SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE:September 21,2022
DEPARTMENT:Administrative Services
PREPARED BY:Ann Xu, Accountant
Agnes Pabis, Finance Manager
SUBJECT:Treasurer’s Report for the Month Ended July 31, 2022
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Review and accept the Treasurer’s Report for the month ended July 31, 2022.
BACKGROUND:
California government code section 41004 requires that the City Treasurer submits to the City
Clerk and the legislative body a written report and accounting of all receipts, disbursements, and
fund balances. The Municipal Code of the City of Saratoga, Article 2-20, Section 2-20.035
designates the City Manager as the City Treasurer. This report is prepared to fulfill this
requirement.
The following attachments provide various financial transaction data for the City of Saratoga’s
Funds collectively as well as specifically for the City’s General (Operating) Fund, including an
attachment from the State Treasurer’s Office of Quarterly LAIF rates from the 1st Quarter of 1977
to the present.
FISCAL STATEMENT:
Cash and Investments Balance by Fund
As of July 31, 2022, the City’s unaudited cash and investments totaled $40,439,920. The City
Council’s adopted policy on the Working Capital Reserve Fund states that effective July 1, 2016:
for cash flow purposes and to avoid the occurrence of dry period financing, pooled cash from all
funds should not be allowed to fall below $1,000,000. The total pooled cash balance of $40.4
million exceeds the minimum amount required.

Cash Summary

City’s Current Financial Position
In accordance with California government code section 53646 (b) (3), the City is financially well
positioned and able to meet its estimated expenditure requirements for the next six months. As of
July 31, 2022, the City’s financial position (Assets $41.6M, Liabilities $12.4M, and Fund Equity
$29.2M) remains very strong and there are no issues in meeting financial obligations now or in
the foreseeable future.
The following Fund Balance schedule represents actual funding available for all funds at the end
of the monthly period. This amount differs from the above Cash Summary schedule as assets
and liabilities are components of the fund balance. As illustrated in the summary below, Total
Cash is adjusted by the addition of Total Assets less the amount of Total Liabilities to arrive at
the Ending Fund Balance –which represents the actual amount of funds available.

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE:September 21, 2022
DEPARTMENT:Public Works Department
PREPARED BY:M. Leah Cabute, Environmental Program Manager
SUBJECT:Railroad Mitigation Improvements Contract with BKF Engineers
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Authorize a new contract with BKF Engineers in the amount of $120,000 for the design of the four
mitigation sites as part of the Blue Hills Pedestrian Railroad Crossing Project.
BACKGROUND:
The Blue Hills Pedestrian Railroad Crossing at UPRR has been a work in progress since 2012,
when residents living near Fredericksburg Drive and Guava Court reached out to City staff
requesting that the City work toward reopening the crossing entrance at Guava Court. At the
direction of the Traffic Safety Commission, City staff began the process of reopening the Guava
Court access.
The Blue Hills Pedestrian Crossing at UPRR project will reopen by constructing an at-grade
pedestrian crossing connecting Fredericksburg Drive and Guava Court, which will enhance
pedestrian connectivity to Blue Hills Elementary School. As part of the process of reopening a
crossing, UPRR requires that cities close three existing railroad crossings. Due to the City’s
inability to close three crossings, UPRR instead requires the City to upgrade pedestrian and
bicycle facilities at the following four railroad crossings citywide:Glen Brae Drive, Cox
Avenue, Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road, and Arroyo de Arguello.The specific upgrades at these four
locations have been identified by the California Public Utilities Commission and focuses on
improving access and safety.
On December 6, 2017, the City Council authorized a contract in the amount of $135,380 with
BKF Engineers for the design of the Blue Hills Elementary Pedestrian Crossing at Union Pacific
Railroad.The scope of this original contract focused mostly on the pedestrian crossing at
Fredericksburg Drive and Guava Court. Subsequently, the design work for the contract was
amended to include drainage repairs and bioswales along the southside of Guava Court, which
increased the total contract amount to $172,940.
In early 2021, staff submitted a grant application for the Metropolitan Transportation
Commission (MTC) Safe and Seamless Mobility Quick-Strike Program grant funds. The grant
52
approved projects that emphasized bicycle and pedestrian safety and mobility, connections to
transit and projects that advance equitable mobility. While the original request primarily focused
on connecting two neighborhoods, the project also allows Saratoga community members,
especially the Greenbrier neighborhood, to use Joe’s trail to bike or walk.
On June 23, 2021, the MTC Board approved the Blue Hills project to receive $1.8 million in
Safe and Seamless Mobility Quick Strike Program funding. These grant funds will be used to
construct the Blue Hills Pedestrian Crossing at Fredericksburg Drive and Guava Court and also
the safety and access upgrades at the four mitigation locations.
At this time, staff requests that the City Council approve this contract with BKF in the amount of
$120,000 for the design of four railroad crossings per the CPUC and UPRR safety
recommendations. The contract scope includes working with the City, UPRR and CPUC,
collecting data, developing concept plans, and recommending the appropriate timelines for the
improvements. This contract is set to expire on June 30, 2024.
Once the design of the four mitigation locations is complete, the City can move forward with a
formal Agreement with UPRR to construct the Blue Hills Pedestrian Crossing at Fredericksburg
Drive and Guava Court and safety improvements at four railroad crossings mitigation project.
All other improvements that have not been recommended as part of the Safe and Seamless grant
funds will be completed at a later time when more grant funding is secured.
For these reasons, staff requests that the City Council authorize the City to enter into a new
contract with BKF.

