AUTHORIZE THE CITY ATTORNEY TO EXECUTE AGREEMENTS WITH BOND AND
DISCLOSURE COUNSEL FIRMS TO ESTABLISH A POOL FOR THE ISSUANCE OF MUNICIPAL DEBT
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve a resolution authorizing the City Attorney to execute agreements with seven bond and disclosure counsel firms to establish a vendor pool to issue bonds and other municipal debt instruments for the financing of capital facilities and infrastructure and the refinancing of existing debt issuances.
It is also recommended that the resolution authorize the City Attorney to take appropriate and necessary actions to carry out the purpose and intent of the motion.
Summary
The City, on an as-needed basis, issues debt to finance the construction of capital facilities and infrastructure, and to refinance existing debt when it is advantageous to do so. The frequency varies from year to year; however, the City typically will issue debt or refinance existing debt from two to five times per year, depending on development and potential refunding opportunities. These issuances typically include capital leases, lease-revenue bonds, certificates of participation, revenue bonds, and land-secured debt (1913/15 Act assessment bonds, Mello-Roos or Marks-Roos bonds).
Entering into agreements with the seven (7) selected bond and disclosure counsel firms will create a pool of pre-qualified firms that can provide legal services to support City debt issuances (Attachments A through G).
DISCUSSION
Background
To support its debt issuances, the City periodically establishes a pool of bond and disclosure counsel firms. The City requires professional legal services to ensure the format and content of legal documents used in the issuance of debt comply with regulatory requirements and needs to be certain that it is issuing debt at the lowest cost. By establishing a pool, the City can react quickly to financing needs based on favorable market conditions to finance projects and refinance existing debt.
The City’s most recent bond and disclosure counsel pool was established May 15, 2018, via Council Resolution 2018-05-15-1102 which authorized the execution of agreements with bond and disclosure counsels for the issuance of municipal debt.

Present Situation
On September 25, 2023, the City released a Request for Statement Of Qualifications (RSOQ) for bond and disclosure counsel services. The City sought qualified bond and disclosure counsel firms with the ability to:
· Provide high-quality legal services for issuing debt to construct capital facilities and infrastructure, refinancing existing debt, and the formation of special taxing and assessment districts.
· Take the lead in the development of a myriad of legal documents necessary in the process of issuing debt and in the formation of a district.
· Assist and advise the City as to the most cost-effective legal plan for the debt that is being considered and recommend innovative alternatives.
The City received responses from seven interested bond and disclosure counsel firms, and all seven firms met the minimum qualifications. After careful review of each firm’s capabilities and ability to meet the City’s financing needs, the City’s selection committee recommended the City enter into agreements with seven of the firms that submitted proposals:
· Jones Hall
· Hawkins Delafield & Wood
· Orrick, Herrington, and Sutcliffe
· Norton Rose Fullbright US
· Arent Fox Schiff
· Richards Watson & Gershon
· Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth
The seven firms selected to establish the City’s bond and disclosure counsel pool can provide services for all types of financing the City may pursue. With the establishment of this pool, the City will have a diverse group of highly qualified legal firms available to help support City debt issuances and refundings. All agreements are for an initial term of five years, and as extended by the City Attorney thereafter.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
Except for district formations, which the City pays from funds placed on deposit for this purpose by developers, all bond and disclosure counsel fees are paid from bond proceeds and are contingent upon the successful closing of bond transactions. Staff will negotiate fees for bond and disclosure counsel services on a per transaction basis, in accordance with the provisions of the City’s Land- Based and Capital Financing Policy, and Debt Management Policy.

General liability coverage can be provided in the form of an endorsement to the Contractor’s insurance (at least as broad as ISO Form CG 20 10 11 85 or if not available, through the addition of both CG 20 10, CG 20 26, CG 20 33, or CG 20 38; and CG 20 37 if a later edition is used).

Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by the City of Stockton, its officers, officials, employees, or volunteers shall be excess of the Contractor’s insurance and shall not contribute with it. This requirement shall also apply to any Excess or Umbrella liability policies. The City of Stockton does not accept endorsements limiting the Contractor’s insurance coverage to the sole negligence of the Named Insured.
Umbrella or Excess Policy
The Contractor may use Umbrella or Excess Policies to provide the liability limits as required in this agreement. This form of insurance will be acceptable provided that all of the Primary and Umbrella or Excess Policies shall provide all of the insurance coverages herein required, including, but not limited to, primary and non-contributory, additional insured, Self-Insured Retentions (SIRs), indemnity, and defense requirements.

