APPROVED BY: Doug Willmore, City Manager"
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
The City of El Segundo has been allocated $8,550 in State Homeland Security Grant Program
(SHSGP) funding, as part of a regional effort to provide federally mandated radio programming.
The grant is funded through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which is then passed
through the California Office of Emergency Management (CalEMA), and then to the local area
through the County of Los Angeles.
Under the SHSGP 2010 program, the City was awarded $8,550 to program its existing radio
equipment to comply with the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) requirement
regarding radio frequencies. The FCC's mandate essentially requires all existing radio
frequencies be split into two, which is more commonly known as "Narrowbanding ". The
SHSGP 2010 grant award will assist with the cost of programming the Fire Department's
portable and mobile radio equipment.
023
In accordance with the City Council Policy regarding grant submissions:
1. The grant award is made by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, through the
Office of Grants and Training. The grant is administered by the County of Los Angeles
and is overseen by the CalEMA.
2. The total amount being requested is: $8,550
3. Matching Funds Cost -Share — n/a
4. Source of Matching Funds Cost Share: n/a

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
Over a period of years, empty 2 -inch and 4 -inch conduits were installed underneath City streets
during other construction projects in anticipation of fiber optically connecting all City facilities.
These facilities are currently connect via cable are adequate for basic email connectivity but have
limited capabilities to accept large files or support newer technology systems such as GIS. The
fiber project will provide significantly faster connection, increase overall system reliability and
allow for expanded networking opportunities. It is also needed to roll out the City's new voice
over internet protocol (VOIP) phones to non -City Hall facilities.
The proposed project will: 1) verify the usability of the existing conduits, 2) identify the gaps
and missing links in the conduit to reach all City facilities and 3) install new 2 -inch and 4 -inch
PVC conduits to close those conduit gaps such these facilities are ready to be connected. After
completion of the conduit installation, the system will be ready for the next phase, fiber optic
cabling.

Amount Budgeted: $0

Account Number(s): 114- 400 -5293 -6206
ORIGINATED BY: Meredith Petit, Recreation Superintendent
REVIEWED BY: Bob Cummings, Director of Recreation and Parks
APPROVED BY: Doug Willmore, City Manager iit/v`'
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
Since August 2006, Beach Cities Transit has operated BCT Line 109 from Redondo Beach to the LAX
Transit Center, passing through the cities of Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, and El Segundo. In July
2006, these South Bay communities came together to collectively fund a portion of the operating costs
for a new BCT Line (designated Line 109), to assume bus service responsibilities in lieu of the
discontinued Metropolitan Transportation Authority's (Metro) Line 439.
BCT, a community -based transit system operated by the City of Redondo Beach, is designated as an
`included operator' in Los Angeles County. As such, BCT is eligible to receive funding from Metro to
partially fund local transit operating expenses. Despite the fact funding is available through Metro,
recent statewide funding reductions to transit agencies have impacted BCT's allocation, leaving the
participating agencies the responsibility to cover the unfunded expenses of operating the service.
Additionally, in the recent past, Metro has jettisoned `regionally underperforming' bus lines, leaving
them to be either picked up by local operators or discontinued entirely. Over the past five years, these
four South Bay communities have supported the operation and evolution of BCT Line 109 to serve the
transit needs of local residents and commuters, as Metro has discontinued routes 439, 124, and 125.
Major Line 109 destinations include the LAX City Bus Center, the Aviation Green Line Station, the 5
2
V 1
Douglas Green Line Station, downtown Manhattan Beach, downtown El Segundo, the Hermosa Beach
Pier, the Redondo Beach Pier, and Riviera Village.
In July 2010 the City Council approved a one -year agreement (July 1, 2010 through June 30, 201 1) to
continue supporting a proportional share of the operational costs of the BCT Line 109. At that time, the
City Council also requested that additional operational statistics be provided in the future to show the
benefit of the service to the community. The total FY 10/11 financial commitment was $66, 289, and
was funded through Proposition C Funds.
To suffice the requests of the participating agencies last July, the City of Redondo Beach released a
Request for Proposal for a Comprehensive Operational Analysis of the BCT Program. After awarding
the contract to Dan Boyle and Associates in early 2011, a final report is scheduled to be released in the
coming weeks. A comprehensive operational analysis provides a detailed description of a transit system
at a given point in time. It involves a substantial data collection effort, analysis that converts the raw
data into useful information, and an assessment of potential improvements to the transit network to
enhance mobility and efficiency.
For the purposes of decision- making, some preliminary information has been provided by the consultant:
• On -board survey results indicate that BCT riders are using transit primarily for work and
school trips: work is the most common trip purpose on weekdays and weekends.
• Riders are more likely to live in Redondo Beach or El Segundo, although BCT attracts
riders from 123 different zip codes.
• Most riders walk to and from their origin and destination, and many riders transfer to or
from other buses or the Metro Green Line.
• Line 109 is the most "regional" route in the BCT network due to its length and its
connections. Average trip lengths are relatively short, suggesting that few passengers ride
the length of the route. Most riders appear to use the Line to reach nearby destinations or
regional transit connections.
• Survey statistics show that El Segundo residents, 16.2% of riders, are the majority of
passengers who ride BCT Line 109. Redondo Beach is 8.1%, Manhattan Beach 4.5 %,
and Hermosa Beach is 3.6 %.
• The segment between Main Street & Holly /Grand Avenue and Aviation Station has the
greatest passenger activity. There is also significant ridership northbound between
Hermosa Avenue & 10'h Street and Douglas Station, especially in the midday and
afternoon. Ridership is highest during the midday.
• The most productive segment on weekdays is southbound between Aviation Station and
Main Street & Grand Avenue in the morning, with 40.3 boardings per revenue hour.
• The most productive segment on weekends is southbound between Aviation Station and
Main Street & Grant Avenue in the evening, with 37.8 boardings per revenue hour on
Saturday and 28.0 boardings per revenue hour on Sunday.
BCT is requesting the City of El Segundo approve another one -year agreement to participate in Line
109, to continue to improve the service and serve the communities' residents, businesses, and
employers. Staff will continue to work cooperatively with the participating agencies to identify and
implement marketing strategies and service modifications as deemed necessary. Due to increased
funds received from Metro and other funding sources, the proportional share for FYI 1/12 is $60,006.

