City Council Staff Report
September 22, 2026
From: Will Richards, Interim Municipal Services Director/ SRWA General Manager
Prepared by: David Huff, Water Quality Control Manager
Agendized by: John J. Murphy, DPA, ICMA-CM, City Manager

1. ACTION RECOMMENDED:

Motion: Approving three (3) agreements with Carollo Engineers, Inc., (City Contract No. 2027-62), CalScada LLC, (City Contract No. 2027-63), and Telstar Instruments, (City Contract No. 2027-64), for On-Call Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) programming services for RFQ 25-013, for five-year terms in amounts not to exceed a maximum compensation of $750,000 per agreement.

2. NARRATIVE:

The City of Turlock operates and maintains Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems that monitor and control water, wastewater, and storm infrastructure. The system includes the Turlock Regional Water Quality Control Facility and approximately 75 remote sites, including water wells, water distribution and booster stations, storm and sewer pump stations, and industrial discharge monitoring locations. Reliable SCADA and communication systems are essential to utility operations, process control, regulatory compliance, and timely response to equipment or communication failures.

The City's SCADA infrastructure is being modernized from the aging HSQ system to an open, industry-standard platform using Allen-Bradley Control Logix programmable logic controllers, VT Scada software, and Ethernet based communications. During and after this transition, the City needs qualified firms available on an as-needed basis to provide specialized support, maintain system reliability, and respond to routine and emergency requests.

The City currently operates multiple SCADA systems, which increases technical complexity and requires a broader range of technical experience. Using multiple qualified firms will provide the expertise needed to support the existing systems and help manage the transition to the City's standardized SCADA platform.

The requested services generally include SCADA programming and system integration, as well as network and communication support, including programming, troubleshooting, system upgrades, cybersecurity, communications, and related technical support.

To support these needs, the City issued RFQ No. 25-013 on March 11, 2026, for on-call SCADA programming, integration, and network communication support services. Proposals were due April 8, 2026. The RFQ required firms to demonstrate relevant qualifications, staffing, methodology, responsiveness, and experience with utility SCADA and industrial networking environments.

Agenda Staff Report
9/22/2026
Staff received five (5) proposals in response to the advertised RFQ from the following vendors:

1. CalScada LLC

2. Carollo Engineers, Inc.

3. Northern Digital Inc.

4. SOAS SCADA Engineering

5. Telstar Instruments
Following evaluation of responsive proposals based on qualifications of key personnel, approach to the requested scope of services, price, innovation or creative approach, and references, staff determined that approving agreements with Carollo Engineers, CalScada LLC, and Telstar Instruments is in the City's best interest. This approach provides flexibility, capacity, and access to specialized expertise for changing SCADA and network support needs.

The recommended agreements will be used on an as-needed basis and do not obligate the City to assign a minimum level of work. Individual scopes, schedules, and costs will be authorized through written task orders or work authorizations.

Vendor Contract Term Total
Compensation
Carollo Engineers, Inc. 5 years $750,000
CalScada LLC 5 years $750,000
Telstar Instruments 5 years $750,000

3. FISCAL IMPACT / BUDGET AMENDMENT:

There is no impact to the General Fund as a result of the proposed action. These contracts will be expensed to 410-51-530.43314 "Contract Help" or 420.52.551.51411 "SCADA System Upgrade", depending on the nature of the service. Because these services will be provided on an as-needed, on-call basis, the full amount of the authorized funding may not be utilized. Expenditures will be incurred only as services are requested and performed. If additional funding is needed, a budget transfer may be completed at that time, subject to applicable City budgetary policies and approval requirements.

4. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

This action is not subject to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines. Approval of the on-call professional services agreements is an organizational or administrative activity of government that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment and therefore is not considered a project. Any future task order requiring separate environmental review will be evaluated before authorization.

5. ALTERNATIVES:

A. Council could decide not to approve the agreements. This alternative is not recommended because it would reduce the City's access to specialized on-call SCADA and network support and could delay response to operational, maintenance, cybersecurity, or emergency needs.

Agenda Staff Report
9/22/2026
B. Council could direct staff to renegotiate the agreements or issue a new solicitation. This alternative is not recommended because it would delay implementation of on-call support and may not result in more favorable terms.

The granting of any progress payment by City, or the receipt thereof by Professional, or any inspection, review, approval or oral statement by any representative of City, or state certification shall not, in any way, waive, limit, or replace any certification or approval procedures normally required or lessen the liability of Professional to reperform or replace unsatisfactory Service, including, but not limited to, cases where the unsatisfactory character Docusign Envelope ID: E4BBBD17-3F6A-8EB1-82D0-D3AB9E502FD5

CITY CONTRACT NO. 2027-063 5

All Services performed by Professional must be in accordance with these laws, ordinances, codes and regulations. Professional’s failure to comply with any laws, ordinances, codes, or regulations applicable to the performance of the Services hereunder shall constitute a breach of contract. In cases where standards conflict, the standard providing the highest degree of protection shall prevail.

If a death, serious personal injury or substantial property damage occurs in connection with the performance of this Agreement, Professional shall immediately notify City's risk manager by telephone. If any accident occurs in connection with this Agreement, Professional shall promptly submit a written report to City, in such form as City may require.

In no event shall Professional take any instructions or directions from an Interested Party on any matter pertaining to the Professional's Services to be performed for City under this Agreement.

15. CONFIDENTIALITY:

Docusign Envelope ID: E4BBBD17-3F6A-8EB1-82D0-D3AB9E502FD5

Professional understands and agrees that, in the performance of Services under this Agreement or in the contemplation thereof, Professional may have access to private or confidential information that may be owned or controlled by City and that such information may contain proprietary or confidential details, the disclosure of which to third parties may be damaging to City (“Confidential Information”).

Professional shall not, either during or after the Term, disclose to any third party any Confidential Information without the prior written consent of City. If City gives Professional written authorization to make any such disclosure, Professional shall do so only within the limits and to the extent of that authorization. Professional may be directed or advised by the City Attorney on various matters relating to the performance of the Services on the Project or on other matters pertaining to the Project and, in such event, Professional agrees that it will treat all communications between itself, its employees and its subcontractors as being communications which are within the attorney-client privilege.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Professional may disclose Confidential Information required to be disclosed under law, provided that, prior to disclosure, Professional shall first give notice to City and make a reasonable effort to obtain a protective order requiring that City’s Confidential Information not be disclosed. This exception is limited to the extent disclosure is required under law.

