(Government Code § 4526, Public Contract Code § 10359)
SECTION 2. 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. Bidders' List. The purchasing officer shall also solicit sealed bids from all
responsible prospective suppliers whose names are on the bidders' list.
3
3. Internet Posting. The purchasing officer may also advertise pending bids for
purchases or sales on the city's web page.
D. Bidder's Security. 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.
A. Minimum Number of Informal Bids or Quotations. Open market purchases shall,
wherever possible, be based on at least three informal bids or quotations, and shall be
awarded to the lowest responsible bidder.
4
B. Request for Quotations. The purchasing officer or purchasing authority shall solicit
informal written bids or quotations from prospective vendors by written request, by
telephone or by electronic data interchange. Quotations or informal bids shall be in
writing for amounts greater than ten thousand dollars.
C. Quotations and written informal bids shall be submitted to the requestor, who shall
keep a record of all quotations, bids, and open market orders for a period of one year
after the submission of quotations or the placing of orders. 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. In lieu of publication of the full text of the Ordinance within fifteen (15) days
after its passage, a summary of the Ordinance may be published at least five (5) days prior to
and fifteen (15) days after adoption by the City Council, and a certified copy shall be posted in
the office of the City Clerk pursuant to Government Code section 36933(c)(1).

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.

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

writing for amounts greater than ten thousand dollars.

keep a record of all quotations, bids, and open market orders for a period of one year
after the submission of quotations or the placing of orders. 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.

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 3.20.110. Bidding shall be dispensed with only

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

procure services, except as noted in Section 3.20.085.

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

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.

quality, service, and factors considered in Section 3.20.100 (E) above, being equal and

keep a record of all quotations, bids, and open market orders for a period of one year
after the submission of quotations or the placing of orders. 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
