DISCUSSION:

On January 10, 2022, the City Manager authorized the Purchasing Manager to solicit the procurement for Generator Repair and Preventative Maintenance Service. On March 13, 2024, the Purchasing Division issued Invitation For Bids (IFB) No. 2122-46RB, Generator Repair and Preventative Maintenance Service, on the City’s PlanetBids public bidding website under various commodity codes1. Prospective bidders were notified online and via email of the bid opportunity.

Twenty-Five (25) companies downloaded the IFB document from PlanetBids.

On April 23, 2024, bids were formally opened in the City Clerk office and broadcast via Microsoft Teams Livestream. Two (2) companies chose to respond, and no local bids were received. Based on providing the lowest responsive and responsible bid, City staff recommends awarding the Generator Repair and Preventative Maintenance Service Agreements to Bay City as Primary and PowerGen Inc. of Tracy CA (“PowerGen”) as Secondary for a two (2) year agreement with three (3) one-year extension options, for a total amount not to exceed $1,214,800 over five years. Staff is requesting to give the Director of Finance the approval to adjust agreement totals between vendors based on availability and department needs.

To ensure continued service to the City, contracts may be awarded to more than one contractor to provide backup if the primary contractor is unable to meet the City’s needs. A secondary contractor may be awarded a specific job if the primary contractor is unable to perform the service, unable to complete the specific job within the time frame required by the City, or unable to maintain acceptable quality standards required by the City.

The operation of Wastewater generators is essential to maintaining operations in the event a generator fails and emergency rental services are required, and $250,000 from the Wastewater Fund will be allocated for emergency rental purposes only.

Modesto Municipal Code Section 8-3.203 generally requires all purchases which meet or exceed $100,000 for material, equipment, or contractual services to follow formal bid procedures. An award of bid and Agreements for Generator Repair and Preventative Maintenance Service for citywide use to Bay City and PowerGen conforms to the Modesto Municipal Code because the 1 69000 Power Generation Equipment, and Supplies

A written request for administrative hearing shall be accompanied by a certified or cashier's check in the amount of $1,500, (except for protests of Federally Funded projects); The request for hearing shall include the specific grounds of the appeal.

The City of Modesto shall select and engage an impartial and qualified person to act as hearing officer in the pending protest. The protestor shall have the right to twice reject the selected hearing officer, provided that the City is notified of such rejection within three days of notice to protestor of the name of the hearing officer.

The protest shall be heard not later than twenty days after receipt of protestor's request for hearing and the selection of a hearing officer. Protests not made in a timely manner shall be deemed withdrawn, unless the City and the protestor mutually agree otherwise in writing. The protestor’s failure to accept a hearing officer after the third attempt by City staff to identify an impartial hearing officer shall be deemed a withdrawal of the protest.

The costs of the hearing officer and expenses of the protest shall be borne by the protestor. The sums deposited with the request for hearing shall be credited to the costs of the hearing officer and other hearing expenses.
f. Mandatory Alternative Process for Protests of Procurements Obtained with Federal Funds: If the protested procurement involves federal funds, the Deputy City Manager, City Council, or hearing officer shall give notice, accompanying their respective decisions, to the protestor that he or she has the right to appeal to the appropriate federal agency, for which an agency name, contact (where available) and address shall be provided by City staff. Such an appeal shall be filed with the appropriate agency within seven business days of the dispatch or rejection notices to the protestor. Federal agencies may entertain protests alleging that the City has failed to adopt written protest procedures or has failed to follow such procedures. The City Council is the highest authority of the City of Modesto, and its decisions are final. A disappointed Bidder for a contract involving expenditures of Federal funds shall have the right to appeal the City Council decision directly to the federal agency as described herein. #15..

Any contract award to result from this IFB process and Bidder’s submission of a Bid therewith will require approval by a majority vote of the City of Modesto’s City Council. In order to have full transparency in any City of Modesto commercial actions, the City Council may not approve an agreement between the City and the Bidder until all person with a direct or indirect financial interest of greater than $2,000 in the Bidder are identified by name.

Bidder must therefore complete this Bid Form F – Financial Interest Disclosure, listing by name all parties that have a material financial interest in the agreement, contract or development right.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Financial Interest Disclosure is not required for a Bidder meeting the financial criteria for listing on the New York or the Pacific Stock exchanges unless it is reasonably foreseeable that a City Council decision will increase or decrease that entity's gross revenues or expenses by one million dollars ($1,000,000) or more and the requirements of Modesto Municipal Code Section 2-

10.03(h) are satisfied.

It is the legal obligation of all applicants for approval of an agreement or of an application for development rights to verify in writing, under penalty of perjury, that the identity of each person having a material financial interest in the Bidder is true, correct and complete. By signing below, the applicant understands that this information is provided under penalty of perjury, and that intentionally supplying misinformation or deception may result in either invalidation of the agreement or application, or criminal prosecution for misdemeanor violation of the Modesto Municipal Code, or both.

Consider approving Purchasing Agreement with West Coast Sand and Gravel, Inc. of Buena Park, CA, for the purchase of rock, sand, and gravel for a total amount not to exceed $3,920,700 over five years. (Funding Source: Various Funds)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:

The recommended action supports the 2020-2025 City of Modesto Strategic Plan Initiatives, Goal D: Provide safe, efficient, and reliable infrastructure through proactive community investment, maintenance, and sustainability efforts.

