Assisti Kanager SUBJECT: Request by TCI to Amend Cable TV Transfer Agreement to Allow up to Four Years to Rebuild Sunland Park Area ecommended Motionfs It is recommended that Council approve the amendment to Cable TV Transfer Agreement to allow up to four years to rebuild the Sunland Park Area and authorize the Mayor to execute the Amendment on behalf of the City. Report Summary; Council took action at the meeting of February 21, 1996 to approve a transfer agreement between the City of Saratoga, Southbay Cable (Brenmore Cable Partners, L.P.) and TCI Cablevision of California, Inc. Paragraph 14 of the agreement specifically addresses concerns the City had with respect to the provision of cable to the Sunland Park area of the City. Specifically Section 14 of the agreement requires TCI to either submit a plan for extension of the Saratoga system in the area, or apply for an amendment to the transfer agreement which would eliminate the obligation of GRANTEE to extend services to the Sunland Park area and which shall approve a franchise for the provision of services to the Sunland Park area by the San Jose system. The City Manager and the Counsel for TCI met recently regarding this issue. Attachment I to this report is a letter summarizing TCI's intent to apply for an amendment to the transfer agreement. In the letter TCI explains that after looking into the possibility of service extension to that area, they have found it to be economically impractical to do so. Were they to pursue a service extension, it would require that present facilities which form a part of the San Jose system be dismantled and a new system constructed. The area in question is comprised of 168 homes, 90 of which are presently customers of the San Jose system. They make a case that the rates and programming delivered to the Sunland Park area by the San Jose system are "substantially equivalent to the services and rates provided throughout Saratoga." They further attest that construction costs would be substantial and would "greatly outweigh any marginal benefits which would be achieved by extending the Saratoga system." The City's concern about system compatibility has had to do with the residents' ability to access P.E.G. programming- public, education and government access programming. Such programming originates in the City of Saratoga's system. TCI informs us that to provide Saratoga P.E.G. programming through the San Jose system would require the delivery of the programming from the origination sites in Saratoga to the San Jose headend and the dedication of channel capacity on the San Jose system solely for delivery of the programs to the 90 Sunland Park customers. Amendment to CATV Transfer Agreement Page2 They further state that dedication of complete channel capacity for this number of customers is not practical for the company. In addition, the San Jose system doesn't have the channel capacity available for this use. TCI desires to exercise the option of amending the Transfer Agreement to allow TCI to provide services to the Sunland Park area via the Saratoga system at the same time it completes a rebuild of the San Jose system. They inform us that a rebuild is likely to occur within the next three to four years. TCI states that they are prepared to agree with the City that services will be extended to the Sunland Park area whether or not a rebuild of the San Jose system proceeds by a date certain; specifically, four years from the date of the proposed amendment. Paragraph 14 of the Transfer Agreement also states that: In any event, commencing on April 1, 1996, BRENMORE (prior to the close of the transfer) and GRANTEE subsequent to the close of the transaction) shall pay to the CITY an amount equal to the franchise fee which would be payable under the terms and conditions of this FRANCHISE for any revenue derived by the San Jose system for services within Sunland Park. To that end, TCI has stated that in the interim, that the calculation of franchise fees payable to the City of Saratoga shall include revenues from cable services delivered to the Sunland Park residents by the San Jose system. Attachment II to this report is the proposed amendment to the CATV Franchise Transfer Agreement which would amend Paragraph 14 of the Transfer Agreement which will do the following: 1. Require TCI to extend services to the Sunland Park area on the earlier of two dates: at the time that TCI completes a rebuild of the cable facilities in the immediately adjacent San Jose City system, or four years from the date of this Amendment; 2. Effective April 1, 1996 and through the term of the franchise, TCI will pay to the City an amount equal to the Franchise fee which would have been payable under the terms and conditions of the Franchise on any revenue derived by the San Jose system owned by TCI for Cable services to Sunland Park residents. Staff recommends that Council approve the attached amendment to the February 27, 1996 CATV Transfer Agreement covering these issues. Fiscal. Impacts: The City of Saratoga will receive an increase in the cable franchise fees based on the number of affected residents in the area, approximately 90, and the level of service for each of those residents. Advertising, Noticing and Public Contact: Amendment to CATV Transfer Agreement Page3 Posting of the agenda. A copy of the report has been sent to TCI. Consesxuences of Not Acting on the Recommended Motions-, The issue of cable service to Sunland Park residents would be unresolved. In addition, we would fail to realize the revenues resulting from the franchise fees owed the City from.the residents in the Sunland Park area. Follow W Actions: Staff will forward a co that the City wishes t monthly schedule as is for the first six months of the amendment to the affected neighborhood installation of service Attachments: py of the signed agreement to TCI and alert TCI o receive the franchise fees owed on the same currently the practice,.with the first payment payable to the City within 30 days of signature Transfer Agreement. Staff will also alert the association as to the four year plan for to their area originating in Saratoga. I. Letter from Richard R. Patch, Counsel to TCI II.