16. EXCUSABLE DELAYS; NOTICE TO OTHER PARTY OF DELAY:

Professional shall not be in breach of this Agreement 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, explosion, natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, landslides, fires, strikes, lockouts and other labor disturbances or other catastrophic events, which are beyond the reasonable control of Professional. Force Majeure does not include: (a) Professional’s financial inability to perform; (b) Professional’s failure to obtain any necessary permits or licenses from other governmental agencies; or (c) Professional’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 the Professional.

17. ASSIGNMENT PROHIBITED:

No Party to this Agreement may assign any right or obligation pursuant to this Agreement. Any attempt or purported assignment of any right or obligation pursuant to this Agreement shall be void and of no effect.

18. SUSPENSION OF SERVICES BY CITY:

City reserves the right to suspend Professional's Services under this Agreement when City determines that it is necessary to do so. When possible, City shall give Professional notice of such suspension and Professional shall, upon receipt of said notice, suspend all Services except any Services, the completion of which is authorized by the notice given by City. If the Services are suspended by City for more than sixty (60) consecutive days, for reasons other than the fault of the Professional, the Professional shall be compensated for Services performed prior to notice of such suspension. When the Project is resumed, the Professional's compensation shall be equitably adjusted by City to provide for expenses incurred by the interruption of the Services. In this regard, Professional shall furnish to City such financial information that, in the judgment of the City Manager, is necessary to determine the reasonable value of the Services rendered by Professional during the period when Services were suspended.

If the Parties are unable to agree upon the amount of extra compensation which is due to Professional within thirty (30) days of Professional resuming Services, the amount of such additional compensation, if any, that is required Docusign Envelope ID: E4BBBD17-3F6A-8EB1-82D0-D3AB9E502FD5

CITY CONTRACT NO. 2027-063 7
to appropriately compensate the Professional for its expenses incurred by the interruption of Services may, upon the request of either Party, be determined by arbitration conducted in accordance with "ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES" of this Agreement. Such arbitration shall be commenced by the Professional no later than sixty (60) calendar days following the event which entitles the Parties to pursue arbitration unless the Parties agree in writing to an extended time period for commencement of arbitration. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all Parties shall carry on the Services and perform their duties during any arbitration proceedings, and City shall continue to make payments for the Services in progress as required by this Agreement.

19. OWNERSHIP OF WORK PRODUCT:

Any and all work, artwork, copy, posters, billboards, photographs, videotapes, audiotapes, systems designs, software, reports, designs, specifications, drawings, diagrams, surveys, source codes, professional or technical information or data, photographs, notes, letters, emails or any original works of authorship created by Professional or its subcontractors or subcontractors in connection with Services performed under this Agreement (“Products”) shall be works for hire as defined under Title 17 of the United States Code, and all copyrights in such works are the property of City. In the event it is ever determined that any Product created by Professional or its subcontractors, or subcontractors under this Agreement, are not works for hire under U.S. law, Professional hereby assigns all copyrights to such Products to City. With the prior written approval of City's point of contact for the Project, Professional may retain and use copies of such Products for reference and as documentation of its experience and capabilities.

All Products shall become the property of City irrespective of where located or stored, and Professional agrees to deliver all such documents and information to City, without charge and in whatever form it exists, on the completion of the Professional's Services hereunder. Professional shall have no ownership interest in such Products.

All work product of Professional under this Agreement, including written information which City will cause to be distributed for either internal or public circulation, including both preliminary and final drafts, shall be delivered to City in both printed and electronic form, or as may be specified in Exhibit A.

When this Agreement is terminated, Professional agrees to return to City all documents, drawings, photographs and other written or graphic material, however produced, that it received from City, its contractors or agents, in connection with the performance of its Services under this Agreement. All materials shall be returned in the same condition as received.

20. TERMINATION OF WORK BY CITY FOR ITS CONVENIENCE:

City shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time for its convenience by giving notice of such termination to Professional. In the event City shall give such notice of termination, Professional shall cease rendering Services upon receipt of said notice given as required in this Agreement. If City terminates this Agreement:

A. Professional shall deliver copies of all Products prepared by it pursuant to this Agreement.

B. If City terminates this Agreement for convenience before City issues the Notice to Proceed to Professional or before Professional commences any Services hereunder, whichever last occurs, City shall not be obligated to make any payment to Professional. If City terminates this Agreement after City has issued the Notice to Proceed to Professional and after Professional has commenced performance under this Agreement, City shall pay Professional the reasonable value of the Services rendered by Professional Docusign Envelope ID: E4BBBD17-3F6A-8EB1-82D0-D3AB9E502FD5

CITY CONTRACT NO. 2027-063 8
pursuant to this Agreement prior to termination of this Agreement. City shall not in any manner be liable for Professional's actual or projected lost profits had Professional completed the Services. Professional shall furnish to City such financial information that, in the judgment of the City Manager, is necessary to determine the reasonable value of the Services rendered by Professional prior to termination. In the event of a dispute as to the reasonable value of the Services rendered by Professional prior to termination and the Parties are unable to agree upon said amount within sixty (60) calendar days following the date of the notice of termination by City, such dispute may, upon the request of either Party, be resolved by arbitration conducted in accordance with "ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES" of this Agreement.

C. Except as provided in this Agreement, in no event shall City be liable for costs incurred by or on behalf of Professional after the date of the notice of termination.

21. ASSURANCE OF PERFORMANCE:

If, at any time, City believes Professional may not be adequately performing its obligations under this Agreement or may fail to complete the Services as required by this Agreement, City may submit a written request to Professional for written assurances of performance and a plan to correct observed deficiencies in Professional's performance. Failure to provide written assurances subsequent to such written request, constitutes grounds to declare a breach under this Agreement.

22. CANCELLATION FOR BREACH BY EITHER PARTY:

Should either Party fail to substantially perform its obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the other Party shall thereupon have the right to cancel the Agreement by giving written notice and specifying the effective date of such cancellation. If City cancels this Agreement for breach and it is subsequently determined that Professional did not fail to substantially perform its obligations in accordance with this Agreement, then cancellation for breach by City shall be deemed, and treated, as termination for convenience.

Neither Party waives the right to recover damages against the other for breach of this Agreement, including any amount necessary to compensate City for all detriment proximately caused by Professional'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 Professional.

City shall not in any manner be liable for Professional's actual or projected lost profits had Professional completed the Services required by this Agreement.

23. NON-DISCRIMINATION:

In its performance of the Services, Professional shall adhere to City’s Equal Employment Opportunity Policy which states, “The City is committed to ensuring that all qualified individuals have a full and fair opportunity to compete in all phase of the hiring process and promotion, and to enjoy the benefits of employment with the City.

