STOCKTON CITY COUNCIL
RESOLUTION APPROVING THE NOTICE OF EXEMPTION NO. NOE09-25, AND AWARDING A SERVICE CONTRACT FOR THE ON-CALL STREETLIGHT FOUNDATION REPAIRS, PROJECT NO. OM-25-077 On January 22, 2025, the City advertised a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the On-Call Streetlight Foundation Repairs, Project No. OM-25-077; and The project will provide repairs to streetlights and traffic signal cabinet foundations damaged by vehicles throughout the City; and On February 12, 2025, four firms submitted proposals for this project. The Selection Committee evaluated the proposals and found St. Francis Electric, LLC 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. NOE09-25 under the CEQA for the On-Call Streetlight Foundation Repairs, Project No. OM-25-077, 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 St. Francis Electric, LLC, in the amount not to exceed $450,000, 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 $150,000, for a cumulative contract total not to exceed $750,000.
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 foundation repairs services.
Foundation repairs involve specialized equipment 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 April 15, 2025 .
