Resolution No.
STOCKTON CITY COUNCIL
RESOLUTION AWARDING AN ENGINEERING SERVICES CONTRACT TO SCHAAF & WHEELER CONSULTING CIVIL ENGINEERS FOR THE DESIGN OF THE LINCOLN STREET PUMP STATION AND FORCE MAIN PROJECT (UW24005) The 2022 Wastewater Master Plan Update recommended the City construct a new sanitary sewer pump station and force main facilities along Lincoln Street to address critical deficiencies in the City's Downtown Core District's sanitary sewer collection system; and On September 3, 2023, the MUD advertised a Request for Proposals for the Lincoln Street Pump Station and Force Main Project design services. On February 15, 2024, three (3) proposals were received. The selection committee evaluated the proposals and found Schaaf & Wheeler Consulting Civil Engineers of Santa Clara, CA, to be the most qualified firm to perform the scope of work for the pump station and force main design; now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STOCKTON, AS FOLLOWS:
Approve findings pursuant to Stockton Municipal Code section 3.68.070 in support of an exception to the competitive bidding process. These findings include:
The City does not have sufficient staff capabilities and expertise to design the project for bidding and construction.
The scope of services requires an engineering firm experienced in pump station and sanitary sewer force main design.
The use of the RFP process is appropriate for this Professional Engineering Services Contract because it relies on the evaluation of professional qualifications and performance as the basis for the selection of a vendor.
Using the RFP criteria helps ensure the selection of a vendor that will provide the highest quality professional service, which is in the public interest.
Award a Professional Engineering Services Contract in the amount of $853,250 to Schaaf & Wheeler Consulting Civil Engineers of Santa Clara, CA, for the design of the Lincoln Street Pump Station and Force Main Project, UW24005, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1 and incorporated by this reference.
The City Manager or designee is hereby authorized and directed to execute all documents, including, but not limited to, agreements and amendments.
The City Manager is hereby authorized to take the appropriate and necessary actions to carry out the purpose and intent of this Resolution.
PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED June 18, 2024 .
