RUSH SHIPPING POLICY
Life-Assist never charges a rush fee on any order. Orders in by 4pm CST ship same day. The dedicated warehouse for the your department is in Lenexa, KS providing a 2-day ground delivery window. If Next Day Air shipping is required, additional freight charges may apply.

INVENTORY LEVELS
Life-Assist will adjust inventory levels at the time of award based on estimated annual usage provided by your agency. We use an electronic warehouse management system for inventory control and tracking customer allocations, lot numbers and expiration dates for all the products we provide. Manual adjustments are made as needed.

DISTRIBUTION AND DELIVERY PROCESS
Stock availability is clearly indicated on our website. When an order is placed, a confirmation email is sent to the email login address used to complete the order. The confirmation includes any items not in stock at the time the order is being processed (if applicable) and provides an estimated availability date. Our Customer Care Specialists can also provide stock availability by phone.

The shipping location is identified, and an order number is generated. Each order is processed independently, ensuring it is shipped to its specified address. As many of our customers have multiple locations, this system ensures multiple shipping locations are never an issue.

Once an order ships from our warehouse, an invoice is immediately generated for the items shipped. We have a 99% fill rate and adapt our inventory levels according to the needs of our customers to ensure backorders are kept to a minimum. If necessary, we also offer the ability to provide drop shipments directly from the manufacturer. Invoices are sent according to the method requested. In unlikely cases involving invoicing or product issues, backorders, mis-shipments, etc., the Customer Care Department will address them immediately. 12 ATTACHMENT A

If substitutions are needed for any reason, your dedicated Account Manager will work with you directly to
accommodate your needs. Customers are notified of any

Product Specialist team searches for alternatives if the manufacturer does not offer a replacement item based on the needs outlined by your dedicated Account Manager.

EXPIRATION DATES
All items are shipped with a minimum 12-month
expiration date. Should an item be available with less than a 12-month expiration date, customers are notified at the time of order and their approval is required prior to
shipment. The Life-Assist website also provides detailed expiration information on any products that fall short of the 12-month minimum policy.

PLEASE READ BEFORE SUBMITTING YOUR PROPOSAL
SOLICITATIONS FOR: MEDICAL PRODUCTS, MONITORS, SOFTWARE, DATA TRANSMISSION, AND RELATED

SERVICES

1.0 INTENT:

1.1 GENERAL INTENT
The LEAGUE OF OREGON CITIES (“LOC”) serves as the “Lead Contracting Agency” for this solicitation on behalf of its members, and as authorized by the LOC Intergovernmental Agreement, which is an agreement for intergovernmental cooperation among select local Oregon governments and recognized under ORS Chapter 190.

LOC, in association with the members of National Purchasing Partners, LLC dba NPPGov (hereinafter referred to as “NPPGov”), comprises a cooperative procurement group. NPPGov membership includes government and non-profit entities across the United States and Canada, K-12 and Higher education, Tribal government, and other public entities which includes members of Public Safety GPO, First Responders GPO, and Law Enforcement GPO. As required by certain states and provinces, LOC and NPPGov have prepared an Attachment referencing eligible Members that also can be found on the LOC and NPPGov web sites. This procurement group is soliciting proposals from qualified companies (hereinafter referred to as “Proposer”) to enter into a Master Price Agreement for Medical Products, Monitors, Software, Data Transmission, and Related Services.

The intent of this Interstate Cooperative Procurement Solicitation (hereinafter referred to as “Solicitation” or “RFP”) is to invite Proposers to submit a competitive pricing proposal offering Medical Products, Monitors, Software, Data Transmission, and Related Services to LOC, which will then be made available to NPPGov members locally and nationwide; to reduce expenses by eliminating multiple requests for proposals and multiple responses by Vendors; and to obtain discounted pricing through volume purchasing. Significant sales potential exists because the Master Price Agreement will be used nationwide which may allow Participating Agencies to forego duplicating the formal solicitation process and expend staff resources. Preferably, the successful Proposer will provide its entire catalog of products and/or services in order that Participating Agencies who wish to access the Master Price Agreement may order a broad range of goods and services as needed.

With the exception of successful local Proposer(s) capable of servicing LOC and Participating Agencies within the state of Oregon, successful Proposer(s) should have a strong national presence for Medical Products, Monitors, Software, Data Transmission, and Related Services for use by government agencies nationwide.

This Solicitation meets Oregon public contracting requirements (ORS 279A et. seq.) and may not be appropriate under or meet Participating Agencies’ procurement laws. Participating Agencies are urged to seek independent review by their legal counsel to ensure compliance with all local and state solicitation requirements.

1.2 POTENTIAL MARKET
The LOC is publishing this RFP to create publicly awarded contracts for use by its members, which may also benefit the thousands of fellow members of NPPGov, Public Safety GPO, First Responders GPO, and Law Enforcement GPO. These are nationwide programs representing member government agencies in all 50 states.

