Fleet Purchase Authorization - VacCon Combination High Pressure Cleaner and Vacuum Truck
Body
RECOMMENDED ACTION (Motion):
Staff recommends that the City Commission authorize the purchase of a VacCon Combination High Pressure Cleaner and Vacuum Truck. The price of the equipment is $353,761.00 and was a previously authorized expenditure within the FY15/16 biennial budget.
BACKGROUND:
Oregon City fleet purchases are managed through our Fleet Replacement Fund. Every year, each Public Works Division budgets a predetermined amount for deposit into the Fleet Replacement Account to assure adequate funding is available when new or replacement vehicles are scheduled for purchase. This particular asset will serve as the second generation combination truck that the City has acquired. The first generation of this asset was purchased in 2002 to support the City's sanitary and stormwater programs. Since its original acquisition, the department has budgeted annual contributions into the Fleet Replacement Fund to acquire a replacement at the end of its service life. There is sufficient funding within the Fleet Replacement Fund to allow the Public Works Department, Operations Divisions to fund and support the replacement asset.
For this purchase, staff is utilizing the National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA), an inter-governmental joint purchasing program, administered by the State of Minnesota. The purchasing program complies with all state procurement requirements set forth under ORS 279A.220 and the City of Oregon City is a registered signatory to the NJPA agreement.
