wages to be paid for a day's work to all classes of laborers, 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 Flock or by any subcontractor shall
receive the wages herein provided for. Flock 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 Flock to each worker.
An error on the part of an awarding body does not relieve Flock from responsibility for payment of the prevailing
rate of per diem wages and penalties pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1770-1775. The Agency will not recognize
any claim for additional compensation because of the payment by Flock 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 Flock.
(A) Posting of Schedule of Prevailing Wage Rates and Deductions. If the schedule of prevailing wage rates is not
attached hereto pursuant to Labor Code Section 1773.2, Flock shall post at appropriate conspicuous points at the
site of the project a schedule showing all determined prevailing wage rates for the various classes of laborers
and mechanics to be engaged in work on the project under this contract and all deductions, if any, required by
law to be made from unpaid wages actually earned by the laborers and mechanics so engaged.
7.8. Tax Withholding. [Intentionally Omitted]
7.9 Force Majeure. Flock is not responsible nor liable for any delays or failures in performance from any cause
beyond its control, including, but not limited to acts of God, changes to law or regulations, embargoes, war, terrorist
acts, acts or omissions of third-party technology providers, riots, fires, earthquakes, floods, power blackouts, strikes,
weather conditions or acts of hackers, internet service providers or any other third party or acts or omissions of
Agency or any Authorized End User.
8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; NO FEE TERM; INDEMNITY
8.1 Limitation of Liability. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY,
INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE
128
CONTRARY, FLOCK AND ITS SUPPLIERS (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ALL HARDWARE AND
TECHNOLOGY SUPPLIERS), OFFICERS, AFFILIATES, REPRESENTATIVES, CONTRACTORS AND
EMPLOYEES SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUBJECT MATTER
OF THIS AGREEMENT OR TERMS AND CONDITIONS RELATED THERETO UNDER ANY CONTRACT,
NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR OTHER THEORY: (A) FOR ERROR OR
INTERRUPTION OF USE OR FOR LOSS OR INACCURACY, INCOMPLETENESS OR CORRUPTION OF
DATA OR FOOTAGE OR COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS, SERVICES OR

KNOWLEDGE OR REASONABLE CONTROL INCLUDING REPEAT CRIMINAL ACTIVITY OR
INABILITY TO CAPTURE FOOTAGE OR IDENTIFY AND/OR CORRELATE A LICENSE PLATE WITH
THE FBI DATABASE; (C) FOR ANY PUBLIC DISCLOSURE OF PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
REQUIRED BY LAW MADE IN GOOD FAITH; (D) FOR CRIME PREVENTION; OR (E) FOR ANY
AMOUNTS THAT, TOGETHER WITH AMOUNTS ASSOCIATED WITH ALL OTHER CLAIMS, EXCEED 2x
THE FEES PAID AND/OR PAYABLE BY AGENCY TO FLOCK FOR THE SERVICES UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE ACT OR OMISSION THAT GAVE RISE TO
THE LIABILITY, IN EACH CASE, WHETHER OR NOT FLOCK HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY, AGENCY SHOULD
CONTACT 911 AND SHOULD NOT RELY ON THE SERVICES. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF
SECTION 8 ONLY APPLIES TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY THE GOVERNING LAW OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
8.2 Non-Liability of Officials, Employees and Agents. No officer, official, employee or agent of agency shall be
personally liable to Flock in the event of any default or breach by Agency or for any amount which may become due
to Flock pursuant to this Agreement.
8.3 Additional No-Fee Term Requirements. IN NO EVENT SHALL FLOCK’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY, IF
ANY, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE COMPLIMENTARY NO-FEE TERM AS
DESCRIBED IN SECTION 6.5 EXCEED $100, WITHOUT REGARD TO WHETHER SUCH CLAIM IS BASED
IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE. Parties
acknowledge and agree that the essential purpose of this Section 8.3 is to allocate the risks under the No-Fee Term
described in Section 6.5 and limit potential liability given the aforementioned complimentary service, which would
have been substantially higher if Flock were to assume any further liability other than as set forth herein. Flock has
relied on these limitations in determining whether to provide the complimentary No-Fee Term. The limitations set
forth in this Section 8.3 shall not apply to claims or damages resulting from Flock’s other obligations under this
Agreement.
129
8.4 Responsibility. Each Party to this Agreement shall assume the responsibility and liability for the acts and
omissions of its own employees, deputies, officers, or agents, in connection with the performance of their official

or actions against Flock’s suppliers.

