BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This vehicle will replace Unit No, 04-148, a 2000 Dodge compressed natural gas fueled (CNG) van, which is 14 years old and has over 101 ,000 miles. The existing van was purchased in September 2000 at a cost of $21,700 and was put into service July 2001. lnitially, the van was planned to be replaced after 10 years or 85,000 miles. The CNG tank will expire and must be removed from service in January 2015. lt will cost $5,000 to replace the tank which is not cost effective. Over the life of this vehicle, $39,543 has been expended on repairs and preventative maintenance. The utility of the van has diminished as the equipment and materials used to abate graffiti has increased. Equipment includes power washer, paint sprayers, hose reels, air compressor, electric generator, paint and water storage tank. At present, a separate trailer is used to haulthe water used in operations. Access to equipment and supplies is cumbersome due to the limited space within the van. Available space in the van is 216 cubic feet with only four feet of vertical clearance. Only a single hose reel for painting can be accommodated. Pictures of the existing van and equipment are provided in Attachment A. It is recommended a new larger van be purchased with 540 cubic feet of storage with more than six feet of vertical clearance. A walk{hrough enables the operator to move quickly and easily from the cab to the cargo area to prepare for work without being outside in the elements. The additional area will allow for multiple paint reels and paint colors to be applied without cleaning the painting equipment. A substantial increase in productivity will be enabled by the larger van. Stored supplies will be kept secure in storage shelves. Water storage for power washing will be provided within the cargo area. Details of the lsuzu commercial van are provided in Attachment B. The City received the following three quotes.
