BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Lodi Police Department traffic unit is in need of a replacement parking enforcement vehicle. The current parking enforcement vehicle was deemed irreparable and was placed "out of service" seven months ago. To prevent a lapse in seryice, the Parking Enforcement Assistant is driving the traffic van to conduct parking enforcement. Parking enforcement requires a three-wheel vehicle that is capable of making sharp turns and maneuvering in small areas. A parking enforcement vehicle purchase will allow the Parking Enforcement Assistant better maneuverability and improved fuel efficiencies while operating in the downtown area. The Police Department determined the only available three-wheeled vehicle in production is manufactured by Westward lndustries. The California authorized dealer for Westward lndustries is Municipal Maintenance Equipment of Sacramento. Since Westward lndustries is the only manufacturer of a three-wheeled vehicle, the Lodi Police Department is unable to obtain additional bids from other manufacturers or dealers and is requesting council authorization to award a sole-source purchase to Municipal Maintenance Equipment of Sacramento, Ca. FISCAL IMPAGT: Disabled Parking Violation funds are specifically designated for parking enforcement equipment and covers the majority of the purchase price of the vehicle. Remainder of funds will be appropriated through the Vehicle Replacement Fund. FUNDING AVAILABLE Disabled Parking Violation Fund - 2371 ($31 ,867.13) Vehicle Replacement Fund - 1201031 ($7,137.07) o an rS rll rnal Services Director MH/pjo cc: City Aftorney Mark Helms Chief of Police APPROVED: Stephe n Schwabauer, City anager The New TAILORED DESIGN - SPACE CONSCIOUS - ERGONOMICAL RETURN ON INVESTMENT - DOMESTICALLY BUILT - EFFICIENCY THE URBAN UTILITY VEHICLE A new and improved INT E R CEPTOR RESOLUTION NO. 2014-195 ARESoLUTIoNoFTHELoDICITYCoUNcILAPPRoVING THE SOLE-SOURCE PURCHASE OF A PARKING ENFORCEMENT VEHICLE FROM MAINTENANCE MUNICIPAL EQUIPMENT, OF SACRAMENTO, AND FURTHER APPROPRIATING FUNDS == ==== == ======== = == ===== = == == ============== == ===== = = WHEREAS, the Lodi Police Department is in need of a three-wheeled parking enforcement vehicle to replace the parking enforcement vehicle placed "out of seryice" seven months ago; and WHEREAS, the Police Department determined the only available three-wheeled vehicle is manufactured by Westward lndustries, and sold through their California authorized dealer, Maintenance Municipal Equipment, of sacramento.
