COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
COUNCIL MEETING DATE NO.
AUGUST 15, 1990 j
RECOMMENDED ACTfION: That the City Council approve the sale of City
property as described below to the high bidder, Richard Junio of Tipton,
California, i n the amount of $2,868.75.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Lodi Municipal Code Section 2.12.120
requires the approval of the City Council for the sale of City property
having a value exceeding $2,000.
The property, an hydraulic derrick assembly manufactured by Utility
Body Company i n June, 1979, was removed ficin the Electric U t i l i t y
Department's Truck #42 earlier this year when it was determined that it
may no longer qualify for State safety certification. Further, Utility
Body Company went out business i n March, 1989, leaving few sources of
spare parts.
I n iti a I research of the market for obsolete and uncertified derrick
assemblies indicated its estimated value to be well under $2,000.
Therefore the Notice Inviting Bids was published on July 25, 1990, and
two bids were opened on August 6, 1990:
Richard Junio, Tipton, CA
John Moses, Stockton, CA
$2,868.75
812.81
The City Attorney drafted a "Hold Harmless" clause which was included
i n both the Notice Inviting Bids and the bidder's proposal form stating
that the equipment is being sold with the understanding that it is
useful only for dismantling and spare parts, and is not intended nor
recommended, for reinstallation and use as an integral unit. Both
bidde"s agreed to the terms of the clause.