HUTTON SPECIAL COUNSEL JEFFREY B. MASO TEVIS JACOBS 11 906 -1 9 7 41 WILLIAM F, MCCABE 11939 -19831 ADMITTED IN PENSYLVANIA ONLY I am writing to follow up on our recent meeting concerning the provisions of paragraph 14 of the CATV Franchise Transfer Agreement ( "Transfer Agreement ") dated February 27, 1996 defined between the City of Saratoga and TCI of Cleveland, Inc. ( "TCI" ). Paragraph 14 of the Transfer Agreement addresses the area of Saratoga commonly known as Sunland Park which is located adjacent to and east of Quito Road. The Sunland Park area is not presently served by the Saratoga system but, instead, is served by the system, also owned by TCI, in the City of San Jose. In accordance with the provisions of paragraph 14, this shall constitute TCI's formal application for an amendment to the Transfer Agreement. TCI has thoroughly investigated the issues surrounding Sunland Park and has confirmed that it is economically impractical to extend the Saratoga system to the Sunland Park. The service extension would require that the present facilities which form a part of the San Jose system be dismantled, and a new system constructed. The area is comprised of 168 homes of which approximately 90 are presently customers of the San Jose system. Given that rates and programming delivered to the Sunland Park area by the San Jose system are substantially equivalent to the services and rates provided throughout Saratoga, we request your concurrence, at least in the short term, that the substantial construction costs greatly outweigh any marginal benefits which would be achieved by extending the Saratoga system. We are also keenly aware, however, of the City's desire that the Sunland Park residents receive the benefit of P.E.G. programming which originates on the Saratoga system. At the present time, delivery of such programming is technically impossible. To provide Saratoga P.E.G. programming via the San Jose system would require the delivery of the programming from the origination sites in Saratoga to the San Jose headend and the dedication of channel COBLENTZ. CAHEN, McCABE & BREYER, LLP Harry R. Peacock September 27, 1996 Page 2 capacity on the San Jose system solely for delivery of these programs to the 90 Sunland Park customers. Dedication of complete channel capacity for such a limited number of customers is impractical. In any event, the San Jose system does not have channel capacity available for this use. In light of the foregoing, we solicit the City's favorable consideration of our request that paragraph 14 of the Transfer Agreement be amended to allow TCI to provide services to the Sunland Park area via the Saratoga system at the same time it completes a rebuild of the San Jose system. A rebuild is likely to occur within the next three to four years. In addition, TCI is prepared to agree with the City that services will be extended to the Sunland Park area whether or not a rebuild of the San Jose system proceeds by a date certain; specifically, four years from the date of the proposed amendment. Finally, in the interim, TCI confirms that the calculation of franchise fees payable to the City of Saratoga shall include revenues received from cable services delivered to the Sunland Park residents by the San Jose system. I've taken the liberty of preparing a proposed amendment to the CATV Franchise Transfer Agreement reflecting these terms, a copy of which is enclosed for your review. Please advise me if the form of the proposed amendment is acceptable and the schedule for presenting the amendment for City Council review and approval.

Itr SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL F F EXECUTIVE SUMMARY NO. a� 1 ^� AGENDA ITEM MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 6, 1996 CITY MGR.: ORIGINATING DEPT.: PUBLIC WORKS DEPT. HEAD: SUBJECT: Recommendation from the Public Safety Commission to perform a Traffic Calming Study for Baylor Avenue Recommended Motion(s): Move to accept the proposal from CCS Planning & Engineering, Inc. to perform a Traffic Calming Study for Baylor Avenue for a not to exceed amount of $4,000. Report Summ At their October 21 meeting, the Public Safety Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the City Council accept the attached proposal from CCS Planning & Engineering, Inc. to perform a Traffic Calming Study for Baylor Avenue. The study would cost not more than $4,000 and would identify and evaluate up to three alternative schemes for alleviating primarily speeding, and to a lesser degree cut through traffic, on Baylor Avenue. The study would be spearheaded by the residents of Baylor Avenue themselves, but would also reflect input from an appointed sub - committee of the Sunland Park HOA. CCS Planning & Engineering, Inc. was selected to prepare this study because of their recent experience working for the City developing the TETAP Traffic Report, and designing the Saratoga Avenue traffic signal. If approved by the Council, this would mark the first formal attempt by the City to utilize traffic calming as a means of resolving the typical kinds of traffic complaints lodged by residents of local streets. The ultimate objective of traffic calming is to restore some of the residential qualities of local streets lost to the impacts of motor vehicle traffic. If traffic calming proves successful for Baylor Avenue, I believe the technique can be applied to other situations throughout the City where traditional engineering and enforcement methods are no longer adequate. For this reason, I support experimenting with the concept and concur with the Commission s recommendation. The proposed work scope envisions a five week time frame to complete the study. Assuming the weekend kickoff meeting were held before the Thanksgiving holiday, the draft study would likely be complete in time for the January meeting of the PSC. The final report with recommendations could then be presented to the City Council most likely in February. Fiscal Impacts: The recommended $4,000 study is an unanticipated expenditure for the current fiscal year. However, available funding for the study exists in the adopted budget in Activity 27 (Congestion Management), Account No. 5610 (Grants to Other Agencies). This is because the City will only be invoiced for the first installment of its annual Congestion Management Program dues in FY 96 -97. The CMA recently notified the City that they will not be invoicing for the second installment of the dues next spring as a result of a surplus of funds which have built up in the Congestion Management Program trust account over the past year due to lower than projected CMP expenditures. Advertising, Noticing and Public Contact: The President of the Sunland Park HOA, as well as the Baylor Avenue representative to the traffic sub - committee, have both been routinely apprised of the progress on this issue. The HOA circulates a newsletter to all its members keeping them informed as well. Consequences of Not Acting on the Recommended Motions: The consultant's proposal would not be accepted and the Traffic Calming Study would not be performed. Staff will follow whatever other direction the Council provides. Follow Up Actions: The Consultant will be instructed to proceed with the study. Attachments: 1.

