This is an Hourly Rate Sheet (Exhibit C-1) for the City of Palo Alto's Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Compressor Repair and Maintenance contract, which spans three years from April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2029. The City seeks a qualified contractor to provide comprehensive preventative maintenance, regulatory compliance support, and emergency repair services for two CNG fueling stations at the Municipal Services Center—one public station and one non-public fleet-focused station. The contract includes quarterly preventative maintenance visits, annual comprehensive maintenance, and 24-hour emergency repair services with a 4-hour response time requirement. Proposal submissions were due January 13, 2026, at 3:00 p.m., with a question deadline of December 29, 2025. The contractor must be a certified technician capable of conducting initial assessments and developing manufacturer-recommended preventative maintenance plans compliant with federal, state, and local regulations.

The compensation structure establishes hourly rates for three distinct service categories: normal working hours (Monday-Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.), weekday after-hours (Monday-Friday, 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., including Saturday overtime rates per Department of Industrial Relations requirements), and weekends/holidays (Sundays and holidays only). Rates are differentiated across the three contract years (2026-2027, 2027-2028, and 2028-2029). The bid table excludes mileage from call-out services, with compensation based solely on prevailing wage rates multiplied by estimated quantities. An estimated annual parts and consumables budget of $10,000 is allocated separately. Contractors must provide evidence of financial stability through audited or reviewed financial statements, a letter of good standing, or a Dun & Bradstreet report. The solicitation does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types.
