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, in 1997 the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District awarded the City of
Lodi $30,000.00 for the purchase of five CNG patrol cars, which is designated for the incremental
cost of the CNG patrol cars, which are $6,000.00 more than gasoline patrol cars; and
WHEREAS, because there are no CNG patrol cars available, the Public Works Department
has looked for different, high -mileage applications; and
WHEREAS, the challenge`with alternatively -fueled vehicle acquisitions is the limited number
of dealers and choice of vehicles; and
WHEREAS, the Public Works Department therefore recommends that the City purchase two
CNG Honda Civics to replace the Fleet and Facilities Manager's car #04-047 and the Engineering
Pool car #04-090, one CNG Ford E350 Cargo Van to replace Survey Van #04-013, one CNG Dodge
Van to replace Evidence Van #05-058 off California's Contract List, and one CNG Toyota Camry to
replace City Hall Motor Pool Car #04-109 sole -source from Maita's Toyota of Sacramento.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council hereby approves the
purchase of five Compressed Natural Gas vehicles as outlined above in the amount of $110,550.00;

'(Incremental cost for five vehicles is less than the grant amount)