We encourage each Proposer’s response to be a collaborative effort including manufacturer and distributor (when they are not the same company) to ensure nationwide contract utilization.

Proposer’s response should also take into consideration the considerable market potential for this Solicitation.

Because the successful proposal will be incorporated into a nationwide cooperative procurement program including tens of thousands of state, local government and non-profit participants from all 50 states, the LOC believes that contracts created from this Solicitation will provide vendors with a significant market advantage. 42 ATTACHMENT A
281
Members of NPPGov, Public Safety GPO, First Responders GPO, and Law Enforcement GPO and current vendors who participate in the program indicate the ability to shorten the sale cycle by eliminating the need to complete individual RFP processes is a significant advantage to participation.

The LOC believes that participation in the NPPGov purchasing program benefits both its Participating Agencies and successful Proposers. NPPGov engages with successful proposers who complete the Vendor Administration Agreement through a marketing and sales partnership. This partnership includes (but is not limited to) contract promotion to members, contract administration support to potential customers and live customer phone support.

Based on the historical volume of similar contracts, the estimated annual value of all transactions resulting from contracts awarded through this RFP is approximately USD 80 Million. Consequently, proposers are expected to offer volume pricing to reflect this potential scale. However, it is important to note that while considerable sales volume is anticipated, sales volume is not guaranteed and may vary from year to year.

1.3 REQUIREMENTS

1.3.1 The RFP and resulting Master Price Agreement are anticipated for use by the LOC’s government members, as well as other Participating Agencies across the nation. The LOC has entered into an Intergovernmental (interlocal) Cooperative Purchasing Agreement with other Participating Agencies for the purpose of obtaining Master Price Agreements with various vendors. Interlocal cooperative purchasing agreements allow Participating Agencies to make purchases at the LOC’s accepted proposal price, terms and conditions, provided that the Participating Agency has satisfied all of its local and state cooperative procurement requirements. Proposer(s) agrees to make the same proposal terms and price, exclusive of any possible rebates, incentives, freight and transportation fees, available to other Participating Agencies. The LOC and NPPGov will not incur any direct liability with respect to specifications, delivery, payment, or any other aspect of purchases by such Participating Agencies or nonprofit institutions. The Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Agreement is incorporated by reference herein and is available upon request — See Attachment A.

The successful Proposer must work directly with the Participating Agencies concerning the placement of orders, disputes, invoicing and payment. The LOC and NPPGov shall not be held liable for any costs or damages incurred by or as a result of the actions of the Vendor or any Participating Agency.

Successful Proposers must comply with the state and local laws, rules and regulations in each state and locality where the product or service is provided.

1.3.2 Each Participating Agency shall execute a Participating Agency Endorsement and Authorization included in the Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Agreement. While the terms of the Master Price Agreement shall govern the general pricing terms, each Participating Agency may request modification of the Master Price Agreement in accordance with each Participating Agency’s state and/or local purchasing laws, rules, regulations and procedures, provided said modifications are not material changes. Each Participating Agency may, at its discretion, and upon written agreement by the Participating Agency and Successful Proposer, request additional legal and procedural provisions not included herein that the successful Proposer must adhere to if it wishes to conduct business with said Participating Agency using the Master Price Agreement.

1.3.3 NPPGov, Public Safety GPO, First Responders GPO, and Law Enforcement GPO provide vendor exposure/marketing and contract utilization support for the successful Proposer’s products and services.

Successful Proposers servicing the awarded contract to Participating Agencies shall pay a Contract Administration Fee representing 2% percent of actual net sales under the Master Price Agreement as established in the NPPGov Vendor Administration Agreement (available upon request). Administration fee may not be listed or charged as a separate line item to users of the contract. The value of trade-ins or rebates shall not affect the amount of the administration fee paid to NPPGov.

1.4 MULTIPLE AWARDS
Multiple awards may be granted to meet the requirements of this Solicitation provided that such awards are differentiated by product make and model, service, and/or distribution regions and capabilities of the successful Proposers. Specifically, the LOC may award separate contracts to Proposers in order to cover all local and national geographical markets, electronic purchasing capabilities, and products and services identified in this Request for Proposal, as well as the diverse and large number of Participating Agencies. The award of multiple contracts is to be determined upon receipt and review of all proposals and based upon the general criteria 43 ATTACHMENT A
282
provided herein. The LOC may solicit proposals from local qualified companies with or without a national presence provided that the successful Proposer is able to provide the LOC with the products and services requested. Multiple awards will ensure fulfillment of current and future requirements of the diverse and large number of Participating Agencies. In the event a local Proposer with no national distribution capabilities best meets the proposal selection criteria, multiple local and nationwide responsive proposals may be awarded simultaneously in the best interests of local commerce, compliance with local laws, and the Participating Agencies nationwide.

Proposers should be able to serve the needs of Participating Agencies on a national basis. However, this requirement shall not exclude local Proposers without a national presence that are capable of meeting the requirements of the LOC within the state of Oregon.

