City Council Staff Report
June 23, 2026
From: Will Richards, Acting Municipal Services Director Prepared by: Charlotte Calvario, Engineering Project Coordinator Agendized by: Christopher Fisher, Interim City Manager
1. ACTION RECOMMENDED:
Motion: Accepting improvements for City Project No. 24-042 “Senior Center Roof & HVAC Replacement” and authorizing the City Engineer to file a Notice of Completion.
2. NARRATIVE:
The Turlock Senior Center roof system, particularly the flat roof area, has experienced ongoing deterioration and water intrusion during recent rainy seasons. While temporary repairs were previously completed to mitigate immediate leaks, the roof had reached the end of its service life and required full replacement to prevent continued damage to the facility. Additionally, several rooftop HVAC units serving the building were aging and nearing the end of their useful lives, resulting in increased maintenance needs and reduced reliability.
On September 9, 2025, the City Council approved an agreement in the amount of $272,000 with Pacific Polymers Inc., of Herald, California for construction of City Project No. 24-042 “Senior Center Roof & HVAC Replacement.” This project included removal and replacement of the existing flat roof system and the replacement of three rooftop HVAC units to help ensure the facility remains safe, dry, and comfortable for the seniors and community members who rely on the Senior Center.
All work has been completed per the contract documents. City staff requests Council's approval of authorization for the City Engineer to file a Notice of Completion.
Change Order Summary:
A contingency amount for change orders in the amount of $27,200 (10%) was approved with award of the construction agreement. All change orders were approved by the City Engineer in conformance with the City's change order policy outlined in Resolution No. 2025-007.
A summary of work included in contract change orders is provided below. • Contract Change Order 1 includes a fully tapered slope solution for the entirety of the
Agenda Staff Report
6/23/2026
roof. The project specifications required only minor tapers along low points. This change was recommended for the entire flat roof to have a tapered slope to allow for water to drain more completely and reduce the risk of future leaks.
• Contract Change Order 2 includes the installation of new flat roof drains as the existing were deteriorated.
• Contract Change Order 3 includes a credit to reconcile the remaining bid allowance for repairs as well as assess delay damages for seven (7) working days past the Substantial Completion due date.
3. FISCAL IMPACT / BUDGET AMENDMENT:
NOTE: No General Fund money was used for this project.
Fund 258 “Housing Stimulus Funds” general ledger account number 258-41-498.47218_002 “Public Improvements Senior Center” is the designated account for all project expenses during the construction phase in Fiscal Year 2025-26.
The total project costs are presented in the table below.
There is adequate funding remaining in the project's general ledger account number for remaining expenses and no additional funds are necessary or requested to be appropriated at this time.
4. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
This action is exempt from CEQA per Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines as this section exempts projects that involve negligible expansion of use of the existing facility. This project includes the repair and replacement of existing pipelines and manholes and does not include an expansion of land use.
5. ALTERNATIVES:
Council could choose to deny authorizing the City Engineer to file the Notice of Completion.
Staff does not recommend this alternative as all work has been completed in accordance with the contract documents.

Agenda Staff Report
6/23/2026
The total project cost is $3,305,170.76. Project expenses, including Change Order No. 3 (Final) totaling $171,045.60, are to be expended in Fiscal Year 2025-26. The account numbers for construction are billed at 90% to 420-52-551.51126 “Water Main/Waterline Replacement” and 10% to 414-51-536.51270 “Construction Project”. Adequate funds are available in each account and no appropriation is needed.
4. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
On May 14, 2024, the City Council determined the project to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction) as the project involves replacement.
5. ALTERNATIVES:
Council could choose to deny authorizing the City Engineer to file the Notice of Completion.
Staff does not recommend this alternative. The project is complete, and recordation of a Notice of Completion is the appropriate and customary step to formally close out the contract and establish the statutory claim periods available to any subcontractors or suppliers who provided services under the contract.

City Council Staff Report

From: Will Richards, Acting Municipal Services Director Prepared by: Janine Lee, Associate Engineer
Agendized by: Christopher Fisher, Interim City Manager
1. ACTION RECOMMENDED:
Motion: Awarding bid and approving an Agreement with Ace-High Engineering, of Brentwood, California in the amount of $50,733.00 and authorizing a construction contingency amount of $10,200.00 (20.0%)for the construction of City Project No. 25-068 "In-Plant Drain Repair" to be funded by Fund 410 "Water Quality Control”.
Resolution: Determining the award of bid for the construction of City Project No. 25-068 "InPlant Drain Repair" is exempt from the provisions of CEQA in accordance with Section 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction) of the CEQA Guidelines.
2. NARRATIVE:
The purpose of City Project No. 25-068 “In-Plant Drain Repair” is to repair the existing 24- inch sewer line located within the City’s wastewater treatment plant overflow pond to restore full functionality and prevent leakage.
The main elements of the scope of work for this project consist of:
• Excavation and exposure of the existing sewer line
• Placement of a concrete collar around the pipe
• Backfill and restoration of the disturbed area
Due to the estimated construction cost being less than $75,000, City staff solicited bid proposals from four (4) local engineering contractors with experience in underground pipe repair work in accordance with Turlock Municipal Code (TMC) 2-9-03.
On April 17, 2026, City staff received one bid. The lowest and only bid was submitted by Ace-High Engineering of Brentwood, California, in the amount of $50,733. While only one bid was received, staff did solicit bids from three (3) other potential bidders who each passed on the opportunity due to their current workload. Staff reviewed the bid for responsiveness and bidder responsibility and determined Ace-High Engineering to be the lowest responsive, responsible bidder. Staff therefore recommends approval of an agreement with Ace-High Engineering in the amount of $50,733.
3. FISCAL IMPACT / BUDGET AMENDMENT:
No General Fund money will be used for this project.
The total estimated project costs are displayed below:
Agenda Staff Report
6/23/2026
Staff has determined that a total of $71,313.50 is needed to complete the project. In Fiscal Year 2025-26, the project account number for Preliminary Engineering Management is 410- 51-534.44030_081 and has sufficient funds. The construction phase expenses will be billed to 410-51-534.51300 in Fiscal Year 2026-27. No budget appropriation is needed at this time.
4. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction) as the project involves replacement.
5. ALTERNATIVES:
A. Council could choose to reject the environmental determination. Staff does not recommend this alternative as an environmental determination is required to be made in accordance with CEQA and Section 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction) is an appropriate exemption.
B. Council could choose to reject all bids submitted for this project. Staff does not recommend this alternative because funds are available and the proposed improvements are needed.
C. Council could choose to reject all bids submitted for this project and direct City staff to publicly bid the project, notwithstanding that the project qualifies for informal bidding procedures in accordance with Turlock Municipal Code (TMC) 2-9-03. While this approach may increase competition and potentially result in lower bid pricing, City staff does not recommend this alternative as it would delay project completion by approximately two months. Although the pipeline is not currently in critical condition, the repairs are anticipated to be needed in the near future to address deteriorating infrastructure and reduce the likelihood of a more significant failure.
D. Council could approve the Agreement with Ace-High Engineering and authorize a different construction contingency amount than recommended by staff. Staff does not recommend this alternative because the proposed 20% contingency provides an appropriate balance between fiscal prudence and the need to address unforeseen field conditions without delaying the project.

