BACKGROUND
City Council authorized the replacement of an aerial lift truck during the Fiscal Year 2011-2012
budget process. The aerial lift truck is used by the Public Works Streets Maintenance division to
maintain and repair street signs, as well as complete other tasks that require staff to work at
heights. The current aerial lift truck used to maintain City streets is 20 -years -old. The aerial lift
truck meets the City criteria for, replacement for both age (10 years/100,000 miles) and condition.
The cost to maintain the aerial lift has steadily increased, and due to its age, replacement parts are
getting more difficult to procure.
On July 11, 1995, the City Council approved the use of "piggyback" purchasing. This process
permits the City to place orders against a competitively awarded, preexisting public agency
contract. The National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA) contract 060311 for public utility
equipment was competitively solicited and awarded on July 19, 2011. The NJPA contract allows
other public agencies to place orders against it. Staff believes the NJPA contract to provide the
most competitive pricing and highest quality equipment to the City, thereby offering the best
value.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other actions as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds for this project were appropriated during the Fiscal Year 2011-2012 budget process in
Account 14504-5201.003.
