CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

DATE: April 14, 2020

TO: City Council/City Manager

FROM: Debbie Chamberlain, Community Development Director

By: Cindy Yee, Senior Planner

SUBJECT: MINUTE ORDER NO. 2020-005 - Ratifying the Architectural Review

Board Appointments

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Staff recommends that the City Council approve this Minute Order ratifying the re-appointment

of two regular members of the Architectural Review Board.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION

In 2004, the City Council amended an ordinance modifying the selection process regarding the

appointment of Architectural Review Board (ARB) members and granting the Planning Director

the ability to make appointments to the ARB, rather than the City Council, in an effort to

streamline the recruitment process.

In January 2008, the City Council amended the Municipal Code through Ordinance No. 411 to

reduce the Board membership from five regular members and two alternate members to three

regular members and up to three alternate members.

At the end of February 2020, two regular board members and one alternate board member terms

expired. The City Clerk listed the ARB vacancies on the City’s web site and the City’s official

posting locations soliciting applications for ARB. Two applications were received by the City

Clerk for the Architectural Review Board. The Community Development Director has reviewed

the applications and recommends ratification of the re-appointment of Warren Fujimura and Mar

Gosiengfiao to the Architectural Review Board as regular members to serve a term ending

February 28, 2023. The alternate board member position remains open until filled.

FISCAL ANALYSIS

There is no fiscal impact as a result of a candidate appointment.

STEPS FOLLOWING APPROVAL

Staff would notify Warren Fujimura and Mar Gosiengfiao of their re-appointment to the ARB to

serve a two year term through February 2023.

FROM: Maria Fierner, Public Works Director

By: Daniel Chavarria, Senior Civil Engineer

SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 2020-027 - Adopting a List of Projects for FY 2020/21

Funded by Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

As a requirement of Senate Bill 1 (SB-1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Act),

each eligible city shall submit a list of projects that are proposed to be funded under the Act.

With this Resolution, the City complies with this requirement by providing a list of projects to be

funded by SB-1 in FY 2020/21. No additional funding is being requested.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Staff recommends approval of this Resolution adopting a list of projects for FY 2020/21 funded

by Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.


On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed SB-1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.

Per the Act, Section 2034(a)(1) of the Streets and Highways Code requires that prior to

apportionment of funds, each eligible city shall submit a list of projects that are proposed to be

funded under the Act. This list must be submitted annually to the California Transportation

Commission (CTC) by May 1st. Per the requirements of SB-1, the list must include:

a project description;

location;

schedule for completion; and

estimated useful life.

Also per the Act, the list shall not limit flexible use of funds, provided the use is for eligible

projects. Once funds are spent, the City is required to document the actual work completed.

A complete list of projects for FY 2020/21 funded by Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and

Accountability Act of 2017, is presented in Attachment A. The treatments are based on the

following general categories:

5.2

Packet Pg. 8

Light Maintenance - typically consists of slurry seals, microsurfacing, and associated

work;

Heavy Maintenance - same as above, with more extensive digouts, plus thin maintenance

overlays;

Light Rehabilitation - thin overlays and thin mill and fill repairs; and

Heavy Rehabilitation - thick overlays, full depth reclamation, and cold in-place recycling.

A full presentation of the Five-Year Pavement Repair Plan and funding analysis will be

presented at a future Infrastructure Committee Meeting.

FISCAL ANALYSIS

There is no direct fiscal impact to the City as a result of this action. The City of San Ramon will

receive an estimated $1,585,000 in Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA)

funding in FY 2020/21 from SB-1.


Staff will submit to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) the list of projects for FY

2020/21 funded by Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. Following

completion of the Project, staff will report all actual expenditures.