1.5 CONTRACT USAGE
The actual utilization of any Master Price Agreement will be at the sole discretion of LOC and the other Participating Agencies. It is the intent of this Request for Proposal and resulting Master Price Agreement that Participating Agencies may buy directly from Successful Proposers without the need for further solicitation.

However, Participating Agencies are urged to seek independent review by their legal counsel to ensure compliance with all local and state solicitation requirements as well as the need of further notice prior to utilizing the Master Price Agreement

MEDICAL PRODUCTS, MONITORS, SOFTWARE, DATA TRANSMISSION,

AND RELATED SERVICES
Solicitation No. 2535
Intent
The League of Oregon Cities (LOC) served as Lead Agency to solicit proposals for Medical Products, Monitors, Software, Data Transmission, and Related Services. LOC works in cooperation with National Purchasing Partners “NPP” and its Government Division dba NPPGov, dba Public Safety GPO and dba Law Enforcement GPO (collectively hereinafter “NPPGov”), to service the LOC and NPPGov membership. The published Request for Proposal (RFP) contained provisions that permitted all members of LOC and NPPGov throughout the nation to “piggyback” off the resulting Master Price Agreement.

Determination for issuing RFP vs. Sealed Bid
LOC has determined that it is advantageous for LOC to procure Medical Products, Monitors, Software, Data Transmission, and Related Services using a secure competitive RFP process evaluated based on “best value” rather than sealed bidding. Sealed bidding limits evaluation of offers solely to compliance with the requirements, provides no opportunity to compare the product and service offerings among the vendors, and uses price as the predominate deciding factor. Such limitations prevent LOC from awarding the most advantageous contract(s) to LOC and its members.

Procedure
LOC issued an RFP (2535) on May 12, 2025.

The RFP was posted to the following websites: orcities.org and nppgov.com on May 12, 2025.

The RFP was published in the DJC Oregon on May 12, 2025.

The RFP was published in USA Today on May 12, 2025.

The first RFP close date extension was extended through July 28, 2025.

The second RFP close date extension was extended through August 4, 2025.

The RFP closed on August 5, 2025.

The RFP was awarded on October 2, 2025.

ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING A COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT FOR THE MOKELUMNE

RIVER INTEGRATED CONJUNCTIVE USE PROGRAM AND WATER RIGHT APPLICATION FOR

MOKELUMNE RIVER WATER WITH THE NORTH SAN JOAQUIN WATER CONSERVATION

DISTRICT, STOCKTON EAST WATER DISTRICT, MOKELUMNE RIVER WATER AND POWER

AUTHORITY, SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY FLOOD AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT, AND

THE COUNTY OF SAN JOAQUIN (CITYWIDE)

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution approving a Cooperative Agreement (Exhibit 1 to the Resolution) for the Mokelumne River Integrated Conjunctive Use Program and Water Right Application for Mokelumne River water with the North San Joaquin Water Conservation District, Stockton East Water District, Mokelumne River Water and Power Authority, San Joaquin County Flood and Water Conservation District, and the San Joaquin County.

It is further 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 Municipal Utilities Department (MUD) provides drinking water service to the northern and southern regions of the Stockton Metropolitan Area, with the California Water Service Company and San Joaquin County serving the central region.

The Delta Water Treatment Plant (DWTP), completed in 2012 as part of the Delta Water Supply Project, provides up to 30 million gallons per day of treated surface water from the San Joaquin Delta and Mokelumne River.

The Mokelumne River Integrated Conjunctive Use Program (MICUP) is a regional water-resilience initiative in San Joaquin County that helps mitigate drought and climate-change impacts by diverting excess Mokelumne River flows during wet years to recharge the Eastern San Joaquin Groundwater Subbasin, strengthening long-term water reliability for local agriculture and communities.

If approved by the City Council, this item would authorize a Cooperative Agreement for the Mokelumne River Integrated Conjunctive Use Program (MICUP) and Water Right Application for Mokelumne River water (Application 29835) with the North San Joaquin Water Conservation District (NSJWCD), Stockton East Water District (SEWD), Mokelumne River Water and Power Authority (MRWPA), San Joaquin County Flood and Water Conservation District (SJCFWD), and the County of San Joaquin (County).

DISCUSSION
Background
In 1990, the Mokelumne River Water and Power Authority (MRWPA), a Joint Powers Authority formed by San Joaquin County (SJC) and the San Joaquin County Flood and Water Conservation District, filed Water Right Application 29835 with the California State Water Resources Control Board (CSWRCB).

The primary goal of MICUP is to develop facilities that can capture unappropriated flows from the Mokelumne River under Application 29835 and deliver new surface water supplies for groundwater recharge operations in the Eastern San Joaquin (ESJ) Subbasin. By enhancing recharge, the program aims to reduce groundwater overdraft and support the sustainability objectives outlined in the ESJ Groundwater Sustainability Plan. Key elements of MICUP include:
· Identifying preferred project alternatives
· Providing conceptual design-level detail for those alternatives · Establishing an environmental compliance strategy
· Preparing environmental documentation for the preferred alternatives The MRWPA must continue to exercise due diligence and advance plans and projects to place the water to beneficial use, or risk having Application 29835 canceled by the CSWRCB.