Subject: Saratoga Railroad Crossing Mitigation Improvements Project
Dear Ms. Cabute:
As a follow-up to our field meeting on Thursday, May 12, 2022, attached is a proposal that outlines the additional
scope of work requested for the Fredericksburg Dr/Guava Ct Pedestrian/Bicycle Railroad Improvements Project
(Project).
These additional efforts address the input received by Union Pacific Rail Road (UPRR) regarding their request to
enhance the safety elements at 4 existing at-grade railroad crossings in the City of Saratoga. The attached
proposal includes measures to provide concept plans addressing the modifications to these at-grade railroad
crossings. To arrive at the estimated effort required by our office for this Project, we have outlined a proposed
scope of services, identified assumptions, and determined a level of effort fee based on our understanding of the
amendment to the Project.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
BKF’s understanding of the additional scope of work requested by the City for the Project is as follows:
·Through the formation of a diagnostics team led by UPRR and the California Public Utilities Commission
(CPUC), the City was tasked to evaluate the existing crossings at four other locations in order to create a
new crossing at Fredericksburg Dr/Guava Ct.
·The four locations tasked to implement safety improvements are
o Glen Brae Drive - RR Crossing (MP 9.26),
o Cox Ave - RR Crossing (MP 9.66),
o Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road – RR Crossing (MP 10.25),
o Arroyo de Arguello – RR Crossing (MP 10.51)
·Due to overall schedule and funding constraints, the scope of improvements contains three phases (Phase
0, Phase 1, and Phase 2) which will be discussed in greater detail later in this document.
o Phase 0 to be prepared by BKF Engineers and constructed by City of Saratoga’s Public Works
department through their field and maintenance staff. Work is expected to be completed before
September 2022.
o Phase 1 Concept Plan to be prepared by BKF Engineers and constructed in conjunction with the
City’s Fredericksburg Drive/Guava Court Railroad Crossing Project. The phase will be constructed
via conventional design, bid, build practices and will follow construction deadline requirements
per current funding.
o Phase 2 Concept Plan to be prepared by BKF Engineers. Project funding has not been obtained
and thus construction timeline is TBD.
·It is assumed that the City will lead all outreach efforts with adjacent property owners, if required.
·No traffic, structural, or geotechnical engineering studies or services are included in the proposed scope
of work.
Contractor: BKF Engineers Project Name: Railroad Crossing Mitigation Improvements

·The City will be administering the bidding and construction support of the proposed improvements.
·The coordination and approval process with UP is understood to be very dynamic and the resolution of
the phased delivery approach will take several iterations to obtain UP’s approval and consent. BKF
therefore will attempt to reach resolution of the scope of work for each phase within the budgets noted,
however, if efforts exceed the allowable budgets, BKF will inform the City immediately and develop an
amendment as required.
·GO-88B applications for each of the 4 crossings will be required, but are not included in this proposal.
BKF will develop a separate proposal to develop the CPUC applications for this effort.
·The City will complete all coordination with Caltrans directly. BKF’s scope of work does not account for
any Caltrans coordination and design documents or funding approvals.
PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK & ASSUMPTIONS
To meet this objective, BKF has developed a supplementary scope of work and additional magnitude of cost for
the City’s consideration:
Task 1 – Project Management and Coordination with City, UPRR, CPUC
The objective of this task is to ensure that coordination with the City, UPRR, and CPUC is maintained throughout
the duration of the Project. BKF will manage each proposed task in order to ensure that the tasks are completed
in accordance with the requirements of the jurisdictional authority.
BKF will provide project management services for these additional tasks. BKF’s Project Manager will be
responsible for managing the BKF Project team, providing the resources to complete the job, monitoring and
updating the Project budget and schedule and communicating regularly with the City. BKF’s Project Manager will
keep the City informed by close communications and will attend progress meetings with the City on an as-needed
basis. BKF will attempt to hold all meetings within the allocated budget, but if several meetings are required to
finalize the proposed scope of work, BKF will notify the City about additional budgetary needs to do so.
BKF will coordinate with the overall Project Team, so that information is disseminated and Project coordination
between all parties is seamless. Coordination meetings will be held, if necessary, for comments that need
clarification or further information is required.
Task 2 –Data Collection (Survey Topo, R/W Mapping, Utility Mapping)
BKF will perform a site visit to assess existing site conditions and impacts to existing site features along the length
of the new improvements. BKF will also collect existing utility mappings from third-party utility owners and the
City and will utilize this information to extend mapping along the limits of the new improvements.
BKF will complete topographic field surveying as part of this task to form base map to cover the limits of the new
improvements. BKF will compile information from this field survey to reflect existing conditions. The topographic
field survey will be conducted to aid the design of Phase 1 and Phase 2 of project. The base sheet will be
coordinated with the entire Project Team. BKF will include unresolved right of way mapping for each of the
locations for reference. Resolved right of way mapping services are not included in the attached scope of work,
but can be provided upon request in a separate proposal.
Task 3 –Develop Phase 0 Concept Plan
BKF will produce a concept plan for Phase 0 of the railroad crossing mitigation improvements. This will be
produced on an aerial drawing with approximate design details intended to be suitable for construction through
the City’s field and/or maintenance team. No Specifications or Estimates will accompany this design.
Task 4 –Develop Phase 1 Concept Plan
BKF will produce a concept plan for Phase 1 of the railroad crossing mitigation improvements. This will be
Contractor: BKF Engineers Project Name: Railroad Crossing Mitigation Improvements
Exhibit A-1 Page 2 of 5 59
8/8/2022
Page 3 of 3 BKF ENGINEERS
produced on an aerial drawing with approximate design details intended for use as meeting materials to discuss
design intent during coordination efforts. The concept plan is not intended for construction and will require work
completed in Task 5 to be bid to construction. The scope of work in Phase 1 will be the work determined via the
Diagnostic Team (CPUC & UPRR), and the City.
Task 5 – Develop Phase 2 Concept Plans
BKF will produce a concept plan for Phase 2 of the railroad crossing mitigation improvements. This design will be
supplemented with topographic survey and be prepared to a concept level intended for use during coordination
efforts and grant funding opportunities. The concept plan is not intended for construction and will require work
completed in future tasks to be bid to construction. The scope of work in Phase 2 will be the work determined via
the Diagnostic Team (CPUC & UPRR) and the City.
Task 6 – Cost Estimating for Phasing Strategy
BKF will prepare preliminary cost estimates for Phase 1 and Phase 2 to be combined with the overall project cost
of the Fredericksburg Dr/Guava Ct Pedestrian/Bicycle Railroad Improvements Project. This task will be prepared to
determine the appropriate phasing strategy that utilizes City funds in the most beneficial manner. This cost
estimate will be prepared in coordination efforts with CPUC, UPRR, and the City.
III. SUMMARY
The amount of effort required for each individual task outlined above in the Scope of Work is described in the
attached “Summary of Project Scope and Effort” for your consideration. BKF proposes to provide the work
described herein and the enclosed fee summary for an estimated fee not to exceed $120,000.
Should any additional services be requested or required which are not included in our Scope of Work above, we
will complete our one-page Contract Addendum and forward it to you for approval and processing prior to
executing any additional work task. All fees, including our base services and additional work, shall be paid on a
time and material basis in accordance with our schedule of Professional Personnel Service Fees expiring on
December 31, 2022, which is attached for reference.
Thank you for the opportunity to present this proposal. We look forward to assisting in developing this Project.
Please contact me at 925-396-7743 if you have any questions.

