RESOLUTION APPROVING FINDINGS TO RATIFY FINAL EXPENSES FOR THE RENTAL OF TEMPORARY PUMPING SERVICES AT 14-MILE SANITARY SEWER PUMP STATION On June 9, 2023, the 14-Mile Sanitary Sewer Pump Station experienced a pumping equipment failure resulting in the inability to maintain safe operations and normal pumping capacity to the Regional Wastewater Control Facility (RWCF). The pump station is a major sanitary pumping station that provides service to northwest Stockton; and On June 13, 2023, the City Manager approved the Municipal Utilities Department request for emergency procurement authorization to rent emergency wastewater pumping equipment to continue safe operations at the 14-Mile Sanitary Sewer Pump Station in accordance with Stockton Municipal Code Section 3.68.070 and the City Manager Emergency Contract and Procurement Policy (17.05.150); and By December 4, 2024, normal operations at 14-Mile Sanitary Sewer Pump Station had resumed, and in accordance with the City Manager Emergency Contract and Procurement Policy 60-day rule, all financial transactions with Rain4Rent were complete; now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STOCKTON, AS FOLLOWS:
The City Council approves the following findings pursuant to Stockton Municipal Code Section 3.68.070 to justify and support an exception to the competitive bidding process:
The wastewater pumping equipment breakdown at 14-Mile Sanitary Pump Station posed a threat to public health, safety and the environment.
Emergency wastewater pumping equipment was necessary to resume normal and safe operations at the 14-Mile Sanitary Pump Station.
Rain4Rent was a responsive contractor that was available and capable of providing the necessary equipment that met all required specifications at the lowest monthly rate, which was in the best interest of the public.
By December 4, 2024, normal operations had resumed at the 14-Mile Sanitary Pump Station following procurement and installation of new sanitary sewer pumps.
The City Council ratifies final expenses in the amount of $835,534.88 to Western Oil Field Supply Company of Bakersfield, California, doing business as Rain4Rent, for all costs related to the rental of emergency wastewater pumping equipment to mitigate a breakdown in pumping capacity at the 14-Mile Sanitary Sewer Pump Station.