articles, device or appliance manufactured or used in the performance of this Agreement,(3) any gross negligence by
Flock, Flock employees or Flock agents in relation to this Agreement.. Agency hereby agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless Flock against any damages, losses, liabilities, settlements and expenses in connection with any claim or
action that arises from an alleged violation of Section 3.2, Agency’s Installation Obligations, Agency’s sharing of
any data in connection with the Flock system, Flock employees or agent or Non-Agency End Users, or otherwise
from Agency’s negligent use of the Services, Flock Hardware, Agency Hardware and any Embedded Software,
including any claim that such actions violate any applicable law or third party right, unless such claim or action
arises from the negligence or misconduct of Flock, Flock employees or Flock agents. Although Flock has no
obligation to monitor Agency’s use of the Services, Flock may do so and may prohibit any use of the Services it
believes may be (or alleged to be) in violation of Section 3.2 or this Agreement.
9. RECORD RETENTION
9.1 Data Preservation. The Agency agrees to store Agency Data in compliance with all applicable local, state and
federal laws, regulations, policies and ordinances and their associated record retention schedules. As part of
Agency’s consideration for paid access and no-fee access to the Flock System, to the extent that Flock is required by
local, state or federal law to preserve the Agency Data, Flock will notify Agency of the requirement and applicable
retention period, and Agency agrees to preserve and securely store this data on Flock’s behalf so that should Flock
be legally compelled by judicial or government order, Flock may retrieve the data from Agency upon reasonably
advanced written notice.

Agreement, and any such conflicting terms are expressly rejected. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between
the text of the main body of this Agreement and any exhibits or separate documents, the text of the main body of this
Agreement shall prevail.

Implementation Service brief: Standard VS Advanced
Included in scope:
Once Designated Locations are confirmed, as part of the Standard Implementation Service
Flock will perform the following:
• An in-person site survey to confirm the installation feasibility of a location (location
assessment, solar assessment, visibility review, etc.)

Things to Consider when Picking Locations
Falcon Cameras
• Use Cases
• Flock LPRs are designed to capture images of rear license plates aimed in the
direction of traffic.
• Flock LPRs are not designed to capture pedestrians, sidewalks, dumpsters, gates,
other areas of non-vehicle traffic, intersections.
• Placement
• They capture vehicles driving away from an intersection.
• They cannot point into the middle of an intersection.
• They should be placed after the intersection to prevent stop and go motion activation
or “stop and go” traffic.
• Mounting
• They can be mounted on existing utility, light, traffic signal poles, or 12 foot Flock
poles. **NOTE** Permitting (or permission from pole owner) may be required to use
existing infrastructure or install in specific areas, depending on local regulations &
policies.
• They should be mounted one per pole*. If using AC power, they can be mounted 2 per
pole.
• *Cameras need sufficient power. Since a solar panel is required per camera, it can
prevent adequate solar power if two cameras and two solar panels are on a single
pole (blocking visibility). Therefore if relying on solar power, only one camera can
be installed per pole.
• They can be powered with solar panels or direct wire-in AC Power (no outlets). **NOTE**
Flock does not provide Electrical services. Once installed, the agency or community must
work with an electrician to wire the cameras. Electrician services should be completed
within two days of installation to prevent the camera from dying.
• They will require adequate cellular service using AT&T or T-Mobile to be able to process &
send images.
Solar Panels
• Solar panels need unobstructed southern-facing views.
Pole
• If a location requires a “DOT Pole” (i.e., not Flock standard pole), the implementation cost
will be $750/camera.

FAQs about AC-Powered Flock Cameras
• What voltage is supported? The AC kit is designed to work with 120VAC infrastructure
by default. A 240VAC version is available on request.
• How much power does this consume? Peak current draw is 1.5 A at 120VAC. The
average power draw is roughly 30W in high traffic conditions but maybe lower when
fewer vehicles are present.
• Who is responsible for contracting the electrician? The customer is responsible
for contracting an electrician. We can help answer questions, but the customer is
responsible for identifying and contracting an electrician.
• Who is responsible for maintenance? Flock will handle all maintenance related to
Flock’s camera and power equipment. However, any problems with the electrical supply
are the customer’s responsibility. The AC junction box has two lights to indicate the
presence of power and make it easy for quick diagnosis if there is a problem related to
the AC power source.
• If the camera indicates to Flock that there is a power supply problem, Flock will notify
the customer and request that the customer verifies the lights on the AC junction
box. If the AC Source light is illuminated, Flock will send a technician to investigate.
If the AC source light is not illuminated, the customer should check any GFCI’s or
breakers in the supply circuit or call the electrician who installed the power supply.
• How much does it cost? Work required to bring AC power to each location will be
different, so exact pricing is unavailable. Primary cost drivers include arrow boards and
the distance from the camera location to the AC power source.
• What information do I need to provide my electrician? The Flock deployment plan and
these work instructions should be sufficient to secure a quote. It will be helpful if you
know the location of the existing power infrastructure before creating the deployment
plan.
• Can you plug it into my existing power outlet? The Flock AC power adapter does not
use a standard outlet plug but must be directly wired into the power mains. While using
outlet plugs may be convenient, they can easily be unplugged, presenting a tampering
risk to this critical safety infrastructure. The electrician can route power directly to the
camera with a direct wire-in connection if an outlet is close to the camera.
• How long does this process typically take? The installation process typically takes
6-8 weeks. To accelerate the process, be sure to have the electrician perform his work
shortly after the Flock technician finishes installing the camera.
• What kind of electrician should I look for? Any licensed electrician should perform this
work, though we have found that those who advertise working with landscape lighting
are most suited for this work.
• What happens if the electrician damages the equipment? The customer is responsible
for contracting the electrician. Any liability associated with this work would be
assumed by the customer. If any future work is required at this site due to the electrical
infrastructure or the work performed by the electrician would be the responsibility of the
customer.
13146
CUSTOMER IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE 36
• When should the electrician perform his work? Once Flock installs the camera, you will
receive an email alert letting you know that this has been completed. After this, you will
need to schedule the electrician to route power to the pole.
• What if my electrician has questions about Flock’s AC Kit? You should share the
AC-Power Kit Details packet with the electrician if they have questions.
• What if the AC power is on a timer? Sometimes the AC power will be on a timer (like
used for exterior lighting). Flock requires that the AC power provided to the camera be
constant. The source that the electrician uses must not be on a timing circuit.

