WHEREAS, in 2016, the City Council approved a five-year agreement with Altec
Industries, Inc. (Altec) to provide maintenance, testing, and repair services on Altec-equipped
vehicles and equipment; and
WHEREAS, the services provided by Altec are those which require expertise beyond the

WHEREAS, the agreement with Altec was extended one additional year beyond the
original term and expired on June 30, 2022; and
WHEREAS, the five-year Professional Services Agreement will be a successor to the
expired agreement that will ensure the ongoing readiness of the Electric Utility (EU) fleet to
respond to both routine and emergency work; and
WHEREAS, EU utilizes a specialized fleet of vehicles and equipment for the purpose of
building, constructing, and maintaining overhead and underground electrical lines and these fleet
units are up -fitted with Altec mechanical and electronic systems that require specialized training
to troubleshoot, repair, and maintain; and
WHEREAS, federal and State regulatory mandates require a battery of tests by certified
technicians to ensure worker safety while operating in an energized environment, all of which
were services provided by Altec during the term of the now -expired agreement; and
WHEREAS, in addition to the specialized services Altec provides to EU, the City's Fleet
Services Division relies upon Altec as the authorized vendor for parts, materials, and services
outside their expertise or licensing; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with Lodi Municipal Code Section 3.20.070 which allows the
bid process to be waived when there is a need for branded replacement parts for equipment and
when technical requirements preclude competitive bidding, staff recommend approval of a five-
year agreement with Altec as outlined above for EU fleet maintenance, testing and repair services.