City of Saratoga Services Contract
Exhibit E - Supplemental Provisions
Exhibit C – Section 13 is replaced with the following:
13. INDEMNIFICATION. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall immediately
defend, indemnify, and hold harmless City, its Council members, employees, agents and
officials, from any liability, claims, suits, actions, arbitration proceedings, administrative
proceedings, regulatory proceedings, losses, expenses or costs (including, without limitation,
costs and fees of alternative dispute resolution and litigation) of any kind whatsoever without
restriction or limitation, incurred arising out of, pertaining to, or relating to the negligence,
recklessness, or willful misconduct of Contractor or its employees, agents, or subcontractors and
supported by a Certificate of Merit. All obligations under this provision are to be paid by
Contractor as they are incurred by the City. Contractor’s obligation to indemnify applies unless
it is finally adjudicated that the liability was caused by the active negligence or willful
misconduct of an indemnified party. If it is finally adjudicated that liability is caused by the
comparative active negligence or willful misconduct of an indemnified party, then Contractor’s
indemnification obligation shall be reduced in proportion to the established comparative liability.
13.1 Scope of Contractor Obligation. The obligations of Contractor under this or
any other provision of this agreement will not be limited by the provisions of any
workers' compensation act or similar act. Contractor expressly waives its statutory
immunity under such statutes or laws as to City, its employees and officials.
13.2 Subcontractors. Contractor agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements
with provisions identical to those set forth in this section from each and every
subcontractor, sub tier contractor or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or
on behalf of Contractor in the performance or subject matter of this agreement. In the
event Contractor fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required here,
Contractor agrees to be fully responsible according to the terms of this section.
13.3 Duty to Defend. In addition to Contractor’s obligation to indemnify, Contractor
shall defend, in all legal, equitable, administrative, or special proceedings, with counsel
approved by the City, the City, its Council members, employees, agents and officials,
immediately upon tender to Contractor of the claim in any form or at any stage of an
action or proceeding, once liability is established by a Certificate of Merit from a duly
licensed engineer. A determination that persons other than Contractor are responsible for
the claim relieves Contractor from its separate and distinct obligation to defend. The
obligation to defend extends through final judgment, including exhaustion of any appeals.
The defense obligation includes an obligation to provide independent
76
Contractor: BKF Engineers Project Name: Railroad Crossing Mitigation Improvements
-Exhibit E- Page 2 of 2
defense counsel if Contractor asserts that liability is caused in whole or in part by the
negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnified party. If it is finally adjudicated that
liability was caused by the comparative active negligence or willful misconduct of an
indemnified party, Contractor may submit a claim to the City, and City will provide
reimbursement of reasonable attorneys’ fees and defense costs in proportion to the
established comparative liability of the indemnified party.
13.4 In General. Failure of City to monitor compliance with these requirements
imposes no additional obligations on City and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights
hereunder. This obligation to indemnify and defend City as set forth herein is binding on
the successors, assigns, or heirs of Contractor and shall survive the termination of this
agreement or this section. This section 13 shall in no event be construed to require
indemnification by Contractor to a greater extent than permitted under the public policy
of the State of California. For purposes of Section 2782 of the Civil Code the parties
hereto recognize and agree that this agreement is not a construction contract. By
execution of this agreement, Contractor acknowledges and agrees that it has read and
understands the provisions hereof and that this paragraph is a material element of
consideration. City approval of insurance required by this agreement does not relieve the
Contractor or subcontractors from liability under this paragraph.

Basic Project Information
Project Name: Blue Hills Elementary Pedestrian Crossing at UPRR
Project Sponsor: City of Saratoga
Sponsor Contact
Information:
Mainini Cabute
408.868.1258
mcabute@saratoga.ca.us
Project Location:
The project is located in the City of Saratoga, south of the public CPUC Crossing
001V-10.20 along Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road and north of public CPUC Crossing
001V-9.50 along Cox Avenue, at UPRR Mile Post 9.80. The proposed project
location runs parallel to Fredericksburg Drive and Guava Court and the Union Pacific
Rail Road corridor.
Brief Project Description:
Please limit to 100 word maximum
The project proposes to reopen and construct an at-grade crossing connecting
Fredericksburg Dr. and Guava Ct, which provides pedestrian connectivity to Lido
Way. The project proposes to construct a 10-foot wide walkway over the UPRR
tracks within the existing 20-foot wide City access easement. An ADA-Compliant
landing will be provided at both ends and center of the track for pedestrians. The new
crossing will utilize the CPUC standard flashing light signal assembly systems with
automatic gates, UPRR track panels, standard 12’ UPRR right-of-way gates, and
Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board (“Caltrain”) standard swing gates and guard
railing.

