Resolution No.
STOCKTON CITY COUNCIL
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS, NOTICE OF EXEMPTION NO. NOE30-25, AND AWARDING A STANDARD AGREEMENT FOR THE GENERATOR INSTALLATION, PROJECT NO. OM-25-108 On August 6, 2025, the City re-advertised a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Generator Installation, Project No. OM-25-108. Two proposals were received; and Community Centers, Fire Stations, Emergency Communications Dispatch, and the Main Police Department Operations Building require uninterrupted power to maintain essential services during emergencies. The project will ensure a seamless transition to backup power during outages, allowing these facilities to operate without interruption; and Collin’s Electrical Company, Inc. was determined to be the most qualified and highest ranked firm for this project. Staff negotiated a fee in the amount of $2,954,535 with Collin’s Electrical Company, Inc. for the Generator Installation, Project No. OM-25-108; and Appropriation of funds is needed in the amount of $2,954,535; and The project is in conformance with the City’s General Plan, pursuant to California Government Code, section 65402, and is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as specified under section 15303 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 appropriation of funds in the amount of $2,954,535 from the Fleet Internal Service Fund Balance to the operating Fleet Internal Service Fund, Special Services Account.
The City Council approves the filing of Notice of Exemption No. NOE30-25 under the CEQA for the Generator Installation, Project No. OM-25-108, a copy 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 exemption to the competitive bidding process. These findings include:
The City does not have the internal resources to perform generator installation services.
Generator installations involve specialized equipment and work that requires an experienced, qualified electrical contractor who has provided services of similar frequency and scope.
Use of the RFP process is appropriate for this Standard Agreement 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 services, 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 Council awards a Standard Agreement between the City of Stockton and Collin’s Electrical Company, Inc., in the amount of $2,954,535, 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 Manager is hereby authorized to take whatever actions are necessary and appropriate to carry out the purpose and intent of this Resolution.
