A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING
THE SOLE -SOURCE PURCHASE OF 25 CONCRETE "LODI
REPLICA" STREET LIGHT STANDARDS
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
WHEREAS, Lodi Municipal Code, §3.20.070, 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, the concrete street light standards installed in the older sections of
the City were manufactured locally utilizing a City -owned mold; and
WHEREAS, as a result of many years of use, the mold has deteriorated beyond
repair; and
WHEREAS, the last concrete standard manufacturer attempted to extend the life
of the mold but was unsuccessful and informed the City that they would no longer be
able to manufacture the standards; and
WHEREAS, the City then searched for a replacement standard of similar
appearance but was unable to locate an acceptable alternative; and
WHEREAS, the City then requested proposals from various manufacturers to
produce a replica of the existing concrete standard and received one proposal from a
manufacturer located in Minnesota; and
WHEREAS, due to the location of the manufacturer, the per unit freight on
standards can be minimized by placing an order for a full truck load of standards, i.e. 25
standards, as we currently have a backlog requirement for six standards and it is
estimated that the shipment will last approximately 2-3 years.
WHEREAS, it is staffs recommendation that the City purchase the 25 "Lodi
Replica" street light standards from the sole supplier, Traditional Concrete of
Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, in the amount of $27,080.00.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Lodi
does hereby approve the sole -source purchase of the 25 "Lodi Replica" street light
standards from the sole supplier, Traditional Concrete of Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin,
in the amount of $27,080.00.
