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, on May 2, 2001, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2001-99
authorizing the non-competitive purchase of a SCADA system and software from
Siemens/TeleGyr Systems, Inc., in the amount of $165,000.00, which purchase included 16
modem units that would be installed at various locations within the Electric Utility System; and
WHEREAS, existing modems at the Public Works water well and pump station sites are
not compatible with the new SCADA hardware and software, and the new modems will replace
the existing ones; and
WHEREAS, because 16 modems were included in the initial purchase and the
importance of having like modems installed throughout the SCADA system, a non-competitive
purchase of the additional 48 modems is recommended by staff; and
WHEREAS, included in this purchase are all elements necessary to expand the SCADA
system from the current 16 communications lines to 64 communication lines. These elements
include modifying the multiplexers, upgrading the memory in the servers, and installation of the
hardware; and
WHEREAS, staff seeks authorization for the non-competitive purchase of 48 new
modems for installation at City wells, storm drain pump stations, and wastewater lift stations in
support of the new SCADA System currently being installed at the Henning Operations Center
