BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Funds to purchase a nine wheel articulated rubber tire roller for the Street Division of the Public Works Department were budgeted and approved in the 2001103 Equipment Replacement Fund. This vehicle will replace existing Unit 04-107, a nine wheel non -articulated rubber tire roller. Unit 04-107 is a fully depreciated, 1972 Ingram model UC -263, with an hour meter reading of 3,140 hours. It was purchased for $9,010.00 in 1989 and has accumulated $30,975.00 in repair costs, as well as $2,470.50 to rent an additional roller when the unit was down waiting for parts. This roller is 29 years old, parts are difficult to acquire, and its dependability is questionable. Rental units are not readily available during peak construction periods. The Street Division uses this roller on a daily basis during the construction season for street repairs and maintenance. This type of equipment is not available in alternative fuel CNG engines. Our recommendation is to purchase the rubber tire roller through another contract rather than seeking our own bids. Sonoma County prepared rubber tire roller bid specifications, which meet the exact needs of the City of Lodi requirements, and received many competitive bids. The City of Lodi can purchase the roller under Sonoma County's contract. Purchasing under the Sonoma County contract will save the City of Lodi staff time, secure a good price based on competitive bids, and provide a unit that meets the needs of the City rather than an unknown low -bid unit.
