AND HOPE THE MISSION
This Agreement is made and entered into as of June 30, 2023, by and between
the City of San Bernardino, a charter city and municipal corporation organized and
operating under the laws of the State of California with its principal place of business at
Vanir Tower, 290 North D Street, San Bernardino, CA 92401 (“City”), and Hope the

RECITALS

which was declared on February 1, 2023, the City is taking
progressive steps to mitigate homelessness.
2. Because most of the City’s shelters are at full capacity, the City has
negotiated the use of 125 motel rooms from the Super 8 Motel located at
205 E Hospitality Lane in San Bernardino. The motel rooms will act as
interim shelter, and the units will exclusively be used by the interim shelter
lead operator (Consultant) to provide immediate low-barrier, Housing First,
solutions and linkages to a broad range of housing resources.
3. The interim shelter will be referred to as the “Bridge to Placement
Program” and will only be in use until the City constructs its navigation
center, which is estimated to take eight (8) months.
4. The goals of the program are to reduce the loss of life for unhoused
residents, increase access to mental health and substance abuse
treatment, eliminate street encampments, promote long-term housing
stability, and enhance the safety and hygiene of neighborhoods for all
residents, businesses, and neighbors. Services will be low-barrier, trauma-
informed, and data driven. Services must remain flexible to support the
needs of individuals receiving services, as well as to accommodate the
limits of available local funds.
5. City is a public agency of the State of California and is in need of
professional services for the following project:

SCOPE OF SERVICES
HTM’s Bridge to
Placement Interim Shelter for
the City of San Bernardino
Scope of Required Services:
The Scope of Required Services {SRS) for the City of San Bernardino’s
Bridge to Placement Program contains a written summary of detailed
information regarding the services that may be provided to Program participants
based on available need and available resources. The City is partnering with Hope
the Mission (HTM), which will have exclusive rights to refer unhoused
individuals into the Bridge to
Placement Program during the City's construction of its navigation center.
The City reserves the right to make any necessary changes related to
prioritization, matching, and other aspects of the
implementation needed for the County's Coordinated Entry System
(CES). HTM, hereby referred to as Contractor, will be notified of any such
changes through policies, interim guidance, and other forms of guidance when
deemed necessary.
A.PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Bridge to Placement Program is a housing-focused solution to
combating homelessness for unhoused residents in the City of San Bernardino.
The City has secured 125 motel rooms from the Super 8 Motel located at 205 E
Hospitality Lane in San Bernardino, which will exclusively be used by the
Contractor to provide immediate low-barrier, Housing First, interim
housing solutions and linkages to a broad range of housing resources. The goals
Packet Pg. 40
1
9
of the program are to reduce the loss of life on the streets of San Bernardino,
increase access to mental health and substance abuse treatment for unhoused
residents, eliminate street encampments, promote long-term housing stability for
people experiencing homelessness, and enhance the safety and hygiene of
neighborhoods for all residents, businesses, and neighbors through the available
service interventions. Services will be low-barrier, trauma-informed, and data-
informed. Services must remain flexible to support the needs of individuals
receiving services, as well as to accommodate the limits of what the local
funding permits.
It is anticipated that the Interim Shelter will be in place for eight (8)
months, while the City develops a low-barrier navigation center. If an
individual residing in interim shelter has not been connected to transitional or
permanent housing by the time the navigation center is ready for operation,
said individual will be transitioned from interim shelter into the navigation
center by the Contractor.

denial of the benefits of, or subjection to discrimination under programs and activities
receiving federal funds, of any person in the United States on the ground of race, color,

(ii) Consultant acknowledges that Executive Order 13166, “Improving
Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency (LEP),” seeks to improve
access to federally assisted programs and activities for individuals who, because of
national origin, are limited in their English proficiency. Consultant understands that the
denial of access to persons to its programs, services and activities because of their limited
proficiency in English is a form of national origin discrimination prohibited under Title VI
of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Accordingly, Consultant shall initiate reasonable steps, or
comply with Treasury’s directives, to ensure meaningful access to its programs, services
and activities to LEP persons. Consultant understands and agrees that meaningful
access may entail providing language assistance services, including oral interpretation
and written translation where necessary to ensure effective communication in the Project.
(iii) Consultant agrees to consider the need for language services for
LEP persons during development of applicable budgets and when conducting programs,
services and activities. As a resource, the Department of the Treasury has published its
LEP guidance at 70 FR 6067. For more information on LEP, please visit
http://www.lep.gov.
(iv) Consultant acknowledges and agrees that compliance with this
assurance constitutes a condition of continued receipt of federal financial assistance and
is binding upon Consultant and Consultant’s successors, transferees and assignees for
the period in which such assistance is provided.
(v) Consultant agrees to incorporate the following language in every
contract or agreement subject to Title VI and its regulations between the Consultant and
the Consultant’s subcontractors, successors, transferees and assignees:
The subcontractor, successor, transferee and assignee shall comply with Title VI of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits recipients of federal financial assistance from
excluding from a program or activity, denying benefits of, or otherwise discriminating against a
person on the basis of race, color, or national origin (42 U.S.C. § 2000d et seq.), as implemented
by Department of the Treasury Title VI regulations, 31 CFR Part 22, which are herein
incorporated by reference and made a part of this contract (or agreement). Title VI also extends
protection to persons with “Limited English proficiency” in any program or activity receiving
federal financial assistance, 42 U.S.C. § 2000d et seq., as implemented by Department of the
Treasury Title VI regulations, 31 CFR Part 22, which are herein incorporated by reference and
made a part of this contract (or agreement).
(vi) Consultant understands and agrees that if any real property or
structure is provided or improved with the aid of federal financial assistance by the
Department of the Treasury, this assurance obligates the Consultant, or in the case of a
subsequent transfer, the transferee, for the period during which the real property or
structure is used for a purpose for which the federal financial assistance is extended or
for another purpose involving the provision of similar services or benefits. If any personal
property is provided, this assurance obligates the Consultant for the period during which
it retains ownership or possession of the property.
Packet Pg. 60

