AGENDA ITEM NO. D.1

DATE: March 25, 2025

TO: Public Works and Transportation Committee

FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected]

SUBJECT: Purchase of Material Handler for the Del Norte Regional Recycling and Transfer Station. (10 minutes)

RECOMMENDATION

That the Public Works and Transportation Committee recommend that the City Council approve and authorize the Mayor to execute a purchase order with Quinn Company in the amount of $548,756.31 for a material handler for the Del Norte Regional Recycling and Transfer Station.

Please click the following link to view the required Measure M pre-recorded presentation video: https://youtu.be/QhEYPoO06Ek

BACKGROUND

The Environmental Resources (ER) Division is responsible for the operation of the Del Norte Regional Recycling and Transfer Station (Del Norte) which is a regional, material recovery facility (MRF). The MRF receives and processes residential, commercial, and industrial solid waste, recyclables, and organic waste within the City of Oxnard collection boundaries as well as material from areas in the Ventura County region.

The Del Norte facility is permitted to accept municipal solid waste which includes refuse, recyclables, and organic waste material.

DISCUSSION

SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program under the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) provides funding up to the full grant amount of $519,396, with no local match required, for the purchase of the material handler. Daily MRF operations rely heavily on using essential heavy equipment to process solid waste materials. A wheel loader is currently used to move solid waste material for processing and transferring purposes.

The material handler will be an additional piece of equipment that will assist in the day-to-day operations by moving material for processing and transferring to the landfill. In addition, the material handler allows operators to remove materials from roll-off bins and trailers that may be overfilled by pulling materials out from the top rather than having to empty out the overfilled bins and trailers through walking-floor trailers and/or tipper trailers, which is a much more time-consuming process. The material handler can also move organic and recyclable material to the sorting line at a more consistent pace allowing more materials to be processed with less contamination.

8 Staff identified Sourcewell Cooperative Agreement No. 011723 with Quinn Company. Utilizing a cooperative purchasing method, such as a Sourcewell, allows the City to “piggyback” on the agreement and obtain the material handler at a discounted price. Sourcewell is a cooperative purchasing program that unites the buying power of government, education, and nonprofit organizations. By utilizing hundreds of competitively solicited and awarded contracts, Sourcewell simplifies the public procurement process and ensures the efficient use of taxpayer dollars. Thousands of public entities are enrolled as participating agencies in this program.

Furthermore, Quinn is a leading provider of this equipment and is recognized throughout southern California for its innovative design and integrated safety features.

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

This agenda item supports the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy. The purpose of the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy is to preserve and improve our roads, utilities, parks, trees, water supply and natural resources through effective planning, prioritization, and an equitable and efficient use of available funding.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

The total cost of this purchase order with Quinn Company shall not exceed $548,756.31. There are sufficient budget appropriations in the SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program (C2423) in the amount of $519,396.00 and in the ER Operating Council-approved budget from capital outlay for $29,360.31 for the purchase of the material handler.

If a Participating Entity issues a purchase order, it may use its own forms, but the purchase order should clearly note the applicable Sourcewell contract number. All Participating Entity orders under this Contract must be issued prior to expiration or cancellation of this Contract; however, Supplier performance, Participating Entity payment obligations, and any applicable warranty periods or other Supplier or Participating Entity obligations may extend beyond the term of this Contract.

Supplier’s acceptable forms of payment are included in its attached Proposal. Participating Entities will be solely responsible for payment and Sourcewell will have no liability for any unpaid invoice of any Participating Entity.

B. ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS/PARTICIPATING ADDENDUM. Additional terms and conditions to a purchase order, or other required transaction documentation, may be negotiated between a Participating Entity and Supplier’s Participating Dealer, such as job or industry-specific requirements, legal requirements (e.g., affirmative action or immigration status requirements), or specific local policy requirements. Some Participating Entities may require the use of a Participating Addendum, the terms of which will be negotiated directly between the Participating Entity and Supplier’s Participating Dealer or its authorized dealers, distributors, or resellers, as applicable. Any negotiated additional terms and conditions must never be less favorable to the Participating Entity than what is contained in this Contract.

