Background and Analysis:
The Public Works Department’s Waste Resources Line of Business has the need to replace three refuse collection trucks. Fleet Operations Services recommended the replacement because the ones in operation currently have reached the end of their serviceable life cycle. Fleet Operations Services conducted extensive research for refuse collection trucks. Using a cooperative purchasing contract through SourceWell, formerly National Joint Power Alliance (NJPA), Western Peterbilt, Inc. of Seattle, Washington is the one vendor that could provide the refuse trucks which best matches Waste Resources needs at the best value.
Neighborhood/Community Interests (if known):
None
Options:
1. Approve the resolution authorizing the purchase of three refuse collection trucks from Western Peterbilt, Inc., and authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement. The City will receive the best value by purchasing the vehicles from Western Peterbilt, Inc.
2. Do not approve the resolution authorizing the purchase of three refuse collection trucks from Western Peterbilt, Inc. Staff have negotiated the best purchase price utilizing a cooperative purchasing contract through SourceWell. Purchasing outside this cooperative would be more expensive to the City.
Financial Impact:
Staff recommends purchasing three refuse collection trucks from Western Peterbilt, Inc. in the amount of $708,164.14, which includes sales tax and all associated fees. Sufficient funds for the purchase are available in the ‘Equipment Rental and Revolving Fund’ account number 502.
