A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL
APPROVING THE SPECIAL PURCHASE OF
POLEMOUNT TRANSFORMERS
WHEREAS, Lodi Municipal Code, §3.20.070, authorizes dispensing with bids for
purchases of supplies, services or equipment when it is in the best interests of the City to do so;
and
WHEREAS, in September, 1996, the City Council awarded the bid for 18 circuit -protected
polemount transformers to Wesco Distribution for $14,669.09; and
WHEREAS, upon delivery of the transformers in December, it was determined that
Wesco's manufacturer had produced and shipped conventional polemount units instead of circuit -
protected transformers as ordered, and the shipment was rejected; and
WHEREAS, replacements were ordered through Cooper Power Systems and
negotiations began with Wesco over the disposition of the 18 rejected transformers. On July 1,
1997, Wesco agreed to Lodi's offer of $7,773.09 for the 18 units, (Lodi's offer to Wesco was
contingent upon City Council approval, adoption of resolution, and issuance of a signed purchase
order); and
WHEREAS, it is staff recommendation that the City Council authorize the purchase under
Lodi City Code §3.20.070, since the transformers meet all City of Lodi specifications for
conventional polemount transformers, and will be used to serve new loads as required.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council hereby approves the
special purchase of 18 conventional polemount transformers from Wesco Distribution of San
Francisco, CA in the amount of $7,773.09; and
Dated: July 16, 1997