WHEREAS, this is the fourth year in which the City of San Ramon is receiving SB-1

funding and will enable the City to continue essential road maintenance and rehabilitation

projects; and

WHEREAS, the City of San Ramon used a Pavement Management System to develop

the SB-1 project list to ensure revenues are being used on the most high-priority and cost-

effective projects that also meet the community’s priorities for transportation investment; and

WHEREAS, the funding from SB-1 will help the City of San Ramon maintain and

rehabilitate arterial, collector, and residential streets this year and other similar projects into the

future; and

WHEREAS, the 2018 California Statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment

SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 2020-028 - Authorizing the Mayor to Execute an

Agreement with West Coast Arborists for Tree Maintenance Services for a

Five-Year Contract Beginning July 1, 2020, in an Amount Not to Exceed

$6,500,000

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

West Coast Arborists has been the established tree contractor for San Ramon since the early

2000’s. The existing agreement with West Coast Arborists began on July 1, 2015 and will expire

on June 30, 2020. West Coast Arborists hosts the City’s current tree inventory through the Arbor

Access database and updates maintenance records of the approximate 48,000 City-owned tress.

Due to the proprietary nature of the Arbor Access GPS tree inventory management program,

staff is recommending to execute a five-year agreement with West Coast Arborists as the sole

source contractor for Tree Maintenance Services to begin July 1, 2020.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Staff recommends approval of this Resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an agreement

with West Coast Arborists for tree maintenance services for a five-year contract beginning July

1, 2020, in an amount not to exceed $6,500,000.


The City currently contracts with West Coast Arborists for the provision of tree maintenance

services: tree trimming, tree stump grinding and tree removal, emergency response for downed

trees, and provides the City with a tree inventory GPS management software package. West

Coast Arborists is currently the sole source contractor for tree maintenance services because they

currently host the City’s tree inventory through Arbor Access. Arbor Access is a West Coast

Arborists self-proprietary GPS tree inventory management program used by the City. This

online program offers functionality from the office or the field using a mobile app. It allows

staff to maintain and track work history related to tree maintenance work types, schedule future

work and manage your allocated budget.

On April 28, 2015, Council adopted Resolution No. 2015-022, authorizing the Mayor to execute

5.3

Packet Pg. 14

an amendment to the agreement with West Coast Arborists for tree maintenance services,

extending the terms and conditions for an additional five, one-year contract extensions in an

initial amount not to exceed $900,000 and a total ten-year amount not to exceed $6,960,000.

The current agreement with West Coast Arborists expires June 30, 2020, with no renewals left.

Staff recommends a new Agreement for five (5) years, which will secure the current lower rates.

Staff believes this Agreement will be beneficial to the City for the following reasons:

The City and WCA have established a successful long term partnership. WCA has

worked closely with City staff to maintain high service levels since the early 2000’s.

WCA has demonstrated excellent service delivery, including flexibility in scheduling

work and working around inclement weather.

WCA has gained intricate knowledge of the unique geography of the sites of the City and

demonstrates a clear understanding of the contract specifications and service level

expected by the City and community. Their expertise minimizes the need for extensive

oversight by the staff.

WCA was awarded their contract based on a sole source justification because they

maintain the City’s tree inventory database, Arbor Access, a proprietary software

program.

WCA has proven to have the necessary equipment needed to effectively meet the contract

specifications.

WCA has demonstrated, through past performance, that they have the ability and

commitment to provide the requested services at an exceptional level, at a cost that is

reasonable to the City.

WCA has agreed to continue to provide the current service levels with a maximum 3%

annual CPI increase each year, for the next five (5) years through FY 2025/26. Currently

WCA is operating at below market value pricing for tree services compared to

surrounding agencies and clients they serve.

WCA hosts the City’s current tree inventory through the Arbor Access database and updates

maintenance records on approximately 48,000 City-owned trees.

FISCAL ANALYSIS

The proposed contract amount of $6,500,000 includes: $5,425,000 for routine tree maintenance

services, that is funded through the Operating Budget for Parks and Landscape, Dougherty

Valley CSA, Landscape and Lighting Districts, and CIP 935564; and a contingency of

$1,075,000 for new areas of acceptance in Dougherty Valley, Citywide areas, and emergency

unforeseen work, if necessary for the five-year contract period.


