VIDEO. From the Sewer Authority Mid-Coastside (SAM) meeting on Monday, February 24th, 2025 at 7:00pm, as a hybrid meeting. AGENDA; Item #4A.

STAFF REPORT. Authorize the General Manager to Execute an Amendment to the Existing Contract with Calcon Systems, Inc. for Routine Electrical Maintenance and SCADA Support Services at SAM Facilities. The fiscal impact of awarding the bid is approximately $400,000 per fiscal year and will be included in the FY 2025-26 budget and budgets for subsequent fiscal years

Background and Discussion/Report
The Board authorized the General Manager on June 22, 2020 to execute a contract with Calcon systems, Inc. for routine electrical maintenance and SCADA support services at SAM facilities in an amount not to exceed $350,000 for each year of the contract beginning on September 1, 2020 and ending on June 30, 2025. The term of the contract was until June 30, 2025.

SAM staff is very pleased with the services being provided by Calcon and would like to extend the contract for another five (5) years, including a not-to-exceed amount $400,000 for each fiscal year

Section O of Part II of SAM’s Purchasing Policy authorizes sole source contracts with professional or technical consultants where a consultant is already providing current services for SAM and there would be economies of scale by continuing to receive services from the same consultant.

In addition to the extended term and additional compensation, the proposed amendment would incorporate contractual requirements of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and correct non-material clerical error in the original agreement where certain exhibits were inadvertently excluded.

    SAM Directors

    SAM is a joint powers authority (JPA) created by its three member agencies: City of Half Moon Bay (City), Granada Community Services District (GCSD), and the Montara Water and Sanitary District (MWSD).

    The JPA is a separate, independent, public agency created by the member agencies to perform functions and share powers common to the member agencies. Those powers are outlined in a joint exercise of powers agreement (Agreement). The Agreement creating SAM can be found on the Documents page.

    Each Agreement identifies how the independent agency will be governed. In the case of SAM, each member agency appoints two members from its governing board to represent it on the SAM Board of Directors, for a total of six directors.

    The Agreement also establishes the weight of each director’s vote. The vote by each representatives from the City is given the weight of two votes. The vote by each representative from GCSD and MWSD is given the weight of one vote. The total number of possible votes is eight. A quorum is a minimum of five votes and resolutions require at least six votes to pass.
