Standard Provisions
WORK PROGRAM
Prior to commencement of construction, the Grantee shall submit to the
Executive Officer for review and written approval as to its consistency
with the terms of this Agreement, a detailed Work Program including (1)
construction plans and specifications which have been certified by a
registered architect or engineer, or approved by the Grantee's Public
Works Director; (2) a Schedule of Completion for the Project
specifically listing the completion date for each separable Project
component and a Final Project Completion Date; and (3) a detailed
Project Budget. The Project Budget shall describe all labor and
materials costs to be incurred to complete the relevant component of
the Project, and shall also contain a listing of all intended funding
sources to complete the relevant component, including the Conservancy's
grant and all other sources of monies, materials, or labor. The
Grantee also shall review and explain the plans on site with staff of
the Conservancy.
Where all or a portion of the construction to be funded under this
Agreement will be performed by third parties under contract with the
Grantee, prior to initiating any request for contractor bids, the
Grantee shall submit for review and written approval of the Executive
Officer the bid package including construction plans and specifications
which have been certified or approved as described above. Upon
approval by the Executive Officer, the Grantee shall proceed with the
bidding process. The Grantee shall thereafter comply with the above
paragraph regarding submission and approval of a Work Program prior to
construction.
The Work Program shall have the same force and effect as if included in
the text of this Agreement but may be modified without amendment of
this Agreement upon submission of a modified Work Program and written
approval thereof by the Executive Officer. In the event of
inconsistency between the language of this Agreement and of the Work
Program, the language of this Agreement shall be controlling.
The Grantee shall construct the Project in accordance with the approved
Work Program.
BONDING
In the event that the Grantee intends to use any sub -contractors)
other than the California Conservation Corps to complete the
construction of any portion of the Project to be funded under this
Agreement, construction shall not commence until such sub-contractor(s)
City of San Rafael
Contract No. 87-054
Page Five
BONDING (continued)
has furnished a performance bond in favor of the Conservancy and the
Grantee, in the following amounts: for faithful performance, one
hundred percent (100%) of the contract value; and for labor and
materials, one hundred percent (100%) of the contract value. This
requirement shall not apply to any subcontract for less than $20,000.
SIGNS
In addition to the other Project components described herein, the
Grantee shall erect signs visible from the nearest public roadway
directing the public to the Project. In addition, the Grantee shall
put up placards acknowledging Conservancy assistance, unless Grantee
incorporates this acknowledgement into other signage in a manner
approved by the Executive Officer. Such placards shall be provided by
the Conservancy to the Grantee for this purpose. Plans describing the
number, design, placement, and wording of such signs and placards shall
be submitted to the Conservancy for review and written approval prior
to construction of the Project. Final reimbursement may be withheld by
the Conservancy pending placement of the signs and placards in the
manner approved by the Conservancy.
COSTS AND DISBURSENENTS
Upon determination by the Conservancy that all "CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO
CONSTRUCTION AND DISBURSEMENT" have been fully met, the Conservancy
agrees to disburse to the Grantee, in accordance with the approved
Project Budget, a total amount not to exceed the amount of this grant
as follows:
Disbursements shall be made on the basis of costs incurred to date,
less ten percent (10%), upon satisfactory progress in accordance with
the approved Work Program and upon submission of a "Request for
Disbursement" form, which shall be submitted no more frequently than
monthly but no less frequently than quarterly. Disbursement of the ten
percent (10%) so withheld shall be made upon satisfactory completion of
construction of the Project and compliance with the "Project
Completion" section of this Agreement.
The Grantee shall request disbursements by filing with the Conservancy
fully executed "Request for Disbursement" forms (available from the
Conservancy) which contain the name and address of the Grantee, the
number of this Agreement, the date of the submittal, the amount of the
City of San Rafael
Contract No. 87-054
Page Six
COST AND DISBURSEMENTS (continued)
invoice, the period during which the work was actually done, an
itemized description of all work done for which disbursement is
requested, and the signature of an official authorized by the Grantee
to sign such invoices. Additionally, each form shall be accompanied by
any supporting invoices or other source documents from sub -contractors
hired by the Grantee to complete any portion of the Project funded
under this Agreement, and shall be accompanied by written
substantiation of completion of the portion of the Project for which
disbursement is requested. Failure to fully execute and submit a
Request for Disbursement form, including attachment of supporting
documents, will relieve the Conservancy of its obligation to disburse
funds to the Grantee unless and until all deficiencies in the form are
rectified.
EXPENDITURE OF FUNDS AND ALLOCATION OF FUNDING AMONG BUDGET ITEMS
The Grantee shall expend funds in the manner described in the approved
Project Budget. The allocation of the Conservancy's total grant among
various items contained in such Budget may vary by as much as ten
percent (10%) without approval by the Executive Officer. Any
difference in the allocation among budget items of over ten percent
must be approved in writing by the Executive Officer. The Conservancy
may withhold payment for changes in particular budget items which
exceed the amount allocated in the Project Budget by more than ten
percent and which have not received the approval required above. The
total amount of this grant may not be increased except by amendment to
this Agreement, and any increase in the funding for any particular
budget item shall mean a decrease in the funding for one or more other
budget items unless there is a written amendment to this Agreement.
PROJECT COMPLETION
Within ninety (90) days of completion of construction of the Project,
the Grantee shall supply the Conservancy with evidence of such
completion by submitting a final report which includes: (1) an
inspection report by a registered architect or engineer or the
Grantee's Public Works Director certifying completion of the Project
according to the approved Work Program; (2) a fully executed final
"Request for Disbursement" form; and (3) "as built" drawings of the
completed Project.

