City Council Memorandum Public Works & Utilities Memo No.
ST22-006
Date:
October 11, 2021
To:
Mayor and Council
Thru:
Joshua H. Wright, City Manager
Debra Stapleton, Assistant City Manager
John Knudson, Public Works and Utilities Director
From:
Kevin Lair, Transportation Manager
Subject:
Purchase of Traffic Bucket Trucks
Proposed Motion:
Move City Council approve the purchase of two Bucket Trucks, from Altec, Inc., utilizing Sourcewell Contract No. 012418-ALT, in the amount of $361,912, and authorize the City Manager or designee to sign a linking agreement with Altec, Inc.
Background/Discussion:
The City's Transportation Division is responsible for the maintenance of 224 signalized intersections and over 29,500 streetlights. Traffic operations staff utilize a bucket truck to service the signals and streetlights. A bucket truck is a service vehicle with an aerial lift device mounted on it. The truck must carry tools, equipment, parts, and staff to the work site and provide a safe aerial lifting device that can reach the top of all City streetlights and traffic signals. The Transportation Division currently operates two nine-year old bucket trucks, one with 80,000 miles (V#12024) and one with 71,000 miles (V#12025). The Fleet Advisory Committee has recommended both of these trucks to be replaced. The Committee considered the vehicles’ current tasking, maintenance history, reliability, and projected cost to operate before making the replacement recommendations.
Evaluation:
Sourcewell competitively solicited and awarded a contract for bucket trucks to Altec, Inc. The City has a current agreement with Sourcewell allowing for the cooperative use of its contracts. Staff recommends cooperative use of Sourcewell Contract No. 012418-ALT with Altec because the requested product has performed well, Fleet Services staff is trained on repair, and the bucket truck operators are familiar with the operation. The Sourcewell contract is valid through March 14, 2023.
Financial Implications:
A portion of the cost will be paid with Highway User Revenue Funds (HURF).
