FILE NUMBER
Award a contract to Ironman Parts & Services, using the City of Santa
Clarita's contract, for the purchase of nine diesel emission control
systems in the amount not to exceed $ 90,000.
DISCUSSION
The Fleet Division of Finance and Management Services Agency maintains 600
operated vehicles. Additionally, staff monitors Government rules and
regulations on emission standards required of large fleets. A recent rule
from the California Air Resources Board, in conjunction with the Air
Quality Management District (AQMD), is Public Fleet Rule, Section 2022,
requiring the installation of particulate diesel traps in trucks from year
2002 and older. (Since 2002, the AQMD has prohibited the purchase of
diesel-powered trucks by public entities.) Staff has identified 39 City-
owned vehicles impacted by this rule. The mandate requires only 20 percent
(eight vehicles) of the City's fleet have the traps installed by
December 31, 2007, with additional phases scheduled through 2010.
The Santa Ana City Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to purchase
against contracts from any public agency utilizing a competitive bid
process. The City of Santa Clarita's contract with Ironman Parts & Service
for DPF Muffler 300HP Systems was awarded as a result of open, competitive
bidding, and meets the City's requirements. Staff recommends the purchase
of emission traps for nine heavy-duty dump trucks. A five percent
contingency has been included in the award amount.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Fleet Services Air Quality Improvement account
(no. 31-111-6631).