Per our discussion in the September 9 Traffic Safety Committee meeting, the study will include a brief evaluation of alternatives for traffic calming, recommendation of an alternative, estimate of possible traffic diversion patterns, and cost estimates. We do not anticipate the need for extensive public meetings because two or more meetings have already been held. The following sections present a scope of work, fee, and schedule for the study. The proposed CCS staff is Steve Fitzsimons, Mike Aronson, David Kobayashi, and support staff. The project manager will attend all project meetings and supply most of the labor. Mike will provide senior review, David will assess possible traffic diversions by comparing travel times. Scope of Work CCS will develop and present three traffic calming alternatives for the Baylor Avenue committee through the following tasks. Task 1- Define Need for Project: CCS will document existing and historical traffic volumes, current travel speeds compared to posted speed limits, accident records, and resident requests. As part of a field review, CCS will invite residents to participate in a weekend neighborhood walk to describe potential elements of a traffic calming project and suggest ideas for alternatives. Task 2 - Prepare Alternatives: CCS will sketch up to three alternative traffic calming plans and evaluate the expected effectiveness of each. The evaluations will be summarized in a consumer reports styled table. A column of the table will also report estimated construction costs. This letter assumes the City can furnish copies of the aerial photograph of the neighborhood to use as a base map for sketching alternatives. Task 3 - Estimate Traffic Diversion Patterns: CCS will use a travel time comparison to estimate the potential for traffic diversions as a result of the traffic calming alternatives. This process will compare travel times on Baylor, Bucknall, and McCoy to estimate likely diversions.

Schedule The proposed schedule for this project is presented in Table 1 below. Exact dates can be filled once the dates for Traffic Safety Committee meetings are known. We expect to be able to schedule the weekend neighborhood walk at the October 21 meeting (tentatively Saturday, November 2). The draft recommendations could be presented at the December meeting, and the final report presented in January.

DISCUSSION: On September 9, the same evening as your previous meeting, a second public meeting to continue discussions about the Baylor Avenue traffic issues was held. In attendance were a number of the Baylor Avenue residents, representatives from most of the other streets in the Sunland Park neighborhood, the City's traffic consultant, and myself. A copy of the attendance roster is attached. Recall that at your August meeting, when this item first came before you, the Commission deferred taking any action until the Sunland Park HOA's input could be solicited, and additional speed data for Baylor Ave. could be obtained by the City. Since then, -the HOA has set up a traffic working group composed of one representative from each of the streets in the neighborhood, several of whom were at the September 9 meeting, and staff has ordered a speed survey of Baylor Ave. to be conducted by the same firm which will be updating a number of other traffic counts on streets throughout town. Printed on recycled paper. As of today, I have yet to receive the results of the speed survey and am not certain if I will have them in time for Monday's meeting. Nevertheless, I believe the clear consensus from the September 9 meeting was to proceed with a Traffic Calming study for Baylor Avenue so that potential solutions to the identified traffic problems could be developed, along with an evaluation of the pros and cons, of each solution. Further, there was general agreement that the Baylor residents should be allowed to spearhead the work with the consultant, and that cycling back to the HOA traffic committee would only need to occur as various milestones throughout the process are reached. CCS Planning & Engineering, the firm I have selected to work on this project, and which facilitated the September 9 meeting, has developed the attached proposal and scope of services to prepare the traffic calming study. The proposal suggests a five week time frame to complete the project, which includes an analysis of current traffic statistics, a weekend field meeting with the Baylor residents and other interested parties, the development of up to three alternative traffic calming schemes including effectiveness and cost evaluations, estimates of travel time and corresponding traffic diversion patterns for each scheme, and attendance at two additional public meetings to present the study and respond to comments. The proposed fee for the proposed scope is $4,000. For the same reasons I stated to you in August, I am recommending that the consultant's proposal to prepare a traffic calming study for Baylor Ave. be accepted even with the increased cost to $4,000, (in August, the study was estimated to cost between $2,000 and $3,000). The real issue now is not what solutions should be considered, but rather how the City handles these issues. At this point, there is little more that me or my staff can do to address the Baylor residents' concerns without additional.professional assistance. So, I guess what really needs to be decided is whether the Baylor residents have sufficiently demonstrated a need for the City to provide such professional assistance or not. From what I have observed during my participation in this issue thus far, I believe they have and that the next step is to proceed with the traffic calming study. If the Commission disagrees, then I believe it will be necessary to clearly explain why the retention of a consultant is not warranted, or what additional input is necessary to justify the need, in effect establishing a framework for making similar decisions in the future, e.g. Miller Avenue, Seagull Way, etc. 41111, Larry I. er in attachments: 1.

