REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Title
Action on an Amendment to an Agreement with SBV Concrete, Inc. dba Valley Concrete, Inc. for Concrete Curb, Gutter and Sidewalk Maintenance Services
Report
BACKGROUND
The Department of Public Works is responsible for maintaining concrete curbs, gutters and sidewalks in the public right-of-way.

The majority of concrete curb, gutter and sidewalk repair work is contracted out. The City's current agreement for concrete repair services with Valley Concrete expires on December 31, 2019, following a competitive procurement in which they were the lowest cost proposal.
DISCUSSION
A formal request for proposal (RFP) selection process in accordance with the General Services contracting procedures set forth Section 2.105.330 of the Santa Clara City Code was conducted in 2017 to solicit proposals from contractors to perform concrete curb, gutter and sidewalk maintenance services.
