SECTION 1. REDUCTION IN WORKFORCE
A. Sixty (60) days prior to the implementation of this section, the CITY will notify GMEO of the CITY’s intent. During the 60-day period prior to the required 30-day notice, the CITY and GMEO will meet to discuss voluntary separation incentive programs and other alternatives to layoffs.
B. DESIGNATING POSITIONS FOR LAYOFF - The City shall designate the positions for layoff by classification and Department.
C. ORDER OF LAYOFF – When a position is to be designated for layoff, the order of layoff shall be as follows:
1. Permanent employees shall be laid off in inverse order of seniority in each classification. For the purposes of layoff, seniority is defined as the length of total service in all classifications as a permanent City employee, including probationary and non-probationary status, but not including time served as a temporary employee.
In the event of a tie, the City will review the employees’ most recent annual performance evaluations. The employee with the lower overall rating on the most recent annual performance evaluation shall be laid off first. If all the ratings are equal, then priority shall be determined by a flip of a coin, performed in the presence of a representative of the City and GMEO.
D. WRITTEN NOTICE OF LAYOFF - Any employee to be laid off will be given written notice of layoff notless than 30 days prior to the effective date of such layoff. A copy of the layoff notice will be simultaneously provided to GMEO. The City will meet and confer with GMEO regarding the impacts of the proposed layoff as required by the MMBA.
SECTION 2: BUMPING RIGHTS
A. ELIGIBILITY - Only permanent, non-probationary employees shall be eligible to exercise bumping rights. A permanent, non-probationary employee who is subject to layoff shall be eligible to exercise bumping rights, unless the City Manager and Department Head refuse to permit bumping because:
1. The employee is on a Performance Improvement Plan at the time of layoff; or
2. The employee has received discipline of suspension or higher within the last two years.
B. POSITIONS INTO WHICH EMPLOYEE MAY BUMP
1. Permanent employees who are displaced from their positions due to reduction in work force shall be entitled to placement in any department 1) in the same or lower classification represented by GMEO in the same class series, or 2)in a lower classification represented by GMEO in which the affected employee once Docusign Envelope ID: 63AB6454-3EB0-4095-8F47-D10BB634A898 2 had permanent status.
2. The employee who exercises a bumping right can only do so if he or she has more seniority than the incumbent in the lower classification. If an employee exercises this right, this employee bumps the employee with the least seniority in that lower classification.
3. The following positions are exempt from the bumping procedure, and an employee may not exercise his or her right to bump into these positions:
a. A position that is grant-funded;
b. A Confidential position; or
c. A position held by an employee in the following at-will status: part-time, temporary, provisional, transitional, and emergency.
C. NOTICE TO EXERCISE BUMPING RIGHT - An employee who is eligible and wishes to exercise his or her bumping right must do so in writing to the Human Resources Manager within five (5) calendar days of receiving the notice of layoff.
D. Permanent employees who are displaced by other employeesunder this section are entitled, in turn, to the placement rights contained in this section.
SECTION 3. REHIRING OF LAID-OFF WORKERS
A. RECALL LIST - Any employee who is laid off or who bumps into a lower classification shall be placed on a Recall List for a period of two years.
B. ORDER OF RECALL - If the City is able to rehire into a position that was previously designated for layoff, the CITY shall rehire those employees who are the Recall List and who previously held the position into which the City is rehiring. The City shall rehire the employee with the most seniority at the time of layoff first.
C. RECALL NOTICE - The City shall send a Recall Notice to employees on the Recall List who are eligible to be rehired. The Recall Notice to an employee who has been laid off shall be sent by Registered Mail, Return Receipt Requested to the last known address of the employee and sent by email to the last known email address of the employee. It is the employee’s responsibility to keep the City updated with his or her most current contact information.
D. RESPONDING TO RECALL NOTICE - An employee must respond within 10 calendar days after receiving the Recall Notice by Registered mail or receiving the email in order to be rehired into his or her previously held position. An employee recalled from layoff shall assume the same salary step and seniority that he or she held at the time of layoff.
Failure to respond within the deadline, unless due to actual illness or accident (the City may require proof of illness or accident), will cause the employee to be removed from the Recall List.
E. If there are no employees on the Recall List that are eligible to be rehired into a vacant position, then the City will conduct an open recruitment to fill the position.

Staff Recommendation:
Approve Design and Construction Contract with Years 1-5 for Operations and Maintenance and Performance Guarantee Services in the amount of $5,565,481.53.
