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