WHEREAS, Lodi Electric Utility (LEU) currently purchases various consumables and
other miscellaneous safety supplies from multiple suppliers; and
WHEREAS, LEU seeks to streamline its operations by procuring turn-key vending and
supply-chain automation services by installing customized vendor-owned machine(s) capable of
supplying utility-selected materials and items on demand to authorized users; and
WHEREAS, in addition to streamlining operations, staff foresees realizing a number of
efficiencies, such as better item availability, reduced employee wait times, around-the-clock
availability, and improved access/inventory control; and
WHEREAS, since this service simply provides a different method for procuring certain
types of items which LEU is already purchasing, LEU anticipates no net increase in spending.
Funding for these items currently comes from various LEU operating accounts, depending on
the specific item, and will continue to be budgeted and allocated accordingly; and
WHEREAS, LEU requested and received proposals from multiple vendors for these
services, and of the proposals received, staff recommends Elite Supply Source, lnc., to provide
the requested materials and services.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE lT RESOLVED that the Lodi Gity Council does hereby
