RECOMMENDED ACTION Approve specifications and authorize advertisement for bids to
maintain Electric Utility inventory levels through Fiscal Year
2021t22.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION. On December 20,2017 the City Council authorized staff to advertise
for and receive bids as needed to maintain stock levels of all Electric
Utility (EU) inventory items through Fiscal Year 2018119.
This action allowed staff to advertise, receive, and evaluate bids without having to seek City Council
approval for the specifications during this time period. Staff then provided the Council with the bid results
and a recommendation to award each bid in accordance with the City's purchasing policy.
Staff recommends continuing the practice of gaining a single approval from City Council to approve
specifications and solicit bids for all EU inventory items as needed to maintain stock levels through Fiscal
Year 2021122. City Council approvalto award bids compliant with the specifications and the City's
purchasing policy will continue to occur for each purchasing event. This will effectively reduce the overall
lead time to procure EU inventory items by severalweeks.
The specifications for EU inventory items are on file at the Lodi Electric Utility offices located at 1331 South
Ham Lane.