CUSTOMER IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE 38
Permitting: Pre-Install Questionnaire
1. Timeline
• In Flock Safety’s experience, in-depth permitting requirements can add 2+ months
to the installation timeline. Law enforcement agencies and city governments can
work with their local Public Works or Department of Transportation offices directly
to help expedite the process. When Flock Safety customers manage the permitting
processes, results tend to come more quickly.
• Can your agency own the permitting process with Flock Safety’s assistance?
2. Right of Way
• Will any Flock Safety cameras be installed on the city, state, or power company-owned
poles or in the city, county, or state Right of Way (RoW)?
• What is the RoW buffer?
• Will additional permits or written permission be required from third-party entities
(such as DOT, power companies, public works, etc.)?
• Will any cameras be installed on city-owned traffic signal poles (vertical mass)?
• If yes, please provide heights/photos to determine if a bucket truck is needed for
the installation.
• Note: A bucket truck is required if the height exceeds 15 feet tall.
3. AC Power vs. Solar
• If AC powered, is there a 120V power source available, and is there access to an
electrician who can connect the existing wire to the Flock Safety powered installation
kit? (Link)
• If solar-powered, consider the size of the solar panel and potential to impact the
visibility of DOT signs/signals:
• Single Panel: 21.25” x 14” x 2” (Length x Width x Depth)
• Double Panel: 21.25” x 28” x 2” (LxWxD)
4. Traffic Control & Installation Methods
• If a bucket truck is required, this typically necessitates an entire lane to be blocked
in the direction of travel. Can you provide a patrol car escort, or will full traffic
control be required?
• Note: If traffic control is required, you may incur additional costs due to city/state
requirements; Fees will be determined by quotes received.
• If full traffic control is required (cones, arrow boards, etc.):
• Will standard plans suffice, or are custom plans needed? Custom plans can double
the cost, while standard plans can be pulled from the Manual of Uniform Traffic
Control Devices (MUTCD).
• Will a non-sealed copy of the traffic plan suffice? Or does the traffic plan need to
be sealed and/or submitted by a professional engineer?
• Are there state-specific special versions/variances that must be followed?
16149
CUSTOMER IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE 39
• If a bucket truck is not required, the shoulder or sidewalk should suffice and enable
Flock Safety to proceed without traffic control systems in place.
• Note: In some states (i.e., arrow boards), sidewalks may require signage. If signage
is mandatory, Will your Public Works department be able to assist?
5. Paperwork & Required Forms
• Flock Safety will need copies of paperwork to complete before proceeding (ex.,
business license applications, encroachment permit applications). We can save
critical time by gathering these documents upfront. We appreciate your assistance in
procuring these.
6. Contacts
• If Flock Safety needs to interface directly with the departments, please share the
contact information of the following departments:
• Permitting
• Public Works
• Traffic Department

Report regarding adoption of a resolution awarding a construction contract to CF Contracting,Inc.for the
Grand Avenue and Airport Boulevard Streetscape Improvements Project (No.st1801,Bid No.2657)in an
amount not to exceed $3,188,285,authorizing a total construction contract authority budget of $3,825,942.
(Jeffrey Chou, Associate Civil Engineer)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution awarding a construction contract to CF
Contracting,Inc.of San Francisco,California for Grand Avenue and Airport Boulevard Streetscape
Improvements Project (No.st1801,Bid No.2657)in an amount not to exceed $3,188,285,authorizing a
total construction contract authority budget of $3,825,942,and authorizing the City Manager to execute
the agreement on behalf of the City.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Grand Avenue and Airport Boulevard Streetscape Improvements Project (Project)is part of a larger effort
undertaken by the City to improve pedestrian and bicycle accessibility and safety for neighborhoods within the
project's vicinity and the City’s downtown area.
The Project will construct pedestrian and bicycle improvements that will close the gap between the West Plaza
of the new South San Francisco Caltrain station and the pedestrian and bicycle connections in the City’s
downtown areas.
At the intersection of Grand Avenue and Airport Boulevard,the project will improve pedestrian and bicyclist
safety by:
·Removing the concrete islands and “slip lane”and eliminating a free right turn movement at the
southeast corner, which will require a “stop-on- red” before allowing vehicle to turn right;
·Installing curb extensions and ADA curb ramps at the southwest and southeast corners,which will
shorten the crossing distance for pedestrians and improve the visibility of pedestrians and vehicles; and
·Replacing the existing standard crosswalk at the southern leg with high visibility striping and duo
pedestrian and bicycle crosswalks.
Along Airport Boulevard,the project will install dedicated Class II bike lanes in both directions from the
Airport Boulevard &Miller Avenue intersection and connecting to the existing bike lane along eastbound
Airport Boulevard.
The project will close a significant gap in the City’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan,will improve safety
for all users through a combination of off-street bicycle and pedestrian paths,and intersection,traffic signal and
on road bicycle lanes improvements.
Overview of City’s Procurement Process
The City’s procurement process is governed by both state and local law.State law requires contracts for