Authorize the Option of Extended Warranty and Option Term (Years 6-10) of Operations and Maintenance and Performance Guarantee Services in the amount of $154,173.65.
Approve Project Contingency of 20%, or $1,143,931.04.
Declare this project to be categorically exempt under CEQA, Class 1, Section 15301(b)(3) - Common Sense, Section 15303 - New Construction of Small Structures, Section 15311 - Accessory Structures, and California Public Resources Code Section 21080.35.
RECOMMENDATION AND STAFF SUMMARY:
In an effort to further its transition to zero-emissions for its revenue and non-revenue fleet, and generate overall cost savings for for the Department, GTrans plans to upgrade its facilities to accommodate a solar photovoltaic (PV) system, battery energy storage system (BESS), and Electric Vehicle (EV) charging system. As part of the plan, GTrans is in the planning/design stage for the charging of its revenue and non-revenue vehicles and employee vehicles, which includes an expansion of solar panels and new battery storage to help reduce reliance on the energy grid and offset energy costs during peak periods.
GTrans embarked on a two-step, design-build method of contracting which entails first issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQual) to short-list qualified firms, and then issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) to those firms.
GTrans issued the RFQual to obtain interested and qualified firms through PlanetBids, which was also communicated through broad outreach to newspapers and organizations. GTrans received 14 submissions, and through evaluations based on criteria outlined in the RFQual, narrowed down the proposers to a short-list of four qualified firms. Subsequently, staff issued a RFP to those four firms. GTrans received three proposals in response to the RFP and staff proceeded to evaluate these firms and their proposals further based on the weighted criteria noted below:
Proposal Completeness
Contractor’s Background, Financial Information, References and Experience Approach, including recommended technical solution and ability to meet project schedule Production Model, Pricing and Economic Evaluation
Value-Added Option
Interview at GTrans’ invite
GTrans evaluated and scored the three proposals based on a specified scoring methodology and began the negotiation process with the highest ranked firm, SitelogIQ, Inc. This process included technical, contractual, and cost clarifications with the firm. SitelogIQ’s proposal is $5,565,481.53, which includes all costs for the design and build of the PV system, BESS, EV Supply Equipment, the first five years of Operations and Maintenance (O&M) and Performance Guarantee (PeGu), and 10-year warranty of PV inverters and BESS. GTrans also requested optional pricing for Years 6 through 10 of the O&M and PeGu, and the additional 5-year warranty of the PV inverters and BESS, which amounts to a cost of $154,173.65. GTrans has determined the price to be fair and reasonable.
Using the solar production values and BESS sizing that SiteLogIQ provided as part of their bid package, this project is slated to save GTrans approximately $235,000 per year on utility bills associated with CNG fueling and Bolt fleet charging. Over the 25 year life of the system, not only is it expected to pay itself back, but generate over $4.1M in additional savings.
GTrans is also requesting authorization for a project contingency of 20 percent (or $1,143,931.04) of the total overall contract cost. This contingency would only be used for unforeseen expenditures or additions that may be required. Such expenditures would not be allowed unless agreed upon and approved in advance by GTrans management.
IN CONCLUSION, Staff respectfully recommends that Council:
Approve Design and Construction Contract with Years 1-5 for Operations and Maintenance and Performance Guarantee Services in the amount of $5,565,481.53.
Authorize the Option of Extended Warranty and Option Term (Years 6-10) of Operations and Maintenance and Performance Guarantee Services in the amount of $154,173.65.
Approve Project Contingency of 20%, or $1,143,931.04
Declare this project to be categorically exempt under CEQA, Class 1, Section 15301(b)(3) - Common Sense, Section 15303 - New Construction of Small Structures, Section 15311 - Accessory Structures, and California Public Resources Code Section 21080.35.
FISCAL IMPACT/COST:
GTrans has worked for the past several years to assemble a funding package specifically for this project. GTrans has dedicated state and local funding in the FY26 approved capital budget to complete this project. There is no impact to the General Fund.
APPROVED:

Within thirty (30) calendar days after the approval of each payment request, the City will pay to the Contractor an amount equal to ninety five (95) percent of the approved estimate. Payments may at any time be withheld if in the judgment of the City the work is not proceeding in accordance with the Agreement, the Contractor is not complying with the requirements of the Agreement, stop notices have been timely filed, the estimate contains an error, or the City has incurred costs or requests reasonable financial assurances regarding defective work by the Contractor. The City shall pay interest on all progress payments not made within thirty (30) days at the rate specified in California Public Contract Code section 20104.50.
