ITEM:

Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding the purchase of a new Leach 2R-111 rear loader refuse body.  (Jorge Perez, Assistant Director of Public Works)

SUMMARY:

The Department of Public Works and its Solid Waste division are seeking Council to purchase a new Labrie Leach 2R-111 rear loader refuse body to be installed on one of our existing chassis.  A rear loader truck will significantly improve both the safety and efficiency of uncontainerized solid waste loading and unloading operations, particularly mixed debris that is collected during the city’s community cleanup efforts as well as for the special pickup services offered to the residents of San Luis.

The Solid Waste division was approved $109,900.00 for the purchase of a used rear loader solid waste truck for the fiscal year 2022-2023.  In researching, the Fleet Services division found the option of refurbishing our existing 2004 Mack truck refuse body by installing this new Leach 2R-111 body.  This truck is currently in good mechanical shape, but unfortunately not being used due to its side loader body being damaged and obsolete.

The Public Works Department is asking for City Council's approval for this purchase in the amount of $106,862.40.  This rear loader body is being procured through a cooperative purchasing contract #091219-LEG with Labrie Enviroquip Group and through its authorized distributor in Arizona, Norwood Equipment.  This purchase falls under the provisions of City Code 3.05.090 Cooperative Purchasing.

RECOMMENDATION / SUGGESTED MOTION:

I MOVE TO APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF A LEACH 2R-111 REAR LOADER REFUSE BODY FROM NORWOOD EQUIPMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF $106,862.40.