Contractor further waives any and all right or remedy by way of restitution or quantum meruit for any and all extra or changed work performed without express and prior written authorization of City. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Contractor shall promptly
CITY CONTRACT NO. 2026-183 3
CITY PROJECT NO. CP 25-068
Rev. 08/2025
commence and diligently complete any change to the work subject to City's written authorization issued pursuant to this Section; Contractor shall not be relieved or excused from its prompt commencement of diligent completion of any change subject to City's written authorization by virtue of the absence or inability of Contractor and City to agree upon the extent of any adjustment to the completion schedule or Contract Price on account of such change. The issuance of a change order pursuant to this SCOPE OF WORK in connection with any change authorized by City shall not be deemed a condition precedent to Contractor's obligation to promptly commence and diligently complete any such change authorized by City hereunder. City's right to make changes shall not invalidate the Contract nor relieve Contractor of any liability or other obligations under the Contract.
Any requirement of notice of changes in the scope of work to Contractor’s surety shall be the responsibility of Contractor.

5. TIME FOR PERFORMANCE
The time fixed for the commencement of work under the Contract is within ten (10) working days after the Notice to Proceed has been issued. The work on this project shall be substantially completed on or before the expiration of ten (10) working days (the “Substantial Completion Due Date”) beginning on the first day of work or no later than the tenth day after the Notice to Proceed has been issued. All work on this project, including all punch list items, shall be completed on or before the expiration of fifteen (15) working days (the “Final Completion Due Date”) beginning on the first day of work or no later than the tenth day after the Notice to Proceed has been issued.
5.1. RIGHT OF CITY TO INCREASE WORKING DAYS
If Contractor fails to complete the Services by the Substantial and Final Completion Due Dates, the City Engineer shall have the right to increase the number of working days in the amount the City Engineer may determine will best serve the interests of City, and if the City Engineer desires to increase said number of working days, the City Engineer shall have the further right to charge Contractor and deduct from the final payment for the work the actual cost of engineering, inspection, superintendence, and other overhead expenses which are directly chargeable to Contractor, and which accrue during the period of such extension, except that the cost of the final service and preparation of the final estimates shall not be included in such charges. No extension of time for completion of Services under the Contract shall be considered unless requested by Contractor at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the Substantial and Final Completion Due Dates, in writing, to the City Engineer.
The Substantial and Final Completion Due Dates may only be changed by a contract change order. The value of any work covered by a contract change order for an adjustment in the Substantial and Final Completion Due Dates will be determined as follows:
A. Additional working days will be awarded where the amount of time is mutually agreed upon by Contractor and the City Engineer; or
B. Additional working days will be awarded where Contractor is prevented from completing any part of the work identified on the critical path and:
1. where the delay is caused by acts of public enemy, fire, floods, tsunamis, earthquakes, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, labor disputes, shortage of materials and freight embargos, provided that Contractor shall notify Engineer in writing of the causes of delay within fifteen (15) days from the beginning of that delay; or
2. where the delay is caused by actions beyond the control of Contractor; or
3. where the delay is caused by actions or failure to act by the City Engineer.
Contractor shall not be entitled to an adjustment in the Substantial and Final Completion Due Dates for delays within the control of Contractor. Delays resulting from and within the control of a subcontractor or supplier of Contractor shall be deemed to be delays within the control of Contractor.
CITY CONTRACT NO. 2026-183 5
CITY PROJECT NO. CP 25-068
Rev. 08/2025
5.2. EXCUSABLE DELAYS
Contractor shall not be in breach of the Contract in the event that performance of Services is temporarily interrupted or discontinued due to a “Force Majeure” event which is defined as: riots, wars, sabotage, civil disturbances, insurrections, or explosions; natural disasters, such as floods, earthquakes, landslides, and fires; strikes, lockouts, and other labor disturbances; or other catastrophic events, which are beyond the reasonable control of Contractor. Force Majeure does not include Contractor’s financial inability to perform, Contractor’s failure to obtain any necessary permits or licenses from other governmental agencies, or Contractor’s failure to obtain the right to use the facilities of any public utility where such failure is due solely to the acts or omissions of Contractor. If Contractor’s performance of the Services is delayed by an excusable delay, the Substantial and Final Completion Due Dates shall be extended for such reasonable time as determined by the City Engineer. Extensions in time must be requested by Contractor within fifteen (15) calendar days of the excusable delay in order to receive consideration.
5.3. EMERGENCY - ADDITIONAL TIME FOR PERFORMANCE - PROCUREMENT OF
MATERIALS
If, because of war or other declared national emergency, the federal or state government restricts, regulates, or controls the procurement and allocation of labor or materials, or both, and if solely because of said restrictions, regulations or controls, Contractor is, through no fault of Contractor, unable to perform the Services, or the work is thereby suspended or delayed, any of the following steps may be taken:
A. City may, pursuant to resolution of the City Council, grant Contractor additional time for the performance of the Contract, sufficient to compensate in time, for delay or suspension.
To qualify for such extension in time, Contractor within ten (10) days of Contractor's discovering such inability to perform, shall notify the City Engineer in writing thereof, and give specific reasons therefore; the City Engineer shall thereupon have sixty (60) days within which to procure such needed materials or labor as is specified in this agreement, or permit substitution, or provide for changes in the work in accordance with subdivision (b) of this Section.