Policies shall NOT contain any self-insured retention (SIR) provision that limits the satisfaction of the SIR to the Named.

ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING CONTRACT AMENDMENT NO. 4 WITH SNF POLYDYNE, INC. FOR THE PURCHASE OF WASTEWATER TREATMENT POLYMER
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution to:
1. Approve findings pursuant to Stockton Municipal Code Section 3.68.070 in support of an exception to the competitive bidding process.
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute a two (2) year contract extension with SNF Polydyne, Inc. for a not-to-exceed amount of $6,386,500.
It is also recommended that the City Manager be authorized to take appropriate and necessary actions to carry out the purpose and intent of this resolution.
Summary
On May 12, 2020, the City Council authorized a five (5) year contract with SNF Polydyne, Inc. (Polydyne) by Motion No. 2020-05-12-1107 for the purchase of two polymers for the Municipal Utilities Department (MUD) Wastewater Operations Division. The total price for the five-year contract was $1,650,000. Subsequent Amendments No. 1 through No. 3 approved unit cost changes and added a new polymer product for use with a newly installed centrifuge as part of the RWCF Plant Modifications Project. The contract total price remains at $1,650,000.
If approved by Council, this action will authorize Amendment No. 4 to the contract with SNF Polydyne, Inc. extending it for two additional years through June 30, 2027, and increasing the not-to- exceed amount to $6,386,500.
DISCUSSION
Background
The Regional Wastewater Control Facility (RWCF) uses various polymer chemicals as coagulants that thicken solids in wastewater to make it easier to separate and remove during the treatment process. The type, quantity, and dosing rate of polymer used in the wastewater treatment process is determined by the characteristics of the type of wastewater being treated. A product that works for one treatment plant may not work for another due to the varying nature of wastewater and the need to meet specific treatment criteria.

On May 12, 2020, the Council authorized a five (5) year contract with SNF Polydyne, Inc. (Polydyne) by Motion No. 2020-05-12-1107 for the purchase of two polymers for the Municipal Utilities Department’s (MUD’s) Wastewater Operations Division. The total price for the five-year contract was $1,650,000. The contract is set to expire on June 30, 2025. Amendments No. 1 and 2 approved unit cost changes in 2022 and 2023. In December 2023, Contract Amendment No. 3 was executed to add the polymer for use with the new centrifuge to the contract at a cost of $1.850 per pound. The contract not-to-exceed price remained at $1,650,000.
Present Situation
In September 2023, the Regional Wastewater Control Facility (RWCF) Plant Modifications Project began testing various polymers for use at the new centrifuge dewatering area. Preliminary testing determined that the Polydyne WE-2398 product would work with the new system and the type of wastewater treated at the RWCF to improve dewatering performance. Additional product testing confirmed the preliminary results.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve a resolution authorizing Contract Amendment No. 4 with SNF Polydyne, Inc. to extend the contract for two additional years through June 30, 2027, and increase the not-to-exceed amount to $6,386,500. A summary of the pricing is below Polymer Price $/lb Estimated* Annual
Use, Tons
Total
NW-127 (BFP) $0.227 455 $1,655,500.00
WE-906 (GBT) $1.318 20 $273,700.00
WE-2398 (Centrifuge) $1.850 300 $4,457,300.00
Total $6,386,500.00
Note: contract approved increases are included in the total amount shown.
Findings
Pursuant to Stockton Municipal Code Section 3.68.070, Council may approve findings that support an exception to the competitive bidding process. Proposed findings to support this purchase are:
1. All wastewater streams are unique and require performance testing to determine the specific product that will achieve desired treatment results.
2. Performance-based testing is a lengthy process to allow full evaluation of product viability for long-term use.
3. Performance-based testing was performed as part of the RWCF Plant Modifications Project, resulting in a specific polymer product recommendation for use with the newly constructed centrifuge dewatering system.

File #: 24-0091, Version: 1
4. SNF Polydyne has provided consistent product and service to the City throughout the contract period.
5. It is in the City’s best interest to extend the current contract for an additional two (2) years while construction of the RWCF Plant Modifications project is completed and all processes are online and operating as designed.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
There is sufficient budget in Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24. Future annual purchases will be budgeted in the same account and be presented to the Council for approval during the annual budget process.
There is no impact to the General Fund, or any other restricted fund, as a result of taking the recommended action.

