APPROVE MOTION TO AWARD A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT FOR THE KITS
TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEM PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve a motion to:
1. Approve findings pursuant to Stockton Municipal Code section 3.68.070 in support of an exception to the competitive bidding process.
2. Award a Professional Services Contract to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. of Phoenix, AZ, in the amount of $250,000 for the support of the Kimley-Horn Integrated Transportation System (KITS) Traffic Control System, Project No. WT15022.
It is also recommended that the City Manager be authorized to take appropriate and necessary actions to carry out the purpose and intent of this motion.
Summary
In 2022, the City completed the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Master Plan, which assessed the current transportation system and developed a plan for the City’s framework of a new transportation infrastructure system. The ITS Master Plan concluded that the City should use D4 traffic signal controller software for signal intersection control and the KITS operating system for staff administrative control of the entire central Traffic Management Center. The City owns, maintains, and operates 317 traffic signals, 311 of which are connected to a leased fiber optic network. The KITS system was installed in 2024 with one year of support until a formal KITS support contract could be established to keep the system up-to-date and provide as needed operational support to staff.
On July 24, 2025, the City advertised a Request for Proposals (RFP) for professional support services for the KITS Traffic Control System, Project No. WT15022. On August 14, 2025, one firm submitted a proposal for this project. A Selection Committee evaluated the proposal and found Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. to be qualified to provide the required level of support for a fiveyear term.
It is recommended that Council approve a motion authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Contract in the amount of $250,000 with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. to provide KITS support through June 30, 2030.

DISCUSSION
Background
In 2022, the City completed the ITS Master Plan, which assessed the current transportation system and developed a plan for the City’s framework of a new transportation infrastructure system. The ITS Master Plan concluded that the best signal operating system for the City’s network includes utilizing the D4 traffic signal controller software for signal intersection control together with the KITS operating system for staff administrative control of the entire central Traffic Management Center.
The City owns, maintains, and operates 317 traffic signals, 311 of which are connected to a leased fiber optic network. The KITS system was installed in 2024 to replace the City’s two existing central control systems which had become ineffective and obsolete. One year of KITS support was provided at the time of installation. A formal KITS support contract is needed to keep the system up-to-date and provide as needed operational support to staff.
KITS features some additional modules that will allow the system to grow with the City’s needs. The closed-circuit television module will be added with this support contract to enable staff to monitor its 90+ video detection cameras seamlessly. Additional modules that can be added include adaptive traffic signal control, cloud-based emergency vehicle preemption and transit signal priority, and crowd -sourced travel time data. By using KITS, staff can reduce emissions and travel times and increase safety at signalized intersections throughout the City. Securing maintenance support for transportation systems such as the KITS system is standard for trouble shooting and maintaining system operations.
Present Situation
On July 24, 2025, the City advertised an RFP for the KITS Traffic Control System, Project No.
WT15022. On August 14, 2025, one proposal was received from Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. of Phoenix, AZ.
The Selection Committee evaluated the proposal based on the firm’s understanding of work, experience with similar kinds of projects, staff qualifications and technical ability, and project approach.
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. was determined to be qualified for this project. Staff negotiated a fee in the amount of $250,000 with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. for five years of support services.
It is recommended that Council approve a motion authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Contract in the amount of $250,000 with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. to provide KITS support through June 30, 2030.
Findings
Pursuant to Stockton Municipal Code (SMC) section 3.68.070, Council may approve findings which support an exception to the competitive bidding process. These findings include:
City of Stockton Page 2 of 3 Printed on 2/26/2026
powered by Legistar™338
File #: 25-1432, Version: 1
1. The City does not have the expertise to support the system.
2. 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.
3. The City negotiated a contract following solicitation of competitive proposals in accordance with SMC section 3.68.070.A.3.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
There is sufficient funding in the KITS Traffic Control System, Project No. WT15022 to award a Professional Services Contract in the amount of $250,000 to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. for the project.

also be tailored for new staff or to provide more indepth training on specific topics. Kimley-Horn will also provide ad hoc training over the phone and email as
needed.
Support Services
Kimley-Horn will monitor and track issues through
Kimley-Horn’s Microsoft DevOps ticketing system to
ensure accurate tracking and reporting.
Kimley-Horn will take special care to ensure the

