Members of City Council
Subject: FY 2022-23 Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program
(CIP) Reconciliation
Dear City Council Members:
Even though the worst of the pandemic is likely behind us, the City continues to
face new challenges and must position the FY 2022-23 Operating Budget and
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to remain flexible and manage baseline
services during times of economic and inflationary uncertainty. Even still, the City
has made it a priority to take steps to provide fiscal relief opportunities for
taxpayers, businesses, and non-profit organizations during the last two years and,
the budget for FY 2022-23 continues to address this as a priority area of concern
communicated from City Council. With the Adoption of the FY 2022-23 Operating
Budget, those fiscal relief efforts total more than $144 million to date. A portion of
this relief effort is associated with Virginia Beach's continued effort to provide
personal property tax relief by mitigating the impacts of the valuations of vehicles
for this calendar year and next. Even in the face of labor shortages and increased
demand for services, the City of Virginia remains committed to offering tax relief.
As is the case every year, demand for services and articulated needs far exceed
revenue projections. City Council heard the voice of the public and is reducing the
tax rate of$1.013 as recommended in the City Manager's FY 2022-23 Proposed
Operating Budget to a tax rate of$0.99. This is the same tax rate adopted by City
Council in the current year FY 2021-22. Even though the tax rate is being reduced,
City Council has not lost focus of flood protection needs throughout the City. The
Adopted FY 2022-23 Operating Budget will reflect a new Flood Protection Fund
with a real estate tax dedication equivalent of 4.10 to support the debt services
Members of City Council

Page l 2
associated with the approved $567.5 million bond referendum. This translates to an
operating budget utilizing 94.90 in real estate revenue to support and maintain
baseline services and dedicates 4.10 to the newly established fund.
Similar to the City, Virginia Beach City Public Schools (VBCPS) is in a good
position to maintain core services and even grow in some areas in FY 2022-23.
Through the use of expanded resources from the Commonwealth ($21.5 million)
and via the Revenue Sharing Formula ($27.7 million), VBCPS has proposed an
operating budget with a robust emphasis on staffing and compensation needs. The
Schools' Proposed Budget includes nearly $47 million in compensation-related
increases, incorporating a 5% salary increase, adjusting various ranges for hard-to-
fill positions, adding 58.48 FTEs, and reducing employee health care premium
costs. The School's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) also includes a significant
investment in school modernization needs with the full funding of Bettie F.
Williams Elementary Schools ($68 million) and Princess Anne High School
($162.5 million) within the six-year CIP. Within the FY 2022-23 Operating
Budget and CIP, VBCPS is able to sustainably support all of these initiatives, with
reliance on less than $1 million from their School Special Revenue Fund. The
Adopted Budget meets all of the funding needs and requirements put forth by
VBCPS in their Proposed Operating Budget.
Today, Virginia Beach remains a regional leader, with some of the lowest tax rates
and a thriving local economy. These and other notable investments in the
community will continue to make Virginia Beach a safe and welcoming city for
citizens and visitors alike.
On March 22,2022,the City Manager presented his Proposed FY 2022-23 Operating
Budget and Capital Improvement Program (CIP). After several weeks of City
Council workshops, departmental briefings, and public input at hearings and via
social media, it is recommended that the Operating Budget and CIP be adopted with
the following adjustments:
1. Reduce the real estate tax rate by 2.30 from the City Manager's Proposed tax rate
of$1.013 per $100 assessed value to $0.99 per $100 assessed value and reduce
estimated real estate tax revenue within the General Fund by $15,705,412. The
proposed budget included a 4.10 real estate tax dedication to support the Flood
Protection Program bond referendum approved by over 72% of voters in
November 2021. Of the total 4.10, 2.30 was to be supported through a proposed
tax increase with 1.80 being absorbed through natural growth in real estate tax
revenue. Eliminating this tax rate increase results in the City absorbing the full

