12 <br /> THE CITY OF <br /> CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT <br /> - - :, m <br /> PLEASANTON <br /> February 7, 2023 <br /> Operations Services <br /> TITLE: APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF A HYDRAULIC VALVE OPERATING <br /> TRUCK AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A <br /> PURCHASE ORDER WITH SOURCEWELL IN THE AMOUNT OF <br /> $289,094 <br /> SUMMARY <br /> City staff is requesting the purchase a new hydraulic valve operating truck with vacuum <br /> capabilities to be used in exercising, maintaining, and repairing the 9,800 valves in the <br /> City's water system. The requested hydraulic valve operator is built on a new Ford F- <br /> 550 chassis and will replace the current 1990 hydraulic valve operator on a 2003 Ford <br /> chassis. In most instances, using the valve truck is the only way to isolate the larger <br /> valves in the system and is invaluable during emergencies. The current hydraulic valve <br /> operator and chassis have exceeded their useful service life and are no longer able to <br /> function as designed, which compromises staff's ability to control the City's water <br /> system. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> Approve the purchase of the requested E.H. WACHS Hydraulic Valve Truck and <br /> authorize the City Manager to execute a Purchase Order with Sourcewell in the amount <br /> of $251,386 plus 15 percent contingency ($37,708) totaling $289,094. <br /> FINANCIAL STATEMENT <br /> This purchase is funded within the Water Repair and Replacement Fund (Account <br /> 42442101-440107). Additional funds will be requested and included in the mid-year <br /> report that will be presented to the City Council in February. The purchase price is <br /> $251 ,386 including delivery and taxes; adding a 15 percent contingency ($37,708) <br /> brings the total to $289,094. <br />