In November 2022, the ESJGWA received grant funding from the California Department of Water Resources through the 2021 Sustainable Groundwater Management Round 1 Implementation Grant program, which included $3.3 million for MICUP.

On March 22, 2023, the SJC Department of Public Works, acting on behalf of MRWPA, selected GEI Consultants, Inc. (GEI), to perform the services required under the grant to advance and finalize the water right application to the CSWRCB. The SJC Board of Supervisors approved the contract with GEI on August 22, 2023, and GEI has been performing services to advance MICUP since that time.

Present Situation
The Delta Water Treatment Plant Groundwater Recharge Project has been identified as a potential location for utilizing MICUP water. The City of Stockton (City) is evaluating additional sites throughout Stockton that have canal access capable of conveying Mokelumne River water for other potential groundwater recharge projects.

The City, in coordination with the SJC, NSJWCD, and SEWD (the Participating Agencies), has developed a proposed Agreement that defines roles and responsibilities; outlines water-right petition activities; adds the Participating Agencies as co-applicants to Application 29835; addresses water allocations under MICUP and Application 29835; and establishes cost-sharing arrangements for ongoing MICUP and water right petition activities. MUD staff anticipate continued engagement with interested and concerned stakeholders through stakeholder meetings and formal responses to protests as the application process progresses.

File #: 26-0631, Version: 2
All grant funds allocated to MICUP have now been fully expended; however, additional work is still required to complete certain grant deliverables. Beyond finishing the remaining MICUP tasks, further activities will also be necessary to secure the associated water rights and address any legal challenges that may arise related to Application 29835.

Cost sharing for all petition activities includes a fixed annual contribution from the SJC, with the remaining costs allocated among the Participating Agencies based on agreed-upon percentages:
40% City of Stockton, 40% NSJWCD, and 20% SEWD.

If approved by the City Council, the City will become a Participating Agency for MICUP and will contribute 40% of the costs for MICUP activities, consistent with the Cooperative Agreement. The City’s anticipated share for FY25-26 is $59,200 and for FY26-27 is $100,000.

If approved by the State Water Board, MICUP could offset Groundwater overdraft in the ESJGWA.

Environmental Clearance
As part of the water-rights application, a Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) must be prepared and released for public review and comment. The DEIR is expected to be completed by the end of 2026.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
The MICUP Cooperative Agreement outlines the shared costs and shared resources and includes a first year and second year budget to cover application expenses.

The City’s $59,200 share of expenses for FY25-26 is available in the FY 2025-2026 budget in the Water Fund - Administration Division.

The $100,000 share of expenses for FY26-27 and future financial requirements for the agreement will be reviewed and subject to City Council approval during the annual budget development process.

This action has no impact on the General Fund, or any other unrestricted funds.

5.1. The provisions of this Section 5 will apply to MICUP operations if the SWRCB issues the MICUP Permit, unless replaced by a separate signed agreement of the Parties.

5.2. Allocation. When there is Available Water, it will be initially allocated as follows:

5.2.1. City 40%, NSJWCD 40%, SEWD 20%.

5.2.2. If the City, NSJWCD or SEWD do not schedule their full proportionate allocation, the unscheduled amount will be allocated to the other Participating Agencies based EXHIBIT 1

Confidential Discussion Draft – Deliberative, Common Interest and Attorney Work Product Privilege Applies – draft date JLS 3-16-26
6 152299129.3 0082836-00007
on their allocated percentages, and this process will continue until all Available Water is scheduled or declined by the City, NSJWCD or SEWD.

5.3. Watermaster. The Participating Agencies anticipate appointing by consensus, a Watermaster. The Participating Agencies will share the cost of the Watermaster based on the 40/40/20 allocation set forth above, subject to an annual true-up based on the total MICUP water diverted by each Participating Agency, and subject to budget approval as provided in Section 4.4. The Parties anticipate the Watermaster responsibilities will include:

5.3.1. Coordinate meetings of the Participating Agencies to determine when there is Available Water. When there is Available Water, the Participating Agencies will meet and coordinate with the Watermaster at least weekly to schedule the Available Water, and more frequently as needed, consistent with this Agreement.

5.3.2. Assist the Participating Agencies to schedule diversion or rediversion of Available Water, consistent with this Agreement, and communicate with the Parties regarding operations.

5.3.3. Gather diversion information from all Parties to compile and report annually as required to the Parties and SWRCB.

5.4. Stored Water:

5.4.1. If EBMUD notifies the Watermaster that there is MICUP Stored Water in Camanche Reservoir pursuant to the EBMUD Agreement, the Watermaster will share this information with the Participating Agencies within forty-eight (48) hours.

