CITY OF

HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
City of Long Beach
California
RECOMMENDATION:
Department of Financial Management
411 West Ocean Boulevard, 6th Floor
Long Beach, CA 90802
(562) 570-6425
C-13
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to execute a contract, and any necessary documents including any necessary subsequent amendments, with Elastec, Inc., of Carmi, IL, for the purchase of an OMNI Catamaran boat, with floating trash collection pods, lighting, and other accessories, for a total amount not to exceed $186,531, including taxes and fees. (Citywide)
DISCUSSION
City Council approval is requested to enter into a contract with Elastec, Inc. (Elastec), to purchase an OMNI Catamaran boat for the Parks, Recreation and Marine Department (PRM).
The vessel will be used for debris collection and removal in Alamitos Bay and Marina. The Elastec Omni Cat multi-purpose workboat unique design allows for a variety of pod systems to be positioned between the hulls of the versatile catamaran to perform a variety of waterway maintenance and marine tasks. The interchangeable pods allow for floating trash collection, quay wall and river walk wash down. When the deck plates are in place, the Omni Cat becomes a useful platform for conducting maintenance tasks. The Omni Cat is also small enough to maneuver into small spaces, such as boat slips, to collect debris.
PRM has similar OMNI Catamaran vessels in use for other operations and has found the design and function superior to any other commercially available option. Maintaining similar make and model of marine vessel allows for more efficient training, repair and service of the fleet. Elastec is the sole manufacturer of this type of unit in the United States. Purchase of this unit was approved in the FY 22 Adopted Budget.
City Charter Section 1801 requires that contracts for City of Long Beach purchases be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder after a competitive bid process, but allows for awards without a competitive bid process when authorized by a Resolution adopted by the City Council.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Anita Lakhani on July 15, 2022, Business Services Bureau Manager Tara Mortensen on June 24, 2022, and by Revenue Management Officer Geraldine Alejo on July 11, 2022.

SUSTAINABILITY
The OMNI Catamaran uses unleaded gasoline and has a California Air Resources Board certified, three-star, ultra-low emissions-rated outboard motor that is 90 percent cleaner than the Environmental Protection Agency's 1998 standard.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action is requested on August 2, 2022, to ensure a contract is in place expeditiously.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total amount of the contract will not exceed $186,531, inclusive of taxes and fees. This unit is budgeted in the Tidelands Area Fund Group in the Parks, Recreation and Marine Department. Starting in FY 23, ongoing maintenance and replacement costs for this unit are estimated at $37,309 per year. Replacement costs and maintenance costs, for preventive service or as needed repairs, will be billed monthly through the regular Fleet Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). This recommendation has no staffing impact beyond the normal budgeted scope of duties and is consistent with existing City Council priorities. There is no local job impact associated with this recommendation.
SUGGESTED ACTION:
Approve recommendation.
