WHEREAS, the City of Petaluma Public Works and Utilities Department is implementing the California
Stream Gage Improvement Program (CalSIP) Stream Gage Network authorized by City Council to expand real -
time monitoring of stage, flow, and water-quality conditions on the Petaluma River and key tributaries; and
WHEREAS, CalSIP grant funding was awarded to the City to support installation, commissioning, and initial
operation of stream gages that provide near real-time public data through the California Data Exchange Center
(CDEC), and the proposed purchase is fully funded by this grant; and
WHEREAS, the City has confirmed final gage sites through field evaluation and must procure CalSIP
compliant equipment and specialized vendor technical services in order to install and bring the stations online
within required State grant deadlines; and
WHEREAS, Xylem Inc. has submitted a quote to provide a turnkey, CalSIP ready stream gage equipment
package, telemetry and data hosting subscriptions, calibration supplies, shipping, and two on -site engineering
trips for a total not-to-exceed cost of $285,601.53; and
WHEREAS, the City Charter requires competitive bidding for acquisitions above the Charter threshold, and
those procedures are implemented through Petaluma Municipal Code Chapter 4.04; and
WHEREAS, Petaluma Municipal Code Section 4.04.050 and California Public Contract Code Section
3400(c)(3) allow the City to dispense with formal competitive bidding when a commodity or service can be
obtained from only one practicably available supplier; and

for the City’s network and the telemetry/data platform configured to transmit directly to California Data Exchange
Center; and
WHEREAS, this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA

foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Petaluma as follows:
