TOPIC: Public Works Building and Facilities Electrical Contractors
AGENDA TITLE
Aggregate Agreements for Electrical Contractor Services (Specification No. 25-069A) (General Fund & Non-General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute agreements with Fineline Products, Inc.dba Fineline Electric, Inter-Pacific, Inc., Radiant Electric LLC, and Williams and Maher, Inc. for electrical contractor services for shared aggregate not-to-exceed total of $3,150,000 for the term beginning October 7, 2025 and expiring October 6, 2028, with provisions for one, two-year extension (Core Agreement No. A-2025-XXX).
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency (PWA) Parks, Fleet, Facilities, and Refuse Division oversees City-owned facilities and parks that require general electrical repair services. These services may include installing or re-routing conduit, adding switches and receptacles, testing circuits, upgrading panels, wiring modifications, and other electrical related work as needed. This type of work must be completed by certified electricians and contractors possessing a valid California Class C-10 electrical contractor’s license.
Public works staff perform a variety of electrical work in-house such as, replacing light fixtures, resetting breakers, and swapping out outlets. More complex electrical tasks require a high level of expertise that often involve working on live circuits or high-voltage systems, which pose significant safety risks if handled improperly. Establishing aggregate electrical contractor service agreements supplements staff capabilities and ensures the work is completed in accordance with applicable safety codes by licensed electricians.
The City currently allocates an average of $380,000 annually for electrical repairs, modifications, renovations, and tenant improvement projects. However, increased electricial materials costs, combined with increasing demand for electrical service upgrades stemming from the expansion of electric vehicle charging infrastructure are

expected to significantly impact service needs. Based on these factors, staff projects annual expenditures may rise to approximately $605,000.
Invitation for Bids (IFB) No. 25-069A was issued on June 10, 2025 on the City’s online bid management and publication system, PlanetBids. A summary of vendor participation and results are as follows:
41 Vendors notified
4 Santa Ana vendors notified
39 Vendors downloaded the bid packet
12 Responsive proposals received
2 Proposals received from Santa Ana
vendors
Bids were opened on July 1, 2025, and evaluated (Exhibit 1). Twelve proposals were submitted by the IFB deadline and all were determined to be responsive to the specifications and met the City’s requirements.
Local Outreach Efforts
The Purchasing Division advertised this IFB on PlanetBids, which directly notified four Santa Ana vendors. Three Santa Ana vendors downloaded the IFB and two submitted a bid for consideration.
The bids submitted by Fineline Electric, Inter-Pacific, Inc., Radiant Electric LLC, and Williams & Maher, Inc. were determined to be the lowest, responsible, and responsive to the City’s specifications for this IFB. Fineline Electric, Inter-Pacific, Inc., and Williams & Maher have each demonstrated proven expertise in providing electrical contractor services for the City. Their performance has consistently met or exceeded expectations, reinforcing their reliability and capability in supporting the City’s electrical needs.
Radiant Electric LLC has not worked for the City in the past but their proposal, references, and over 30 years of industry experience demonstrates their ability to provide the same quality service. Staff recommends the approval of the recommended action for all four vendors to be on the City’s list of qualified vendors of a shared aggregate not-to-exceed total of $3,150,000 for all four agreements (Exhibits 2-5) to ensure faster response times, competitive pricing, and flexibility in addressing specialized needs.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with the action.
