A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL
APPROVING THE PURCHASE OF HEAVY-DUTY
EQUIPMENT LIFT AND FURTHER
APPROPRIATING FUNDS
WHEREAS, a new heavy-duty equipment lift is required for the new Municipal Service
Center (MSC) Transit Vehicle Maintenance Facility; and
WHEREAS, exact design and installation specifications for the new heavy-duty
equipment lift are needed by the contractor constructing the new MSC Transit Vehicle
Maintenance Facility in order to meet the City's construction schedule; and
WHEREAS, the lifting capacity of the lift that was originally planned would not
accommodate the Water Services Division's sewer vacuum trucks, and purchasing a higher
capacity lift would be more economical than purchasing a second lift. The relatively small
incremental cost to purchase the 75,000 -pound equipment lift should come from Water and
Wastewater funds; and
WHEREAS, to expedite the purchase, staff recommends purchasing the heavy-duty
equipment lift through another contract rather than seeking bids. The city of San Jose prepared
heavy-duty equipment lift bid specifications, which meet or exceed the needs of the MSC
Transit Vehicle Maintenance Facility. The specifications were competitively bid by the city of
San Jose. Municipal Maintenance Equipment, Inc., of Sacramento, was the successful low
bidder. Municipal Maintenance Equipment, Inc., has agreed to provide the heavy-duty
equipment lift to the City of Lodi at the same bid price.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council hereby approves the
purchase of a heavy-duty equipment lift from Municipal Maintenance Equipment, Inc., of
Sacramento, California, utilizing the city cf San Jose contract at a cost of $83,174.60; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that funds in the amount of $3,170.00 be appropriated
from the Water Capital Equipment Fund for this purchase.
