A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING THE
CITY MANAGER TO APPROVE THE SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE OF A 2006
CHEVY EXPRESS VAN FROM THE LOEL CENTER AND APPROPRIATE
VEHICLE REPLACEMENT FUNDS
WHEREAS, the Lodi Police Department currently owns a 2000 Dodge Ram 250 CNG,
which operates on natural gas, and a 2005 Ford E450. The Dodge Ram 250 van has many
deficiencies, primarily the gas tank; and
WHEREAS, California requires natural gas tanks to be replaced on a 15 -year schedule.
In 2015, the natural gas tank must be replaced at an approximate cost of $9,000. The natural
gas feature has proven cumbersome due to limited mileage per tank and costlier maintenance
and repairs; and
WHEREAS, the LOEL Center in Lodi is selling a 2006 Chevy Express van. The van
currently has 10,632 miles, has been regularly maintained, and is in excellent condition. The
LOEL Center has offered to reduce its purchase price to $10,000 for the Lodi Police
Department; and
WHEREAS, the purchase of this vehicle will reduce future liability with the natural gas
van and allow the Police Department to rotate the 2005 Ford E450 to the Field Evidence
Technician unit and provide the Traffic Unit with a newer vehicle with less mileage.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby
authorize the City Manager to approve the sole source purchase of a 2006 Chevy Express van
from the LOEL Center of Lodi, CA, in an amount not to exceed $10,000; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council approves the appropriation of
$10,000 from the vehicle replacement fund for the purchase.