All employees and applicants shall receive equal consideration and treatment in employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, marital status, amnesty, or status as a covered veteran in accordance with applicable federal or state statutes, the City’s ordinances, resolutions, rules or regulations.”
In addition, all agreements with sub-contractors will include language as required by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) that requires sub-contractors to maintain equal employment opportunity policies, and, as necessary, affirmative action policies.

24. ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES:

All claims, disputes, and other matters in question between City and Professional arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof, including claims of Professional for extra compensation for Services related to the Project, shall be decided by arbitration before a single arbitrator in accordance with the provisions of Sections 1281 to 1284.2 of the California Code of Civil Procedure (the “Arbitration Laws”) unless the Parties mutually agree otherwise. The provisions of Section 1283.05 of the Arbitration Laws apply to any arbitration proceeding except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The arbitrator shall have authority to decide all issues between the Parties including, but not limited to, claims for extras, delay and liquidated damages, if any, provided for in this Agreement, matters involving defects in the work product of the Professional, rights to payment, and whether the necessary procedures for arbitration have been followed. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final, and judgment may be entered upon it in accordance with applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Notice of the demand for arbitration shall be filed in writing with the other Party. The demand for arbitration shall be made within a reasonable time after the claim, dispute, or other matter in question has arisen, and in no event shall it be made after the date when institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such claim, dispute, or other matter in question would be barred by the applicable statute of limitation.

The Parties shall jointly appoint an arbitrator within fifteen (15) calendar days of the date of giving of the notice of the demand for arbitration. If the Parties are unable to jointly agree upon the appointment of an arbitrator within said fifteen (15) calendar day period, and do not agree in writing to extend said period for a fixed period, then either Party may seek to have the arbitrator appointed by the Superior Court of Stanislaus County in accordance with the Arbitration Laws.

If any proceeding is brought to contest the right to arbitrate and it is determined that such right exists, the losing Party shall pay all costs and attorneys' fees incurred by the prevailing party.

In addition to the other rules of law which may be applicable to any arbitration hereunder, the following shall apply:

A. Promptly upon the filing of the arbitration, each Party shall be required to set forth in writing and to serve upon each other Party a detailed statement of its contentions of fact and law.

B. All parties to the arbitration shall be entitled to the discovery procedures as provided in Section 1283.05 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

C. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted as expeditiously as possible consistent with affording reasonable discovery as provided herein.

D. These additional rules shall be implemented and applied by the arbitrator.

The costs of arbitration shall be borne by the Parties as determined by the arbitrator, but each Party shall bear its own attorney's fees associated with the dispute with the other Party and to the arbitration.

From approximately 2008 to 2017, Andrew Mikkelsen managed the development, deployment, implementation, and maintenance of the City of Turlock’s HSQ Miser system. His responsibilities included oversight of both the Miser database and the OBDC bridge, building and maintaining RTUs, tuning and replacing remote radios, and optimizing the master radio to ensure reliable communications. He also developed scripts and custom code later used by HSQ at other sites, and supported overall system performance through the creation and maintenance of slides, tags, and reports.

Statement of Qualifications
In addition, Mr. Mikkelsen managed city-wide access control systems, implemented security and access control systems for all well sites, and developed code for the secondary water system connected to the TID plant.

After leaving the City of Turlock, Mr. Mikkelsen worked with two system integrators, Nelson’s & Sons Electric and Cooper Controls. In those roles, he contributed to a wide range of SCADA system projects and expanded his development experience with Rockwell FactoryTalk View, Wonderware ArchestrA, InTouch, InduSoft, Maple Systems, and VTScada. His PLC experience includes both Rockwell and Siemens platforms, but mainly focuses on Rockwell/Allen-Bradley.

CalScada’s qualifications are particularly strong for SCADA programming and integration, legacy transition support, troubleshooting, documentation, and emergency response services.

C. Methodology
HSQ System Experience
CalScada offers direct, hands-on HSQ SCADA experience developed through long-term support of the City of Turlock’s legacy system. This includes experience with HSQ software and field hardware, the Miser database, RTUs, remote radio communications, slide development, tag management, reporting, and custom code development. CalScada is well-positioned to support continuity of operations during legacy system transition and to assist with migration-related tasks as directed by the City.

Modern SCADA Platforms
CalScada has broad experience with current industry-standard SCADA and controls platforms, including VTScada, Rockwell FactoryTalk View ME and SE, Allen-Bradley ControlLogix PLCs, Wonderware, Ignition, and related HMI and automation tools. CalScada’s approach is to deliver practical, maintainable programming and integration services that improve visibility, reliability, and operator usability across mixed-platform environments.

Programming, Integration, and Troubleshooting Approach
CalScada can support HMI screen development and revisions, PLC programming and modifications, alarm setup, tag database organization, reporting support, and integration of new or upgraded assets into existing systems. Work is performed with an emphasis on maintainability, consistency, and minimal operational disruption. Troubleshooting support includes remote diagnostics, on-site response when required, testing, startup assistance, and coordination with City operations, electricians, and engineers.

Networking and Communications Support
CalScada’s background includes support of SCADA communications systems, including remote MDS radios and Cell Backup, field communications troubleshooting, and operational coordination between controls and communications infrastructure. CalScada can assist with communications-related troubleshooting as it affects PLCs, RTUs, HMIs, and site integration, and can coordinate with City staff or communications specialists where deeper network infrastructure work is required.

Roles and Responsibilities
CalScada proposes to work closely with City staff, operations personnel, electricians, and engineers to deliver responsive and efficient task-based support. CalScada responsibilities would include programming, troubleshooting, testing, documentation, and training. City responsibilities would include identifying priorities, coordinating access, providing available background documentation, and approving task scope and completed deliverables.

Statement of Qualifications
Responsiveness and Emergency Support
CalScada is currently on call with the City of Turlock and available to respond whenever the City requires support. Recognizing that utility systems demand timely, reliable, and effective service, CalScada provides 24/7 emergency support to help ensure continuity of operations. Mr. Mikkelsen resides approximately 3.5 miles from WQC, and Google estimates travel time from his residence to the facility at approximately 10 minutes. Under typical conditions, he can be on site within one hour.

For non-emergency service requests, CalScada will respond within 24 hours, either remotely or on-site, as directed by the city. For emergency service requests, CalScada will respond within 4 hours and, whenever feasible, initiate remote troubleshooting immediately to reduce system downtime and minimize operational disruption.