(vii) Consultant shall cooperate in any enforcement or compliance review
activities by the Department of the Treasury of the aforementioned obligations.
Enforcement may include investigation, arbitration, mediation, litigation, and monitoring
of any settlement agreements that may result from these actions. Consultant shall comply
with information requests, on-site compliance reviews, and reporting requirements.
(viii) Consultant shall maintain a complaint log and inform the Department
of the Treasury of any accusations of discrimination on the grounds of race, color, or
national origin, and limited English proficiency covered by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act
of 1964 and implementing regulations and provide, upon request, a list of all such reviews
or proceedings based on the complaint, pending or completed, including outcome.
Consultant must also inform the Department of the Treasury if Consultant has received
no complaints under Title VI.
(ix) Consultant must provide documentation of an administrative
agency’s or court’s findings of non-compliance of Title VI and efforts to address the non-
compliance, including any voluntary compliance or other agreements between the
Consultant and the administrative agency that made the finding. If the Consultant settles
a case or matter alleging such discrimination, Consultant must provide documentation of
the settlement. If Consultant has not been the subject of any court or administrative
agency finding of discrimination, please so state.
(x) If Consultant makes sub-awards to other agencies or other entities,
Consultant is responsible for assuring that sub-recipients also comply with Title VI and all
of the applicable authorities covered in this assurance.

Exhibit A to this Exhibit 1 shall be referred to herein as “Authorized Service Providers.” City
reserves the right to revise the listed Authorized Service Providers (e.g., adding or deleting

of Authorized Service Providers, and only such persons, are hereby authorized and shall have the
right to request the lodging of persons being housed pursuant to the Bridge to Placement

that the employee/agent of the Authorized Service Provider inspects, photographs, and documents
the condition of the guest room to be occupied by the Bridge to Placement, in addition to the

immediately notify the Authorized Service Provider and allow sufficient time, but in no event less
than twenty-four (24) hours, to permit an employee/agent of the Authorized Service Provider to
inspect, photograph, and document the condition of the guest room previously occupied by the

Employees/agents of Authorized Service Providers, at City’s sole cost and expense, shall have
the right to book and occupy up to two (2) guest rooms at the Hotel for their own use at any time
during the Term of this Agreement. In the event the Authorized Service Providers have not already
exercised their right to book and occupy the two (2) guest rooms and the Hotel is approaching full
occupancy (approaching full occupancy means 90% occupancy or greater), Owner shall notify the
Authorized Service Providers 72 hours in advance and the Authorized Service Providers shall

or use of guest rooms, or for any other reason or purpose. City shall not be responsible for the
payment of room-rate charges incurred by any Hotel guest other than Bridge to Placement
Participants or employees/agents of Authorized Service Providers whose occupancy at the Hotel
fully complies with each and every provision of this Agreement.

Agreement at any time for any or no reason upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Owner. City
shall have no obligation to pay for any charges incurred after this Agreement's expiration or
termination. Expiration or termination of this Agreement shall have no effect on City’s obligation
to pay for charges properly incurred during the Term hereof.

Authorized Service Provider continues to occupy a guest room after the expiration of the Term,
including any extensions thereof, this Agreement shall be automatically extended on a month-to-

service. Owner shall coordinate with the employee/agent of the Authorized Service Provider
checking-in a Bridge to Placement Participant to ensure that all such items, amenities, and services

reasonable commercial-standard estimates. City shall have the right to inspect the damaged
property, verify to City’s satisfaction the cause of such damage, and evaluate the reasonableness
of the scope and dollar amount of the proposed restoration. City shall not unreasonably delay,
condition, or withhold its preapproval. City shall have no obligation to reimburse Owner for
costs and expenses incurred without City’s preapproval. Owner’s failure to comply with the

to ensure that employees/agents of Authorized Service Providers inspect, photograph, and
document the condition of guest rooms, in addition to the common area in the vicinity of such
guest rooms, at both check-in and check-out—shall relieve City of any obligation to reimburse
Owner for the proposed restoration under this Agreement or otherwise.
2.2 Avoidable Damages Not Recoverable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement or elsewhere, City shall have no obligation for the payment of any damage,
loss, injury, cost, or expense putatively caused by a Bridge to Placement Participant if such

