BACKGROUND <br /> The Streets and Signs Division is equipped with a 2001 Freightliner FL70 with a loader <br /> for asphalt and emulsion system for street maintenance and repairs. The patch truck <br /> was scheduled for replacement in FY 2012/2013 but was deferred to FY 2018/2019. <br /> Due to the age of the patch truck, the emulsion and heating systems have required <br /> multiple repairs in the past three years resulting in delayed street repairs and increased <br /> maintenance costs. As a result, this past year, staff was able to put down only 138 tons <br /> of asphalt versus 299+ tons laid in previous years. As identified in the Repair and <br /> Replacement Plan, the patch truck has a 12-year useful life and has been in service for <br /> 6 years past its scheduled replacement. <br /> The proposed patch truck is a PB Model B-5 Patch Truck equipped with a loader for <br /> asphalt, electric heating system and emulsion system that is unit mounted on a 2019 <br /> Peterbilt 337 Conventional Chassis (see photo below). Specifications for the new truck <br /> will be more efficient and provide safer operation for staff (i.e. 6" emulsion tank cleanout <br /> door in lieu of the standard 2" cleanout door, electric overnight heating system for the <br /> asphalt and emulsion tank, and back up camera for safe operations). <br /> The purchase would be made through the Sourcewell (formerly NJPA) cooperative <br /> purchasing contract. The cooperative purchasing contract is a program that allows state <br /> and local governments to purchase goods and services from approved vendor industry <br /> contracts. Agencies that use these contracts are bound by the terms, conditions and <br /> pricing provided by the agreements. <br /> 411 gut <br /> 41 e <br /> • <br /> Submitted by: Fiscal Review: Approved <br /> k,\‘\".\\ <br /> Kathleen Yurchak Tina Olson Nelson Fialho <br /> Director of Operations Director of Finance City Manager <br /> and Water Utilities <br />
