BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Funds to purchase an asphalt pavement Compactor for the Streets and Drainage Division of the Public Works Department are available in the Street Fund. This vehicle will replace existing Unit 04-110, a 1992 vibratory compactor. Unit 04-110 is a fully -depreciated Case Model W252. This unit was originally purchasedfor $26,273 in 1991 and has accumulated $8,662.87 in repairs. Overthe pasttwo years, the Division has spent approximately $4,500 in rental of substitute units when our unit was down waiting for parts. This unit is 16 years old and parts are no longer available. There is damage to the unit's engine that has forced it out of service. Due to changes to the asphalt mix design, the City needs to have a unit with a vibratory compactor for proper compaction. These units are traditionally not available during paving season. The Streets and Drainage Division uses this roller on a daily basis during the construction season for street repairs and maintenance. This type of equipment is not available in alternative fuel engines. Staff recommendation is to purchasethe vibratory compactor through another contract rather than seeking our own bids. The City of Roseville prepared vibratory compactor bid specifications which meet the exact needs of the City of Lodi requirements and received three competitive bids. The City of Lodi can purchase the roller under the City of Roseville'scontract. Purchasing under the City of Roseville's contract will save the City of Lodi staff time, secure a good price based on competitive bids, and provide a unit that meets the needs of the City in the most timely manner. Th z Fleet Committee has reviewed and agrees with this recommendation: Dela l J.
