Resolution No.
STOCKTON CITY COUNCIL
RESOLUTION APPROVING FINDINGS AND AWARDING A $500,000 CONTRACT TO HUBER TECHNOLOGY INC. FOR MATERIALS, ON-CALL REPAIR, AND MAINTENANCE SERVICES During the RWCF Modifications Project, the Huber Technology Rakemax system (Rakemax) was selected to screen wastewater influent in the Headworks facility; and The Rakemax system is a proprietary brand that requires Huber Technology parts and certified services to maintain proper operation and warranty. Consequently, Huber Technology Inc. is the sole available source for materials, on-call repair, and maintenance services; and The Rakemax system requires routine maintenance, parts, and repair to work properly; and The proposed contract with Huber Technology Inc. includes materials, on-call repair, and maintenance services to ensure proper maintenance of the system; now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STOCKTON, AS FOLLOWS:
The City Council approves the following findings pursuant to Stockton Municipal Code section 3.68.070 to support and justify an exception to the competitive bidding process:
Huber Technology Inc. is the only source for Rakemax parts and repair services in the United States. Service repairs and parts are a standard maintenance practice required to preserve system operations and screening of wastewater influent.
The Rakemax system was installed during the RWCF Modifications Project.
The Rakemax system requires the use of original manufacturer parts and service for proper operation and lowest life-cycle cost. The use of any parts and services not supplied by Huber Technology Inc. cancels the existing warranty.
The continued maintenance and repair of the Rakemax system is more cost-effective than replacing it with an alternative system and, therefore, best serves public interest.
The City Council authorizes the City Manager to execute a five-year contract with a not-to-exceed amount of $500,000 with Huber Technology Inc. of Denver, NC, for materials, on-call repair, and maintenance services, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1 and incorporated by this reference.
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 December 9, 2025 .
