A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL
APPROVING THE DESIGN AND PURCHASE OF THE
FIREFIGHTER MEMORIAL AT FIRE STATION #4 AND
APPROPRIATING FUNDS FOR THIS PROJECT
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 2000, permission to design and place a memorial to fallen Lodi Firefighters
was given by the Fire Chief; and
WHEREAS, the United Firefighters of Lodi have developed and pursued honoring the fallen
firefighters with a rock memorial, which is red sandstone and will have names etched on the face of
the rock along with the Lodi Fire Department logo; and
WHEREAS, the opening of Fire Station #4 offers the best timing for this project, and
therefore the committee moved forward with choosing the rock and also received a bid for the cost
of the etching; and
WHEREAS, the United Firefighter's of Lodi have been asked to contribute to the memorial,
and the remainder of the cost will be taken out of the construction contingency; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends using a sole source purchase from Natural Rock Formation,
of Valley Springs, California, due to the lack of vendors who perform this type of work.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lodi City Council hereby approves the
design and purchase of the Firefighter Memorial at Fire Station #4 from Natural Rock Formation, of
Valley Springs, California, in the amount of $870.34; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that funds be appropriated from the Fire Station #4
construction funding for this project.