through the Owner’s exercise of due care and its compliance with the provisions of this Agreement,
including without limitation Section 1.11 (Services, Utilities, and Supplies to be Furnished by
Owner) and Section 1.12 (Prohibited Participant Conduct).
2.3 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that City’s primary purpose and interest
in entering into this Agreement is to secure interim housing for persons experiencing
homelessness. Accordingly, in any legal action for breach of this Agreement, City shall have the
right to pursue the remedy of specific performance, in addition to all other remedies at law or
equity. In the event of any action wherein the City seeks specific performance of this
Agreement, Owner shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
Packet Pg. 68
7
2.4. Quiet Enjoyment. While keeping and performing covenants of this Agreement,
City shall peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy guest rooms occupied by Bridge to Placement
Participants without hindrance or interruption by Owner or any other persons claiming by or under
Owner (subject to any relevant provisions set forth in this Agreement).
2.5. Casualty and Destruction. If fire, earthquake, or other casualty results in the
total destruction of the Hotel, this Agreement shall terminate automatically. If such casualty
renders ten percent (10%) or less of the Hotel unusable for the intended use, Owner shall restore
the premises as quickly as reasonably possible, but in any event within thirty (30) days. If such
casualty renders more than ten percent (10%) of the Hotel unusable but does not constitute total
destruction, Owner shall forthwith give notice to City of the specific number of days required to
restore the premises. If Owner does not give notice within fifteen (15) days after such partial
destruction, or if the notice specifies that restoration will require more than ninety (90) days to
complete from the notice date, City shall have the right to elect either to terminate or continue
this Agreement at City’s sole and absolute discretion.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO
AND SB EXPRESS ONE LLC
This Agreement is made and entered into as of June 30, 2023, by and between
the City of San Bernardino, a charter city and municipal corporation organized and
operating under the laws of the State of California with its principal place of business at
Vanir Tower, 290 North D Street, San Bernardino, CA 92401 (“City”), and SB Express
One LLC, a California nonprofit corporation with its principal place of business at 205 E
Hospitality Lane, San Bernardino, CA 92408 (hereinafter referred to as “Consultant”).
City and Consultant are hereinafter sometimes referred to individually as “Party” and
collectively as the “Parties.”
RECITALS
1. In compliance with the Homelessness State of Emergency,
which was declared on February 1, 2023, the City is taking
progressive steps to mitigate homelessness.
2. Because most of the City’s shelters are at full capacity, the City has
negotiated the use of up to 100 motel rooms from the Super 8 Motel located
at 205 E Hospitality Lane in San Bernardino. Specifically, the City will utilize
75 rooms and at the discretion of the property owner have incremental
access of up to an additional 25 rooms (100 total) as needed. The motel

STAFFING
It is requested at least (1) roving illegal dump collection crew of at least 3 participants
and one supervisor be provided on a daily basis for street/row cleanup activities. An
additional standard crew of at least 6 participants (plus a supervisor) is requested for
larger clean-up of vacant city lots or other City property.
•Supplemental Staffing: Two (2) supplemental roving illegal dump collection crews are
requested within this agreement. The City recognizes that this is contingent upon
participant availability.
•Optional Staffing: A third (optional) crew of at least 4 participants and one supervisor is
also highly desired to assist with janitorial services at approximately 20 city parks. A
fourth (optional) crew of at least 2 participants plus one supervisor is desirable for graffiti
abatement/curb painting. Please Note: The cost for optional crews should not be
reflected in overall cost for services, but, rather, included as a separate amount.
Program Participants: The organization will ensure that crews providing services to
the city will be comprised of individuals who live in San Bernardino County, have
criminal conviction(s), and have been thoroughly screened by the organization to
ensure they will be suitable participants for a program of this nature.
EQUIPMENT
The organization must provide a listing of available equipment and supplies to reassure the City
of its ability to perform required work tasks. While no specific equipment is mandated, it is
generally expected that the organization will possess the following:
•2 large stake bed trucks
•3 passenger vehicles with trailer-mounted porta-potties
•Rakes, blowers, weed-whackers, litter pickers, pressure-washers,
•All necessary PPE for employees
Packet Pg. 163
EXHIBIT A
Additional Notes:
Litter collection may be required from sidewalks, store fronts, alcoves, entrances, crevices and
may include items such as leftover food, used clothing/shoes, debris, syringes, and is not limited
solely to paper-based wrappings or discarded food packaging. These items may be
disposed in City trash receptacles (if at a low volume) and/or brought to the City yard for higher
volumes (excluding syringes/needles).
Litter collection in ravines, creeks, washes, or embankments will require a separate agreement
between both parties (the City and Organization) to ensure maximum safety should the need
arise. The inability to provide these tasks will not disqualify the organization from consideration
for this project.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE 501 (c) 3 ORGANIZATION
The organization will:
•Perform all outreach, recruitment, screening, and enrollment for program participants
and will manage all aspects related to participant’s requirements for verification or
participation in the program. The City will not verify any individual’s participation in work
tasks (or employment) for any outside entities or other related agencies requesting such
information.
•Screen all participants and provide supervisory controls to ensure eligibility and fitness
for work,
•Provide supervisors for each work crew.
•Ensure the safety of all participants to include training for working in streets, proper PPE
usage, and any other safety-related training.
•Provide compensation in accordance with all local, state, and federal minimum wage
laws.
•Provide participants with the following services:
o Pre-employment training.
o Job coaching and job placement services.
o Post-placement services.
o Counseling services (referrals).
•Indemnify the City of all and any potential liability stemming from any work or services
provided to the City. Indemnification waivers (provided by the city) must be signed by all
participants.
TERM:
The term for these services is from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024, with four (4) annual option
years, culminating on June 30, 2028.
HOMELESS ENCAMPMENT DISCLAIMER(S)
The organization may reserve the right and sole discretion to decline to perform right-of-way
maintenance services at a city-designated site if such site contains potentially hazardous
materials, including but not limited to biohazardous materials, an active or recently active
homeless encampment, and/or if any persons impacted by homelessness are near the site.
Packet Pg. 164
EXHIBIT A
Both parties agree that should litter and/or illegally dumped items be reasonably considered by
CEO to be the personal property of homeless individuals, CEO will elect to not disturb said
items and will notify the City.
WORK TASK DEFINITIONS:
1. Litter Collection from Grounds. This includes the collection of all litter from the median or
island grounds to include collection from grass turf, landscape beds, decorative rock beds,
stamped pavement, pavers, or concrete surfaces. Litter shall include non-typical discarded
items, such as syringes, used clothing/shoes and is not limited solely to paper-based wrappings
or discarded food packaging. Syringes and biohazards should be appropriately separated and
disposed of properly in accordance with applicable rules and regulations.
2. Palm Frond Collection. Collection of palm fronds on City ROWs, sidewalks, or other City-
owned properties. Removal of fronds from storm drains/gutters and greenbelts. Support during
and post-windstorm events is expected when tasks can be accomplished safely.
3. Scraping and Removal of Slap Stickers. Removal of minor slap stickers or other
adhesive-based graffiti on City poles, utility boxes, fences, etc. This will likely require scraping
and other methods to remove the stickers. Wipe down of any leftover residue is required.
4. Sweeping/Blowing. Sweeping/blowing of sidewalks, parking lots, curbs, walking trails and
collection of left-over debris. Areas should be free of any dirt/silt once sweeping or blowing is
complete.
5. Weed Abatement. Removal of weeds from City rows, landscaped areas, medians, City
property, greenbelts, easements, alleys. This will require manual or powered-tool removal prior
to spraying with chemicals (either by licensed City Staff or a licensed volunteer with appropriate
Pesticide license).
6. Minor Graffiti Removal. Removal of graffiti (painted, marked) on City property to include
intersection poles, utility boxes, fences, windows, pedestrian crossing signs, etc. This may be
accomplished through non-toxic chemicals, pressure washing, or touch-up with matching paint.
7. Minor Touch-Up Painting. This may occur in City-owned buildings (exterior only), fences,
walls, or other similar infrastructure requiring paint touch-up. The city will provide paint and paint
supplies.
8. Raking of Landscaped Areas. All landscape beds (regardless of the volume of
plants/shrubs) will be raked free of minor yard waste, clippings, litter, etc. All dead leaves or
debris under plants/shrubs shall be raked away to create a clean appearance. Other non-
typical areas may be requested.

