Modesto will cause delays in getting necessary parts, which could cause operational disruptions in vehicles returning to service.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Sufficient funds are budgeted in Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25 to cover the cost of these agreements. The primary funding source for these agreements will be funded by the Fleet Fund and secondary funding sources which include the outside service agreements such as fire service contracts and Stanislaus Regional Transit Authority. An increase is recommended for the new agreements due to anticipated inflation increases as well as new fleet vehicles that will be added to the City’s inventory with the addition or increase of City programs funded through Measure H which required the purchase of new vehicles.
Below is a summary of the last five-year spending history for the three vendors.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE OF MEETING:
September 10, 2024
Date: August 27, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: Joseph P. Lopez, City Manager
FROM: DeAnna Christensen, Director of Finance
SUBJECT: Electrical Parts Agreements
CONTACT: Dianne Love, Purchasing Manager, [email protected], 209-571-5164
DESCRIPTION:
Consider approving the Purchasing Agreements for the purchase of Electrical Parts and Supplies to Platt Electric, Modesto, CA, Wille Electric, Modesto, CA and Consolidated Electric Distributors, Modesto, CA for a total amount not to exceed $1,625,000 over five years. (Funding Source: Various Funds)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
This item advances the City of Modesto 2020-2025 Strategic Plan Area: Governance and Service Delivery: “build community trust in City government through responsive, transparent and efficient service delivery”; Goal J: “build a high-performance organization”.
BACKGROUND:
City staff purchases various electrical parts and supplies which include numerous types of fuses, wiring, conduit, connectors, fittings, photo controls, wiring devices, tools, circuits, drill sets, bulbs, blades, bushings, etc. These parts are needed to maintain the electrical functions for equipment, City property and infrastructure needs for all City assets.
On September 24, 2019, under Resolution 2019-414, Council approved the purchasing agreements for Electrical Parts and Supplies to Platt Electric, Modesto CA, Wille Electric, Modesto, CA and Consolidated Electric Distributors, Modesto, CA for one-year agreements with four one-year extension options, for an estimated combined annual cost of $255,000 and a total combined cost not to exceed $1,275,000 over five years for all vendors. All three agreements are scheduled to expire on September 23, 2024.
DISCUSSION:
The Finance Department Purchasing Division evaluated competitive bidding pricing through several cooperative agreements which include the State of California, OMNIA Partners and Sourcewell to evaluate other awarding competitive vendors. As part of this review, there was a #15..

Electrical Parts Agreements
cooperative agreement identified for Platt Electric. However, there was no cooperative agreement identified for Wille Electric or Consolidated Electric Distributors for the Electrical Parts and Supplies. Additionally, the Purchasing Division evaluated other vendors who are selling similar parts or through resale at a higher price.
In 2024, City staff met with the three local vendors with whom City has business relationships:
Wille Electric, Consolidated Electric Distributors and Platt Electric. Staff followed-up with these vendors to understand the business in greater depth to determine availability of parts, range of manufacturers and whether the City could obtain a higher discount with each vendor, and learned the following:
Consolidated Electric Distributors (CED) is a local vendor, located in North Modesto and has provided the City with over 700 electrical parts and supplies from over 40 different manufacturers in the past few years. These items range in price from a few dollars to a few thousand dollars, depending on the needs of the City. Approximately 600 of these items are priced under $200 and have had multiple purchases throughout the fiscal year. CED carries over 4,000 SKUs of various electrical supplies, in-stock locally. Due to their many locations across the US, they can supply products from hundreds of manufacturers across the electrical industry. CED does provide the City discounts, as well as passes along extra discounts as they receive them from the manufacturer. The needs of the City are ever changing, so the discounts fluctuate in the range from 15- 65%, depending on product, manufacturer, and volume of purchase.
Wille Electric is a local vendor, located near Downtown Modesto. They also provide the City with over 500 parts among several manufacturers. These items range in price from $10 to $15,000, with about 75% of the parts under $1,000. Wille Electric was successful in building a partnership with several manufacturers and was able to negotiate better pricing for the items that represent the majority of the City’s spend. Additionally, Wille Electric has established a list price discount for three manufacturers, thus resulting in an overall increase of our discount percentage off list price. The new overall discount is approximately 40%.
Platt Electric provides the City with over 500 items from 73 different manufacturers. Over 300 of the items are priced less than $100, and approximately 300 items are purchased two to three times annually. Platt Electric provides competitive pricing, and has a local presence here in Modesto, and a distribution warehouse in Patterson, CA. Typically if the local store does not have an item in stock, the vendor can have the item within one to two days. This allows for a quick and convenient process in obtaining parts.
As mentioned, Platt Electric has a cooperative agreement the City can utilize to meet the City’s bidding requirements. On February 27, 2023, Educational and Institutional (E&I) Cooperative Services issued Request for Proposal EI00209-2023RFP under Master Agreement Number EI100339~2023MA for Electrical Supplies, Equipment, and Other Related Products & Services which was advertised through USA Today and the E&I Procurement Portal. On March 8, 2023, proposals were opened at E&I main office location. Two (2) proposals were received and based on the evaluation criteria outlined in the RFP, one (1) contract was awarded for this commodity for Electrical Parts and Supplies which was Vantage Group Distributors with Platt Electric being included as part of this distributor. Vantage Electrical Group provides a comprehensive solution for electrical system design, installation, service, and procurement which provides members #15..

