GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No DISCUSSION The Public Works Agency (PWA) is responsible for the maintenance and improvement of City facilities, including ten fire stations occupied by the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA). Together with OCFA, staff assessed all Santa Ana fire stations and prioritized repairs and improvements. Construction Contract to Construct the Fire Station 74 Fuel Station Replacement Project January 20, 2026 Page 2 City and OCFA staff identified that the Fire Station 74 underground fuel storage tank at 1427 South Broadway was in need of removal and replacement with a new above- ground fuel storage tank (Exhibit 1). Replacement of old subsurface tanks with new above -ground tanks allows for improved maintenance and reduces the potential for leaks that can contaminate the soil. The upgraded fuel system and tanks will meet South Coast Air Quality Management District requirements, with adherence to the most recent fire code related to setbacks and existing structures. The scope of work includes removing the existing 4,000-gallon diesel/gasoline fuel underground storage tank and corresponding dispenser and installing one 2,000-gallon diesel fuel storage tank on engineering reinforced slab, one new dispenser, installing a new diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) tank, and dispensing system. Once the project is completed, environmental risks will be mitigated and fuel system reliability will be significantly improved at this fire station. Project Advertisement and Contractor Procurement To provide an opportunity for local vendors to submit bids, the City notified a total of 2,337 regional vendors via PlanetBids, many of which are Santa Ana based. Furthermore, staff specifically reached out to Santa Ana vendors to encourage their participation in bids. A total of seven bids were received. Zero bids were received from Santa Ana contractors. As legally required, a Notice Inviting Bids was advertised in the Orange County Register newspaper on September 25, 2025 and October 1, 2025. The project was also advertised in PlanetBids from September 18, 2025 to November 10, 2025. Bids were received electronically via PlanetBids on November 10, 2025. No bid protest was submitted by any of the bidders during the bid protest period. A copy of construction plans, contracts, specifications, and all related reference materials (such as The Greenbook) are available for public review at the City's Public Works Agency, Central Files office located in City Hall. Bid Results Summary RANK BIDDER'S NAME LOCATION BASE BID 1 GEMS Environmental Management Services, Inc. Concord, CA $674,104 2 Premo Construction, Inc. Irvine, CA $680,650 3 Fleming Environmental, Inc. Fullerton, CA $687,582 4 Eastridge Engineering and Construction Murrieta, CA $715,250 5 ACC & Engineering, LLC Anaheim, CA $757,240 6 MMC, Inc. La Palma, CA $938,000 7 Western Pump, Inc. San Diego, CA $961,762 Construction Contract to Construct the Fire Station 74 Fuel Station Replacement Project January 20, 2026 Page 3 A total of seven bids were received and all seven (7) were deemed responsive. GEMS Environmental Management Services, Inc. submitted the lowest responsive bid in the amount of $674,104 (Exhibit 2). Based on the bid analysis and a contractor's reference check, staff recommends awarding the construction contract to GEMS Environmental Management Services, Inc. (Exhibit 3). While this will be GEMS Environmental Management, Inc.'s first construction project for the City of Santa Ana, the contractor has completed similar projects for other public agencies. Most recently, GEMS completed a diesel tank installation for the East Bay Municipal Utility District and an above -ground storage tank replacement for the City of Pittsburg. Although the firm is based in Northern California, GEMS Environmental Management Inc. confirmed that it has the resources to complete the project and will also deploy locally, relocating personnel to Santa Ana for the duration of the project. Based on the contractor's experience and positive contractor's reference check, staff is confident that GEMS Environmental Management, Inc. can provide the same quality work to the City. Project Delivery To deliver a complete project, in addition to the construction contract, the estimated total project delivery cost includes a budget allocation for construction administration, inspection, and testing. Construction administration and inspection may be performed by either Staff or consultants and includes construction management, inspection of the Contractor's work to ensure contract compliance, workmanship and quality, materials testing, and implementation of the labor requirements. Any of the allocated construction administration funds not spent are considered project savings and are returned to the respective fund balance upon close out of the project. As indicated in the Cost Analysis and as summarized in the table below, the estimated total construction delivery cost of the project is $842,630.

If the contractor fails to deliver on time, they will be assessed a penalty of $1,725 per calendar day as specified in the bid documents.
