AGENDA TITLE: Purchase of Roadline Stencil Paint Truck for the Street Division ($78,660)
MEETING DATE: April 19, 2000
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt the attached resolution to purchase a Roadline stencil
paint truck for the Street Division of the Public Works Department from Roadline
Products, Inc., Downey, California, in the amount of $78,657.50 (see attached
August 23,1999 letter from Roadline Products); and appropriate funds to cover this
purchase in accordance with the recommendation shown below.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This vehicle replacement request is for a complete, ready -to -use stencil paint
truck; $75,000.00 was included in the 1999/2000 Capital Improvement
Budget. The City's existing one -ton Dodge Ram 350 stencil paint truck,
Unit 04-061, has an odometer reading of 77,426 miles. The minimum
replacement criteria are ten years or 85,000 miles.
This unit is used on a daily basis by Street Division crews for maintenance. The cab and chassis was purchased for
$20,018.00 in 1991 and an old paint body was mounted by our Shop personnel. The chassis is undersized for the
equipment mounted on it. Additionally, the nature of service this unit provides requires constant engine running.
Therefore, the odometer does not reflect an accurate record of engine use. If the estimated hours were converted to
miles, the odometer would be at 245,520 miles.
Our recommendation is to purchase the stencil paint truck through another contract rather than seeking our own bids.
The City of Berkeley prepared stencil paint truck specifications which meet all of the City of Lodi requirements, and
received very competitive bids from various stencil paint truck manufacturers. The City of Lodi can purchase under
the City of Berkeley's contract. It is to Lodi's benefit to purchase under Berkeley's contract in order to save staff time,
secure a good price, and acquire the stencil truck much sooner.
The Fleet Committee has reviewed this request and agrees with this recommendation.
FUNDING: The money for this project will be coming from Measure K Street funds in the Capital Improvement
Budget.
Purchase Price: $78,657.50