with a seamless procurement and cost-effective solution for electrical needs. Vantage Group Distributors include – Crescent Electric Supply Co., Platt Electric, Rexel, McNaughton-McKay Electric Co., Westbourne, BA Supply, Interstate Electric Supply, Stoneway Electric Supply, Nedco, and Gexpro. The Vantage Electrical Group Cooperative Agreement establishes set pricing for all servicing distributors, including Platt Electric.
Agreements with these three vendors enables City staff to procure Electrical parts and supplies throughout their shifts. Platt Electric opens at 6 am, whereas Wille Electric opens at 7 am and is closed for lunch from Noon to 1 pm. A normal workday for staff typically begins at 6 am and ends approximately 4:30 pm, with at least one staff member being on the rotating 24-hour OnCall shift. Both Platt Electric and Wille Electric offer 24/7 emergency service, ensuring that staff can access necessary supplies at any time. Notably, Wille Electric has a history of accommodating after-hours and emergency requests by opening the store outside of regular business hours. Having three vendors will allow staff to purchase items from multiple vendors, in case one vendor is unable to fulfill the order. This approach ensures a more reliable supply chain and can help mitigate potential disruptions.
Modesto Municipal Code Section 8-3.203 generally requires all purchases which meet or exceed $100,000 for material, equipment, or contractual services to be formally bid. However, exceptions to the formal bidding process are granted in MMC 8-3.204(d) “Where the Purchasing Manager, in her discretion, determines that a process other than the formal bid procedure set for in Section 8-3.203 will results in procurement for the City at the lowest possible cost commensurate with the desired quality.” City Staff requested a price list detailing the discounts each vendor can provide for each item. Following this, City Staff conducted a price analysis to determine the average discount offered by each vendor. The analysis revealed that Consolidated Electric Distributor offers an average discount of 51%, while Wille Electric provides an average discount of 47%. City staff conducted a price comparison with other local vendors for frequently purchased items. We found that the prices at Wille Electric and Platt Electric were comparable to or lower than those of other vendors. Also, the proximity of Wille Electric and Platt Electric to our location results in significant time savings for our staff. In addition, MMC 8-3.202(h) encourages the Purchasing Manager to join with the State of California and other units of government in cooperative purchasing plans when the best cost savings interest of the City could be served. Both requirements were met based on the Competitive Bidding Process selected by E&I Cooperative Services.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Sufficient funds are budgeted in Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25 to support the cost for these agreements. The funding source for these agreements is approximately 92% utilized by the Surface Transportation Fund and Utility Funds.
Below is a summary of spending for the three vendors over a five-year period. #15..