to their school and other destinations and gives community members the
ability to walk to shopping centers, parks, government centers, churches,
and other destinations. The proposed pedestrian crossing also intersects
with Joe’s Trail, and Joe’s trail is part of a future county and multi-
jurisdictional trail system that will connect many Priority Development
Areas in Santa Clara County. In the near term, it will connect to Saratoga
PDA corridor connections, from Prospect Road and Saratoga Avenue to
San Jose PDA shopping centers on Saratoga Avenue and Lawrence. The
proposed project will also upgrade pedestrian and bicycle facilities by
improving access and safety at four railroad crossings citywide as part of
the mitigation requirements outlined by the CPUC.
Connected
Mobility Framework:
Please limit to 200 word maximum
Describe how the project aligns with the values & goals of the Partnership Board’s
Connected Mobility Framework:
The proposed project aligns with the five connected mobility values and goals. The
proposed pedestrian crossing with ADA upgrades and Class 1 bicycle facility
supports the Countywide Bicycle Plan and would allow bicyclists to continue their
routes through Joe’s Trail. The proposed project creates great travel choice for
families to walk or ride their bikes to school, thereby reducing vehicle miles traveled.
Families can also ride to parks, the Saratoga Library, and nearby destinations such
as the shopping centers. The proposed project prioritizes the traveler’s experience by
investing in safety upgrades to the proposed project and the designated railroad
crossing intersections that improve access and safety for the pedestrian and bicyclist.
The proposed project is equitable and inclusive to all community members of various
ages and demographics, allowing all community members to easily and safely
access the proposed project that connects to Joe’s Trail and the four railroad
crossing intersections. Lastly, the project supports sustainability because it reduces
vehicle trips and miles traveled and encourages community members to walk or bike
to local destinations.
Community Engagement &
Planning Processes: Please limit to 200
word maximum
Describe the community outreach that has been completed related to this project, and also reference any local or regional plans in which this project is included (e.g.
community-based transportation plan, station area or specific plans, bicycle or
pedestrian plans, etc.):
Community interest for reopening this pedestrian crossing resurfaced in 2012 at a
public community meeting. Parks and Recreation Commission members directed
staff to explore the possibility of working with local agency partners to formally
reopen the pedestrian crossing that CPUC closed due to non-compliant ADA access.
The City immediately reached out to the California Public Utilities Commission
(CPUC) and the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) to begin discussions for formally
reopening the crossing. The City has communicated with the Pedestrian, Equestrian,
Bicycle, Trails Advisory Committee (PEBTAC), the Parks and Recreation
Commission (PRC) and directly with the neighborhood throughout the development
of this project. PEBTAC’s and PRC’s feedback of allowing pedestrian and bike
access to the crossing from Guava Court was incorporated into the plan for this
project. The Saratoga City Council has set aside matching grants during public
meetings to show its support of the project.
Describe the outreach that has been completed with transit operators to ensure the
project does not conflict with existing or planned transit service:
The City has been diligent about communicating with both the CPUC and UPRR.
Since 2013, the City of Saratoga has been working directly with both agencies to
94
Safe & Seamless Mobility Quick-Strike Grant CTA Nominations – Project Information Form
3
discuss the necessary upgrades and requirements in order to construct the
pedestrian/bicycle crossing. In 2019, the City received formal approval from CPUC to
construct the project. The project also includes mitigation measures required by
UPRR and CPUC at existing crossings in Saratoga. Various meetings, including field
diagnostics were performed to discuss and identify necessary upgrades at four
intersections city wide. The project does not conflict with existing or planned transit
service.
Transit
Connectivity:
Please limit to 100 word maximum
Describe how this project addresses a gap in transit connectivity, particularly in areas
significantly impacted from pandemic:
The proposed project addresses a gap in transit connectivity because it creates
access to Joe’s trail from the two neighborhoods. The Saratoga community has a
large population of aging community members, making them more vulnerable and
more significantly impacted by the pandemic. During the last 12-months of the shelter
in place order from the County of Santa Clara County, the Prospect Center on
Prospect Road performed regular COVID-19 tests. The proposed project would
improve transit connectivity for Saratoga elderly community members by reducing the
walking distance to existing Covid testing sites, especially for those who live on the
Fredericksburg Drive side of proposed project.
Project
Partnerships: Indicate if project is
anticipated to be co-nominated by MTC
Describe any partnerships in place for this project (jurisdictions, CTAs, transit
agencies, community groups, etc.):
This proposed project is in partnership with the California Public Utilities Commission
and the Union Pacific Railroad. Both the CPUC and UPRR are integral partners to
make the construction possible. The City is also in partnership with community
groups, such the Blue Hills Elementary School Community members, the Pedestrian,
Equestrian, Bicyclists, Trails Advisory Committee (PEBTAC), and the Parks and
Recreation Commission. These community groups are significant in keeping the
project relevant as it impacts their quality of life.
☐ Project is co-nominated by MTC.
Project Readiness:
Please limit to 100
word maximum
Describe the readiness of the project, including right-of-way impacts, the type of
environmental document/clearance required, and consistency with Plan Bay Area
2040.
The City’s proposed project is construction ready. The City spent many years
working and meeting directly with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC)
and with Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) to achieve project readiness and the project
has been fully vetted by both agencies. The design for the proposed project is
complete and there were no environmental issues identified during the evaluation of
the site and design of the project.
The City has received an exemption per section 15301 of the CEQA guidelines.
The field diagnostics for the four railroad crossing intersections that are part of the
project have been conducted and the areas requiring improvement have been
identified. The City has received CPUC permission to construct the project and once
the City secures funding, it will enter into an Agreement with UPRR. The project has
strong support from the community and all of the stakeholders involved in the project.
If the project touches Caltrans right-of-way, include the status and timeline of the necessary Caltrans approvals and documents, the status and timeline of Caltrans
requirements, and approvals such as planning documents (PSR or equivalent)
95