Re: Beach Cities Transit Line 109 Cost Sharing Contribution FY 2011 -12
Dear Ms. Petit,
It has been a pleasure working with you and Ms. Ramos this past year as we improve our cooperative
team efforts for the success of Beach Cities Transit (BCT) Line 109. 1 appreciate your time,
contributions, and commitment to the success of the service.
Over the past nine months the Cities have been involved with improving BCT public information and
promoting the service to the Beach Cities communities. Our continued joint efforts are critical to
achieving our regulatory compliance regarding environmental sustainability and the reduction of our
communities' carbon footprint. Additionally our efforts can play a key role in the Beach Cities Vitality
City Initiative.
In March 2011, Metro issued preliminary transit fundmarks that reflect an increase in the fund
estimates for FY 2011 -12 for transit operators. The BCT Line 109 contribution from the beach cities is
estimated to be lower in than FY 2010 -11; however State Budget issues that affect transportation
funding under the State Transit Fund (STA) account will likely not be available in FY 2011 -12. As a
result, the net contribution amount for FY 11 -12 for the City of El Segundo is estimated to be $60,006,
slightly less than FY 2010 -11 estimates. Attached is a brief summary of the BCT Line 109 service and
cost projections for FY 2011 -12.
We would like to finalize the BCT Line 109 renewal agreement by June 15, 2011, with all parties
obtaining approval of the cost sharing agreement by their respective City Councils by May 31, 2011. 1
will contact you next week to coordinate the agreement process. If you have any questions, please
contact me at (310) 318 -0631, ext. 2670. Thank you for your prompt attention.
Sincerely,
Joyce Rooney, Transit Operations and Transportation Facilities Manager

BCT Line 109
Service Statistics & Operating Information
The service expansions implemented in June 2009 have significantly increased ridership on
the BCT Line 109. Ridership has increased nearly 60°x6 since FY 2006 -07. Statistics show that
BCT Line 109 is a popular route for local commuters, residents and community members.
Ridership is expected to continue to increase in future years as development and traffic
congestion increases, and implementation of "Green Programs" become more important to
the sustainability of the region.
Cost Sharing Investment History FY 2009 -10 and FY 2010 -11
While fare revenues for BCT Line 109 have increased, formula funding allocations received for
operations decreased in Fiscal Years 2009 -10 and 2010 -11 as a result of the downturn of the
economy as Metro's funding allocation distributions are based on sales tax revenue receipts.
Regional funding estimates for FY 2011 -12 are projected to increase; however, BCT is still
experiencing a funding shortfall.
The investments made by the Cities for Fiscal Year 2010 -11 were based on an application of a
credit from the overestimated 2009 -10 shortfall. The additional funds paid to Redondo Beach,
in the amount of $81,127 were credited to the estimated operations shortfall for FY 2010 -11.

operations decreased in Fiscal Years 2009 -10 and 2010 -11 as a result of the downturn of the
economy as Metro's funding allocation distributions are based on sales tax revenue receipts.
Regional funding estimates for FY 2011 -12 are projected to increase; however, BCT is still
experiencing a funding shortfall.
The investments made by the Cities for Fiscal Year 2010 -11 were based on an application of a
credit from the overestimated 2009 -10 shortfall. The additional funds paid to Redondo Beach,
in the amount of $81,127 were credited to the estimated operations shortfall for FY 2010 -11.

BCT Cost Estimates for FY 2011 -12
The expenses included in the cost sharing estimates for BCT Line 109 include the operating
expenses incurred from the transit contractor and fuel expenses.
Metro issued the draft transit formula funding allocation fundmarks for FY 2012 on March 23,
2011. Final cost sharing contributions will be determined in April after Metro approves the
Formula Funding Allocations for the Municipal Operators. In addition, Metro legislative staff
has informed the Municipal Operators that State Transit Assistance (STA) funding may not be
available for operations in FY 2011 -12 if the final State Budget does not include funding,
Based on the preliminary fund marks, two scenarios for the shortfalls and City contributions
are listed in the chart below, base on STA allocations.

