FROM. THE CITY MANAGERS OFFICE I June 27, 1990
SUBJECT:
PREPARED BY: LODI POLICE DEPARTMENT
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council standardize purchase of future police
motorcycles used by the City of Lodi Police Department'with B&T
Kawasaki in Sacramento, California.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The police motorcycles used by the Police Department for the
last four years have been the Kawasaki KZ 1000P. At the present
time the department has three 1986 KZ 1000P Kawasaki
motorcycles. In the 1990-91 Budget we requested a replacement
program to replace one motorcycle a year until all of the 1986
models are replaced. The Police Department has a maintenance
agreement with B&T Kawasaki that has proven to be beneficial to
the City of Lod". B&T.Kawasaki has parts and materials readily
available and the expertise to keep our motorcycles
working order. It is also to our advantage to cont
the Kawasaki motorcycles because we will be able to
brackets and lighting equipment off the old motorcy
place them on the new motorcycles with no major ada
required.
Recently, one of our Motor Officers was involved in
accident and his motorcycle suffered extensive dams
of repairing that motorcycle is $5,045. it is our _
replace that motorcycle with a 1990 KZ1000P9 Model foz a cost of
$6,793. The funds fer this motorcycle have already been
budgeted in the 1990-91 budget.
Section 3.20.040 (Exemptions from Centralized Purchasing)
authorizes the Citv Council to standardize on specific supplies,
services, and equipment. Since the Police Department has
enjoyed a successful program with the Kawasaki Motorcycles, and
since our current inventory includes only Kawasaki Motorcycles,
Lt is recommended that the City standardize on police
motorcycles manufactured by Kawasaki.