Speedin and increased traffic is making their street unsafe for children, pedestrians and motorist. The City of Saratoga (City) is interested in finding a solution to solve or reduce these traffic problems. This coming Monday, the City staff will be recommending to the Public Safety Commission that a traffic consultant be hired. The consultant would study the Baylor traffic problems and present alternatives in dealing with these problems. This letter is to inform you of the problems Baylor residents are experiencing, what actions are being taken and what role Sunland Park residents can take to help in this project. Background On July 16, City staff met with residents of Baylor to discuss traffic problems on the street. The meeting defined the nature of the traffic problems needing to be solved and ideas for solving them. The primary problem expressed is speeding traffic. Consistently, traffic travels well above the posted speed limit. Additional problems include increased traffic volumes since the opening of Route 85, commuter traffic using Baylor as a convenient cut - through street to get to and from Quito Road, the lack of traffic control on V Ilanova Avenue at its intersection with Baylor, and the width of Baylor that invites vehicles to drive faster. Based on this information, the City staff feels that by focusing on controlling speeding that the other problems could be sufficiently reduced. City staff then presented a recommendation to the City's Public Safety Commission that a consultant be hired to develop a plan for Baylor. Instead, the Commission voted to seek the participation of the Sunland Park Neighborhood Association (SPNA) before working on a plan, and obtain statistics on vehicular speeds. The SPNA formed a Working Group that includes a representative from each street. The objective of the group is to review the Baylor residents' traffic problems, evaluate the City's recommendation to solve their traffic problems, and provide support for this project with the input of neighborhood residents. Since the City's recommendation offered no specific plan on how to solve the Baylor problem, the Working Group notified the City that City staff should work with the residents on Baylor and develop a plan that presents solutions while identifying and considering impacts to the surrounding streets. This can be best accomplished by the staff recommendation to hire a traffic consultant. PAGE 02 Traffic Calming Early last month, members of the Working Group and residents from Baylor met with the City and a traffic Consultant to continue discussing the Baylor problems. At this meeting we were introduced to the concept of Traffic Calming, an idea that may work for Baylor and possibly serve as a model for other streets in Saratoga. Traffic Calming is making roadways less efficient for commuter traffic through such items as landscaping, narrowing of the roads and striping. The idea is to calm the commuter traffic by making it move more slowly through a residential area or redirecting it to more efficient thoroughfares like Bucknall and McCoy. The contractor identified types of traffic calming solutions that have worked in other cities and what might be possible on Baylor. Based on this meeting the SPNA Working Group continues to support the City's proposal to have a consultant study the problems and develop alternate solutions. What is Next? �oVWb4A Monday, October 21, City staff will ask the City's Public Safety C mission to recommend to the City Council that a Traffic Calming Study for aylor be conducted. If accepted, the City Council will receive the proposal at the 6 City Council meeting and decide if the project should continue. If the City Council accepts the project, the consultant will begin his work that will include a neighborhood walk. The neighborhood walk will be a visit by the consultant and City staff' to Baylor residents to discuss possible solutions that could include physical changes to the street. It will also offer an opportunity for residents of Sunland Park to ask how these changes could �-' affect traffic on other streets and if these changes can work in other areas of the neighborhood. Anyone interested in this project is invited. Notices will be delivered before the neighborhood walk. Finally, the more unified outside support that Baylor residents receive to solving these traffic problems, the more the City Will be willing to help them. All of Sunland Park should work together to restore and maintain a neighborhood quality to our residential area. The SPNA Working Group will review the alternative solutions, evaluate what impacts diverted traffic will have on other streets, and see if any of the solution could be applied to any other areas in the neighborhood. We will keep you informed as the project continues however, you need to help! The Working Group can only express the interest of the residents in the neighborhood. Keep the Working Group informed of your interest and comments on this project. If you have any comments, or you are interested in receiving information on traffic calming, call me at 374 -8817. The Working Group may need to survey residents as this project continues. If you receive a survey, please return it as quickly as possible.

ORIGINATING DEPT. Finance SUBJECT: Award of Contract for Municipal Information System Recommended Motion(s): Authorize the City Manager to execute contract with HTE -SMI, Inc. for municipal information system hardware and software. Report Summary: Background - In December 1995, to address problems associated with an aging, inadequate and unreliable information system, City Council commissioned preparation of a Technology Master Plan (TMP). The TMP was based upon an exhaustive needs assessment study and included a short and long range (5 year) plan, recommendations for procurement of necessary additional hardware /software and implementation plans and schedules. More specifically, the TMP recommended selection and implementation of a comprehensive municipal information system to gain productivity improvements and replace the current ad hoc system which is no longer supported. City Council adopted the TMP and funded the first two program years in its Budget. In carrying out TMP recommendations, staff, with assistance from WISE Consulting, embarked on a process of identifying potential solution providers. Based on several recent publications and references, the field of qualified vendors was quickly narrowed to five candidates. In April and May, staff representing all City department's attended an in -house demonstration of the various vendors product line. Staff rated the vendors using a point system. From that exercise, two finalists, HTE -SMI, Inc. and Eden Systems, were selected for further consideration. In August, staff visited two HTE clients and two Eden clients. The purpose of the visits was to objectively evaluate the software in operation. Staff also performed background investigations on the vendors, determined the degree of difficulty in converting to the vendor's software/hardware and assessed the extent of ongoing support provided. In September, armed with information obtained from