The Lodi Municipal Code Chapter 3.20 entitled "Purchasing System" is hereby amended to read as follows: Sections: 3.20.045 - State and local agency contracts. The bidding process described in this chapter may be waived when advantageous for the city and authorized by the city manager for purchase of supplies, equipment, or contractual services awarded in accordance with formally adopted bidding or negotiation procedures approved by the governing boards of other California public agencies. Purchases or contracts in excess of the City Manager's contract authority as defined by Section 2.12.060(T) of this code shall require the approval of the city council. 3.20.070 - Bidding. Purchases of supplies, services, equipment, and the sale of personal property shall be by bid procedures pursuant to Sections 3.20.100 and 320110. Bidding shall be dispensed with only (1) bid in cases of emergency as defined in this chapter, and therefore requires that an order be placed with the best available source of service or supply, (2) when the amount involved is less than ten thousand dollars (but competitive quotes shall be obtained if it is in the city's best interest to do so), (3) when the commodity can be obtained from only one vendor, due to (a) product standardization by resolution of the city council, or (b) need for branded replacement parts or supplies for equipment of like brand; (4) when professional or technical requirements preclude competitive bidding, pursuant to Section 3.20.075 of this chapter, or (5) when the city council determines that the purchase or method of purchase would be in the best interests of the city. 3.20.080 - Purchase orders. Purchases of supplies and equipment in an amount of ten thousand dollars or more shall be made only by written contract or by purchase orders. Purchase orders should not be used to procure services, except as noted in Section 3.20.085. 3.20.100 - Formal contract procedure. Purchases of supplies, equipment, contractual services, public projects, and sales of personal property of an estimated value greater than the City Manager's contract authority as defined by Section 2.12.060(T) of this code shall follow the formal contract procedure: A. Specifications and plans shall be subject to review and approval by the city council prior to the solicitation of bids. B. The advertisement for bids will be conducted as provided for in the Government Code. C. Notice Inviting Bids. Notice inviting bids shall include a general description of the articles to be purchased or sold, or work to be performed, and shall state where bid forms and specifications may be secured and the time and place for opening of bids. 1. Published Notice. Notice inviting bids shall be published at least ten calendar days before the date of opening of the bids. Notice shall be published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation, printed and published in the city, or if there is none, it shall be posted in at least three public places in the city that have been designated by ordinance as the places for posting public notices. 2.

When required by law or deemed necessary by the purchasing officer, bidder's security may be prescribed in the notice inviting bids. Bidders shall be entitled to the return of their bid security; except that a successful bidder shall forfeit all or part of his or her bid security upon refusal or failure to execute the contract within ten days after the notice of award of contract has been mailed, unless the city is responsible for the delay. The city council may, on refusal or failure of the successful bidder to execute the contract, award it to the next lowest responsible bidder. Thereafter, if the city council awards the contract to the next lowest bidder, the amount of the lowest bidder's security shall be applied by the city to the difference between the low bid and the second lowest bid, and the surplus, if any, shall be returned to the lowest bidder. E. Bid Opening Procedure. Sealed bids shall be submitted to the purchasing officer and shall be identified as bids on the envelope. Bids shall be opened in public at the time and place stated in the notice inviting bids. A tabulation of all bids received shall be available for public inspection during regular business hours for a period of not less than thirty calendar days after the bid opening. F. Rejection of Bids. In its discretion, the city council may reject any and all bids presented and, if it is in the city's best interest to do so, readvertise for bids. G. Award of Contracts. After evaluation of bids, contract shall be awarded by the city council to the lowest responsible bidder except as otherwise provided in this chapter. In determining the lowest responsible bid, considerations shall include but not be limited to such factors as (1) whether any portion of the state sales tax payable on the article which is the subject of the bid will be rebated to the city by reason of awarding such contract to a person or firm domiciled within the city, (2) total life -cycle costs, and/or (3) residual value. H. Tie Bids. If two or more bids received are for the same total amount or unit price, with quality, service, and factors considered in Section 3.20. 100 (E) above, being equal and if the public interest will not permit the delay of readvertising for bids, the city council may accept the lowest bid determined by toss of a coin performed at a time as soon after the bid opening as is possible. Performance Bond. The city council shall have authority to require a performance bond before entering a contract in such amount as it shall find reasonably necessity to protect the best interests of the city. If the city council requires a performance bond, the form and amount of the bond shall be described in the bidding documents. 3.20.110 - Open market procedure. Purchases of supplies, equipment, contractual services and sales of personal property of an estimated value in the amount of the City Manager's contract authority as defined by Section 2.12.060(T) of this code or less may be made in the open market without observing the formal contract procedure prescribed by Section 3.20.100.

This record, while so kept, shall be open to public inspection. D. The purchasing officer or purchasing authority may reject any and all informal bids, offers and quotations when, in his or her discretion, it shall be in the best interest of the city to do so. SECTION 3. No Conflict. All ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict herewith are repealed insofar as such conflict may exist. SECTION 4. No Mandatory Duty of Care. This ordinance is not intended to and shall not be construed or given effect in a manner which imposes upon the City, or any officer or employee thereof, a mandatory duty of care toward persons or property within the City or outside of the City so as to provide a basis of civil liability for damages, except as otherwise imposed by law. SECTION 5. Severability. If any provision of this ordinance or the application thereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the ordinance which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application. To this end, the provisions of this ordinance are severable. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance irrespective of the invalidity of any particular portion thereof. SECTION 6. Effective Date and Publication. This Ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after its adoption.

This record, while so kept, shall be open to public inspection. D. The purchasing officer or purchasing authority may reject any and all informal bids, offers and quotations when, in his or her discretion, it shall be in the best interest of the city to do so.

If any provision of this ordinance or the application thereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the ordinance which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application.

If two or more bids received are for the same total amount or unit price, with quality, service, and factors considered in Section 3.20.100 (E) above, being equal and if the public interest will not permit the delay of readvertising for bids, the city council may accept the lowest bid determined by toss of a coin performed at a time as soon after the bid opening as is possible.

SECTION 5. Severability. If any provision of this ordinance or the application thereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the ordinance which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application.