Describe the project’s timeline and status, as well as the sponsor’s ability to meet the September 30, 2022 obligation deadline.
The proposed project is construction ready. The City has been working closely with
UPRR to prepare the project for construction. Once the City is able to secure funding,
the City will enter into an agreement with UPRR and obligate funds. The project
timeline is 12 months, which would meet the September 30, 2022 obligation
deadline.
Identify any known risks to the project schedule, and how the CTA and project
sponsor will mitigate and respond to those risks.
The CPUC approval for the proposed project expires in March of 2022. City staff will
request for a permit extension concurrently as it seeks grant funds to construct the
project.
Describe the sponsor’s ability to meet state and federal requirements after fund obligation. Include confirmation of ability to award within 6 months of obligation and
a discussion of the agency’s delivery history for federal funds; note any documented internal processes in place to ensure full adherence to invoicing and timely use of funds policies, and describe CTA’s role in delivery and monitoring.
The City has engineering project managers with many years of experience working
directly on federal grants and processes and working together with Caltrans
overseeing various projects. City staff has completed several E-76 procedures to
obligate funds into construction projects. This project can be awarded within 6
months because the City has been working directly with UPRR throughout the design
phase and UPRR is the agency that will construct the project.

June 9, 2021 Agenda Item 4a - 21-0695
MTC Resolution No. 4202, Revised
Subject: Revisions to the One Bay Area Grant (OBAG 2) program, including programming
of $83 million to various projects within the Safe and Seamless Mobility Quick-
Strike program.
Background: In January 2021, the Commission adopted the policy and programming framework
for the $54.4 million Safe and Seamless Mobility Quick-Strike program. Last
month, the Commission augmented the program with $34.6 million in federal
Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA)
highway infrastructure funds, for a program total of $89 million.1
As approved, the Safe and Seamless Mobility Quick-Strike program is separated
into two components: 1) a county program for local projects nominated by the nine
Bay Area County Transportation Agencies (CTAs), including funding for CTA
planning and programming; and 2) a regional program for regional and corridor
projects, including funding for regional planning activities, and funding set aside for
early implementation of the Blue-Ribbon Transit Recovery Taskforce.
Safe and Seamless Mobility Quick-Strike Programming Framework
Subtotal:

Regional and Corridor Projects $14.5
Blue Ribbon Task Force $5.9
Subtotal: $22.3
Total: $89.1
Project Prioritization Process
MTC staff released a call for project nominations in February 2021. CTAs were
invited to nominate projects for their county area to encourage community-based
project investments and address local needs throughout the region. Initial funding
targets were provided to CTAs to guide the development of project nominations by
county; however, the final funding levels for each county were not guaranteed to
correspond exactly to these initial targets. The final program of projects is based on
the evaluation of individual projects with consideration given to geographic balance
and reflect regional priorities.
MTC received 71 project nominations from CTAs by the March 2021 deadline, for
a total grant request of more than $108 million. MTC staff evaluated all projects
1 The amount of federal CRRSAA highway infrastructure funds has been updated since the May Committee meeting to
reflect the final allocation numbers provided by the California Transportation Commission.
COMMISSION AGENDA ITEM 10d

against the evaluation criteria established in the program guidelines, as summarized
below.
Alignment with the Connected Mobility Framework Values and Goals.
Relationship to priority planning areas including, but not limited to, Priority
Development Areas (PDAs) and Communities of Concern (CoCs).
Inclusion of community engagement.
Addressing a gap in transit connectivity.
Demonstration of partnership among multiple partners.
Ability to deliver the project quickly while meeting all federal funding
requirements.
In April, staff presented its initial project recommendations to the Bay Area
Partnership Board. Staff also shared its proposal to recommend using available
CRRSAA highway infrastructure funds to the augment the program and fund
additional projects. Based on feedback received from CTAs at the meeting, MTC
invited CTAs that had limited their initial nominations to their county targets to
submit a limited number of additional project nominations or revised funding
requests.
Recommendation
Staff recommends programming $83 million to 64 projects as summarized in Tables
1 and 2 below and detailed in Attachment 1.
Staff recommends distributing the nearly $67 million available for county and local
projects to 58 projects throughout the Bay Area. Of this amount, more than $42
million (65%) is directed to bicycle and pedestrian investments.
Table 1. Summary Recommendation - County and Local Component
County # Projects Grant Total
Alameda 11 $12.0
Contra Costa 5 $8.6
Marin 3 $3.2
Napa 3 $1.3
San Francisco 5 $10.6
San Mateo 7 $5.0
Santa Clara 10 $17.1
Solano 6 $4.6
Sonoma 8 $4.5
Total: 58 $66.8
From the roughly $22 million available for regional and corridor projects, staff
recommends funding four projects co-nominated by CTAs and MTC, two regional
planning projects, and reserving nearly $6 million for projects of interest to the
Blue-Ribbon Transit Recovery Task Force (see Table 2, below). These reserved
funds would be programmed through a future Commission action later this summer
to strengthen alignment between investments and Task Force priorities.

As part of this programming action, staff also proposes to direct $1 million in
project savings from prior federal funding cycles to VTA for Diridon Station
Planning and Studies, within the Regional Strategic Initiatives program (Table 3,
below). This funding continues MTC’s support for the development of this major
rail infrastructure project. This programming action is in addition to proposed
programming for the Safe and Seamless Mobility Quick-Strike program.
Table 3. Supplemental Funding (Prior Cycle Cost Savings)
Santa Clara VTA: Diridon Station Planning and Studies PDA Planning and

Coordination with State Active Transportation Program (ATP):
The Governor’s May Budget Revise proposes a one-time $500 million infusion for
Active Transportation projects. The CTC is proposing to use these funds to select
additional high-scoring Cycle 5 ATP projects. One project recommended for a Safe
and Seamless Mobility Quick-Strike award could potentially receive funding
through the augmented ATP. SFMTA’s Folsom Streetscape project is
recommended for $5 million in Quick-Strike funding. If the project is awarded
additional ATP funding, an equivalent amount of Safe and Seamless Mobility
Quick-Strike funds would be redirected to San Francisco County Transportation
Authority’s (SFCTA) Yerba Buena Island Westside Bridges Seismic Retrofit
project.