ORIGINATED BY: Meredith Petit, Recreation Superintendent *'`
?
REVIEWED BY: Bob Cummings, Director of Recreation and Parks 1
APPROVED BY: Doug Willmore, City Manager
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
The City of El Segundo has participated in the Municipal Area Express (MAX) commuter transit
program since 1991 in cooperation with the cities of Lawndale, Los Angeles, Rancho Palos Verdes,
Torrance, Lomita, and the County of Los Angeles. This transit system operates three routes during peak
morning and afternoon commuting hours and provides a transportation alternative for South Bay area
residents and employees to commute to employment areas east of Sepulveda Blvd. throughout the South
Bay and into areas of L.A. County. The MAX provides service to many large El Segundo businesses and
the Air Force Base.
The City of Torrance remains the lead agency, while the Policy Steering Committee (PSC) made up of
representatives from the participating agencies continues to guide decision making. Historically, the
MAX service has been funded through the city's Proposition A funds, and has registered a savings for
FY 10/11 due to a recent PSC decision to utilize reserve funds to assist in the operational costs of the
final quarter.
Recent developments have modified the MAX service and will become effective July 1, 2011. The City
of Rancho Palos Verdes provided notice to not renew their participation in the service, yielding service
changes and a redefined cost allocation formula. The MAX route Line 2 which originates in Rancho
Palos Verdes will now be truncated to begin service at the bus stop located at Hawthorne Blvd. and
1_ I l] 1
Pacific Coast Highway in the City of Torrance. Furthermore, due to rising cost concerns and the
absorption of costs by the remaining jurisdictions, all three routes will further be modified to offer two
round -trips per day rather than three, with the ultimate goal of operating more efficiently.
Since its inception, the interagency agreement required the participating agencies to subsidize
operational costs on a proportional basis. The City of El Segundo was allocated 8.49% of the costs
shared among the agencies; however, the origination of the formula is unknown. El Segundo's current
financial share for FY 10 /11 was estimated to be $63,880, with the actual $48,616.
With the departure of Rancho Palos Verdes, the Policy Steering Committee approved a newly developed
cost allocation formula that can be deduced using specific data collected on an annual basis that will
ensure equity among all participating agencies. The adopted formula calculates each agency's
proportional share by equal parts of two variables, passenger boardings and route miles. To normalize El
Segundo's light morning boardings and heavy evening boardings, only morning boardings are included
in the formula, while both morning and evening route miles are included. The new proportional share
for the City of El Segundo is 16.5 %.
While the PSC voted to approve the new cost allocation formula on March 7, 2011, they also voted that
agencies be billed at 50% of the cost for the Fourth Quarter of FY 10 /11 and the entire FY 11/12 utilizing
FY 1997 TSE reserve account that must be allocated to operational expenses. Therefore, the new
proportional share for El Segundo would be $79,682.00; however, with each agency being billed at 50%
for FY11 /12, El Segundo's participant contribution would be $39,841 for the year.
For FYI 2/13 it is expected that each agency will be billed for their full share, however the lead agency
cannot anticipate each agency's contribution at this time. There are a variety of factors that would
influence changes in the cost of operating MAX, including annual adjustments to the operating formula
shares, fare receipts (especially with the changes being made to Line 2), Proposition C TSE funding
levels, and increases in the transit operator's contract for services. These factors can have an impact on
the overall operating costs, and as the FYI 1/12 year approaches FY 12/13, updates will be provided to
the PSC with preliminary budget estimates.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
On December 21, 2010, the City Council approved an amendment to the City's contract with
Willdan Engineering in the amount of $50,000 to allow the Planning Division to use consultant
planning services for the processing of the Imperial School Site Project. The cost of the
consultant planning services are being reimbursed to the City by the El Segundo Unified School
District. The amount requested was based upon a preliminary estimate of time needed for
planning consultant services without fully developed plans and therefore a determination
regarding the environmental review process that would be required for the project. Upon further
evaluation of the time needed to process this complex project with the multiple design options
being evaluated and the probability that an EIR will be required for the project, Planning
Division staff estimates $100,000 for planning consultant services. Therefore Planning Division
070
staff is requesting an additional $50,000 for planning consultant services for the Imperial School
Site Project at this time. Further adjustments could be necessary as the project proceeds.
ESUSD has entered into a reimbursement agreement with the City to pay for both planning
consultant services and City staff time through a developer funded trust account.
Additionally, the Planning Division is requesting additional funding for planning consultant
services in an amount of $2,160 to cover the cost of developer reimbursed expenses to complete
a project (Scooter's Jungle Project) that has been processed and managed by the City's planning
consultant Willdan Engineering. Additional planning services (parking demand study site
monitoring) are needed to complete the project. The developer has already provided the
necessary funds to complete this task.
Finally, additional funding in an amount of $5,000 is requested to be added to the City's existing
contract with Willdan Engineering, in order to complete the Housing Element project. Planning
Division staff is working on revisions to the Housing Element to meet the California Department
of Housing and Community Development requirements for certification and needs additional
consultant planning services with Willdan Engineering to complete this task. The cost of the
services would be covered by the City's General Plan Maintenance Fund rather than from the
General fund. The City established the General Plan Maintenance Fund in compliance with
State law that allows cities to charge a fee for development projects to cover the ongoing expense
of maintaining the City's General Plan. The revenue from the fees can only be used for the City's
General Plan. The City has been collecting this fee for a couple of years at the time of the
issuance of building permits for development projects and has sufficient funds to cover the
expense.
The Planning Division believes that the use of consultant services will ensure the efficient and
timely processing of the Imperial School site project and the continuity of completing remaining
tasks for the Scooters Jungle Project and the Housing Element. The Housing Element is
anticipated to be scheduled for public hearings before the Planning Commission and City
Council this summer.
Recommendation
The Planning and Building Safety Department requests that the Council authorize the City
Manager to execute a second amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Willdan,
in a form approved by the City Attorney, for an additional sum of $57,160, for a total not to
exceed $137,160, for the 540 East Imperial Avenue School Site project, the Scooters Jungle
Project, and the Housing Element.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
On March 15, 2011, the City Council awarded a contract in the amount of $46,997.86 to Kalban,
Inc. as the low bidder for the 2010 -2011 annual concrete replacement and other minor
improvements at various locations throughout the City. This project has been underway since
April 11, 2011.
As the work progressed, the City identified additional concrete work that needed to be done at
Campus El Segundo to protect the soccer field's syntactic turf from dirt intrusion and runoff
stemming from the planter areas adjacent to the field. The proposed work consist of constructing
approximately 280 lineal foot of two (2) course block walls with concrete footings and caps that
match the existing raised planters and modifications to the sprinkler system where necessary.
The proposed wall will significantly reduce runoff from the landscaped area to the syntactic turf.

In accordance with § 3 -2.1 of the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (aka,
the "Green Book "), which is incorporated into the City's standard public works contract, changes
to the scope of work that exceed 25% of the original contract price require an amendment to the
contract. Funds are available from the Parks maintenance and repairs and Public Works facility
maintenance budgets for the FY 2010 -2011. A detailed accounting will be submitted for Council
consideration upon formal acceptance of the project.

ORIGINATED BY: Meredith Petit, Recreation Superintendent
REVIEWED BY: Bob Cummings, Director of Recreation an Parks �-
APPROVED BY: Doug Willmore, City Manager Z4M)
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
On November 7, 2006, Californian voters passed Proposition 84, the $5.4 billion "Safe Drinking Water,
Water Quality and Supply, Flood Control, River and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2006 ". Included in
Chapter 9 of Prop 84 is the Statewide Park Program, a $368 million grant program that will award grants
on a competitive basis for the creation of new parks and new recreation opportunities in proximity to the
most critically underserved communities across California. These projects will benefit the health of
families, youth, senior citizens, and other population groups by meeting their recreational, cultural,
social, educational, and environmental needs. Grant Awards can range from $100,000 to $5 million and
do not require matching funds.
For a project to be eligible for Prop 84 grant funding, the community within proximity (1/2 -mile
radius) of the project site must either have a ratio of less than 3 acres of usable park space per 1,000
residents, or the median household income of census tracts in proximity (1/2 -mile radius) to the
project must be lower than $47,331. Most, existing parks and vacant properties within the City of El
Segundo do not fall below the maximum median household income requirement, therefore requiring
any eligible project site be in a locale that registers park acreage per 1,000 residents to be fewer than
3 acres. Furthermore, few existing park sites within the City of El Segundo qualify as eligible
locations due to the number of parks in the community and their proper placement and proximity to a
07 11 10
wide range of residents. Because Acacia Park is on the edge of the city and bordered by LAX, it
passes the eligibility requirement with approximately 2.33 acres of park land per 1,000 residents in
proximity. These factors are illustrated in the attached Community Fact Finder report.
It is important to note that although some parks that may meet the eligibility requirement of fewer than 3
acres per 1,000 residents, they have been deemed not feasible to pursue at this time due to other
limitations contained in the application guidelines and a reasonable assessment of the needs of the
community, such as land agreement restrictions, lack of space to expand, and /or no critical need at the
location.
The Prop 84 Grant is permitted to be used for property acquisition as well as development of new or
expanded park areas. Priority is given to projects that add park acreage to a community. Currently,
Acacia Park, located in the 600 Block of West Acacia Avenue, houses a small outdoor seasonal pool, a
playground with sand surfacing, a swing set, a small restroom facility, and several picnic tables. The
vacant property adjacent to the north side of the park is currently bank -owned and is estimated to be
valued at $1.25 million. The current acreage of the park is 0.5 acres and the vacant property could
double the size of the existing park area.
Acacia Park meets Eligibility Requirement #1 by recording park acreage of 2.33 acres per 1,000
residents in proximity to the proposed project site. Staff has preliminarily identified possible
recreational features that could combine into a number of feasible development concepts. Such
amenities and enhancements could include: above ground water play area commonly referred to as a
"Splash Pad," renovations to the existing outdoor pool, new playground equipment with ADA compliant
elements and surface material, new swing set, new picnic tables and benches made from recycled
materials, half -court basketball court, sand volleyball court, fitness equipment, new BBQ grills,
renovated restroom facilities, walking paths, enhanced landscaping, and any other feasible options
identified through community outreach efforts. Depending on the types of features in the final design
and the estimated number of daily patrons, a parking and traffic plan may need to be implemented.
It is critical that community feedback be incorporated into the final design concept. Five public meetings
have been set to encourage residents to learn more about the possibilities of helping staff create their
community's parks and recreational facilities. The final grant application will consist of a design that
suits the needs of the population. The final grant application will also include a cost estimate based on
the design features. The cost estimate will be less than the grant maximum, yielding no additional
funding needed from the City. It is important to note, however, that the grant awards are administered in
a reimbursement format, meaning that the City must "front" the expenses to the project to be reimbursed
in full by the State at completion.
The attached resolution seeks City Council approval to submit a final application for the Prop 84
Statewide Park Program Grant. The resolution also certifies that the City has sufficient funds to
complete the project (if applicable), has sufficient funds to operate and maintain the project, agrees to the
provisions contained in the Grant Administration Guide, delegates the City Manager as the signature
authority on official documents, and agrees to comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and
guidelines.