Documentation, Change Management, and Training
CalScada maintains a disciplined approach to backups, change tracking, version control, and documentation updates for work performed. Operator training, as-built updates, O&M documentation support, and knowledge transfer can be provided as part of on-call task assignments so the City retains usable records and maintainable systems after each scope item is completed.

Innovative and Cost-Effective Approach
CalScada’s primary value lies in its ability to bridge legacy and modern systems through practical field knowledge and local operational familiarity. A cost-effective approach for the city is to use CalScada as an on-call programming and troubleshooting resource for HSQ legacy support and migration assistance, VTScada and FactoryTalk integration tasks, PLC programming modifications, alarm rationalization, and operator interface improvements.

12. REPRESENTATIONS OF PROFESSIONAL:

City relies upon the following representations by Professional in entering into this Agreement:

Professional understands and agrees that, in the performance of Services under this Agreement or in the contemplation thereof, Professional may have access to private or confidential information that may be owned or controlled by City and that such information may contain proprietary or confidential details, the disclosure of which to third parties may be damaging to City (“Confidential Information”).

Force Majeure does not include: (a) Professional’s financial inability to perform; (b) Professional’s failure to obtain any necessary permits or licenses from other governmental agencies; or (c) Professional’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 the Professional.

18. SUSPENSION OF SERVICES BY CITY:

City reserves the right to suspend Professional's Services under this Agreement when City determines that it is necessary to do so. When possible, City shall give Professional notice of such suspension and Professional shall, upon receipt of said notice, suspend all Services except any Services, the completion of which is authorized by the notice given by City. If the Services are suspended by City for more than sixty (60) consecutive days, for reasons other than the fault of the Professional, the Professional shall be compensated for Services performed prior to notice of such suspension. When the Project is resumed, the Professional's compensation shall be equitably adjusted by City to provide for expenses incurred by the interruption of the Services. In this regard, Professional shall furnish to City such financial information that, in the judgment of the City Manager, is necessary to determine the reasonable value of the Services rendered by Professional during the period when Services were suspended.

If the Parties are unable to agree upon the amount of extra compensation which is due to Professional within thirty (30) days of Professional resuming Services, the amount of such additional compensation, if any, that is required Docusign Envelope ID: D0005B66-2DEE-8F43-8220-66B16F63899B

CITY CONTRACT NO. 2027-064 7
to appropriately compensate the Professional for its expenses incurred by the interruption of Services may, upon the request of either Party, be determined by arbitration conducted in accordance with "ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES" of this Agreement. Such arbitration shall be commenced by the Professional no later than sixty (60) calendar days following the event which entitles the Parties to pursue arbitration unless the Parties agree in writing to an extended time period for commencement of arbitration. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all Parties shall carry on the Services and perform their duties during any arbitration proceedings, and City shall continue to make payments for the Services in progress as required by this Agreement.

19. OWNERSHIP OF WORK PRODUCT:

Any and all work, artwork, copy, posters, billboards, photographs, videotapes, audiotapes, systems designs, software, reports, designs, specifications, drawings, diagrams, surveys, source codes, professional or technical information or data, photographs, notes, letters, emails or any original works of authorship created by Professional or its subcontractors or subcontractors in connection with Services performed under this Agreement (“Products”) shall be works for hire as defined under Title 17 of the United States Code, and all copyrights in such works are the property of City. In the event it is ever determined that any Product created by Professional or its subcontractors, or subcontractors under this Agreement, are not works for hire under U.S. law, Professional hereby assigns all copyrights to such Products to City. With the prior written approval of City's point of contact for the Project, Professional may retain and use copies of such Products for reference and as documentation of its experience and capabilities.

All Products shall become the property of City irrespective of where located or stored, and Professional agrees to deliver all such documents and information to City, without charge and in whatever form it exists, on the completion of the Professional's Services hereunder. Professional shall have no ownership interest in such Products.

All work product of Professional under this Agreement, including written information which City will cause to be distributed for either internal or public circulation, including both preliminary and final drafts, shall be delivered to City in both printed and electronic form, or as may be specified in Exhibit A.

When this Agreement is terminated, Professional agrees to return to City all documents, drawings, photographs and other written or graphic material, however produced, that it received from City, its contractors or agents, in connection with the performance of its Services under this Agreement. All materials shall be returned in the same condition as received.

20. TERMINATION OF WORK BY CITY FOR ITS CONVENIENCE:

City shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time for its convenience by giving notice of such termination to Professional. In the event City shall give such notice of termination, Professional shall cease rendering Services upon receipt of said notice given as required in this Agreement. If City terminates this Agreement:

A. Professional shall deliver copies of all Products prepared by it pursuant to this Agreement.

B. If City terminates this Agreement for convenience before City issues the Notice to Proceed to Professional or before Professional commences any Services hereunder, whichever last occurs, City shall not be obligated to make any payment to Professional. If City terminates this Agreement after City has issued the Notice to Proceed to Professional and after Professional has commenced performance under this Agreement, City shall pay Professional the reasonable value of the Services rendered by Professional Docusign Envelope ID: D0005B66-2DEE-8F43-8220-66B16F63899B

CITY CONTRACT NO. 2027-064 8
pursuant to this Agreement prior to termination of this Agreement. City shall not in any manner be liable for Professional's actual or projected lost profits had Professional completed the Services. Professional shall furnish to City such financial information that, in the judgment of the City Manager, is necessary to determine the reasonable value of the Services rendered by Professional prior to termination. In the event of a dispute as to the reasonable value of the Services rendered by Professional prior to termination and the Parties are unable to agree upon said amount within sixty (60) calendar days following the date of the notice of termination by City, such dispute may, upon the request of either Party, be resolved by arbitration conducted in accordance with "ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES" of this Agreement.

C. Except as provided in this Agreement, in no event shall City be liable for costs incurred by or on behalf of Professional after the date of the notice of termination.

21. ASSURANCE OF PERFORMANCE:

If, at any time, City believes Professional may not be adequately performing its obligations under this Agreement or may fail to complete the Services as required by this Agreement, City may submit a written request to Professional for written assurances of performance and a plan to correct observed deficiencies in Professional's performance. Failure to provide written assurances subsequent to such written request, constitutes grounds to declare a breach under this Agreement.