Further, MTC staff are continuing to work with the SFCTA and SFMTA to confirm
project prioritization between the Folsom Streetscape project and YBI Westside
Bridges Seismic Retrofit project, ahead of approval of the Safe and Seamless
Mobility Quick-Strike program of projects by the Commission.
Issues: TIP Programming Conditioned Upon Program Compliance:
Project sponsors must meet several requirements outlined in the Safe and Seamless
Mobility Quick-Strike guidelines. These requirements include the adoption of a
resolution of local support for the project and a resolution affirming compliance
with the Surplus Land Act. Staff will work with CTAs and project sponsor staff to
ensure all requirements are met as part of MTC’s management of the Transportation
Improvement Program (TIP).

RE: Safe & Seamless Mobility Quick Strike Program – Support & Partnership for the
SMART Pathway McInnis to Smith Ranch Road Project in San Rafael
Dear Ms. McMillan:
The City of San Rafael would like to express support for this SMART Pathway project
and is pleased to partner with SMART on the submittal of the Safe & Seamless Mobility
Quick Strike Program request for $1,858,026 in funds to complete the project. SMART
will be the implementing agency and provide up to $535,000 in local matching funds.
This San Francisco Bay Trail/SMART Pathway project will link the McInnis Regional
Park and Smith Ranch Road area to the SMART Marin Civic Center Station and the
Marin Civic Center and its services. At the SMART Marin Civic Center Station there are
connections to additional SMART Pathway segments and the City’s bicycle network to
our Terra Linda and Central San Rafael neighborhoods. This pathway segment is a
critical gap closure for the San Francisco Bay Trail and would provide a direct, non-
motorized connection to McInnis Regional Park, a Healthy Parks Healthy People
participating location.
Marin County’s McInnis Regional Park is a 450-acre park with multi-use sports and
outdoor activity facilities, including a skate park, batting cages, softball/soccer fields,
tennis courts, a group picnic area and nature trails. Currently pedestrians and bicyclists
would have to travel nearly 3-miles along a hilly, high traffic volume/speed route that
passes two un-metered Highway 101 ramps to reach McInnis park from the SMART
Station. This project would continue from the existing Bay Trail on McInnis Parkway and
construct a level, paved bicycle/pedestrian facility along .85 miles of the SMART
railroad right-of-way, with two crossings over Las Gallinas Creek.
We encourage you to fully fund construction of this project as it will provide needed
bicycle/pedestrian connectivity between a regional rail station and regionally significant
outdoor recreational facilities, the SF Bay Trail and Marin County’s McInnis Regional
Park. More access to nature is needed now as communities and families continue to
manage their health and lives during the COVID pandemic.
Sincerely,
Kate Colin,
Mayor

Subject:9/21 Council meeting Item 2.1 - Railroad Mitigation Improvements Contract with BKF Engineers

Council members,
The agenda item says "Authorize a new contract with BKF Engineers in the amount of
$120,000 for the design of the four mitigation sites as part of the Blue Hills Pedestrian
Railroad Crossing Project."
I skimmed the contract.
The contract scope of work is a letter from BKF in August as follow-up to a May
meeting.
I read the BKF letter.
I see the word concept used many times.
I see 3 phases 0, 1, and 2.
I see these statements regarding phase 2
"Phase 2 Concept Plan to be prepared by BKF Engineers. Project funding
has not been obtained and thus construction timeline is TBD."
"The concept plan is not intended for construction and will require work
completed in future tasks to be bid to construction."
Another statement of interest
"GO-88B applications for each of the 4 crossings will be required, but are
not included in this proposal. BKF will develop a separate proposal to
develop the CPUC applications for this effort."
The last page of the letter includes the following statement
"Proposed scope of work does not include final design ... "
It seems what this contract really funds is negotiation with UP and CPUC to define
the details of what UP wants Saratoga to pay for at the four existing crossings.
135
After studying the BKF scope of work it seems that not only is significantly more work
required by BKF or another firm and not all needed construction is funded.
In my earlier e-mail suggesting the project be terminated, which is attached, I
estimated one or two students would use the crossing. Since then I contacted
Cupertino Union School District requesting Blue Hills enrolment data (response
attached). This is what I learned:
Total enrolment - 405
Students on the wrong side of the UP tracks - 6
Students on the wrong side of 85 - 50
Students not living in the attendance area - 79
This data coupled with my personal observation that only seven or eight students use
the 85 crossing to get to Blue Hills makes my estimate of only one or two students
would use the new crossing very
reasonable.
I'd like to add a couple other points to consider as you decide on this contract
I live close to the Cox crossing. I no longer hear trains. I'd bet there are none.
I contacted County Supervisor Joe Simitian's office inquiring about his proposal that
the county consider purchasing the site and learned:
1) Neither the quarry or kilns are operating. They have no idea if or when if Lehigh
will resume operations at the site.
2) From the Santa Clara County HLUET meeting Sept 15, 2022 item 9 staff report
"The County also recently initiated discussions with the Quarry regarding terminating
mining and cement production activities at the property and evaluating potential future
uses of the property."
My conclusion -- not only is any expenditure unwarranted but the tracks may not be
used again.
In summary, I am requesting the Council not authorize the contract with BKF. No
additional funds should be spent on this project until the council votes to specifically
continue the Blue Hills Elementary Pedestrian Crossing. This should happen as soon
as possible but no later than March of 2023 when the Capital Improvement Projects
are reviewed and prioritized.
Thank you,
Bill Dalton