AWARD A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO SAK CONSTRUCTION LLC FOR THE BROOKSIDE
SOUTH STORMWATER PUMP STATION DISCHARGE PIPE REHABILITATION
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution to:
1. Approve the filing of Notice of Exemption No. NOE 31-23 under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the Brookside South Storm Pump Station Discharge Pipes Rehabilitation, Project No. US24006 (Exhibit 1 to the Resolution).
2. Approve the project Plans and Specifications for the Brookside South Storm Pump Station Discharge Pipes Rehabilitation, Project No. US24006.
3. Award a construction contract of $153,555 to SAK Construction LLC, of O’Fallon, MO, for the Brookside South Storm Pump Station Discharge Pipes Rehabilitation, Project No. US24006 (Exhibit 2 to the Resolution).
It is also recommended that the City Manager be authorized to take appropriate and necessary actions to carry out the purpose and intent of this resolution.
Summary
The Municipal Utilities Department (MUD) operates the Brookside South Storm Pump Station located at 2921 Brookside Road. The pump station collects stormwater from the south Brookside neighborhood and discharges the water through the levee into the Calaveras River with three (3) 18- inch and one (1) 10-inch steel pipelines. The MUD is responsible for stormwater station service and repairs while Reclamation District 2074 is responsible for monitoring and maintaining the Brookside levee. An inspection found water leaking from cracks in at least two (2) of the stormwater discharge pipes.
This action will provide project funding to SAK Construction LLC, of O’Fallon, MO, to repair the damaged stormwater discharge pipes at the Brookside South Storm Pump Station with a cured-in- place-pipe (CIPP) lining. If approved by the City Council, this action will authorize the award of a construction contract in the amount of $153,555 to SAK Construction LLC.
DISCUSSION
Background
An inspection revealed cracks in at least two discharge pipes between the stormwater station pumps and landside slope of the levee. The project will repair the pipeline cracks with the installation of CIPP in three discharge pipes measuring 18-inches and one discharge pipe measuring 10-inches. The use City of Stockton Printed on 3/7/2024Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™
165
File #: 24-0102, Version: 1
of CIPP is a common method of trenchless rehabilitation and restoration used to repair pipelines throughout the US. The process will consist of inserting a resin-impregnated flexible tube through the damaged pipe, then inflating the tube to the inside diameter of the pipe using water or air and curing the tube using hot water or steam. During the curing period, the heat activates the resin causing it to harden, creating a newly fitted pipe wall within the original pipe that will last many years. The successful use of trenchless repair will reduce project costs and avoid complex levee excavation, removing the damaged pipe and re-installing a new pipe section.
Present Situation
On October 5, 2023, the MUD advertised the project in the Stockton Record and posted it to the City’s Bid Flash webpage. Additionally, notifications were sent through Ask Stockton. A non- mandatory pre-bid conference meeting was held on October 26, 2023, with two (2) prospective bidders in attendance. A field visit was conducted after the pre-bid conference. On Thursday, November 9, 2023, three (3) sealed bids were received and publicly opened by the City Clerk with the following results:
COMPANY NAME LOCATION BID PRICE
SAK Construction, LLC O’Fallon, MO $153,555
Insituform Technologies, LLC Chesterfield, MO $197,460
California Trenchless, Inc. Hayward, CA $320,650
Engineer’s Estimate $228,500
The bid received by SAK Construction LLC is regular in all aspects and complies with the project specifications.
Staff recommends that the City Council award a Construction Contract in the amount of $153,555 to SAK Construction LLC for the Brookside South Storm Pump Station Discharge Pipes Rehabilitation, Project No. US24006.
Local Employment Ordinance
The contract amount is over $100,000 and subject to the Local Employment Ordinance, which requires that “all City contracts for public works or improvements of the estimated value or City subsidy of $100,000 or more shall contain provisions pursuant to which the contractor promises to make a good faith effort, with the assistance of local labor union hiring halls or community organizations designated by the City to employ qualified individuals who are, and have been for one year prior to the effective date of the contract, residents of Stockton in sufficient numbers so that no less than 50 percent of the contractor’s total construction workforce, including any subcontractor workforce, measured in labor work hours, is comprised of Stockton residents.” The Local Preference Ordinance, which states that “preference shall be given to the purchase of supplies, materials, equipment, and contractual services from local merchants, quality and price being equal,” does not apply to the project because none of the bidders are located within the limits of City of Stockton or San Joaquin County.