Substituted materials, or changes in the work, or both, shall be ordered in writing by the City Engineer, and the concurrence of the City Council shall not be necessary. All reasonable expenses of such procurement incurred by the City Engineer shall be defrayed by the Contractor; or B. If such materials or labor cannot be procured through legitimate channels within sixty (60) days after the filing of the aforesaid notice, either Party may, upon thirty (30) days' written notice to the other, terminate this agreement. In such event, Contractor shall be compensated for all work executed upon a unit basis in proportion to the amount of the work completed, or upon a cost plus-ten-percent (10%) basis, whichever is the lesser. Materials on the ground, in process of fabrication or in route upon the date of notice of termination specially ordered for the Project and which cannot be utilized by Contractor, shall be compensated for by City at cost, including freight, provided Contractor shall take all steps possible to minimize this obligation; or
C. The City Council, by resolution, may suspend the Contract until the cause of inability to perform is removed for a period of not to exceed sixty (60) days.
If the Contract is not canceled, and the inability of Contractor to perform continues without fault on Contractor's part, beyond the time during which the Contract may have been suspended, as herein above
CITY CONTRACT NO. 2026-183 6
CITY PROJECT NO. CP 25-068
Rev. 08/2025
provided, the City Council may further suspend the Contract, or either Party hereto may, without incurring any liability, elect to declare the Contract terminated upon the ground of impossibility of performance. In the event City declares this agreement terminated, such declaration shall be authorized by the City Council by resolution, and Contractor shall be notified in writing thereof within five (5) days after the adoption of such resolution. Upon such termination, Contractor shall be entitled to proportionate compensation at the Contract Price for such portion of the Contract as may have been performed; or
D. City may terminate the Contract, in which case Contractor shall be entitled to proportionate compensation at the agreed rate for such portion of the Contract as may have been performed. Such termination shall be authorized by resolution of the City Council. Notice thereof shall be forthwith given in writing to Contractor, and the Contract shall be terminated upon receipt by Contractor of such notice.
In the event of the termination provided in this sub paragraph (iv), none of the covenants, conditions or provisions hereof shall apply to the Services not performed, and City shall be liable to Contractor for the proportionate compensation last herein mentioned.
5.4. DELAY DAMAGES
In the event Contractor, for any reason, fails to perform the Services to the satisfaction of the City Engineer by the Substantial Completion Due Date, City may, in accordance with Section 7203 of the Public Contract Code, in lieu of any other of its rights authorized by TERMINATION of this agreement, deduct from payments or credits due Contractor after such breach a sum equal to Four Hundred and No/100th Dollars (400.00) for each calendar day beyond the Substantial Completion Due Date. Upon Substantial Completion of the work, and in the event Contractor, for any reason, fails to perform the Services to the satisfaction of the City Engineer by the Final Completion Due Date, City may, in accordance with Section 7203 of the Public Contract Code, in lieu of any other of its rights authorized by TERMINATION of this agreement, deduct from payments or credits due Contractor after such breach a sum equal to Three Hundred and No/100th Dollars (300.00) for each calendar day beyond the Final Completion Due Date. This deduction shall not be considered a penalty but shall be considered as delay damages. The aforementioned rate of deduction is an amount agreed to by the Parties as reasonably representing additional construction engineering costs incurred by City if Contractor fails to complete the Services by the Substantial and Final Completion Due Dates. However, any deduction assessed as delay damages shall not relieve Contractor from liability for any damages or costs resulting from delays to other contractors on the project or other projects caused by a failure of the assessed Contractor to complete the Services by the Substantial and Final Completion Due Dates.
Due account shall be taken of any time extensions granted to Contractor by City. Permitting Contractor to continue work beyond the Substantial and Final Completion Due Dates shall not operate as a waiver on the part of City of any of its rights under the Contract nor shall it relieve Contractor from liability for any damages or costs resulting from delays to other contractors on the project or other projects caused by a failure of the assessed Contractor to complete the Services by the Substantial and Final Completion Due Dates.
6. TERMINATION
A. Option of City to Terminate Contract for Failure to Complete Services. If a Party should fail to perform any of its obligations hereunder within the time and in the manner herein provided, or otherwise violates any of the terms of the Contract (the “Defaulting Party”), the other Party shall give notice to the
CITY CONTRACT NO. 2026-183 7
CITY PROJECT NO. CP 25-068
Rev. 08/2025
Defaulting Party and allow the Defaulting Party ten (10) days to correct such deficiency. If the Defaulting Party does not correct such deficiency, the other Party may immediately terminate the Contract by giving written notice of such termination, stating the reason for such termination. In such event, Contractor shall be entitled to receive payment for all Services satisfactorily rendered until such termination, provided, however, there shall be deducted from such amount the amount of damage, if any, sustained by virtue of any breach of the Contract by Contractor, including Delay Damages. If payment under the Contract is based upon a lump sum in total or by individual task, payment for Services satisfactorily rendered shall be an amount which bears the same ratio to the total fees specified in this Agreement as the Services satisfactorily rendered hereunder by Contractor to the total services otherwise required to be performed for such total fee, provided, however, that there shall be deducted from such amount the amount of damage, if any sustained by City by virtue of any breach of the Contract by Contractor. Upon termination, Contractor shall deliver copies of all Work Product, as defined in OWNERSHIP OF WORK PRODUCT of this Agreement, to City. If District terminates the Contract before Contractor commences any Services hereunder, City shall not be obligated to make any payment to Contractor.
