WT25041 On February 14, 2025, the City advertised a Request for Proposals (RFP) for professional engineering services for the Citywide Streetlight Assessment, Project No. WT25041. Three proposals were received; and The Citywide Streetlight Assessment, Project No. WT25041, is Phase 2 of the Light Up Stockton, Project No. WD25046 (Attachment A) and will produce a Citywide photometric study identifying areas where potential lighting upgrades, new services, or solar options are recommended.

The City Council approves the transfer of funds in the amount of $25,000 from the Repair Streetlights Out, Project No. WD25047, to the Citywide Streetlight Assessment, Project No. WT25041.
The City Council awards a Professional Services Contract between the City of Stockton and Evari Consulting, Inc., in the amount of $249,976, 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 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 sufficient expertise or staff resources to complete the assessment.
The scope of design services requires an engineering firm experienced in the design of roundabouts.

Use of the criteria helps ensure selection of a vendor that will provide the highest quality professional 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.
