1 CITY OF STANTON
REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
DATE: September 9, 2025
SUBJECT: AWARD OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR THE WESTERN
STORM CHANNEL GRATE REPLACEMENT PROJECT (TASK CODE
NO. 2026-401)
REPORT IN BRIEF:
In 2024, City staff applied for competitive grant funding from the Measure M2 Environmental Cleanup Program administered by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) to purchase and replace the existing grate at the storm channel on Western Avenue at 10660 Western Avenue. The OCTA Environmental Cleanup Program Allocation Committee awarded the requested grant funding in the amount of $20,240 to the City for the grate, and as such, the City must now proceed with the installation.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. City Council declare this project to be categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act, Class 1, Section 15301(b) as minor alteration of existing public utility; and
2. Accept the Measure M2 Environmental Cleanup Program grant funding in the maximum amount of $20,240; and
3. Waive the competitive bidding requirement in the City’s purchasing policy through the use of Cooperative Purchasing; and
4. Award a construction contract to G2 Construction in the amount of $28,395; and
5. Authorize the City Manager to make minor changes, if needed, to the City’s construction contract documents with approval of the City Attorney; and
6. Authorize the City Manager to bind the City of Stanton and G2 Construction, Inc. in a contract; and
7. Authorize the City Manager to approve contract change orders with G2 Construction, Inc., as needed and determined by City staff, up to $2,839.
Item: 9F
Click here to return to the agenda.
2 BACKGROUND:
The Measure M2 Environmental Cleanup Program (ECP), also known as Project X, administered by the OCTA provides competitive grant funding for water quality best management practices (structural devices) that will remove pollutants from runoff originating from roadways. The ECP grant funds 80% of the installation and project oversight labor costs and requires a 20% cash match.
ECP Tier 1 is designed to mitigate the more visible forms of pollutants, such as litter and debris that collect on the roadways and in the catch basins (i.e. storm drains) prior to being deposited in waterways and the ocean. It consists of funding for the equipment purchase and installation of screens, filters, inserts, and other “street scale” low flow diversion devices. Staff identified that the existing inlet grate at the storm channel on Western Avenue at 10660 Western Avenue is not efficient in capturing trash and debris and allowing water to flow through the channel. Flooding occurs on Western Avenue during rain events because water is unable to flow into the channel as the trash and debris clog the grate.
On June 11, 2024, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-23 authorizing the application of funds for the Environmental Cleanup, Tier 1 Grant Program, and the City’s project was approved by OCTA.
ANALYSIS/JUSTIFICATION:
Originally, the budget for the proposed project totaled $25,300, with approximately $20,240 coming from Tier 1 Grant Program Funds and $5,060 coming from the City’s 20% match.
Upon review of the original custom inlet grate’s design and site conditions, the City Engineer proposed installation of a revised custom inlet grate that is expected to be significantly more efficient. The project total for the revised inlet grate increased to $28,395. A Change of Scope was submitted to OCTA during the Semi-Annual Review period, which was approved; however, the maximum allocation amount available to the City remains $20,240.
The County of Orange has an active Contract with G2 Construction, Inc. for trash debris capture devices. The City’s custom designed grate is applicable to this contract as a new/alternative trash and debris device per Attachment A “Scope of Work” Section 4. “Eligibility Qualifications” Subsection G. “New, Emerging, or Alternative Trash and Debris Devices” as it is designed to remove litter, debris, and other water quality pollutants and to achieve strategic savings through reduced rates for equipment and installation for Orange County municipalities, including those implementing projects with M2 funding.
Staff reviewed the Contract and found it be in conformance with the requirements set forth in the City’s Purchasing Policy for Cooperative Purchasing as:
3 1. The Contract term between the County of Orange and G2 Construction, Inc. is from August 2025 to August 2030 (5-year term);
2. The source Contract does not preclude the City from using it as a contract for cooperative purchasing;
3. The awarding jurisdiction, County of Orange, is a county within the State of California;
4. The prospective vendor, G2 Construction, Inc., is the same vendor that was awarded the source Contract;
5. The scope of work in the source Contract is the same/substantially similar to the scope of work requested by the City; and
6. The City’s Contract has the same terms and conditions (or terms more favorable to the City than) those in the initial Contract.
