Small Business Assistance Grant Program Agreement with BIT Holdings
Sixty-Three, Inc. and ASHG Capital, Inc. dba World of Beer Dublin
Prepared by: Suzanne Iarla, Management Analyst II
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider approval of a Small Business Assistance Grant Program
Agreement for accessibility improvements with BIT Holdings S ixty-Three, Inc. and
ASHG Capital, Inc. dba World of Beer Dublin.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Approving a Small Business Assistance Grant Program
Agreement with BIT Holdings Sixty-Three, Inc. and ASHG Capital, Inc. dba World of
Beer Dublin related to certain accessibility improvements to be performed on the
property located at 4920 Dublin Boulevard, Suite 260 in Dublin, California.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The proposed Agreement provides a $21,000 grant to the applicant. Funding for this
grant has been budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2018 -2019 Economic Development Division
budget as part of the Small Business Assistan ce Grant Program. The Agreement
amount is not to exceed $21,000.
DESCRIPTION:
In 2013, the City created the Small Business Assistance Program (“Program”) to assist
Dublin-based businesses. The Program has two components, the Grant Program for
Small Business Regulatory Compliance and the Small Business Support Program. The
Grant Program provides for reimbursement of up to $75,000 for improvements such as:
Federal, State and local laws relating to disability access requirements ; trash
enclosures; title 24 upgrades; sewer connections, and other such obligations imposed
on small businesses. Whereas, the Support Program can be utilized by Dublin-based
businesses for one-on-one business advising as well as for special events designed to
support and assist small businesses.

The Program is funded through a $100,000 economic benefit payment made annually
by Amador Valley Industries (AVI) in exchange for AVI’s agreement to provide
construction and demolition collection services to Dublin. In Fiscal Year 2018-2019, the
City Council appropriated $75,000 to go towards the Grant Program and $25,000 to go
towards the Support Program.
Previously, the Program had been financially administered by a partner agency (most
recently, from July 2015 through November 2017, the City had a Memorandum of
Understanding with Humboldt State University Sponsored Programs Foundation ).
However, last year, the City decided to move the funding from the partner agency over
to the City and begin administering the Program in its entirety internally.
In May 2018, the City received a Program application from Mr. Nav Bhasin, World of
Beer franchisee, to participate in the regulatory compliance grant for the new restaurant
moving into the former Johnny Garlic’s space at Hacienda Crossing (4920 Dublin
Boulevard, Suite 260). The applicant has signed a 10-year lease on the site and this will
be the first World of Beer restaurant in California. Tenant improvements are currently
underway for the new restaurant. It is expected that World of Beer Dublin will employ 80
to 100 people.
The applicant requested a $75,000 grant to help offset improvements that have
exceeded their preliminary budget estimates for the tenant improvements. Specifically,
the applicant requested assistance towards accessibility compliance and energy
efficiency compliance.
On July 7, 2018, the City Council’s Economic Development Committee considered the
application and by consensus, the Committee recommended a grant not to exceed
$21,000 (equal to 28% of the applicant’s requested amount) to help offset
improvements related to Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) compliance that
exceeded their preliminary budget estimates for the project. Specifically, the proposed
agreement stipulates the grant is to reimburse expenses related to accessibility
requirements related to the:
• main entrance / rear entry doors
• restrooms
• permanently-affixed doors to the walk-in cooler / freezer
This recommendation falls under the Committee' s purview to provide policy guidance
and direction on economic development activities. The Committee is requesting that the
full City Council consider the recommendation to approve a grant not to exceed $21,000
for accessibility improvements.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
None.

additional insured. Furthermore, the requirements for coverage and limits shall be (1) the minimum coverage and

policy shall include an endorsement providing that it shall not be cancelled, changed, or allowed to lapse without at
least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to City of such cancellation, change, or lapse. All insurance required by this
section is to be placed with insurers with a Bests' rating of no less than A:VII.

the work contemplated by this Agreement. If a Commercial General Liability Insurance or
an Automobile Liability form or other form with a general aggregate limit is used, either the
general aggregate limit shall apply separately to the work to be performed under this
Agreement or the general aggregate limit shall be at least twice the required occurrence
limit. Such coverage shall include but shall not be limited to, protection against claims

to property resulting from activities contemplated under this Agreement, including the use
of owned and non-owned automobiles.
2.7.1.2 Minimum scope of coverage. Commercial general coverage shall be at least as broad
as Insurance Services Office Commercial General Liability occurrence form CG 0001.

activities performed by or on behalf of Contractor, including the insured’s general
supervision of Contractor; products and completed operations of Contractor;
premises owned, occupied, or used by Contractor; and automobiles owned,
leased, or used by the Contractor. The coverage shall contain no special
limitations on the scope of protection afforded to City or its officers, employees,
agents, or volunteers.
Small Business Assistance Grant Program Agreement (World of Beer Dublin) Page 4 of 9
b. The insurance shall cover on an occurrence or an accident basis, and not on a
claims-made basis.

the City and its officers, officials, employees and volunteers, and that no
insurance or self-insurance maintained by the City shall be called upon to
contribute to a loss under the coverage.

not affect coverage provided to City and its officers, employees, agents, and
volunteers.
e. An endorsement shall state that coverage shall not be canceled except after
thirty (30) days' prior written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, has
been given to the City. Contractor shall notify City within 14 days of notification
from Contractor’s insurer if such coverage is suspended, voided or reduced in
coverage or in limits.

for the construction project, such as the CG 20 37 “Additional Insured—Owners,
Lessees or Contractors—Completed Operations” endorsement form, shall be
submitted to the City no later than 30 days after completion of the Project.
2.7.1.4 Verification of coverage. Prior to beginning any work under this Agreement, Applicant
shall furnish City with certificates of insurance and with original endorsements effecting
coverage required herein. The certificates and endorsements for each insurance policy
are to be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf.
The City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance
policies and endorsements. Failure to exercise this right shall not constitute a waiver of
right to exercise later.
2.7.1.5 Contractors and Subcontractors. Applicant agrees to include with all contractors or
subcontracts the same requirements and provisions of this Agreement including the
Indemnification and Insurance requirements to the extent they apply to the scope of the

bound to the City under the Contract Documents.

upon a determination that the coverages, scope, limits, and forms of such insurance are
either not commercially available, or that the City’s interests are otherwise fully protected.
2.7.1.7 Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions. All self-insured retentions (SIR) and/or
deductibles must be disclosed to the City for approval and shall not reduce the limits of
liability. Policies containing any self-insured retention provision and/or deductibles shall

section is reduced, limited, or materially affected in any other manner, Applicant shall

later than five days after Applicant is notified of the change in coverage.
2.7.2 Term of Coverage. Applicant, at its own cost and expense, shall maintain all insurance policies
required by this Agreement for the duration of the Agreement’s Term. Applicant shall require that all contractors and
subcontractors, at their own cost and expense, maintain the insurance policies required by this Agreement until the