22. CANCELLATION FOR BREACH BY EITHER PARTY:

Should either Party fail to substantially perform its obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the other Party shall thereupon have the right to cancel the Agreement by giving written notice and specifying the effective date of such cancellation. If City cancels this Agreement for breach and it is subsequently determined that Professional did not fail to substantially perform its obligations in accordance with this Agreement, then cancellation for breach by City shall be deemed, and treated, as termination for convenience.

Neither Party waives the right to recover damages against the other for breach of this Agreement, including any amount necessary to compensate City for all detriment proximately caused by Professional'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 Professional.

City shall not in any manner be liable for Professional's actual or projected lost profits had Professional completed the Services required by this Agreement.

23. NON-DISCRIMINATION:

In its performance of the Services, Professional shall adhere to City’s Equal Employment Opportunity Policy which states, “The City is committed to ensuring that all qualified individuals have a full and fair opportunity to compete in all phase of the hiring process and promotion, and to enjoy the benefits of employment with the City.

All employees and applicants shall receive equal consideration and treatment in employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, marital status, amnesty, or status as a covered veteran in accordance with applicable federal or state statutes, the City’s ordinances, resolutions, rules or regulations.”
In addition, all agreements with sub-contractors will include language as required by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) that requires sub-contractors to maintain equal employment opportunity policies, and, as necessary, affirmative action policies.

24. ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES:

All claims, disputes, and other matters in question between City and Professional arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof, including claims of Professional for extra compensation for Services related to the Project, shall be decided by arbitration before a single arbitrator in accordance with the provisions of Sections 1281 to 1284.2 of the California Code of Civil Procedure (the “Arbitration Laws”) unless the Parties mutually agree otherwise. The provisions of Section 1283.05 of the Arbitration Laws apply to any arbitration proceeding except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The arbitrator shall have authority to decide all issues between the Parties including, but not limited to, claims for extras, delay and liquidated damages, if any, provided for in this Agreement, matters involving defects in the work product of the Professional, rights to payment, and whether the necessary procedures for arbitration have been followed.

C. Methodology
Telstar approaches SCADA and network support as ongoing operational support rather than a taskbased service, recognizing industrial control systems as continuously operating infrastructure that must be maintained and improved without disruption. Our approach focuses on keeping systems available at all times while steadily improving reliability, cybersecurity, and standardization.

This is guided by three core principles:

1. Providing responsive on-call support to ensure uninterrupted 24/7 operations

2. Understanding and stabilizing existing system behavior before making changes

3. Carrying out controlled, phased upgrades aligned with operational constraints We understand the City’s SCADA environment includes legacy HSQ systems, VTSCADA migration efforts, Allen-Bradley ControlLogix PLCs, and integration with regional FactoryTalk systems. Our methodology is designed to maintain operational continuity while advancing system modernization, cybersecurity, and reliability.

Step 1: System Discovery & Operational Understanding
Upon award, Telstar will initiate a structured onboarding process that includes documentation review, field verification, and coordination with City staff. This step is critical to developing a complete understanding of the system and enabling effective on-call support from day one.

Before any modification is made, Telstar performs a comprehensive system discovery process:

1. Review of all available SCADA, PLC, and network documentation

2. Field verification across all facilities (pump stations, wells, treatment plants)

3. Validation of communication pathways and redundancy systems

4. Analysis of alarm behavior and operational workflows

5. Identification of system dependencies and failure risks Step 2: System Stabilization
Once the system is fully understood, Telstar focuses on stabilization:

1. Resolve communication inconsistencies across radio, fiber, and cellular networks

5. Confirm SCADA platform stability before modernization begins Stabilization is treated as a mandatory prerequisite to modernization.

Step 3: Phased Modernization
A key part of our approach is standardization. In many municipal systems, inconsistencies in tag naming, alarm configuration, and HMI design create long-term operational challenges. Telstar addresses this by implementing structured standards across all facilities, adopting existing developed standards.

This includes:

1. Consistent tag naming conventions and database organization

2. Standard alarm classes, priorities, and notification strategies

3. Uniform HMI screen layouts for improved operator usability

4. Modular PLC programming for easier troubleshooting and expansion Our work on the City of Vallejo, City of Pacifica, Alameda County, and NICE Mutual Water District (VTSCADA) projects is a strong example of this approach. Telstar migrated legacy SCADA systems to modernized platforms while implementing structured tag databases, improved alarm management, and standardized operator interfaces. Because systems remained operational during upgrades, commissioning required phased cutovers and iterative troubleshooting of communication and scaling issues. The result was a stable, maintainable system with significantly improved visibility and usability.

Modernization will be implemented incrementally to avoid operational disruption:

1. Gradual migration of HSQ components to VTSCADA or modern platforms

2. Parallel system operation during transition phases

3. Incremental PLC logic improvements using ControlLogix standards

4. SCADA screen redesign and operator interface standardization

5. Step-by-step validation before each phase transition This approach ensures zero interruption to operations during modernization activities.

Cybersecurity & Network Engineering Methodology
Reliable communication is fundamental to SCADA system performance. Telstar provides complete operational technology (OT) network engineering services designed specifically for industrial control environments.

Our methodology begins with understanding the existing communication architecture, including radio systems, fiber networks, and cellular connections. From there, we evaluate system performance, identify vulnerabilities, and recommend improvements focused on reliability and redundancy.

Telstar has extensive experience with GE MDS Orbit radio systems, microwave backhaul, and cellular VPN architectures. We also support fiber optic ring networks with redundancy and failover capabilities, ensuring continuous communication between remote sites and central SCADA systems.

Where possible, Telstar implements layered communication strategies, allowing systems to fail over between radio, fiber, and cellular networks as needed. This significantly improves system resilience during equipment failures or environmental disruptions.

Cybersecurity is integrated into all aspects of this work. Telstar applies industry best practices for industrial control systems, including network segmentation, firewall configuration, secure VPN access, and device hardening.

Our team also coordinates closely with City IT staff to ensure that SCADA systems meet broader organizational security requirements while maintaining operational functionality.

Recent projects, including cybersecurity assessments for the City of Chico and network implementations for other municipal clients, demonstrate Telstar’s ability to deliver secure and reliable SCADA communication systems.

Cybersecurity will be embedded into every layer of system design:

1. Separation of OT and IT networks through segmentation

2. Secure VPN-based remote access with controlled authentication

3. Firewall rule sets designed for deterministic SCADA communication

4. Hardened configurations for PLCs, servers, and network devices

5. Continuous alignment with municipal cybersecurity standards Communication systems verified or designed with redundancy as a requirement:

1. Radio + cellular failover architectures

2. Fiber ring networks with backup routing

3. Multi-path SCADA communication design

4. Elimination of single points of failure
Operational Support Model
Telstar understands that SCADA systems are mission-critical and require immediate response when issues occur.

