REQUEST FOR <br />COUNCIL ACTION <br />CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: <br />SEPTEMBER 18, 2006 <br />TITLE: <br />CONTRACT AMENDMENT FOR <br />STREET SWEEPERS <br />(SPEC. NO. 06-008) <br />CITY MANAGER <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br />APPROVED <br />^ As Recommended <br />^ As Amended <br />^ Ordinance on 151 Reading <br />^ Ordinance on 2"d Reading <br />^ Implementing Resolution <br />^ Set Public Hearing For_ <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Amend the contract to Haaker Equipment Company for the purchase of one <br />compressed natural gas street sweeper in the amount of $257,583.92. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The Fleet Maintenance Division's annual Equipment Replacement Program is <br />included in the City's annual budget and identifies vehicles scheduled for <br />replacement. Funding is monitored through a depreciation schedule <br />established with each department. Additionally, the Fleet Division reviews <br />the acquisition in accordance with the City's Hybrid and Alternative Fuel <br />Vehicle Acquisition Policy. The compressed natural gas (CNG) sweeper <br />complies with the Air Quality Management District (AQMD) standards for <br />alternative fuel street sweepers. <br />The Public Works Agency uses 11 street sweepers to cover over 300 miles of <br />residential streets, 100 miles of primary streets, 50 miles of industrial <br />areas; and 25 miles of alleys. The program also includes sweeping over <br />81,000 curb miles and the removal of 11,000 cubic yards of gutter litter <br />each year. Due to age, engine hours, and condition, the last 1999 diesel <br />Athey sweeper has been approved for replacement in the current fiscal year. <br />To comply with AQMD standards, the new street sweeper will be a CNG unit. <br />Specifications for the new sweeper also call for a high right side dump <br />hopper system to accommodate proper disposal directly to the Waste <br />Management trash dumpsters. <br />On March 20, 2006, the City Council awarded a contract to Haaker Equipment <br />Company for the purchase of two CNG street sweepers. The vendor has <br />offered to extend the same terms and conditions for one additional <br />Mechanical Broom street sweeper. Therefore, staff recommends amending the <br />contract with Haaker Equipment Company. <br />22D-1 <br />