powered by Legistar™154
File #:22-29 Agenda Date:5/25/2022
Version:1 Item #:10.
The City’s procurement process is governed by both state and local law.State law requires contracts for
construction to be competitively bid pursuant to a set of specific,established rules.In particular,the City is
required to award construction contracts to the “lowest responsible bidder”after providing notice in
accordance with law. (Pub. Contract Code §§ 20162, 20164.)
However,in awarding contracts for the purchase of professional services,equipment and supplies,the City has
some latitude.State law requires the City to adopt regulations and policies to govern such service and supplies
procurement,but otherwise provides the City flexibility in determining relevant requirements as long as they
are consistent with applicable state law.(Gov.Code §54202.)Chapter 4.04 of the Municipal Code and the
City’s Purchasing Procedures (Administrative Instruction Section IV,No.1)govern the City’s purchasing
policies and contract procurement processes.
The City’s purchasing ordinance distinguishes between three primary types of procurement methods as follows:
1.Competitive Bidding for Construction Projects
Public projects are specifically defined under the Public Contract Code,and generally involve any
construction project that is paid with public funds or those projects involving improvements,
demolition or other work on public property or facility.Public projects are required to be procured
through competitive bidding and the City must award the contract to the lowest bidder whose bid
complies with all of the City’s solicitation requirements and demonstrates that the bidder is able to
perform the work.Under the City’s policy,different levels of competitive bidding are required
depending on the dollar limit of the underlying project.
For these contracts,cost is generally the sole determining factor,and the lowest responsible bidder is
awarded the project even if another bidder appears to be more skilled but is more expensive.
2.Open Market Procedures for Vendors (Supplies and Equipment)
Open Market Procedures is the City’s vendor selection process for purchase of goods,supplies,and
professional services.These rules do not apply to,and may not be used for,public construction
projects.
Contracts for the purchase of goods and services that exceed $10,000 requires staff to utilize open
market procedures.If the contract is $25,000 or less,staff must obtain at least three quotes,which are
informal offers to perform work at a stated price.If the contract is greater than $25,000,staff will be
required to solicit the project,such as issuing a Request for Proposals (“RFPs”)and obtain at least
three written responses.
Under this vendor selection process,cost can be only one factor in determining which vendor the
City will ultimately select for services,equipment,or supplies.This requirement is similarly reflected
under SSFMC § 4.04.080.
Thus,when utilizing the open market vendor selection process,the City is focused on the skill,
ability,and expertise of the entity or person to be able to provide the service,equipment,or goods to
the City.The selection is based on competence,professional qualifications,and overall value to the
City with cost being only one factor in the determination of an award.
Federally Funded Procurements for Vendors (Supplies and Equipment)

File #:22-29 Agenda Date:5/25/2022
Version:1 Item #:10.
Contracts that receive federal funding are required to incorporate and comply with additional terms
and conditions.The City’s Purchasing Procedures also provide guidance on procuring supplies and
equipment contracts that are federally funded.Federally funded procurements also require a written
procedure for conducting evaluations and for selecting recipients and awarding the contract to the
responsible firm whose proposal is most advantageous to the City with price being only one factor.It
is also important to note that federally funded procurements do not include state or local geographical
preferences unless specifically authorized by federal law.Each evaluation is a non-discrimination and
equal opportunity for all vendors.
3.Open Market Procedures for Architectural and Engineering (A&E) Professional Services
For certain professional services such as architectural,engineering,environmental,land surveying,or
construction project management,the Government Code also specifically requires that such services
not be awarded solely based on price,but instead based on demonstrated competence.(Gov.Code §
4526.)Both the state law provision and the City’s policy reflect the legislative view that when
acquiring such services,the City does not necessarily receive the best value when it pays the lowest
price. (See e.g., California Attorney General Op. No. 94-819 (February 9, 1995)).

