BACKGROUND The Parks and Utilities Divisions within the Operations Services Department use trucks to haul material and tools as well as tow equipment to and from work sites. These trucks are vital to the maintenance and operations of the City's parks and trail systems and water, sewer, and storm systems. The three vehicles scheduled for replacement in the City's twenty-year Repair and Replacement Plan, include two work trucks (units #826 and #311) and the sewer and pump maintenance truck (unit#101). These vehicles have been identified for replacement based on useful life cycle, mileage, and maintenance costs. These replacements will allow us to maintain current operational needs and increase safety features for our vehicle operators. Unit# Division Type Year Mileage Maintenance Costs 826 Parks F-150 2002 68,822 $19,408.22 311 Utilities F-150 2007 94,819 $35,708.46 101 Utilities F-450 2001 69,669 $50,956.94 Total Maintenance Costs $106,073.62 DISCUSSION Staff is proposing to upgrade the two (2) F-150 trucks to F-350 trucks for better towing and hauling capacity to support maintenance operations. Staff also proposes to upgrade one (1) F-450 truck to a F-550 truck to better support operations with increased hauling capacity and to support a new hoist crane. The addition of a new hoist crane will address access issues to pumps and work areas in sewers. Additionally, the newer vehicles have improved safety features such as anti-lock braking systems (ABS), additional lighting, and back-up cameras.

Sourcewell clients utilize cooperative purchasing contracts through similar joint powers, intergovernmental cooperation, or cooperative purchasing laws in their respective jurisdiction. Participating agencies include all eligible government, education, and nonprofit agencies nationwide and in Canada. This purchasing method complies with the City's Purchasing Policy. These trucks would be purchased through the Sourcewell (formerly known as NJPA) Contract# 120716-NAF with National Auto Fleet. Page 2 of 3