File #: 24-0102, Version: 1
The project is under $1,000,000 and not subject to the Community Workforce and Training Agreement.
Environmental Clearance
It has been determined that this project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines as specified under Article 19, Section 15302, Class 2 (c) of the CEQA guidelines because it concerns the replacement or reconstruction of an existing public facility where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced. The project will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced.
In addition, the proposed project is consistent with the Envision Stockton 2040 General Plan, Land Use Policy 6.3. It improves existing utility services to ensure that all neighborhoods have access to well-maintained public facilities and utilities that meet community service needs.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
There are sufficient funds available in the Stormwater CIP account to award the Construction Contract in the amount of $153,555 to SAK Construction LLC of O’Fallon, MO, for the Brookside South Storm Pump Station Discharge Pipes Rehabilitation, Project No. US24006.
There is no impact on the City’s General Fund or any other unrestricted fund as a result of taking the recommended action.

ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE A CONTRACT AMENDMENT WITH SWIFTCOMPLY
FOR A STORMWATER MODULE SOFTWARE LICENSE
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution to authorize an amendment to the five- year contract with SwiftComply of Pleasanton, California (Exhibit 1 to the Resolution) to incorporate a stormwater module into the Environmental Control Enforcement Software for a total amount not-to- exceed $384,640.
It is also recommended that the City Manager be authorized to take necessary and appropriate actions to carry out the purpose and intent of this resolution.
Summary
The Municipal Utilities Department (MUD) Stormwater Division is responsible for complying with the City's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, which requires comprehensive monitoring and public outreach to manage and mitigate the release of pollutants from the municipal storm drain system into local waterways. The MUD Stormwater Division uses commercially licensed software for stormwater management and tracking of NPDES compliance.
The MUD Environmental Control Division currently maintains a contract with SwiftComply for the management and tracking of environmental control enforcement and compliance. Approval of Contract Amendment No. 1 will add the stormwater software module and provide MUD with the ability to upgrade and improve documentation, reporting, and the management of enforcement compliance data.
If approved by the City Council, this action will add the stormwater software module and licensing to the existing SwiftComply software to improve automation and ensure the City’s compliance with various regulatory requirements. The amendment increases the total contract to $384,640 over the five-year term.
DISCUSSION
Background
On July 11, 2023, the City Council approved Resolution 2023-07-11-1206 authorizing a five-year contract with SwiftComply of Pleasanton, California for cloud-based software at a total cost not-to- exceed $229,683 (Attachment A).

File #: 24-0104, Version: 1
Following staff evaluation of the SwiftComply stormwater module capability, staff determined that the integration of SwiftComply stormwater module into the current software infrastructure would be beneficial to meet various regulatory compliance requirements and increase efficiencies when tracking essential inspection tasks and NPDES permit deadlines.
Present Situation
The MUD Stormwater Division currently licenses FileMaker Pro for stormwater management and tracking of NPDES compliance. FileMaker Pro is inefficient and does not provide technical support to effectively automate the necessary regulatory compliance requirements.
The SwiftComply cloud-based software offers the flexibility to add a stormwater software module, which will improve the necessary automation for efficient management of inspections, compliance with the NPDES permit, and meet the requirements of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The additional cost to integrate the stormwater module into the existing contract is $154,957. This includes setup, data migration, system configuration, user training, and a five-year subscription.

Training
Included in Year 1 pricing
Total Cost $154,957.00
Staff recommends approving Contract Amendment No. 1 to the current SwiftComply contract with a total not-to-exceed amount of $384,640 for the additional stormwater module.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
The 2023-24 Fiscal Year Annual Budget includes sufficient budget in the Stormwater Administration Software account for the proposed cost for the software. Costs for the subsequent years will be budgeted in the same account, subject to Council approval, during the annual budget development process.
There is no impact to the General Fund, or any other unrestricted fund, from this action.

