HONORABLE CITY COUNCIL 3
FROM:CITY MANAGER DEPARTMENT: PLANNING AND
COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENT
AGENDA DATE: APRIL 27, 1998 CMR:210:98
SUBJECT:AMENDMENT NUMBER TWO TO AN AGREEMENT TO
PROVIDE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT
(CDBG) FUNDS FOR THE ARASTRADERO PARK
APARTMENTS WATER SYSTEM REPLACEMENT PROJECT
REPORT IN BRIEF
Arastradero Park Apartments is a 66-unit subsidized family rental housing complex acquired
in 1995 by a nonprofit affiliate of the Palo Alto Housing Corporation (PAHC). Major
rehabilitation of the 25-year-old project has been completed, primarily with funds from the
U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). However, HUD did not
provide funds for replacement of the property’s domestic water supply and fire sprinkler
system. In the last three years, there have been numerous instances of pipe blockages, water
leaks and severely reduced water pressure which have affected the liveability of the housing
units. As part of the 1996-97 CDBG Action Plan, Council allocated $286,380 in CDBG
funding for the complete rehabilitation and replacement of the project’s water system. The
total budget .is currently estimated at about $800,000, with the other funding primarily from
the project’s replacement reserves. The current action requested of Council is to approve an
amendment to the acquisition contract to provide a deferred payment loan of the $286,380
in CDBG funds so that the water system replacement project can proceed to construction.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Council:
1)Approve, and authorize the Mayor to execute, the attached Amendment Number Two
to an agreement with the Arastradero Park Apartments Corporation (APAC) and the
Palo Alto Housing Corporation (PAHC), in substantially similar form (with. its
attached form of promissory note), in the amount of $286;380 to provide FY 1996-97
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for replacement of the
domestic water and fire sprinkler system at the Arastradero Park Apartments at 574
Arastradero Road; and
2) Direct the City Manager to administer the provisions of the agreement.
BACKGROUND
Arastradero Park Apartments is a 66-unit garden apartmentcomplex constructed in 1974
serving families and elderly households, with 47 units under a U. S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD) Section 8 rental assistance contract. APAC (the nonp~:ofit
ownership entity established and controlled by PAHC) acquired the project in April 1995
with major assistance directly from HUD and CDBG funds from the City. The City provided
a CDBG grant of $12,645 for pre-acquisition costs and a CDBG loan of $303,821 for the
purchase. PAHC manages the project under contract to APAC. APAC has completed major
rehabilitation of the project with total hard construction costs of about $690,000. Most of
the funding came from. HUD, although PAHC was also able to secure a $200,000
contribution from the seller. PAHC also expended approximately $20,000 to update units
when there were tenant turnovers prior to the HUD funds becoming available.
In the last months prior to the actual sale to APAC, there were a few reports from tenants of
water pressure problems. In March 1995, PAHC hired an inspector specifically to
investigate these reports; it also surveyed all tenants. The project’s water supply lines are
galvanized steel. The inspector concluded that the problems reported by tenants were
probably caused by sediment in the exterior water supply lines and not by problems in the
piping within the buildings. Based on the insPector’s report, PAHC was able to convince
HUD to add $44,780 to its funding budget for replacement of the exterior water lines.
As the final financing was being assembled, Congress began steps to rescind the Federal
funds PAHC needed for the purchase and to immediately terminate the entire Federal
housing preservation program. It became clear that any further delays in closing the
purchase to investigate the water system would jeopardize the HUD funding for the entire
project. Therefore, despite some uncertainty about the condition of the water supply system,
PAHC decided to proceed with the purchase, and escrow closed on April 27, 1995, shortly
before Congress terminated the funding program.
CMR:210:98 Page 2 of 5
In the first six months ofAPAC’s ownership, there were numerous instances of leaksin the
interior plumbing and tenant complaints of severely reduced water pressure. PAHC’s
maintenance staff believed that there were corrosion problems in the interior plumbing lines
and that the condition extended throughout the entire complex. Interim repairs, costing about
$300 per unit, were completed on the units with the worst problems using a vibration system
to loosen blockages, but that technique often causes further leaks to appear. The problems
have persisted over the last three years. Tenants continue to suffer low water pressure and
PAHC reports that in 1997 a total of $9,500 was spent on repairs related to pipe blockage and
failure.
