Two proposals were received; and The City is responsible for the operation and maintenance of approximately 19,800 streetlights. The project will repair and replace 142 non-functional streetlights at 88 locations Citywide; and After review of the proposals, it was determined St. Francis Electric, In. has the necessary knowledge, experience and staff to perform the required work. Staff negotiated a fee in the amount of $400,000 with St. Francis Electric, LLC for the Repair of Street Lights Out, Project No. WD25047; 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; and Transfer of funds in needed to fund all remaining costs to complete the Light Up Stockton project, and any additional fees, and staff costs; now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STOCKTON, AS FOLLOWS:
