Resolution No.
STOCKTON CITY COUNCIL
RESOLUTION APPROVING FINDINGS AND AWARDING AN ENGINEERING SERVICES CONTRACT FOR $183,124.00 TO CAROLLO ENGINEERS, INC. FOR THE WESTSIDE SEWER INTERCEPTOR CONDITION ASSESSMENT (UW20018)
The approved 2022 Wastewater Master Plan Update recommends that the City complete an assessment of the condition of sanitary sewer force mains citywide to identify deficiencies, improve reliability, and reduce operating costs; and
On December 6, 2024, MUD staff advertised a Request for Proposals (RFP) for condition assessment services for the Westside Sewer Interceptor force main pipeline.
Two firms submitted proposals for this project. A selection committee evaluated the proposals and found Carollo Engineers, Inc. to be the most qualified to provide the requested services; and
City staff negotiated a fee of $183,124 for the Professional Engineering Services contract with Carollo Engineers, Inc. of Sacramento, CA for the condition assessment of the Westside Sewer Interceptor; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STOCKTON, AS FOLLOWS:
1. The City Council approved the following findings pursuant to Stockton Municipal Code section 3.68.070 to support and justify an exception to the competitive bidding process:
a. 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.
b. The scope of services requires an engineering firm experienced in performing condition assessments of closed sanitary sewer force mains.
c. The City does not have the technical expertise to perform a condition assessment of the Westside Sewer Interceptor in a timely and cost-effective manner.
d. It is in the public interest to assess the condition of the sanitary sewer force mains citywide to identify deficiencies, improve reliability and reduce operating costs.
2. A Professional Engineering Services Contract with Carollo Engineers, Inc. of Sacramento, CA, in the amount of $183,124 to perform a condition assessment of the Westside Sewer Interceptor is hereby approved, and the City Manager is authorized and directed to execute same, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1 and incorporated by the reference.
3. The City Manager or designee is hereby authorized to take appropriate and necessary actions to carry out the purpose and intent of this Resolution.
PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED July 15, 2025 .
