Resolution No.
STOCKTON CITY COUNCIL
RESOLUTION APPROVING THE NOTICE OF EXEMPTION NO NOE 19-25, AND AWARDING A SERVICE CONTRACT FOR ON-CALL GUARDRAIL REPAIR, PROJECT NO. OM-24-118 On February 6, 2025, the City advertised a Request for Proposals (RFP) to contract with a state-licensed contractor to provide Citywide on-call guardrail repair services for the On-Call Guardrail Repair, Project No. OM-24-118; and The City encounters numerous damaged guardrails and crash cushions with varying severity due to vehicular accidents. This project will repair damaged guardrail sections, posts, terminals, and crash cushion systems at various locations throughout the City; and On March 5, 2025, one proposal was received for this project. The Selection Committee evaluated the sole proposal and found Midstate Barrier, Inc., of Stockton, CA, to be the most qualified and has the proper license to perform the work; and The project is categorically exempt from the the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as specified under section 15301(c) of the CEQA Guidelines, because this is a sicretionary 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. NOE 19-25 under CEQA for On-Call Guardrail Repair, Project No. OM-24-118, 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 Midstate Barrier, Inc. in the amount of $600,000, and the City Manager is authorized and directed to execute the 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 $200,000, for a cumulative contract total not to exceed $1,000,000.
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 internal resources to perform guardrail and crash cushion repair services.
Guardrail Repair involves specialized equipment and work that requires an experienced, qualified contractor who has successfully provided services similar in frequency and scope.
Use of the RFP process is appropriate for this Contract for Services because it relies on the evaluation of professional qualifications and performance as the basis for selection of a vendor. Use of these 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 May 13, 2025 .