E&I Cooperative Services, Inc. Page 1 of 16
Master Agreement Number EI00339~2023MA V03.24.2022
This Master Agreement (the “Agreement”) is effective as of September 01, 2023 by and between Vantage Electrical Group, Inc d.b.a. Vantage Group, a Nevada S Corporation with offices located at 610 N. Route 31, Crystal Lake, Illinois 60012 (“Supplier”), and Educational and Institutional Cooperative Services, Inc., a New York non-profit corporation with offices located at 2 Jericho Plaza, Suite 309, Jericho, NY 11753 (“E&I”), hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Parties” or individually to as the “Party”.
This Agreement has been established based on EI00209~2023RFP for Electrical Supplies, Equipment, and Other Related Products & Services, all addenda, Supplier response, best and final offer, and negotiations. The Supplier has a network of electrical distributors known in this Agreement as “Servicing Distributors”. The Servicing Distributors are the ordering, invoicing, and distribution locations for Members using this Agreement. All Members will have access to the Servicing Distributor network and may be assigned to the closest Servicing Distributor to the Member’s campus or location. Members are to contact Vantage Group for Servicing Distributor assignment.
I. Scope
This National agreement shall apply to all E&I Member institutions (“Member” or “Members”) as listed in the Official Member List, as updated from time to time, to be provided to the Supplier, its divisions, subsidiaries and affiliates. In addition, if E&I elects to participate in the Agreement, they shall be considered a Member.
This Agreement does not constitute a purchase order or a commitment to purchase products and/or services by E&I or its Members. Any purchases made under this Agreement shall be made by the individual participating Member and any resulting contract shall be between the Member and the Supplier.
II. Term of Agreement
The Agreement’s initial term shall be for five (5) years (“Initial Term”), effective 09/01/2023 through 08/31/2028, and may be renewed for a Renewal Term not to exceed an additional five (5) years. Prior to the end of the Initial Term, and for each successive Renewal Term, the Agreement will be evaluated in overall context and performance. Exercise of any renewal will require formal written notification and mutual agreement between E&I and Supplier at least one (1) year prior to Agreement expiration.
III. [Negotiated] Pricing
The discount percentage for the products and/or services as listed on Attachment A shall be applicable to all purchases made under this Agreement for the Initial Term of the Agreement and any Renewal Terms thereafter, unless amended by the Parties. Prices shall remain firm for at least the first twelve (12) months of the Agreement Initial Term unless improved for the benefit of Members. Supplier is authorized to offer Members enhanced pricing on a case-by-case basis or under a Member Specific Agreement (“MSA”) and both shall be considered part of this Agreement. Any variances in pricing for Members shall be reported to E&I’s applicable Contract Manager.
After the first twelve (12) months of the Agreement Initial Term, the Supplier may request pricing and/or discount changes or increases. Supplier agrees to hold pricing for the same duration allowed by the applicable manufacturer; however, Supplier agrees that it shall not make more than two (2) price increase requests per twelve (12) month period.
With any price increase request, the Supplier must certify in writing that the price change request meets the criteria in Section B10 and shall be accompanied by justification for any increase to include, but not limited to, manufacturers’ national price increase announcement letter, a complete and detailed description of the specific products and/or services impacted and by what percentage, index data and any other relevant information to support the increase. Price increases must be approved by E&I no less than thirty (30) days in advance for proper communication to Members and must be memorialized in writing and signed by both parties with an amendment. However, following the approval of any price increase during the term of this Agreement, should any applicable manufacturer’s prices decrease, reducing Supplier’s cost of providing the products and/or services covered under this Agreement, Supplier agrees to reducing the cost for the benefit of the Member, to maintain the same profit margin.
IV. EDGAR Provisions
Supplier certifies compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, rules, regulations, and ordinances as acknowledged in Attachment C, Supplier’s response to RFP EI00209~2023RFP EDGAR Certifications requirements.

Request for Proposal – EI00209~2023RFP V04.05.22
1. General Overview
Description of Cooperative
Educational & Institutional Cooperative Services, Inc. (E&I) is a member owned New York non-profit corporation established in 1934 and is governed by a Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is a group of professionals who are elected by the E&I Membership. The Board provides oversight to ensure the Members’ needs are addressed and met. Our Membership is comprised of public and private universities and colleges, community colleges, other affiliated members, K-12, and teaching healthcare facilities throughout the United States.
Our mission is to assist our members in creating supply-chain efficiencies, lowering costs and reducing risks by collaborating with our members, suppliers and strategic partners. We deliver exceptional value to higher education, K-12 and related communities by making it easy for them to access high-quality contracts, strategic sourcing expertise, insights and unrivaled customer service.
Purpose and Intent of the Request for Proposal (RFP)
The purpose of this RFP is to establish a cost-effective Master Agreement (“Agreement”) for Electrical Supplies, Equipment, and Other Related Products & Services which complies with our Member procurement requirements and will provide E&I Members a procurement vehicle to acquire the products and/or services outlined within this RFP. All E&I Members will be eligible to participate in the resulting agreement.
Products and/or services considered for award shall equal or exceed the quality level of industry standards as defined within this RFP and shall comply with all applicable federal, state, and local technical, environmental, and performance standards and specifications.
The awarded Respondent(s) is/are expected to be the manufacturer or a fully authorized dealer/distributor for any of the manufacturers it proposes. The Respondent and its distributors must be able to provide service and timely deliveries to all Members and campuses. Direct involvement by the awarded Respondent may be necessary to assist Members in understanding the different types of products/services available and in selecting the best solution to fit their needs.
E&I is committed to utilizing purchasing and business practices in accordance with the National Association of Educational Procurement Code of Ethics. The primary goals and objectives of E&I are to: (1) assist our Members to obtain the absolute lowest cost and best value that exceeds other public sector consortia agreements, (2) establish a strategic sourcing partnership with any selected manufacturer(s) and authorized dealers, and (3) enhance our position as the premier Procurement Cooperative for Education.
Market Opportunity
By satisfying the above Member needs, the Cooperative anticipates significant Member purchases to be recorded against the resulting Agreement(s). The Cooperative currently has more than 5,000 Members, comprised of roughly 50% public and 50% private. K-12 school districts, academic healthcare and research institutions are eligible for membership in E&I. The Cooperative’s expectations are a substantial opportunity for growth (in terms of Member purchases) with competitively awarded Agreement(s) in these markets. There is also interest in utilizing the potential contract by the Participating Oregon Community Colleges (POCC).
Member Participation
Once the awarded Respondent has been established and the Agreement finalized, individual E&I Members (in some situations Member departments) will review the awarded Respondent’s program and determine their individual participation. See Section B43 of E&I’s Master Agreement Template General Terms and Conditions for specific details on how members participate in awarded Respondent’s program. The awarded Respondent’s program includes the Agreement along with additional supporting materials (if any) developed by the awarded Respondent.
Upon award of a Master Agreement from this RFP, the Respondent shall be provided an electronic file listing of E&I Members.
Updated versions will be sent as needed. E&I will post the awarded Respondent’s program on the E&I internal web site which is password protected and only available to E&I Members. #15..