our site visits, staff prepared and distributed a detailed (100+ page) Request For Proposal that spelled out our application software, hardware, installation, training and support requirements. HTE and Eden responded to the RFP. Discussion- Following the site visits and review of proposals provided by HTE and Eden, staff concluded that both firms could perform most of the requested work. However, the similarities in firms ends there. HTE and Eden follow two distinctly different approaches in addressing solutions for cities information needs (you may recall your October 22, 1996 Quarterly Review Meeting, when staff presented an Executive Summary highlighting the firms differences - see Exhibit 1). The HTE Solution: HTE's approach is turn key. They provide a vast array of software, hardware, training and project management services as a basic package for all new installations. Their support is intensive and extends to both software and hardware. They are committed to ongoing product improvements based upon input from their national and regional user groups. HTE has roughly $17 million in assets, several hundred employees, 800+ clients and has been in business since 1981. Their approach emphasizes a total solution, provided by a single vendor, in a stable processing environment. HTE is proposing a software/hardware package consisting of their applications running on an E3M AS /400 (central computer) with IBM's proprietary operating system. The AS /400 is recognized for its reliability and minimal manpower requirements. However, due to its proprietary nature, HTE and the City will, to some degree, be dependent upon IBM's future. The computer and software are transparent to the end user. The central computer is connected directly to the network interface. HTE's software applications are intuitive (easy to learn and use), comprehensive (meets our requirements), integrated (eliminates duplication of effort), written (available for immediate use) and enjoy a good reputation from other end users. HTE's product line up is extensive and this provides the City with the option to implement additional modules, should it be warranted and funding available. An example of this is in the area of CNG /petroleum fuel usage control/billing system. Consistent with the TMP, HTE's proposal envisions a file server running office automation applications such as Microsoft Windows NT, sharing data between end users, and connecting the IBM AS /400 to the rest of the computers. This combination of software and hardware allows frill use of the IBM AS /400's capabilities and ensures end users are productive in the event the central computer has to go down for any reason. As for training and installation services, HTE's proposal is very complete with double the hours of their competitor. An active user group is in place for discussing problems, identifying solutions and working closely with company representatives on future product enhancements. Staff was favorably impressed by HTE after the site visits and reference checks with existing customers were positive. The Eden Solution: Eden follows a different approach. They focus on their software line and leave the hardware solution, and whatever operating software is required to run the hardware, up to the customer. At the customer's request, they will sell hardware, however, they do not support it after the sale. This approach requires coordination and cooperation amongst several vendors. They too are committed to ongoing product improvements, but their direction appears to be driven primarily by their marketing department. Eden did not disclose their financial information. They have under 50 employees, 200+ clients and have been in business since 1981. Their approach emphasizes independence from hardware. Eden is also proposing a comprehensive software/hardware package consisting of their developed and in- development software running on a Compaq Quad 200MHz Intel Pentium Pro (file server /central computer) with SCO UNIXWARE and INFORMIX open software. The computer and software are semi - transparent to the end user because UNIX can be tricky to operate. This software/hardware configuration will more likely result in finger pointing amongst the vendors if a piece fails to function as intended. Since the central computer and the file server are one in the same machine, integration with the City's local area network is straight forward. However, this configuration may require an additional file server for the following reasons: ensure end users are productive in the event the central computer goes down; reduce competition for system resources on the central computer; and eliminate complex setup and maintenance operations. It is important to point out that this is a fairly new design configuration and that some debugging and refining is expected. Like HTE, Eden's software applications are intuitive and run well. As was the case with most of the vendors the City reviewed, Eden's product line did not match all our needed requirements. Regrettably, many applications are still on the drawing board, in the process of being written or require special programming (paid at our expense) to interface with one another. With respect to file server and end user operations, Eden's proposal is also consistent with the TMP. As for training and installation services, Eden proposes roughly half the hours of their competitor. No project management services are envisioned, leaving this responsibility up to the City. Staff was informed of a user group, but inquiries with existing clients could not confirm the active presence of such group. Reference checks with existing customers were favorable. The Point Comparison: Both firms were evaluated using an objective point system developed by the Western Governmental Audit Forum. The evaluation has four sections: mandatory criteria; product, service and cost criteria; site visit and reference checks; and additional services. Out of a possible 100 points, 90 points are awarded based on product, service and cost and 10 points are awarded based on site visit and reference checks. Staff awarded HTE 80 points; Eden 57. A summary of the results follows (see Exhibit 2 for details): Criteria HTE Eden • Mandatory Elements Yes Yes • Product, Service and Cost 1. Financial Applications 1. Software 51 38 2. Hardware 16 10 3. Active/Local End User Network 4 2 • Site Visit and Reference Checks 115,899.00 4. Support 4. Site Visit 5 3 5. Reference Checks 4 4 • Additional Services 5. Equipment 75,000.00 6. Programming Yes Yes 7. Project Management Yes No Total Points 80 57 The Cost Comparison: The overall cost differential between the two firms is dramatic. HTE came in at $278,953.92 (17% under budget) versus $327,029.96 (2% under budget) for Eden. The City's budget was $334,000.00. Furthermore, the allocation of costs was significant between the two firms. The summary below highlights those differences (see Exhibit 2 for details): Component Budget HTE Eden • Software 1. Financial Applications $125,000.00 $47,872.00 $104,500.00 2. Other Applications 90,000.00 74,381.00 45,185.00 3. Installation and Training Included 60,800.00 115,899.00 4.