Process for Grantees
Congratulations on your GRANT award! Use this guide for the administration of your GRANT
awarded through the Statewide Park Program or Nature Education Facilities Program. This guide
explains the requirements and provides forms for the administration of your GRANT.
We hope you will find this guide user - friendly. The meanings of words and terms shown in
SMALL CAPS are in the Definitions Section starting on page 46.
Please contact OGALS with any questions or comments. Contact information for OGALS is given on
the front cover of this guide, and a list of PROJECT OFFICERS is available at

Steps 1 through 6 below summarize the process and rules for GRANTEES.
Start of Grant Performance Period:
1. Your GRANT PERFORMANCE PERIOD will be shown on your CONTRACT.
• Costs incurred before or after the GRANT PERFORMANCE PERIOD are not eligible for
reimbursement.
■ ELIGIBLE COSTS incurred after the start of the GRANT PERFORMANCE PERIOD can be
reimbursed once a CONTRACT is ENCUMBERED.
CONTRACTS page 3
2. APPLICANTS become GRANTEES when their CONTRACT is ENCUMBERED.
CEQA PENDING CONTRACTS will be sent for PROJECTS that are not yet CEQA compliant. The
funding amount Of CEQA PENDING CONTRACTS will be limited to APPLICANTS' estimated
costs for CEQA Compliance, and cannot exceed ten percent of the GRANT AMOUNT. If the
APPLICANT does not complete CEQA compliance within twelve months from GRANT award
announcement, DPR may rescind the GRANT award.
For PROJECTS involving ACQUISITION, CONTRACTS will not be signed by DPR until
APPLICANTS provide a letter or other document from the escrow company stating that the
escrow is open or will be open within sixty days. If the APPLICANT does not open escrow

4. GRANTEES request final payment after PROJECT COMPLETION by sending a GRANT COMPLETION
PACKET to OGALS. OGALS Conducts a final site inspection for DEVELOPMENT projects before
final payment is approved.
End of Grant Performance Period
5. GRANT funds liquidate at the end of the GRANT PERFORMANCE PERIOD. GRANT COMPLETION
PACKETS must be sent to OGALs no later than three months before the end of the GRANT
PERFORMANCE PERIOD.
■ OGALs recommends that GRANTEES send GRANT COMPLETION PACKETS to OGALS at least
six months prior to the end of the GRANT PERFORMANCE PERIOD. SIX months provides
adequate time for OGALS to review GRANT COMPLETION PACKETS, request and receive
revisions to GRANT COMPLETION PACKETS if necessary, conduct final site inspections, and
process final payments through the State Controller's Office.
• OGALS cannot guarantee that the State Controller's Office can process final payments by
the end of the GRANT PERFORMANCE PERIOD, if GRANT COMPLETION PACKETS are received
less than three months before the end of the GRANT PERFORMANCE PERIOD.
• If the State Controller's Office is unable to process payments before the end of the
GRANT PERFORMANCE PERIOD, unpaid balances of GRANT funds will revert to the
Legislature.

of the GRANT PERFORMANCE PERIOD, whichever is earlier. The GRANT
PERFORMANCE PERIOD is identified in the contract face sheet.
4. The STATE shall have the right to inspect all property or facilities acquired and /or developed
pursuant to this contract and the GRANTEE shall make said property available for inspection

for eligible costs properly incurred in performance of this AGREEMENT despite non-
performance of the GRANTEE. To qualify for such reimbursement, GRANTEE agrees to
mitigate its losses to the best of its ability.

available to the people of the State of California and because such benefit exceeds to an
immeasurable and unascertainable extent, the amount of money furnished by the STATE by
way of GRANT MONIES under the provisions of this contract, the GRANTEE agrees that
payment by the GRANTEE to the STATE of an amount equal to the amount of the GRANT
MONIES disbursed under this AGREEMENT by the STATE would be inadequate
compensation to the STATE for any breach by the GRANTEE of this AGREEMENT. The
GRANTEE further agrees therefore, that in addition to compensatory damages, the
appropriate remedy in the event of a breach of this AGREEMENT by the GRANTEE shall be
the specific performance of this contract, unless otherwise agreed to by the STATE.

executive order, the legislature, or by any other provision of statute, the STATE shall have the option
to either cancel this contract with no liability occurring to the STATE, or offer a contract amendment to
GRANTEE to reflect a reduced grant amount. This Paragraph shall not require the mutual agreement
as addressed in Paragraph E, subsection 2, of this AGREEMENT.