The bid provided to the City by CF signifies that the contractor would not be able to successfully
perform its duties on the above project, while fulfilling its obligations with the Rules and
Regulations Governing the Payment of Prevailing Wages, at the bid amount provided due to the
following:
•ONGOING VIOLATIONS OF PREVAILING WAGE LAWS RESULTING IN WAGE
THEFT
CF has numerous infractions/violations which have resulted in willful circumvention of
the Laws and Regulations Governing the Payment of Prevailing Wages, including, but
not limited to, violations resulting in wage theft and non-compliance with apprenticeship
laws. CF engaged in this pattern of unlawful activity on various public works prevailing
wage projects. Civil Wage and Penalty Assessments have been issued to CF by the
State of California, Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE), Labor
Commissioner’s office. We have provided supporting documentation for your review.
Furthermore, CF is currently under investigation by our offices and the State of
California, Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE), Labor Commissioner’s
office in connection with issues provided below. We have provided supporting
documentation for your review.
▪Misclassifications resulting in underpayments.
▪Failure to comply with overtime requirements.
▪Failure to comply with apprenticeship requirements.

• FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AND FORMAL
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS
CF has not made a good faith effort to participate and invest in Local Workforce
Development, nor have they participated in local hiring of workers in the community
through formal and recognized pre-apprenticeship programs and formal apprenticeship
programs for specific apprenticeable crafts. They have failed to request, employ, train,
and pay the proper prevailing wages to apprentices.
• FAILURE TO PROVIDE REQUIRED APPRENTICESHIP TRAINING FUND
CONTRIBUTIONS
CF has failed to comply with the requirements set forth in Labor Code § 1777.5(m)(1) by
omitting payments to either the California Apprenticeship Council or a state approved
apprenticeship program. We have provided supporting documentation for your review.
Please contact our office with questions, comments, or clarifications.

Re: Grand Avenue and Airport Blvd Streetscape Improvement Project
PROJECT NO. ST1801, BID NO. 2671
RESPONSE TO MAY 17 LETTER
Dear Mr. Chou:
We represent CF Contracting (CFC) related to this matter. As you know, CFC
was the lowest responsive bidder, and the City of South San Francisco was intending to
award the Project to CF Contracting next week. There were no bid protests within the
allotted time allowed by the specifications, and therefore the City should ignore the
allegations made by the letter received from The Foundation for Fair Contracting (FFC), and
award the contract to CFC as the lowest responsive, responsible bidder.
I.ARGUMENT
According to its own specifications, the City must award this project to the
lowest responsive, responsible bidder. Notice Inviting Bids; #5 (Bids will be publicly
opened, examined, and declared in accordance with item 1, and thereafter referred to the City
Council for award, at a regular scheduled meeting, to the lowest responsive and
responsible bidder, based on the Total Base Bid Price.”)(emphasis added). There is no
question that CFC’s bid was responsive; thus, the only question before the City is whether
CFC is a responsible contractor – whether it can “perform the contract as promised.” Taylor
Bus Service, Inc. v. San Diego Bd. of Education (1987) 195 Cal.App.3d 1331, 1341. FFC
makes baseless allegations without any documentary support – because mere allegations
without evidence are impossible to rebut, the City should ignore the baseless claims. If the
City has any doubt that CFC is a responsible contractor, I request that CFC be allowed to
present evidence of its responsibility and to rebut any claims on which the City is relying.

545337.1
A Professional Law Corporation
FFC only provides documentation for three specific allegations – these are the
only allegations to which CFC can directly respond. A review of the documents shows that
none of these would cause any doubt that CFC can perform the contract as promised. As
requested, I provide details on these allegations below.
A. The March 2022 Case Assignment Letter
FFC attaches a “case assignment letter” from March 2022 related to a project
in Sausalito. This is the first that CFC has heard of any investigation (possibly because the
investigator has found no merit to the allegations), and believes it appropriately paid all
workers on that project. Curiously, FFC does not provide the underlying allegations; only a
document stating that as of two months ago, an investigation is ongoing. CFC is confident
that workers were paid correctly on the Sausalito project, and will respond to the
investigation if the labor commissioner investigator believes the allegations rise to the level
of requiring a response from CFC. This is no basis to believe that CFC will not complete the
City’s project as expected.
B. Penalty Assessment from February 2021
In 2020, due to a minor oversight, CFC failed to update the wages of certain
employees on a single project. Upon becoming aware of the issue, CFC quickly paid both
the back wages and the penalty. Note that in the decades of public work that CFC has
completed, this is the only reference that FFC could find claiming that CFC failed to pay
correct wages. This one error that was rectified upon notice is no basis to deny CFC a
finding of responsibility.
C. Alleged Failure to Pay Apprenticeship Fees
Contrary to FFC’s claims, CFC is connected with a certified apprenticeship
program through the Association of Building Contractors and the Operating Engineer’s trust
fund. CFC, therefore, does not pay apprenticeship fees to the California Apprenticeship
Council directly. Thus, FFC’s letter from the California Apprenticeship Council provides no
evidence that CFC is not responsible; CFC’s fees are required to go to a different
organization per Cal. Lab. Code § 1777.5(m) (payments can be made to the California
Apprenticeship Council or an “approved apprenticeship program”). None of this bears any
weight on whether CFC can complete the work of the project as promised.

