2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the necessary documents.

The Public Works - Streets Section is responsible for maintaining the city's 700 lane miles of roadway, including the maintenance of traffic signals and over 4,000 streetlights. Streets have been focused on the transition of the City's streetlights to dark-sky compliant LED fixtures over the past couple years and this new vehicle will be dedicated to our streetlight and traffic signal program. Streets also maintain 48 signalized intersections across the city and the numerous pedestrian crossings. The purchase of an Altec AT48M Aerial Work Platform (a/k/a "bucket truck") would allow Streets to maintain the ability to service all of our City infrastructure in these programs.

The Streets Section will utilize the FY2025-26 budget in the following accounts:

• 040-06-161-0618-6-4401 - Streets Rolling Stock - $220,000
• 040-06-161-0614-6-4357 - Streets Repair and Maintenance - $13,526 overage will be covered in this account

1. Approve this Cooperative Purchase Contract with Global Rental Co., Inc.; or

The Streets section currently utilizes one Altec Aerial Work Platform mounted on a Freightliner cab/chassis. This unit is two-wheel drive and is a med/heavy-duty vehicle which has some limitations on access. The proposed purchase would add a bucket truck to the Section, allowing the two new Streetlight Technicians approved in 2022/2023 to conduct repairs and maintenance of street lighting, signal, and pedestrian crossings while allowing for the Signal Technician team to keep up with their workload.
