STOCKTON CITY COUNCIL
RESOLUTION APPROPRIATING AND TRANSFERRING FUNDING, AWARDING A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT FOR THE SYSTEMIC PEDESTRIAN SAFETY ENHANCEMENTS, PROJECT NO. WT23041/FEDERAL PROJECT NO. HSIPL-5008(209) On June 26, 2024, the City advertised a Request for Proposals (RFP) for design services for the Systemic Pedestrian Safety Enhancements, Project No. WT23041/Federal Project No. HSIPL-5008(209). Two proposals were received; and W-Trans was the more qualified and higher-ranked firm and was determined to be the most qualified firm for this project. Staff negotiated a fee in the amount of $308,586.24 with W-Trans for design services; and In November 2023, the Systemic Pedestrian Safety Enhancements, Project No. WT23041/Federal Project No. HSIPL-5008(209), was awarded federal Cycle 11 Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funding from Caltrans for design services. This project is 90 percent federally funded and requires a local match in the amount of $51,260.00; and Appropriation and transfer of funds is needed to fund all remaining costs to complete the design services and staff costs; now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STOCKTON, AS FOLLOWS:
The City Council approves the appropriation of HSIP funds in the amount of $461,340.00 to the Systemic Pedestrian Safety Enhancements, Project No. WT23041/Federal Project No. HSIPL-5008(209).
The City Council approves the transfer of funds in the amount of $51,260.00 from Grant Match, Project No. WT21016, to the Systemic Pedestrian Safety Enhancements, Project No. WT23041/Federal Project No. HSIPL-5008(209).
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:
A. The City does not have sufficient staff and expertise to design this project.
B. Use of the RFP process is appropriate for this Professional Services 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 the highest quality professional service, which is in the public interest.
C. The City negotiated a contract following solicitation of competitive proposals in accordance with SMC Section 3.68.070.A.3.
The City Council awards a Professional Services Contract between the City of Stockton and W-Trans, in the amount of $308,586.24, and the City Manager is authorized and directed to execute same, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1 and incorporated by this reference.
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 April 1, 2025 .