As such, the City can rely on its cooperative purchasing provisions and may use the County of Orange’s vetted vendors for this service purchase. As such, staff is recommending award of contract to G2 Construction, Inc.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The approved Fiscal Year 2025/2026 Capital Improvement Program Budget includes $31,235 for this project (Task Code No. 2026-401). The City was awarded a Measure M2 competitive grant (under Project X) from OCTA for approximately $20,240, which will fund approximately 71.2 percent of the project costs, and the City is required to fund the remaining cost of $8,155 and any contingencies.
Description Amount
Construction Contract $ 28,395.00
Contingency $ 2,839.00
Total $ 31,234.50
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
The action requested in this report is categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act, Class 1, Section 15301(b) as minor alteration of existing public utility services.

Contractor promises and agrees, at its own cost and expense, to furnish to the City all labor, materials, tools, equipment, services, and incidental and customary work necessary to fully and adequately complete the Project, including all structures and facilities necessary for the Project or described in the Contract (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Work”), for a Total Contract Price as specified pursuant to this Contract. All Work shall be subject to, and performed in accordance with the above referenced documents, as well as the exhibits attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The plans and specifications for the Work are further described in Exhibit “B” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. Special Conditions, if any, relating to the Work are described in Exhibit “C” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
3.3.2 Change in Scope of Work. Any change in the scope of the Work, method of performance, nature of materials or price thereof, or any other matter materially affecting the performance or nature of the Work shall not be paid for or accepted unless such change, addition or deletion is approved in advance and in writing by a valid change order executed by the City.
3.3.3 Change Orders. Changes to the Contract Time (as defined in Section
3.3) or Total Contract Price shall be in the form of a written Change Order, either signed by both parties or issued unilaterally by the City. No adjustment shall be made to the Contract Time unless the delay impacts the critical path to completion and the delay was not caused in whole or in part by the Contractor. The City’s liability to Contractor for delays for which the City is responsible shall be limited to only an extension of time unless such delays were unreasonable under the circumstances. Failure to timely request a Change Order shall constitute a waiver of any right to adjust the Contract Time or the Total Contract Price. All requests for Change Orders shall be accompanied by detailed supporting documentation, including but not limited to payroll records, invoices, schedules, and any other documentation requested by the City for the purpose of determining the additional costs or the impact of any delay. If the change involves Work bid at a unit price, then the Total Contract Price shall be increased at the unit price. If there is no unit price, then the Total Contract Price shall be adjusted to account for costs actually incurred plus an allowed mark-up of fifteen percent (15%), which shall constitute the entire amount of profit, markups, field or home office overhead costs, including personnel, equipment or office space, any materials, or any costs of equipment idle time for such work. Regardless of ownership, equipment rates shall not exceed the listed prevailing rates at local equipment rental agencies, or distributors, at the time the work is performed. Nothing herein shall prevent the Parties from agreeing to a lump sum cost.
3.3.4 Changes Ordered By City. City may at any time issue a written directive ordering additions, deletions, or changes to the Work. Contractor shall proceed with the work in accordance with the directive. To the extent the directive results in extra work or requires additional Contract Time, Contractor shall request a Change Order within seven (7) days of receiving the Work Directive. If any costs are not capable of being determined within seven (7) days, then Contractor shall request a Change Order within seven (7) days of when the costs are capable of being determined.
3.3.5 Changes Requested By Contractor. With respect to any matter that may involve or require an adjustment to the Contract Time or the Contract Price, Contractor shall provide written notice of the underlying facts and circumstances that gave rise to the potential change within seven (7) days or prior to the alteration of conditions, whichever is earlier. Failure to give notice shall constitute a waiver of Contractor’s right to a change order. If any costs are not capable of being determined within seven (7) days, then Contractor shall request a Change Order within seven (7) days of when the costs are capable of being determined.
3.4 Substitutions/”Or Equal”. Pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 3400(b), the City may make a finding that designates certain products, things, or services by specific brand or trade name. Unless specifically designated in this Contract, whenever any material, process, or article is indicated or specified by grade, patent, or proprietary name or by name of manufacturer, such Specifications shall be deemed to be used for the purpose of facilitating the description of the material, process or article desired and shall be deemed to be followed by the words “or equal.”