B. If Contractor should be adjudged bankrupt or if it should make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or if a receiver should be appointed on account of its insolvency, or if it or any of its subcontractors should violate any of the provisions of the Contract, City may serve written notice upon it and its surety of its intention to terminate the Contract. Such notice shall contain the reasons for City’s intention to terminate the Contract, and unless such violations shall cease within five (5) calendar days after serving of such notice, the Contract shall cease and terminate upon the expiration of said five (5) calendar days. In the event of any such termination, City shall immediately serve written notice thereof upon the surety and Contractor, and the surety shall have the right to take over and perform the Contract; provided however, that, if the surety does not give City written notice of its intention to take over and perform the Contract or does not commence performance thereof within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the service of such notice, City may take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or any other method it may deem advisable, for the account and at the expense of Contractor, and Contractor and its surety shall be jointly liable to City for any excess cost occasioned City thereby, and in such event City may, without liability for so doing, take possession of and utilize in completing the work, such materials, appliances, and other property belonging to Contractor as may be on the Project site and necessary thereof.
7. LIABILITY FOR BREACH
Neither Party waives the right to recover direct damages against the other for breach of the Contract, including any amount necessary to compensate City for all detriment proximately caused by Contractor's failure to perform its obligations hereunder or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom. City reserves the right to offset such damages against any payments owed to Contractor. City shall not, in any manner, be liable for special or consequential damages, including but not limited to Contractor's actual or projected lost profits had Contractor completed the Services required by the Contract. In the event of termination by either Party, copies of all finished or unfinished Work Product, as defined in OWNERSHIP OF WORK PRODUCT of this Agreement, shall become the property of City. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall City be liable, regardless of whether any claim is based on contract or tort, for any special,
CITY CONTRACT NO. 2026-183 8
CITY PROJECT NO. CP 25-068
Rev. 08/2025
consequential, indirect or incidental damages, including, but not limited to, lost profits or revenue, arising out of or in connection with the Contract or the Services performed in connection with the Contract.
8. COMPENSATION
City shall make payments to Contractor in accordance with the provisions of DISPUTES PERTAINING TO PAYMENT FOR WORK of the City Standards in legally executed and regularly issued warrants of City, drawn on the appropriate fund or funds as required by law and order of the City Council thereof. Contractor shall be administered a progress payment approximately every thirty (30) calendar days from the time work begins according to the payment schedule furnished by the City Engineer at the time work begins. Contractor shall provide access at all reasonable times to all reports, contract records, contract documents, contract files, and personnel necessary to audit and verify Contractor’s charges to City under this Contract.
Monthly progress payments in the amount of 95 percent (95%) of the value of the work will be made to Contractor based on the Contractor’s estimate and the schedule of prices contained in the accepted bid. The remaining 5 percent (5%) will be retained by City as partial security for the fulfillment of the Contract except that at any time after 50 percent (50%) of the work has been completed, if the City Engineer finds that satisfactory progress is being made and the Project’s critical path of work are on schedule, City may discontinue any further retention. Such discontinuance will only be made upon the written request of Contractor. City may, at any time the City Engineer finds that satisfactory progress is not being made, again institute retention of 5 percent (5%) as specified above. Payment will be made as soon as possible after the preparation of the Contractor’s estimate. City shall pay the remaining 5 percent (5%) of the value of the Services completed under this Contract, if unencumbered by retentions for claims, not sooner than the expiration of thirty-five (35) calendar days from the date of recordation of the Notice of Completion, pursuant to TERM of this agreement, and not later than sixty (60) days from the “completion” of the Services as said term is defined in Public Contract Code section 7107(c).
No estimate or payment shall be made if, in the judgment of the City Engineer, the work is not proceeding in accordance with the provisions of the Contract, or when, in his judgment, the total value of the work done since the last estimate amounts to less than $1,000. No progress payments will be made if the time allotted for the job is thirty (30) working days or less. Payment of any progress payment, or the acceptance thereof by Contractor, shall not constitute acceptance of the work performed under this Contractor, or any portion thereof, and shall in no way reduce the liability of Contractor to replace unsatisfactory work or materials, though the unsatisfactory character of such work or materials may not have been apparent or detected at the time such payment was made.
Additionally, as a precondition to City’s progress payments hereunder, Contractor shall provide to City, prior to payment, unconditional waivers and releases of stop notices pursuant to Civil Code section 8128 et seq. from each subcontractor and materials supplier. The form of said waivers and releases shall be as set forth in Civil Code section 3262(d)(2).
Pursuant to Public Contract Code section 22300 et seq., Contractor may request the right to substitute securities for any moneys withheld by City to ensure the performance required of Contractor under the Contract, or that City make payment of retentions earned directly into an escrow account established at the expense of Contractor.