Labor Compliance Program
All GRANTEES must provide a Labor Compliance Program Certification Form (see next page) to
oGALs before requesting any GRANT payment other than a CEQA PENDING ADVANCE.
Public Resource Code §75075 requires that on -site construction related work on public works
projects, performed by a contractor, must have an approved Labor Compliance Program (LCP).
The purpose of the LCP is to ensure that contractors comply with the prevailing wage and other
applicable labor laws, and that payroll records follow generally accepted accounting practices.
Public agencies using their own work force are not required to have an approved LCP. All other
GRANTEES have two options to ensure compliance for on -site construction related work performed
by a contractor(s):
1. GRANTEE can hire a labor compliance contractor certified by the Department of Industrial
Relations. The labor compliance contractor's role is to oversee the other contractors to
ensure that the requirements of the LCP are met.
•M
2. Grantee can adopt or create a LCP which must be certified by the Department of Industrial
Relations. The GRANTEE will then be responsible for overseeing the contractors to ensure
that the requirements of the LCP are met.
The LCP is an eligible construction cost. However, it is understood and acknowledged that
OGALS is not liable for any violations by the GRANTEE of the labor laws.
For further information regarding the LCP contact the Department of Industrial Relations. They are
responsible for providing guidance for the creation and use of a LCP for your project. Their web
page at www.dir.ca.gov /LCP.asr) provides a link to contact information, frequently asked questions,
and LCP documents. In addition, Labor Code §§ 1770 -1781 provides the statutory basis for the
LCP requirements.

Scope Change Requests
To maintain the integrity of the competitive grant award process, any SCOPE CHANGE
requests will be carefully evaluated and must be approved by OGALS in writing. This includes
removal or addition of, or significant modification to, the FEATURES and MAJOR SUPPORT AMENITIES
listed in the original GRANT SCOPE /Cost Estimate Form. OGALs discourages proposals that
eliminate or greatly reduce a PROJECT'S recreational use or capacity.
Therefore, SCOPE CHANGE proposals must include the documents listed below. Any revised
documents must satisfy the requirements described in the Application Checklist in the Application
Guide for the related program. In addition, each document must include a revision date on the top
right corner.
A proposal letter signed by the AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE. Contact your PROJECT OFFICER
to confirm the information that must be included in the letter. The type of information varies
based on the proposed SCOPE CHANGE. In general you will need to include:
• A comparison between the original GRANT SCOPE and the proposed GRANT SCOPE's range
of recreational opportunities, projected number of users, and projected operating hours.
• A comparison of the community based planning process used, if applicable, to develop
the original GRANT SCOPE and the proposed GRANT SCOPE.
• If the requested removal or modification is due to an unforeseen shortage of funds,
provide information about your attempts to obtain funding from other local, state, federal,
or private sources to complete the original GRANT SCOPE.
2. A revised GRANT SCOPE /Cost Estimate Form,
3. A new CEQA Compliance Certification Form is required if the change involves adding a

Fidelity Bond
(For Nonprofit GRANTEES only)
Nonprofit GRANTEES must provide a copy of a current fidelity bond policy to their PROJECT OFFICERS
before any payment requests can be approved by OGALS.
The premium cost for a fidelity bond is an ELIGIBLE COST.
A fidelity bond provides insurance covering fraudulent acts of GRANTEES' employees, volunteers,
officers, and directors. The nonprofit is the party insured. DPR must be named as a Third Party
Loss Payee, i.e., the same as a bank on a car loan or a mortgage company on a home loan. The
complete DPR address is: State of California, Dept. of Parks and Recreation, P.O. Box 942896,
Sacramento, CA 94296 -0001, Attn: Office of Grants and Local Services.
Coverage must be equal to or greater than the GRANT amount. If the GRANTEE's existing coverage
is lower than the GRANT amount, the GRANTEE needs to amend the coverage to equal or exceed the
GRANT amount. Fidelity bond insurance must be kept current for at least 6 months after the date of
the final GRANT payment.
GRANTEES may obtain the fidelity bond through their general liability carrier, a major casualty
insurance carrier, or a bonds specialty company. These sources are listed in the yellow pages or
intemet. A list of fidelity bond frequently asked questions is available on the OGALS web site at
www.Parks.ca.gov/arants

Three -Bid Process
(For Nonprofit GRANTEES only)
Before awarding a contract for work on the PROJECT, nonprofit GRANTEES must go out to bid and
obtain three bids from contractors. The bids must be reviewed by the nonprofit's governing body.
GRANTEES may request a waiver for this process. To request a waiver, send a letter to the PROJECT
OFFICER that explains why the waiver is needed.
Keep your records of the three -bid process for audit purposes. The Audit Checklist on page 45
requires the following:
■ List of bidders (including individual bid packages)
■ Recommendation by reviewer of bids
■ Awarding by governing body (minutes of the meeting /resolution)

ELIGIBLE COSTS — NATURE EDUCATION FACILITIES PROGRAM
This section provides rules and examples Of ELIGIBLE COSTS for Nature Education
Facilities Program PROJECTS. It also contains information on ineligible costs. ELIGIBLE
COSTS incurred during the GRANT PERFORMANCE PERIOD, from 07/01/09 to 06/30/17, can
be reimbursed once a fully ENCUMBERED CONTRACT is in place. Any costs incurred
before a GRANT is awarded and a CONTRACT fully ENCUMBERED are at the APPLICANTS
own risk. The GRANT ADMINISTRATION GUIDE provides additional information and
instructions on payment requests and audit requirements.
Section 75081 of the Public Resources Code requires that all provisions of the State
General Obligation Bond Law apply to Proposition 84 funds. This allows the
expenditure of funds for tangible physical property. This includes planning and
construction of new facilities, buildings, and structures as well as additions to, and
modification of, existing buildings and facilities, and the equipment related to such
construction. Funds may also be expended on fixed equipment that is either needed
for initial occupancy and operation of a new FACILITY or needed to enhance the useful
purpose of the FACILITY.
In general, GRANT funds may be used for:
o Any part of a building or FACILITY that directly provides, or helps to provide NATURE
EDUCATION.
o Support facilities incorporated within the building or FACILITY that are considered
necessary for its primary function, e.g., restrooms, related offices, storage and
equipment space.
o Supplemental facilities that provide incidental services for visitors and /or revenue
for the operation and maintenance of the PROJECT, e.g., gift shops, cafes,
equipment rental shops.
GRANT funds may not be used for any part of a building or FACILITY which does not
meet the intent of the program. Therefore, if the proposed function is unrelated to the
need to provide, or support NATURE EDUCATION, the costs would be ineligible under this
program. Examples include, but are not limited to unrelated office, storage and
equipment space.