Contractor may, unless otherwise stated, offer for substitution any material, process or article which shall be substantially equal or better in every respect to that so indicated or specified in this Contract. However, the City may have adopted certain uniform standards for certain materials, processes and articles. Contractor shall submit requests, together with substantiating data, for substitution of any “or equal” material, process or article no later than thirty-five (35) days after award of the Contract. To facilitate the construction schedule and sequencing, some requests may need to be submitted before thirty-five (35) days after award of Contract. Provisions regarding submission of “or equal” requests shall not in any way authorize an extension of time for performance of this Contract. If a proposed “or equal” substitution request is rejected, Contractor shall be responsible for providing the specified material, process or article. The burden of proof as to the equality of any material, process or article shall rest with Contractor.
The City has the complete and sole discretion to determine if a material, process or article is an “or equal” material, process or article that may be substituted. Data required to substantiate requests for substitutions of an “or equal” material, process or article data shall include a signed affidavit from Contractor stating that, and describing how, the substituted “or equal” material, process or article is equivalent to that specified in every way except as listed on the affidavit.
Substantiating data shall include any and all illustrations, specifications, and other relevant data including catalog information which describes the requested substituted “or equal” material, process or article, and substantiates that it is an “or equal” to the material, process or article. The substantiating data must also include information regarding the durability and lifecycle cost of the requested substituted “or equal” material, process or article. Failure to submit all the required substantiating data, including the signed affidavit, to the City in a timely fashion will result in the rejection of the proposed substitution.
Contractor shall bear all of the City’s costs associated with the review of substitution requests. Contractor shall be responsible for all costs related to a substituted “or equal” material, process or article. Contractor is directed to the Special Conditions (if any) to review any findings made pursuant to Public Contract Code section 3400.
3.5 Period of Performance and Liquidated Damages.
3.5.1 Contractor shall perform and complete all Work under this Contract within 30 days, beginning the effective date of the Notice to Proceed (“Contract Time”). Contractor shall perform its Work in strict accordance with any completion schedule, construction schedule or project milestones developed by the City. Such schedules or milestones may be included as part of Exhibits “A” or “B” attached hereto, or may be provided separately in writing to Contractor.
Contractor agrees that if such Work is not completed within the aforementioned Contract Time and/or pursuant to any such completion schedule, construction schedule or project milestones developed pursuant to provisions of the Contract, it is understood, acknowledged and agreed that the City will suffer damage. Pursuant to Government Code Section 53069.85, Contractor shall pay to the City as fixed and liquidated damages the sum of Two Thousand Eight Hundred Dollars ($2,800) per day for each and every calendar day of delay beyond the Contract Time or beyond any completion schedule, construction schedule or Project milestones established pursuant to the Contract.
3.5.2 If Contractor is delayed in the performance or progress of the Work by a Force Majeure Event (as defined herein), then the Contractor shall be entitled to a time extension, as provided herein, when the Work stopped is on the critical path and shall not be charged liquidated damages. Such a non-compensable adjustment shall be Contractor’s sole and exclusive remedy for such delays and the Contractor will not receive an adjustment to the Total Contract Price or any other compensation. Contractor must submit a timely request in accordance with the requirements of the Contract.
3.5.3 A Force Majeure Event shall mean an event that materially affects a party’s performance and is one or more of the following: (1) Acts of God or other natural disasters occurring at the project site; (2) terrorism or other acts of a public enemy; (3) orders of governmental authorities (including, without limitation, unreasonable and unforeseeable delay in the issuance of permits or approvals by governmental authorities that are required for the work); (4) pandemics, epidemics or quarantine restrictions; and (5) strikes and other organized labor action occurring at the project site and the effects thereof on the work, only to the extent such strikes and other organized labor action are beyond the control of Contractor and its subcontractors, of every tier, and to the extent the effects thereof cannot be avoided by use of replacement workers. For purposes of this section, “orders of governmental authorities,” includes ordinances, emergency proclamations and orders, rules to protect the public health, welfare and safety, and other actions of the City in its capacity as a municipal authority.
3.6 Standard of Performance; Performance of Employees. Contractor shall perform all Work under this Contract in a skillful and workmanlike manner, and consistent with the standards generally recognized as being employed by professionals in the same discipline in the State of California. Contractor represents and maintains that it is skilled in the professional calling necessary to perform the Work. Contractor warrants that all employees and subcontractors shall have sufficient skill and experience to perform the Work assigned to them.