PAYMENT BY FORCE ACCOUNT
1 EXHIBIT B
PAYMENT BY FORCE ACCOUNT
For work paid by force account, the City Engineer compares City’s records to Contractor’s daily force account work report. When the City Engineer and Contractor agree on the contents of the daily force account work reports, the City Engineer accepts the report and City pays for the work.
If the records differ, City pays for the work based only on the information shown on City’s records.
If a subcontractor performs work at force account, work paid at force account will be accepted at an additional 2 percent (2%) markup to the total cost of that work, including markups, as reimbursement for additional administrative costs. The markups specified in labor, materials, and equipment includes compensation for all delay costs, overhead costs, and profit. If an item's unit price is adjusted for work-character changes, City excludes Contractor’s cost of determining the adjustment. Payment for owner-operated labor and equipment is made at the market-priced invoice submitted.
A. Labor. Labor payment is full compensation for the cost of labor used in the direct performance of the work plus a fifteen percent (15%) markup, as set forth below, and consistent with California Labor Code section 1770 et seq. Force account labor payment consists of:
1. Employer payment to the worker for:
1.1 Basic hourly wage
1.2 Health and welfare

(a) Home office overhead
2 (b) Field office overhead
(c) Bond costs
(d) Profit
(e) Labor liability insurance
(f) Other fixed or administrative costs that are not costs of labor used in the direct performance of the work
B. Materials. Material payment is full compensation for materials the Contractor furnishes and uses in the work. The City Engineer determines the cost based on the material purchase price, including delivery charges, except:
1. A fifteen percent (15%) markup is added;
2. Supplier discounts are subtracted whether the Contractor takes them or not;
3. If the City Engineer believes the material purchase prices are excessive, City pays the lowest current wholesale price for a similar material quantity;
4. If Contractor procured the materials from a source Contractor wholly or partially own, the determined cost is based on the lower of the:
4.1 Price paid by the purchaser for similar materials from that source on Contract items; and
4.2 Current wholesale price for those materials;
5 If Contractor does not submit a material cost record within thirty (30) days of billing, the determined cost is based on the lowest wholesale price:

C. Equipment Rental. Equipment rental payment is full compensation for:
1. Rental equipment costs, including moving rental equipment to and from the change order work site using its own power.
2. Transport equipment costs for rental equipment that cannot be transported economically using its own power. No payment is made during transport for the transported equipment.
3. Fifteen percent (15%) percent markup.
If Contractor wants to return the equipment to a location other than its original location, the payment to move the equipment must not exceed the cost of returning the equipment to its original location. If Contractor uses the equipment for work other than work paid by force account, the transportation cost is included in the other work.
3 Before moving or loading the equipment, Contractor must obtain authorization for the equipment rental's original location.
The City Engineer determines rental costs:
1. Using rates in Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates:
1.1. By classifying equipment using manufacturer's ratings and manufacturerapproved changes.
1.2. Current during the work paid by force account.
1.3. Regardless of equipment ownership but City uses the rental document rates or minimum rental cost terms if:
1.3.1. Rented from equipment business Contractor does not own.
1.3.2. The Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates hourly rate is $10.00 per hour or less.
2. Using rates established by the City Engineer for equipment not listed in Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates. Contractor may submit cost information that helps the City Engineer establish the rental rate but City uses the rental document rates or minimum rental cost terms if:
2.1. Rented from equipment business Contractor does not own.
2.2. The City Engineer establishes a rate of $10.00 per hour or less.

2. Equipment is not available from Contractor’s normal sources or from one of Contractor’s subcontractors
3. Rented equipment is from an independent rental company
4. Proposed equipment rental rate is reasonable
4 5. The City Engineer authorizes the equipment source and the rental rate before Contractor uses the equipment

City Council Staff Report
June 23, 2026
From: Will Richards, Acting Municipal Services Director Prepared by: Stephen Fremming, P.E., Principal Civil Engineer Agendized by: Christopher Fisher, Interim City Manager
1. ACTION RECOMMENDED:
Motion: Awarding bid and approving an Agreement with Ornamental Solutions Inc., of Rancho Cordova, California in the amount of $265,900.00 and authorizing a construction contingency amount of $26,590.00 (10.0%)for the construction of City Project No. 25-048 "Security Fence Improvements at the Public Safety Facility" to be funded by Fund 119 "American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)”.
Resolution: Determining the award of bid for the construction of City Project No. 25-048 "Security Fence Improvements at the Public Safety Facility" is exempt from the provisions of CEQA in accordance with Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines.
2. NARRATIVE:
The Public Safety Facility was constructed in 2014 and features a security fence around the perimeter of the employee parking lot. The security fence consists of a low concrete masonry unit (CMU) wall with CMU pilasters and wrought-iron rails and pickets extending above the wall and between the pilasters to a height of approximately six feet. Turlock Police Department staff have expressed security concerns relating to the current height and level of visibility through the fence and desire to modify the fence to increase its height and block the view into the parking lot from the public right of way.
Before the original facility was built, a Conditional Use Permit (CUP 2008-07) was approved by the Planning Commission which included specific conditions relating to the maximum fence height and materials to be used. City staff brought forth a request to amend the original CUP to allow for a taller fence to be installed around the employee parking lot and allowing for solid metal fence panels to be installed to block the view into the parking lot. The Planning Commission voted and approved the amendment in their April 2, 2026 meeting.
Project plans and specifications were prepared by RED Inc. Architects pursuant to its on-call agreement with the City. The project scope includes:
• Removal of existing metal fence rails and pickets
• Maintain the existing CMU wall and pilasters
• Installation of solid metal panels to a height of 6 feet • Installation of outward-facing fence pickets to a height of 8 feet • Replacement of 3 pedestrian gates to match the height of the fence pickets On May 9, 2026, a Notice to Contractors was published in the Turlock Journal inviting bidders to submit proposals for construction of City Project No. 25-048 "Security Fence Improvements at the Public Safety Facility." On May 26, 2026, three bid proposals were
Agenda Staff Report

received.
BIDDER'S SUMMARY
Ornamental Solutions, Inc. $265,900
Champion Industrial Contractors $554,289
All Commercial Fence, Inc. $559,485
City staff has verified that the bid submitted by Ornamental Solutions Inc. was responsive to the proposal requirements and have determined that they are a responsible bidder. City staff recommend that Council approve an agreement with Ornamental Solutions, Inc.
3. FISCAL IMPACT / BUDGET AMENDMENT:
The project is funded in Fund 119 "American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)” account number 119-10-188.51270 "Construction Project." Project costs are estimated in the table below.
There is adequate funding in the project account number and no additional budget transfers are needed at this time.
4. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) as the project involves minor alteration of an existing public facility and negligible expansion of existing use.
Agenda Staff Report
6/23/2026
5. ALTERNATIVES:
A. Council could choose to reject the environmental determination. Staff does not recommend this alternative as an environmental determination is required to be made in accordance with CEQA and Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) is an appropriate exemption.
B. Council could choose to reject all bids submitted for this project. Staff does not recommend this alternative because funds are available, and the proposed improvements are needed.
C. Council could approve the Agreement and authorize a different construction contingency amount than recommended by staff. Staff does not recommend this alternative because the proposed 10% contingency amount for potential change orders is typical for a project of this size.