BACKGROUND:

Various departments throughout the City utilize aggregate base, cut back, fractured rock, hydropatch, concrete mix, 3/4” crushed rock, 3/8” crushed rock, drain rock, concrete sand, cobblestone, and track-out rock for city related construction projects and city road maintenance.

The Water Division utilizes aggregate base, crushed rock and sand for various construction projects, infrastructure maintenance, capital improvement projects, backfilling and compacting holes, emergency repairs, customer water meter line repair, and main water line repairs. Concrete mix and base rock are used to provide compaction and water absorption for saturated holes.

On October 1, 2019, by Resolution 2019-445, Council approved an Agreement for the award of bids for the purchase of rock, sand and gravel to West Coast Sand and Gravel, Inc. of Buena Park, CA as the primary vendor and California Landscape Supply of Ceres, CA as the secondary vendor, for a two (2) year agreement with three (3) one-year extension options at the sole discretion of the City, for an estimated annual cost not to exceed $606,000 and an estimated combined cost not to exceed $3,030,000 over five (5) years.

On February 1, 2022, the Purchasing Manager approved a First Amendment to the purchase agreement with West Coast Sand and Gravel to include pricing for deliveries to Crows Landing, CA.

On November 21, 2023, the Director of Finance approved a Second Amendment to the purchase agreement with West Coast Sand and Gravel to include pricing for deliveries to Patterson, CA.

DISCUSSION:

On April 2, 2024, the City Manager authorized the Purchasing Manager to solicit the procurement for the Purchase of Rock, Sand, and Gravel. On April 25, 2024, the Purchasing Division issued Invitation for Bids (IFB) No. 2324-82, Purchase of Rock, Sand and Gravel on the City’s PlanetBids public bidding website under various commodity codes1. Prospective bidders were notified online and via email of the bid opportunity. Fifteen (15) companies downloaded the IFB document from PlanetBids.

On June 4, 2024, bids were formally opened in the City Clerk’s office and broadcast via Microsoft Teams Livestream. Two (2) companies chose to respond, there was one (1) local bid received.

Based on providing the lowest responsive and responsible bid, City staff recommended awarding the Purchase of Rock, Sand and Gravel to West Coast Sand and Gravel, Inc., Buena Park, CA for a two (2) year agreement with three (3) one-year extension options, for an estimated annual amount of $712,000, and a total not to exceed $3,920,700 over five years.

Modesto Municipal Code Section 8-3.203 generally requires all purchases which meet or exceed $100,000 for material, equipment, or contractual services to follow formal bid procedures. An award of bid and agreement for the Purchase of Rock, Sand and Gravel to West Coast Sand and Gravel, Inc. conforms to the Modesto Municipal Code because the City complied with the formal bid procedures, and West Coast Sand and Gravel, Inc. was the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The original agreements for the purchase of rock, sand, and gravel were approved with a spending authority not to exceed $3,030,000 over five years. Staff is requesting that the new agreement be approved with a spending authority not to exceed $3,920,700 over five years. This projected increase is due in part to the fact that spending was uncharacteristically lower during COVID (2020-21). When restrictions eased, Citywide spending for rock, sand and gravel doubled in one year and is on track to do the same during the final year of the agreement. Staff believes that this is more indicative of the City’s projected spending for the new agreement, especially considering the increase in Measure H funded projects for multiple City Divisions.

Expenditures for Agreement #166751 over the past five years are listed in the following table:

Contract Year Dates Expended
CY1 10/1/19 – 9/30/20 $ 392,903
CY2 10/1/20 – 9/30/21 $ 315,376

CY4 10/1/22 – 9/30/23 $ 625,335
CY5 10/1/23 – 9/30/24 $ 175,602
Grand Total: $1,823,705
1 75077 Sand & Gravel
96826 Crushing, Screening, Etc. of All Types of New or Recycled Aggregate, Brick or Stone Products Incl. Road Materials

10.03(h) are satisfied.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE OF MEETING:

August 27, 2024
Date: August 22, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Joseph P. Lopez, City Manager
SUBJECT: First Amendment to the Lease Agreement with The Baseball Club of Modesto, LLC for John Thurman Field
CONTACT: Joseph P. Lopez, City Manager, [email protected], 209-577-5223 DESCRIPTION:

Consider approving a First Amendment to the Lease Agreement with The Baseball Club of Modesto, LLC to lease John Thurman Field through September 30, 2025, and authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to finalize the language of the agreement pursuant to the negotiated terms and execute the Amendment. (Funding Source: Capital Improvement Project (CIP) 101019/General Fund)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:

This action supports the City’s 2020-2025 Strategic Plan’s Area of Focus to promote its economic vitality goals to drive the success of a vibrant and economically sustainable business climate, build and promote a recognizable and desirable identity of the City of Modesto, and to make downtown Modesto a regional destination.

BACKGROUND:

The City owns the property, stadium, and parking facilities that comprise John Thurman Field located at 601 Neece Drive. On February 27, 2024, by Resolution No. 2024-052, Council approved an agreement with The Baseball Club of Modesto LLC to lease the John Thurman Field Facility through September 30, 2024. This agreement gave the parties additional time to enter negotiations for a long-term lease.

DISCUSSION:

During this period, the parties were unable to reach agreement on a long-term lease.

Subsequently, on July 10, 2024, the parties announced publicly that a mutual agreement on a long-term lease extension could not be reached. Since then, there have been additional conversations and the City and The Baseball Club of Modesto LLC have reached a tentative draft lease amendment for a one-year term extension. This amendment will allow the parties to continue negotiations for a long-term lease.