TCS is free of major issues that prevent City staff from performing their work. In the event an issue requires a software patch, Kimley-Horn will work to address the
software issue and push a software patch as soon as
possible.
With KITS, software patches are seamless and
require little to no effort by the City. Software patches that require a backend service update will be pushed
automatically following coordination with City staff at an appropriate time to update. Backend updates will
require no additional effort on the City’s part. In the event a user interface update is required, KITS will
notify users that a new version is available, and staff may elect to update their user interface immediately or on their own time.
Kimley-Horn will perform periodic checkups and tuneups at least once per month to check the performance of the solution. We will correct operational issues
to ensure the solution conforms in all material
respects to the specifications, functions, descriptions, standards, and criteria set forth in the agreement.
Kimley-Horn will provide remote support and
maintenance for the operations of the KITS ATMS
software and resolve issues and bugs with the

APPROVE MOTION TO AUTHORIZE STANDARD AGREEMENT AMENDMENT NO. 2 FOR
COMPUTERIZED MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR MUNICIPAL UTILITIES AND
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENTS
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve a motion to:
1. Approve findings pursuant to Stockton Municipal Code Section 3.68.070 in support of an exception to the competitive bidding process.
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute Standard Agreement Amendment No. 2, in the amount of $141,200, with Azteca Systems, LLC of Sandy, UT, for the Computerized Maintenance Management System for Municipal Utilities and Public Works Departments.
It is also recommended that the City Manager be authorized to take appropriate and necessary actions to carry out the purpose and intent of this motion.
Summary
Public Works is responsible for maintaining multiple City assets, including streets, signs, sidewalks, traffic signals, streetlights, fleet, equipment, facilities, and trees. Municipal Utilities Department (MUD) maintains all assets associated with water distribution, wastewater and stormwater collection, water and sewer treatment, pipes, pumps, motors, lift stations, and accessory assets.
On March 10, 2020, by Motion No. 2020-03-10-1104, Council awarded a five-year agreement, in the amount of $700,000, to Azteca Systems, LLC of Sandy, UT, for the Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) for MUD and Public Works (Attachment A).
On January 16, 2025, the City Manager approved Standard Agreement Amendment No. 1 with Azteca Systems, LLC, in the amount of $140,000, for the first one-year extension of the contract from March 24, 2025, to March 23, 2026 (Attachment B).
On March 24, 2025, the City Manager approved Contract Change Order No. 1 with Azteca Systems, LLC, in the amount of $14,850, to evaluate and allow the remote upgrade of the Cityworks server for Public Works (Attachment C).
It is recommended that Council approve a motion authorizing the City Manager to execute Standard Agreement Amendment No. 2 with Azteca Systems, LLC, in the amount of $141,200, for the second one-year extension and for a total cost not to exceed the amount of $996,050 (Attachments D and E).