FY 2022-23 Operating Budget and CIP Reconciliation
Page I 3
cost of Flood Protection Program bond referendum with no change in the $0.99
tax rate approved in the current year FY 2021-22. Of the total $0.99 tax rate, 4.10
will remain dedicated to the Flood Protection Program within a stand-alone fund
acting as a"lock box", with the remaining 94.90 supporting other base operations
and services.
2. Reduce the Sandbridge Real Estate tax rate by 20 decreasing the FY 2022-23
Real Estate Tax revenue within the Sandbridge SSD Fund by $297,643. This
reduction in revenue will be offset through an equivalent reduction in Sandbridge
Special Service District (SSD) Fund reserve for contingencies. Due to the healthy
performance of hotel tax revenues dedicated to the fund, this reduction in real
estate tax revenue is not anticipated to negatively impact the sand replenishment
cycle or prevent the current practice of ensuring two replenishments are funded
at all times.
3. On December 14, 2021, City Council made a motion to defer two Personal
Property tax relief initiatives and a BPOL tax relief initiative brought forth by the
Commissioner of Revenue (COR) to a date certain of May 10, 2021.
Subsequently, on March 15th, City Council acted, reducing Personal Property tax
rates to one millionth of one cent ($0.000001) on each one hundred dollars of
assessed valuation on vehicles of individuals at least 65 years of age or anyone
found to be permanently and totally disabled, as well as, on tangible personal
property for new businesses that qualify for the Business License Incentive
Program. Implementing this tax rate in FY 2022-23 results in the need to reduce
the City Manager's proposed Personal Property tax revenue by $336,132. This
reduction, when combined with applying the fair market value to vehicle
assessments (cost avoidance $42 million) and absorbing the Bond Referendum
dedication within the current year's tax rate of$0.99 per $100 assessed valuation
($28 million), result in a significant amount of tax relief and cost avoidance for
residents. To implement the BPOL recommendations of the COR would result in
the need to reduce the Proposed Operating Budget by an additional $2.2 million.
Considering the relief initiatives already being put forth, and understanding the
baseline needs for City operations, it is recommended that considerations to
modify BPOL threshold reductions be deferred indefinitely.
4. Utilize the $32.8 million General Fund compensation reserve included as a part
of the City Manager's Proposed budget to implement a hybrid pay plan system
and a citywide minimum wage of$15 per hour. The hybrid step includes a step
pay plan for public safety and a portion of the general workforce. The step plan
will be based on years of service with a goal of 3% separation between each step.
Members of City Council
FY 2022-23 Operating Budget and CIP Reconciliation
Page I 4
Implementation of this step plan will cover 80% of the City's workforce and is
the largest change to the overall pay structure within the last 20 years. The goal
is to provide every full-time and part-time City employee a minimum 5%
compensation increase, which will be handled in accordance with City Policy. Of
the total citywide cost to implement, the cost associated with Public Utilities and
Stormwater enterprise funds reduces the burden on this reserve and allows for the
implementation of$15 per hour minimum wage with little additional impact to
the General Fund. The total compensation reserve within the General Fund will
not support only the General Fund but other funds should they not be able to
absorb this increase such as Parks and Recreation Special Revenue Fund, Sheriff
Office Special Revenue Fund, and the Waste Management Fund.
5. Increase General Fund Non-Departmental contributions by $50,000 to provide
one-time grant funding to support the SonRise Christian Music Festival to be held
in Virginia Beach in September 2022.
6. Increase General Fund Non-Departmental contributions by $50,000 to provide
one-time grant funding to the Urban Renewal Center. These funds will be utilized
to implement the IMPACT Youth Arts program in Virginia Beach which will
consist of 15 week courses in dance, theater, and boating.
7. Reduce funding within General Fund Non-Departmental Operating Budget
micro-grant line item and establish a line item for a one-time grant contribution
of $5,000 to Transgender Assistance Program of Virginia (TAP). These funds
will be used to support ending homelessness within the transgender community
in Virginia.
8. Increase General Fund Non-Departmental Regional Grants by $8,646 for a one-
time contribution to support the Great Neck Athletic Association Football
Program, an all-volunteer organization directly affiliated with the Virginia
Beach Department of Parks and Recreation, to support tackle football for
Virginia Beach youth.
9. Increase the General Fund Municipal Council operating budget by $3,000 to
further support the Ignite Series.
10.Increase Cultural Affairs General Fund Operating Budget by $50,000 for
increased support to the Arts and Humanity Commission grant program and
redirect $115,000 of the Arts and Humanity Commission Grant funding to a
separate line item to make a direct contribution to the Museum of Contemporary
Members of City Council
FY 2022-23 Operating Budget and CIP Reconciliation
Page 15
Arts (MOCA) in the form of a grant. The $115,000 being redirected is the FY
2021-22 amount awarded to MOCA through the Arts and Humanities
competitive grant process. Providing these funds as a direct grant contribution to
MOCA will reduce any burden placed on MOCA staff when applying for the
grant.
11.Increase Cultural Affairs TIP Fund Operating Budget by $25,000 for increased
support to the Boardwalk Art Show. In FY 2022-23, the City will provide MOCA
with a contribution amount totaling $200,500 to support the Virginia Beach
Boardwalk Art show. Support for this initiative will be provided through the
appropriation of fund balance within the TIP fund.
12.Redirect funding within the General Fund Municipal Council's operating budget
to support the Independent Citizen Review Panel through the use of contractual
services. This results in the elimination of a proposed new FTE and redirects
$110,000 in funding to operating accounts to support the Independent Citizen
Review Panel.
13.Increase the Tourism Investment Program (TIP) funding in the Department of
Cultural Affairs Operating Budget by $140,000 for a grant contribution to the
ViBe Creative District. Support for this initiative will be provided through the
appropriation of fund balance within the TIP fund. When combined with the
$60,000 typically provided through the Virginia Beach Arts and Humanities,
total funding to the Creative ViBe District would be $200,000. With these funds,
the ViBe Creative District will improve branding, marketing, and advertising,
provide programming and events, and supplement artists and contracted
manpower for staffing support. On-going support at this level will be evaluated
annually and be determined by TIP Fund capacity and the annual spend of these
funds by the ViBe Creative District.
14.Increase the Open Space Fund authorized FTE count by 6.4 increasing salaries
and operating accounts by $431,023 and increasing the Open Space pay-as-you-
go transfer to the CIP by $1,000,000 to the Parks and Recreation CIP section. To
balance the fund, $1,431,023 is reduced from the Open Space reserve for
contingencies.
15.Increase the General Fund Emergency Management Services (EMS) operating
budget by $150,000 to convert 12 new EMT FTEs included in the proposed
budget to Paramedics.
Members of City Council
FY 2022-23 Operating Budget and CIP Reconciliation

16.Increase Town Center Special Service Fund Economic Development operating
budget by $300,000 for enhanced entertainment and security enhancements
providing block-by-block security for the grounds and plaza. This includes
ambassadors during the peak summer season, to address daily grounds cleaning
and engage with patrons. Support for this initiative will be provided through the
appropriation of fund balance within the Town Center SSD.
17.Increase the City of Virginia Beach Public Schools Grant Special Revenue Fund
Operating Budget by $14,432,365. This increase in appropriations are supported
through an estimated increase of $14,432,365 in federal revenue. These funds
will be utilized for construction/renovation projects to replace entire HVAC
systems in identified schools, additional funds for Title I personnel and benefits;
additional teachers and counselors for summer school; additional teachers
counselors, and bus drivers for before and after school programs, online STEM
resources for before and after school programs, fuel for before and after school
programs, stipends for reading and math teachers teaching online and face to face
sections of the same course(s) at the same time(s), take home manipulatives for
students to address unfinished learning, and funds to support transportation and
counselors for homeless students.
18.Ahead of the FY 2023-24 Operating Budget process, the City Manager is to
provide a report to City Council with options to establish a sustainable Parks and
Recreation- Recreation Center plan. This report will not be a recommendation
for support but instead will be used to provide City Council and the public with
clarity and the overall facility maintenance and long-term
replacement/modernization needs are for the existing City recreation centers. Per
a consultant, based on current facility conditions and age the priority of
modernization needs are in the following order Great Neck, Bayside, Princess
Anne, and Seatack. Included within this report will be a projection of the cost for
construction and operational needs as well as information of what funding gaps
might exist.
19.To improve the effectiveness and efficiencies of government in the delivery of
services, the City Manager is authorized to redirect long term vacancies and their
associated salary and fringe benefit cost to make organizational adjustments
necessary to implement the following initiatives:

support staff and executive assistance.
— To provide an additional FTE to the Resort Management Office in their
efforts to improve customer service and streamline service delivery with
the public and business community.
Offsets and Revenue
20.To provide resources and offsets for the changes related to items 1-19, the
following adjustments are made:
— Increase estimated revenue from the State Compensation board by
$1,182,634. Of this amount, $339,481 is estimated within the General
Fund and $843,153 within the Sheriff's Special Revenue Fund. The
transfer to the Sheriff's Special Revenue fund from the General Fund for
a compensation increase is reduced by a like amount.
— Increase estimated 599 State revenue within the General Fund by
$1,208,536.
— General Fund Interest Income is increased by $1,000,000.
— Reduce the "Emergent Need Reserve" within the General Fund by
$7,000,000.
— Eliminate 6.4 FTEs and reduce $431,023 within the Parks and Recreation
General Fund operating budget and reduce the General Fund pay-as-you-
go transfer to the CIP by $1,000,000.
— Reduce the General Fund pay-as-you-go transfer to the CIP by $4,514,970
with $2,000,000 of this reduction being offset by the use of General Fund
Fund Balance in year one of the six-year CIP.
— Increase the use of attrition savings by $185,414 within the General Fund.
CIP
21.Increase funding for CIP #100616 "MOCA Building Rehabilitation" by
$1,000,000 in year two of the six-year CIP and by $1,362,488 in year 3 of the
six-year CIP. The acceleration of this funding results in the reduction of
$2,362,488 programmed in year 5 of the six-year CIP. The funding source
supporting the acceleration of this project is General Fund pay-as-you-go
increases in year two and year three of the six-year CIP with $2,362,488 in
Members of City Council

