DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency (PWA)’s Fleet Services Division is responsible for the
acquisition, maintenance, repair, and replacement of vehicles, trucks, and maintenance
equipment. The Public Works Agency’s Maintenance Services Division is responsible
for the maintenance of approximately 400 miles of streets and 50,000 street trees.
Aerial/tree trimmer combo truck(s) are used daily at multiple job sites in the removal of
tree trimming and landscaping, in the removal of fallen tree branches and limbs, and for
use in emergency storm response situations involving downed trees. The vehicle’s
unique design incorporates the use and functionality of an aerial bucket truck and
chipper box into the same vehicle, providing work efficiency and cost effectiveness.
Additionally, these trucks will allow staff to promptly and effectively address customer
requests on a daily basis.
Santa Ana City Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to purchase against
contracts from any public agency utilizing a competitive bid process. Sourcewell, a
cooperative government purchasing agency, awarded a contract to Terex Utilities, Inc.
(Contract No. 110421-TER) as a result of open, competitive bidding on behalf of its
members, which includes government agencies.