The time fixed for the commencement of work under the Contract is within ten (10) working days after the Notice to Proceed has been issued. The work on this project shall be substantially completed on or before the expiration of fifty five (55) working days (the “Substantial Completion Due Date”) beginning on the first day of work or no later than the tenth day after the Notice to Proceed has been issued. All work on this project, including all punch list items, shall be completed on or before the expiration of sixty (60) working days (the “Final Completion Due Date”) beginning on the first day of work or no later than the tenth day after the Notice to Proceed has been issued.
5.1. RIGHT OF CITY TO INCREASE WORKING DAYS
If Contractor fails to complete the Services by the Substantial and Final Completion Due Dates, the City Engineer shall have the right to increase the number of working days in the amount the City Engineer may determine will best serve the interests of City, and if the City Engineer desires to increase said number of working days, the City Engineer shall have the further right to charge Contractor and deduct from the final payment for the work the actual cost of engineering, inspection, superintendence, and other overhead expenses which are directly chargeable to Contractor, and which accrue during the period of such extension, except that the cost of the final service and preparation of the final estimates shall not be included in such charges. No extension of time for completion of Services under the Contract shall be considered unless requested by Contractor at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the Substantial and Final Completion Due Dates, in writing, to the City Engineer.
The Substantial and Final Completion Due Dates may only be changed by a contract change order. The value of any work covered by a contract change order for an adjustment in the Substantial and Final Completion Due Dates will be determined as follows:
A. Additional working days will be awarded where the amount of time is mutually agreed upon by Contractor and the City Engineer; or
B. Additional working days will be awarded where Contractor is prevented from completing any part of the work identified on the critical path and:
1. where the delay is caused by acts of public enemy, fire, floods, tsunamis, earthquakes, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, labor disputes, shortage of materials and freight embargos, provided that Contractor shall notify Engineer in writing of the causes of delay within fifteen (15) days from the beginning of that delay; or
2. where the delay is caused by actions beyond the control of Contractor; or
3. where the delay is caused by actions or failure to act by the City Engineer.
Contractor shall not be entitled to an adjustment in the Substantial and Final Completion Due Dates for delays within the control of Contractor. Delays resulting from and within the control of a subcontractor or supplier of Contractor shall be deemed to be delays within the control of Contractor.

Rev. 08/2025
5.2. EXCUSABLE DELAYS
Contractor shall not be in breach of the Contract in the event that performance of Services is temporarily interrupted or discontinued due to a “Force Majeure” event which is defined as: riots, wars, sabotage, civil disturbances, insurrections, or explosions; natural disasters, such as floods, earthquakes, landslides, and fires; strikes, lockouts, and other labor disturbances; or other catastrophic events, which are beyond the reasonable control of Contractor. Force Majeure does not include Contractor’s financial inability to perform, Contractor’s failure to obtain any necessary permits or licenses from other governmental agencies, or Contractor’s failure to obtain the right to use the facilities of any public utility where such failure is due solely to the acts or omissions of Contractor. If Contractor’s performance of the Services is delayed by an excusable delay, the Substantial and Final Completion Due Dates shall be extended for such reasonable time as determined by the City Engineer. Extensions in time must be requested by Contractor within fifteen (15) calendar days of the excusable delay in order to receive consideration.
5.3. EMERGENCY - ADDITIONAL TIME FOR PERFORMANCE - PROCUREMENT OF
MATERIALS
If, because of war or other declared national emergency, the federal or state government restricts, regulates, or controls the procurement and allocation of labor or materials, or both, and if solely because of said restrictions, regulations or controls, Contractor is, through no fault of Contractor, unable to perform the Services, or the work is thereby suspended or delayed, any of the following steps may be taken:
A. City may, pursuant to resolution of the City Council, grant Contractor additional time for the performance of the Contract, sufficient to compensate in time, for delay or suspension.
To qualify for such extension in time, Contractor within ten (10) days of Contractor's discovering such inability to perform, shall notify the City Engineer in writing thereof, and give specific reasons therefore; the City Engineer shall thereupon have sixty (60) days within which to procure such needed materials or labor as is specified in this agreement, or permit substitution, or provide for changes in the work in accordance with subdivision (b) of this Section.
Substituted materials, or changes in the work, or both, shall be ordered in writing by the City Engineer, and the concurrence of the City Council shall not be necessary. All reasonable expenses of such procurement incurred by the City Engineer shall be defrayed by the Contractor; or B. If such materials or labor cannot be procured through legitimate channels within sixty (60) days after the filing of the aforesaid notice, either Party may, upon thirty (30) days' written notice to the other, terminate this agreement. In such event, Contractor shall be compensated for all work executed upon a unit basis in proportion to the amount of the work completed, or upon a cost plus-ten-percent (10%) basis, whichever is the lesser. Materials on the ground, in process of fabrication or in route upon the date of notice of termination specially ordered for the Project and which cannot be utilized by Contractor, shall be compensated for by City at cost, including freight, provided Contractor shall take all steps possible to minimize this obligation; or
C. The City Council, by resolution, may suspend the Contract until the cause of inability to perform is removed for a period of not to exceed sixty (60) days.
If the Contract is not canceled, and the inability of Contractor to perform continues without fault on Contractor's part, beyond the time during which the Contract may have been suspended, as herein above Docusign Envelope ID: B9616CBB-10EB-8DA0-8110-B2C628ED91E7