DISCUSSION
Background
In 2011, the City retained NextLevel Information Technology, Inc. to develop a Citywide Technology Strategic Plan (CTSP). On June 19, 2012, by Motion No. 2012-06-19-1502, Council approved accepting the CTSP. One of the projects identified as a priority in the CTSP was the replacement of the City’s CMMS for MUD and Public Works.
A CMMS is a database for an organization’s maintenance operations. This information is used to schedule and track preventative maintenance, thereby decreasing corrective work due to equipment or infrastructure failure. A CMMS also records all work that has been completed. This information is used in reporting to ensure regulatory compliance and to efficiently schedule the use of labor and equipment.
On March 10, 2020, by Motion No. 2020-03-10-1104, Council awarded a five-year agreement, in the amount of $700,000, to Azteca Systems, LLC of Sandy, UT, for the CMMS for MUD and Public Works (Attachment A).
On January 16, 2025, the City Manager approved Standard Agreement Amendment No. 1 with Azteca Systems, LLC, in the amount of $140,000, for the first one-year extension of the contract from March 24, 2025, to March 23, 2026 (Attachment B).
On March 24, 2025, the City Manager approved Contract Change Order No. 1 with Azteca Systems, LLC, in the amount of $14,850, to evaluate and allow the remote upgrade of the Cityworks server for Public Works (Attachment C).
Present Situation
Public Works is responsible for maintaining multiple City assets, including streets, signs, sidewalks, traffic signals, streetlights, fleet, equipment, facilities, and trees. MUD maintains all assets associated with water distribution, wastewater and stormwater collection, water and sewer treatment, pipes, pumps, motors, lift stations, and accessory assets.
Since its implementation, more than 250 City employees have successfully utilized the Cityworks software. This also includes 145 mobile devices that allow users to access the system remotely at work sites. Both departments continue to add new departmental workflows into the system and improve the software. The Cityworks software must be kept up to date to receive user support, program fixes, modifications, and upgrades from Azteca Systems, LLC.
It is recommended that Council approve a motion authorizing the City Manager to execute Standard Agreement Amendment No. 2 with Azteca Systems, LLC, in the amount of $141,200, for the second one-year extension and for a total cost not to exceed the amount of $996,050 (Attachment D). The amendment will extend the contract from March 24, 2026, to March 23, 2027.

Findings
Pursuant to Stockton Municipal Code (SMC) section 3.68.070, Council may approve findings which support an exception to the competitive bidding process. These findings include:
1. Continuing to utilize Azteca Systems, LLC’s Cityworks CMMS will leverage investments in employee training, resulting in continued efficiency when scheduling and tracking preventative maintenance and thereby decreasing corrective work due to equipment or infrastructure failure.
2. Using Azteca Systems, LLC’s Cityworks CMMS will allow both MUD and Public Works to continue to improve the software and add new departmental workflows into the system.
3. Azteca Systems, LLC is the maker and current provider of support and maintenance for the Azteca Systems, LLC’s Cityworks CMMS.
4. Continuing to use Azteca Systems, LLC’s Cityworks CMMS technology ensures the City receives proper user support, program fixes, modifications, and upgrades.
5. Azteca Systems, LLC’s Cityworks CMMS has integrated with the City’s AskStockton platform, which enables MUD and Public Works respond to residents’ requests and concerns directly in the Azteca Systems, LLC’s Cityworks CMMS.
6. The City negotiated a contract for initial acquisition of the Azteca Systems, LLC’s Cityworks CMMS following solicitation of competitive proposals in accordance with SMC 3.68.070.A.3.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
There are sufficient funds available in Fiscal Year 2025-26 Public Works Software Maintenance accounts and MUD’s Technology Services Division Software Maintenance accounts. The contract costs will be split between both departments. Public Works will pay $70,000, and MUD will pay $71,200 per year (Attachment E).

DISCUSSION
Background
The Carbon Reduction Program and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Program (CRP/CMAQ) are federal programs that help fund projects that contribute to the attainment or maintenance of National Ambient Air Quality Standards. The intersection of Airport Way and Sixth Street currently has stop controls on Sixth Street (Attachment A). This intersection meets the warrants for a traffic signal and was ranked highly in the 2019’s in the Stockton Traffic Signal, Roundabout and Protected LeftTurn Phasing Priority Studies Report. In 2023, the City submitted a grant funding application to the CRP/CMAQ program in the amount of $1,492,150 to install a new traffic signal at Airport Way and Sixth Street, including traffic signal synchronization and other existing signals between Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Arch Airport Road. Other improvements include new Americans with Disabilities Act compliant ramps, streetlights, and roadway resurfacing. The CRP/CMAQ funding application in the amount of $1,492,150 for design, construction, administration, and contingency cost was approved and the project was included in the 2025-30 Five-Year CIP.
The funding is administered by Caltrans. Staff submitted a federal funding allocation request from Caltrans in the amount of $220,000 to start design of the project. The City’s local match for design is $28,503. The combined federal and local funding amount for design is $248,503. Caltrans approved the allocation request and authorized start of design and administration. Separate authorizations are required as the project progresses to construction.
Present Situation
On November 5, 2025, the City advertised an RFP for design of the Airport Way and Sixth Street Traffic Signal Installation and Synchronization, Project No. WT25040/Federal Project No. CRPL-5008 (217). On November 26, 2025, three proposals were received from the following firms:
· Siegfried Engineering, Inc. (Stockton, CA)
· Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (Oakland, CA)
· Minagar & Associates, Inc. (Laguna Hills, CA)
The Selection Committee evaluated and ranked all proposals based on each firm’s understanding of work, experience with similar kinds of projects, staff qualifications and technical ability, project approach, and familiarity with federal transportation funding procedures.
Siegfried Engineering, Inc. received the highest ranking, based on the noted criteria, and was determined to be the most qualified firm for this project. Staff negotiated a fee in the amount of $215,000 with Siegfried Engineering, Inc. for design services.
It is recommended that Council adopt a resolution transferring funds and authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Contract in the amount of $215,000 with Siegfried Engineering, Inc. for design of the Airport Way and Sixth Street Traffic Signal Installation and Synchronization, Project No. WT25040/Federal Project No. CRPL-5008(217).

