In accordance with Section 37202 of the Government Code of the State of California this is presented here with a summary of demands against the City of Ceres covering obligations to be paid for the period ending July 2, 2025, through July 9, 2025.
Each demand has been audited and I hereby certify to their accuracy and conformance with the budget. Sufficient funds are available for payment of these demands.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the register of audited demands has been examined by me and to the best of my knowledge and belief is a true, correct and complete listing of claims audited and payable.
II. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
The Finance Department monitors payments of invoices for accountability, accuracy, and completeness. Budgeted payrolls and demands paid by warrants or checks may be presented to the legislative body for ratification and approval. This allows for invoices to be paid in a timely manner to establish goodwill with merchants and allows for discounts to be taken where applicable.

I. BACKGROUND:
Title 15 of the Ceres Municipal Code establishes the City's requirements for buildings and construction within the City of Ceres. Periodic updates are necessary to ensure the municipal code remains consistent with current standards, practices, and state requirements.
The proposed ordinance amendments serve to clarify and strengthen the City’s authority in requiring the installation or repair of public improvements as a condition of occupancy for new construction and significant alterations. These amendments introduce c lear definitions for "Public Improvements" and "New Construction" and ensure consistency in the application of building permit and occupancy requirements.

Notice of this proposed ordinance amendment was published in accordance with applicable law, providing adequate public notice and opportunity for comment.
II. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION

• Clarify Applicability: Establishing clear definitions for "Public Improvements" and "New Construction" ensures consistent application of municipal code requirements to applicable projects, reducing ambiguity for applicants and staff. • Support Infrastructure Maintenance and Growth Management: Requiring the installation and repair of public improvements as part of new development and significant alterations ensures that public infrastructure is adequately maintained and expanded in conjunction with private development.
For these reasons, staff recommends Council approval of the ordinance amendments.
III. FISCAL IMPACTS:
This ordinance does not have a direct fiscal impact on City funds.

I. BACKGROUND:
The work to be performed includes, but is not limited to, replacing aging water pipelines, water meters, valves, and hydrants within two neighborhoods, with one neighborhood consisting of three (3) alternates.
The project locations for the base bid and respective alternates are as follows:

ITEM 11
After receiving D.A. Wood Construction, Inc. bid, the City is requesting to construct the Base Bid and Bid Alternate “2C”. Bid Alternate “2C” was selected over Alternates “2A” and “2B” due to “2C” having an older more problematic system.
II. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
The City solicited the bid package for construction on June 11, 2025, with the bid due on July 10, 2025. The City received six total bids on the due date.

This project is included in the City’s 5-Year Capital Improvement Program . Funding is available in the following project accounts:
• 52795.800500 (2524) – $867,823.94

This project is in conformance with the first goal of the Strategic Plan:
Infrastructure: Ensure that the community has adequate, well-maintained infrastructure that fosters a quality community and supports a strong economy.
V. POLICY ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council may consider the following alternatives:
1. Reject all bids and direct staff to re-advertise the project.
2. Reject all bids and direct staff to revise the project scope prior to re-bidding.
Either alternative would delay project delivery and potentially increase costs.
VI. INTERDEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:
The Engineering and Public Works Department have coordinated on this project.
ITEM 11
VII. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION:
The City and Contractor will provide advance public notification through door-to-door notices and posted signage alerting residents and motorists of upcoming construction activities in the project areas.

Contractor promises and agrees that it will not pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise encumber the items in any manner that would result in any lien, security interest, charge, or claim upon or against said items.

Since the Services are being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and since the total compensation is $1,000 or more, Contractor agrees to fully comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws. City shall provide Contractor with a copy of the prevailing rates of per diem wages in effect at the commencement of this Contract. Contractor shall make copies of the prevailing rates of per diem

The payroll records shall be certified and shall be available for inspection at all reasonable hours at the principal office of Contractor in the manner provided in Labor Code section 1776. In the event of noncompliance with the requirements of this section, Contractor shall have 10 days in which to comply subsequent to receipt of written notice specifying in what respects such Contractor must comply with this section. Should noncompliance still be evident after such 10-day period, Contractor shall, as a penalty to City, forfeit not more than $100.00 for each calendar day or portion thereof, for each worker, until strict compliance is effectuated. The amount of the forfeiture is to be determined by the Labor Commissioner. A contractor who is found to have violated the provisions of law regarding wages on Public Works with the intent to defraud shall be ineligible to bid on Public Works contracts for a period of one to three years as determined by the Labor Commissioner. Upon the request of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards or the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, such penalties shall be withheld from progress payments then due.

KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS:
TH
AT WHEREAS, the City of Ceres (hereinafter referred to as “City”) has awarded to Consolidated Engineering Inc., (hereinafter referred to as the “Contractor”) an agreement for 2024 Pavement Preservation (Rebid) (hereinafter referred to as the “Project”).
WHEREAS, the work to be performed by the Contractor is more particularly set forth in the Contract Documents for the Project dated ____/____/______, (hereinafter referred to as “Contract Documents”), the terms and conditions of which are expressly incorporated herein by reference; and
WHEREAS, the Contractor is required by said Contract Documents to perform the terms thereof and to furnish a bond for the faithful performance of said Contract Documents.
NOW, THEREFORE, we, Consolidated Engineering Inc., the undersigned Contractor and _____________________________________________ as Surety, a corporation organized and duly authorized to transact business under the laws of the State of California, are held and firmly bound unto the City in the sum of ONE MILLION, SIX HUNDRED FOURTY-SIX THOUSAND, FIVE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS and FIFTY-TWO CENTS ($1,646,525.52), said sum being not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the total amount of the Contract, for which amount well and truly to be made, we bind ourselves, our heirs, executors and administrators, successors and assigns, jointly and severally, firmly by these presents.
THE CONDITION OF THIS OBLIGATION IS SUCH, that, if the Contractor, his or its heirs, executors, administrators, successors or assigns, shall in all things stand to and abide by, and well and truly keep and perform the covenants, conditions and agreements in the Contract Documents and any alteration thereof made as therein provided, on its part, to be kept and performed at the time and in the manner therein specified, and in all respects according to their intent and meaning; and shall faithfully fulfill all obligations including the one-year guarantee of all materials and workmanship; and shall indemnify and save harmless the City, its officers and agents, as stipulated in said Contract Documents, then this obligation shall become null and void; otherwise it shall be and remain in full force and effect.
As a condition precedent to the satisfactory completion of the Contract Documents, unless otherwise provided for in the Contract Documents, the above obligation shall hold good for a period of one (1) year after the acceptance of the work by City, during which time if Contractor shall fail to make full, complete, and satisfactory repair and replacements and totally protect the City from loss or damage resulting from or caused by defective materials or faulty workmanship, Surety shall undertake and faithfully fulfill all such obligations. The obligations of Surety hereunder shall continue so long as any obligation of Contractor remains. Nothing herein shall limit the City’s rights or the Contractor or Surety’s obligations under the Contract, law or equity, including, but not limited to, California Code of Civil Procedure Section 337.15.
ATTACHMENT D
ITEM 11
- 86 -
Whenever Contractor shall be, and is declared by the City to be, in default under the Contract Documents, the Surety shall remedy the default pursuant to the Contract Documents, or shall promptly, at the City’s option:
(1) Take over and complete the Project in accordance with all terms and conditions in the Contract Documents; or
(2) Obtain a bid or bids for completing the Project in accordance with all terms and conditions in the Contract Documents and upon determination by Surety of the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, arrange for a Contract between such bidder, the Surety and the City, and make available as work progresses sufficient funds to pay the cost of completion of the Project, less the balance of the contract price, including other costs and damages for which Surety may be liable. The term “balance of the contract price” as used in this paragraph shall mean the total amount payable to Contractor by the City under the Contract and any modification thereto, less any amount previously paid by the City to the Contractor and any other set offs pursuant to the Contract Documents.
(3) Permit the City to complete the Project in any manner consistent with local, California and federal law and make available as work progresses sufficient funds to pay the cost of completion of the Project, less the balance of the contract price, including other costs and damages for which Surety may be liable. The term “balance of the contract price” as used in this paragraph shall mean the total amount payable to Contractor by the City under the Contract and any modification thereto, less any amount previously paid by the City to the Contractor and any other set offs pursuant to the Contract Documents.
Surety expressly agrees that the City may reject any contractor or subcontractor which may be proposed by Surety in fulfillment of its obligations in the event of default by the Contractor.
Surety shall not utilize Contractor in completing the Project nor shall Surety accept a bid from Contractor for completion of the Project if the City, when declaring the Contractor in default, notifies Surety of the City’s objection to Contractor’s further participation in the completion of the Project.
The Surety, for value received, hereby stipulates and agrees that no change, extension of time, alteration or addition to the terms of the Contract Documents or to the Project to be performed thereunder shall in any way affect its obligations on this bond, and it does hereby waive notice of any such change, extension of time, alteration or addition to the terms of the Contract Documents or to the Project, including but not limited to the provisions of Sections 2819 and 2845 of the California Civil Code.