Page 18
General Fund Fund Balance reduced in year 5 of the six-year CIP. Acceleration
of this project will allow the City to begin maintenance work of the MOCA to
better coordinate these efforts with the reaccreditation timeline.
22.Increase CIP#100058 "Centerville Turnpike Phase III" by $6,000,000 in year
one of the six-year CIP with Federal revenue increased accordingly. This
funding was secured by the hard work of the federal delegation and will allow
for the full funding of this project during the six-year CIP.
23.Since the presentation of the City Manager's Proposed FY 2022-23 Operating
Budget and CIP, the City was notified of additional funding to be provided by
the State to support the six-year CIP. A total of$16,578,625 in State revenue
was secured through the hard work of the state delegation and the Chair of the
Appropriations Committee. This funding is to be allocated within the six-year
CIP by the following amounts and for the following projects:
— Increase CIP#100278 "Nimmo Parkway VII-B" by $10,000,000 in year
one of the six-year CIP with State revenue increased accordingly. This
funding reduces the local obligation to this project reducing the need for
local funding in year five of the six-year CIP. As a result, $10,000,000 is
reduced in year five of the six-year CIP with programmed charter bonds
reduced by the same amount. The $10,000,000 in charter bond capacity is
preserved for future use by City Council.
— Establish CIP #100637 "Pungo Ferry Landing Park Improvements" in the
FY 2022-23 six-year with $2,585,625 programmed in year one of the six-
year CIP. The means of financing for this project is $2,585,625 in State
revenue.
— Establish CIP #100638 "Owl Creek Boat Ramps" in the FY 2022-23 six-
year with $3,993,000 programmed in year one of the six-year CIP. The
means of financing for this project is $3,993,000 in State revenue.
24.Reduce $2,514,970 in General Fund pay-as-you-go in year one of the CIP with
appropriations to the following projects reduced accordingly:
— CIT #100107 "Network Infrastructure Replacement III" ($1,000,000)
— CIT #100625 "Virginia Aquarium Security Camera" ($551,345)
Members of City Council
FY 2022-23 Operating Budget and CIP Reconciliation
Page I 9
— CIT #100623 "Migration of Virginia Aquarium SCADA to the City
Network" ($403,000)
— CIT #100626 "Public Use Facility Unified Meeting Space
Modernization" ($560,625)
Should allowable state, federal, or local resources become available throughout
the year, heavy consideration will be given to restoring these initiatives being
removed as a part of reconciliation.
25.Reduce CIP #100631 "Resort Area Site Acquisition" by $32,100,000 in year
one of the six year CIP. From this reduction, a total of$20,100,000, along with
the programmed public facility bond funding, is being eliminated from the six-
year CIP and preserved as future debt capacity within the TIP Fund. The
remaining $12,000,000 is being redirected to increase CIP #100146 "Atlantic
Park Entertainment Venue" by $8,000,000 and CIP #100606 "Atlantic Park
Offsite Infrastructure" by $4,000,000 both in year one of the six-year CIP. The
need for these increases is the result of construction cost increases driven by
supply chain issues and overall inflation. The split between the projects
referenced above are estimates and should the amounts differ the City Manager
is authorized to transfer between these two projects in an amount not to exceed
$12 million. Prior to the transfer, the City Manager will provide a report
expressing the intent, reasoning, and amount to be transferred.
Details about the funding sources and appropriation adjustments outlined in this
letter are identified on the attachments.
We want to thank the citizens who participated in public hearings or weighed in on
social media to offer their comments on the FY 2022-23 Operating Budget and CIP
and the staff members who made every effort to provide answers to our various
questions and respond to our requests for information. If you have any questions,
please contact us directly.
Sincerely,
Robert "Bobby" M. Dyer, Mayor Rosemary Wilson, Vice Mayor

Description and Scope
This project will fund repairs to the Museum of Contemporary Art(MOCA)building envelope,to include select repairs to the exterior walls,roof,windows,
doors,and clerestory windows. The project is intended to enhance the building envelope and extend the life of the facility in accordance with a facility
condition assessment conducted by HBA Architecture and Interior Design which was completed in September 2021.
Purpose and Need
Funds are needed to address areas where moisture intrusion is evident where the clerestory windows sills are located,to address the deterioration of
vertical expansion joints and cracks along the vertical/horizontal mortar joints in the exterior masonry and to replace the majority of exterior doors and
windows. This work will extend the life of the building and will enhance the ability to control the temperature and humidity levels within the building which
is essential to the display and preservation of fine art.
History and Current Status
This CIP first appeared in the FY2022-23 CIP. The original section of the MOCA building was constructed in 1987,with an addition completed in 2002.
At the request of PW Facilities,HBA Architecture&Interior Design visited the site 3 times in March and April 2021 to conduct non-destructive visual
inspections of the building interior,exterior,and site. The report concluded that both the original 34-year old main building and the 20-year old addition
are in good overall condition. The report provided specific recommendations for renovation and repairs to specific areas of the building envelope,to
include the metal and built-up roofs,the exterior masonry,and the windows and doors. This condition assessment was part of a larger study to evaluate
the space requirements for an addition to the MOCA building to enhance MOCA's ability to provide additional exhibit spaces for a variety of art exhibits.
This CIP does not address the costs for design and construction of additional space,only the costs for repairs to the building envelope.

Description and Scope
This project will design and construct the needed additional improvements to Pungo Ferry Landing Park(Phase II). To utilize the potential of the site for a
variety of users in the community,the addition of permanent restrooms,a small fishing pier,park shelters,kayak launch,connecting walkways and
expanded parking for park visitors and boater with trailers is planned. When the site was aquired in 2015,only the bare minimum improvements(new
boat ramp and minimal parking) were constructed due to available funding,severely limiting the variety of recreational opportunities to be provided. The
existing marina area will remain closed and will be renovated when funding becomes available and will be part of a future phase Ill development.
Purpose and Need
Pungo Ferry Park contains one of two City boat launch facilities on the North Landing River and is heavily used by boaters and provides the only sand
public beach on the river. The site currently provides 20 vehicle/trailer spaces and 27 vehicle spaces. On many occasions,parking availabilty will exceed
capacity creating parking conflicts and there are no other amenities other than a portable toilet. Adding additional park amenities will offer a variety of
recreational experiences for a broader range of the community.
History and Current Status
The Pungo Ferry Park site was acquired with Open Space Acquisition Funds in 2015 and was opened to the public with minimal improvements made to
include boat launch and parking.

