10 <br /> THE CITY OF <br /> L£�S�4NTON� CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT <br /> August 16, 2022 <br /> Operations Services <br /> TITLE: APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF A 45-FOOT BUCKET TRUCK FROM <br /> ALTEC IN THE AMOUNT OF $175,200 <br /> SUMMARY <br /> Staff is requesting City Council approval to purchase a new 45-foot bucket truck to <br /> replace the current 25-year old 1997 Ford F Super Duty Altec AT250G Aerial Truck <br /> (Unit #201), which is at the end of its service life. The truck is experiencing <br /> compromised reliability issues which have led to costly maintenance requirements and <br /> excessive downtime, and is scheduled for replacement as part of the City's vehicle <br /> replacement plan. <br /> Staff is recommending replacing the truck with a current industry standard unit Ford <br /> F550 Altec AT4OG telescoping articulating aerial device. Bucket trucks have a useful life <br /> of 20 years and/or 5,000 hours of use. Due to the newer age of this unit, this <br /> replacement will also help meet the California Air Resource Board (GARB) diesel- <br /> powered regulations. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> Approve the purchase of a bucket truck for the Operations Services Department and <br /> authorize the City Manager to execute a Purchase Order with Altec in the amount of <br /> $175,200.00 which includes a 15 percent contingency. <br /> FINANCIAL STATEMENT <br /> This purchase is budgeted and funded in the Vehicle Replacement Fund (510) in FY <br /> 2022/23. <br />