Subject: Blue Hills Elementary Pedestrian Crossing at Union Pacific Railroad
(UPRR)
Hello Council Members,
I would like to ask for a motion or motions for the following at the September 7
Council Meeting:
An agenda item at the next council meeting to consider canceling the Blue Hills
Elementary Pedestrian Crossing at Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR)
Request staff produce a report showing how much Saratoga can save by
canceling the current contracts and avoiding future additional spending
I know considerable funds have been spent on this project. However it is my opinion
the remaining spending on current contracts and required future spending of of
Saratoga matching funds is not justified by the benefit. And the project certainly is not
worth the 1.8 million in grant funds.
Here is why I say this:
There are approximately 133 homes on the wrong side of the tracks whose
children would attend Blue Hills
There are approximately 719 homes on the wrong side of 85 whose children
would attend Blue Hills
Blue Hills School is a kindergarten/5th grade elementary school.
How many children is it realistic to expect the use the railroad crossing to walk or bike
to school?
My answer -- less than 5 at the most and more likely 1 or 2 based on my
observations. I've been to Kevin Moran Park at 7:30 to see how many children
crossed over 85 instead of being driven to school -- less than 10.
I am told the contracts with Union Pacific in the amount of $100,000 and BKF
Engineers $172,940 can be canceled and unspent funds saved.
One additional point. John tells me negotiations with Union Pacific are still ongoing
and demands for unrelated changes by Union Pacific as a condition for allowing the
Blue Hills crossing may cost more than the grant intended to be the primary source of
funding.
In conclusion, is spending another $100,000 or more so 1 or 2 children are not
driven to school a prudent decision? I say no and request a review of this project to
consider cancelation ASAP.
137
Thank you,
Bill Dalton

September 21, 2022
Dear Esteemed Council Members,
It is with gratitude and anticipation that I am tracking the Blue Hills Pedestrian Railroad
Crossing project as it continues to move forward. Over the past decade-plus, many
iterations of City Councils have been supportive and made choices that will bring this
project to light, and the city staff have worked diligently to find solutions mutually
agreeable to the City, the CPUC, and the Union Pacific Railroad, and more importantly have
doggedly worked to secure grant funding for construction. Through it all, our community
is excited at the prospect of being re-connected and having access once again to
the schools, shops, trails, and friends we used to enjoy by foot and bicycle.
When my family moved to Saratoga in 1996, we were delighted that Saratoga neighbors could
freely pass across the open railroad tracks by foot/bike/stroller, between Fredericksburg Drive
and Lido Way/Guava Court. Countless times we walked and wheeled our four children to
school, parks, and friends, as did others in our neighborhood with their own children. In fact
my neighbor's girls used to walk to Blue Hills using the open crossing ... in 1968! Then in
2007 I accompanied my son Cameron, youngest of our four children, as he rode his bike to
school one morning in his first week of second grade at Blue Hills and surprisingly as I
returned home and approached the crossing, it was being fenced up! That afternoon I drove to
pick him up, along with his bike, and we've been driving ever since.
For years we, our neighbors and community, have reached out to City Councils to correct
this closure and have continued to hope that the crossing would be re-opened soon ~
"maybe by middle school", "maybe by high school", "maybe by college", and most recently
"maybe by college graduation". It's been a long time since that day in 2007 when the open
crossing became closed. Along the way my own kids have grown up and there are now new
140
families in the neighborhood who are hoping the crossing will be re-opened soon, "maybe
by kindergarten".
This Blue Hills Pedestrian Railroad Crossing project is so much more than "kids going to
school". It's about reconnecting a community that has for too long been wrongly divided by
the closure. It's about giving one neighborhood access to the wonderful Joe's Trail and all it
offers, as well as routes to the Argonaut Center and more, and giving another neighborhood
pedestrian access to schools, parks, and places of worship. It's about investing in a project
that upgrades our city infrastructure and extensively benefits the entire Saratoga
community: while named for just one crossing location, the project scope ensures safety
upgrades at other railroad crossings throughout the city, significantly subsidized by grant
funding. It's about fostering Saratoga's charming character of being able to walk and bike
and be with our friends and neighbors.
It is my sincerest hope that you recognize the benefits to our City of Saratoga community
and continue to support this Blue Hills Pedestrian Railroad Crossing project.
Sincerely,
Joan and Neil Holland, and family
Saratoga residents since 1996