Finally, Contractor represents that it, its employees and subcontractors have all licenses, permits, qualifications and approvals of whatever nature that are legally required to perform the Work, including a City Business License, and that such licenses and approvals shall be maintained throughout the term of this Contract. As provided for in the indemnification provisions of this Contract, Contractor shall perform, at its own cost and expense and without reimbursement from the City, any work necessary to correct errors or omissions which are caused by Contractor’s failure to comply with the standard of care provided for herein. Any employee who is determined by the City to be uncooperative, incompetent, a threat to the safety of persons or the Work, or any employee who fails or refuses to perform the Work in a manner acceptable to the City, shall be promptly removed from the Project by Contractor and shall not be re-employed on the Work.
3.7 Control and Payment of Subordinates; Contractual Relationship. City retains Contractor on an independent contractor basis and Contractor is not an employee of City. Any additional personnel performing the work governed by this Contract on behalf of Contractor shall at all times be under Contractor’s exclusive direction and control. Contractor shall pay all wages, salaries, and other amounts due such personnel in connection with their performance under this Contract and as required by law. Contractor shall be responsible for all reports and obligations respecting such additional personnel, including, but not limited to: social security taxes, income tax withholding, unemployment insurance, and workers’ compensation insurance.
3.8 City’s Basic Obligation. City agrees to engage and does hereby engage Contractor as an independent contractor to furnish all materials and to perform all Work according to the terms and conditions herein contained for the sum set forth above. Except as otherwise provided in the Contract, the City shall pay to Contractor, as full consideration for the satisfactory performance by Contractor of the services and obligations required by this Contract, the belowreferenced compensation in accordance with compensation provisions set forth in the Contract.
3.9 Labor.
3.9.1 Prevailing Wages. Contractor is aware of the requirements of California Labor Code Section 1720 et seq., and 1770 et seq., as well as California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 16000 et seq., (“Prevailing Wage Laws”), which require the payment of prevailing wage rates and the performance of other requirements on “public works” and “maintenance” projects. Since the Work is being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and if the total compensation is $1,000 or more, Contractor agrees to fully comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws. City shall provide Contractor with a copy of the prevailing rates of per diem wages in effect at the commencement of this Contract. Contractor shall make copies of the prevailing rates of per diem wages for each craft, classification or type of worker needed to execute the Services available to interested parties upon request, and shall post copies at Contractor’s principal place of business and at the project site. Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws. Contractor and any subcontractor shall forfeit a penalty of up to $200 per calendar day or portion thereof for each worker paid less than the prevailing wage rates.
3.9.2 Apprenticeable Crafts. When Contractor employs workmen in an apprenticeable craft or trade, Contractor shall comply with the provisions of Section 1777.5 of the California Labor Code with respect to the employment of properly registered apprentices upon public works. The primary responsibility for compliance with said section for all apprenticeable occupations shall be with Contractor. The Contractor or any subcontractor that is determined by the Labor Commissioner to have knowingly violated Section 1777.5 shall forfeit as a civil penalty an amount not exceeding $100 for each full calendar day of noncompliance, or such greater amount as provided by law.
3.9.3 Hours of Work. Contractor is advised that eight (8) hours labor constitutes a legal day’s work. Pursuant to Section 1813 of the California Labor Code, Contractor shall forfeit a penalty of $25.00 per worker for each day that each worker is permitted to work more than eight (8) hours in any one calendar day and forty (40) hours in any one calendar week, except when payment for overtime is made at not less than one and one-half (1-1/2) times the basic rate for that worker.