Findings
Pursuant to Stockton Municipal Code (SMC) section 3.68.070, Council may approve findings which support an exception to the competitive bidding process. These findings include:

4. The City negotiated a contract following solicitation of competitive proposals in accordance with SMC section 3.68.070.A.3.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY

Project Summary | The Airport Way Traffic Signal and Corridor Synchronization Project will deliver safety, operational, and multimodal mobility improvements along a critical north–south arterial through the installation of a new traffic signal at Airport Way and 6th Street and the coordination of nine signalized intersections between Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd and Arch Airport Road. The project includes detailed traffic signal design, updated timing plans, and corridor-wide operational modeling to reduce delays, minimize stops, and improve performance under peak-hour conditions. Work will also encompass comprehensive background research, topographic and utility review, and full PS&E development in accordance with City of Stockton standards and Caltrans Local Assistance requirements. Supported by CMAQ and Carbon Reduction Program Local funding, the project requires strict adherence to CEQA and NEPA compliance, coordination with utility agencies, and integration of stakeholder priorities to ensure a buildable, federally compliant design that enhances long-term corridor operations.
Task 1 | Background Research
The Project Team will research and review existing topographic mapping, photos, right of way maps, “asbuilt” plans, record maps, surveys, assessor maps, local street improvement plans, collision reports, sight distance, approach speed, total pedestrians and vehicle volumes, public transit routes, grade, and other geometrical and operational characteristics for the project.
We will conduct a topographic survey of the Sixth Street intersection including improvements 100 feet in all direction. Said survey will be prepared in CAD and utilized as a base for the improvement plans. The remaining signals and intersections will not be surveyed given they are timing and synchronization improvements only. Monumentation of the existing ROW will be collected so that the ROW can be plotted on the improvement plans.
We will perform one (1) day of non-destructive utility locating using GPR during early design at the proposed signal pole locations to verify no conflicts with the foundations.
The Project Team will acquire signal as-built, and signal timing information for the project corridor from the City to understand existing signal timing and patterns and review the existing signal operations throughout the corridor. The team will provide traffic data for AM & PM Peak hours to develop the signal timing.
The Project Team will conduct field reconnaissance of the project limits. We will work with pertinent utilities to identify conflicts, coordinate utility plan reviews, conduct necessary coordination meetings, and locate designed improvements as required to facilitate any utility relocations. We will coordinate with the City to route this information to utility companies. We will show existing utilities that will be impacted or cause impact by the proposed project. We will arrange and coordinate with utility companies, within the project sphere, to resolve any utility issues.
The Project Team will identify required permits, prepare all permit applications, and assist the City with negotiations relative to permit conditions, if required. Permit fees will be paid by the City.