We maintain a dedicated 24/7 on-call support structure staffed by experienced SCADA, PLC, and network professionals. Our response approach is structured to quickly assess, diagnose, and resolve issues with minimal disruption to operations.

When a service request is received, Telstar first gathers information from City staff to understand the issue and its operational impact. Based on this assessment, the request is assigned to the appropriate technical resource (programming, electrical, instrumentation, or networking).

Whenever possible, issues are first addressed remotely using secure VPN access. If on-site support is required, field personnel are dispatched immediately.

Our response commitments meet or exceed the City’s requirements:

1. Emergency response within 4 hours

2. Non-emergency response within 24 hours
Because Telstar integrates multiple disciplines within one organization, issues can be escalated seamlessly from remote diagnostics to field repair without delays associated with subcontractors.

Telstar provides continuous 24/7 support across all disciplines:

1. SCADA and PLC troubleshooting and programming support

2. Electrical and instrumentation field support

3. Network diagnostics and cybersecurity response

4. Remote VPN-based troubleshooting and monitoring

5. On-site emergency response when required
Issues are escalated internally without subcontractor delays, enabling faster restoration of service.

Roles and Responsibilities
Telstar’s delivery model is designed to minimize the burden on City staff while maintaining full transparency and control over system operations.

Telstar functions as an extension of the City’s technical team, taking responsibility for technical execution while coordinating closely with operations and other City management staff.

Telstar will lead all SCADA programming, system integration, network support, and troubleshooting efforts, while also maintaining documentation and managing system changes. We also coordinate with equipment vendors and third-party providers when required.

City staff play a role in providing system access, operational input, and approval of system changes. They also support coordination of planned outages and prioritization of improvement efforts.

This clearly defined structure ensures efficient execution while maintaining alignment with City operational needs.

Innovation & Cost-Effective Engineering Approach
Telstar’s approach to innovation is grounded in practical, field-proven strategies that improve system performance, enhance reliability, and reduce total lifecycle costs. Rather than introducing unnecessary complexity, Telstar focuses on solutions that deliver measurable operational value and can be effectively maintained by City staff over the long term.

A key component of this approach is system standardization across the platform. Many municipal SCADA systems evolve over time with inconsistent tag structures, alarm configurations, and HMI designs. These inconsistencies increase operator training requirements, slow troubleshooting, and Docusign Envelope ID: D0005B66-2DEE-8F43-8220-66B16F63899B

introduce risk during system modifications. Telstar addresses this by implementing standardized naming conventions, alarm classes, and HMI templates across the system.

This creates consistent operator experience, Reduced operator training and improved troubleshooting speed reduces engineering effort for future upgrades, and significantly improves maintainability.

Telstar also applies alarm rationalization strategies to improve operational awareness and reduce nuisance alarms. By working with City staff to evaluate alarm priorities, deadbands, delays, and notification requirements, Telstar helps ensure that alarms represent actionable conditions rather than excessive background noise.

This improves operator response time and reduces the risk of critical alarms being overlooked.

Telstar supports the City with phased modernization planning aligned with available budgets. Largescale SCADA replacements can be disruptive and capital-intensive. Telstar instead develops prioritized upgrade plans that allow the City to incrementally replace legacy HSQ system while maintaining operations. This includes identifying high-risk or obsolete components, sequencing upgrades logically, and coordinating improvements with planned maintenance or capital projects. This approach distributes cost over time and minimizes operational disruption.

Another key efficiency tool is the use of secure remote diagnostics and support. Telstar utilizes VPNbased access to perform system monitoring, troubleshooting, and minor modifications without requiring site visits. This reduces response time, lowers service costs, and allows issues to be addressed before they escalate into failures. On-site support is deployed only when necessary, ensuring efficient use of resources.

Telstar’s integrated service model is itself a major cost advantage. Because engineering, programming, electrical, instrumentation, and networking services are all performed in-house, the City avoids the delays and costs associated with coordinating multiple vendors. Issues can be diagnosed and resolved across disciplines in a single service call, significantly reducing downtime and overall project cost.

In addition, Telstar assigns dedicated system leads and maintains system familiarity over time. Having consistent personnel who understand the City’s SCADA architecture, operational preferences, and historical issues reduces troubleshooting time and improves the quality of ongoing support. This continuity also allows Telstar to proactively recommend improvements based on observed system performance.

Finally, Telstar incorporates continuous improvement practices into ongoing support services. This includes maintaining change logs, tracking recurring issues, and identifying opportunities for optimization such as communication performance tuning, PLC logic refinement, and SCADA system enhancements. These incremental improvements, implemented over time, result in a more reliable and efficient system without requiring major capital investment.

Through these strategies, Telstar provides not only responsive support, but also long-term value by improving system performance, reducing risk, and optimizing total cost of ownership for the City’s SCADA and communication infrastructure.

1. ACTION RECOMMENDED:

Motion: Authorizing staff to proceed with advertising City Project No. 25-058 “TRWQCF Primary Flotator Improvements Project” for construction bids Resolution: Finding that the equipment identified in the included table may be specified in the specifications for construction bids for City Project No. 25-058 “TRWQCF Primary Flotator Improvements Project” by a specific brand with no allowance for "or equal" products

2. NARRATIVE:

The City of Turlock owns and maintains the Turlock Regional Water Quality Control Facility (TRWQCF), which treats wastewater from the City’s population along with industries, businesses, California State University Stanislaus, the neighboring Community Service Districts of Denair and Keyes, and primary treated wastewater from the City of Ceres.

On April 28, 2020, City Council approved an Agreement with Carollo Engineers for design services to replace the Regional Water Quality Control Facility’s biogas waste flare and boiler. The scope of design services included a biogas utilization study to aid in the evaluation of renewable energy technologies, meeting emission requirements, and design of a new biogas boiler, waste flare, and related apparatus. After the study was completed, it was determined that the waste gas flare met regulatory emission requirements without modification and the related design work to replace the waste gas flare was removed from the scope of work.

The contract with Carollo Engineers was amended on June 23, 2020 to include design work for rehabilitation of the primary flotators at the facility. The facility includes three primary clarifiers which were constructed in 1971, 1977, and 2006. The primary flotators are responsible for removing most of the solids encountered in wastewater. The design for the rehabilitation of the primary flotators advanced to 95% completion. However, construction funds were not identified for the project and the contract with Carollo Engineers executed in 2020 expired in April 2025.

