A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AWARDING THE
CONTRACT FOR CELLULAR PHONE SERVICES TO
VERIZON WIRELESS
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, staff has reviewed cellular phone services provided by AT&T,
Verizon, Nextel, and Pac Bell, evaluating the cost and quality of the signal; and
WHEREAS, the per minute cost of airtime provided by Verizon Wireless is less
than that provided by the other vendors; and
WHEREAS, based on the evaluation and testing, staff recommends Verizon
Wireless, which will provide all equipment at no charge and only requires that the City be
responsible for the payment of the tax due on the suggested retail value of each unit;
and
WHEREAS, in July 1998, the City of Stockton awarded a contract to Verizon
Wireless to provide cellular phone service, and the City of Lodi can piggyback on
Stockton's contract, thus saving the expense of the bidding process.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Lodi
hereby authorizes staff to piggyback on the City of Stockton's contract with Verizon
Wireless, and further authorizes expending a cost of $2,300.00 to cover the payment of
the tax due on the suggested retail value of each unit.