Task 2 | Environmental Services
The project is funded with federal funds, and therefore California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance is required through Caltrans District 10 Office of Local Assistance. The Project Team will be responsible for coordinating with Caltrans and Stakeholders as needed, including completion of the Preliminary Environmental Study (PES). We will prepare any studies that Caltrans requires in the approved PES.
Preliminary Environmental Assessment Form: The Project Team will prepare a Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) form in accordance with the requirements of the Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM), Chapter 6. Once the Project Team and City have approved the Draft PES, the Draft PES will be submitted to the Caltrans District 10 Local Assistance team. If a Field Review is required, a project manager would attend the [virtual] Field Review Meeting with Caltrans to support environmental elements of that meeting. Following the Field Review Meeting, we will prepare any needed revisions to the Draft PES and submit it to Caltrans for final approval.
Air Quality Conformity: The Project Team will complete Interagency Consultation (IAC) for PM10/PM2.5.
This will consist of preparation of a San Joaquin Valley Hot Spot Checklist for Interagency Consultation and project presentation materials for submittal to the San Joaquin Valley Project-Level Conformity Working Group. We will submit the required materials to the Working Group for public circulation and attend the Working Group meeting to present the project.
Following completion of the IAC process, the Project Team will prepare a Caltrans-format Air Quality Conformity Findings Checklist to document the project’s conformity with federal air quality requirements, including the conclusions of the IAC process.
Phase I Initial Site Assessment: The Project Team will prepare a Phase I Initial Site Assessment (Phase I ISA) in general accordance with the Caltrans SER Chapter 10 requirements and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process (ASTM E1527-21), and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Final Rule regarding Standards and Practices for All Appropriate Inquiries (70 Federal Register [FR] 66070, July 1, 2005; 40 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] Part 312) (AAI Rule). To support completion of the Phase I ISA, we will review regulatory agency and other records to help identify site conditions, conduct a physical setting review, review historic land use, conduct a site reconnaissance and vicinity survey, and conduct interviews of past and present owners or occupants of the subject property, if possible.
Following these investigations, the Project Team will prepare a Phase ISA Report to document the results of the investigations and recommendations. The report will include findings, opinions, conclusions, and significant data gaps, if any, that could affect the identification of Recognized Environmental Conditions at the subject property. If the ISA identifies any such gaps in the records, they will be disclosed and EXHIBIT A Page 11 of 66 EXHIBIT 1
414
discussed, including by identifying sources consulted to address them and comment upon their significance with regard to the ability to identify conditions indicative of releases and threatened releases of hazardous substances on, at, in, or to the subject property. The Phase I ISA will include illustrations and pertinent regulatory agency documentation regarding the subject property.
Community Impacts Assessment Memo: The Project Team will prepare a Community Impact Assessment Memo to describe potential project effects to community resources, including from temporary traffic detours, utility relocations, right-of-way acquisitions and reductions in parking, if any.
Recommendations for avoidance and minimization measures will be included, as needed, to minimize potential effects.
CEQA Categorical Exemption: The Project Team will review the project for application of a CEQA Categorical Exemption (CE) and prepare a CE Support Memo for the project file that describes why a CE is the appropriate level of documentation for the project and documents the investigations completed during the review. We will rely on the information prepared to support the PES Form, specifically as it pertains to hazardous materials, cultural resources, and biological resources, to inform the CE Support Memo.
Upon completion of the CE Support Memo, The Project Team will prepare a Notice of Exemption (NOE) in the City’s preferred format and provide it to the City for their signature and posting at the County ClerkRecorder’s office and State Clearinghouse.

