AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Approving Purchase of Concrete Street Light Standards from
Northern California Sales Company of Auburn ($41,228)
MEETING DATE: February 18, 2015
PREPARED BY: Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a resolution approving the purchase of concrete street light
standards from Northern California Sales Company of Auburn in an
amount not to exceed $41,228.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: There are several old concrete street light standards throughout the
City that have deteriorated beyond repair due to age and need to be
replaced. The original concrete street light standards were
manufactured locally using a City -owned mold. Approximately 15 years ago the mold was deemed un-
usable and the City contracted with Traditional Concrete of Milwaukee, Wisconsin to manufacture a new
mold for a similar concrete standard. Northern California Sales (NCS) Company of Auburn is the only
authorized dealer of these concrete street light standards in the Western United States.
Per Lodi Municipal Code 3.20.070 Bidding, "Bidding shall be dispensed... (3) when the commodity can be
obtained from only one vendor, due to (a) product standardization by resolution of the city council."
Resolution No. 2001-82 was adopted on April 4, 2001 approving the purchase of "Lodi Replica" street
light standards from the sole supplier, NCS Company of Auburn, representing Traditional Concrete, of
Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Electric Utility staff recommends the purchase of 24 concrete street light standards in an amount not to
exceed $41,228.
FISCAL IMPACT: Procurement cost is $41,228.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Included in FY2014/15 Budget Account No. 500.13496.
