AGENDA TITLE: Approve Specifications and Authorize Advertising for Bids for a Twelve -Yard Dump Truck for
Street Division
MEETING DATE: April 4, 2001
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the specifications for the above project, authorize
advertising for bids, and approve the funding source.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Funds to purchase a twelve -yard dump truck for the Street Division of the
Public Works Department had been approved and budgeted in the 1999/00
Equipment Replacement Fund. This vehicle will replace existing Unit 04-084,
a six-yard dump truck. Unit 04-084 is a fully depreciated, 1985 Ford, Model
C7000, with an odometer reading of 93,276 miles. It was purchased for $44,603 in 1985 and has accumulated
$37,130 in repair costs. Existing Unit 04-084 has a very sick engine and its dependability is questionable. The Street
Division uses this unit on a daily basis for maintenance. We plan to dispose of this truck once we have purchased the
new vehicle. The upgrade request is to provide the Street Division with greater hauling capabilities at a reduced labor
cost. This size truck is available in alternative fuel CNG engines and staff has written specifications around a CNG
product line.
Specifications are on file in the Public Works Department.
FUNDING: The money for this project will be coming from the Equipment Replacement Fund, CMAQ, and Air
District Heavy Duty Funds. A request for appropriation of funds will be made at bid award.
Project Estimate: $85,000
Budgeted: 1999/00 fiscal year