Task 3 | Utility Coordination
The Project Team will be responsible for performing utility investigations and coordination with utility owners throughout the project development process. We will be present at all necessary meetings with each utility owner. We will be responsible for, but not limited to, the following:
Prepare a project limits map and request utility information from each utility owner within the area of work.
Prepare Utility Letter “A” during preliminary design phase to the affected utility owners for City to review and approve prior to transmitting to utility owners. Information on existing utilities obtained as a result of the “A” letter will be transferred to base maps in both plan and profile view. A copy of the utility data obtained from utility owners will be provided to the City and the originals will be filed in the project files.
Prepare Utility Letter “B” during 65% design phase to the affected utility owners for City to review and approve prior to transmitting to utility owners. Two sets of half-sized 65% plans will be provided to each utility owner as an attachment to the letter. The letter will request that utility owners verify any utility conflicts with proposed improvements and indicate whether any future utilities are proposed in the area that may require accommodation through the improved area. Information on existing utilities obtained as a result of the “B” letter will be used to determine potential utility conflicts and to resolve the conflicts identified. A copy of the utility data obtained from utility owners will be provided to the City and the originals will be filed in the project files.
EXHIBIT A Page 13 of 66 EXHIBIT 1
416
Prepare Utility Letter “C” during 100% design phase to the affected utility owners for City to review and approve prior to transmitting to utility owners. Two sets of half-sized 100% plans will be provided to each utility owner as an attachment to the letter. The letter will indicate to the utility owners whether any changes have been made to the project plans since the Utility Letter “B” and will request written confirmation of utility relocations and utility relocation schedule. A copy of the utility data obtained from utility owners will be provided to the City and the originals will be filed in the project files.
The Project Team will meet with utility companies as needed to determine that conflicts are identified and relocations performed if necessary.
The Project Team will use data provided by utility companies and perform field work such as: potholing and ground penetrating radar, per Task 1. This field work will be performed as soon as possible so that conflicts can be identified, and utility companies can be notified of any necessary relocating.
Task 4 | Plans, Specifications, and Estimate
The Project Team will prepare PS&E documents, which include design improvement plans, traffic control plans, electrical plans, drainage plans, technical specifications, and engineer’s estimates. The PS&E’s will be prepared according to the City’s standards and current CA MUTCD, as appropriate. We will use modeling software to determine acceptable Level of Service (LOS) and geometric layout and submit recommendations to City for concurrence. Prepare a base map showing existing information to facilitate the design of all the necessary improvements. The base map limits will be sufficient to cover all necessary improvements within the project area.
Traffic Signal Design Process – Intermediate Reviews: Improvement plans for traffic signal addition and connectivity, striping, roadway, drainage, electrical, erosion control and or water pollution prevention and miscellaneous plans will be submitted for review to the City at 30%, 65%, 90% and 100% completion stage. The Project Team will provide one electronic (PDF format) and ten (10) hard copy sets of PS&E (1 - 24” x 36” plan sets, and 9 half-scale plan sets on 11” x 17”) at each design stage to the City for review and comments. With each stage, the review comments from the previous stage will be itemized and a written response to each will be prepared in a comment matrix. The original red-line comments from the reviewing agency will be returned with the succeeding submittal.
The Project Team will provide a project specification outline and project estimates at the 65% submittal and complete project estimate and specification at 100% submittal. A 100% check print must be submitted for review by staff prior to a 100% set of plans being plotted on mylars.
Existing and Recommended Signal Timing Analysis: Under this task, the Project Team will evaluate existing signal timings during the a.m. and, p.m. peak periods for the existing signalized study intersections. We will review the traffic data collected to ensure accuracy and develop baseline Synchro Models for existing conditions. The existing conditions model will be validated and calibrated to reflect traffic patterns observed in the field with reasonable accuracy.
EXHIBIT A Page 14 of 66 EXHIBIT 1
417
The Project Team will also review the minimum signal timing parameters such as minimum green for bicycles, walk and flash don’t walk (FDW), yellow and all-red intervals at all study intersections in compliance with City of Stockton Standards and the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, 2014 Edition (CA MUTCD 2014).
City provided existing conditions Synchro models will be used to estimate the measures of effectiveness for the signalized intersections and arterial. The following MOE will be estimated and reported:
Average Delay; Average Speed; Travel Time; Emissions; Queue Based on the existing conditions evaluation optimized signal timing plans will be developed. The Project Team will update the existing conditions Synchro models with the recommended minimum timing parameters for City Staff. We will evaluate suitable options including but not limited to time-base coordination plans, changes to signal timing parameters, etc. to help reduce queuing along Airport Way.
SimTraffic model calibrated for existing conditions will be used for analysis and development of recommended timings. This will help to evaluate the benefits of the recommended timings. Upon development of recommended timing plans, The Project Team will prepare a technical memorandum summarizing the work completed under this task.
Implementation, Fine-Tuning and Evaluation: Upon approval from City Staff, the Project Team will help implement the recommended timing plans at the study intersections during the study peak periods. Finetuning of the optimized signal timing and offsets will be conducted in the field while monitoring the operations. Adjustment made in the field during fine-tuning will be documented and included in the final report. Timing sheets will be updated based on adjustments made during fine-tuning of the optimized timing plans.
Following the signal timing plan implementation, and fine-tuning, the Project Team will collect a minimum of four GPS travel time surveys during the same periods as existing conditions along the study corridors. We will document and develop a comparison report of the “Before” and “After” results and summarize improvements, time-savings, estimated fuel savings, delay savings, and others deemed appropriate.
Based on the final optimized timing plans implemented in the field, the Project Team will generate and compare the same MOE’s that were generated in earlier task for existing conditions to determine the level of improvement provided by the new timing plans.
The electrical design plans will be developed to scale in AutoCAD following the latest City of Stockton, CA-MUTCD and Caltrans Standards and Specifications. The Project Team will coordinate for new service at the intersection to energize the signal.