II. CONCLUSION
FFC’s letter is untimely, it makes unsupported allegations, and it relies on
documents which do not support its position. The City is therefore left with its original
position: CFC is a responsive, responsible bidder, and the City should award the project.
Argonaut Insurance Company agrees, and has provided a performance bond for the work and
a payment bond for subcontractors. I trust that the City will award the project to CFC and
receive a successful project as required by the specifications and the law.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Very truly yours,

documents. The documents comprising the complete contract will hereinafter be referred to as “the
Contract Documents.”
3. Equipment - Performance of Work. Contractor shall furnish all tools, equipment,
apparatus, facilities, labor, and materials necessary to perform and complete in a good and workmanlike
manner the Work of general construction as called for, and for the manner designated in, and in strict
conformity with, the plans and specifications for said Work entitled:
GRAND AVENUE AND AIRPORT BLVD STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
PROJECT NO.ST1801; BID NO. 2671
The equipment, apparatus, facilities, labor, and materials shall be furnished and said Work
performed and completed as required in said plans and specifications under the direction and supervision
and subject to the approval of the Engineer of said City or the Engineer’s designated assistant.
4. Contract Price. City shall pay, and Contractor shall accept, in full payment for the Work
agreed to be done the sum of THREE MILLION ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY-EIGHT THOUSAND
TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY-FIVE DOLLARS ($3,188,285). Said price is determined by the lump
sum price contained in Contractor's bid proposal (“Bid”). The lump sum price and unit prices are set

