SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL <br />1 <br /> <br />Responses to City Council Agenda Items – January 20, 2026 <br /> <br />Regular Meeting <br />Agenda Item #7: Authorize the City Manager to enter into the first amendment to the <br />Maintenance and Trade Services agreement with East Bay Pool Service, Inc. for pool <br />maintenance services and repairs, increasing the annual not-to-exceed amount by <br />$75,000 to $254,950, increasing the cumulative not-to-exceed amount to $1,124,750, <br />and extending the term through fiscal year 2027/28 <br />1.

Was the request for qualifications only directed to the four named firms, or were <br />there other firms who responded? <br />A. The Request for Proposal (RFP) was publicly advertised and open to all <br />interested consultants. Four consultants responded to the RFP and submitted <br />a proposal. No other proposals were received. <br /> <br />Agenda Item #11: Authorize the City Manager to enter into an on-call professional <br />services agreement with Pakpour Consulting Group, Inc. for Utility Program Manager <br />Services, in an amount not-to-exceed $5 million for a five-year term and approve the <br />budget amendments <br /> <br />3.