3.9.4 Payroll Records. Contractor and each subcontractor shall keep an accurate payroll record, showing the name, address, social security number, work classification, straight time and overtime hours worked each day and week, and the actual per diem wages paid to each journeyman, apprentice, worker, or other employee employed by him or her in connection with the public work. The payroll records shall be certified and shall be available for inspection at all reasonable hours at the principal office of Contractor in the manner provided in Labor Code section 1776. In the event of noncompliance with the requirements of this section, Contractor shall have 10 days in which to comply subsequent to receipt of written notice specifying in what respects such Contractor must comply with this section. Should noncompliance still be evident after such 10-day period, Contractor shall, as a penalty to City, forfeit not more than $100.00 for each calendar day or portion thereof, for each worker, until strict compliance is effectuated. The amount of the forfeiture is to be determined by the Labor Commissioner. A contractor who is found to have violated the provisions of law regarding wages on Public Works with the intent to defraud shall be ineligible to bid on Public Works contracts for a period of one to three years as determined by the Labor Commissioner. Upon the request of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards or the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, such penalties shall be withheld from progress payments then due. The responsibility for compliance with this section is on Contractor.
In accordance with Labor Code section 1771.4, the Contractor and each subcontractor shall furnish the certified payroll records directly to the Department of Industrial Relations (“DIR”) on a weekly basis and in the format prescribed by the DIR, which may include electronic submission.
The requirement to submit certified payroll records directly to the Labor Commissioner under Labor Code section 1771.4 shall not apply to work performed on a public works project that is exempt pursuant to the small project exemption specified in Labor Code Section 1771.4.
3.9.5 Contractor and Subcontractor Registration. Pursuant to Labor Code sections 1725.5 and 1771.1, all contractors and subcontractors that wish to bid on, be listed in a bid proposal, or enter into a contract to perform public work must be registered with the DIR. No bid will be accepted nor any contract entered into without proof of the contractor’s and subcontractors’ current registration with the DIR to perform public work. Contractor is directed to review, fill out and execute the Public Works Contractor Registration Certification attached hereto as Exhibit “E” prior to contract execution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the contractor registration requirements mandated by Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1 shall not apply to work performed on a public works project that is exempt pursuant to the small project exemption specified in Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1.
3.9.6 Labor Compliance; Stop Orders. This Project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the DIR. It shall be the Contractor’s sole responsibility to evaluate and pay the cost of complying with all labor compliance requirements under this Contract and applicable law. Any stop orders issued by the DIR against Contractor or any subcontractor that affect Contractor’s performance of Work, including any delay, shall be Contractor’s sole responsibility. Any delay arising out of or resulting from such stop orders shall be considered Contractor caused delay subject to any applicable liquidated damages and shall not be compensable by the City. Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of stop orders issued by the DIR against Contractor or any subcontractor.

ATTACHMENT A - SCOPE OF WORK
1. Scope of Work
The Scope of Work is described as follows.
2. Background
The Orange County Transportation Authority’s (OCTA) Environmental Cleanup Program (ECP) provides a two percent allocation of annual gross Measure M2 (M2) revenues to improve overall water quality in Orange County from transportation-related pollution. The ECP competitive funds can be used to implement water quality improvement projects addressing pollutants originating from or conveyed through transportation systems. These funds will assist Orange County cities and the County of Orange in meeting federal Clean Water Act standards for urban runoff through the purchase and installation of recognized structural best management practices (BMPs). Third parties such as public water and wastewater agencies, environmental advocacy organizations, and homeowners associations may also nominate projects through a municipality that is willing and able to take responsibility for carrying out and maintaining the project.
3. Description of Project
In concert with the M2 Grant Program, this Scope of Work is designed to assemble a panel of Contractors to achieve economies of scale on a list of fixed unit prices for the purchase and installation of equipment and devices designed to remove litter, debris, and other water quality pollutants, herein referred to as “Stormwater Treatment Devices.” Selected Contractors will be part of a Master Agreement with the County of Orange that will allow municipalities to select from a listing of Contractors to provide, supply, fabricate, construct, deliver, and install Stormwater Treatment Devices. Municipalities wishing to use this Contract may purchase BMPs with M2 grant monies or any other funding source.
Accordingly, the goal of this Contract is to achieve strategic savings that would benefit the County and OCTA to act as the purchasing and contract administrators for M2 grant-eligible entities. Awarded ECP entities are not obligated to utilize the selected Contractors. Rather, this process is intended to provide a mechanism for reduced rates for equipment and its installation for Orange County municipalities, including those implementing projects with M2 funding. In addition, if a local agency utilizes this Contract, a separate agreement, city council resolution, or other protocol may be necessary with the selected Contractor(s). The eligible qualifications are discussed below.
