The PWA Water Resources Division oversees and maintains the daily <br />operations of the City’s water and sanitary sewer systems. The Division is requesting to <br />purchase a flatbed truck equipped with a cement mixer and accessories to be utilized by <br />the Sewer System Maintenance section. The smaller footprint of this vehicle allows for <br />work to be performed in smaller spaces where the larger cement trucks are not able to <br />fit, and also allows crews to easily perform work at multiple locations throughout the <br />day. <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. Sourcewell, a <br />cooperative government purchasing agency, awarded a contract to PB Loader <br />Corporation (Contract No. 080521-PBL) as a result of open, competitive bidding on <br />behalf of its members, which includes government agencies. <br />After thorough research of procurement options and product offerings in the market, <br />Staff has concluded that PB Loader Corporation aligns with the City's specifications. By <br />utilizing cooperative purchasing, the City of Santa Ana can access nationally vetted, <br />high-quality products at competitive volume pricing. This approach is fully compliant with
