Date:

Subject:
Purchase of Combination Sewer Cleaner
Proposed Motion:
Move City Council approve the purchase of a 9-yard combination sewer cleaner, from AZ Wastewater Industries, Inc., utilizing Sourcewell Contract No.122017-SCA, in the amount of $535,292.97.
Background/Discussion:
The City’s Transportation Division maintains 80 miles of underground storm sewer lines, 3,301 storm sewer scuppers, 3,548 catch basins, and 251 dry wells. The combination sewer cleaner truck is a vital part of the scheduled maintenance of those assets. This vehicle is used almost daily to maintain and clean those assets on a scheduled maintenance program.
This purchase is for a combination sewer cleaner truck to replace a 16-year old sewer cleaner truck. The Fleet Advisory Committee has recommended the vehicle be replaced. The committee considered the vehicles’ current tasking, maintenance history, reliability, and projected cost to operate before making the replacement recommendation.
Evaluation:
Sourcewell competitively solicited and awarded a contract for sewer equipment to AZ Wastewater Industries, Inc. The City has a current linking agreement with AZ Wastewater Industries and an agreement with Sourcewell allowing for the cooperative use of its contracts. Staff recommends cooperative use of this contract because the requested product has performed well, staff is trained on repair, and the street operators are familiar with the operation. The Sourcewell contract is valid through November 29, 2025.
Financial Implications:
The program's total cost of $535,292.97 will be partially funded in the amount of $35,293 from the Street Construction/Various Improvements (6ST303) program, which will be transferred to the Streets Vactor Truck Replacement Program.