SUBJECT:
Resolution No. 202 5-XXX, Approving the Purchase of an Electric Step Van from Kingsburg Truck Center , Inc. as Part of the Fleet Replacement Program and A pproving a Budget Amendment to Allocate Funds for the Purchase
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Staff recommends the City Council approve a Purchase Order with Kingsburg Truck Center Incorporated for the acquisition of an electric step van and authorize a budget amendment to allocate funds for the purchase.
I. BACKGROUND:
The Public Works Facilities Division requires a step van for event set up and materials transportation. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) adopted the Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) Regulation, requiring public agencies to begin transitioning their medium - and heavy-duty fleet vehicles to zero -emission alternatives. Until January 1, 2030, High Priority and Federal Fleets and State and Local Government Agency Fleets may opt-in to the ZEV Milestones Option and meet zero -emissions vehicle (ZEV) targets as a percentage of their California fleets, as an alternative complia nce option t o the Model Year Schedule. This option allows for phasing ZEVs into the fleet between 2025 and 2042, depending on the type of vehicle and its usage. If choosing this option, starting January 1, 2025, fleet owners must continuously meet or exceed the ZEV Fl eet Milestone percentage requirements for their California fleets. The California fleet includes vehicles operated in California by a fleet owner or controlling party during a calendar year and includes vehicles under common ownership or control. The ZEV F leet Milestone percentages must be maintained each year until the next compliance milestone; for example, from January 1, 2025, until December 31, 2027, at least 10 percent of Milestone Group one vehicles in the California fleet must be ZEVs.

II. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
Keeping in mind the ACF regulation, staff began searching for an electric step van for the Facilities Division. Kingsburg Truck Center Incorporated has a vehicle meeting the needs of the City and requirements set forth by the state and is part of the Sourcewell state contract ensuring the best prices for vehicles purchased by municipalities.
Simultaneously, staff learned of the Hybrid and Zero -Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP) which is a state program granting funding to reduce the overall vehicle cost to municipalities in the transition to ZEV’s . If awarded, the voucher would reduce the cost of the vehicle by $30,000.00. The application, which is not open for submission until a to -be-determined date in August 2025 , has strict guidelines for approval and applications are processed in the order received. One requirement is that a current purchase order be submitted alongside the application , ensuring funding is available to cover any cost over the $30,000 voucher and identifying an authorized vendor. Applications received without purchase orders are to be considered incomplete and will be waitlisted as other applications are approved. Funding is limited and if the application is waitlisted, presumptively the funds will be depleted before reverting to waitlisted applicants.
III. FISCAL IMPACTS:
Staff recommends that the Council approve a purchase order in the amount of $62,105.25 for the vehicle using grant funding. This action will ensure the vehicle can still be purchased in the event the HVIP application is denied for any reason. If the City is awarded the HV IP voucher, the cost of the vehicle will be reduced to $32,105.25, and the remaining funds encumbered under the purchase order will be liquidated.
This vehicle purchase was not originally budgeted in Fiscal Year 2025/26. However, Fund 610 (ISF Equipment Replacement Pool) has sufficient capacity to absorb the cost. In FY 2024/25, $110,451.99 was received from the sale of surplus miscellaneous property , which is more than the amount needed to fund the purchase. A budget amendment is required to appropriate $62,105.25 for the purchase of the EV Step Van.
IV. EXISTING POLICY / RELATIONSHIP TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN:
Supports the City’s Strategic Plan goals related to environmental responsibility, infrastructure modernization, and regulatory compliance.
V. POLICY ALTERNATIVES:
Do not approve the purchase or delay the action. This will result in loss of HVIP funding eligibility and possible noncompliance with CARB regulations in 2027.