Programming No Budget 125.00/hr 100.00/hr Total Cost $334,000.00 $278,953.92 $327,029.96 A complete cost breakdown is provided by each vendor (see Exhibits 3 and 4). Staff independently rebid the hardware pricing offered by HTE. Using government contract pricing, IBM quoted the City a price of $63,924.00 versus HTE at $62,574.92. HTE's lower price is not unusual given their business partner relationship with IBM and the quantity discount HTE obtains (see Exhibit 5 for IBM pricing). The Technology Steering Committee Decision: After completion of the site visits, reference checks, review of the proposals and costs, the Technology Steering Committee unanimously voted in favor of HTE as the preferred municipal information system solution vendor. Their solution addresses staff s immediate concern of replacing the 10+ year old, unsupported financial and community development software which is in jeopardy of crashing again. The Committee believes HTE's turn key approach is superior to Eden because it is balanced, comprehensive and most likely to succeed in Saratoga's limited resource environment. Copies of both proposals are available for review in the Technology Coordinator's office. The Other Related Projects: Staff is working on two other technology related projects. The first project involves replacing the cabling and routers/bridges that provide the "backbone" to our local area network. This project is critical to the overall success of our technology program. The City has experienced repeated failures with our network due to faulty cabling and hubs. The result has been frequent and complete breakdowns in our ability to transact information. Staff is currently in the process of completing the design phase of this project. The second project involves replacing our aging PC fleet. Council awarded this contract earlier and the project is well under way. Staff anticipates phasing out the oldest of the City's PC inventory by the end of the second quarter. Fiscal Impacts: The cost of executing the agreement with HTE is $278,953.92, which is $55 thousand less than budget. Favorable contract payment terms were requested and agreed to by HTE on the software: 25% on contract execution, 25% on installation completion, 25% on training/conversion completion, and 25% on final system acceptance. This funding scenario works within the parameters of the TMP. Sufficient funds are available within the existing Management Information Systems budget (Program 8085) to cover the expenditure. No additional appropriation is required at this time. Follow Up Actions: Execute contract with HTE. Coordinate implementation schedule. Consequences of Not Acting on the Recommended Motion: TMP can not be implemented as planned. Significant risk of total financial and community development system failure left unresolved. Immediate productivity opportunities will be forfeited. Compliance with current and proposed state and federal rules, regulations, legislation and mandates may not be meet. Exhibits 1.

PUBLIC WORKS AGENDA ITEM CITY MGR. DEPT. HEAD i PREPARED BY iZJAd adQf7 SUBJECT: Award of contract for citywide street sweeping services Recommended Motion(s): 1. Move to declare Green Valley Recycling of Los Gatos to be the lowest responsible bidder for the work. 2. Move to award a contract to Green Valley Recycling in the amount of $45,000 to provide citywide street sweeping services through June 30, 1997. Report Summary: Under the provisions of the City's NPDES (Stormwater) Permit, the City is required to perform various "Public Agency" activities to reduce stormwater pollution from the City's public street system. The primary activity which the City can perform to meet this objective is street sweeping. Over the past two years, a pilot street sweeping program has been developed by staff and gradually expanded to a citywide program utilizing two contractors on an interim basis. Initially, weekly sweeping of approximately 60 curb miles of major arterial and collector streets was performed. This was then expanded to include approximately 205 curb miles of residential streets on a quarterly basis. Based on the experience and results obtained during the pilot program, staff believes we are now ready to proceed with the comprehensive program originally envisioned which continues the weekly arterial and collector street sweeping, and increases the residential sweeping to a monthly frequency. In preparation for the comprehensive program, staff solicitated proposals from interested vendors to provide the range of street sweeping and related service needed. A copy of the solicitation for proposals is attached (Attachment I). Four firms responded with proposals, the comparative costs of which can be summarized as follows: 1. Green Valley Recycling 2. Universal Sweeping Services 3. Piazza Mobil Sweeping 4. Van Herrick's * Prices are based on unit rates for street sweeping, monthly residential for parking lot and other sweeping. $63,763* $78,936* $85,056* $107,414* weekly arterial /collector sweeping, and estimated cost Attachment II summarizes the complete proposals received. Attachment III includes the four proposals in their entirety. Green Valley Recycling, the lowest bidder, is the same contractor who provides garbage and recycling services in Saratoga. Since Green Valley Recycling has well established routes for garbage and recycling collection, they can schedule the street sweeping in Saratoga to complement rather than conflict with the solid waste collection services they are providing, thus potentially resulting in a better coordinated, more effective, and economical program. In addition, Green Valley Recycling has a complaint tracking and resolution system in place which can be extended to the street sweeping program. Lastly, Green Valley Recycling has the ability to disseminate street sweeping information along with information about garbage and recycling programs via inserts in the garbage bills and through other direct mailers. In staff's opinion, these benefits outweigh the fact that this potential contract would be their first venture into municipal street sweeping. However, the relative similarities between solid waste collection operations and street sweeping lead staff to believe that Green Valley Recycling can do the job well, particularly given their reputation for providing high quality solid waste collection services. Attachment IV is the proposed street sweeping contract developed by