Staff will forward the agreement for signatures to West Coast Arborists for execution. Copies of

the executed agreement shall be forwarded to the Public Works Department. The Public Works

Department will monitor the performance of the contractor throughout the five-year agreement.

Agreement with Commercial Pump Service, Inc. for Irrigation Booster

Pump Maintenance, Repairs, and Replacements for a Five-Year Contract

Beginning July 1, 2020, in an Amount Not to Exceed $965,000

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The City currently utilizes Commercial Pump Service, Inc. for irrigation booster pump

maintenance, repair, and replacements. The existing agreement with Commercial Pump Service,

Inc. began on September 22, 2015 and will expire on June 30, 2020. Staff recommends

continuing to utilize Commercial Pump Service, Inc. for the maintenance, repairs, and

replacements. Commercial Pump Service, Inc. continues to be the only vendor in Northern

California, which is certified by the booster pump manufacturer, Flowtronex, subsequently

making them a sole source provider for the maintenance and repair of Flowtronex booster

pumps. Flowtronex booster pumps have been specified and used for park and landscape

irrigation systems throughout the City for over twenty years and have proven to be very reliable.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Staff recommends approval of this Resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an Agreement

with Commercial Pump Service, Inc. for irrigation booster pump maintenance, repairs, and

replacements for a five-year contract beginning July 1, 2020 in an amount not to exceed

$965,000.


On September 22, 2015, City Council approved Resolution No. 2015-094 authorizing the Mayor

to execute an agreement with Commercial Pump Service, Inc. for Irrigation Booster Pump

maintenance, repairs, and replacements, in an initial annual amount not to excel $195,000 and a

five-year cumulative total amount not to exceed $395,000. The Public Works Department uses

Commercial Pump Service, Inc. for the annual maintenance, repair, and replacement of irrigation

booster pumps throughout the City’s parks and landscape areas. The existing agreement will

expire on June 30, 2020. Commercial Pump Service, Inc. continues to be the only vendor in

Northern California, certified by the booster pump manufacturer, Flowtronex, subsequently

5.4

making them a sole source provider for the maintenance and repair of Flowtronex booster

pumps. In addition, Flowtronex booster pumps have been specified and used for park and

landscape irrigation systems throughout the City for over twenty years and have proven to be

very reliable. Commercial Pump Service, Inc. has demonstrated through past performance that

they have the ability and commitment to provide the requested services at an exceptional level, at

a cost that is reasonable to the City.

There are currently over fifty booster pumps in the City. Flowtronex booster pumps have a life

expectancy of ten years. Annual maintenance and repair services keep them operating safely and

efficiently. Proactively scheduling routine maintenance, repair, and replacement of booster

pumps is vital for safe and efficient operation. The booster pumps are required to supply

adequate irrigation water volume and pressure to approximately 200 acres of landscape and

parks.

FISCAL ANALYSIS

In previous years, the Public Works Department has budgeted $16,600 annually for booster

pump maintenance and repair services. In addition, there are several booster pumps in

Dougherty Valley and General Fund parks, Dougherty Valley landscape, and Landscape and

Lighting Districts that have exceeded their useful life and are in need of replacement. These

replacement funds come from Dougherty Valley CSA, Park Development, and Landscape and

Lighting Districts. Annual booster pump maintenance, repair, and replacement services will

exceed $100,000 starting in FY 2020/2021. It is necessary to enter into an agreement with

Commercial Pump Service, Inc. to continue ongoing services to remain in compliance with the

City’s Purchasing Policy.

If approved, the agreement with Commercial Pump Service, Inc. would be a five-year

cumulative amount not to exceed $965,000.


The City will forward the Agreement for signatures to Commercial Pump Service, Inc. for

execution. Copies of the executed agreement shall be forwarded to the Public Works

Department. The Public Works Department will monitor the performance of the contractor

throughout the five-year agreement.

