RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Public Works Department, to execute a purchase order with Municipal Maintenance Equipment, in an amount not to exceed $388,988, for the purchase of a Vac-Con Combination Sewer and Storm Drain Cleaner mounted on a Peterbilt 365 Truck Chassis for Public Works Road and Flood Control Maintenance, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

61% Local Road Fund and 39% General Fund.

BACKGROUND:

To be used for cleaning and flushing storm drain catchbasins and culverts. This purchase is replacing an existing vehicle in the road maintenance fleet that has been removed from service and disposed of because it was beyond economical repair. There are approximately 9000 catchbasins and 2000 culverts within the County that this specific machine services through scheduled maintenance and during emergency responses.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Negative action would result in the inability to effectively provide routine maintenance to storm catchbasins and drains which can result in property damage and jeopardizing the road and flood control infrastructure.
