This is an hourly rate sheet (Exhibit C-1) for the City of Palo Alto's compressed natural gas (CNG) compressor repair and maintenance services contract spanning from April 2026 through March 2029. The contract encompasses preventative maintenance, regulatory compliance support, and emergency repair services for two CNG fueling stations at the Municipal Services Center. The rate sheet establishes a tiered pricing structure based on service delivery times across three contract years: normal working hours (Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.), weekday after-hours (Monday through Friday, 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., with Saturdays included at the overtime rate per Department of Industrial Relations requirements), and weekends/holidays (Sundays and designated holidays). Proposal submissions were due January 13, 2026, at 3:00 p.m., with questions accepted until December 29, 2025.

The compensation structure operates on a not-to-exceed budget model with blank hourly rates to be submitted by bidders for each service category and contract year, plus an estimated annual parts and consumables budget of $10,000. The rate sheet specifically notes that call-out services in the bid table do not include mileage reimbursement and consist solely of the prevailing wage rate multiplied by approximate quantities. Contractors must be certified technicians capable of conducting initial assessments and developing manufacturer-recommended preventative maintenance plans, and must demonstrate financial stability through audited or reviewed financial statements, letters of good standing, or Dun & Bradstreet reports. The evaluation criteria encompass proposal quality, solution effectiveness, relevant experience, cost, financial stability, performance capability, and regulatory compliance history, with no explicit set-aside designations noted in the solicitation.