staff and the City Attorney. There are six exhibits to the contract. Exhibit A defines terms, specifies the scope of service, provides customer service guidelines, and documentation requirements. Exhibit B summarizes the unit price for services and payment schedule. The combined contract unit price for sweeping is $11.15 per curb mile for arterial and residential streets. Parking lot sweeping is included at no additional cost. Unscheduled sweeping is $55 per hour and leaf sweeping is $85 per hour. Exhibit C defines equipment specifications which require the Contractor to have at least one (1) primary sweeper and one (1) back -up sweeper in the event of mechanical failure to the primary machine or for any additional services needed. Exhibit D defines general provisions addressing service standards, labor and equipment guidelines, holiday service, subcontracting, permits and licenses, contractor's records, insurance requirements, hold harmless, and performance bond. Exhibit E sets forth terms for contract renewal. Exhibit F sets forth the general standards of performance. As stated above, staff feels confident in Green Valley's ability and desire to provide high quality street sweeping services for the City. Consequently, staff recommends declaring Green Valley Recycling to be the lowest responsible bidder for the work and awarding a standard street sweeping contract to them in the amount of $45,000 which staff believes will be sufficient to provide the range of services needed through June 30, 1997. Assuming the Council concurs with the above recommendations, the contractor has indicated that work could begin within a month. Fiscal Impacts• Sufficient funding for the recommended contract amount exists in the adopted budget in Activity 28 (Stormwater Management), Account No. 4510 (Contract Services). Advertising, Noticing and Public Contact: Nothing additional. Consequences of Not Acting on the Recommended Motions: Depending on Council's action, Green Valley Recycling may not be declared the lowest responsible bidder and the recommended contract may not be awarded. The City Council may make specific findings to declare another bidder to be the lowest responsible bidder or it may reject all of the bids and direct staff accordingly. Follow Up Actions: The attached street sweeping contract will be executed and Green Valley Recycling will be authorized to proceed. Attachments: 1. Copy of Request for Proposals (RFP). 2.

Though street sweeping will be a new venture for us, we are confident we will provide the level of service the residents and the City have come to expect from Green Valley. Having garbage, recycling, yardwaste, and street sweeping performed by Green Valley will provide the City with the advantage of one -stop shopping, in order to facilitate efficient contract management. Residential and Arterial Swee * The following matrix will provide you with all the prices asked for in your list of questions #1 thru 12. Please note that the overall price includes once a week sweeping of all the parking lots listed in your request for proposal (Congress Springs Park, Hakone Gardens, Saratoga City Hall, and the four Villiage parking lots). All reports /documentation required by the City of Saratoga are included in the listed prices. As we discussed on the telephone, the costs per mile varies within the type of service, depending on the frequency of residential sweeping. Our costs assume that the contract awarded will contain both residential and arterial curb miles, at a selected frequency for residential curb miles. Therefore, the significant cost is the overall cost per mile, and the total cost of the program. Cost per curb mile/ Overall cost of program: RESIDENTIAL SWEEPING TYPE OF SERVICE QUARTERLY 8 TIMES/YR MONTHLY 60 curb miles arterial (weekly) $11.64 $10.24 $9.22 205 curb miles residential (as listed) $17.14 $14.84 $13.60 Overall combined cost per mile $12.79 $11.83 $11.15 Total annual cost of program $50,376 $56,290 $62,203 Leaf Drop Collection and Swee -g Because of the unspecified number of curb miles to be cleaned and swept for leaf drop season, Green Valley proposes to charge a per day fee of $675.00. This fee is based upon Green Valley using two pieces of equipment, a tractor to push and collect leaves, and a sweeper to follow. Green Valley experience indicates that this method increases the quality of service and creates efficiencies, allowing more curb miles to be done in one day. Public Information Green Valley will distribute information to the public (sweeping schedules) as a supplement in the quarterly solid waste bills, along with information about garbage and recycling. Should the City desire a direct mailer, the cost will be $0.50 per piece. Green Valley's data base has Approximately 9,250 homes. Because advertisements in the newspaper are based on the size and frequency, Green Valley will pass through any costs associated with newspaper advertisements. Equipment Green Valley will purchase a new, or like -new, regenerative air sweeper for the City of Saratoga. The operator will sweep at a speed which is safe for the conditions (time of day, weather, traffic, etc. all dictate the rate at which the operator will travel). Green Valley will evaluate the possibility of using an alternative fuel sweeping machine. Green Valley looks forward to working with the City of Saratoga in creating a high quality, efficient, and cost effective street sweeping program.

There will be no additional cost for providing this parking lot service, however, there will be no reduction in price should the City choose not to provide this service. 2) Documentation- I have reviewed the Universal Sweeping Services report for the City of San Jose sent to me. Green Valley will provide similar information regarding volumes and weights (if a box at the corporation yard is designated for street sweeping), public education, field conditions, and other pertinent information. 3) Emergency Services - Green Valley will provide emergency services to the City of Saratoga for $55.00 per hour. 4) Start Date - As I indicated in our proposal, Green Valley will be purchasing a piece of equipment to serve Saratoga. Knowing that it will. take time to. formafte'a contract, Green Valley will need 4 weeks to obtain equipment from the time The City of Saratoga gives us some type of commitment, or mutual understanding that a signed contract is being developed. I hope I have answered your questions.

