extension options. The City exercised the two-year options, and the final extension expires June 30, 2024.

The City must retain a contractor to manage vegetation at Point Molate during the dry season to remove dead trees, shrubs, grasses, and weeds, which can serve as fuel in the event of a wildfire. To avoid an interruption of service affecting the City of Richmond operations, including dry season fuel reduction, staff requested bids from three landscape maintenance firms for six months of service. The bids are listed below in alphabetical order of company name:

Contractor Bid Amount

1. Brightview (Martinez) $45,648.00

2. Forster & Kroeger (San Rafael) $45,000.00

3. Pacific Site Management (Auburn) $45,000.00
Two firms, namely Forster & Kroeger and Pacific Site Management, provided identical low bids. Forster & Kroeger is located in San Rafael, approximately ten miles west of Richmond. Pacific Site Management is in Auburn, California, which is slightly over one hundred miles east and north of Richmond. Since the prices are identical, and due to the absence of any cause for disqualifying one of the low bids, and due to the lack of any other criteria on which to compare the two low bids, staff recommends contracting with the firm that is located only ten miles away, namely, Forster & Kroeger.

Staff recommends a six-month contract for Point Molate vegetation management with Forster & Kroeger Landscape Maintenance, Inc., with a term ending on December 31, 2024.

A formal Request for Proposals/Bids will be posted in the first quarter of the 2024-2025 fiscal year to conduct the competitive bid process to comply with the City Richmond’s Municipal Code five-year contract term limit. Attachment 1 contains the proposed contract.

EXHIBIT G

SANCTUARY CITY COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
The undersigned, an authorized agent of (hereafter
"Contractor"), has had an opportunity to review the requirements of City of Richmond Ordinance 12-18 (hereafter "Sanctuary City Contracting Ordinance" or “SCCO”).

RECOMMENDED ACTION: APPROVE a second contract amendment with Ninyo & Moore, in the amount of $500,000, for ‘as-needed’
construction materials testing services, for a new total contract amount not to exceed $1,350,000 – Public
Works (Daniel Chavarria 510-620-5478/ Jene LevineSnipes 510-307-8132).

DISCUSSION:

The Engineering Division of the Public Works Department is requesting that the City Council approve a second contract amendment with Ninyo & Moore, an engineering firm that provides material testing services to ensure quality and compliance with contract specifications, for as-needed construction materials testing for various City projects. The firm has advanced laboratory facilities that are fully equipped and staffed by professionals, with laboratory testing services supervised by a registered professional engineer. Ninyo & Moore can perform a wide range of construction materials testing, which includes soil, concrete, asphalt, masonry, steel, and more. All testing equipment is annually calibrated by representatives who use equipment traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology and inspected by the Cement and Concrete Reference Laboratory (CCRL) regularly.

This is an on-call contract, and work will be allocated as the City issues task orders (also known as Work Authorizations) for Ninyo & Moore to provide services. Materials testing services will be provided on an as-needed basis for projects funded through various sources, and Work Authorizations will be issued based on identified funds prior to service performance. No additional appropriation of funds will be required for the approval of this contract amendment.

Public Works Engineering staff will oversee the contract with the materials testing service, which was initially approved by the City Council in October 2021 for $250,000, and amended on April 18, 2023 in the amount of $600,000. Public Works staff is requesting a second contract amendment in the amount of $500,000 for a new total payment limit $1,350,000 and exercise the option to increase the term of the contract to September 30, 2026, per the Resolution 121-21 (See Attachment 2).
