AGENDA TITLE: Adopt resolution approving the design and awarding funding for the Firefighter Memorial at
Fire Station #4 to Natural Rock Formation of Valley Springs, California ($870.34) (FD)
MEETING DATE: November 7, 2001
PREPARED BY: Michael E. Pretz, Fire Chief
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Council approve the design and award funding to Natural Rock Formations
of Valley springs for Firefighter Memorial at fire station #4.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In 2000, prior to my arrival, permission to design and place a
memorial to Lodi firefighters who have died in the line of duty was given by former Fire Chief Scott
Kenley. The United Firefighters of Lodi have developed and pursued honoring the fallen firefighters with a
rock memorial. The rock is red sandstone and will have the names etched on the face of the rock along
with the Lodi Fire Department logo. Because the opening of Fire Station 4 offered the best timing for this
project, the committee moved forward choosing the rock and has also received a bid for the cost of the
etching. The United Firefighter's of Lodi have been asked to contribute to the memorial, the remainder of
the cost will be taken out of the construction contingency.
FUNDING: Fire Station #4 construction funding

WHEREAS, Lodi Municipal Code §3.20.070 authorizes dispensing with bids for purchases
of supplies, services, or equipment when it is in the best interest of the City to do so; and

firefighters with a rock memorial, which is red sandstone and will have names etched on the face of
the rock along with the Lodi Fire Department logo; and
WHEREAS, the opening of Fire Station #4 offers the best timing for this project, and
therefore the committee moved forward with choosing the rock and also received a bid for the cost
of the etching; and
WHEREAS, the United Firefighter's of Lodi have been asked to contribute to the memorial,
and the remainder of the cost will be taken out of the construction contingency; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends using a sole source purchase from Natural Rock Formation,