EARLY TERMINATION AND FAILURE TO PERFORM
Prior to the completion of construction of the Project, either party
may terminate this Agreement for any reason by providing the other
party with seven (7) days notice in writing.
In the event of termination by the Conservancy, prior to the completion
of construction, the Grantee agrees to take all reasonable measures to
prevent further costs to the Conservancy under this Agreement, and the
Conservancy shall be responsible for any reasonable and non -cancellable
obligation incurred by the Grantee in the performance of this Agreement
until the date of the notice to terminate, but only up to the
undisbursed balance of funding authorized in this Agreement.
In the event that the Grantee fails to complete the Project in
accordance with this Agreement, or fails to fulfill any other
obligations of this Agreement prior to the Termination Date, the
Grantee shall be liable for immediate repayment to the Conservancy of
all amounts disbursed by the Conservancy under this Agreement. The
Conservancy may, at its sole discretion, consider extenuating
circumstances and not require repayment for work partially completed.
This paragraph shall not be deemed to limit any other remedies the
Conservancy may have for breach of this Agreement.

facilities and structures and the Conservancy shall not be liable for
any cost of such maintenance, management, or operation. The Grantee
may be excused from its obligations for operation and maintenance
during the term of this Agreement only upon the written approval of the
Executive Officer.

STATE COASTAL CONSERVANCY
Project Synopsis I
January 21, 1988
SHORELINE PARK, MARSH -POND ACCESS AREA
APPLICANT: City of San Rafael
PROJECT SUMMARY: Shoreline bike/pedestrian pathway between Point San Quen-
tin and the San Rafael Canal.
FUNDING REQUESTED: $241,725
FUNDING
RECOMMENDED:
STAFF DISCUSSION:
Project Description -
$65,395
The project would provide a levee -top bicycle/pedestrian
pathway between the bay and a water reclamation pond
owned by the City.
The City proposed several project components, including a
pathway, wetland enhancement, an observation deck, and
replacement of a wooden pier. Proposed enhancement of
the wetland wildlife habitat value of the pond is required by
a mitigation plan, which was a permit condition resulting
from Bay fill in a previous project, and funding is not
recommended for this portion of the grant application. Two
other elements of the proposal are also not recommended
for funding at this time: 1) an observation deck overlooking
the Bay, and 2) replacing a wooden pier into the pond
which then could be used by the public.
The proposed path would connect with an existing pathway
to the south of the project site, and eventually hook up to
the existing "Pickleweed Park" to the north. The project
site is nominally "open" at this time, but the narrow foot-
path is hazardous at worst, and uninviting at best. The
entire stretch of Bay shoreline between Point San Quentin
and the San Rafael Canal was designated by BCDC as being
an "exceptional shoreline site", and an attractive, safe
pathway at the project location would open up access to the
area for use by many groups, including people with disabili-
ties.
Staff recommends that other components of the proposal be
eliminated, as they are either required by permit conditions
(habitat enhancement), or would adversely impact wildlife
using this very small pond (observation pier with railing).
The observation platform overlooking the Bay, while a nice
feature, is not needed to open access along the Bay's edge,
A111
and might better be left to another year's funding, given
the gap between proposals and available funding this year.
CONFORMANCE TO THE
SELECTION CRITERIA: Priority Group: 1
Creates new access/fills in gap in shoreline trail.
Rank: 5 (tie)
1. Serves Greater than Local Need: The project site is
located in a developing area near the junction of Highways
101 and I-580. Its proximity to Pickleweed Park to the
north, and the plans for future access improvements along
the entire shoreline band, should encourage use by local and
regional groups of visitors. County residents and visitors
jog, bicycle, walk, fish, wind surf and bird watch along the