APPROVAL SUBJECT: Resolution Declaring Weeds Growing on Certain Described Property to be a Public Nuisance and Setting Public Hearing Recommended Motion: Adopt resolution. Report Summary: The attached resolution represents the first step in Saratoga's annual weed abatement program administered by the County Fire Marshal. The County has determined that the parcels in Saratoga on the attached list have excessive weed growth which is a fire hazard or otherwise noxious or dangerous. The Council should pass the resolution setting the public hearing for weed -- December 4 this year. Fiscal Impacts: None to City. County recovers its costs from administrative portion of fee charged to property owners. Follow Up Actions: The County sends the owners of the parcels notices informing them that the weeds must be abated, either by the owners or by the County; when County abatement will commence; and how they may present any objections at the public hearing. The public hearing is noticed in the newspapers as well. After the public hearing, the Council passes another resolution ordering abatement on properties whose owners did not object or whose objections the Council felt were invalid. The final steps take place next summer, when the County presents the Council with a list of properties whose abatement bills have not been paid, and the Council, after hearing any objections, passes a resolution declaring liens on those properties. Consequences of Not Acting on the Recommended Motions: Weed abatement could not be performed by the County. It would be necessary to depend upon property owners to take care of their own abatement.

HEAD SUBJECT: Motor Vehicle Resolution authorizing placement of stop signs at Bohlman Rd. /Oak St. /Sixth St. intersection and on St Charles St. at Oak St. Recommended Motion(s): 1. Move to adopt the Motor Vehicle Resolution designating the intersection of Bohlman Rd. /Oak St. /Sixth St. as a three -way stop intersection. 2. Move to adopt the Motor Vehicle Resolution authorizing the installation of a stop sign on St. Charles St. at Oak St. Report Summary: Attached are two Motor Vehicle Resolutions which, if adopted, would authorize the placement of stop signs at two intersections near one another. The first Resolution designates the intersection of Bohlman Rd. /Oak St. /Sixth St. as a three way stop intersection. Presently, only traffic on Sixth St. is required to stop when approaching the intersection. During the recent Pavement Management Program work, the intersection was improved and realigned to enhance its overall safety. Stop signs were added on Bohlman Rd. and Oak St. to extend right -of -way control to all three approaches to primarily counter the tendency of motorists to accelerate on the Bohlman Rd. approach, and to improve safety for residents in the immediate vicinity of the intersection to get into and out of their driveways and for visitors entering and exiting Madronia Cemetery. The second Resolution authorizes the placement of a stop sign on St. Charles St. at its intersection with Oak St. to assign right - of -way control for the minor street intersecting with the major street. The unusual horizontal and vertical alignment of the intersection, its proximity to the Saratoga Elementary School, and the fact that a stop sign already exists at the opposite end of St. Charles St. at its intersection with Sixth St., all justify the placement of this stop sign. i The above stop signs were installed on an interim basis approximately one month ago. Reaction from the public has been favorable and both staff and the Sheriff's deputies believe the signs are working well, serving their intended purposes, and should be retained on a permanent basis. Adoption of the two Motor Vehicle Resolutions is necessary to authorize this, and to validate enforcement of the stop signs. Fiscal Impacts: Approximately $500 was expended in labor and materials to install the new stop signs. Advertising. Noticing and Public Contact: The residents in the immediate vicinity of the Bohlman /Oak /Sixth intersection were consulted with during the re- design of the intersection. Nothing additional was done for the St. Charles St. stop sign. Consequences of Not Acting on the Recommended Motions: Either or both of the Resolutions would not be adopted which would result in the removal of some or all of the new stop signs. Follow Up Actions: Nothing required. Attachments: 1. MV Resolution designating Bohlman /Oak /Sixth intersection as a three -way stop intersection. 2.

MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 6, 1996 ORIGINATING DEPT.: PUBLIC WORKS AGENDA ITE CITY MGR.: DEPT. HEAD SUBJECT: Report on emergency purchase - $11,800 construction contract to L & L Construction Co. of Antioch, CA for repair of Damon Lane retaining wall Recommended Motion(s): Receive report as information. Report Summary: Section 2- 45.070(c) of the Municipal Code requires emergency purchases in excess of $5,000 to be reported at the next regular City Council meeting after the purchase is made. On October 18, Purchase Order No. 17358 in the amount of $11,800 was issued to L & L Construction of Antioch, CA, to complete emergency repairs of a retaining wall along Damon Lane in Tract No. 6701 below the property at 13970 Albar Court. The wall had become stressed beyond its original design due to activation of a landslide above the wall and was in imminent danger of collapse. As a precautionary measure, Damon Lane was closed to traffic and will remain closed until completion of the repairs. Prior to issuance of the Purchase Order, staff solicited bids from three qualified contractors to perform the work. A summary of the bids received is as follows: L & L Construction $ 11,800 Alpha -Geo Services, Inc. $ 12,900 Sunstone Construction $ 70,000 to replace the entire wall with a Helix pier wall The decision to issue the Purchase Order to L & L Construction was made after careful review of their proposed repair scheme by the City's Plan Check Engineer. A no fee building permit was issued to the contractor on October 21. As of October 31, the repair is roughly half finished, and should be complete by November 15. Simultaneously with the repair of the wall, the owner of the property above the wall has initiated a repair of the landslide on his property. This too should be complete by mid - November. IV Fiscal Impacts: Sufficient funds for the repair exist in Capital Project No. 9703 (Emergency Hillside Road Repair). Recall that Tract No. 6701 is one of the four hillside subdivisions in which the property owners participated in the establishment of the Hillside Road Repair Fund, (Fund 16). Advertising.