Agreement with Sonitrol for Facility Security Alarm and Monitoring

Services for a Five –Year Contract Beginning July 1, 2020, in an Amount Not

to Exceed $900,000

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Sonitrol has been the established vendor for facility security alarm and monitoring services since

the construction and design of City facilities in the 1980s. The City of San Ramon has used

Sonitrol for alarm services for City-owned and maintained facilities. The current contract

agreement expires on June 30, 2020. Due to the proprietary nature of Sonitrol’s equipment that is

installed in City facilities, staff is recommending awarding a new five-year agreement with

Sonitrol as the sole source contractor for alarm and monitoring services to begin July 1, 2020.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Staff recommends approval of this Resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an agreement

with Sonitrol for facility security alarm and monitoring services for a five-year contract

beginning July 1, 2020, in an amount not to exceed $900,000.


On June 8, 2010, Council adopted Resolution No. 2010-065, authorizing a five-year cumulative

agreement with Sonitrol for alarm services in the amount of $900,000. The City of San Ramon

has used Sonitrol for alarm services for City-owned and maintained facilities, which includes:

City Hall, San Ramon Service Center, Dougherty Valley Service Center, Glass House, San

Ramon Olympic Pool and Aquatic Park, Alcosta Senior and Community Center, San Ramon

Community Center, San Ramon Library, Dougherty Station Library, Dougherty Station

Community Center, Amador Rancho Community Center and Permit Center/Police Department.

The existing equipment can only be monitored and serviced by Sonitrol. Sonitrol has

successfully met the specifications of the current contract, including the installation of new and

upgraded alarm systems in City Hall. The current five-year agreement will expire on June 30,

2020, and a new agreement is now required to continue to provide alarm monitoring services.

5.5

Packet Pg. 22

On January 16, 2020, staff met with Sonitrol to discuss the possibility of a new five-year

cumulative agreement. Staff negotiated a new agreement with Sonitrol, subject to Council

approval. Sonitrol has agreed on a two percent (2%) CPI for alarm and monitoring services for

FY 2020/21. CPI increases each July 1st, will be subject to approval by the City. Sonitrol also

offered to apply a ten percent (10%) discount on upgrades to existing systems.

The City of San Ramon Purchasing Policy allows for the exemption of the competitive bidding

procedure for the purchase of products or services that can be provided by one supplier or

source.

FISCAL ANALYSIS

The proposed contract amount of $900,000 includes costs for alarm and monitoring services and

any potential new equipment installations in fifteen of the City’s facilities, including a 2.0% CPI

increase for each year for a five-year period. This amount has been submitted as part of the

proposed Public Works Operating Budget request for FY 2020/21.

Funds for these services to be provided under this contract will be allocated annually in the

Division’s Operating Budget, which will include funds for potential new equipment installations

and alarm monitoring services due to building renovations. Funding for work under this contract

for FY 2020/21 is allocated from the General Fund and Dougherty Valley CSA-M29 Fund.

There is sufficient funding in the proposed Public Works Operating Budget to complete the

services as recommended.


Staff will forward the agreement to Sonitrol for execution. The Public Works Department will

monitor the performance of the contractor throughout the life of the five-year agreement.

SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 2020-031 - Authorizing the Mayor to Sign a Letter to

the Governor Supporting a Request for Emergency State Funding for Solid

Waste and Recycling Service Providers

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Solid waste collection and disposal are essential services necessary to maintain public health.

The economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Shelter in Place Order will make it

difficult for Alameda County Industries of San Ramon (ACI) and other solid waste and recycling

companies to continue to provide these services. ACI has requested that the City send a letter to

the Governor supporting a request for emergency State funding for solid waste and recycling

service providers. Staff recommends sending the Letter of Support in order to help maintain vital

services and avoid potential impacts to San Ramon ratepayers.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Staff recommends approval of this Resolution authorizing the Mayor to sign a letter to the

Governor supporting a request for emergency State funding for solid waste and recycling service

providers.


Solid waste collection and disposal are essential services necessary to maintain public health.

The economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Shelter in Place Order will make it

difficult for Alameda County Industries of San Ramon (ACI) and other solid waste and recycling

companies to continue to provide these services. ACI has already begun to see a reduction in

revenue as affected businesses suspend or reduce their solid waste services. This loss in revenue

is predicted to increase as the Shelter in Place and its economic impacts continue. While ACI’s

revenue is decreasing, many of their costs are fixed and do not decrease proportionately as

commercial service is reduced. In addition, it is anticipated that a significant number of San

Ramon businesses and residents will be unable to pay for needed solid waste services as a result

of economic hardships caused by COVID-19.

12.1

Packet Pg. 33

ACI will need financial assistance in order to continue to provide these essential services to those

unable to pay. Raising customer rates to make up the shortfall is not a viable alternative at this

time.

ACI is a member of a statewide garbage and recycling industry association, the Resource

Recovery Coalition of California (RRCC). RRCC is seeking emergency funding for its members

from the State. A copy of the RRCC emergency funding proposal to the State is provided as

Attachment A. ACI has requested that the City support this effort and has provided a draft Letter

of Support (Attachment B).

FISCAL ANALYSIS

There is no direct fiscal impact to the City as a result of this Resolution. If successful, this

request may help to mitigate future garbage rate increases.


If approved, the Mayor will finalize, sign, and send the Letter of Support, and the City would

continue to support this and similar efforts to obtain State and Federal emergency funds to

maintain essential solid waste services.

EMERGENCY FUNDING PROPOSAL

Introduction California recognizes that solid waste collection and processing is an essential public health and safety service, and it is imperative that it continue during this COVID-19 pandemic emergency situation. In California, the health and safety requirements related to solid waste management are set by the State, however responsibility for implementing those requirements is passed on to local governments. In most cases, those local governments retain expert solid waste management companies to actually provide the collection, processing, and disposal service in their communities in a manner consistent with statutory mandates. The members of the Resource Recovery Coalition of California (Resource Coalition) are the companies that provide these services. These companies now face a financial crisis directly caused by the COVID-19 situation. As essential service providers, they continue to provide service up front without a guarantee of payment by the customers. However, the solid waste service providers are now facing a catastrophic loss of income from commercial accounts as businesses are forced to close to comply with the shelter-in-place orders. This jeopardizes the companies’ ability to provide these vital essential services, remain a springboard for the economy, and prevent a future public health hazard. We seek urgently needed support from the State Legislature and the Administration. The Request The Resource Coalition requests that the State appropriate funds, whether from the federal emergency aid package, State Reserves or General Fund, special funds, such as the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund under the Cap and Trade Program or the Beverage Container Recycling Fund, or a combination of those options to establish a fund which would temporarily support the companies and their employees in an amount sufficient to keep the companies operationally viable. Our proposal would set the fund at an amount sufficient to reimburse the companies for the cost of labor and benefits for their employees for a period of one year, with retroactive application to March 19, 2020, when the state-wide stay at home order was issued. A state agency, such as CalEPA or the Employment Development Department (EDD), would administer the fund. Companies would apply for grants from the fund, based on need. Local jurisdictions who provide solid waste services with their own municipal resources would also be eligible. Distributions would be made directly to the service provider on a weekly basis and be based on verified payroll records from sources such as the Workers’ Compensation Insurance Rating Bureau (WCIRB) and the (EDD). For example, payroll data can be easily compiled through the WCIRB by using the classification codes related to the solid waste industry. These codes include, but may not be limited to, 9403(1) Garbage or Refuse Collecting; 9403(2) Street Sweeping Service Companies; 9424(1) Garbage or Refuse Landfill, Transfer Station, and Material Recovery Facility Operations; 8847 Beverage Container Collection or Redemption; 8742