5.4.2. Available Water may be diverted and delivered through the Mokelumne Aqueduct, only if that water is available to the Participating Agency to schedule pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the diversion and delivery is consistent with the Storage Agreement.

5.5. Restrictions on Use. The Parties agree that the purpose of MICUP is to bring additional surface water into the subbasin to help achieve sustainability and that the MICUP purpose is not served by using MICUP water in place of other surface water sources if it results in less overall surface water use in the subbasin. Therefore, the Parties will closely coordinate their respective diversions under various water rights and sources to maximize the total diversion and use of surface water in the subbasin

6. NO IMPACT ON WATER RIGHTS/FACILITIES. The Participating Agencies intend to maintain complete control and autonomy over the water rights, water supply assets and EXHIBIT 1

7. DATA AND REPORTING.

7.1. The Participating Agencies will measure all MICUP Permit diversions as required by applicable laws and regulations and report those measurements to the other Parties and the Watermaster.

7.2. The Watermaster will prepare the annual Report of Permittee for the MICUP water right and will submit a draft report to the Parties two (2) weeks before the report is due to the SWRCB. The Parties will provide comments on the draft within one (1) week, and the Watermaster will ensure the annual Report of Permittee is timely submitted by the required deadline. Any failure of the Parties to timely provide comments to the Watermaster on the draft report will be interpreted as acceptance of the draft report as the annual Report of Permittee that the Watermaster submits to the SWRCB.

8.1. Provide detailed written notice to all Parties of the dispute and schedule a meeting of all Parties within five (5) days to try to resolve the dispute. If the dispute remains unresolved after the initial meeting, the Parties shall continue to meet and confer in good faith to resolve the dispute over the course of the next thirty (30) days, which shall include at least one in person meeting including one representative from each Party.

8.2. If the dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days of the written notice, an aggrieved Party may proceed to seek resolution of the dispute as follows:

8.2.1. An aggrieved Party may file an action in Sacramento County Superior County, or a complaint with the SWRCB, as applicable, for any dispute other than a dispute subject to Section 8.2.2.

8.2.2. All disputes involving monetary damages only, with an amount in controversy of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) or less, shall be resolved through binding arbitration through JAMS or AAA, in San Joaquin County.

8.2.3. Notwithstanding the procedures set forth herein, the Parties may mutually agree, in writing, to participate in mediation or any other means of dispute resolution.

APPROVE MOTION TO AUTHORIZE CONTRACT AMENDMENT NO. 1 WITH CAROLLO

ENGINEERS, INC FOR THE WESTSIDE SEWER INTERCEPTOR CONDITION ASSESSMENT (UW20018) (CITYWIDE)

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve a motion authorizing Contract Amendment No.1 with Carollo Engineers, Inc. of Sacramento, CA, for the Westside Sewer Interceptor Condition Assessment (UW20018). If approved, Amendment No. 1 (Attachment A) will add $140,552 to the contract, bringing the total contract amount to $323,676.

It is further recommended that the City Manager be authorized to take appropriate and necessary actions to carry out the purpose and intent of this motion.

Summary
The Municipal Utilities Department (MUD) operates the City’s Wastewater Utility, which includes a sanitary sewer collection system of approximately 900 miles of gravity sewer main, 554 miles of lower lateral pipe, 27 pump stations, and 30 miles of pressurized force main that convey sewage to the Regional Wastewater Control Facility (RWCF) for treatment.

The 2022 Wastewater Master Plan Update recommended that all sanitary sewer force mains be assessed for deficiencies to improve reliability and reduce operating costs.

The City currently has an active contract with Carollo Engineers, Inc. for the Westside Sewer Interceptor Condition Assessment Project (UW20018), which has the same scope of work needed for the North
‑
South Sewer Interceptor. After issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the North ‑
South
Sewer Interceptor Condition Assessment, no proposals were received. Therefore, staff are requesting an amendment to the existing Carollo contract to add the North-South Sewer Interceptor Condition Assessment.

If approved, Amendment No. 1 will add $140,552, bringing the total contract amount to $323,676.

DISCUSSION
Background
The Westside Sewer Interceptor (WSI) conveys wastewater from North Stockton to the RWCF at 2500 Navy Drive. The North-South Sewer Interceptor (NSS) collects wastewater from Northwest Stockton, beginning at the northwest corner of the Swenson Golf Course. From there, it flows south along Interstate 5, crossing Fourteen Mile Slough and the Calaveras River before converging at the City of Stockton Page 1 of 2 Printed on 6/19/2026
powered by Legistar™340
File #: 26-0634, Version: 1
Smith Canal Pump Station. At this point, the NSS divides into two force mains that continue beneath Smith Canal and the Stockton Deep Water Channel. One line crosses Rough & Ready Island, and both lines traverse the San Joaquin River where they are subsequently conveyed to the RWCF by gravity for treatment.

