BACKGROUND The Streets and Signs Division is equipped with a 1995 Ford F450 Superduty truck outfitted for paint stencils and legends maintenance for the various traffic markings required throughout the city (i.e. parking stall striping, red curb, crosswalk, handicap markings, etc.). The stencil truck was scheduled for replacement in FY 2015/2016 but was deferred to FY 2019/2020. Staff is requesting to move the purchase of the stencil truck up to this fiscal year due increased maintenance costs caused by failures and breakdowns, resulting in a loss of productivity and an increased use of contractors to complete work that could otherwise be completed by City staff. As identified in the Repair and Replacement Plan, the stencil truck has a 20-year useful life and has been in service for 3 years past its scheduled replacement. The proposed stencil truck is a 2019 Ford F-450 chassis with a 2-pump system for paint materials and a customized stencil rack for the storage of tools and equipment. The stencil truck will also be equipped with a Wangco 180-degree arrow board for traffic control while work is being performed. The purchase would be made through the Sourcewell (formerly NJPA) cooperative purchasing contract. The cooperative purchasing contract is a program that allows state and local governments to purchase goods and services from approved industry vendors. Agencies that use these contracts are bound by the terms, conditions and pricing provided by the agreements.