currently developed portions of the shoreline band.
2. San Francisco Bay Plan/Local Jurisdction plan consis-
tency: The project is consistent with the Bay Plan, and a
condition of an earlier BCDC permit to the applicant re-
quires that the project area be kept open to the public,
although it did not require that access improvements be
constructed.
3. Consistency with Conservancy Access Standards: The
proposed project design and construction are consistent with
Conservancy Access standards, specifically standards 1, 2,
and 10. By eliminating the access onto the pier which
serves the overflow valve, the project would be consistent
with standard 5, as well.
4. Increased Access: The project is located near a newly
completed street end cul-de-sac, which will provide parking.
There are many light industrial/office complex
buildings nearby with a growing number of workers who
could make use of the proposed pathway during the week.
A safe, inviting pathway along the Bay shoreline should
increase use of the area by many people on the week -ends,
especially birders, as well.
5. Matching Funds: No matching funds are secured. The
applicant believes that some other funds could be made
available if the Conservancy grant is approved.
6. CEQA Compliance: A Negative Declaration of Environ-
mental Impacts has been prepared for this project (Initial
Study attached), finding that the proposed project will have
no significant effect on the environment. Staff concurs
with this finding.
7. Urgency: The site is currently unsafe for use by the
public. The surrounding inland area is being rapidly deve-
loped, and this is creating a need for more public access
A112
along the shoreline. These two factors add to the need for
quickly building the proposed pathway.
8. Innovation and Design Excellence: The proposed pathway
is not particularly innovative. The parts of the proposal
not recommended for funding were directed toward providing
an innovative mixture of public access and habitat enhance-
ment, but the small size of the pond makes the pier element
not only unnecessary, but overly intrusive.
9. Cost -Effectiveness: A reduced scope for the project
increases the cost-effectiveness of the proposed project.
Given the anticipated expanded use of the site once the
trail is completed, this is well within the range of expense
for projects of this type. Staff recommends that the appli-
cant apply for a Marin Community Foundation grant, and
contract with the Marin Conservation Corps to further
reduce costs.
10. Operation and Maintenance: The applicant, through its
City Parks Department, will operate and maintain the access
improvements.
PROJECT BUDGET: Preliminary cost estimate:

$36,750
AC pavement
7,500
Landscaping
73,300
Deck and Pier
55,000

TOTAL $241,725
Proposed Grant Award: $65,395
(earthwork, AC pavement, benches, bollards, gate, fence,
10% engineering & design)
SCHEDULE: Final design/permits: 5/88 Bid award: 6/88
Construction begins: 7/88 Construction completed: 10/88
CONCLUSION: The bicycle/pedestrian pathway portion of the proposed
project will add a link in the shoreline trail, and the City
Pond can provide an unique experience for visitors to the
area. Staff recommends funding the pathway. The habitat
enhancement work is the subject of a previous permit
condition, and therefore not eligible for funding under the
Conservancy's stated policy. The pier jutting into the pond
raises questions of unwarranted intrusion into the very
habitat proposed for enhancement. The observation deck is
expensive and does not provide the basic access of the
pathway, and could therefore be deferred.
Al 13
SPECIAL GRANT
AWARD CONDITIONS: "1. The applicant either: (a) shall contract with the Marin
Conservation Corps to provide the labor for the ele-
ments funded by the Conservancy grant, except for the
AC paving, in which case the amount of this grant
shall be reduced to reflect the savings in labor costs
realized, or (b) shall agree to apply for a grant from
the Marin Community Foundation to fund other por-
tions of the project."
FINDINGS: "The Conservancy has reviewed the negative declaration
prepared by the City of San Rafael which determines that
the project would have no significant effect on the envi-
ronment, and concurs with this finding."