Description and Scope
This project will make the needed capital repairs to Owl Creek Boat Ramp as recommended in a 2020 Facility Condition Assessment. Needed repairs
will include design and renovation of the existing concrete ramps and replacement of two finger piers to a floating system,and the construction of a
seperated kayak launch to address safety with boat and kayak users. The highest immediate priority of needed repairs to the bulkhead and piers is
scheduled for winter/early spring 2022 and funded through P&R CIP 100320(Parks&Special Use Facilities Development&Renovations). This specific
project will address the next level of priority of needed capital repairs(ramp,finger piers and kayak launch).
Purpose and Need
These improvements to the Owl Creek Boat Ramp will extend the life of the ramp,improve the safety of the motorized launch,provide easier access to
launched craft from the floating finger piers and provide a dedicated,safe launch for kayaks on the site but away from the ramps and launch basin and per
recommendations from the 2020 Facility Condition Assessment.
History and Current Status
In 2020,a Facility Condition Assessment of the Owl Creek Boat Ramp was completed. This included investigating the condition of the concrete ramps,
finger piers,tie-up slips and bulkheads. The assessment identified several deficiencies in the existing bulkhead wall and piers that need to be addressed
immedietely. These immediate repairs are scheduled for winter/early spring 2022 and funded through P&R CIP 100320(Parks&Special Use Facilities
Development&Renovations).The assessment also looked at options to add a new kayak launch on the site to safely seperate boat and kayak uses.

Description and Scope
This project funds the annual Information Technology(IT)infrastructure replacement program including hardware replacement,recurring maintenance,
associated licensing and upgrades.This project supports lifecycle management of the city's investments in technology infrastructure including data center
hardware,data center services,cloud and hybrid cloud infrastructure and services,network equipment,Virtual Desktop Infrastructure,licensing and
software,cloud account costs,and ingress/egress charges. Typical IT hardware is also covered such as:servers,routers,switches,network bridges,
firewalls,Storage Area Networks(SAN),GIS plotters and scanners,citywide internet and data center connectivity,Network Accessible Storages(NAS),
tape backups,uninterruptible power supplies.This also covers in-building cabling to ensure that infrastructure can support the new technical capabilities
and equipment as it is replaced and/or upgraded and the ability to contract for architecture services for planning,implementation and recommendations
for network changes and strategy.The project also covers annual and multi-year maintenance and support for the project's hardware.
Purpose and Need
Existing IT infrastructure must be maintained,upgraded,and replaced to sustain City operations.Without the ability to replace end of lifecycle equipment,
systems will fail and services,data,and information security will be jeopardized.Additionally,as the city continues to modernize its infrastructure,it must
be able to provide systems that are scalable,reliable,and secure to meet the growing business demands of our public safety and non-public safety
customers as well as meet the needs of a cloud first strategy.These requests will ensure that the city's existing investments are sustained and managed
throughout the lifecycle of technologies.
History and Current Status
This project first appeared in the FY 2018-19 CIP and is a continuation of CIP 3-068 IT Network Infrastructure Replacement Phase II.In the FY 2020-21
CIP,the scope of this project was modified to reflect additional activities to be funded.

Description and Scope
This project will allow the timely design and construction of certain offsite infrastructure connected to the Atlantic Park Project. These improvements
include Pacific Avenue and 19th Street traffic signal and pedestrian crossing,Pacific Avenue and 20th Street traffic signal,18th Street Streetscape
improvements from Artic to Pacific,18th Street Undergrounding Duct Bank,Arctic Avenue Streetscape improvements,Arctic Avenue Undergrounding
Duct Bank,19th Street and Baltic Avenue traffic signal relocation,20th Street Streetscape improvements and related stormwater,20th Street
Undergrounding Duct Bank,and stormwater improvements abutting the Project. It is anticipated this work will require coordination with the contractor
undertaking the Atlantic Park Development,and to avoid construction conflicts and consistent with any required procurement approvals the work is
intended to be prosecuted by cost participation agreement with the Developer of the Atlantic Park Project.
Purpose and Need
The work is consistent with the undergrounding of utilities and streetscape improvements undertaken in adjacent areas of the Resort. Moreover,the
decision to do this work now will avoid undertaking the work at a future date,which could duplicate costs.The current plan to provide these improvements
would be for the City Council to authorize appropriation of funds to the Atlantic Park Community Development Authority("CDA"),and the CDA would
commit to repayment to the City from revenues that exceed debt service for such times as the CDA has bonds outstanding and thereafter from the
revenues of the CDA prior to retirement of the CDA.
History and Current Status
The project was established at the November 16,2021 City Council meeting.The funding for this project is General Fund Fund Balance.Future
repayments for these funds should be made to the General Fund.In FY 2022-23,$4 million of PFRBs were programmed for this project,with the
associated debt service to be repaid by the Tourism Investment Program Fund.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM J
ITEMS: Councilmember Moss Proposed Revenue Neutral Real Estate Tax Rate FY
2022-23 Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program Related Ordinances
MEETING DATE: May 10, 2022
■ Background: On March 22, 2022, the City Manager released his proposed FY
2022-23 Resource Management Plan, which includes the Operating Budget and Capital
Improvement Program. Because the City Manager's Proposed Budget included an
effective tax increase, the City prepared the advertisement required. In this
advertisement, the revenue neutral rate of$0.9117 was provided. Councilmember Moss
has presented an alternative that provides the $69,172,097 in offsets to allow the City
Council to adopt a revenue neutral real estate tax rate FY 2022-23 Operating Budget and
Capital Improvement Program.
• Considerations: The necessary offsets have been identified from the following
sources:
• Allow certain funds provided to the School Board on February 1, 2022, to lapse
and redirect such lapsed funds to the Operating Budget ($32,938,822)
• Retain Schools Special Reserve Fund in Operating Budget instead of paygo
funding for Schools' projects ($11,000,000);
• Use $7,000,000 from City Council Emergent Reserve;
• Use $5,100,579 from Fuel Reserve;
• Additional vacancy savings of $22,000,000 by applying a 4.4% vacancy rate
above the City Manager's proposed use of 1.6% vacancy rate;
• Additional State Compensation Board and 599 funding identified in the
Reconciliation Proposal; and
• Redirect $1,644,074 from Town Center TIF Reserve.
This budget includes the $32,800,000 reserved for compensation in the City Manager's
Proposed Budget. This amount is sufficient to provide a 7.5% general compensation
increase, but it reserves the ability of the City Manager to use such funds for a step plan
or other compensation system within the amount appropriated.
Of the amounts from vacancy savings, this Budget provides $6,391,170 for a Personnel
Compensation Reserve and $6,250,000 for bonuses to achieve a floor of $15/hr for full
time City employees. The details of both programs are provided in Sections 21 and 22
of the Operating Budget Appropriation Ordinance.
In addition to the required offsets, an additional $261,378 was identified. This amount will
be directed as a grant to the Food Bank to allow services for food insecure residents.
The CIP includes a replacement of the proposed Resort Area Site Acquisition project
page and authorizes $17,000,000 (not $45,000,000) solely for the purpose of acquiring
the 17th Street parcel. The CIP also removes $22,000,000 in FY2023-24 programmed
use of fund balance to reflect the amounts used as vacancy savings in FY2022-23.
The CIP also includes additional federal and state revenues and programmatic increases
included in the Reconciliation Proposal in an amount of$22,578,625.
The changes described above require four ordinances to differ from the ordinances
included in the City Manager's Proposed Budget. These ordinances include:
1. An Ordinance to Appropriate Funds for the Fiscal Year Beginning July 1, 2022 and
Ending June 30, 2023 for Operations
2. An Ordinance Establishing the Tax Levy on Real Estate for Fiscal Year 2022-23
3. An Ordinance Establishing the Tax Levy on Personal Property and Machinery and
Tools for the Calendar Year 2023
4. An Ordinance to Adopt the FY 2021-22 through FY 2026-27 Capital Improvement
Program and to Appropriate Funds for the FY 2021-22 Capital Budget Subject to
Funds Being Provided from Various Sources Set Forth Herein
• Public Information: Two public hearings were held concerning the Operating
Budget and Capital Improvement Program.

