A RESOLUTION OF THE LQDI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANAGER TO EXECUTE A LEASE PURCHASE AGREEMENT FOR TWO (2)
PIERCE QUANTUM FIRE APPARATUS AND NECESSARY EQUIPMENT
WHEREAS, Lodi Municipal Code Section 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 June 2003 the City Council approved the purchase of two (2) fire apparatus during
fiscal year 2003-2005; and
WHEREAS, Fire Department staff has researched various fire apparatus specifications to replace an
aging reserve apparatus that is 27 years old, and re-establishing an engine company at Fire Station #1
(downtown); and
WHEREAS, current City vehicle guidelines call for fire apparatus to be used 15 years for frontline
service and 5 years for reserve service; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends purchasing the two (2) fire apparatus at the same time in order to re-
establish the engine company at Fire Station #1 and place an older fire apparatus in reserve; and
WHEREAS, because of the anticipated lag time between apparatus purchase and delivery, staff
believes purchasing both fire apparatus at the same time will save additional staff time and enable the Gity to
realize substantial savings utilizing the City of Bakersfield competitive bid process; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends that the City Manager be authorized to execute a Lease Purchase
Agreement for two (2) Pierce Quantum Fire Apparatus and Equipment as necessary through Golden State
Fire Apparatus of Modesto, California, with an annual lease cost of approximately $152,000.00 per year for a
total purchase price of $913,108.00.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lodi City Council does hereby authorize
