Thai Nam Pham City Clerk, City of Gilroy (408) 846-0204 That the citizens of the City of Gilroy do hereby enact the following amendment to the City Charter: 1. That Section 1109 of the City Charter be amended to read as follows: Section 1109. Contracts for Public Projects. Every public project involving an expenditure of City monies greater than the amount allowed for informal bidding pursuant to Section 22032 of the California Public Contract Code, or successor statute, as the same may be amended from time to time, for the construction or improvement of public buildings, works, drains, sewers, utilities, parks and streets (exclusive of projects for maintenance and repair of streets) shall be let by contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, or through best value contracting, after notice by one or more of the following methods: A. Publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the City by one or more insertions, the first of which shall be at least seven (7) days before the time for opening bids. This method of publication shall be used if available; B. Publication electronically so that the notice is publicly available to the general community of potential bidders; C. Publication in a trade journal specified by the Uniform Cost Accounting Act Commission by one or more insertions, the first of which shall be at least seven (7) days before the time for opening bids; or D. By using a list of qualified contractors, which includes responsible contractors who have bid in the past and qualified contractors who ask to be included on the list. The Council may reject any and all bids, if deemed excessive or unsatisfactory and readvertise for bids, or provide for the work to be procured in the open market, but in no case of open market procurements shall the price paid be higher than the responsible low bid rejected. The Council, without advertising for bids, following the adoption of a resolution declaring that the project can be performed more economically by day labor, or the materials or supplies furnished at a lower price in the open market, may have the project done in the manner stated without further complying with the provisions of this section. For contracts equal to or in excess of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) the Council may negotiate and award a Design-Build Contract without formal public bidding if the Council finds that such a contract would save money or result in faster project completion. The process for competitively selecting a design-build contractor shall be consistent with the California Public Contract Code. 2. That Section 1111 of the City Charter be amended to read as follows: Section 1111. Contracts for Official Advertising. The City shall procure services for the official advertising in a newspaper of general circulation in the City in accordance with the California Government Code and the City’s purchasing policy. 3. That Section 1503(h) of the City Charter be amended to read as follows: (h) “Newspaper of general circulation within the City” is as defined by the Government Code of the State of California.

QUEZON CITY – The Quezon City government is reminding residents to clean their surroundings and be cautious as it reported a three-fold rise in cases of dengue as well as leptospirosis in the city this year.In a Facebook post, the city govern-ment under Mayor Joy Belmonte said the QC Epidemiology and Disease Sur-veillance Unit (CESU) recorded a total of 2,328 dengue cases from the city’s six districts from Jan. 1 to Sept. 8.The city government logged a total of 748 dengue cases in the same period last year.“(Some) 211.23 percent o 1,580 ang itinaas ng kaso kumpara noong 2021. Patuloy na binabantayan ng lokal na pa-mahalaan ang bilang ng nagkakasakit sa dengue (There is an increase of 211.23 percent or 1,580 cases as compared in 2021. The local government continues to monitor the number of dengue cases),” the city government’s post states.QC CESU data showed that District 4 logged the highest number with 413 cas- es, while District 3 has the lowest with 314 dengue cases.The city also recorded 15 deaths due to dengue from January 1 to September 8, 2022.Meanwhile, the city government also noted an increase in its leptospirosis cas-es with 78 cases from Jan. 1 to Sept. 1, this year.The city government advised resi-dents to wear protective gear like boots especially when wading through fl ood waters. By Lolly Rivera Acosta PARANAQUE CITY - The City of Parañaque and Media Touchstone Ven-tures, Inc. (MTVi) launched on September 15 a sequel to the book ”From Pueblo to Mega City by the Bay” at The Forum, So-laire Resorts & Casino, Parañaque City.Titled “Paranaque, A Mega City by the Bay,” the 304-paged coff ee table book is authored by Melandrew T. Velasco, a veteran writer and publisher who has au-thored 42 books among these historical bi-ographies, institutional coff ee table books and books for local government units.“Paranaque, A Mega City by the Bay” is foremost a legacy book on what the local government under the leadership of Mayor Edwin L. Olivarez has achieved from June 2013-June 2022. It features the Bagong Paranaque as envisioned by then Mayor Olivarez when he took his oath of offi ce in 2013. The journey has not been easy with the COVID-19 pandemic interrupting an otherwise smooth growth trajectory. Voting yes on Measure D enables Gilroy, by amending the 1960 City Charter, to stretch its public works dollars farther by: Saving money and time by allowing larger projects to use design-build contracts. Gilroy is limited to “design-bid-build” construction contracts, in which separate contracts and companies are used for the design and construction phases. This lengthens the time to start projects, resulting in higher costs. Measure D allows the City an additional method called “Design-build”, allowing one entity to both design and build a project when it will reduce costs and/or project time. Ensuring that Gilroy taxpayers get their money’s worth by protecting against unqualified or fraudulent contractors who submit below-market bids to win a contract, knowing that they will submit expensive and time-delaying “change orders” later. Under the Charter, the City is required to select the lowest bid. Measure D adds best- value contracting to also allow consideration of job performance history, experience, and quality when awarding contracts. This helps ensure bid integrity . Helping local businesses compete for City contracts by increasing the threshold requiring a formal bid process. The Charter requires projects of $35,000 or more to be formally bid, forcing local businesses to compete nationwide for these lower-cost projects. Measure D increases this threshold to $200,000, the same amount allowed by State law, expanding opportunities for local businesses to compete for smaller projects. Providing advertisement options to attract more bids. The Charter assumes that bid notifications are placed in a local newspaper printed daily. Our local newspaper is printed weekly. Measure D requires the use of the local newspaper when it is available, and allows additional options to maximize advertisement exposure. Measure D offers significant financial and operational benefits to the City and the community. Vote YES on Measure D.
