BACKGROUND <br /> The Leak Response Vehicle is an emergency response vehicle that is used to respond <br /> to emergency water main/service breaks and other utility related issues. The current <br /> vehicle is a 2004 Ford 550 outfitted with a tool body and air compressor. The vehicle is <br /> required to carry very specialized equipment such as pavement saws, torch sets, <br /> pumps, hand tools, chop saws and pavement tamper. Additionally, it is also equipped <br /> with a compressor and generator to power crucial pieces of equipment such as lights, <br /> pumps, ventilators and jack hammers needed for emergency repair work. <br /> For this vehicle, the industry has moved to medium duty and above chassis with utility <br /> bodies designed for utility work. Therefore, this vehicle would be replaced with a 2020 <br /> Peterbilt 337 Chassis with a Dakota Crane Body with improved storage, exterior lighting <br /> for night work, a stand-alone generator, heavier duty hoist and onboard compressor. <br /> This upgrade will increase the City's ability to address utility emergencies. <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 industry <br /> vendors. Agencies that use these contracts are bound by the terms, conditions and <br /> pricing provided by the agreementss • . <br /> OPP" • - 12.4, • <br /> i • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> Page 2 of 3 <br />