E. CONSULTANT’s Cost Proposal may be subject to a CPA ICR Audit Work Paper Review and/or audit by the Independent Office of Audits and Investigations (IOAI). IOAI, at its sole discretion, may review and/or audit and approve the CPA ICR documentation.

Each party agrees to use its best efforts to resolve any audit disputes in a timely manner. If IOAI identifies significant issues during the review and is unable to issue a cognizant approval letter, LOCAL AGENCY will reimburse the CONSULTANT at an accepted ICR until a FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation) compliant ICR (e.g. 48 CFR Part 31; GAGAS (Generally Accepted Auditing Standards); CAS (Cost Accounting Standards), if applicable; in accordance with procedures and guidelines of the American Association of State Highways and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Audit Guide; and other applicable procedures and guidelines) is received and approved by IOAI.

IOAI will then have up to six (6) months to review the CONSULTANT’s and/or the independent CPA’s revisions.
3. If the CONSULTANT fails to comply with the provisions of this paragraph E, or if IOAI is still unable to issue a cognizant approval letter after the revised independent CPA audited ICR is submitted, overhead cost reimbursement will be limited to the accepted ICR that was established upon initial rejection of the ICR and set forth in paragraph E.1. above for all rendered services. In this event, this accepted ICR will become the actual and final ICR for reimbursement purposes under this AGREEMENT.
4. CONSULTANT may submit to LOCAL AGENCY final invoice only when all of the following items have occurred: (1) IOAI accepts or adjusts the original or revised independent CPA audited ICR; (2) all work under this AGREEMENT has been completed to the satisfaction of LOCAL AGENCY; and, (3) IOAI has issued its final ICR review letter. The CONSULTANT MUST SUBMIT ITS FINAL INVOICE TO LOCAL AGENCY no later than sixty (60) calendar days after occurrence of the last of these items.

1. Approve Notice of Exemption No. NOE51-25 under the California Environmental Quality Act for the On-Call Electrical Maintenance and Repair Services, Project No. OM-26-007.

It is also recommended that the City Manager be authorized to take appropriate and necessary actions to carry out the purpose and intent of this resolution.
Summary
The City is responsible for the maintenance of 69 parks. Due to the number of parks and the extent of electrical infrastructure, the City does not have sufficient internal resources to address all electrical maintenance and repair needs. The On-Call Electrical Maintenance and Repair Services project will provide the necessary services to maintain and repair electrical systems within City parks, ensuring the continued safe and reliable operation of park facilities.
On October 14, 2025, the City advertised a Request for Proposals (RFP) for On-Call Electrical Maintenance and Repair Services, Project No. OM-26-007. On November 5, 2025, eight firms submitted proposals for this project. The Selection Committee evaluated the proposals and found St.
Francis Electric, LLC of San Leandro, CA, to be the most qualified and highest ranked firm.
It is recommended that Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a threeyear Service Contract, in the amount not to exceed $300,000, with St. Francis Electric, LLC. This Service Contract contains renewal options for up to two one-year extensions of $100,000 each and a City of Stockton Page 1 of 3 Printed on 2/26/2026