My approach to the City Manager's
recommended budget
• Helpfamilies keepfood on
their table, gas in their car,
and a roof over their heads.
• Preclude the lost of hope and
the creation of desperation .

How is Governor You ngki n
Acting to help taxpayers
• Making state government more affordable for
working families and seniors. Advocating the
• Elimination of the tax on food tax
• One-time cash rebate to individuals and
couples
• Doubling the standard deductions for single
and joint filers
• Three-month state gas tax holiday
The State and Virginia Beach are enjoying the same
over performance of revenues.
The 91 Cents Revenue Neutral Real Estate Tax rate
aligns with Governor You ngki n's overarching leadership
tax relief initiatives
Making ggovernment more affordable for
workingfamilies and senior by delivering
tax relief to reduce the financial burden of
state government.
I am not willing to accept that 11 Members of City Council lack the ability to match
the leadership of Governor Youngkin. The question is, do we lack the will to deliver
what our employers, the people, are demanding of us?

What I heard from our
employers — Taxpayers/Voters
"They cannot afford the cost of
government Council wants to
impose — adopt 91 cents real
estate tax rate."
What I heard from our employees
— many being VB residents
"They need a pay plan that:
• Establishes a higher minimum
hourly rate.
• Implements the Market Survey.
• Establishes a step system .
5
5/3/2022
What did the City Manager
recommend ?
• No explicit pay raise or system
• $32 .8 million reserved f/raises
for Council decision-making
• Against adoption of Step plan
The major themes at the
public budget hearings
• Step plan compensation system
• Implement the Market Survey
• Adopt 91 cent real estate tax rate
• Add tax subsidy for VIBE/MOCA
• Council can do right by taxpayers and
employees, and provide real tax relief

Typical resident email that
CityCouncil is receiving
"Dear Council Members,
I am writing to let you know I am not in favor of the proposed increase in real estate taxes.This proposed tax increase will ruin working families and
elderly individuals on a fixed income.The city needs to find ways to help its citizen instead of trying to fund new fancy projects.
I want to give the perspective of a working family of 5 who lives in Virginia Beach.Here is a little background about me and my family.We have three
children,ages 5,3,and 7 months.I drive a 2017 used SUV and my husband drives 2007 used Honda civic with over 200,000 miles.We purchased
an 1850-square-foot home in 2018 and paid$300,000 for it.We both work full-time jobs,I am in my 7" year as a teacher and my husband is going on
20 years working for a neighboring county.Together we make around$90 000 before taxes.This should be a liveable wage for us,but it isn't.Due to
tax increases from last year,my payment went up to$59 dollars monthly this year and the city wants more.Not only did the tax increase everything I
purchase in my daily life has increased.My grocery bill which was around$100-$110 per week is now$160-$170 per week,gas prices to get to work
have increased,and utilities have increased.In addition,I work a part-time job for addtional income.my husband works side work for additional
income.and we are barely affording the"lavish lifestyle"we are living and the city wants more.We made informed choices about what we could
afford.we put a small amount away in every paycheck and do all the"right"things,and yet here we are struggling to maintain.I can't cut back
anymore.I already purchase the store brand essentials,I use cashback opportunities.I use coupons,and buy in-bulk when I am able to.My kids
deserve to have birthday parties,holiday presents,and all the things that come along with being a child but soon we will have to dip into those funds
in order to MAINTAIN!!!:
To further my point about the crunch on working families Here is a fun fact,I couldn't afford to throw my child a park birthday at one of our gorgeous
city parks.The rising costs of the basic party items for 6 kids and their parents included party food and drinks.basic entertainment(bubbles,chalk).a
small craft for kids,and decorations added up to around$165 dollars.This does not include a birthday present from mom and dad.To rent a shelter
at one of the parks depending on half-day vs full-day can run between$70-$140 dollars for a resident.A small child's birthday would have cost a little
more than$300 for basics.I bring this to your attention because these are the choices your working families are making daily.We ourselves are
robbing Peter to pay Paul.
1 beg you to vote NO to increased real estate taxes.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Note:Citycouncil@vb.com received on Tuesday,April 26,2022
What are the economic forces hurting
working families and seniors?
• March 22 over March 21 inflation up 8.5%
(that understates inflation experienced by families and businesses)
• Wages lagging inflation
• Higher food prices baked into the supply chain
not yet making it to the shelf
• Rent increases of 15 percent plus
• Energy increases (electric, gas, diesel &
gasoline)
Inflation tax to date on the average family is$5,200,forecasted by some to reach$7,200 by year's end.

WorkingFamilies & Seniors Adaptingby
• Deferring capital expenditures
• Eliminating wants
• Reclassifying past needs as wants
• Dipping into savings
• Deciding what bills to pay this month
• Trades on food-medicine-gas for the car
Working Families and Seniors are out of Margin. Higher City taxes means Beach residents doing without basic needs.
Working families and seniors are financially exhausted. They expect us
not to increase taxes. Good news is we can!

What could City Council do
to Help taxpayers & employees
• Not accelerate general fund capital projects
• Eliminate a $7M Council discretion account
• Eliminate a $5M fuel contingency account
• Not fund unrealistic on-board counts
• Make tax relief and increased compensation
co-highest priority
The State and Virginia Beach are enjoying the same
over performance of revenues.
Is it Possible for City Council to do
what the
City Employee and Homeowner
told us to do?
Take care of taxpayers and employees
within a 91 cents real estate tax rate.
Yes ! !
It is most doable.