the specifications herein, such work and materials will be paid for at the unit prices therein contained.
Said amount shall be paid in installments as hereinafter provided.
5. Rights of City to Increase Working Days. If such Work is not completed within the time
specified, the Engineer shall have the right to increase the number of working days in the amount it may
determine will best serve the interest of the City. If it desires to increase said number of working days, it
shall have the further right to charge to Contractor and deduct from the final payment for the Work the
actual cost of engineering, inspection, superintendence, and other overhead expenses which are directly
chargeable to Contractor and which accrue during the period of such extension, except that the cost of the
final service and preparation of the final estimates shall not be included in such charges, provided,
however, that no extension of time for the completion of such Work shall be allowed unless at least
twenty (20) calendar days prior to the time herein fixed for the completion thereof or the time fixed by the
Engineer for such completion as extended, Contractor shall have filed application for extension thereof, in
writing with the Engineer.
188
Page A-3 of 9
6. Option of City to Terminate Agreement in Event of Failure to Complete Work. If at any
time in the opinion of the Engineer, the Contractor has refused or failed to prosecute the Work or any
severable part thereof, with such diligence as will insure its work, or any completion within the time
specified, or any extensions thereof, or shall have failed to complete said work within such time, or if
Contractor should be adjudged a bankrupt, or if Contractor should make a general assignment for the
benefit of Contractor's creditors, or if a receiver should be appointed in the event of Contractor's
insolvency, or if Contractor, or any Subcontractor, should violate any of the provisions of this Agreement,
the Engineer may give written notice to Contractor, and Contractor's sureties of its intention to terminate
this Agreement, such notice to contain the reasons for such intention to terminate this Agreement, and
unless within five calendar (5) days after the serving of such notice, such violation shall cease and
satisfactory arrangements for the correction thereof be made, this Agreement may, at the option of City,
upon expiration of said time, cease and terminate. Any excess of cost arising therefrom over and above
the contract price will be charged against the Contractor and the Contractor’s sureties who will be liable
therefore. In the event of such termination, all money due the Contractor or retained under the terms of
this contract shall be forfeited to the City; but such forfeiture will not release the Contractor or the
Contractor’s sureties from liability or failure to fulfill the contract. The Contractor and the Contractor’s
sureties will be credited with the amount of money so forfeited toward any excess of cost over and above
the contract price, arising from the suspension termination of the operations of the contract and the
completion of the Work by the City as above provided, and the Contractor will be so credited with any
surplus remaining after all just claims for such completion have been paid.
In the determination of the question whether there has been any such noncompliance with the
contract as to warrant the suspension termination or annulment thereof, the decision of the Engineer shall
be binding on all parties to the contract.
7. Termination of Contract for Convenience. The City also reserves the right to terminate
the contract at any time upon a determination by the Engineer in the Engineer's sole discretion that
termination of the contract is in the best interest of the City. If the City elects to terminate the contract for
convenience, the termination of the contract and the total compensation payable to the Contractor shall be
governed by the following:
(A) The City will issue the Contractor a written notice signed by the Engineer,
specifying that the contract is terminated. Upon receipt of said written notice, the Contractor will be
relieved of further responsibility for damage to the Work (excluding materials) as specified in Section
VII-17, "Contractor's Responsibility for the Work," of the General Conditions and, except as otherwise
directed in writing by the Engineer, the Contractor shall:
(1) Stop all work under the contract except that specifically directed to be completed prior to
acceptance.
(2) Perform work the Engineer deems necessary to secure the project for termination.
(3) Remove equipment and plant from the site of the Work.
(4) Take such action as is necessary to protect materials from damage.
(5) Notify all subcontractors and suppliers that the contract is being terminated and that their
contracts or orders are not to be further performed unless otherwise authorized in writing by the
Engineer.
189
Page A-4 of 9
(6) Provide the Engineer with an inventory list of all materials previously produced,
purchased or ordered from suppliers for use in the Work and not yet used in the Work, including
its storage location, and such other information as the Engineer may request.
(7) Dispose of materials not yet used in the Work as directed by the Engineer. It shall be the
Contractor's responsibility to provide the City with good title to all materials purchased by the
City hereunder, including materials for which partial payment has been made as provided in
Section IX-2, “Progress Payments,” of the General Conditions and with bills of sale or other
documents of title for such materials.
(8) Subject to the prior written approval of the Engineer, settle all outstanding liabilities and
all claims arising out of subcontracts or orders for materials terminated hereunder. To the extent
directed by the Engineer, the Contractor shall assign to the City all the right, title, and interest of
the Contractor under subcontracts or orders for materials terminated hereunder.
(9) Furnish the Engineer with the documentation required to be furnished by the Contractor
under the provisions of the contract, including, on projects as to which Federal and State funds
are involved, all documentation required under the Federal and State requirements included in the
contract.
(10) Take such other actions as the Engineer may direct.
(B) Acceptance of the contract as hereinafter specified shall not relieve the
Contractor of responsibility for damage to materials. The Contractor shall continue to be responsible for
damage to materials after issuance of the Notice of Termination, except as follows:
(1) The Contractor’s responsibility for damage to materials for which partial payment has
been made as provided in Section IX-2, “Progress Payments,” of the General Conditions and for
materials furnished by the City for use in the Work and unused shall terminate when the Engineer
certifies that such materials have been stored in the manner and at the locations the Engineer has
directed.
(2) The Contractor’s responsibility for damage to materials purchased by the City subsequent
to the issuance of the notice that the contract is to be terminated shall terminate when title and
delivery of such materials has been taken by the City.
(3) When the Engineer determines that the Contractor has completed the Work under the
contract directed to be completed prior to termination and such other work as may have been
ordered to secure the project for termination, the Contractor will recommend that the Engineer
formally accept the contract to the extent performed, and immediately upon and after such
acceptance by the Engineer, the Contractor will not be required to perform any further Work
thereon and shall be relieved of the Contractor's contractual responsibilities for injury to persons
or property which occurs after the formal acceptance of the project by the Engineer.
(C) Termination of the contract shall not relieve the surety of its obligation for any
just claims arising out of the work performed.
(D) The total compensation to be paid to the Contractor shall be determined by the
Engineer on the basis of the following:
190
Page A-5 of 9
(1) The reasonable cost to the Contractor, without profit, for all work performed under the
contract, including mobilization, demobilization and work done to secure the project for
termination. In determining the reasonable cost, deductions will be made for the cost of materials
to be retained by the Contractor, amounts realized by the sale of materials, and for other
appropriate credits against the cost of the work. When, in the opinion of the Engineer, the cost of
a contract item of work is excessively high due to costs incurred to remedy or replace defective or
rejected work, the reasonable cost to be allowed will be the estimated reasonable cost of
performing such work in compliance with the requirements of the plans and specifications and the
excessive actual cost shall be disallowed.
(2) A reasonable allowance for profit on the cost of the work performed as determined under
Subsection (1), provided the Contractor establishes to the satisfaction of the Engineer that it is
reasonably probable that the Contractor would have made a profit had the contract been
completed and provided further, that the profit allowed shall in no event exceed four (4) percent
of said cost.
(3) The reasonable cost to the Contractor of handling material returned to the vendor,
delivered to the City, or otherwise disposed of as directed by the Engineer.
(4) A reasonable allowance for the Contractor’s administrative costs in determining the
amount payable due to termination of the contract.
(5) A reasonable credit to the City for defective or incomplete work not corrected.
All records of the Contractor and subcontractors necessary to determine compensation in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 5 shall be open to inspection or audit by representatives of
the City at all times after issuance of the Notice of Termination and for a period of three (3) years,
thereafter, and such records shall be retained for that period.
After acceptance of the Work by the Engineer, the Engineer may make payments on the basis of
interim estimates pending issuance of the Final Estimate in accordance with Section IX-7, “Final
Payment,” of the General Conditions when, in the Engineer's opinion, the amount thus paid, together with
all amounts previously paid or allowed, will not result in total compensation in excess of that to which the
Contractor will be entitled. All payments, including payment upon the Final Estimate shall be subject to
deduction for prior payments and amounts, if any, to be kept or retained under the provisions of the
contract.
If this contract is terminated by the City for cause, and it is later determined that the proper basis
for a termination for cause did not exist, the termination shall be deemed to have been a termination for
convenience and governed by the terms of this contract dealing with such termination.
If the contract is terminated by the City for cause or convenience, such termination shall neither
act as a waiver by the City of its right to require the Contractor to correct defects in the Work performed
by the Contractor nor void any warranties applicable to the Work performed under the contract.
The provisions of this Section 5 shall be included in all subcontracts.
In the event of conflict between the termination provisions of this Section 8 and any other
provision or the contract, this Section 5 shall prevail.
191
Page A-6 of 9
8. Performance by Sureties. In the event of any termination as herein before provided, City
shall immediately give written notice thereof to Contractor and Contractor's sureties and the sureties shall
have the right to take over and perform the Agreement, provided, however, that if the sureties, within five
(5) working days after giving them said notice of termination, do not give the City written notice of their
intention to take over the performance of the Agreement and do not commence performance thereof
within five (5) working days after notice to the City of such election, City may take over the Work and
prosecute the same to completion by contract or by any other method it may deem advisable, for the
account, and at the expense, of Contractor, and the sureties shall be liable to City for any excess cost or
damages occasioned City thereby; and, in such event, City may, without liability for so doing, take
possession of and utilize in completing the Work such materials, appliances, plant, and other property
belonging to Contractor as may be on the site of the Work and necessary therefore. Should Contractor
contract in an individual capacity, the surety bond shall contain the following provision: “Should
Contractor contract in the Contractor’s individual capacity, the death of the Contractor shall not relieve
the surety of its obligations.”
9. Hold-Harmless Agreement and Contractor's Insurance. Contractor agrees to, and shall,
hold City, its elective and appointive boards, officers, agents, and employees harmless from any liability
for damage or claims for damage for personal injury, including death, as well as from claims for property
damage which may arise from Contractor's or any of Subcontractor's operations under this Agreement,
whether such operations be by Contractor or by any Subcontractor or Subcontractors, or by any one or
more persons directly or indirectly employed by, or acting as agent for, Contractor or any Subcontractor
or Subcontractors. Contractor agrees to, and shall, defend City and its elective and appointive boards,
officers, agents, and employees from any suits or actions at law or in equity for damages caused, or
alleged to have been caused, by reason of any of the aforesaid operations, provided as follows:
(A) The City does not, and shall not, waive any rights against Contractor which it may have
by reason of the aforesaid hold-harmless agreement, because of the acceptance by City, or the
deposit with City by Contractor, of any of the insurance policies hereinafter described in
Paragraph 15, “Insurance” hereof.
(B) That the aforesaid hold-harmless agreement by Contractor shall apply to all damages and
claims for damages of every kind suffered, or alleged to have been suffered, by reason of any of
the aforesaid operations of Contractor or any Subcontractor, regardless of whether or not such
insurance policies shall have been determined to be applicable to any of such damages or claims
for damages.
10. Insurance. The Contractor shall take out and maintain during the life of this Agreement
the following policies of insurance:
(A) Workers' Compensation and Employers' Liability Insurance providing full
statutory coverage.
In signing this Agreement, the Contractor makes the following certification, required by
Section 1861 of the California Labor Code:
"I am aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the California Labor Code which
require every employer to be insured against liability for Workers' Compensation
or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that Code, and
I will comply with such provisions before commencing the performance of the
work of this contract".

