Dear Mrs. Barnes:
Pursuant to the Virginia Conflict of Interests Act, Sections 2.2-3115(H), Code of
Virginia, I make the following declarations:
1. I am executing this written disclosure regarding the City Council's discussion of
the Town Center SSD. The Council received a briefing on shortfalls in the SSD,
and a potential budget ordinance to address the SSD shortfall was discussed.
2. I have a personal interest in Town Center Office Suites, LLC, which has a
principal office address of One Columbus Center, Suite 600, Virginia Beach,
Virginia 23462, and Joashua F. Schulman, P.C., which has a principal office
address of One Columbus Center, Suite 637, Virginia Beach, Virginia 23462.
Both businesses are within the SSD.
3. I am a member of a group—tenants within Town Center—and the members of the
group are affected by the shortfall.
4. I hereby disclose the facts above and declare that I am able to participate in this
transaction fairly, objectively, and in the public interest.
5. If a budget ordinance is brought forth to address the shortfall, I will supplement
this initial disclosure with a disclosure that is specific to that ordinance.

Large Cost Drivers
• Signals & Lighting: $6.7M
• Contractor could only obtain one sub-quote (from Richmond)
• Pavement & Patching Items: $2.OM
• Concrete Pipe: $1.5M
• Ductile Iron Water Main : $1.OM
• Ductile Iron Sewer Force Main : $600K
• Contaminated groundwater/soil : $800K

Contractor Challenges
• Constructing the project on an active roadway with limited ROW
• Maintaining four lanes of traffic, pedestrian access, and drainage
• Daytime and Seasonal work hour constraints
• Night Work: two full crews, daily lane shifts/traffic control, concrete &
asphalt difficult to obtain
• Detour -18 miles
• High water table complicates excavations, requires dewatering
• Utilities crossing multiple live traffic lanes
9 VB
Market Challenges
• Recent bid tabulations are not directly comparable due to night work
• Saturated Local Construction market:
• HRBT expansion, CBBT expansion, CV Off-Shore Wind, State and Local
projects competing for resources
• Received only two bids
• Inflation, interest rates, and labor shortages (American Rescue Plan
2021, Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act 2021, CHIPS and Science Act
2022, Inflation Reduction Act 2022)
• Cost of Highway Materials National Inflation (2021 Q1 — 2024 Q1) 91%*

Potential Savings
Discussion with Low Bidder
• $2M if daytime lane closures are permitted for 8+ hours
(no reduction in contract time offered)
• $1.2M if Ductile Iron Sewer Force Main changed to directionally drilled
High-density polyethylene ( HDPE) pipe
• Would require design revisions: -$50K, up to 8 weeks
• $1.7M in reduced unit prices for select Signals & Lighting items
• $300K if City provides a laydown area for materials, trailers, equipment
Alternatives for City Council to Consider
1. Do nothing, cancel the project, reallocate funds to other projects
+ Positive impact to other CIP projects
- Project strongly supported by Advisory Groups for 20+ yr
- Impacts Eastern Shore Drive Drainage Improvements projects
2. Defer project until market conditions improve and/or
additional funding is appropriated
+ No impact on CIPs
- Delay will not meet expectations of residents and stakeholders
- Costs likely to increase with time
12 VS
Alternatives for City Council to Consider
3 . Modify Scope and Rebid the project
+ Can provide longer bid window to attract contractors
+ Potential to include cost-saving design revisions
- Delays project, bids could increase, could receive no bids
4. Fund Deficit from PW Roadway and PU CIP projects or another
Council Funding Source
+ Allows project to advance
- Impacts donor project delivery schedule
- Requires Ordinance — Feb 4th

Council Member Schulman advised there will be a two (2) week road closure for through traffic at the

(Continued)
Council Member Schulman advised in response to the community concerns raised during the City Council
Meeting last week regarding the Pleasure House Point Project, he wanted to form a working group made
up of members from the community with an environmental background to help mitigate tree loss and
neighborhood impacts. Council Member Schulman explained he was unable to include some of the people
he wanted because they are appointed members to the same Appointive Agencies he is and by having more
than two (2) members included in the working group, it triggers the Open Meetings Act requirements.
Council Member Schulman advised he has not held any meetings so far, expressing his frustration that
since he is an appointed member, he is limited in who he can hold meetings with without violating the
requirements. Council Member Schulman proposed that Council Members should not be appointed as
members to Appointive Agencies and should instead serve as Council Liaisons and aske the Body if there
was a consensus?
Vice Mayor Wilson advised this will be a topic discussed at the upcoming City Council Retreat.

Council Member Henley referenced a staff report the Body recently received regarding their request for
the Body's consideration to include the Urban Forest Management Plan 2023 in the Comprehensive Plan.
Council Member Henley emphasized the importance of the Urban Forest Management Plan and advised
as the Planning Commission has already reviewed it, there should not be any conflicts and therefore she
supports its inclusion. Council Member Henley explained the City has received funding to plant trees and
the plan provides data that can be used to identify where the trees should be planted to mitigate flooding
and increase the urban tree canopy.
Mayor Dyer requested to have an ordinance prepared to formally include the Urban Forest Management
Plan 2023 in the Comprehensive Plan and added to an upcoming agenda for consideration.

CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION
SOMETHING IN THE WATER UPDATE
ITEM#76553
5:14 P.M.
Mayor Dyer welcomed back Amanda Jarratt, Deputy City Manager, and requested she provide an update.
Ms. Jarratt advised City Staff and the Something in the Water Festival (SITW) team have been in
communication over the past week regarding the April Festival with a focus on planning and logistics. Ms.
Jarratt explained members of the SITW team have been severely impacted by the devastating fires in Los
Angeles causing the discussions to be rescheduled to next week. Ms. Jarratt advised she plans to provide
City Council a robust update on January 21'.
Council Member Berlucchi asked if there is a sense of when ticket sales and line-up will be released?
Ms. Jarratt advised that will be discussed this week with the SITW team and provided to City Council next
week.
Council Member Berlucchi asked what is the date the City needs in order to have enough time to put all of
the Public Safety procedures in place?
City Manager Duhaney advised the City has worked with many of the SITW team members and if there are
no significant changes, he believes the plans used previously can be used again. City Manager Duhaney
advised he will inform City Council if the process reaches the point that the Festival cannot be held due to
a lack of time to have all of the safety plans in place.
Council Member Henley expressed her main concern is Public Safety, as having such a high profile person
can make the Festival a bigger target and believes the safety measures used this time need to surpass the
previous ones.
City Manager Duhaney advised the Public Safety Plan is a collaborative plan that includes all levels of
local government in the Region including State and Federal Public Safety partners.
Council Member Ross-Hammond advised she and Council Member Rouse serve as the SITW Council
Liaisons and emphasized her commitment to transparency. Council Member Ross-Hammond
acknowledged many people who reached out to her for information but right now Ms. Jarratt and City
Manager Duhaney are tasked with providing updates,for which she expressed her appreciation.
Mayor Dyer advised he has also been contacted and asked what his motivation is to extend grace for the
SITW Festival and explained the City has given similar grace to others such as Amazon, Zim Shipping and
Sentara and is in effort to get to "yes"and create revenue streams for the City. Mayor Dyer advised it also
benefits the Resort, Hotel, Restaurant and Atlantic Avenue Associations economy as well as the positive