The 2022 Wastewater Master Plan Update recommends that the City complete an assessment of the condition of sanitary sewer force mains citywide to identify deficiencies, improve reliability, and reduce operating costs.

On December 6, 2024, the Municipal Utilities Department (MUD) advertised an RFP for condition assessment services for the Westside Sewer Interceptor.

On July 15, 2025, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2025-07-15-1213 awarding a Professional Engineering Services Contract in the amount of $183,124 to Carollo Engineers, Inc. of Sacramento for the condition assessment of the Westside Sewer Interceptor.

On October 24, 2025, MUD staff advertised an RFP for the North-South Sewer Interceptor Condition Assessment. No proposals were submitted by December 11, 2025.

Present Situation
After evaluating the option of re-advertising, staff determined that directly negotiating with Carollo Engineers, Inc. was the most efficient path forward. This approach leverages Carollo’s ongoing work on the Westside Sewer Interceptor Condition Assessment, an identical in scope of work, which ensures continuity, efficiency, and technical consistency across both sewer systems. Staff successfully negotiated a fee of $140,552 with Carollo Engineers Inc., which is considered reasonable for a project of this size and complexity.

If approved by the City Council, Amendment No. 1 will add $140,552 to the contract with Carollo Engineers Inc., for a total contract not-to-exceed amount of $323,676.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
There are sufficient funds available in the Wastewater CIP Project UW20018, account 6518-000- 800007-610-612-00-65-000-000, for the Westside Sewer Interceptor Condition Assessment, for the proposed Amendment No. 1.

This action has no impact on the General Fund, or any other unrestricted funds.

ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE CONTRACT AMENDMENT NO. 2 WITH BRENNTAG

PACIFIC LLC TO PURCHASE SODIUM HYDROXIDE FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT (DISTRICT(S) - CITYWIDE)

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing Contract Amendment No. 2 with Brenntag Pacific LLC for the purchase of sodium hydroxide for wastewater treatment in the amount of $280,000 for a total contract amount not-to-exceed $978,000.

It is further recommended that the City Manager be authorized to take appropriate and necessary actions to carry out the purpose and intent of the resolution.

Summary
The Municipal Utilities Department (MUD) operates and maintains the Regional Wastewater Control Facility (RWCF), an advanced tertiary wastewater treatment facility with a 55 million-gallon per day (MGD) capacity, located adjacent to the San Joaquin River. The RWCF treats wastewater within the City of Stockton, special districts outside the City, and certain San Joaquin County areas before being discharged into the San Joaquin River.

Various chemical compounds are commonly used under state and federal regulations in wastewater treatment. They play an essential role in removing impurities, improving water quality, and protecting public health. MUD staff use sodium hydroxide in the wastewater treatment process to adjust pH levels, increase the alkalinity of the aeration basins, and support the removal of pollutants.

If approved by the City Council, this action will authorize Contract Amendment No. 2 with Brenntag Pacific LLC for the purchase of sodium hydroxide for wastewater treatment in the amount of $280,000 for a total contract amount not-to-exceed $978,000.

DISCUSSION
Background
Sodium hydroxide is a highly effective and cost-efficient chemical that enhances the biological treatment process, protects infrastructure, and ensures compliance with treated wastewater discharge requirements.

On May 13, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution 2025-05-13-1215, authorizing a contract with Brenntag Pacific LLC (Brenntag) in the amount of $544,000 for the purchase of sodium hydroxide for wastewater treatment.

City of Stockton Page 1 of 2 Printed on 6/19/2026
powered by Legistar™344
File #: 26-0581, Version: 1
Contract Amendment No. 1 increased the not-to-exceed amount by $154,000, bringing the total to $687,000.

Over the past year, sodium hydroxide usage at the RWCF has increased significantly. This increase is attributed to chemical use by new RWCF Modifications Project treatment processes.

If approved by the City Council, Contract Amendment No. 2 (Exhibit 1 to the Resolution) will add an additional $280,000, revising the not-to-exceed amount to $978,000.

Present Situation
After reviewing average monthly sodium hydroxide usage for the first ten months of the fiscal year, staff determined that increased demand requires an additional $280,000 in contract funding for chemical purchases.

If approved by the City Council, Contract Amendment No. 2 will increase the total contract amount not-to-exceed $978,000.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
There is sufficient budget in account number 6513-000-650005-610-000-00-65-000-000 for the Fiscal Year 2025-26 to purchase the necessary chemical.

This action has no impact on the General Fund, or any other unrestricted fund.

Summary
The Municipal Utilities Department operates 28 sewer pump stations to move wastewater from low lying areas to the Regional Wastewater Control Facility (RWCF) for treatment. The 14-Mile Slough Sanitary Sewer Pump Station, located in northwest Stockton, serves the Collection System No. 10 area and plays an important role in supporting wastewater flows. Recent analysis identified the need for system modifications and testing to improve pump performance.

If approved, this action will authorize the award of a construction contract in the amount $554,551 to Ace-High Engineering of Brentwood, CA.

