BACKGROUND
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has amended sections of the California Public
Transit Bus Fleet Regulation ARB 1956 to mandate the accelerated reduction of diesel emissions
in public transit bus fleets. As a result, the City is required to reduce toxic air contaminants
known as "diesel particulate matter," or PM, by 85%. As a result of a negotiated agreement with
CARB, the deadline for the City to achieve this reduction has been extended to June 30, 2007.
On March 8, 2007, the City's Purchasing Division received the following bids for the purchase
and installation of the required technology to achieve the above mentioned reductions:
Comnany
Ironman Parts and Services
Custom Turbo
Boerner Truck Center
Valley Power Systems
Bid Amount
$346,993.60
$358,682.25
$437,070.05
$489,364.22
Location
Corona, CA
Santa Fe Springs, CA
Pacoima, CA
Mira Loma, CA
The request for bids was advertised and notices sent to vendors who had contacted the City over
the past six months. This bid was conducted in compliance with federal standards.
As a result of the bid process, Ironman Parts and Services was the lowest responsive bidder.
Ironman also submitted a project timeline that allows the City to meet its June 30, 2007 deadline.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.

equipment, in the amount of $381,692.60 are budgeted in account number 2460-8615 for FY
2006/2007. No general funds will be used for this procurement.