SUBJECT: Business Justification for Electrical Parts and Supplies City of Modesto staff purchases numerous items that include various types of fuses, wiring, conduit, connectors, fittings, photo controls, wiring devices, tools, circuits, drill sets, bulbs, blades, bushings, etc. Blanket purchase orders have been utilized citywide but heavily used by the Utilities Department’s Water, Wastewater and Electrical divisions for such purchases. To address this past practice, Staff attempted to gather information from vendors in order to competitively bid these items but found that with the fluctuating market and vast unpredictable nature of the parts being used, that it was not feasible to proceed with a competitive process.
The City receives various percentages off "List" price from both Wille Electric and Consolidated Electric Company. Both Wille Electric and Consolidated Electric Company are our local vendors that the City has worked with for numerous years. With the various items purchased it is near impossible to put together a competitive bid that would account for all items needed. These agreements will be used for purchases that are under the $3,500 threshold and any purchases above the $3,500 threshold will need to have additional quotes. Therefore, the City is requesting the formal bidding process be waived.

b. Repairs to the extent that they exceed $100.00 for each individual item of repair shall be the responsibility of CAL OES on a $100.00 deductible basis, unless in the judgment of the CAL OES the need for repair results from misuse or negligence on the part of ASSIGNEE in the maintenance or use of the Apparatus, in which event the cost of each such item of repair above $100.00 shall also be the responsibility of ASSIGNEE.

CITY OF MODESTO
COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE OF MEETING:
September 10, 2024
Date: August 16, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: Joseph P. Lopez, City Manager
FROM: Jeremy Rogers, Director of Parks, Recreation and Neighborhoods SUBJECT: First Amendment to the Sutter Avenue Wastewater Treatment Facility New Cingular Wireless, PCS, LLC, Cell Tower Site Lease Agreement CONTACT: Nathan Houx, Parks Planning and Development Manager, [email protected], 209-571-5526
DESCRIPTION:
Consider approving a First Amendment to the Cell Tower Site Lease Agreement at the Sutter Avenue Wastewater Treatment Facility with New Cingular Wireless, PCS, LLC, to increase the lease area by an additional 150 square feet and to extend the maximum term of the Agreement through June 24, 2043. (Funding Source: Cell Tower Facility Rental Revenue) STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
This item is consistent with the following 2020-2025 Strategic Plan Areas of Focus: Quality of Life and Governance and Service Delivery.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Modesto partners with various cellular communication service providers by leasing city property for the placement and use of cell towers. These partnerships are a benefit to the residents of the City of Modesto by improving cellular service coverage throughout Modesto, improving coverage for the Federal Communications Commission mandated E9111 Services, and providing annual revenue to the City of Modesto.
On June 25, 2013, by Resolution No. 2013-235, Council approved a five (5)-year lease agreement with New Cingular Wireless, PCS, LLC, for approximately 844 square feet of ground space at the Sutter Avenue Wastewater Treatment Facility for the construction of the communication facilities. This agreement included three (3) extensions of five (5) years each, expiring June 24, 2033.
1 According to the Federal Communications Commission, “The FCC also requires wireless telephone carriers to provide 911 and E911 capability, where a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) requests it. Once it is implemented fully, wireless E911 will provide an accurate location for 911 calls from wireless phones.” - https://www.fcc.gov/general/9-1-1-and-e9-1-1-services