Council Member Moss's path to a
Real Estate Tax Rate of $0.9117
• Reinstate the School Board's approved May 21 CIP —
recover "$43.9M in prior year cash surplus appropriated
to School Board on February 1, 2022 (ill conceived move)
• No acceleration of school construction
• Elimination of Astroturf installs
• Defer new payroll accounting system
• Eliminate Council discretion fund - $7M
• Eliminate fuel contingency plan - $5M
• Eliminate Pay Go for Parks - $1M
• Town Center TIF surplus - —1.7M
• Eliminate funding unrealistic on-board counts - $22M
10
5/3/2022
Why is the City Manager's Recommended
Budget On-board Count Unrealistic?
• The current bi-weekly vacancy rate for General Fund appropriated position in
the FY 2021— FY 2022 budget is 13.9 percent.
• The City Manager's FY 2022-2023 budget was built on an average vacancy rate
of 1.6 percent to attributed in his Executive Summary as requirement growth
reduction.
• The City Manager's FY 2022-2023 budget programmed $22 million in cash in FY
2023-2024 year of the FY 2022-2023 budget. The source of the cash a year from
now was confirmed by the City's Budget Director has coming from forecasted
under execution of the FY 2022-2023. $22 million equates to additional average
vacancy rate of 4.4 percent.
• Therefore real vacancy rate is under stated by 6 percent.
• One could question if increasing the average on-board count from 86.1% to an
average of 94% for an increase of 7.9% over the next twelve months is doable.
Final Summary of Accounts
91-cents Revenue Neutral Real State Tax Rate
• Required —$69.8 million in offset identified
• Additional ' $11.25 million in offsets allocated
to increase total appropriation for
compensation from $32.8 million to $44.05
million
• Funded the first-year —$28 million for flood
prevention referendum with cash, deferring a
real estate tax of 4.1 percent for a year
11
5/3/2022
Conclusion
I do not assert that the path I have laid out is the only way to
provide much needed tax relief. Tax relief for working families
and seniors and employees much deserved compensation.
It has been established that the need of taxpayers and
employees for tax relief and increased compensation
respectively, as well as no delay in executing the 21 flood
prevention bond referendum projects can be met within a
budget with a revenue neutral real estate tax of 91 cents.
Voters will have to judge if the offsets I have proposed "gut" the
budget or are reasonable actions to help them keep food on their
table, gas in their tanks, and roof over their heads.

Dear Council Members,

INVOCATION: Council Member Jones
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Vice Mayor Rosemary Wilson DISCLOSED that she is a real estate agent affiliated with Howard Hanna
Real Estate Services ("Howard Hanna'), who's Oceanfront Office is located at 303 34th Street Suite 102,
Virginia Beach, VA 23451. Because of the nature of realtor and real estate agent affiliation, the size of
Howard Hanna, and the volume of transactions it handles in any given year,Howard Hanna has an interest
in numerous matters in which she is not personally involved and of which she does not have personal
knowledge. In order to ensure her compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local
Government Conflict of Interests Act (the "Act'), it is her practice to thoroughly review the agenda for
each meeting of City Council for the purpose of identifying any matters in which she might have an actual
or potential conflict. If, during her review of the agenda for any given meeting of the Council,she identifies
a matter in which she has a `personal interest," as defined in the Act, she will file the appropriate
disclosure letter to be recorded in the official records of the City Council. Vice Mayor Wilson regularly
makes this disclosure. Her letter of February 20, 2018 is hereby made part of the record.
May 3, 2022
22
Vice Mayor Rosemary Wilson also DISCLOSED she has a personal interest in Dixon Hughes Goodman
and receives income from the firm as a result of her late husband's employment. The income is proceeds
from the sale of his partnership interest,paid out over an extended period of time. She is not an employee
of Dixon Hughes Goodman, does not have any role in management of the company and does is not privy to
its client list. However, due to the size of Dixon Hughes Goodman and the volume of transactions it handles
in any given year, Dixon Hughes Goodman may have an interest in matters of which she has no personal
knowledge. In that regard, she is always concerned about the appearance of impropriety that might arise
if she unknowingly participates in a matter before City Council in which Dixon Hughes Goodman has an
interest.In order to ensure her compliance with both the letter and spirit of the State and Local Government
Conflict of Interests Act (the "Act'), it is her practice to thoroughly review each City Council agenda to
identify any matters in which she might have an actual or potential conflict. If, during her review of an
agenda, she identifies a matter in which she has a `personal interest", as defined by the Act, she will either
abstain from voting, or file the appropriate disclosure letter with the City Clerk to be included in the official
records of City Council. Vice Mayor Wilson's letter of June 2, 2015 is hereby made a part of the record.

RESOLUTION
WHEREAS: In the small"village"of Virginia Beach on a cold December afternoon in 1951,attorney J.Peter Holland
III found himself at the scene of an accident.A local woman had been struck by a car near the corner of 24th Street and
Atlantic Avenue,but there was no ambulance available until an hour later.He and some friends worked to establish an
active volunteer ambulance service in Virginia Beach,and on May 1, 1952,the Princess Anne-Virginia Beach Rescue
Squad,Inc.began operations;and
WHEREAS: With the incorporation of the City of Virginia Beach and Princess Anne County in 1963,the growing
demand for emergency medical services necessitated the formation of other rescue squads operating within fire
stations.But the membership of the Virginia Beach-Princess Anne Rescue Squad elected to remain an independent
organization operated by volunteers on a 24-hour basis,with no charge for services.In 1963,it also voted to change the
name of the squad to Virginia Beach Rescue Squad,Inc.(VBVRS);and
WHEREAS: In 1972,the squad was in need of daytime volunteers,and for the first time,seven women were
recruited.That same year,the Emergency Coronary Care Program was established in Virginia Beach,and the very day
of graduating from the program,VBVRS members had a successful conversion of a patient in cardiac arrest,the first
ever performed by a volunteer squad;and
WHEREAS: Population was growing,the oceanfront was busier than ever,and demand for services became hard to
keep up with.To avoid the same fate that happened to the all-volunteer fire service,the squad launched the first-ever
volunteer recruitment campaign in March of 1988,which was a huge success;and
WHEREAS: To accommodate long-range growth,the squad needed a new station,and the City provided land on 17th
Street and an interest-free construction loan.Ground was broken on January 11, 1995,and the nine squad vehicles and
nearly 100 male and female volunteers had a home—in a state-of-the-art facility that became Station 14;and
WHEREAS: In 2006,a dedicated,skillful VBVRS team competed in the International Rescue and Emergency Care
Association's competition against teams from all over the world.VBVRS was the only team that was all-volunteer.And
VBVRS was the only team who came out on top.The following year,the Virginia Beach Rescue Squad Foundation,born
out of VBVRS,expanded its mission to include support for the entire rescue system;and
WHEREAS: Towards the end of the decade,with a strong need for EMS services in the Great Neck area,Station 8 was
built with funds from the Foundation and the community.VBVRS was committed to manning both stations 24/7 to serve
neighbors in need;and
WHEREAS: Today,Virginia Beach's population has grown to nearly a half million,with millions more visiting each
year.And still,the Virginia Beach Volunteer Rescue Squad continues to serve the City's needs 24/7.With almost 200
operational and support members,VBVRS answered more than 15,000 calls for service in 2021,never faltering even
through two years of a risky pandemic.The Virginia Beach Volunteer Rescue Squad continues to stand ready,night and
day,fair weather and foul,to answer the next cry for help.
NOW,THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: That the Virginia Beach City Council pause in its deliberations to
recognize the Virginia Beach Volunteer Rescue Squad on its 70th Anniversary and celebrates the long relationship the
City has had with VBVRS.
Adopted by the Council of the City of Virginia Beach,Virginia the 3`d day of May 2022 and present this Resolution duly
signed by each Member of the Virginia Beach City Council with a copy spread upon the Minutes of this meeting.

