EndCOUNCIL GOALS:
• Practice sound fiscal management by living within our means while investing in the future.
DISCUSSION:
The Public Works Department, Parks & Landscape Division Technical Crew is responsible for the ongoing maintenance and repair of the City’s parks, athletic field lighting, and scoreboards. In addition to routine operations, an aerial lift truck is a critical piece of equipment required for emergency response and safety operations following adverse weather events. Following a comprehensive technical review by Department staff, the specified aerial equipment will be mounted on a Ford F-550 chassis and is recommended for purchase to ensure operational efficiency, and uninterrupted community service.
Purchasing Policies and Procedures Manual authorizes bidding to be exempt since the competitive bidding was already conducted by another agency utilizing Section 3.1.5 - Purchased by Another Agency. Staff is recommending that City Council authorize this purchase between Altec and the City, and to “piggyback” off the Sourcewell Contract #110421-ALT for this aerial truck.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding in the amount of $200,056.94 for the purchase One (1) Altec AT37G has been approved in the FY 2026/2027 budget as part of the Fleet Services capital replacement, in Account No. 75137306.8319.
MOTION:
