f+#:1611to] :vi
In 2008, the District established Electric and Water Vehicle Replacement Funds to
provide a source of funds for periodic vehicle replacement. Funds are added each
year by both the Water and Electric Departments as described in the adopted budget.
3. NEW INFORMATION
Staff utilized the services of the National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA), a national
purchasing alliance that bring the benefit of volume pricing to it's members. The NJPA
solicited purchase pricing of the vehicle through a competitive bid process.
Staff is requesting the purchase of a smaller bucket truck to facilitate the electric crew
mobilization in the field. This smaller bucket truck will allow for staff to dispatch
quicker into the field, and to access smaller areas still using a bucket truck which
would be required.
Adding this vehicle to the fleet will assist the crews in everyday work and emergency
response, providing the District with a more economical smaller vehicle.
4. FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient funds exist in the Electric Department Vehicle Replacement Fund for the
purchase of the vehicle.
5. RECOMMENDATION
Award the purchase of one Altec Bucket Truck for Altec Industries, Inc. for the amount
of $153,000 with a 10% change order authorization, not to exceed $168,300, plus tax.