On February 4, 2026, Council approved a new agreement with Carollo Engineers to finish preparing design plans for the rehabilitation of primary flotators and ancillary improvements. The project plans and specifications are now ready for bidding. As the estimated project construction costs exceed one million dollars, Staff requests City Council authorization to advertise the project for construction bids pursuant to Resolution No. 2009- 247.

The City is committed to active competition in the design and construction of public works

Agenda Staff Report
9/22/2026
projects, including the manufactured products and equipment specified in the construction specifications to be procured by the construction contractor. However, there are cases where distinct advantages are gained when specifying certain equipment by a specific brand and type in the construction specifications without opportunity for substitution. City staff requests Council's approval of a resolution finding that the equipment identified in the table below may be specified in the contract documents for City Project No. 25-058 “TRWQCF Primary Flotator Improvements Project” by a specific brand with no allowance for "or equal" products.

The basis for finding the equipment in the table above to be exempt from requiring consideration of equal or substitute products in the specifications for construction bids is as follows and corresponds to the items noted in the table above.

Justification Statement #1 - Public Contract Code Section 3400(c)(2) allows for designated products to be listed in specifications for construction bids without consideration of equal or substitute products when the awarding authority makes a finding that a particular material, product, thing, or service serves the purpose of matching other products in use at this particular facility. The equipment noted above meets this criteria as similar existing equipment is in operation at the TRWQCF and obtaining similar equipment for this project will allow for ease of maintenance due to familiarity with operations and maintenance and stocking of similar replacement parts for repair.

Justification Statement #2 - Public Contract Code Section 3400(c)(3) allows for designated products to be listed in specifications for construction bids without consideration of equal or substitute products when the awarding authority makes a finding that a particular material, product, thing, or service is only available from one source. The equipment noted above meets this criteria as the intended manufacturer, Ovivo, is the original equipment manufacturer of the flotators that are being rehabilitated, and they are the sole source for components that will allow the rehabilitated flotators to be eligible for warranty coverage.

3. FISCAL IMPACT / BUDGET AMENDMENT:

No General Fund money will be used for this project.

Agenda Staff Report
9/22/2026
The project is currently being expensed to Fund 410 Sewer general ledger account 410-51- 534.51270 "Construction Project." It is estimated that total construction phase costs will total approximately seventeen million dollars ($17,000,000). The current strategy identified for providing construction funding is to issue bonds. Additional information relating to project costs and funding will be presented in the future once actual costs associated with approval of a construction contract are known.

No budget transfers are necessary at this time.

4. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

Authorization to proceed with advertisement for construction bids is not considered a "project" under the CEQA Guidelines. Therefore, no environmental determination is needed at this time. The CEQA exemption will be brought to Council at the same time as a request for approval of an agreement for construction.

5. ALTERNATIVES:

A. Council could choose to not authorize City staff to advertise the project. Staff does not recommend this alternative because the project is needed and project documents are complete and ready to be advertised.

B. Council could choose not to approve the resolution finding that the equipment and material identified in the included table may be specified in the contract documents by a specific brand with no allowance for "or equal" products. Staff does not recommend this alternative as the identified equipment is eligible for exceptions in Public Contract Code Section 3400(c), provided that the City Council makes the requested finding in the resolution.

Prepared by: Stephen Fremming, P.E., Principal Civil Engineer Agendized by: John J. Murphy, DPA, ICMA-CM, City Manager

1. ACTION RECOMMENDED:

Resolution: Increasing the authorized construction contingency amount by $10,000 from $25,284 to $35,284 for construction of City Project No. 25-049 "Animal Control Facility Improvements"

2. NARRATIVE:

On July 14, 2026 the City Council approved an agreement with California Building Structures, Inc. for construction of City Project No. 25-049 "Animal Control Facility Improvements" in the amount of $252,843 and authorized a construction contingency of $25,284 (10.0%) for potential change orders.

The project scope includes:
• Repair of select animal enclosures at both kennel buildings • Replacement of the concrete curb for the V track for the vehicle gate at the public entrance
• Reconstruction of select asphalt concrete pavement near the public entrance • Installation of a closed-circuit television (CCTV) security camera system • Replacement of several exterior doors and frames at both kennel buildings • Replacement of one shower in the modular office building • Replacement of flooring and wall base materials in the modular office building In the first couple weeks of the construction process, a few changes to the scope of work have been identified as necessary to achieve the desired outcomes of the project. The table below indicates the original authorized construction contingency, identified changes to the scope of work, and the resulting contingency balance:

Agenda Staff Report
9/22/2026
As noted in the table, staff desires to replace panels in animal enclosures numbered 11 through 18. The current scope of work includes some replacement of chain link fencing, though full panel replacement has since been identified as a need. Due to pending Change Order No. 3 exceeding the authorized contingency amount, staff is requesting approval of an additional $10,000 in construction contingency to be used for changes in the scope of work. This will address the known items above, and provide $8,576.89 in contingency for any additional items that may be discovered that require extra work.

Replacement of flooring in the animal control office is an item of interest that may require additional work. Once the existing vinyl tile flooring is demolished, staff will be able to determine if there has been any water damage to the subfloor that may require targeted replacement. Increasing the contingency balance to provide a balance for potential extra work such as subfloor replacement will allow staff to authorize timely changes in the work and avoid delays on the project. Maintaining the project schedule is of utmost concern as this project is funded by ARPA and all funds must be expensed before the end of 2026.

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."
The estimated project costs, including the addition of $10,000 to the contingency balance, is shown in the table below:

Agenda Staff Report
9/22/2026
Adequate funding is available in the project's account number 119-10-188.51270 "Construction Project" for the increased contingency amount and no additional transfer is necessary.

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.

5. ALTERNATIVES:

A. Council could choose to deny authorization of the increased contingency amount of $10,000. Staff does not recommend this alternative as increasing the authorized contingency amount will allow staff to process a change order for desired extra work known at this time, and provide flexibility to approve change orders for other extra work up to the new authorized contingency amount.

B. Council could choose to increase the authorized contingency by some other amount.

C. Council could approve Contract Change Order No. 3 in the amount of $11,750 and require staff to obtain Council's approval for subsequent contract change orders. Staff does not recommend this alternative as subsequent change orders will require approximately four to five weeks of administrative time to agendize an item for approval and could cause the project to be delayed beyond its end of year deadline for expending all construction costs.

