RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute a purchase order in an amount not to exceed $188,842 with Cummins West for the purchase and installation of Diesel Engine Particulate Traps.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This cost is to be funded through Public Works FY2011/12 Budget (100% Road Funds).

BACKGROUND:

General Services Fleet Management is responsible for keeping the Counties vehicle fleet in compliance with all state and local agencies policies. Bay Area Air Quality Management District has an ordinance which makes it mandatory to have all diesel powered vehicles over 14,000 pounds and built prior to 2009, outfitted with particulate traps. These units act like a catalytic converter on gas units, using the vehicle's exhaust heat to destroy unburned fuel and other combustible byproducts. The 13 units quoted here represent the final phase of this project, as Fleet will be 100% equipped with all necessary equipment. BAAQMD’s mandate on this stipulates all vehicles must be so equipped by December 31, 2011.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, Diesel Engine particulate traps will not be purchased.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

None
