Resolution No.
STOCKTON CITY COUNCIL
RESOLUTION APPROVING FINDINGS AND AUTHORIZING A PROGRESSIVE DESIGN-BUILD CONTRACT IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,290,632 WITH F&H CONSTRUCTION FOR THE DELTA WATER TREATMENT CAMPUS IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT In 2014, staff evaluated renovating the existing MUD Water Field Office and determined that expanding the Water Treatment Plant campus would more effectively meet current and future Water Distribution staff accommodations and operational needs of the Department; and When complete, the Delta Water Treatment Plant Campus Improvements Project will feature new facilities and upgrade infrastructure to unify all water operations within an environmentally sensitive campus. It will also add new public space for MUD, City Departments, local agencies and create a northern service hub to improve utility operations and logistics; and On October 23, 2024, MUD staff released a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) soliciting for firms qualified and capable of providing the necessary services. Staff reviewed ten Statements of Qualifications and selected three firms to submit a proposal in response to a Request for Proposals (RFP); and The RFP defined a two-phase Progressive Design-Build approach to meet required project objectives; and MUD staff received three proposals in response to the RFP. A selection committee evaluated the proposals based on specific criteria and F&H Construction of Lodi, California, received the highest ranking and was determined to be the most qualified firm for this project; 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:
A strict cost-competitive basis for the selection of professional services may lower the quality and thoroughness of the services provided.
Use of the RFP process is appropriate for this Progressive Design-Build 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.
Considering the size, complexity, and schedule requirements of the Project, the City does not have sufficient staff resources nor the expertise to design and construct a project of this size.
The City negotiated a contract following solicitation of competitive proposals in accordance with SMC section 3.68.070.A.3.
The Progressive Design-Build Contract for the Project, in the amount $1,290,632, between the City of Stockton and F&H Construction, is hereby awarded, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and incorporated herein by this reference.
The City Manager is hereby authorized and directed to execute the Progressive Design-Build Contract for the Project with F&H Construction.
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 June 9, 2026 .
