For one-day <br />projects, it is more cost-effective to rent in-lieu of purchasing the equipment. Rentals include but are <br />not limited to generators, electric power snakes, skid steer loaders, forklifts, concrete saws, <br />compressors, sod cutters, and stake bed trucks with lift gates. In addition, small quantities of <br />concrete are purchased to allow for quick and easy use for minor repair projects. <br />On June 4, 2012, the City Council awarded a contract to Untied Rentals, Inc. for a one-year period <br />with provisions for three, one-year renewals. United Rentals, Inc. has performed satisfactorily <br />during the past contract period and has agreed to renew the contract without an increase in <br />pricing. Staff recommends the first renewal of the contract. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds are available in the various departmental Miscellaneous Operating Expenses account (no. <br />63001). <br />Francisco Gutierrez <br />Executive Director <br />Finance & Mgmt.