present; plants to be provided by City staff.
11. Curb/Gutter Trash Collection. Trash and other debris on curbs, gutters, or storm drains
will require careful collection as to not cause accidental deposit into storm drains. Sweeping

may be requested. This may include red (no parking) touch up along with other regulatory
markings. This will be minor in nature and the city will provide all applicable materials and

landscaping upgrade projects. These projects may include restoration of small, landscaped
areas, sitting areas, and other beautification efforts at street islands, greenbelts, and pocket

SCHEDULE OF SERVICES
Work Reporting and Notification. The organization will be required to notify the City
representative (via email) of the amount of crews available to perform work on a daily basis.
Upon notification, the City representative will determine which work locations will be assigned.
Variations to this process may occur when work tasks/locations are determined in advance by
the City representative. If possible (and without creating an extra, undue, burden to the
organization), before and after photos of work accomplished will be highly desirable for City
staff.
•General Daily Operations for Roving Illegal Dump Crew(s): Roving illegal dump
crews will be assigned arterial streets to inspect (drive) and begin collection of litter and
illegally dumped items. Should all assigned streets be completed before the end of day,
the Crew Supervisor will contact the City representative (Streets Supervisor) and request
additional tasks for the day. Throughout the workday, the Crew Supervisor may receive
no-notice litter collection or illegally dumped items requests. Once he or she receives
this call, he may make a judgement call as to collect the items immediately or wait until
the last work hour of the day unless he receives specific instructions to collect the
litter/items immediately. The intent is to not bounce crews all over town with individual
requests (however, this may unfortunately happen on rare occasions).
Other Assigned Tasks: As previously described, crews may be assigned minor landscaping
tasks such as weed abatement, brush removal, vegetation removal, sediment removal from time
to time. Though this is not the primary work task, it will be requested by the Streets Supervisor
when the need arises. The City will make every effort to provide advance notice of these types
of requests.
Hours of Operation. All work will be performed Mondays to Fridays within the hours of 7 a.m.
to nightfall unless otherwise exempted by the City representative. Work is not generally allowed
during nighttime. The term “within” is meant to describe the range of hours for work and
does not include work during the entire timeframe. In other words, a 7:30am to 2pm shift
is acceptable or a 8:30am to 3:30pm shift is acceptable. A minimum of 6.5 work hours
per day is expected (excluding lunch breaks).
Requests from The Public. The organization is prohibited from taking direct requests from any
residents, City staff (not affiliated with the Operations and Maintenance Division), or any other
organizations while performing work for the City. The organization will make every effort to
politely inform the requesting individual to contact San Bernardino’s Help Line. Any instance of
work performed as a result of a direct request outside of this agreement may be cause for
termination.
Disposal. The city authorizes the organization to dispose of any debris, green waste, bulky
items ONLY related to work tasks assigned by the city representative. All efforts will be made to
separate green waste and properly dispose (recycle) it at the corresponding bin located in the
city yard.
•Bulky items (discarded furniture, etc.) collected during volunteer work shall be disposed
of (recycled) at the City Yard. Such items cannot be collected and/or kept for personal
use by the organization or its staff.
Packet Pg. 167
EXHIBIT B
•Syringes/needles will be appropriately disposed of using sharps containers (the city is
able to provide these containers if needed).
•Biohazards/fecal matter will be mitigated using proper procedures by trained/certified
volunteer personnel or should be left behind with City staff being immediately notified of
the location.
City Yard Access. Access will be granted to the organization and staff for disposal of trash,
debris, or any other collected items from daily work tasks. Generally, the City Yard is open from
6 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., however, badge access will be provided to the crew supervisors, managers,
and/or team lead for access to the disposal areas of the yard should gates be locked. No more
than 3 badges will be granted.