DEPARTMENT:Public Works
PREPARED BY:John Cherbone, Public Works Director
SUBJECT:Landscaping &Lighting Assessment District LLA-1; Resolutions initiating
renewal of the District for FY 23-24.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Move to allow automated license plate readers as an allowable improvement for the District in
the Description of Improvements.
2. Move to adopt the Resolution describing improvements and directing preparation of the
Engineer’s Report for FY 23-24
3. Move to adopt the Resolution appointing the Attorneys for the District for FY 23-24.
REPORT SUMMARY:
Each year the City Council must adopt a series of resolutions to provide for ongoing funding and
operation of the City’s Landscaping and Lighting District. The attached resolutions begin that
process. This year, staff is proposing that the City Council expand the list of authorized
improvements to include automated license plate readers as discussed in more detail below.
Attached are two Resolutions the City Council must adopt to initiate the annual process of
renewing the Landscaping & Lighting Assessment District LLA-1 for the upcoming fiscal year
beginning on July 1 and/or annex new Zones. A summary of each Resolution is as follows:
1.Resolution describing improvements and directing preparation of the Engineer’s
Report -This is the Resolution required under Streets & Highways Code Section 22622 to
initiate the annual renewal process for the existing assessment district and the annexation of
new Zones for the ensuing fiscal year. The Resolution references the proposed
improvements to be provided by the district (Exhibit A to the Resolution) and directs the
preparation of the Engineer’s Report required under S&H Code Section 22565. Exhibit A
142
includes automated license plate readers as an authorized improvement; staff will remove this
addition if Council directs.
2.Resolution appointing Attorneys -This Resolution appoints the City Attorney’s office as
the attorneys for the District throughout the renewal process and limits their fees in
connection with this work to $500.
The provisions of SB 919 (The Proposition 218 Omnibus Implementation Act) adopted by the
State legislature in 1997, (Chapter 38, Stats. 1997), and which became effective on July 1, 1997,
will be implemented during the renewal process if necessary.
Procedurally this means that assessment ballots will be mailed to those property owners within
the District whose initial proposed assessments are either 1) higher than in any previous year and
who have not previously voted on their assessments, 2) higher than what was authorized via
balloting conducted in a previous year, or 3) annexation of new Zones. As in previous years,
ballots will be separately tabulated at the close of the Protest Hearing for each Zone that may be
voting. Only those ballots returned by the close of the Protest Hearing will count towards
determining whether a majority protest exists.
Automatic License Plate Readers
In February 2022, the City Council authorized a 1-year Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR)
pilot program with Flock Safety. The City’s 7 camera system captures images of vehicle license
plates, compares plate numbers against law enforcement databases (such as those for stolen
vehicles or outstanding warrants), and alerts the Sheriff’s Office when a match is identified so that
a deputy can be deployed to investigate. The pilot program officially started in August 2022 when
installation of all 7 cameras was completed.
One of the features of the Flock ALPR system is that residents and neighborhoods with their own
Flock cameras may enable sharing of license plate data with the City system. If a private camera
detects a license plate on a law enforcement database, the Sheriff’s Office will be notified and
deployed to the camera location, just as they would if one of the City’s 7 cameras detected a license
plate match. Consequently, several neighborhoods, including Greenbrier and Bellgrove, have
reached out to the City Council to express a desire to place Flock cameras at the entrance of their
neighborhoods in the public right of way. While the City allows placement of private cameras in
the public right of way with an encroachment permit, only formal Homeowners Associations with
articles of incorporation filed with the California Secretary of State are eligible for the
encroachment permit for private security cameras.
The proposed Resolution (Attachment A) would provide neighborhoods (including those that do
not have a formal Homeowners Association) an option to request the City to install ALPR
camera(s) in the public right within their LLA Zone and funded by their assessment. Any cameras
funded under this model would be part of a City agreement with Flock, which means only the
Sheriff’s Office would have access to camera data. Under the City’s agreement with Flock, the
annual lease amount per camera is currently $2,500 plus $250 for camera installation. These costs
may vary over time.

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE:September 21, 2022
DEPARTMENT:Community Development Department
PREPARED BY:Keith Weiner,Building Official
SUBJECT:Discussion of Silicon Valley Clean Energy and Valley Water Reach Codes
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends that the City Council receive the report and provide direction to staff.
BACKGROUND:
Silicon Valley Clean Energy (SVCE) is a community owned agency providing energy to thirteen
communities in Santa Clara County. SVCE buys energy from environmentally responsible sources
that are renewable and carbon free.The power continues to be delivered via PG&E transmission
lines.Valley Water is the water purveyor for Santa Clara County.
On April 5, 2022,the City signed a letter of intent to consider the adoption of reach codes as put
forth by SVCE. Reach codes are amendments that exceed the requirements enforced by the 2022
California Building Codes in the interest of lowering carbon emissions. The code amendments
proposed apply to new construction, are cost efficient and provide reduced greenhouse gas
emissions for the life of the building.
On January 1, 2023,the City will adopt the 2022 California Building Codes (Title 24 of the
California Code of Regulations); the reach codes can be adopted simultaneously.
DISCUSSION:
On January 1, 2020, the City of Saratoga enacted reach codes requiring new residential buildings
to utilize electric heat pumps to heat homes and provide hot water. Other appliances within the
home could be gas appliances if dedicated electrical circuits were supplied to each appliance
location to allow replacement with an electrical appliance.Exterior gas appliances and Accessory
Dwelling Units) ADUs were exempt from this code.
For the 2022 code update, SCVE is again proposing reach codes for the City’s consideration.
Adoption of any part of these amendments will serve to demonstrate the City’s commitment to
energy conservation and advance Saratoga toward the State of California’s goal of reducing
greenhouse gas emissions to 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050.
149
In addition, for this code cycle the Santa Clara County Water Efficient New Development Task
Force has brought forth a Model Water Efficient New Development Ordinance to ensure that new
development is poised to be water efficient in order to extend the region’s water supplies.
The proposed code amendments can be broken down into three main parts with a range of options
the for the City Council to consider within each part:
1. Additional building electrification options:
a) Banning natural gas and allowing only electric sources
b) Allowing gas only for cooking appliances
c) Removing the exception for ADU’s
d) Removing the exception for exterior gas appliances
Of the four items listed above, staff recommends adding items b & c to the 2022 code update.
2. Additional electric vehicle charging options:
Currently one EV charger circuit raceway is required to be installed the garage, this is termed
“capable” as the conduit must be in place and there must be room for the proper sized circuit
breaker in the electrical panel. A second EV charger raceway must be installed outside of the
garage and one of these raceways must be wired. Proposed amendments by SVCE are:
a) New one- and two-family dwellings to have one level 2 Ready Space (40 amp) and one
level 1 ready space (20 amps)
b) New multifamily dwellings with shared parking facilities:
1) 40% of dwelling units with parking spaces shall be EVCS
2) 60% of dwelling units with parking spaces shall be Level 1 Ready Spaces
c) Existing parking facilities: When new parking facilities are added or new electrical or new
lighting of existing parking facilities are added, and the work requires a permit, 10% of the
total spaces added or altered shall be EVCS
Staff recommends including all three options into the 2022 code update.
3. Water conservation measures proposed by Valley Water:
a) Installation of greywater systems in new construction and for applicable remodels
b) Installation of drain water heat revery systems
c) Requirement for compact hot water distribution systems
d) Hot water recirculation systems
e) Onsite non-potable water systems
Of the five items listed above, staff recommends adding items a & d to the 2022 code update.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Staff time devoted to preparing the adoption resolution and at meetings pertaining to the reach
codes and their adoption will be covered by the $10,000.00 grant provided by SVCE to all Cities
that have signed a letter of intent to consider the adoption of the codes.