DISCUSSION
Background
Sewer pump stations are essential to Stockton’s wastewater system, moving sewage from low ‑
lying
areas to higher elevations so it can reach treatment facilities and preventing backups across the city.

The 14
‑
Mile Slough Sanitary Sewer Pump Station, located in northwest Stockton, was built in the early 1990s as an interim facility for the Collection System No. 10 service area and was upgraded in City of Stockton Page 1 of 3 Printed on 6/19/2026

File #: 26-0595, Version: 1
2007 to increase capacity as development expanded.

Pump failures and rising maintenance needs have reduced the station’s reliability and prompted further evaluation and testing to identify operational issues.

When water is moving through a pipe and a pump shuts off quickly-or a valve closes fast-the sudden stop sends a shock wave through the system. That shock wave, called water hammer, can create very high pressure that may damage pipes, pumps, or fittings over time.

In September 2024, Carollo Engineers Inc. completed a surge analysis to assess the effects of water hammer on the system, and the results indicate the need for discharge modifications to support flow performance testing.

These modifications will allow safe and accurate testing of pump performance and system assumptions while reducing the risk of pump failure at this critical facility.

Present Situation
On February 27, 2026, staff advertised the project in the Stockton Record and on the City’s Bid Flash webpage. Additionally, a notice with a brief project description was mailed to 110 contractors holding a Class “C-A” license and notifications were sent Ask Stockton subscribers.

Fourteen prospective bidders attended the mandatory pre-bid conference on March 11, 2026, and field visit.

On March 26, 2026, the City Clerk received and publicly opened four sealed bids with the following results:

COMPANY NAME LOCATION BID PRICE
Ace-High Engineering Brentwood, CA $554,551.00
Power Engineering Construction Co. Alameda, CA $585,556.00 TNT Industrial Contractors, Inc. Sacramento, CA $911,809 Saboo Inc. Brentwood, CA $1,942,000.00
The bid submitted by Ace-High Engineer of Brentwood, California is regular in all aspects and complies with the project specifications.

It is recommended that the City Council award a construction contract in the amount of $554,551 to Ace-High Engineering of Brentwood, California for the 14-Mile Slough Pump Station Discharge Modifications, Project No. UW20022.

Local Employment Ordinance
The Local Preference Ordinance (Stockton Municipal Code, Section 3.68.090) is not applicable to this contract because none of the bidders have physical business locations within Stockton or San Joaquin County.

City of Stockton Page 2 of 3 Printed on 6/19/2026
powered by Legistar™350
File #: 26-0595, Version: 1
The Local Employment Ordinance (Stockton Municipal Code Section 3.68.095) does apply because the contract amount exceeds $100,000. The ordinance requires contractors to make a good ‑
faith
effort, with assistance from local labor unions or City ‑
designated community organizations, to employ
qualified Stockton residents so that at least 50 percent of all construction labor hours- including subcontractors-are performed by residents who have lived in Stockton for at least one year prior to the contract’s effective date.

The project is under $1,000,000 and not subject to the Community Workforce and Training Agreement.

Environmental Clearance
This project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Article 19, Section 15301(b), because it involves an existing public facility that provides sewerage service with negligible or no expansion of use.

The proposed project also complies with Government Code Section 65402 and the 2040 Stockton General Plan (Land Use Policy 6.3) by improving existing utility services to ensure all neighborhoods have access to well
‑
maintained public facilities and utilities that meet community needs.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
There are sufficient funds in capital improvement project UW2022 - 14-Mile Slough Pump Station Discharge Modifications, account number 6518-000-800007-610-612--00-65-000-000, to award a construction contract to Ace-High Engineering in the amount of $554,551.

This action has no impact on the General Fund, or any other unrestricted funds.

APPROVE MOTION TO EXECUTE A THREE-YEAR MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT COMMUNITY

CORPS AND THE CITY OF STOCKTON IN A TOTAL NOT-TO-EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF $140,400

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve a motion to:

1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a three-year Memorandum of Understanding Agreement (MOU) between the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Department Community Corps (SJCC) and the City of Stockton to provide general labor services in an amount not to exceed $140,400.

2. It is further recommended that the City Manager, or designee, be authorized to take appropriate and necessary actions to carry out the purpose and intent of this resolution.

Summary
The City has contracted with the SJCC for several years to provide general labor by supervised inmates for clean-ups on public property. Most recently, this type of service has been used to remove garbage, junk, and debris left by abandoned homeless encampments in various locations throughout Stockton.

On March 21, 2023, a three-year contract with SJCC was approved by Motion 2023-03-21-1205, which expired on April 8, 2026.

DISCUSSION
Background
The City has contracted with the SJCC since 2016. The previous agreement was for a three-year term and a not-to-exceed cost of $573,000. These services are beneficial to the City as a costeffective alternative to using full-time City employees for cleanups or routine maintenance. The work performed has become instrumental for the City. As a result, the agreement was renewed for 3 years.

