DISCUSSION
The General Services Department established On-Call Electrician Maintenance and Repair Services in 2024 to provide quick maintenance services, repair and/or replacements as needed for City-owned buildings. Initial three-year contracts had annual limits of $250,000. Because the original amount was within City Council’s delegated threshold in City Policy 3, it was approved by the City Manager. With approval of the amendments this threshold will be exceeded and now requires Council approval going forward. The city will issue task orders for each project request based on scope of work, qualifications, work schedules, and fee reasonableness.

These on-call contracts support expedited electrician and maintenance services for facility maintenance, renovations, and new projects across a wide range of City properties such as City Hall, public safety buildings, community centers, parks, and infrastructure.

ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
The proposed action qualifies for exemption from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15301. This exemption applies to activities that involve the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alterations of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, provided there is negligible or no expansion of use beyond what was in place at the time of the lead agency's determination. It includes interior or exterior modifications, such as installing interior partitions, plumbing, and electrical conveyances; maintenance of existing infrastructure like highways, streets, sidewalks, gutters, and trails; and the restoration or rehabilitation of deteriorated or damaged structures or equipment to meet current public health and safety standards, unless substantial damage from environmental hazards, like earthquakes or landslides, is identified.

Under these circumstances, however, the CONTRACTOR and its surety will be credited with the amount of money retained, toward any amount by which the cost of completion exceeds the Agreement Sum and any amount authorized for extra services.

Termination for cause will not affect or terminate any of the rights of the CITY as against the CONTRACTOR or its surety then existing, or which may thereafter accrue because of the default; this provision is in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the CITY under law.

C. Termination for Breach of Law

4. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT
A. Termination by CITY for Convenience.

CITY may, at any time, terminate the Agreement for CITY's convenience and without cause.
2 Upon receipt of written notice from CITY of such termination for CITY's convenience, CONTRACTOR will:
cease operations as directed by CITY in the notice;
take actions necessary, or that CITY may direct, for the protection and preservation of the work; and
except for work directed to be performed prior to the effective date of termination stated in the notice, terminate all existing subcontracts and purchase orders and enter into no further subcontracts and purchase orders.
ln case of such termination for CITY's convenience,
CONTRACTOR will be entitled to receive payment for work executed; and costs incurred by reason of such termination, along with reasonable overhead and profit on the work not executed.

B. Termination for Cause.
lf either party fails to perform any term, covenant or condition in this Agreement and that failure continues for 15 calendar days after the nondefaulting party gives the defaulting party written notice of the failure to perform, this Agreement may be terminated for cause; provided, however, that if during the notice period the defaulting party has promptly commenced and continues diligent efforts to remedy the default, the defaulting party will have such additional time as is reasonably necessary to remedy the default.
ln the event this Agreement is terminated for cause by the default of the CONTRACTOR, the CITY may, at the expense of the
CONTRACTOR and its surety, complete this Agreement or cause it to be completed.
