AUTHORIZING THE AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR THE PAYRAN-MADISON TRENCHLESS

WHEREAS, in accordance with the City of Petaluma Charter and Municipal Code, California Public
Contract Code Section 20162, and other applicable laws, City staff prepared construction bid documents and
solicited bids for the Payran-Madison Trenchless Sewer Main Replacement Project; and
WHEREAS, the project was bid on Friday, June 16, 2023, and five (5) bids were received and opened on
Thursday, July 6, 2023, in accordance with applicable law; and,
WHEREAS, the lowest responsible bid for the Project was submitted by K.J. Woods Construction, Inc., from
San Francisco, CA for $1,578,000.00; and
WHEREAS, it has been determined that K.J. Woods Construction, Inc., satisfies the bidding requirements
for the Project; and
WHEREAS, no bidders protested K.J. Woods Construction, Inc.’s bid and the time to protest their bid has
lapsed; and
WHEREAS, the Payran-Madison Trenchless Sewer Main Replacement Project (C66402245) is categorically
exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and Title 14, the California Code of
Regulations (“CEQA Guidelines”), Section 15301 because the project consists of repair and maintenance to
existing public infrastructure and there is negligible or no expansion of use beyond what currently exists and there
are no cumulative impacts, unusual circumstances, or other factors that would make the exemption inapplicable
pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2; and
WHEREAS, a notice of exemption was issued for the project; and
WHEREAS, the Public Works & Utilities Director has found this project to be substantially complex due to
the number of resources needed to complete the project including the number of days, workers, and labor; the
tasks needed to complete the project; and specialty contractor work needed to complete the project; and the size
and impact of the project. Therefore, this is a unique project that is not regularly performed and requires a higher
retention amount than five percent.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Petaluma as follows:
1. Declares that the above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated into this Resolution as findings of
the Petaluma City Council.
2. Finds that this Project is exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to
Title 14, the California Code of Regulations (“CEQA Guidelines”), Section 15301, as the minor alteration of
existing public facilities with negligible or no expansion in use and there are no cumulative impacts, unusual
circumstances, or other factors that would make the exemption inapplicable pursuant to CEQA Guidelines
Section 15300.2.
