of Petaluma on two modes, with a fleet of 18 vehicles of various sizes; and

WHEREAS, Petaluma Transit has a set of wired mobile lifts acquired well over a decade
ago that have far expended their useful lives and can no longer be relied upon to perform their
function safely and require replacement; and
WHEREAS, Petaluma Transit received demonstration sets of state -of -the- industry
wireless lifts from two of the top manufacturers of heavy duty mobile lifts, and evaluated each
for their ease of use, functionality, durability, and versatility, and identified the Stertil -Koni
ST1085 -2FWA as the ideal mobile lift for Petaluma Transit's usage, due to ease of movement
and the warranty in wet working environments; and
WHEREAS, the Petaluma Municipal Code section 4.04. 100 provides that purchases
made through a cooperative purchasing program with the state, county or other public agencies
are exempt from provision of Chapter 4.04 of the Petaluma Municipal Code which requires the
City to conduct its own competitive bid process for certain purchases and documentation as to
the advantage of the cooperative purchase will be retained; and
WHEREAS, there is no legal impediment to City of Petaluma making the funding
request.