30 acceptable technical proposal at the lowest fixed price, or 2) a best value determination
31 by weighted scoring of the technical proposal and the financial proposal. Cost shall be a
32 critical component of the selection process.
33
34 d. Evaluation Committee: The City shall establish an Evaluation Committee
35 ("Committee") to be responsible for evaluating the qualifications of potential offerors of
36 design-build and reviewing proposals submitted for such services. This Committee shall

38 members of the Committee shall have expertise relevant to the project, with
39 backgrounds in such areas as project design, construction, finance, contract review, and
40 project management. The Committee shall be chaired by a licensed engineer or
41 architect. The membership of the Committee shall be determined by the City Engineer
42 or his designee.
43
44 e. Selection of Qualified Offerors (Step I) — Request for Qualifications (RFQ)
45
1
46 i.The City shall publish notice of its RFQ at least thirty (30) days prior to the date set

49 of general circulation in the City so as to provide reasonable notice to the maximum
50 number of offerors that can be reasonably anticipated to submit qualifications in
51 response to the particular request. Additionally, qualifications may be solicited
52 directly from vendors. If practicable, the notice also shall be published in
53 appropriate national trade publications.
54
55 ii.The RFQ shall provide a description of the project, the services required by the City,
56 any unique capabilities to be required of the offeror, and the criteria to be used in
57 evaluating the potential offeror's qualifications. The RFQ shall request of potential
58 offerors only such information as is appropriate for an objective evaluation of all
59 offerors pursuant to such criteria. The RFQ shall establish procedures whereby
60 comments concerning provisions in the RFQ can be received and considered prior
61 to the time set for receipt of qualifications. All offerors shall have a licensed Class
62 "A" contractor and an Architect or Engineer registered in the Commonwealth of
63 Virginia as part of the offeror's team.
64
65 iii.The Committee shall evaluate each responding offeror's qualifications submittal and
66 any other relevant information and shall determine which offerors are fully qualified
67 and suitable for the project.
68
69 iv.The RFQ evaluation shall result in a short list of three to five offerors to receive the
70 RFP. If available, the short list shall include a minimum of one DSBSD-Certified
71 Small Business that meets the minimum requirements for prequalification. An
72 offeror may be denied prequalification only as specified in Virginia Code§2.2-4317,
73 but the short list shall also be based upon the RFQ criteria.
74
75 v.The RFQ evaluation process shall evaluate an offeror's experience for a period of
76 ten prior years to determine whether the offeror has constructed, by any method of
77 project delivery, at least three projects similar in program and size.
78
79 vi. At least thirty (30) days prior to the date established for the submission of
80 proposals, the City shall advise each offeror in writing as to whether that offeror has
81 been prequalified. In the event that an offeror is denied prequalification, the written
82 notice shall state the reasons for the denial of prequalification and the factual basis
83 for such reasons. Prequalified offerors that are not selected for the short list likewise
84 shall be provided the reasons for such decision.
85
86 f. Selection of the Design-Build Contractor (Step II):
87
88 i.The City shall prepare a Request for Proposal ("RFP") that includes: 1) the
89 instructions for submitting the proposal, the criteria for evaluation, and the terms and
90 conditions of the design-build contract; 2) a narrative description of the project
91 requirements; 3) general conditions and technical specifications; and 4) facility and
2
92 site plans as appropriate for the project. The RFP also may define such other
93 requirements as the City determines appropriate for a particular project. The RFP
94 shall include procedures whereby comments concerning specifications or other
95 provisions contained in the RFP can be received and considered prior to the time
96 set for receipt of proposals.
97
98 ii.The City shall send a RFP to the qualified design-build offerors on the short list for
99 the project and request formal proposals from them. Offerors will have at least thirty
100 (30) days to submit a proposal. Separately sealed technical and financial proposals
101 shall be submitted to the Purchasing Agent. The Purchasing Agent will provide the
102 technical proposals to the Committee and retain the financial proposals until the
103 technical review is complete.
104
105 iii.Upon receipt, the proposals shall be reviewed by the SWaM office to ensure
106 compliance with the applicable SWaM requirements. If the City is undertaking
107 Progressive Design-Build, this review occurs at the proposal submission but is
108 subject to review and update prior to the agreement upon a guaranteed maximum
109 price.
110
111 iv.The Committee shall evaluate each of the technical proposals based on criteria
112 established in the RFP. As a part of the evaluation process, the Committee may
113 grant each of the offerors an equal opportunity for direct and private communication
114 with the committee. Each offeror shall be allotted the same fixed amount of time. In
115 its conversations with offerors, the Committee shall exercise care to discuss the
116 same owner information with all offerors. In addition, the Committee shall not
117 disclose any trade secret or proprietary information for which the offeror has invoked
118 protection in accordance with the procedure set forth in Virginia Code § 2.2-4342.
119
120 v.The Committee will inform each offeror of any adjustments necessary to make its
121 technical proposal fully compliant with the requirements of the RFP. In addition, the
122 City may require that offerors make design adjustments necessary to incorporate
123 project improvements and/or additional detail information identified by the
124 Committee.
125
126 vi.Based on the adjustments made to the technical proposals, the offeror may amend
127 its financial proposal. In addition, an offeror may submit cost modifications to its
128 original sealed financial proposal which are not based upon revisions to the
129 technical proposal.
130
131 vii.The Committee shall evaluate and rank the technical proposals if technical rankings
132 are to be considered as a criterion for award. Should the City determine in writing
133 and in its sole discretion that only one offeror is fully qualified, or that one offeror is
134 clearly more highly qualified than the others under consideration, a contract may be
135 negotiated and awarded to that offeror after approval of the Purchasing Agent.
136 Otherwise, the Purchasing Agent shall open the financial proposals and apply the
137 criteria for award as specified in the RFP.
3
138
139 viii.The Committee shall make its recommendation for the selection of a design builder
140 to the Purchasing Agent based on its evaluations of the technical and financial
141 proposals. The contract shall be awarded to the offeror who is fully qualified and
142 has been determined to have provided the best value in response to the RFP.
143
144 ix.The Committee will notify all offerors who submitted proposals which offeror was
145 selected for the project. The Notice of Intent to Award may be used to make this
146 notification. When the terms and conditions of multiple awards are so provided in
147 the RFP, awards may be made to more than one offeror.
148
149 x.Upon request and in accordance with Virginia Code § 2.2-4342, documentation of
150 the process used for the final selection shall be made available to the unsuccessful
151 proposers.
152
153 g. Alternative Procedure for Progressive Design-Build
154
155 i.Upon a written determination by the Purchasing Agent that certain compensable
156 design work is necessary to deliver a final guaranteed maximum price, the City
157 may include in the RFP the ability to undertake Progressive Design-Build.
158 ii.The review of proposals for Progressive Design-Build shall be the same as
159 described above. However, after the City's determination to award, the execution
160 of a contract may include compensable design work.