Development Costs
DEVELOPMENT costs are divided into two categories based on the phase of
construction. The first phase includes PRE - CONSTRUCTION COSTS such as planning,
design, and construction documents, and any permits necessary before construction
can begin. No more than 25% of the GRANT amount may be spent on PRE -
CONSTRUCTION COSTS.
The second phase includes CONSTRUCTION COSTS which start after the necessary PRE -
CONSTRUCTION phase has concluded. The construction phase begins with ground-
breaking activities such as site preparation, grading, or gutting and continues through
project completion.
The purchase and installation of MARINE RESEARCH EQUIPMENT is also a second phase
cost.

• REIMBURSEMENT payments (see page 37)
• Final payment (see page 38)
GRANT payments before the final payment may not exceed 80% of the GRANT amount. 20% of
the GRANT amount is retained for the final payment as a REIMBURSEMENT.
The GRANTEE should group costs together to avoid frequent payment requests. Payment
requests greater than $10,000 are encouraged.
Payment requests are processed through the State Controller's Office and are mailed to the
GRANTEE approximately six weeks from the date the request is approved by OGALS.
OGALS will not approve payment requests if they do not meet the requirements described in
this GRANT ADMINISTRATION GUIDE.
ADVANCE Payments
ADVANCE payments are made at the discretion Of OGALS. OGALS considers ADVANCE payments
as a privilege, not a right. OGALs reserves the right to disapprove ADVANCE payments.
The following section describes ADVANCE payments for ACQUISITION and DEVELOPMENT costs.
There are three possible types Of ADVANCE payments:
1. CEQA PENDING ADVANCE
2. ACQUISITION ADVANCE

Grant Completion Packet
To request the final payment and close out the GRANT, the GRANTEE must provide the following
four documents after PROJECT COMPLETION. (For the recommended deadline to request a final
payment, see page 2, #5.)
1. Payment Request Form (page 39)
2. GRANT Expenditure Form (page 41)
For GRANT SCOPES with ACQUISITION Costs, also provide the documents listed in
the "Final Payment requirements for GRANT SCOPES with ACQUISITION Costs"
chart on page 38.
3. PROJECT COMPLETION Certification (page 42)
OGALS recommends that the GRANTEE file a "notice of completion" with the County
Recorder pursuant to Civil Code §3093. The purpose of the "notice of completion"
is to limit the period of time when a mechanic's lien may be recorded against a
construction project. Filing the "notice of completion" is not a GRANT completion
requirement.

ORIGINATED BY: Meredith Petit, Recreation Superintendent
REVIEWED BY: Bob Cummings, Director of Recreation and Parks' '
APPROVED BY: Doug Willmore, City Manager lit/AJ
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
On November 7, 2006, Californian voters passed Proposition 84, the $5.4 billion "Safe Drinking Water,
Water Quality and Supply, Flood Control, River and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2006 ". Included in
Chapter 9 of Prop 84 is the Statewide Park Program, a $368 million grant program that will award grants
on a competitive basis for the creation of new parks and new recreation opportunities in proximity to the
most critically underserved communities across California. These projects will benefit the health of
families, youth, senior citizens, and other population groups by meeting their recreational, cultural,
social, educational, and environmental needs. Grant Awards can range from $100,000 to $5 million and
do not require matching funds.
For a project to be eligible for Prop 84 grant funding, the community within proximity (1/2 -mile
radius) of the project site must either have a ratio of less than 3 acres of usable park space per 1,000
residents, or the median household income of census tracts in proximity (1/2 -mile radius) to the
project must be lower than $47,33 1. Existing parks and vacant properties within the City of El
Segundo do not fall below the maximum median household income requirement, therefore requiring
any eligible project site be in a locale that registers park acreage per 1,000 residents to be fewer than
three acres. Furthermore, few existing park sites within the City of El Segundo qualify as eligible '1 1
129
locations due to the number of parks in the community and their proper placement and proximity to a
wide range of residents. The existing Urho Saari Swim Stadium passes the requirement only when
calculated from the westernmost border of the property of the Richmond Street Field site, where the
park acreage per 1,000 residents in proximity is approximately 2.57 acres. These factors are
illustrated in the attached Community Fact Finder report.
It is important to note that although some parks that may meet the eligibility requirement of fewer than 3
acres per 1,000 residents, they have been deemed not feasible to pursue at this time due to other
limitations contained in the application guidelines and a reasonable assessment of the needs of the
community, such as land agreement restrictions, lack of space to expand, and /or no critical need at the
location.
Over the course of nearly six years, the Department of Recreation and Parks, the City, and its
stakeholders have been steadily working towards a future Aquatics Facility that would serve the
needs of the community. In 2009 the Pool Alternatives Study was finalized after input from the
community and offered various design plans and cost estimates for three potential locations. The
design plan labeled "Option 1C at Urho Saari Swim Stadium" was created collaboratively by a
workgroup consisting of city staff, elected and appointed officials, and representatives from the El
Segundo Unified School District. Currently, the Planning Department is circulating the Draft
Environmental Impact Report studying the various pool alternatives and has identified potential areas
of concern that would be addressed during the final design process. All pool alternatives remain
viable options for future development, however, Option 1C is the only eligible project for purposes
of obtaining grant funding through the Proposition 84 Statewide Park Program.
Phase One of Option 1 C at the Urho Saari Swim Stadium site calls for the construction of a new outdoor
competition pool on the north side of the facility, which is currently part of the Richmond Street School
grounds. The 40 -meter competition pool would also facilitate the proper specifications for 25 -meter by
25 -yard short course swim and deep water polo. The project also calls for some renovations and
construction of a mechanical room, office and storage area, restrooms and locker rooms, landscaping and
seating areas, the relocation of the existing school play area, and enhancement to the adjacent Richmond
Street Playfield that includes re- grading to create a flat smooth playfield, new light poles, and joint use
parking lots on the east and west sides of the site. The estimated cost for Phase One is nearly $5.7
million, to which an award of $5 million would cover most of the expenses with the City utilizing
previously allocated funds to cover the remaining portion. It is important to note, however, that the grant
awards are administered in a reimbursement format, meaning that the City must "front" the expenses to
the project to be reimbursed in full by the State at completion.
The attached resolution seeks City Council approval to submit a final application for the Prop 84
Statewide Park Program Grant. The resolution also certifies that the City has sufficient funds to
complete the project, has sufficient funds to operate and maintain the project, agrees to the provisions
contained in the Grant Administration Guide, delegates the City Manager as the signature authority on
official documents, and agrees to comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and guidelines.

