With the assistance of the Fleet Services Team, the PWA <br />Maintenance Services Division is requesting a new Bobcat S66 with Felling trailer. <br />The PWA Maintenance Services Division is responsible for maintaining approximately <br />400 miles of streets and 800 miles of sidewalks. As a part of its work equipment fleet, <br />the Division requires a skid steer loader vehicle. The skid steer loader is a versatile and <br />multi-functional all-purpose vehicle with a wide range of attachments that enables staff <br />to carry out various tasks efficiently during their daily field operations. These tasks <br />include moving and lifting heavy objects, such as tree limbs, tree trunks, and clearing <br />away illegally dumped debris and rubbish. The compact size of the vehicle makes it <br />suitable for use in tight locations that require nimble operation, such as narrow alleys <br />and easements. Moreover, the vehicle is essential in emergency situations, such as <br />responding to rain and windstorm events as well as after-hours emergency service <br />calls, making it a vital asset for the City's emergency preparation efforts. <br />Santa Ana City Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to purchase against <br />contracts from any public agency utilizing a competitive bid process.