IN THE MATTER OF INCREASING THE AUTHORIZED CONSTRUCTION CONTINGENCY AMOUNT BY $10,000 FROM $25,284 TO $35,284 FOR CONSTRUCTION OF CITY PROJECT NO. 25-049 "ANIMAL CONTROL FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS"
WHEREAS, on July 14, 2026 the City Council approved an agreement with California Building Structures, Inc. for construction of City Project No. 25-049 "Animal Control Facility Improvements" in the amount of $252,843 and authorized a construction contingency of $25,284 (10.0%) for potential change orders; and
WHEREAS, changes to the scope of work have been identified as necessary to achieve the desired outcomes of the project that exceed the current approved contingency amount for change orders; and
WHEREAS, all project costs, including the retained amount withheld until after the Notice of Completion is recorded for the project, must be expensed before the end of 2026 due to a deadline established by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding source; WHEREAS, increasing the approved contingency amount by $10,000 should allow authorized City staff to approve necessary change orders and prevent delays to the project schedule.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Turlock does hereby increase the authorized construction contingency amount by $10,000 from $25,284 to $35,284 for construction of City Project No. 25-049 "Animal Control Facility Improvements."

City Council Staff Report
September 22, 2026
From: Will Richards, Interim Municipal Services Director/ SRWA General Manager
Prepared by: Wayne York, Transit Manager
Agendized by: John J. Murphy, DPA, ICMA-CM, City Manager

1. ACTION RECOMMENDED:

Motion: Authorizing the purchase of a Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) compressor from ANGI Energy Systems, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $45,000 for City Project No. 26043 "CNG Slow Fill Core Replacement"
Resolution: Determining the proposed action is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15302

2. NARRATIVE:

The City's Transit Division uses a Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fueling station to fuel its fleet of ten heavy-duty transit buses ("Heavy-Duty Fleet"), which are the 35' Gillig buses that carry the bulk of Turlock Transit's ridership. This slow-fill fueling station ("Station") does not compress and store fuel for rapid dispensing later; rather, it has no fixed storage and slowly dispenses CNG directly to the buses over a longer period of time (overnight). This Station provides a mission-critical purpose and keeping it in a state of good repair is important to transit operations.

When the Station was originally installed, it supported a smaller vehicle fleet and the original CNG compressor ("NG50") from ANGI Energy Systems, LLC ("ANGI") was sufficient to meet that need. However, with the growth of the Heavy-Duty Fleet over time, it has increased the workload and strain on the NG50, shortening its useful life and requiring it to be replaced more often. The rest of the ANGI fueling equipment infrastructure remains in good operating order, but the NG50 is prone to fail somewhere between 4,400 - 6,000 operating hours, which is around 2.5 - 3.0 years of active use.

ANGI has phased out production of the NG50 model in lieu of other, larger units, but periodically makes more NG50 units available. City staff was recently notified that NG50 blocks are available for shipment and are on discount (10% off) for a limited time. ANGI has provided a quote (attached) for $39,600, which after tax totals $43,015.50. The City would also be responsible for actual freight charges, estimated to be approximately $1,000. The per-unit acquisition cost, inclusive of all fees and contingencies, is expected to be less than $45,000.

City staff is proposing to purchase the second of two NG50 units as part of this project: one for immediate use and one for future use.

1. The first NG50 was ordered in August 2026 to ensure a replacement was available before the existing unit reached the end of its useful life. Due to the condition of the existing unit and the potential for a significant disruption to transit operations if it failed

Agenda Staff Report
9/22/2026
before a replacement could be obtained, staff determined that proceeding with the initial purchase was the most prudent approach. The City Manager concurred, and the unit was purchased under his delegated authority. The new NG50 has since been delivered, installed, and placed into service in early September 2026.

2. Staff is now recommending the purchase of a second NG50 to be held in reserve.

Having a replacement unit on hand would allow the City to respond to either an unexpected failure of the unit currently in service or its eventual replacement at the end of its useful life. The reserve unit would be stored at the Bus Maintenance Facility until needed.

The total acquisition cost for both NG50 units under City Project No. 26043 is expected to be less than $90,000, or approximately $45,000 per unit.

Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the purchase of the second NG50 based on the following considerations:

1. Product Availability. As a discontinued item that is not regularly produced, it is frequently not readily available. As such, if the City did not have a unit in reserve and experienced a premature failure, we may not be able to secure a replacement for months, negatively impacting transit service in the meantime. ANGI has advised that these NG50 units are currently in stock and ready to ship.

2. Price. ANGI is currently offering the NG50 at a 10 percent discount. Purchasing the unit at the current price would secure those savings and reduce the City’s exposure to future price increases.

3. Operational Need. The CNG Station is essential to the operation of the Heavy-Duty Fleet. Given the limited availability of replacement NG50 units, maintaining a reserve unit would reduce the risk of an extended service disruption and support continuity of transit operations.

4. Re-sell Value. City staff has begun initial work on a Station upgrade project that would replace the existing equipment with a system that is right-sized for the current HeavyDuty Fleet. While funding for this project is secured, it's difficult to determine at this point whether it would be completed and online during the useful life of the next NG50.

If so, City staff is confident in the City's ability to re-sell the still-new unit to another party in need of it, though it would be available for City use until that determination was made.

3. FISCAL IMPACT / BUDGET AMENDMENT:

The fiscal impact of the proposed action is expected to not exceed $45,000. The total cost of City Project No. 26043, which includes the purchase of a second NG50 unit, is expected to not exceed $90,000. There is sufficient funding budgeted in the FY 26-27 municipal budget for this purchase in account 426-40-415-241-002.51240.

4. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

The proposed action is considered a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

The project consists of a replacement of an existing CNG compressor at the City's existing

Agenda Staff Report
9/22/2026
CNG fueling station. The replacement equipment will be installed within the existing facility and will continue to serve the same operational purpose as the existing compressor. The project involves negligible or no expansion of existing use and does not increase the capacity or intensity of operations at the fueling station. Therefore, the project is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15302 (Class 2 – Replacement or Reconstruction) because it involves replacement of existing equipment with equipment having substantially the same purpose and capacity at the same site.

5. ALTERNATIVES:

1. Delay the proposed purchase to a future date. City staff does not recommend this approach because the acquisition costs from ANGI increase regularly, so it's likely the City would be paying more money for the same item.

2. Reject the proposed purchase. With this approach there would be no short-term impacts, but potentially long-term impacts. City staff would install the singular unit already ordered, but would not have a replacement on-hand in the event of a failure, which could significantly and negatively impact Turlock Transit's ability to provide full service for several months.
