COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Purchase of Pole Setting/Equipment Handling Device
(MEETING DATE: June 1, 1994
!SUBMITTED BY: Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council concur with the recommendation to
purchase a modular pole setting/equipment handling device
from the sole supplier Reedrill Texoma, Sherman, Texas,
in the amount of $13,600 plus shipping.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Electric Utility Department has been searching for
equipment that can assist in erecting utility poles and
handle equipment in areas where access is limited and
cannot be gained with line trucks. such as backyards.
This specialized equipment is manufactured by Reedrill Texoma as modular unite that
can be configured for several different functions. Maximum use will be made of this
equipment due to the on-going pole replacement program and normal maintenance. The
various functions that the modular units provide include:
Equipment handling dolly
Pole handling dolly
Hydraulic pole setting device with power unit
The attached drawings show the different combinations of these modular units.
only one supplier of this unique equipment exists. In fact, authorized distributors
are currently not handling this equipment in Northern California; therefore, a
'direct from factory, purchase has been offered to the Department. Due to the sole
supplier situation, it is recommended that the bid procedure be dispensed with per
City of Lodi Municipal Code Section 3.20.070 which states:
"Bidding shall be dispensed with only when the commodity can
be obtained from only one vendor."
Included in the purchase price is on-site training ($1,500) in operation and
maintenance for all Department employees that will be operating this equipment.
Training is required by law.

Dimension "B" =1 foot minimum. Note: the greater dimension "B"

Dimension "C" = 1 foot plus an additional foot for each foot that
dimension "A" exceeds 8 feet (Caution: dimension "C" must be
maintained in relation to dimension "A" overhang.)
Dimension "D" = diameter of pole butt plus 6 inches.

GENERAL POLE SETTING PROCEDURE
1. Move the pole on the Two Wheel Dolly into position, in line with the
45° lead-in trench and pin steering for straight line operation.
2. Raise butt of pole high enough to permit moving the Setting
Attachment under pole and attaching to Dolly.
3. Remove the Pole Cradle Nylon Tightener and position the pole on unit
Per pole setting balance instructions.
4. Secure Pole Chain Tightener, attach Pump via Hi -Pressure Hose, and
double check all pins, couplings• digging bar position, trench
alignment, etc. CAUTION: Trench alignment can be very critical
and trench width should be only slightly wider than pole diameter.
If couplers are not completely connected, the cylinder relief valve will
operate and discharge oil onto the ground

The general pole setting procedure covered herein is intended for fairy
level horizontal terrain. We cannot, it, this bulletin, cover the unique ways
this unit has been used by various Power and Phone company crews as
they became proficient in its operation.
In the end, the safest and most productive use of this equipment can only
be realized when it is placed in the hands of an alert, well trained, safety
conscious crew.

The actual pole setting operation Is similar to piking In a pole, except •
= :.• ,
now hi -pressure hydraulics provides all the 1"Ift. A three man crew Is
'.
normally all that is required. one man to operate the Pump and two
'► �,
men to maintain balance. The Pump should be positioned as shown in
Figure 1, so the operator can sight down the pole and monitor balance
•:' •'
during the entire setting operation. Anytime the pole begins leaning to
:.
either side of the center fine, the operator must move the Pump control
•,"� �::
to HOLD position, and under his direction have the crew return the
,:;�
pole to balance directly over the Pole Setting Boom. CAUTION: Do
not continue the setting operation until baiance has been
reestablished. Balance can be maintained by using tag lines, pike
poles, or simply with palm hand pressure which Is used only when
setting small light poles.
® 6.
The descent of the pole in the hole can be controlled very successfully
by periodically moving the Pump+s 4 -way valve control handle to HOLD
as the pole begins to slide into the hole, and occasionally to RETRACT
position momentarily if it is sliding in too fast.

The digging bar is used to prevent the pole butt from hanging up on

the far side of the hole. More than one bar+ or possibly a channel iron,

may be required under certain soil conditions.
,
8.
Figure IV shows ::le pole in the hole with enough clearance to remove
the digging bar- After this has been done, move the control to
ADVANCE to straighten the pole.
9.
After the pole has been tamped in, the Chain Tightener can be

released, the Cradle fully retracted, and the Pump disconnected.