161 iii.The design collaboration shall include representatives of the City and the Design-
162 Builder advancing the design of the project beyond the design included in the
163 RFP. The goal of such design collaboration is to reduce contingencies and bridge
164 any design discrepancies. At the end of the design collaboration, the Design-
165 Builder shall present the City with a guaranteed maximum price. At the
166 submission of the guaranteed maximum price, the Design-Builder may update the
167 applicable SWaM plan(s) to reflect the advanced design. The City shall have the
168 sole option to agree to the guaranteed maximum price or abandon the design-
169 build contract. If the City elects to abandon the design-build contract, the Design-
170 Builder shall be fully compensated for the services provided in advancing the
171 design of the project provided the acceptance of such payment shall require the
172 Design-Builder transferring to the City the right to use technical solutions, design
173 concepts, and any other work product developed during the design collaboration.
174
175 h. Proposal Compensation (Stipend): For designated Design-Build procurement
176 efforts, short-listed firms that are not selected but have fully complied with all aspects
177 of the RFQ and RFP may be provided proposal compensation (stipend) under certain
178 circumstances. The value of the proposal compensation will be determined on a
179 case-by-case basis and shall be conditioned upon the offeror conveying to the City
180 the right to use technical solutions or design concepts in the proposal. City Council
181 approval, either by direct action or in the relevant project page of the Capital
182 Improvement Program, shall be required for the provision of Proposal Compensation.
183
4
184 2. Construction Management (CM) procurement method shall be a two-step competitive
185 negotiation process. The following procedures shall govern the selection, evaluation and
186 award of CM contracts:
187
188 a. Criteria for use of Construction Management: CM contracts may be approved for
189 use on projects where: 1) fast tracking of construction is needed to meet City program
190 requirements, or 2) value engineering and/or constructability analyses concurrent with
191 design are required.
192
193 b. Approval for use: Prior to taking any action to pursue a CM project, the requesting
194 department or agencies shall request the approval of the Purchasing Agent to use a CM
195 contract.
196
197 c. Basis of award: The basis of the award of the contract shall be in accordance with
198 competitive negotiation for nonprofessional services, and the criteria for the award shall
199 be submitted to the Purchasing Agent, in advance, for approval. Cost is a critical
200 component of the selection process.
201
202 d. Evaluation Committee: The City shall establish an Evaluation Committee
203 ("Committee") to be responsible for evaluating the qualifications of potential offerors of
204 CM and reviewing proposals submitted for such services. This Committee shall
205 consistent of a minimum of four (4) and a maximum of six (6) voting members. The
206 members of the Committee shall have expertise relevant to the project, with
207 backgrounds in such areas as project design, construction, finance, contract review, and
208 project management. The Committee shall be chaired by a licensed engineer or
209 architect. The membership of the Committee shall be determined by the City Engineer
210 or his designee.
211
212 e. Selection of Qualified Offerors (Step I)— Request for Qualifications (RFQ): The City
213 shall conduct a prequalification process as follows to determine which offerors are
214 qualified to receive the Request for Proposal (RFP).
215
216 i. The City shall prepare a RFQ containing the City's facility requirements, building
217 and site criteria, site and survey data (if available), the criteria to be used to evaluate
218 RFQ responses, and other relevant information, including any unique capabilities or
219 qualifications that will be required of the contractor. All offerors shall have a
220 licensed Class "A" contractor registered in the Commonwealth of Virginia as part of
221 the Project team.
222
223 ii.The RFQ shall be posted in accordance with the current standards for the posting
224 of public invitations to bids in the Virginia Code and the relevant sections of the City
225 Code.
226
227 iii. The Committee shall evaluate each responding firm's RFQ response and any
228 other relevant information and shall determine those deemed qualified with respect
229 to the criteria established for the project.
5
230
231 iv. The RFQ evaluation process shall result in a short list of two to five offerors to
232 receive the RFP. An offeror may be denied prequalification only as specified under
233 the Code of Virginia § 2.2-4317, but the short list also shall be based upon the RFQ
234 criteria.
235
236 v. At least thirty (30) days prior to the date established for the submission of
237 proposals, the City shall advise each offeror in writing as to whether that offeror has
238 been prequalified. If an offeror is denied prequalification, the written notice shall
239 state the reasons for the denial of prequalification and the factual basis for such
240 reasons. Prequalified offerors that are not selected for the short list shall likewise be
241 provided the reasons for such decision.
242
243 f. Selection of a Construction Manager (Step II) — Request for Proposals (RFP):
244
245 i. The City shall send a RFP to the qualified offerors on the short list and request
246 submission of formal proposals from them. The criteria for award shall be included
247 in the RFP.
248
249 ii. Proposals as described in the RFP shall be submitted to the Purchasing Agent.
250
251 iii. The Committee will evaluate and rank the proposals. After evaluation and
252 ranking of the proposals, the Committee shall conduct negotiations with two or more
253 offerors submitting the highest ranked proposals, unless the City determines that
254 only one offeror is full qualified or that one offeror is clearly more highly qualified
255 than the others under consideration, in which case a contract may be negotiated
256 and awarded to that offeror.
257
258 iv. The Committee shall make its recommendation on the selection of a construction
259 manager to the Purchasing Agent based on its evaluation and negotiations. The
260 contract shall be awarded to the offeror that is fully qualified and has been
261 determined to have provided the best value in response to the RFP.
262
263 v. The Committee will notify all offerors that submitted proposals which offeror was
264 selected for the project. The Notice of Intent to Award may be used to make this
265 notification. When the terms and conditions of multiple awards are so provided in
266 the RFP, awards may be made to more than one offeror.
267
268 vi. Upon request, documentation of the process used for the final selection shall be
269 made available to the unsuccessful proposers.
270
271 g. Required CM Contract Terms: Any Guaranteed Maximum Price construction
272 management contract entered into by the City will contain provisions requiring that (1)
273 not more than 10% of the construction work (measured by cost of the work) will be
274 performed by the CM with its own forces and (2) that the remaining 90% (or more) of the
275 construction work will be performed by subcontractors of the CM which the CM must
6
276 procure by publicly advertised, competitive sealed bidding to the maximum extent
277 practicable. Additionally, the subcontracting shall comply with the City's SWAM-certified
278 small business enhancement program. Documentation shall be placed in the file
279 detailing the reasons any work is not procured by publicly advertised competitive sealed
280 bidding. The Purchasing Agent may modify these contractual requirements in whole or
281 in part for projects after making a written determination that it would be fiscally
282 advantageous to the public to increase the amount of construction work performed by
283 the Construction Manager.
284
285 h. Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP): The GMP shall be established at the
286 completion of the working drawings unless a waiver has been granted by the Purchasing
287 Agent.
288
289 i. One-Step Solicitation: The Purchasing Agent may approve a one-step solicitation
290 for a project if adequate written justification is provided.
291