Process for Grantees
Congratulations on your GRANT award! Use this guide for the administration of your GRANT
awarded through the Statewide Park Program or Nature Education Facilities Program. This guide
explains the requirements and provides forms for the administration of your GRANT.
We hope you will find this guide user - friendly. The meanings of words and terms shown in
SMALL CAPS are in the Definitions Section starting on page 46.
Please contact OGALS with any questions or comments. Contact information for OGALS is given on
the front cover of this guide, and a list of PROJECT OFFICERS is available at
www.parks.ca.gov /grants.
Steps 1 through 6 below summarize the process and rules for GRANTEES.
Start of Grant Performance Period:
1. Your GRANT PERFORMANCE PERIOD will be shown on your CONTRACT.
■ Costs incurred before or after the GRANT PERFORMANCE PERIOD are not eligible for
reimbursement.
■ ELIGIBLE COSTS incurred after the start Of the GRANT PERFORMANCE PERIOD Can be
reimbursed Once a CONTRACT is ENCUMBERED.
CONTRACTS page 3
2. APPLICANTS become GRANTEES when their CONTRACT is ENCUMBERED.
CEQA PENDING CONTRACTS will be sent for PROJECTS that are not yet CEQA compliant. The
funding amount Of CEQA PENDING CONTRACTS will be limited to APPLICANTS' estimated
costs for CEQA compliance, and cannot exceed ten percent of the GRANT AMOUNT. If the
APPLICANT does not complete CEQA compliance within twelve months from GRANT award
announcement, DPR may rescind the GRANT award.
For PROJECTS involving ACQUISITION, CONTRACTS will not be signed by DPR until
APPLICANTS provide a letter or other document from the escrow company stating that the
escrow is open or will be open within sixty days. If the APPLICANT does not open escrow
within twelve months from GRANT award announcement, DPR may rescind the GRANT
award.
Payments page 33
3. GRANTEES may request payments after CONTRACTS are encumbered. GRANT funds may only
be expended on ELIGIBLE COSTS incurred during the GRANT PERFORMANCE PERIOD.
■ Special Requirements:
Status reports, a Memorandum of Unrecorded Grant Agreement, labor compliance
program certification, and a fidelity bond for non profit organizations are special
requirements affecting payment requests. The Special Requirements section starting
on page 15 explains how and when each requirement must be met.
Grant Administration Guide for 2006 1 Process for Grantees
Bond Act (Proposition 84) Grants 13 r
4. GRANTEES request final payment after PROJECT COMPLETION by sending a GRANT COMPLETION
PACKET to OGALS. OGALS conducts a final site inspection for DEVELOPMENT projects before
final payment is approved.
End of Grant Performance Period
5. GRANT funds liquidate at the end of the GRANT PERFORMANCE PERIOD. GRANT COMPLETION
PACKETS must be sent to OGALs no later than three months before the end of the GRANT
PERFORMANCE PERIOD.
■ OGALS recommends that GRANTEES send GRANT COMPLETION PACKETS to OGALS at least
six months prior to the end Of the GRANT PERFORMANCE PERIOD. SIX months provides
adequate time for OGALS to review GRANT COMPLETION PACKETS, request and receive
revisions to GRANT COMPLETION PACKETS if necessary, conduct final site inspections, and
process final payments through the State Controller's Office.
• OGALS cannot -guarantee that the State Controller's Office can process final payments by
the end of the GRANT PERFORMANCE PERIOD, if GRANT COMPLETION PACKETS are received
less than three months before the end of the GRANT PERFORMANCE PERIOD.
If the State Controller's Office is unable to process payments before the end of the
GRANT PERFORMANCE PERIOD, unpaid balances of GRANT funds will revert to the
Legislature.
Accountina and Audit page 44
6. DPR's Audits Office may conduct an audit. The GRANTEE is required to keep all PROJECT
records for five years following the final GRANT payment.

of the GRANT PERFORMANCE PERIOD, whichever is earlier. The GRANT
PERFORMANCE PERIOD is identified in the contract face sheet.

pursuant to this contract and the GRANTEE shall make said property available for inspection

mitigate its losses to the best of its ability.

immeasurable and unascertainable extent, the amount of money furnished by the STATE by
way of GRANT MONIES under the provisions of this contract, the GRANTEE agrees that
payment by the GRANTEE to the STATE of an amount equal to the amount of the GRANT
MONIES disbursed under this AGREEMENT by the STATE would be inadequate
compensation to the STATE for any breach by the GRANTEE of this AGREEMENT. The
GRANTEE further agrees therefore, that in addition to compensatory damages, the
appropriate remedy in the event of a breach of this AGREEMENT by the GRANTEE shall be
the specific performance of this contract, unless otherwise agreed to by the STATE.

executive order, the legislature, or by any other provision of statute, the STATE shall have the option

GRANTEE to reflect a reduced grant amount. This Paragraph shall not require the mutual agreement
as addressed in Paragraph E, subsection 2, of this AGREEMENT.

Labor Compliance Program
All GRANTEES must provide a Labor Compliance Program Certification Form (see next page) to
OGALs before requesting any GRANT payment other than a CEQA PENDING ADVANCE.
Public Resource Code §75075 requires that on -site construction related work on public works
projects, performed by a contractor, must have an approved Labor Compliance Program (LCP).
The purpose of the LCP is to ensure that contractors comply with the prevailing wage and other
applicable labor laws, and that payroll records follow generally accepted accounting practices.
Public agencies using their own work force are not required to have an approved LCP. All other
GRANTEES have two options to ensure compliance for on -site construction related work performed
by a contractor(s):
1. GRANTEE can hire a labor compliance contractor certified by the Department of Industrial
Relations. The labor compliance contractor's role is to oversee the other contractors to
ensure that the requirements of the LCP are met.
O
2. Grantee can adopt or create a LCP which must be certified by the Department of Industrial
Relations. The GRANTEE will then be responsible for overseeing the contractors to ensure
that the requirements of the LCP are met.
The LCP is an eligible construction cost. However, it is understood and acknowledged that
OGALS is not liable for any violations by the GRANTEE of the labor laws.
For further information regarding the LCP contact the Department of Industrial Relations. They are
responsible for providing guidance for the creation and use of a LCP for your project. Their web
page at www.dir.ca.gov /LCP.asr) provides a link to contact information, frequently asked questions,
and LCP documents. In addition, Labor Code §§ 1770 -1781 provides the statutory basis for the
LCP requirements.