4. Eligibility Qualifications
Stormwater Treatment Devices must be capable of handling flows from a design storm of 0.2-inches/hour.
The hydrologic method to be used to calculate the flow associated with LID and water quality design storm flow is:
Frequired = C × I × A
Where Frequired = Flow capacity (cubic feet/sec); C = runoff coefficient (ranges from 0 to 1); I = 0.2 inches/hour; and A = tributary area (acres).
,#1/(&++2%),-%
County of Orange
OC Public Works
MA-080-25011708
Trash and Debris Capture Devices
File No. 2736403
Treatment devices should also be able to operate in a hydraulic surcharge condition (defined as a condition that exceeds the design discharge) without releasing stored pollutants to the receiving water. Stormwater Treatment Devices which meet this definition and would be eligible for consideration are:
A. Hydrodynamic Separation and Gross Solids Removal Devices Hydrodynamic separators are flow-through structures with a settling or separation unit to remove sediments and other pollutants and are widely used in stormwater treatment. No outside power source is required, because the energy of the flowing water allows the sediments to efficiently separate. Depending on the type of unit, this separation may be by means of centrifugal force or indirect filtration.
Gross Solids Removal Devices (either linear radial or inclined screen) are structural best management practices designed to remove trash, vegetative material, and other particles of relatively large, gross size from stormwater runoff.
B. Catch Basin Inserts
Catch basin inserts are designed to remove oil and grease, trash, debris, and sediment and improve the efficiency of catch basins. Some inserts are designed to drop directly into existing catch basins, while others may require retrofit construction. Several varieties of catch basin inserts exist for filtering runoff.
C. Automatic Retractable Screens
Automatic retractable screens are mounted inside a storm drain inlet and are designed to remain closed to capture debris during the dry season. During storm events, the screens retract, allowing heavy flows to enter the storm drain.
D. Cartridge Filter-type Control Devices
Cartridge filter–type controls typically consist of a series of vertical filters contained in a vault or catch basin that provide treatment through filtration and sedimentation.
E. Biological Treatment Devices
Bioretention devices include raingardens, swales, and filter strips; all use plants and substrate to detain and filter stormwater to reduce excessive runoff from roads and paved surfaces, and provide opportunities for enhancing natural landscape and biodiversity elements in the urban environment.
F. In-line Trash and Debris Capture Devices (Trash Booms and Trash Nets) Trash booms and nets are designed to assist in the control, containment and recovery of floating trash, debris, timber, urban waste or aquatic plants. Typically built as floating structures, these devices are designed to control pollution along the surface of the water.
G. New, Emerging, or Alternative Trash and Debris Devices Upon request, the Contractor shall submit supplemental proposals for new, emerging, or alternative trash and debris removal devices reasonably related to the categories listed within Attachment A Section 4 and to meet the intent of Attachment A Section 3. Contractor must obtain written approval from the County and/or local agency designee prior to commencing any work for these new, emerging, or alternative trash and debris removal devices, which may include but not be limited to design, fabrication, and/or installation of these devices not already included in this scope of work. Upon completion of any work related to these devices, the local agency designee and Contractor will inspect the finished product at no ,#1/(&++2%),-%

Click here to return to the agenda.
2 BACKGROUND:
In April 2021, the City of Stanton authorized and issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the contractual services of a towing company. The submittals were evaluated by Public Safety staff along with consideration of the performance record of each establishment.
As a result of the RFP process, Action Southland Towing was selected as the sole provider of towing services in the city.
On September 14, 2021, the City entered into an Agreement for Towing Services with Action Southland Enterprises, Inc., DBA Action Southland Towing. The three-year agreement which expired on September 30, 2024, provided for two optional one-year term extensions. On January 28, 2025, the City Council approved the First Amendment exercising the first of the one-year extensions, extending the term of the Agreement to September 30, 2025.
The proposed term extension will be the last year to extend the existing agreement. Staff is working on a new RFP to include the option for a backup service provider. The release of the new RFP is scheduled for Spring 2026.
ANALYSIS/JUSTIFICATION:
Action Southland Towing has been providing towing services to the City of Stanton for over 40 years. They have done so with an excellent service record and a high level of cooperation and customer service.
Based on their satisfactory service, staff is recommending a second amendment to the existing agreement to extend the term through September 30, 2026.