Salesperson – Outside; 8810 Clerical Office Employees – N.O.C. After the COVID-19 crisis subsides, local jurisdictions can work through their rate setting process to provide an annual payment, over a 20-year period, to reimburse the State for the funding advanced during the crisis. The Resource Coalition estimates that the fund would require an initial minimum balance of at least $1.2B to cover state-wide collection payroll and benefit costs for one year. This number is only an estimate and would need to be increased to account for post-collection and recycling labor. We fully understand the magnitude of this request, but if moneys in this range are not provided, the companies will ultimately start going out of business, and, because this is an industry-wide issue, another service provider cannot simply step in and take over. Even the largest entities, in fact any business, cannot long survive a revenue reduction of as much as 50%, as many of our members are facing. Put another way, the total cost of this proposal would have to be paid by all California taxpayers if there were no solid waste service providers. Indeed, there will be significant General Fund impact or obligations to directly pay for services if the solid waste service providers start disappearing due to financial losses. The rationale for our proposal appears below. Revenue Losses Due to the Crisis Are Unsustainable California’s state/local government/service provider structure leaves really only one way for a service provider to seek additional compensation to make up for a force majeure-caused revenue loss, as the companies are currently experiencing. Solid waste service providers in California generally operate pursuant to agreements with the municipalities they serve, and their compensation is strictly regulated by those agreements. However, the actual compensation comes from only two principal sources, the residential and commercial ratepayers. So, while the local government sets and controls compensation through their agreements with the service providers, the money actually comes from the residents and businesses of California. Contracts of all types generally include a provision allowing a party to be excused for failure to perform a contractual obligation due to a force majeure event, such as this. That is also the case with these solid waste contracts, however, as vital essential service providers, the Resource Coalition members have no intention of seeking to be excused from providing any essential solid waste service. In force majeure situations like this, the agreements generally provide that the parties negotiate changes to service levels and, as necessary, compensation levels so that the service provider can continue to operate as best it can with sufficient revenues to stay financially viable. The companies are required to cut costs during the event as much as possible to mitigate the compensation increase required, and, as a practical matter, they are already doing so. However, there are many distinct costs of doing business, most of which are fixed, that cannot be reduced significantly enough to make up for a drastic reduction in one main source of revenue. Similarly, debt service cannot be reduced in

this scenario. For example, the bank will still expect principal and interest payments on the loan which was used to purchase commercial trucks, even if the trucks are taken out of service. While some ancillary services may be suspended, and some costs cut, there will still be a huge shortfall in revenue. The primary focus of these force majeure discussions will be how to make up for the lost commercial revenues. Unfortunately, as noted above, the contracts will fail to resolve that problem. Raising residential rates would necessarily be the only place to go. Increasing residential rates 150-200% would be unfair in normal times and unthinkable currently as residents deal with their own COVID-19-related issues. Financial help derived from the contracts is not practical. Adding significant financial burdens to the residential ratepayers who may already be struggling with the effects of the crisis is not fair or practical. Solid waste companies need immediate, direct relief to continue service and prevent increased public health and safety issues associated with uncollected solid waste. Employees and Employment Our members generally live in the communities they serve, and, for decades, they have invested in solid waste and recycling processes and technologies in their communities that have bolstered their local economies and created a significant number of jobs. As substantial local employers, relief is needed to maintain current jobs and increase employment as we recover from this crisis. The companies are doing their best to avoid layoffs of their valued employees, and if they are going to be able to ramp up service post-crisis, they will need to retain these employees. This proposal will prevent disruption in operations and provide continuity of essential solid waste services through this emergency and during the inevitable recovery, while allowing employees to continue to support their families. Summary The Coronavirus pandemic is creating unprecedented challenges for the solid waste and recycling industry. We do not know how long this immediate crisis will continue, whether it will spike again in the fall, as some science has suggested, or whether another global health pandemic will affect us similarly in the future. Putting longer-term questions aside, the companies need the emergency funding proposed. Thank you for all of your efforts during this State of Emergency and beyond.

