Motion
ITEM:
Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding the purchase of a new WACHS Water Valve Maintenance Trailer for Public Works Department - Water Division. (Manuel Rojas, Assistant Public Works Director)
SUMMARY:
The new equipment purchase has been approved in the Budget FY 2015-2016. The WACHS Water Valve Maintenance Trailer LX will be replacing an existing damaged unit. The equipment would enable the City to run a more efficient and accountable water valve maintenance program. The trailer system is composed of a water main valve exercise machine, vacuum system, pressure washer and has GPS capabilities. If approved, the equipment will be purchased through Balar Equipment in Phoenix, AZ. Balar Equipment is the factory direct dealer for E.H. WACHS in Arizona and since this is a sole source provider, the bidding procedure does not apply under the City Purchasing Code §36.02. The total purchase price is $63,593.76.
RECOMMENDATION / SUGGESTED MOTION:
I MOVE TO APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF THE WACHS WATER VALVE MAINTENANCE TRAILER LX IN THE AMOUNT OF $63,594.00.

FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT:
WACHS trailer purchase is a budgeted item for FY 2015-2016 under Capital Equipment 300-302-90000 in the amount of $60,180.00. There is an increase in expected price and additional funds will be transferred from Minor Tools and Equipment Supplies 300-302-60035 if approved. We are currently replacing an existing and damaged unit. New unit will enable us to be more efficient and minimize impact on other Public Works divisions when borrowing equipment such as vacuum truck and pressure washer. The funds come from City Enterprise funds.
