A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL APPROVING THE
SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE OF KETTLEMAN LANE WASTEWATER
PUMP STATION EQUIPMENT, AND APPROPRIATING ADDITIONAL
FUNDS TO COVER THIS PROJECT, AND AUTHORIZE
ADVERTISEMENT FOR INSTALLATION BIDS
WHEREAS, Lodi Municipal Code, 53.20.070, authorizes dispensing with bids for
purchases of supplies, services or equipment when it is in the best interests of the City
to do so; and
WHEREAS, at its October 16, 1996 meeting, the City Council directed staff to
proceed with the design engineering for a wastewater pumping station at the future
intersection of Mills Avenue and Tienda Drive; and
WHEREAS, the project will be funded by development fees, the City has already
committed $50,000.00 from the Wastewater Development Impact Mitigation Fee Fund
and the balance of the $175,000.00 project will come from area developer contributions;
and
WHEREAS, all five existing permanent wastewater pump stations in the City
consist of a manufactured steel shell and pump assembly, installed underground, from
Smith & Loveless, Inc., and all were installed by developers to city specifications, and
we have been informally standardizing on these units; and
WHEREAS, with the City taking the lead on this project, the plan was to bid the
complete installation and specify the Smith & Loveless unit; and
WHEREAS, two issues have become apparent: 1) the City can save some
contractor markup if we purchase the unit and furnish it to the contractor and 2) that this
long -lead item (roughly 16 weeks) will significantly delay completion of the project if we
leave the purchase as part of the installation contract;
WHEREAS, the actual quote from the manufacturer for the lift station, including a
corrosion protection system is $68,025.00; however, our review of the submittal
material, which includes the exact equipment and accessories to be furnished is
incomplete, and the request for $70,000.00 allows for minor changes in the equipment
to be furnished and for additional startup services should they be necessary; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lodi City Council hereby
approves the sole source purchase of a Smith & Loveless, Inc. factory -built automatic
wastewater pump station in the amount not to exceed $70,000.00; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that an additional $20,000.00 be appropriated
from the Wastewater Development Impact Mitigation Fee fund to cover this project; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council hereby authorizes
advertisement for installation bids.
