ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT

MEETING DATE: February 25, 2026 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Agreements TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Randy McKeegan, Finance Director
DATE: February 25, 2026
SUBJECT: Amendment No. 5 to Agreement No. 2023-238 with J.L. Plank, Inc., dba Cen-Cal Construction (increase compensation by $1,300,000; revised not to exceed $7,871,500) to continue the supply of concrete construction.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of the amendment.

BACKGROUND:

On September 27, 2023, the City Council approved the annual contract for the supply of concrete construction with J. L. Plank, Inc., dba Cen -Cal Construction, in the amount of $1,511,500; renewable annually thereafter for four consecutive one-year periods.

This contract is on call as needed, and is used by multiple departments within the City, including Water Resources Department, Fire Department, Recreation and Parks Department, and Public Works Department.

The demand for concrete construction, coupled with ADA compliance requirements, has led to a significant increase in contract usage levels. A compensation increase, as requested by staff, will enable the City to complete current concrete projects and allow the City to continue to meet the demand for concrete construction.

Per the terms of the contract, four (4) amendments to increase the contract and/or to extend the contract have been approved as follows:

 Amendment 1 approved September 11, 2024; increased compensation by $1,560,000 for a revised not to exceed amount of $3,071,500 and extended the term by one year to September 26, 2025.
 Amendment 2 approved April 9, 2025; increased compensation by $500,000 for a revised not to exceed amount of $3,571,500.
 Amendment 3 approved June 11, 2025; increased compensation by $500,000 for a revised not to exceed amount of $4,071,500.
 Amendment 4 approved August 13, 2025; increased compensation by $2,500,000 for a revised not to exceed amount of $6,571,500 and extended the term by one year to September 26, 2026.

If approved, Amendment No. 4 will increase the contract compensation by $1,300,000, bringing the total not-to-exceed amount to $7,871,500 allowing the City to continue addressing concrete construction needs through the contract’s term ending September 26, 2026.
