The Public Works Water Resources Division is in need of new crane <br />trucks to replace their older trucks that were purchased in 2000 and 2001. These trucks are used <br />to move heavy equipment such as pipe material, large water pumps, traffic plates, and fire <br />hydrants. Due to the extensive use and age of these vehicles, the trucks have proved to be <br />unreliable and very expensive to repair. Additionally, the existing trucks are fueled with diesel and, <br />due to California Air Resources Board requirements, must be replaced by 2021. The new trucks <br />will be fueled with compressed natural gas (CNG) powered by a Cummins near -zero emissions <br />engine, which is in alignment with the City's efforts to purchase alternative fuel vehicles to create. <br />an environmentally responsible City fleet. <br />Santa Ana Ordinance No. NS -2312 authorizes the City to purchase against contracts from any <br />public agency utilizing a competitive bid process.