Scope Change Requests
To maintain the integrity of the competitive grant award process, any SCOPE CHANGE
requests will be carefully evaluated and must be approved by OGALS in writing. This includes
removal or addition of, or significant modification to, the FEATURES and MAJOR SUPPORT AMENITIES
listed in the original GRANT SCOPE /Cost Estimate Form. OGALs discourages proposals that
eliminate or greatly reduce a PROJECT's recreational use or capacity.
Therefore, SCOPE CHANGE proposals must include the documents listed below. Any revised
documents must satisfy the requirements described in the Application Checklist in the Application
Guide for the related program. In addition, each document must include a revision date on the top
right corner.
A proposal letter signed by the AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE. Contact your PROJECT OFFICER
to confirm the information that must be included in the letter. The type of information varies
based on the proposed SCOPE CHANGE. In general you will need to include:
• A comparison between the original GRANT SCOPE and the proposed GRANT SCOPE's range
of recreational opportunities, projected number of users, and projected operating hours.
• A comparison of the community based planning process used, if applicable, to develop
the original GRANT SCOPE and the proposed GRANT SCOPE.
• If the requested removal or modification is due to an unforeseen shortage of funds,
provide information about your attempts to obtain funding from other local, state, federal,
or private sources to complete the original GRANT SCOPE.
2. A revised GRANT SCOPE /Cost Estimate Form.
3. A new CEQA Compliance Certification Form is required if the change involves adding a
FEATURE or MAJOR SUPPORT AMENITY not covered by the existing CEQA Compliance
Certification Form.
4. A revised site plan showing the addition, removal, or modification of the FEATURE(S) or
MAJOR SUPPORT AMENITY(S).

Fidelity Bond
(For Nonprofit GRANTEES only)
Nonprofit GRANTEES must provide a copy of a current fidelity bond policy to their PROJECT OFFICERS
before any payment requests can be approved by OGALS.
The premium cost for a fidelity bond is an ELIGIBLE COST.
A fidelity bond provides insurance covering fraudulent acts of GRANTEES' employees, volunteers,
officers, and directors. The nonprofit is the party insured. DPR must be named as a Third Party
Loss Payee, i.e., the same as a bank on a car loan or a mortgage company on a home loan. The
complete DPR address is: State of California, Dept. of Parks and Recreation, P.O. Box 942896,
Sacramento, CA 94296 -0001, Attn: Office of Grants and Local Services.
Coverage must be equal to or greater than the GRANT amount. If the GRANTEE's existing coverage
is lower than the GRANT amount, the GRANTEE needs to amend the coverage to equal or exceed the
GRANT amount. Fidelity bond insurance must be kept current for at least 6 months after the date of
the final GRANT payment.
GRANTEES may obtain the fidelity bond through their general liability carrier, a major casualty
insurance carrier, or a bonds specialty company. These sources are listed in the yellow pages or
internet. A list of fidelity bond frequently asked questions is available on the OGALS web site at

Three -Bid Process
(For Nonprofit GRANTEES only)
Before awarding a contract for work on the PROJECT, nonprofit GRANTEES must go out to bid and
obtain three bids from contractors. The bids must be reviewed by the nonprofit's governing body.
GRANTEES may request a waiver for this process. To request a waiver, send a letter to the PROJECT
OFFICER that explains why the waiver is needed.
Keep your records of the three -bid process for audit purposes. The Audit Checklist on page 45
requires the following:
■ List of bidders (including individual bid packages)
■ Recommendation by reviewer of bids
■ Awarding by governing body (minutes of the meeting /resolution)

ELIGIBLE COSTS — NATURE EDUCATION FACILITIES PROGRAM
This section provides rules and examples of ELIGIBLE COSTS for Nature Education
Facilities Program PROJECTS. It also contains information on ineligible costs. ELIGIBLE
COSTS incurred during the GRANT PERFORMANCE PERIOD, from 07/01/09 to 06/30/17, can
be reimbursed once a fully ENCUMBERED CONTRACT is in place. Any Costs incurred
before a GRANT is awarded and a CONTRACT fully ENCUMBERED are at the APPLICANT'S
own risk. The GRANT ADMINISTRATION GUIDE provides additional information and
instructions on payment requests and audit requirements.
Section 75081 of the Public Resources Code requires that all provisions of the State
General Obligation Bond Law apply to Proposition 84 funds. This allows the
expenditure of funds for tangible physical property. This includes planning and
construction of new facilities, buildings, and structures as well as additions to, and
modification of, existing buildings and facilities, and the equipment related to such
construction. Funds may also be expended on fixed equipment that is either needed
for initial occupancy and operation of a new FACILITY or needed to enhance the useful
purpose of the FACILITY.
In general, GRANT funds may be used for:
• Any part of a building or FACILITY that directly provides, or helps to provide NATURE
EDUCATION.
• Support facilities incorporated within the building or FACILITY that are considered
necessary for its primary function, e.g., restrooms, related offices, storage and
equipment space.
• Supplemental facilities that provide incidental services for visitors and /or revenue
for the operation and maintenance of the PROJECT, e.g., gift shops, cafes,
equipment rental shops.
GRANT funds may not be used for any part of a building or FACILITY which does not
meet the intent of the program. Therefore, if the proposed function is unrelated to the
need to provide, or support NATURE EDUCATION, the costs would be ineligible under this
program. Examples include, but are not limited to unrelated office, storage and
equipment space.

Development Costs
DEVELOPMENT costs are divided into two categories based on the phase of
construction. The first phase includes PRE - CONSTRUCTION COSTS such as planning,
design, and construction documents, and any permits necessary before construction
can begin. No more than 25% of the GRANT amount may be spent on PRE -
CONSTRUCTION COSTS.
The second phase includes CONSTRUCTION COSTS which start after the necessary PRE -
CONSTRUCTION phase has concluded. The construction phase begins with ground-
breaking activities such as site preparation, grading, or gutting and continues through
project completion.
The purchase and installation Of MARINE RESEARCH EQUIPMENT is also a second phase
cost.

GRANT Payments
This section is organized by the three types of payments, which are:
• ADVANCE payments (see page 33)
• REIMBURSEMENT payments (see page 37)
• Final payment (seepage 38)
GRANT payments before the final payment may not exceed 80% of the GRANT amount. 20% of
the GRANT amount is retained for the final payment as a REIMBURSEMENT.
The GRANTEE should group costs together to avoid frequent payment requests. Payment
requests greater than $10,000 are encouraged.
Payment requests are processed through the State Controller's Office and are mailed to the
GRANTEE approximately six weeks from the date the request is approved by OGALS.
OGALS will not approve payment requests if they do not meet the requirements described in
this GRANT ADMINISTRATION GUIDE.
ADVANCE Payments
ADVANCE payments are made at the discretion Of OGALS. OGALS considers ADVANCE payments
as a privilege, not a right. OGALs reserves the right to disapprove ADVANCE payments.
The following section describes ADVANCE payments for ACQUISITION and DEVELOPMENT costs.
There are three possible types of ADVANCE payments:
1. CEQA PENDING ADVANCE
2. ACQUISITION ADVANCE
