WHEREAS, Lodi Municipal Code, §3.20.070, authorizes dispensing with bids for purchases
of supplies, services or equipment when it is in the best interest of the City to do so; and
WHEREAS, while working to improve service reliability, the City of Lodi Electric Utility also
investigates possible new services that could be offered to customers; and
WHEREAS, the Bank of Lodi, a Lodi -headquartered commerciallindustrial electric
customer, has experienced several power interruptions in the recent past; and
WHEREAS, the number of outages experienced are in excess of acceptable reliability
criteria for a commercial enterprise; and
WHEREAS, the Electric Utility Department has taken a number of steps to remedy the
existing reliability issue, which have proven ineffective; and
WHEREAS, Electric Utility Department has estimated that upgrading that portion of the
electric distribution system serving the Bank of Lodi could cost up to $150,000, which would require
rescheduling the Department's extensive distribution and lighting systems improvements in addition
to requiring planned outages of the customer's electric service in order to perform the work and
additional excavation and roadwork at a busy intersection; and
WHEREAS, another option would be to install a standby (emergency) generator, which is
acceptable to the customer, at a cost of $75,000.00; and
WHEREAS, the Electric Utility Department recommends reimbursing the customer with up
to $75,000.00 in funds to purchase and install the generator, with the customer being solely
responsible for providing the necessary space and maintenance of the generator at its expense,
thereby establishing a pilot "Load Management Program"; and
WHEREAS, the City Manager recommends reimbursement of one Standby Generator for
the Bank of Lodi, and approves the establishment of a Load Management Program.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lodi City Council hereby approves the
reimbursement of one Standby Generator for the Bank of Lodi, and further approves the
establishment of a Load Management Program.
