BACKGROUND
On June 24, 2006, the California Air Resources Board (CARE) adopted the "Fleet Rule for
Public Agencies and Utilities," which regulates the particulate matter emissions from on -road,
heavy-duty, diesel -fueled engines. This new regulation requires the City of Santa Clarita to
retrofit 20 percent of their heavy-duty, diesel fleet with particulate filters by December 31, 2007,
60 percent by December 31, 2009, and 100 percent by December 31, 2011.
The City currently has 14 heavy-duty, diesel -fueled vehicles in their fleet, 10 of which need to be
retrofitted. By retrofitting all of these vehicles now, the City will be in compliance with the
CARB fleet rule, and will avoid going out to bid several years in a row to comply with
potentially more stringent guidelines in the future, and substantial fines for non-compliance.
AIaa�o Eo
The retrofit of the heavy-duty diesel fleet would bring the City into compliance with the CARB
Fleet Rule for Public Agencies and Utilities by December 31, 2007.
The Purchasing Division received the following bids on June 13, 2007:
Company Bid Location
Custom Turbo Rebuilding $122,013.70 Santa Fe Springs, California
Ironman Parts and Services $180,040.38 Corona, California
Cummins Cal Pacific $203,570.17 Irvine, California
Staff recommends that the project be awarded to the lowest qualified bidder, Custom Turbo
Rebuilding. Custom Turbo Rebuilding possesses a State Contractor's License and is in good
standing with the State Contractor's License Board. The bid was reviewed for accuracy and
conformance to the contract documents and found to be complete. References have indicated
that this contractor has performed work to their satisfaction.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds for this project in the amount of $100,000.00 were approved in the Fiscal Year 2007-2008
budget, and are available in Account No. 14503-5161.001. The additional allocation of
$34,215.00 to be funded out of AB 2766 funds is needed in order to complete the project.
