A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING
THE CITY OF LODI'S PARTICIPATION IN THE WESTERN
STATES CONTRACTING ALLIANCE PURCHASING PROGRAM
WHEREAS, the Western States Contracting Alliance (WSCA) was formed in
1993 by state purchasing directors in fifteen western states; and
WHEREAS, the primary purpose of WSCA is to establish the means by which
participating states may join together in cooperative multi -state contracting in order to
achieve cost-effective and efficient acquisition of quality products and services; and
WHEREAS, all government entities within the fifteen states are eligible to use
the WSCA agreements; and
WHEREAS, WSCA contractors include IBM, Compaq, Dell, as well as Verizon
Wireless and AT&T Wireless; and
WHEREAS, Government Code §6502 authorizes the City to participate jointly
with other public agencies in such a program, and Lodi Municipal Code §3.20.070 allows
alternative methods of procurement when such methods are in the best interest of the
City. The City would benefit from volume pricing as well as saving time and expense of
competitive bidding on previously -bid contracts.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lodi City Council hereby
authorizes the City of Lodi's participation in the Western States Contracting Alliance
(WSCA) Purchasing Program.
