COUNCIL GOALS:
• Operate in a businesslike manner by creating a memorable customer experience with every interaction.
• Practice sound fiscal management by living within our means while investing in the future.
• Invest in the City’s infrastructure (streets, sewers, parks, etc.) by providing for the development of new infrastructure.
DISCUSSION:
The Public Works Department, Parks and Landscape Division is responsible for the maintenance and repair of the city park infrastructures which includes special projects. The aerial truck is an essential piece of equipment needed to maintain ballfield lights, hanging banners throughout the City and repairing scoreboards. The department is requesting to purchase a new vehicle to replace one of the existing trucks.
The selected aerial truck is being recommended for purchase after a comprehensive review process by Department staff, Field staff, and Fleet Services staff. Based upon the research, the truck meets the department needs. The aerial equipment will be mounted on a Ford F-550 chassis.
Fontana City Code Article V- Purchasing Section 10-152(4) authorizes bidding to be exempt since the competitive bidding was already conducted by another agency. Staff is recommending that City Council authorize this purchase between Altec and the City, and to “piggyback” off the Sourcewell Contract for the aerial truck.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding in the amount of $171,237.00 for the purchase of this vehicle has been approved in the FY 2023/2024 budget as part of the Fleet Services capital replacement, in Account No. 75137306.8319.
MOTION:
Approved staff recommendation.