CITY PROJECT NO. CP 25-048
Rev. 08/2025
provided, the City Council may further suspend the Contract, or either Party hereto may, without incurring any liability, elect to declare the Contract terminated upon the ground of impossibility of performance. In the event City declares this agreement terminated, such declaration shall be authorized by the City Council by resolution, and Contractor shall be notified in writing thereof within five (5) days after the adoption of such resolution. Upon such termination, Contractor shall be entitled to proportionate compensation at the Contract Price for such portion of the Contract as may have been performed; or
D. City may terminate the Contract, in which case Contractor shall be entitled to proportionate compensation at the agreed rate for such portion of the Contract as may have been performed. Such termination shall be authorized by resolution of the City Council. Notice thereof shall be forthwith given in writing to Contractor, and the Contract shall be terminated upon receipt by Contractor of such notice.
In the event of the termination provided in this sub paragraph (iv), none of the covenants, conditions or provisions hereof shall apply to the Services not performed, and City shall be liable to Contractor for the proportionate compensation last herein mentioned.
5.4. DELAY DAMAGES
In the event Contractor, for any reason, fails to perform the Services to the satisfaction of the City Engineer by the Substantial Completion Due Date, City may, in accordance with Section 7203 of the Public Contract Code, in lieu of any other of its rights authorized by TERMINATION of this agreement, deduct from payments or credits due Contractor after such breach a sum equal to One Thousand Five Hundred and No/100ths Dollars ($1,500.00) for each calendar day beyond the Substantial Completion Due Date. Upon Substantial Completion of the work, and in the event Contractor, for any reason, fails to perform the Services to the satisfaction of the City Engineer by the Final Completion Due Date, City may, in accordance with Section 7203 of the Public Contract Code, in lieu of any other of its rights authorized by TERMINATION of this agreement, deduct from payments or credits due Contractor after such breach a sum equal to Five Hundred and No/100ths Dollars ($500.00) for each calendar day beyond the Final Completion Due Date. This deduction shall not be considered a penalty but shall be considered as delay damages. The aforementioned rate of deduction is an amount agreed to by the Parties as reasonably representing additional construction engineering costs incurred by City if Contractor fails to complete the Services by the Substantial and Final Completion Due Dates. However, any deduction assessed as delay damages shall not relieve Contractor from liability for any damages or costs resulting from delays to other contractors on the project or other projects caused by a failure of the assessed Contractor to complete the Services by the Substantial and Final Completion Due Dates.
Due account shall be taken of any time extensions granted to Contractor by City. Permitting Contractor to continue work beyond the Substantial and Final Completion Due Dates shall not operate as a waiver on the part of City of any of its rights under the Contract nor shall it relieve Contractor from liability for any damages or costs resulting from delays to other contractors on the project or other projects caused by a failure of the assessed Contractor to complete the Services by the Substantial and Final Completion Due Dates.
6. TERMINATION
A. Option of City to Terminate Contract for Failure to Complete Services. If a Party should fail to perform any of its obligations hereunder within the time and in the manner herein provided, or otherwise violates any of the terms of the Contract (the “Defaulting Party”), the other Party shall give notice to the Docusign Envelope ID: B9616CBB-10EB-8DA0-8110-B2C628ED91E7

CITY PROJECT NO. CP 25-048
Rev. 08/2025
Defaulting Party and allow the Defaulting Party ten (10) days to correct such deficiency. If the Defaulting Party does not correct such deficiency, the other Party may immediately terminate the Contract by giving written notice of such termination, stating the reason for such termination. In such event, Contractor shall be entitled to receive payment for all Services satisfactorily rendered until such termination, provided, however, there shall be deducted from such amount the amount of damage, if any, sustained by virtue of any breach of the Contract by Contractor, including Delay Damages. If payment under the Contract is based upon a lump sum in total or by individual task, payment for Services satisfactorily rendered shall be an amount which bears the same ratio to the total fees specified in this Agreement as the Services satisfactorily rendered hereunder by Contractor to the total services otherwise required to be performed for such total fee, provided, however, that there shall be deducted from such amount the amount of damage, if any sustained by City by virtue of any breach of the Contract by Contractor. Upon termination, Contractor shall deliver copies of all Work Product, as defined in OWNERSHIP OF WORK PRODUCT of this Agreement, to City. If District terminates the Contract before Contractor commences any Services hereunder, City shall not be obligated to make any payment to Contractor.
B. If Contractor should be adjudged bankrupt or if it should make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or if a receiver should be appointed on account of its insolvency, or if it or any of its subcontractors should violate any of the provisions of the Contract, City may serve written notice upon it and its surety of its intention to terminate the Contract. Such notice shall contain the reasons for City’s intention to terminate the Contract, and unless such violations shall cease within five (5) calendar days after serving of such notice, the Contract shall cease and terminate upon the expiration of said five (5) calendar days. In the event of any such termination, City shall immediately serve written notice thereof upon the surety and Contractor, and the surety shall have the right to take over and perform the Contract; provided however, that, if the surety does not give City written notice of its intention to take over and perform the Contract or does not commence performance thereof within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the service of such notice, City may take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or any other method it may deem advisable, for the account and at the expense of Contractor, and Contractor and its surety shall be jointly liable to City for any excess cost occasioned City thereby, and in such event City may, without liability for so doing, take possession of and utilize in completing the work, such materials, appliances, and other property belonging to Contractor as may be on the Project site and necessary thereof.
7. LIABILITY FOR BREACH
Neither Party waives the right to recover direct damages against the other for breach of the Contract, including any amount necessary to compensate City for all detriment proximately caused by Contractor's failure to perform its obligations hereunder or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom. City reserves the right to offset such damages against any payments owed to Contractor. City shall not, in any manner, be liable for special or consequential damages, including but not limited to Contractor's actual or projected lost profits had Contractor completed the Services required by the Contract. In the event of termination by either Party, copies of all finished or unfinished Work Product, as defined in OWNERSHIP OF WORK PRODUCT of this Agreement, shall become the property of City. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall City be liable, regardless of whether any claim is based on contract or tort, for any special, Docusign Envelope ID: B9616CBB-10EB-8DA0-8110-B2C628ED91E7

Monthly progress payments in the amount of 95 percent (95%) of the value of the work will be made to Contractor based on the Contractor’s estimate and the schedule of prices contained in the accepted bid.