(d) Final Payment: Within thirty (30) days after all required work is fully completed in accordance with the Agreement, the Contractor shall submit a final invoice for the total value of the work completed in accordance with the Agreement, which shall be subject to review and approval by the City. As required by law, City shall pay Contractor the unpaid balance of the Agreement price of the work, or the whole Agreement price of the work if no progress payment has been made, determined in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, less such sums as may be lawfully retained under any provision of the Agreement, including, but not limited to, amounts retained for damages, for stop notices, for third-party claims for which the Contractor is required to indemnify the City, for defective work and costs incurred by the City in connection therewith, or for other such claims and damages attributable to the Contractor (“Final Payment”).
Prior progress estimates and payments are subject to correction in the Final Payment. Tender of the Final Payment shall constitute denial by the City of any unresolved claim. Contractor’s acceptance of the Final Payment shall operate as a full and final release to the City and its agents from any and all unasserted claims Contractor has, or may have, related to this Agreement. City shall make Final Payment to SitelogIQ within sixty (60) days of receipt of Contractor’s final invoice. (e) Payments Do Not Imply Acceptance of Work: The granting of any progress payment or payments by the City or the receipt thereof by the Contractor shall not constitute acceptance of the work or of any portion thereof, and shall in no way lessen the liability of the Contractor to replace unsatisfactory work or material, whether or not the unsatisfactory character of such work or material was apparent or detected at the time such payment was made.

(f) Retention of Sums Charged Against Contractor: It is mutually understood and agreed that when under any provision of this Agreement the City shall charge any sums of money against the Contractor, the amount of such charge shall be deducted and retained by the City from the amount of the next succeeding progress estimate, or from any other monies due or that may become due the Contractor on account of the Agreement. If on completion or termination of the Agreement such monies due the Contractor are found insufficient to cover the City's charges against the Contractor, the City shall have the right to recover the balance from the Contractor or the Contractor’s sureties.
(g) Release: The Contractor and each assignee under an assignment in effect at the time of Final Payment shall, if required by the City, execute and deliver at the time of Final Payment and as a condition precedent to Final Payment, a release in form and substance satisfactory to and containing such exemptions as may be found appropriate by the City, discharging the City, its officers, agents and employees of and from liabilities, obligations and claims arising under this Agreement. (h) Payment to Sub-contractors and Suppliers: The Contractor shall pay each sub-contractor and supplier promptly on receipt of each progress payment from the City for the materials, labor and equipment delivered to the site or incorporated in the work by each sub-contractor during the period for which the progress payment is made, less any retention as provided above.
(i) Stop Notice Costs: The City reserves the right to charge the Contractor or surety, or to withhold from release of retention, all costs incurred by the City, including attorney’s fees, for processing and defending stop notice claims.
(j) Contractor shall be entitled to, an increase in the Contract Price where the cost to Contractor for any labor, raw-material or component (including without limitation, solar panels, tracking equipment, inverters, lighting and mechanical system components or any other equipment or materials necessary to complete the work required by this Agreement) increases after the date of this Agreement. Such increase may be determined by the relative index for such labor, equipment, or material component including but limited to Consumer Price Index, The Steel Index, Commodity Indexes, Producer Price Index (PPI) for electrical equipment and components, regional utility tariff applicable to solar and battery energy storage system (BESS), freight and logistics indices relevant to project delivery, etc.
Contractor shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment in time and money for any costs that it incurs directly or indirectly that arise out of or relate to changes in taxes, tariffs, or similar charges due to such changes including, without limitation, escalation, delay damages, costs to re-procure, costs to change suppliers, costs of manufactured equipment or system components, or other costs of any kind resulting from the changes.
In the event that the cost of key materials (e.g., solar PV modules, lithium-ion batteries, steel, copper) decrease by more than 10% from Docusign Envelope ID: FE19C87D-D6E5-40B8-9CC1-638A2F5B10DC CD-19
the baseline pricing used in the original proposal, the Contractor Price shall be adjusted downward accordingly. The Contractor shall notify the City within fifteen (15) days of such a decrease and apply the reduction to the next invoice cycle.
If, at any point prior to Final Completion, the total projected cost of the Project increases beyond mutually agreed amounts, either Party may initiate a Value Engineering Review. If, after good faith efforts, the Parties are unable to identify mutually acceptable cost reduction measures, either Party may terminate this Agreement without penalty or further obligation, except for payment of work completed to date.
