EQUIPMENT PURCHASE REQUEST
RECOMMENDATION:
Request that the Tustin City Council at their regular meeting of June 5, 1989, authorize
the purchase of the equipment listed below from the Iow bidder as stated.
Further request, that cou'ncil authorize a supplemental appropriation from the water
fund in the amount of $14,200.00, to the Water Capital Equipment fund.
BACKGROUND:
The valve truck was authorized as an addition in the 1988-89 fiscal budget. The flat bed
truck was authorized as a replacement in the City's Equipment Lease fund, for the
current year. Council authorized solicitation of bids for the purchase for the purchase
of equipment on October 19, 1988, and December 19, 1988.
Bids were received on both trucks and related equipment until 10:00, a.m., in the office
of the City Clerk on May 11, 1989.
The valve maintenance truck was equipped with specialized equipment such as heavy duty
bed, hydraulic valve wrench directional safety arrow and hoist. This resulted in the bids
being higher then budgeted originally in the Water Capital Budget for Fiscal Year 1988-
89.
Staff has investigated the alternative of purchasing the truck and retro-fitting the
specialized equipment and bed at a later date. Findings indicate that substantial cost
would be incurred and warranties voided if we elected to exercise this alternative.
The I ton flat bed replacement truck for the Tree division came in 13% ($2,827.75),
over the projected estimated cost. This cost will be adjusted in the City's Lease Fund in
subsequent years.
