APPROVE THE USE OF A "PIGGYBACK" CONTRACT FOR
THE PURCHASE OF A F550 DUMP TRUCK
City Manager's Office
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council:
1. Approve the purchase of a 2013 Ford F550 Dump Truck using State of California Contract
1-13-23-20A in an amount not to exceed $53,526.05.
2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to modify all documents to contract with the next
lowest and/or qualified bidder/proposer in the event the awardee is unable to fulfill its
obligations or perform, subject to City Attorney final document approval, contingent upon the
appropriation of funds by the City Council in the annual budget for such fiscal year.
BACKGROUND
The City Council authorized the purchase of a dump truck during the Fiscal Year 2012-2013
budget process. The dump truck will be used by the Streets Division for transportation of asphalt
to ramp raised sidewalks. The benefits of the dump truck will be substantial in assisting staff to
execute maintenance and repairs of sidewalks and streets throughout the City.
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, pre-existing public agency
contract. The Department of General Services (DGS) competitively solicited and awarded State
of California contract 1-13-23-20A for trucks, on January 28, 2013. The State of California
contract allows for other agencies to place orders against it. Staff believes this contract to
provide the most competitive pricing and highest quality of equipment to the City, thereby
offering the best value.

ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Adequate funds were appropriated in the Fiscal Year 2012-2013 budget for this purchase.
