A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING THE
SOLE -SOURCE PURCHASE OF A JACOBSEN MODEL T628
TURFCAT 4WD 72" ROTARY MOWER FROM H.V. CARTER
COMPANY, INC., OF SACRAMENTO, CA
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 December 2002, the Parks Division purchased a 2002 Turfcat 72" mower,
which became the front line trim mower for the Division. This mower is used five days a week and
has over 3,000 hours of service. This piece of equipment meets the criteria for replacement under
the Fleet Policy and Procedure; and
WHEREAS, to date, the Parks Division has spent $14,731 for repairs with the majority
occurring in the last two years. Several times this mow season our Turfcat has been in the
mechanic shop for extended periods of time; and
WHEREAS, staff has extensively reviewed options and has determined that due to the age,
hours of service, and mounting repair costs the mower needs replacement. Two commercial mower
brands are available. The Jacobsen Model T628 Turfcat 4 WD 72" rotary mower is the brand of
choice based on past operator and mechanical experiences of Parks staff; and .
WHEREAS, staff recommends that it be allowed to accept an H.V. Carter offer to piggy back
purchase the Jacobsen T628 D Turfcat from the city of Sacramento bid number 6073259004. The
piggy back purchase process is an opportunity for one agency to use the bidding of another agency,
when permission is given from that agency and vendor. The advantage of this opportunity is that an
agency has gone through the bidding process and an acceptable vendor has been determined thus
our turn around time, advertisement cost, and staff costs are lessened.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby authorize
the sole -source purchase of a Jacobsen Model T628 Turfcat 4WD 72" rotary mower from
H.V. Carter Company, Inc., of Sacramento, California, in the amount of $22,538.
