The City Council concurred with the emergency purchase of
an air compressor- for the Street Division of the Public
CC -20
Works Department.
CC -47
The 1987/88 Operating Budget included $12,96" for the
purchase of an additional air compressor and accessories
for the Street Division. However, before bias could be
advertised, the existing 1979 air compressor failed,
leaving the Division without an air compressor. Staff has
not yet determined if the existing compressor is going to
be repaired or replaced. The Division, borrowed air
compressors from the Utility Department and
Dater/Wastewater Division when they were available. The
City was in a position where it would have to rent an sir
compressor for $4004500 per week, if we could even find
one, which would fit. accessories.
Because of this emergency situat,icn and he time that --would
be required to bid or, an air compressor, informal quotes
were obtained from three companies on used -leased air
compressors. A claim was issued on October 13, 1981 to
Tenco of West Sacramento for a 1985 used -leased
Ingersoll-Rand air compressor in the amount of $9,275.
This was done under Lodi Municipal Code Section 3.20.070
which allows the bidding process to be eliminated when an
emergency exists.