operations to which the insurance applies, and the expiration date of such insurance.
6.7 Policy Provisions Required
6.7.1 Subrecipient shall provide the City at least thirty (30) days prior
written notice of cancellation of any policy required by this MOU, except that the
Subrecipient shall provide at least ten (10) days prior written notice of cancellation of
any such policy due to non-payment of the premium. If any of the required coverage is
cancelled or expires during the term of this MOU, the Subrecipient shall deliver renewal
certificate(s) including the General Liability Additional Insured Endorsement to the City
at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of cancellation or expiration.

named insureds shall not be called upon to contribute to any loss.

recovery prior to a loss. Subrecipient hereby waives its own right of recovery against
City, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each
of its subcontractors.
6.7.5 The limits set forth herein shall apply separately to each insured
against whom claims are made or suits are brought, except with respect to the limits of
liability. Further the limits set forth herein shall not be construed to relieve the
Subrecipient from liability in excess of such coverage, nor shall it limit the Subrecipient’s
indemnification obligations to the City and shall not preclude the City from taking such
other actions available to the City under other provisions of the MOU or law.

federal law.
6.9. Additional Insurance Provisions
6.9.1 The foregoing requirements as to the types and limits of insurance
coverage to be maintained by Subrecipient, and any approval of said insurance by the
City, is not intended to and shall not in any manner limit or qualify the liabilities and
obligations otherwise assumed by the Subrecipient pursuant to this MOU, including, but
not limited to, the provisions concerning indemnification.
6.9.2 If at any time during the life of the MOU, any policy of insurance
required under this MOU does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and
not replaced, City has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems
necessary and any premium paid by City will be promptly reimbursed by Subrecipient or

Council, nor any of the officials, officers, employees, agents or volunteers shall be
personally responsible for any liability arising under or by virtue of this MOU.
6.10 Subcontractor Insurance Requirements. Subrecipient shall not allow any
subcontractors or subconsultants to commence work on any subcontract until they have
provided evidence satisfactory to the City that they have secured all insurance required
under this section. Policies of commercial general liability insurance provided by such

insured using ISO form CG 20 38 04 13 or an endorsement providing the exact same
coverage. If requested by Subrecipient, City may approve different scopes or minimum

insurrection, strikes, lockouts, riots, floods, earthquakes, fires, casualties, acts of God,
acts of the public enemy, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, freight embargoes or lack
of transportation, weather-caused delays, inability to secure necessary labor, materials
or tools, delays of any contractors, subcontractor or supplier, which are not attributable
to the fault of the Party claiming an extension of time to prepare or acts or failure to act
of any public or governmental agency or entity. Delays encountered by either Party in
obtaining governmental actions, reviews, approvals and permits shall not be deemed to
be an enforced delay or a force majeure event pursuant to this Section. An extension of
time for any such force majeure event shall be for the period of the enforced delay and
shall commence to run from the date of occurrence of the delay; provided, however, that
the Party that claims the existence of the delay has first provided the other Party with
written notice of the occurrence of the delay within seven (7) calendar days after the
commencement of such occurrence or delay. A Party’s failure to timely submit such
notice of the occurrence of the delay pursuant to this Section shall be precluded from
asserting the occurrence of an enforced delay or force majeure event.
8. Termination.
8.1 Termination for Convenience. Either City or Subrecipient may terminate
this MOU at any time without cause by giving the other written notice of the date of
termination at least 30 calendar days before. If this MOU is terminated as provided
herein, Subrecipient will return unexpended and unobligated balance of ARPA funds
provided to Subrecipient under to this MOU to City within thirty (30) calendar days.

timely and proper manner its obligation under this MOU, or if Subrecipient violates any
of the covenants of this MOU, City has the unilateral right to terminate this MOU by
giving Subrecipient written notice at least five calendar days before termination. The
notice must refer to this clause, specify the nature of the alleged default, and specify the
effective date of the termination. If this MOU is terminated as provided herein,
Subrecipient will return unexpended and unobligated balance of ARPA funds provided
to Subrecipient under to this MOU to City within thirty (30) calendar days.

