Resolution No.
STOCKTON CITY COUNCIL
RESOLUTION APPROVING THE NOTICE OF EXEMPTION NO. NOE40-24, AND AWARDING A SERVICE CONTRACT FOR ON-CALL CONCRETE SAW-CUTTING AND SHAVING SERVICES, PROJECT NO. WD23004 On July 15, 2024, the City advertised a Request for Proposals (RFP) for On-Call Concrete Saw-Cutting and Shaving Services, Project No. WD23004; and Concrete sidewalks throughout the City have been lifted by tree roots to create a vertical displacement at the sidewalk joint. The Project will eliminate such displacements at approximately 350 locations throughout the City; and On August 5, 2024, two firms submitted proposals for this project. The Selection Committee evaluated the proposals and found Precision Emprise, LLC dba Precision Concrete Cutting to be the most qualified and highest ranked firm; and The project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as specified under section 15301(c) of the CEQA Guidelines, because this is a discretionary project under the City’s jurisdiction and qualifies as a project which has been determined to not have a significant effect on the environment; now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STOCKTON, AS FOLLOWS:
The City Council approves the filing of Notice of Exemption No. NOE40-24 under CEQA for On-Call Concrete Saw-Cutting and Shaving Services, Project No. WD23004, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1 and incorporated by this reference.
The City Council awards a three-year Service Contract between the City of Stockton and Precision Emprise, LLC dba Precision Concrete Cutting, in the amount not to exceed $150,000, and the City Manager is authorized and directed to execute same, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2 and incorporated by this reference.
The City Council authorizes the City Manager to execute up to two one-year extensions to this Service Contract, at an annual cost not to exceed $50,000, for a cumulative contract total not to exceed $250,000.
The City Council approves findings pursuant to Stockton Municipal Code (SMC) Section 3.68.070 in support of an exception to the competitive bidding process. These findings include:
The City does not have the internal resources to perform concrete saw-cutting and shaving services.
Concrete saw-cutting and shaving involves specialized equipment (diamond blade saw) and work that requires an experienced, qualified contractor who has successfully provided services of similar frequency and scope.
Use of the RFP process is appropriate for this Service Contract because it relies on the evaluation of professional qualifications and performance as the basis for selection of a vendor. Use of the criteria helps ensure selection of a vendor that will provide professional, responsive, and timely service which is in the public interest.
The City negotiated a contract following solicitation of competitive proposals in accordance with SMC section 3.68.070.A.3.
The City Manager is hereby authorized to take whatever actions are necessary and appropriate to carry out the purpose and intent of this Resolution.
PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED November 12, 2024 .