PAHC hired Encon, a hydraulic engineering firm, to inspect the entire project’s water system
and recommend a course of action. Encon’s report stated that the water system was in poor
condition and obsolete. Encon recommended that the hot and cold water piping throughout
all six buildings be replaced. Because there-was no possibility of obtaining additional funds
from HUD, PAHC applied in December 1995 for $286,380 in CDBG funds, based on an
estimated budget of $331,160, to completely replace the water supply mains and the interior
water piping.
DISCUSSION
For a number of reasons, the project’s scope of work and budget have been expanded since
PAHC submitted the 1995 CDBG application. The $331,160 preliminary budget used in the
CDBG application was based entirely on Encon’s report and cost estimates which did not
include all components of the job. For example, there was no allowance for the construction
of soffits to house the pipes or for the cost of repairing walls, bath enclosures, painting and
other areas that will be disturbed during the installation of new water piping. The scope of
work also had to be expanded in response to City. plan checking comments to include a fire
sprinkler system component. The City has determined that the fire sprinkler system, which
exists in three of the six buildings, must be upgraded with a separate water supply main
connection and with new piping and sprinkler heads to meet current code. Approximately
$120,000 of the revised budget relates to the addition of the fire sprinkler system upgrades
to the scope of work.
To mitigate the impact of these cost increases, the project has been divided into two phases.
The first phase will include all site utilities and common area work and interior water piping
work in one building. Phase One will be primarily funded with City CDBG and HUD funds.
Approval was received from HUD to limit the application of Federal prevailing wages and
procurement procedures to just the first phase. The second phase will include the interior
work on the other five residential buildings and the interior fire sprinkler replacement work.
No Federal funding will be involved in the second phase; it will be funded solely from the
project’s replacement reserves. Even if the same contractors are used for both phases, there
should be cost savings due to the reduction in Federal reporting and monitoring requirements.
A revised budget for a two-phase project has been submitted by PAHC using current
CMR:210:98 Page 3 of 5
construction cost estimates and the expanded scope of work. The current budget estimate
for the entire project is $808,950 including design, permits, PAHC’s management and
supervision and a 5 percent contingency. To be conservative, the budget estimates assumed
that payment of Federal prevailing wages and reporting applied to both phases of the entire
project. The budget is described in more detail in Attachment A.
RESOURCE IMPACT
Based on the recommendation of staff and the CDBG Citizen Advisory Committee, Council
approved funding of $286,380 for this activity on May 6, 1996 as part of the FY 1996-97
CDBG Annual Action Plan. While the project’s scope of work has expanded considerably,
as has the total budget, PAHC is not requesting any additional City funding. PAHC
anticipates that sufficient funds will be available from the project’s operating and
replacement reserve accounts and from the funds previously awarded by HUD. Due to
reductions in the City’s FY 1998 CDBG entitlement grant amount and expected
commitments to fund the Sheridan Apartments acquisition, there are no additional CDBG
funds available for this project.
The $286,380 in City CDBG funds will be provided in the form of a new loan, secured by
the existing deed of trust on the property in favor of the City. The total amount of City
funding provided for Arastradero Park’s acquisition and rehabilitation will then equal
$590,201 (the current $286,380 plus the outstanding balance of $303,821 for the acquisition
loan). The City’s loans accrue 3 percent simple interest per year and no payments are
required unless the project produces excess cash flow as determined by HUD. Any loan
repayments of secondary financing required HUD authorization and are unlikely to occur
since HUD effectively controls the project’s rent revenue and operating budget. The term
of the City’s funding agreement coincides with the 50-year term of the existing HUD
regulatory agreement on the property.
Even though the portion of the project subject to Federal construction requirements has been
reduced, the project will still be relatively time consuming for staff to administer. The
Federal contract compliance process and prevailing wage monitoring significantly impacts
staff workload, especially for larger CDBG-funded construction activities. To ensure
compliance with Federal regulations, staff time will be required to oversee the contractor
procurement and selection process, conduct on-site worker wage interviews, review weekly
payrolls for compliance with Federal wage rates and resolve any payroll discrepancies.
POLICY IMPLICATIONS
This staff recommendation is consistent with existing City policy.
CMR:210:98 Page 4 of 5
TIMELINE
Construction work will take about six months and PAHC expects that the project will be
completed by the end of 1998. Construction drawings are currently being reviewed by the
City.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Approval of funding for the water system replacement project is not an action subject to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Staffhas also determined that the project
is exempt under Section 58.34 (a) (12) of the CDBG program’s National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) regulations.