File #: 26-0061, Version: 1
cumulative contract total not to exceed $500,000. It is also recommended that Council adopt a resolution approving Notice of Exemption No. NOE51-25 under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
DISCUSSION
Background
The City is responsible for the operation and maintenance of lighting systems within City parks.
These systems require ongoing preventive maintenance and as-needed repairs to ensure safe and reliable operations. Public Works’ staff provide maintenance and repair or are contracted out on an as-needed basis. However, the City is unable to fully perform these services in-house on a Citywide basis. The On-Call Electrical Maintenance and Repair Services project provides the City with the ability to address electrical maintenance and repair needs in a timely and efficient manner.
On March 6, 2025, the City advertised an informal RFP for On-Call Electrical Maintenance and Repair Services, Project No. OM-25-046. On June 6, 2025, the City entered into a one-year Service Contract with St. Francis Electric, LLC of San Leandro, CA. This contract expires on June 30, 2026.
On July 26, 2016, Council adopted a Community Workforce and Training Agreement (CWTA). The CWTA became effective August 25, 2016, and applies to all Public Works projects over $1 million that are bid after that date. On July 16, 2019, by Motion No. 2019-07-16-1403, Council extended the CWTA term to August 25, 2024. On August 20, 2024, by Motion No. 2024-08-20-1203, Council extended the CWTA term to August 25, 2029. The CWTA was not applied to this project as the estimated construction cost is less than $1 million.
Present Situation
On October 14, 2025, the City advertised an RFP for the On-Call Electrical Maintenance and Repair Services, Project No. OM-26-007. On November 5, 2025, eight proposals were received from the following:
· Advanced Lighting Services, Inc. (Dublin, CA)
· Bockmon & Woody Electric Co., Inc. (Stockton, CA)
· DC Electrical Company dba Alpha Construction Engineering (Roseville, CA) · Dynamic Generator Service, Inc. (Tracy, CA)
· Gruendl, Inc. dba Ray’s Electric (Oakland, CA)
· Sactown Contractors Corp dba Sactown Construction Pros (Sacramento, CA) · St. Francis Electric, LLC (San Leandro, CA)
· Telstar Instruments (Sacramento, CA)
A Selection Committee comprised of Public Works’ staff evaluated and ranked all proposals based on each firm’s experience with similar kinds of work, quality of work, references, staff qualifications, and ability to support the City’s parks. St. Francis Electric, LLC received the highest ranking, based on the noted criteria, and was determined to be the most qualified firm for this project.

File #: 26-0061, Version: 1
The project conforms with the City’s General Plan, pursuant to California Government Code section 65402, and is categorically exempt from the requirements of CEQA as specified under Section 15301 (c) of the CEQA Guidelines. As a result, the project has been granted a Categorical Exemption. The activities related to this project constitute a discretionary project under the City’s jurisdiction and qualifies as a project that does not have a significant effect on the environment. The resolution will approve the filing of Notice of Exemption No. NOE51-25 under CEQA.
It is recommended that Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a threeyear Service Contract, in the amount not to exceed $300,000, with St. Francis Electric, LLC of San Leandro, CA, for the On-Call Electrical Maintenance and Repair Services, Project No. OM-26-007.
Payment will be based on actual work performed at the negotiated hourly price. Initial contracted services will expire on June 30, 2029. The City has the option to initiate two one-year extensions thereafter, at an annual cost of $100,000, for a cumulative contract total not to exceed $500,000.
Findings
Pursuant to Stockton Municipal Code (SMC) section 3.68.070, Council may approve findings which support an exception to the competitive bidding process. These findings include:
1. The City does not have the internal resources to support the electrical maintenance, repairs, and services in the City parks.
2. Use of the RFP process is appropriate for this Service 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 the selection of a vendor that will provide professional, responsive, and timely service which is in the public interest.
3. The City negotiated a contract following the solicitation of competitive proposals in accordance with SMC section 3.68.070.A.3.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
There are sufficient funds available in the Landscape Maintenance District and Public Works Parks General Fund Operating Budgets to award a Service Contract, in the amount not to exceed $300,000, to St. Francis Electric, LLC for the On-Call Electrical Maintenance and Repair Services, Project No. OM-26-007.
