STAFF REPORT
CITY COUNCIL
DATE: June 18, 2019
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM:
Christopher L. Foss, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Contract Services Agreement with Special Events for Event Equipment
Rental 2019-20
Prepared by: Tegan McLane, Cultural Arts and Heritage Manager
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider a contract services agreement with Special Events for
rental of tents, stages, and event furniture for City-produced special events during Fiscal
Year 2019-20.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Approving an Agreement with Special Events for Event
Equipment Rental 2019-20.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The contract has a not-to-exceed amount of $55,998. Sufficient funding is available in
the recently adopted Fiscal Year 2019-20 Operating Budget to cover the contract
amount.
However, should unforeseen circumstances necessitate additional equipment rentals, a
budget increase may be needed. The City Council resolution authorizes the City
Manager to increase the contract an additional $20,000, provided budget is available.
DESCRIPTION:
The City of Dublin routinely rents staging, tents and furniture for outdoor events. In
Fiscal Year 2019-20, scheduled events include Summer Concerts at the Amphitheater,
Splatter 2019, St. Patrick's Day 2020 and an anticipated park opening for the Dublin
Sports Grounds All-Abilities Playground.
Per the City's purchasing policy, Staff has conducted a formal bid process, with a
Request for Quotes published on May 7, 2019, and open through May 21, 2019. The
Request for Quotes is based on maximum equipment for all events.
Three bids were received and were reviewed by Staff. Bids were received from Special
Page 2 of 2
Events, Good Events and Stuart Rental. However, only Special Events and Stuart
Rental are able to provide the full range of equipment needed .
Based on the ability to deliver all desired types of equipment at the lowest possible
price, Staff recommends Special Events for the contract period, July 1, 2019 -June 30,
2020.
Special Events has provided similar equipment to the City for a number of years with an
excellent customer service track record.
Although Special Events prices have increased in comparison to previous years and the
quoted combined total for all events at maximum o rder ($79,742) exceeds the City’s
budgeted amount, it remains the lowest quote received. Special Events has proved to
be flexible in working with Staff in the past to modify equipment orders to help keep
costs within the budget. The not-to-exceed amount is $55,998; however, the City
Manager is authorized, per the Resolution, to extend the contract to $75,998, if
necessary.
Staff very seldom orders the maximum equipment for an event, so barring extreme
weather affecting multiple events throughout the year a nd/or the addition of unplanned
events, Staff expects to be able to remain within budget.

and costs (including without limitation, attorney’s fees and costs and fees of litigation) (collectively,
“Liability”) of every nature arising out of or in connection with Contractor’s performance of the Services or
its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement, except such Liability caused by
the sole negligence or willful misconduct of City.
The Contractor’s obligation to defend and indemnify shall not be excused because of the Contractor’s
inability to evaluate Liability or because the Contractor evaluates Liability and determines that the
Contractor is not liable to the claimant. The Contractor must respond within 30 days, to the tender of any
claim for defense and indemnity by the City, unless this time has been extended by the City. If the
Contractor fails to accept or reject a tender of defense and indemnity within 30 days, in addition to any
other remedy authorized by law, so much of the money due the Contractor under and by virtue of this
Agreement as shall reasonably be considered necessary by the City, may be retained by the City until
disposition has been made of the claim or suit for damages, or until the Contractor accepts or rejects the
tender of defense, whichever occurs first.

California Civil Code Section 2782, as may be amended from time to time, such duties of Contractor to
indemnify shall not apply when to do so would be prohibited by California Civil Code Section 2782.

under this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or the California Public Employees
Retirement System (PERS) to be eligible for enrollment in PERS as an employee of City, Contractor shall
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City for the payment of any employee and/or employer cont ributions