ENTREPRENEURIAL DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
The following programs and activities from the Inland Empire Center for
Entrepreneurship (IECE) at California State University San Bernardino will provide
resources and support for entrepreneurs and small business owners located in the City
of San Bernardino. The goal is to aid aspiring and existing small business owners
through business counseling and specialized business assistance programs to help
them recover from the ongoing and residual effects of the pandemic and build
sustainable resilience to navigate and survive future economic challenges.
The proposed activities and services will be delivered by our premier programs – the
Inland Empire Small Business Development Center (SBDC) and Women’s Business
Center (WBC) – and in addition to providing new services and programs, will leverage
our existing infrastructure, staff, faculty and funding support. Thus, the City is investing
in a well-established program and leveraging a wide range of State and Federal funds
currently invested in the IECE.
Total Project Cost: $3,843,138.77 (average annual cost - $1.28 million)
Funding Needed: $1,873,699.97
Funding Proposed: $2,000,000.00
Funding period: 3 years
1. Entrepreneurial Resource Center (ERC)
Project Overview
Historically there has been a lack of coordination among the roughly two
dozen organizations working to support entrepreneurship in the Inland
Empire. While some of the smaller entities leverage the programs and
resources of larger, better-established organizations, most work in relative
isolation and lack the capacity to meet the changing needs of entrepreneurs
as they move from initial idea to business launch. These coordination deficits
result in duplicative efforts and disjointed programming that can be difficult to
access and navigate.
The Entrepreneurial Resource Center (ERC) will provide a centrally
located and easily accessible hub for small business training and
technical assistance. The ERC will bring together a wide range of
entrepreneurial support organizations to provide a complete set of training,
technical assistance, and access to resources for small business owners and
Packet Pg. 349

entrepreneurs in the general service area of the location. It will improve
access to resources for all aspiring and existing entrepreneurs, increase the
rate of business creation, and foster greater success and long-term
sustainability for local small businesses.
The ERC will be anchored by the IECE—one of the largest university-based
Centers for Entrepreneurship in the world and the most experienced and
comprehensive entrepreneurial technical assistance provider in the Inland
Empire —and the globally recognized School of Entrepreneurship (SoE),
which remains the first and only school of its kind in the state. The extensive
array of entrepreneurial support programs offered by the IECE and SoE
encompasses every stage of company formation and growth. Together the
IECE and SoE will work with partner entrepreneurial support organizations to
set clear objectives, develop programming, and deliver services with tangible
results.
Historically entrepreneurial support organizations in the region have worked
largely in isolation, though a small number have focused on leveraging the
programming and resources of larger, more established organizations. The
ERC will convene these actors in order to create a well-defined and well-
coordinated continuum of services capable of supporting businesses across
their entire lifecycle. It will also work with the potential Supply SB supplier
(part of the San Bernardino Investment Playbook) diversity initiative to
connect local Latino and Black vendors to contract-readiness programming
and procurement-focused sales opportunities.
Key Objectives of the ERC
•Ensure that all current and aspiring small business owners have
consistent access to the resources they need to start and grow their
businesses.
•Provide long-term small business support that ensures sustainable
success.
•Address disparities in small business ownership and entrepreneurship
through a deliberate focus underrepresented groups in the city, and as
appropriate, surrounding communities (e.g., Rialto, Highland, Colton,
Redlands).
•Increase coordination and collaboration among entrepreneurial support
organizations working within the region in order to establish a clear and
easy-to-access continuum of support for entrepreneurs and small
business owners.

Location, Size, and Scope
The target location for the ERC is the Chase Building in downtown San
Bernardino at Studio D.
Facility size: approximately 5,000 square feet, to include: Private office space:
9 offices for IECE and partner organizations
Number of people working in the facility (including administrative staff): 10-15
Cohort-focused programs: 50 per cohort, offered quarterly in English and
Spanish
Foot traffic (drop-in public events, use of meeting space, etc.): 2,500 served
each year, 10 percent of which will be drop-in traffic.
Program Components
The ERC, at its core, will provide both short and long-term business
counseling and training services from programs such as the Inland Empire
Small Business Development Center (IESBDC), Inland Empire Women’s
Business Center (IEWBC) that will assist business owners at every stage of
development, from startup to growth. In addition, we plan to provide a range
of specialized programs and services (based on need and demand) such as:
•Marketplace Program – Assists entrepreneurs as they move from initial
idea to microbusiness launch with tracks for farmers market / craft fair
sales (IE Made), e-commerce (California Shop Small-Amazon),
wholesale (procurement network), and exports.
•SBDC Eats Program – Six-week program that prepares participants to
start and run a food-based business (includes follow-on counseling).
•Catapult Business Growth Network – 50-hour intensive for small
business owners focused on key concepts and tools proven to drive
and manage business growth (includes peer mentoring network).
•Financial Fitness Boot Camp – Four-day workshop for small business
owners focused on financial literacy and financial management basics.
•Main Street Digital Program – Assists brick-and-mortar businesses
interested in having an online presence.
•SBDC Center for Contracting – Helps small businesses with contract
readiness and securing contracts.
•UpStarters Discovery Program – Introduces middle and high school
students to entrepreneurship fundamentals.
•Startup programs and workshops delivered in Spanish – like ones
delivered by Association de Emprendedor@s.
•Other entrepreneurial support programs and services based on
need/demand.
IECE estimates that more than 2,500 small businesses will be served
annually through the ERC, with small business owners receiving access to
free business counseling, training and mentoring programs.

