DISCUSSION The Finance and Management Services Agency Facilities, Fleet Maintenance, and Central Stores Division is responsible for the acquisition, maintenance, repair, and replacement of vehicles, trucks, and maintenance equipment. Replacement of City vehicles is based on mileage and performance. Due to budget constraints in past years, only Police Department patrol units were replaced. Consequently, other vehicles have exceeded their useful lifecycle resulting in increased maintenance and repairs costs and lowered vehicle performance. Based on the City's lifecycle replacement criteria the following Police and Public Works Agency vehicles will be purchased: two Honda Civics NGV, three F -250 Ford trucks, six Ford Interceptor Police sedans, one Chevy % ton utility truck, and one Ford Explorer. The vehicles being replaced range from model years 1998 to 2006 and therefore experience more downtime and require an aggressive and more expensive maintenance program. Additionally, the Public Works Agency Water Resources Division performs a variety of maintenance and repairs to the City's water distribution system. A skid -steer loader is needed to collect soil, mud and other debris during water system repairs. This piece of equipment will allow for prompt cleanup and eliminate debris from City streets. 2213-1 Contracts Award for Vehicles and Skid -Steer Loader October 7, 2014 Page 2 Santa Ana Ordinance No. NS -2312 authorizes the City to purchase against contracts from any public agency utilizing a competitive bid process.
