THE CITY OF w 0 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT I pLEASANTON. September 1, 2015 Operations Services TITLE: APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF A "CAMEL 1200" COMBINATION SEWER CLEANER VACUUM TRUCK SUMMARY A vacuum truck is a tank truck designed to clean and maintain the sanitary sewer, and to a lesser extent the storm sewer system, through the use of an integrated high pressure water jetting system to clean pipes, manholes, and wet wells, and an integrated heavy duty vacuum system which is designed to pneumatically transfer the associated solids, liquids, and sludge through a heavy duty suction line into the onboard storage chamber. Additionally, these vehicles are deployed to clean up SSOs (Sanitary Sewer Overflows) and environmentally hazardous wastewater spills. The Utilities department currently has two older (model years 1998 and 2004) vacuum trucks which are at the end of their functional lives. The purchase of a new vacuum truck will significantly increase reliability and regulatory compliance readiness, as well as enhance the day to day efficiency in maintaining the sanitary and storm sewer systems. RECOMMENDATION Approve a Purchase Order in the amount of $375,402 be issued to enable the Utilities Division to purchase a Camel vacuum truck. The purchase would be made through a Cooperative Purchase Agreement in conjunction with the National Joint Powers Alliance, which meets the City's competitive bidding requirement. FINANCIAL STATEMENT The total cost of this equipment complete with chassis, licensing, and tax is $375,402 which is scheduled in the 2019-20 budget year in the Equipment Replacement Fund (042-900). Due to condition of the current vehicles we recommend authorizing the budget be authorized to the current budget year. The Fund balance is currently $2.5 million.