be extended to include as additional insured the City of South San Francisco, its elective and appointive
boards, commissions, officers, agents, employees, with respect to operations performed by the Contractor,
as described herein. Evidence of this insurance described above shall be provided to City upon execution
of this Agreement and shall be subject to approval of the City Attorney as to form, amount, and carrier.
The policy of insurance shall also contain a provision indicating that such insurance shall not be reduced
or cancelled except upon thirty (30) calendar days written notice to City. In addition, the following
endorsement shall be made on said policy of insurance:
"The following are named as additional insured on the above policies: The City of South
San Francisco, its elective and appointive boards, officers, agents, and employees."
"Notwithstanding any other provision in this policy, the insurance afforded hereunder to
the City of South San Francisco shall be primary as to any other insurance or re-insurance
covering or available to the City of South San Francisco, and such other insurance or
reinsurance shall not be required to contribute to any liability or loss until and unless the
approximate limit of liability afforded hereunder is exhausted."
The above requirements that the City be named as additional insured, that the insurance
shall be primary to any other, and that the insurance not be cancelled without notice, shall be provided in
the form of an endorsement signed by an authorized representative of the insurance company providing

of any policy during the effective period of this contract. Further, if the Contractor’s insurance policy
includes a self-insured retention that must be paid by a named insured as a precondition of the insurer’s
liability, or which has the effect of providing that payments of the self-insured retention by others,
including additional insureds or insurers do not serve to satisfy the self-insured retention, such provisions
must be modified by special endorsement so as to not apply to the additional insured coverage required by
this agreement so as to not prevent any of the parties to this agreement from satisfying or paying the self-
insured retention required to be paid as a precondition to the insurer’s liability. Additionally, the
certificates of insurance must note whether the policy does or does not include any self-insured retention
and also must disclose the deductible.
12. Provisions Cumulative. The provisions of this Agreement are cumulative, and in addition
to and not in limitation of, any other rights or remedies available to City.
