Consideration and Approval of a Cooperative Purchase Contract: Approve the purchase of a 900-ECO 12 Yard Truck Mounted Combination Sewer Cleaner through the Sourcewell cooperative purchase contract, from Sewer Equipment of America and its Arizona distributor Arizona Wastewater Industries in the amount of $408,979.07 plus any additional fees or taxes.

1. Approve the purchase of a 900-ECO 12 Yard Truck-mounted Combination Sewer Cleaner through the Sourcewell cooperative purchase contract No. 122017-SCA with Sewer Equipment of America through its Arizona distributor Arizona Wastewater Industries in the amount of $408,979.07 plus any additional fees or taxes; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the necessary documents.

The City of Flagstaff operates and maintains over 93-miles of stormwater drain lines with over 3840 catch basins. Currently, the Streets Section of Public Works provides the necessary labor and equipment to do this work. In early 2019, the 1997 Safe Jet Vactor Combo Truck broke down and substantial repairs are necessary to put the truck back in operation. Fleet Services along with Public Works and Water Services made the decision to seek replacement of the equipment due to the age and condition of the 1997 truck.  This acquisition is before you for consideration and hopeful approval.

The replacement of the 1997 Safe Jet Vactor Combo Truck was not budgeted for FY2019-20 but the need is critical for the operation and maintenance of the stormwater collection system. Funding capacity does exist within the Water Services Stormwater Section capital budget under account 206-08-385-3454-0 Stormwater Future Improvements - Reserve.

Provide a sustainable and equitable public facilities, services, and infrastructure system in an efficient and effective manner to serve all population, area and demographics.

Part of getting a long and useful life in the stormwater collection system is proper maintenance and operation. Crews use specialized equipment to inspect, maintain, and clean the miles of storm drains. The City currently has over 93-miles of storm drain and 3840 catchbasins. The requested equipment will help reduce the impact of heavy rains and storm run-off by removing the solids and debris(rocks, cinder, sand sticks, trash, etc.) from the piping network which includes catchbasins, scuppers, and drain lines.
 

• The existing truck is over 20 years old and needs major repairs and overhaul if not replaced.
• The new truck is currently available for delivery and can be put in to use before the next monsoon season.