Cost
To create the ERC and ensure a minimum operating period of 3 years will
require an investment of approximately $3.84 million (approximately $1.28
million per year). This will leverage the IECE and SoE current annual
investment of over $600,000 in small business technical assistance resources
(staff and programs) in addition to the City contribution as provided for in this
MOU, and allow for establishment of the location, performing necessary
facility improvements, and ongoing space costs, deploying additional staff
resources necessary, and support for partner organizations. A sustainability
plan is in place that will allow the ERC to operate indefinitely. In addition to
seeking ongoing funding through various grants, the intent is to have the
planned farmers market; co-working space, incubator and commercial food
kitchen/food lab (if applicable) generate sufficient revenue at maturity to cover
the annual operating costs.
Reporting
The IECE will report to the City the following key program metrics on a
quarterly basis:
•Clients counseled
•Clients trained
•Jobs supported
•Investment capital received
•Government contracts and certifications received
•Aggregate demographic data of clients served, including gender,
ethnicity, veteran status (as reported by clients)
•Aggregate business demographic data – industry type (as reported by
clients)
•Client success stories
•Additional data, as agreed upon by the IECE and the City of San
Bernardino

the requirements of this Agreement, some subcontractors may be small, disadvantaged
businesses and unable to meet the insurance requirements as defined above. In the

this MOU.
3. NON-DISCRIMINATION/GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES

opportunity to every potential minority and women's business vendor,
contractor, and subcontractor.

that person’s tenure, may have any direct interest, in any contract or
subcontract, or the process thereof which conflicts with the work to be
performed in connection with the programs activities assigned under this
MOU.
4.2 By entering into this MOU, Subrecipient certifies that:
(A) No federal appropriated funds have been paid or will be paid, by or
on behalf of Subrecipient, to any person for influencing or attempting
to influence an officer or employee of any agency, a Member of
Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a
Member of Congress in connection with the awarding of any federal
contract, the making of any federal grant, the making of any federal

loan, the entering into of any cooperative agreement, and the
extension, continuation, renewal, amendment, or modification of any
federal contract, grant loan, or cooperative agreement.
(B) If any funds other than federal appropriated funds have been paid or
will be paid to any person for influencing or attempting to influence
an officer or employee of any agency, a Member of Congress, an
officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a member of
Congress in connection with this federal contract, grant, loan, or
cooperative agreement, Subrecipient must complete and submit
Standard Form-LLL, "Disclosure Form to Report Lobbying," in

and programmatic/operational goals and procedures. Subrecipient will
establish such fiscal controls and fund accounting procedures as required
by federal regulations, or as may be deemed necessary by the City to
assure the proper disbursal of, and accounting for, funds paid to
Subrecipient under this MOU. Subrecipient must maintain separate
accounts within established bookkeeping systems for ARPA funds.
5.2 Subrecipients subject to Title 2 CFR Part 200 must deposit funds in an
account requiring two signatures for disbursement and submit to City
specimen signatures for all authorized signatories prior to receipt of funds.
5.3 City will pay Subrecipient progress payments at the time and in the manner

Coronavirus State & Local Fiscal Recovery Funds: Overview of the Final Rule
U.S. Department of the Treasury
Assistance to Small Businesses
Small businesses have faced widespread challenges due to the pandemic, including periods of
shutdown, declines in revenue, or increased costs. The final rule provides many tools for recipients to
respond to the impacts of the pandemic on small businesses, or disproportionate impacts on businesses
where pre-existing disparities like lack of access to capital compounded the pandemic’s effects.
Small businesses eligible for assistance are those that experienced negative economic impacts or
disproportionate impacts of the pandemic and meet the definition of “small business,” specifically:
1. Have no more than 500 employees, or if applicable, the size standard in number of employees
established by the Administrator of the Small Business Administration for the industry in which
the business concern or organization operates, and
2. Are a small business concern as defined in section 3 of the Small Business Act8 (which includes,
among other requirements, that the business is independently owned and operated and is not
dominant in its field of operation).
Impacted Small Businesses
Recipients can identify small businesses impacted by the pandemic, and measures to respond, in many
ways; for example, recipients could consider:
✓ Decreased revenue or gross receipts
✓ Financial insecurity
✓ Increased costs
✓ Capacity to weather financial hardship
✓ Challenges covering payroll, rent or
mortgage, and other operating costs
Assistance to small businesses that experienced negative economic impacts includes the following
enumerated uses:
✓ Loans or grants to mitigate financial
hardship, such as by supporting payroll
and benefits, costs to retain employees,
and mortgage, rent, utility, and other
operating costs
✓ Technical assistance, counseling, or other
services to support business planning
Disproportionately Impacted Small Businesses
Treasury presumes that the following small businesses are disproportionately impacted by the
pandemic:

The Buffalo East Side Avenues Initiative is one of the most ambitious community wealth building efforts in the country. After a
successful initial phase of investments in small business, placemaking, and workforce development along four historically
disinvested commercial corridors, the project team assembled an Investment Playbook to map out its next phase of work. This
Playbook has helped the Buffalo East Side Avenues Initiative secure $200M in federal, state, private, and philanthropic support.