The MOU with SJCC has proven cost-effective, as SJCC has provided all necessary services at the lowest cost.

Historically, services under this Agreement have been coordinated by the Stockton Police Department (SPD), as needed by multiple City departments, to assist with its slough and public rightof-way clean-up efforts.

City of Stockton Page 1 of 2 Printed on 6/19/2026

File #: 26-0652, Version: 1
Present Situation
Over the years, City staff identified a need to expand the locations and the frequency of work. In addition, SPD increased the number of clean-ups per week.

The SJCC provides general labor by supervised inmates. These services benefit the City as a costeffective alternative to staffing slough and public right-of-way clean-up efforts with full-time City employees. The work performed has become instrumental for the City.

The current agreement expired on April 8, 2026. City staff recommends that the City Council authorize an MOU for a three-year term ending June 23, 2029 (Attachment A), at a not-to-exceed cost of $140,400.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
The expected annual cost is $46,800, with $140,400 allocated for SPD over a three-year period. The total not-to-exceed cost of the three-year MOU is $140,400. For SPD’s allocation in FY 2026-27, funds are available in the Police Department’s Strategic Operations, Homelessness Account.

Summary

City of Stockton Page 1 of 3 Printed on 6/19/2026
powered by Legistar™423
File #: 26-0630, Version: 1
On February 12, 2026, the City advertised a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Debris Removal and Pickup Program, Project No OM-26-008. On March 4, 2026, six firms submitted proposals for this project. The Selection Committee evaluated the proposals and found Ready to Work, Stockton 209 Cares, and San Joaquin County Office of Education dba Greater Valley Conservation Corps (GVCC) were the most qualified organizations.

It is recommended that Council approve a motion authorizing the City Manager to execute three Service Contracts, with Ready to Work, Stockton 209 Cares, and GVCC, in the total amount of $2,234,219.52 (Attachments A, B, and C). These Service Contracts include one optional two-year extension for a total cumulative contract amount of $3,751,987.20.

DISCUSSION
Background
Litter and illegal dumping contribute to significant blight in Stockton. In 2021, the Clean City Initiative was launched to promote a collaborative effort among City leaders, City departments, private industry, and community volunteers to reduce Citywide trash accumulation and illegal dumping.

Public Works does not have sufficient staffing to support routine debris removal and hauling services for illegally dumped items within the City. To offset internal staffing capacity, Public Works utilizes multiple vendors who provide debris removal and hauling services for illegally dumped items. In 2025, Public Works oversaw the collective removal of over 4,180 tons of debris from public streets and approximately 1,070 tons of debris from Mormon Slough and other homeless encampments Citywide. Public Works and contracted vendors completed over 6,860 work orders last year to address illegal dumping.

To provide services more effectively, ensure timely responses, and reduce administrative demands, an RFP was developed to retain multiple service providers at set rates to assist with Clean City Initiative efforts.

Present Situation
On February 12, 2026, the City advertised an RFP for the Debris Removal and Pickup Program, Project No. OM-26-008. On March 4, 2026, six proposals were received from the following organizations:
· Jordan’s Tree Service, Inc. (Acampo, CA)
· Mathews General Engineering and Construction, Inc. (Manteca, CA) · Ready to Work (Stockton, CA)
· GVCC (Stockton, CA)
· Stockton 209 Cares (Stockton, CA)
· True Blue California, LLC dba Stockton Debris Management (Lathrop, 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, equipment, and cost. Ready to Work, Stockton 209 Cares, and GVCC were determined to be the most qualified organizations for City of Stockton Page 2 of 3 Printed on 6/19/2026
powered by Legistar™424
File #: 26-0630, Version: 1
this program. All three community partners demonstrated a clear understanding of the program's scope of work and have specific, relevant experience.

Staff negotiated fees in the amount of $660,474.88 with Ready to Work, $786,240 with Stockton 209 Cares, and $787,504.64 with GVCC to provide services for the Debris Removal and Pickup Program, Project No. OM-26-008. The community partners will provide varying levels of service based on their respective staffing capacities and total program funding available.

It is recommended that Council approve a motion authorizing the City Manager to execute three Service Contracts, with Ready to Work, Stockton 209 Cares, and GVCC, in the total amount of $2,234,219.52 (Attachments A, B, and C). These Service Contracts include one optional two-year extension for a total cumulative contract amount of $3,751,987.20.

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 sufficient staff available to perform the work required for this program.

2. Use of the RFP process is appropriate for these Service Contracts because it relies on the evaluation of professional qualifications and performance as the basis for the selection of a vendor. Use of the criteria helps ensure selection of a vendor that will provide professional, responsive, and timely service, which is in the public interest.

3. The City negotiated the contracts 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 Fiscal Year 2026-27 Public Works General Homelessness Special Services account and Alternative Work Program Special Services account, in the amount of $730,745.60, to fund the first year of the Service Contracts. Funding for the remaining years of the Service Contracts will be contingent on future annual budget appropriations.