1.0 BACKGROUND/SUMMARY
The City of Stockton is a Charter City incorporated in 1850. The City is the county seat of San Joaquin County and is located in California's San Joaquin Valley, 78 miles east of the San Francisco Bay Area, 337 miles north of Los Angeles and 40 miles south of Sacramento. The County is bound by Sacramento County to the north and Stanislaus County to the south. Approximately 310,000 residents live in Stockton.
The Stockton Municipal Utilities Department (MUD) manages, operates, and maintains three utility enterprises: Water, Wastewater and Stormwater. Within the Wastewater Utility is the Environmental Control Division.
The Environmental Control Division is tasked with the responsibility of:
• Protecting the wastewater treatment plant and its biological processes from interference, pass through and sludge contamination.
• Protecting collection system workers and treatment plant personnel from exposure to dangerous chemicals and hazardous conditions in the sewer system. • Protecting the collection system and treatment plant from damage due to discharges which may be hazardous, corrosive, explosive, etc.
• Ensuring the wastewater discharges of categorical industrial users and significant industrial users comply with federal, state, and local regulations.
Categorical users include metal finishers, iron and steel manufacturers, paper and paperboard manufacturers, chemical manufacturers, etc. In addition to categorical users, large industrial dischargers with 25,000 gallons per day or more of wastewater flow and/or significant loadings of total suspended solids (TSS) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) are regulated through a Significant Industrial User (SIU) permit system. The permits specify conditions for the acceptance of wastewater in the sanitary sewer system, including limits for pollutant concentrations and total wastewater flow. Permit violations are subject to fines and penalties, including the possibility of termination of sewer service. The Environmental Control Section currently maintains approximately 48 Significant Industrial User Permits.
In addition to SIU permits, other smaller industrial users are regulated under Special Permits. Many of these Special Permits may be issued for infrequent discharges or because of potential concerns, such as a growing industry that may become significant or because of the materials processed by the industry.
Currently, 12 Special Permits are maintained in the Section.
The Environmental Control Division regulates truck hauled wastewater through both permits and a manifest system which requires documentation of the source and type of hauled wastewater. There are currently 11 haulers of wastewater, some with multiple trucks, which are permitted to discharge at the Wastewater Treatment Facility.
The Environmental Control Division staff conduct inspections, take samples of wastewater, review self monitoring reports, write permits, and enforce permit requirements as specified in Stockton Municipal Code, Chapter 13.08 (Pretreatment Ordinance). The Environmental Control annually conducts approximately 360 inspections, performs 300 sampling events, implements 80 enforcement actions, reviews 500 self-monitoring reports and tracks 2,400 manifests for hauled wastewater. 1 Contract for Enforcement Software

The Environmental Control Division has developed and is implementing the Dental Amalgam Program. In 2017, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) enacted pretreatment standards to reduce discharges of dental amalgam containing mercury and other metals from dental offices into the sewer systems of publicly owned treatment works. This includes approximately 150 dental facilities in the City of Stockton area that discharge wastewater to the City of Stockton's sanitary sewer system. The Dental Office Category regulation is contained in the EPA Effluent Guidelines, 40 CFR Part 441, and requires dental offices to use amalgam separators and best management practices recommended by the American Dental Association.
The Environmental Control Division is also tasked with implementing the Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG) Control Program. This program involves inspecting 700+ Food Service Establishments (FSEs) to ensure compliance with Stockton Municipal Code Chapter 13.40 (FOG Control Ordinance). Discharges from FSEs are potential sources for grease related sanitary sewer blockages and overflows in the sewer collection system. FSEs include restaurants, retail markets, institutions, schools, licensed health care facilities, city owned facilities, flea markets and commissaries. Currently, there are approximately 700 FSEs identified within the City's regional wastewater service area, of which approximately 400 have approved grease interceptors.
2.0 SCOPE OF SERVICES

E - Operations and Maintenance
When the system is live, a dedicated customer success manager (CSM) is assigned. Your success manager works as an extension of your team, analyzing your underlying data to provide tailored advice and help you optimize and innovate. Your CSM will be on hand to help you work through the program lifecycle. They will also empower you to track and measure your progress against your program objectives. CSM documents your successes and shares your feedback with our product development team. Your success manager will be in touch to review your performance and system usage periodically, with at least a quarterly business review. During those reviews, we look at past performance and KPIs attainment, adjust KPIs to meet the City’s operational and business goals; as well as share the updated 3-6-12 months roadmap. We expect to have at least a City representative from operations, IT and contract.
For our Software Development and Maintenance methodology, Modi fied Agile would be the best
description, with continuous delivery. Applications are scanned regularly with OWASP’s ZAP to detect potential weaknesses. These are recorded and investigated to verify if we are in fact susceptible or if it is a false positive. We review new software updates and system libraries once a month to determine what is needed to be updated and when. We prefer to err on the side of caution with most patches, where unless they
fix an exploitable vulnerability, we give the patch time to be applied by others to assess its potential issues. At least monthly or ad hoc when new severe vulnerabilities are discovered.

