A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL
APPROVING SALE OF 1956 GALION ROAD
GRADER AND USE AGREEMENT
WHEREAS, the Streets and Drainage Division of the Public Works Department has a
unique opportunity to remove a seldom -used but necessary piece of equipment from the fleet
and still have an "as needed" right of use. The 1956 Galion road grader (Vehicle Unit
No. 04-029) is used just a few times a year but has proven to be a valuable asset when needed;
and
WHEREAS, A.M. Stephens, Inc., of Lodi, proposed a use agreement by which it would
take possession of the grader, provide all necessary maintenance, and make the grader
available for the City's use when needed at no cost. This provides a good alternative to
maintaining a needed but infrequently -used piece of equipment while providing the Streets and
Drainage Division with access to a grader without the rental expense, which can be up to
$2,000 a day; and
WHEREAS, the use agreement allows A.M. Stephens to purchase the grader for $1,000.
The estimated value of the grader in its existing condition is approximately $4,000. In return,
A.M. Stephens, Inc., agrees to do all required maintenance and allow the Streets and Drainage
Division to use the grader as needed at no cost. Should A.M. Stephens no longer need the
grader, it will be returned to the Streets and Drainage Division at no cost; and
WHEREAS, the use agreement shall be in effect through December3l, 2018, at which
time it shall be re -negotiated.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby approve
the sale of the 1956 Galion road grader in the amount of $1,000 and authorize the City Manager
to execute the use agreement with A.M. Stephens, Inc., of Lodi, California.