The nation’s first 21st-century city
With inexpensive city-owned land, historic buildings, and close proximity to
multimodal transit and innovation-intensive institutions of higher education,
downtown San Bernardino has an opportunity to reclaim its position as
one of the crown jewels of the Inland Empire.
Low density, high potential
Underpopulated and underinvested today, downtown San Bernardino holds
out the prospect of sustainable urban living in a suburban setting.
The public face of San Bernardino
A reinvigorated, climate-ready urban core will improve quality of life
throughout the city, making it more attractive for current and prospective
residents and businesses alike.
Key to solving the climate crisis
From transit-oriented development and housing density to electric vehicle
(EV) infrastructure and energy-efficient buildings, downtowns have an
outsized role to play in the race for climate readiness.
Why Downtown San Bernardino?

stakeholders surfaced invaluable information about the concerns and
aspirations of San Bernardino residents and provided context and
inspiration for the Playbook as a whole.
These conversations identified six priority areas—Capacity,
Infrastructure, Housing, Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Community—as
well as the individual projects within each category.
Specific projects were developed in close collaboration with key
community partners, including El Sol Neighborhood Educational Center,
Just SB and its member organizations, and Uplift SB.

collection and analysis, strategic planning, long-term budget development, governance structures, staffing,
technological solutions). Group trainings and peer learning opportunities will complement one-on-one support
and create opportunities for local organizations to build connections, share lessons learned, and engage in
collaborative problem solving.
A delivery team will determine the scale and specific components of this initiative, develop cost estimates,
establish eligibility criteria, conduct an RFP process to secure consultants, and devise a roadmap for securing
funds and phased implementation.

ExploratoryHousing: Permanent Residential Real Estate Cooperative
The Uplift SB Housing Working Group will work with relevant stakeholders to establish the City’s first Permanent
Residential Real Estate Cooperative (PRREC). Unlike a traditional housing cooperative made up of those living in
a particular building, the PRREC will sell individual shares to community members interested in local control of
and investment in San Bernardino’s neighborhoods.
Members who live on the PRREC’s properties “will have [a] long-term renewable ‘diminishing rent lease’…[that]
simulate[s] direct homeownership in many ways: tenants build equity and payments lessen over time as the
building is paid off.” If a member-tenant decides to move out, they “sell” their lease in exchange for “a pre-
determined price based on their equity contributions to date,” which will ensure “a modest return…as well as
compensation for improvements.”
Uplift SB will also work with the PRREC to connect local community members to programs and services that can
increase homeownership readiness, avoid displacement, and support community wealth-building.
The Uplift SB Housing Working Group will identify specific project elements, develop cost estimates, determine
the appropriate ownership model, and devise a roadmap for securing funding, property acquisition, and phased
implementation.

ExploratoryCommunity: Inland Port Career Resource Center
An Inland Port Career Resource Center (IPCRC) in San Bernardino will expand capacity for skilled workforce
development by providing transit-accessible training for potential and incumbent workers in the region. Headed up
by key stakeholders from Just SB and other relevant entities, the IPCRC will connect area residents with clear,
well-supported pathways into high-demand careers that require some level of acquired skill (including those
related to climate adaptation). Career pathways will emphasize work-based learning, using earn-and-learn
apprenticeship and internship models whenever possible in order to give trainees real-world experience and
reduce the likelihood that they will need an additional job in order to make ends meet.
The IPCRC will improve collaboration and coordination within the area workforce development ecosystem by
bringing together relevant stakeholders from the private sector, P-12 and postsecondary education, workforce
training, state and local government, support services and community organizations in order to support worker
success and align IPCRC offerings with employer demand. To maximize impact, the IPCRC will proactively recruit
area residents, working with trusted community organizations to tailor outreach so that it speaks to the distinct
needs, concerns, and priorities of each target audience. It will also connect trainees to needed wraparound
supports as they move along their career pathways so that barriers such as unreliable transportation and lack of
childcare, limited career awareness and guidance, and poor study skills do not stand in the way of their success.
Objectives
•Establish well-supported and easily navigated pathways into quality jobs in the IE
•Increase the number and proportion of IE residents with quality jobs (particularly within disadvantaged and
disinvested communities in the region)
•Ensure that area employers have access to the skilled workers they need to grow

responsive manner. Outreach and engagement strategies will be tailored to the distinct needs, concerns, and
priorities of each target audience. Mutually beneficial partnerships with community organizations that have earned
the trust of target audiences will help connect with communities that historically have been harder to reach. In
order to ensure maximum benefit to San Bernardino’s disadvantaged and disinvested communities, the initiative
will also boost access to needed wraparound supports that will give students peace of mind and support their
success as they pursue their passions and prepare for their careers.

•Increase the number and proportion of San Bernardino students on pathways into quality jobs
(particularly within disadvantaged and disinvested communities)

These next steps will help San Bernardino harness
the full potential of this Playbook
1.Confirm and launch Nerve Center. This entity will play a crucial role in virtually every aspect
of Playbook development and implementation.
2.Raise local capital and grow local capacity first. In order to build momentum and capacity
for these transformational projects, San Bernardino will need to raise considerable local
capital, with soft commitments for additional support as other public and private funding is
secured.
3.Match local uses with available funding sources. Once project specifics and costs are
ironed out, the Nerve Center will work with local stakeholders to secure funding for projects.
This work may involve road shows to present the Playbook to potential funders (e.g., state
and federal policymakers, philanthropies, corporations).
4.Deploy Delivery Teams. Last-mile and Exploratory Playbook projects will need further
development in order to move forward. Delivery Teams composed of local stakeholders can
help ensure that these high-impact but less-concrete projects come to fruition.