[Date] The Honorable Gavin Newsom Office of the Governor California State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 Re: Support of Solid Waste Emergency Funding Proposal Dear Governor Newsom: The City of San Ramon is writing in strong support of the Emergency Funding Proposal put forth by the Resource Recovery Coalition of California, which will provide immediate financial relief to our solid waste, recycling, and organics essential service providers during this State of Emergency. Our community is taking the necessary shelter-in-place precautions to fight COVID-19 and protect health and safety. However, the closure of businesses has created an immediate and catastrophic loss of income for our solid waste, recycling, and organics service providers. We need our service providers to remain financially viable through this emergency and beyond. This proposal will support our essential solid waste, recycling, and organics service providers during an unprecedented time, ensuring the continuity of service and the protection of human health and safety. It will also be critical during the inevitable recovery, as we continue to strive to meet California’s ambitious diversion targets. In the here and now, we need to protect our community during this national emergency and continue to collect waste generated. We urge you to consider the proposal and assist us during this complicated time. Sincerely, Bill Clarkson, Mayor City of San Ramon

FROM: Martin Lysons, City Attorney

By: Alicia Poon, Assistant City Attorney

SUBJECT: Public Hearing: Introduction of Ordinance (Next in Line)-Repealing and

Replacing Section A7-6 (Public Works Contracts) of Chapter I (Contract

Authority) of Division A7 (Contract and Procurement Authority) of Title a

of the San Ramon Municipal Code

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Staff recommends that the City Council introduce the Ordinance (next in line), waive the reading

and read by title only, open the public hearing, take public testimony, close the public hearing

and set the Ordinance for adoption at the April 28, 2020 City Council Meeting.


During a recent bid for a public works project, a discrepancy was discovered, and staff

determined the best way to handle the discrepancy was to reject all of the bids and re-advertise.

However, the City’s Municipal Code is silent on who has direct authority to reject bids.

Therefore, the City had to follow State Public Contracting Law, which states the City Council

has the discretion whether to reject any bids and re-advertise (Public Contracts Code § 20166).

Going back to the Council to reject the bid caused construction delays and higher construction

costs. To prevent this from happening again in the future, staff is proposing the attached

Ordinance, giving the City Manager or designee sole discretion to authorize the Public Works

Department to reject all bids without having to bring the action before the City Council.

The City Council currently has the authority under the City Charter to adopt an Ordinance that

gives the Public Works Department the ability to reject bids. Article IV of the San Ramon City

Charter states, “The City Council, by ordinance, shall establish the procedures, including any

competitive bidding requirements, to be followed by the City in awarding public contracts of any

nature, including those for construction of public works.”

The proposed amendment (included here as Attachment A) adds a subsection “D” to Section A7-

6 in the San Ramon Municipal Code. The amendment provides an additional exemption from

the California Public Contracts Code giving the City Manager or designee the sole discretion to

authorize the Public Works Department to reject all bids and re-advertise. The amendment also

clarifies the City Manager or designee’s exclusive authority over situations when two or more

12.2

Packet Pg. 41

bids received are the same and lowest, and when no bids are received.

Policy Committee

On February 26, 2020, staffi brought the proposed ordinance amendment to the Policy

Committee for comments and direction. The proposed ordinance amendment presented at Policy

Committee was essentially identical as the one before the Council this evening with one

exception: the original draft identified the Public Works Director as the individual with sole

discretion and authority over the specific bid decisions described in the paragraph above. The

Policy Committee expressed support of the proposed ordinance amendment, but felt the City

Manager or his designee should have sole discretion and authority over those specific bid

situations. The ordinance before the Council tonight incorporates that change.

FISCAL ANALYSIS

This Ordinance will have no fiscal impact on the City, except that the City may save money by

rejecting and re-advertising bids more efficiently and minimizing construction delays.


If the City Council desires to make changes to the Ordinance, it will be reintroduced at the April

28, 2020 City Council Meeting. If no changes are made, the Ordinance will be considered for

adoption at the April 28, 2020 City Council Meeting.

i Special note of acknowledgment to Ndem Emole, Cal High School Senior and Legal Intern with

text of the amendment and presented this ordinance before the Policy Committee. Ndem was

scheduled to make the presentation to the Council, but the circumstances surrounding the

COVID-19 outbreak have prevented him from doing so. We would be remiss if we did not

acknowledge Ndem’s contributions and thank him for the hard work he put into making this

amendment come to fruition.