DISCUSSION
Background
The Public Works Department utilizes cameras to monitor and adjust signal timing throughout the City’s traffic signal network. Additionally, the Police Department utilizes the City’s traffic cameras in strategic locations for monitoring safety and security. Public Works’ staff have evaluated the 354 traffic cameras in use and identified 190 cameras in need of immediate replacement (Attachment A).
On September 14, 2021, by Motion No. 2021-09-14-1501, the Digital Camera Replacement, Project No. WARP506, was approved by Council as an American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) project.
On March 21, 2023, a Request for Bids for the purchase of 190 Bosch IP cameras and hardware was published. On August 22, 2023, by Motion No. 2023-08-22-1224, Council approved the purchase of 190 Bosch IP cameras and hardware from AZCO Supply, Inc. for this project.
Present Situation
On July 21, 2023, the City advertised an RFP for the Bosch PTZ Camera and Communication Equipment Installation, Project No. PUR-23-032 (Digital Camera Replacement, Project No.
WARP506). On August 31, 2023, three proposals were received from the following firms:
· 3D Technology (Rancho Cordova, CA)
· Convergint (Ojo Technology, Inc.) (Stockton, CA)
· Paladin Technology (Hayward, CA)
Ojo Technology, Inc. submitted a proposal for the Digital Camera Replacement project. On August 1, 2022, Convergint Technology LLC (Convergint) acquired Ojo Technology, Inc. On January 1, 2024, Ojo Technology, Inc. formally merged into Convergint. Ojo Technology, Inc. managers and staff are unchanged. The project proposal costs will remain, and any contractual obligations will be honored by Convergint as originally intended by Ojo Technology, Inc. (Attachment B).
The Selection Committee evaluated and ranked all proposals based on each firm’s understanding of work, experience with similar kinds of projects, staff qualifications, technical ability, and project approach and found Convergint (Ojo Technology, Inc.) to be the most qualified and highest ranked bidder. Staff negotiated a fee of $512,365.94 for the installation of 190 cameras.
It is recommended that Council award a Construction Contract to the highest ranked respondent, Convergint, in the amount of $512,365.94. It is also recommended that Council adopt a resolution approving Notice of Exemption No. NOE52-23 under CEQA and approving the details and specifications for the project.

No. NOE52-23 under CEQA. Construction is anticipated to be completed by August 2024.
On July 26, 2016, Council adopted a Community Workforce and Training Agreement (CWTA). The CWTA became effective August 25, 2016, and applies to all Public Works projects over $1 million that are bid after that date. On July 16, 2019, by Motion No. 2019-07-16-1403, Council extended the CWTA term to August 25, 2024. The CWTA was not applied to this project as the contract value is below $1 million.
Findings
Pursuant to Stockton Municipal Code (SMC) section 3.68.070, Council may approve findings which support an exception to the competitive bidding process. These findings include:
1. The City does not have sufficient staff available to complete the installation for this project.
2. The scope of work requires a company experienced in camera installation and configuration.
3. Use of the RFP process is appropriate for this Construction Contract because the project requires specialty work. Since specialty work is required to be performed in strict compliance with City standards, vendor procurement relies on a criteria for the evaluation of professional qualifications and performance as the basis for selection. Use of the criteria helps ensure selection of a vendor that will provide the highest quality professional service, which is in the public interest.
4. The City negotiated a contract following the solicitation of competitive proposals in accordance with SMC section 3.68.070.A.3.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
There are sufficient funds available in the Digital Camera Replacement, Project No. WARP506, Account No. 0010-0156-800007-280-282-30-000-000-000, to award a Construction Contract to Convergint Technology LLC of Stockton, CA, in the amount of $512,365.94.
There is no impact to the City’s General Fund or any other unrestricted fund as a result of taking the recommended action.