No progress payments will be made if the time allotted for the job is thirty (30) working days or less. Payment of any progress payment, or the acceptance thereof by Contractor, shall not constitute acceptance of the work performed under this Contractor, or any portion thereof, and shall in no way reduce the liability of Contractor to replace unsatisfactory work or materials, though the unsatisfactory character of such work or materials may not have been apparent or detected at the time such payment was made.
Additionally, as a precondition to City’s progress payments hereunder, Contractor shall provide to City, prior to payment, unconditional waivers and releases of stop notices pursuant to Civil Code section 8128 et seq. from each subcontractor and materials supplier. The form of said waivers and releases shall be as set forth in Civil Code section 3262(d)(2).
Pursuant to Public Contract Code section 22300 et seq., Contractor may request the right to substitute securities for any moneys withheld by City to ensure the performance required of Contractor under the Contract, or that City make payment of retentions earned directly into an escrow account established at the expense of Contractor.

EXHIBIT B PAYMENT BY FORCE ACCOUNT
Docusign Envelope ID: B9616CBB-10EB-8DA0-8110-B2C628ED91E7
1 EXHIBIT B
PAYMENT BY FORCE ACCOUNT
For work paid by force account, the City Engineer compares City’s records to Contractor’s daily force account work report. When the City Engineer and Contractor agree on the contents of the daily force account work reports, the City Engineer accepts the report and City pays for the work.
If the records differ, City pays for the work based only on the information shown on City’s records.
If a subcontractor performs work at force account, work paid at force account will be accepted at an additional 2 percent (2%) markup to the total cost of that work, including markups, as reimbursement for additional administrative costs. The markups specified in labor, materials, and equipment includes compensation for all delay costs, overhead costs, and profit. If an item's unit price is adjusted for work-character changes, City excludes Contractor’s cost of determining the adjustment. Payment for owner-operated labor and equipment is made at the market-priced invoice submitted.
A. Labor. Labor payment is full compensation for the cost of labor used in the direct performance of the work plus a fifteen percent (15%) markup, as set forth below, and consistent with California Labor Code section 1770 et seq. Force account labor payment consists of:
1. Employer payment to the worker for:
1.1 Basic hourly wage
1.2 Health and welfare
1.3 Pension

(a) Home office overhead
Docusign Envelope ID: B9616CBB-10EB-8DA0-8110-B2C628ED91E7
2 (b) Field office overhead
(c) Bond costs
(d) Profit
(e) Labor liability insurance
(f) Other fixed or administrative costs that are not costs of labor used in the direct performance of the work
B. Materials. Material payment is full compensation for materials the Contractor furnishes and uses in the work. The City Engineer determines the cost based on the material purchase price, including delivery charges, except:
1. A fifteen percent (15%) markup is added;
2. Supplier discounts are subtracted whether the Contractor takes them or not;
3. If the City Engineer believes the material purchase prices are excessive, City pays the lowest current wholesale price for a similar material quantity;
4. If Contractor procured the materials from a source Contractor wholly or partially own, the determined cost is based on the lower of the:
4.1 Price paid by the purchaser for similar materials from that source on Contract items; and
4.2 Current wholesale price for those materials;
5 If Contractor does not submit a material cost record within thirty (30) days of billing, the determined cost is based on the lowest wholesale price:
1.1 During that period
1.2 In the quantities used
C. Equipment Rental. Equipment rental payment is full compensation for:
1. Rental equipment costs, including moving rental equipment to and from the change order work site using its own power.
2. Transport equipment costs for rental equipment that cannot be transported economically using its own power. No payment is made during transport for the transported equipment.
3. Fifteen percent (15%) percent markup.
If Contractor wants to return the equipment to a location other than its original location, the payment to move the equipment must not exceed the cost of returning the equipment to its original location. If Contractor uses the equipment for work other than work paid by force account, the transportation cost is included in the other work.
Docusign Envelope ID: B9616CBB-10EB-8DA0-8110-B2C628ED91E7
3 Before moving or loading the equipment, Contractor must obtain authorization for the equipment rental's original location.
The City Engineer determines rental costs:
1. Using rates in Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates:
1.1. By classifying equipment using manufacturer's ratings and manufacturerapproved changes.
1.2. Current during the work paid by force account.
1.3. Regardless of equipment ownership but City uses the rental document rates or minimum rental cost terms if:
1.3.1. Rented from equipment business Contractor does not own.
1.3.2. The Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates hourly rate is $10.00 per hour or less.
2. Using rates established by the City Engineer for equipment not listed in Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates. Contractor may submit cost information that helps the City Engineer establish the rental rate but City uses the rental document rates or minimum rental cost terms if:
2.1. Rented from equipment business Contractor does not own.
2.2. The City Engineer establishes a rate of $10.00 per hour or less.
3. Using rates for transport equipment not exceeding the hourly rates charged by established haulers.

2. Equipment is not available from Contractor’s normal sources or from one of Contractor’s subcontractors
3. Rented equipment is from an independent rental company
4. Proposed equipment rental rate is reasonable

4 5. The City Engineer authorizes the equipment source and the rental rate before Contractor uses the equipment
D. Equipment on the Job Site. For equipment on the job site at the time required to perform work paid by force account, the time paid is the time:
1. To move the equipment to the location of work paid by force account plus an equal amount of time to move the equipment to another location on the job site when the work paid by force account is completed
2. To load and unload equipment
3. Equipment is operated to perform work paid by force account and:
3.1. Hourly rates are paid in 1/2-hour increments
3.2. Daily rates are paid in 1/2-day increments
E. Equipment Not on the Job Site Required for Original-Contract Work. For equipment not on the job site at the time required to perform work paid by force account and required for original-Contract work, the time paid is the time the equipment is operated to perform work paid by force account and the time to move the equipment to a location on the job site when the work paid by force account is completed.