C. SPECIALIZED SERVICE REQUIREMENTS. In the event that the Participating Entity requires service or specialized performance requirements not addressed in this Contract (such as e- commerce specifications, specialized delivery requirements, or other specifications and requirements), the Participating Entity and the Supplier may enter into a separate, standalone agreement, apart from this Contract. Sourcewell, including its agents and employees, will not be made a party to a claim for breach of such agreement.

The Administrative Fee must be included in, and not added to, the pricing. Supplier may not charge Participating Entities more than the contracted price to offset the Administrative Fee.

The Supplier will submit payment to Sourcewell for the percentage of administrative fee stated in the Proposal multiplied by the total sales of all Equipment, Products, and Services purchased by Participating Entities under this Contract during each calendar quarter. Payments should note the Supplier’s name and Sourcewell-assigned contract number in the memo; and must be mailed to the address above “Attn: Accounts Receivable” or remitted electronically to Sourcewell’s banking institution per Sourcewell’s Finance department instructions. Payments must be received no later than 45 calendar days after the end of each calendar quarter.

Supplier agrees to cooperate with Sourcewell in auditing transactions under this Contract to ensure that the administrative fee is paid on all items purchased under this Contract.

In the event the Supplier is delinquent in any undisputed administrative fees, Sourcewell reserves the right to cancel this Contract and reject any proposal submitted by the Supplier in any subsequent solicitation. In the event this Contract is cancelled by either party prior to the Contract’s expiration date, the administrative fee payment will be due no more than 30 days from the cancellation date.

including your company’s core values,
business philosophy, and industry longevity
related to the requested equipment, products
or services.

The history of Caterpillar is all about doing: creating, building, problem solving, innovating, testing, servicing and improving. We’re proud of the ingenious machines that are part of our rich heritage. More importantly, we are proud of the people who founded and built the company one breakthrough at a time. Beginning with Benjamin Holt and C. L. Best, the people of Caterpillar have always been - and continue to be - extraordinary.

In 1925, when Holt and Best merged to form their new tractor company, they used the name so familiar to people around the world: Caterpillar. The Caterpillar Tractor Company is today known as Caterpillar Inc.

With 2021 sales and revenues of $51.0 billion, Caterpillar Inc. is the world’s leading manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, off-highway diesel and natural gas engines, industrial gas turbines and diesel-electric locomotives. For nearly 100 years, we’ve been helping customers build a better, more sustainable world and are committed and contributing to a reduced-carbon future. Our innovative products and services, backed by our global dealer network, provide exceptional value that helps customers succeed. Caterpillar does business on every continent, principally operating through three primary segments – Construction Industries, Resource Industries and Energy & Transportation – and providing financing and related services through our Financial Products segment.

Our Worldwide Code of Conduct, first published in 1974, defines what we stand for and believe in, documenting the uncompromisingly high ethical standards our company has upheld since its founding in 1925. The Code helps Caterpillar employees put our values and principles into action every day by providing detailed guidance on the behaviors and actions that support our values of Integrity, Excellence, Teamwork, Commitment and Sustainability.

11 What are your company’s expectations in the
event of an award?
Caterpillar is honored to have served Sourcewell and its members who have purchased Cat® construction equipment, attachments (work tools), and electrical power generation products through Sourcewell since 2008. Furthermore, we are proud to have
earned the Sourcewell Legacy Award in 2019, and have recently been awarded contracts 060122-CAT and 092222-CAT.

Caterpillar's expectations in the event of an award would be to focus on customer needs and continued growth across all governmental segments. Sourcewell has built a strong reputation within the industry that has shown the importance of how this cooperative contract delivers upon customer needs. This contract will be a top factor in our go to market strategy within our strong Cat dealer network. If awarded, we will send out an email to our entire sales force, applicable to governmental, introducing the contract along with ways to train our salesforce, market, and grow the contract.

We look forward to the opportunity to further grow business and serve member needs together in this new Heavy Construction Equipment RFP opportunity. *

it a manufacturer, a distributor/dealer/reseller,
or a service provider? Answer whichever
question (either a) or b) just below) best
applies to your organization.
a) If your company is best described as
a distributor/dealer/reseller (or similar entity),
provide your written authorization to act as a
distributor/dealer/reseller for the manufacturer
of the products proposed in this RFP. If
applicable, is your dealer network
independent or company owned?
b) If your company is best described as
a manufacturer or service provider, describe
your relationship with your sales and service
force and with your dealer network in
delivering the products and services
proposed in this RFP. Are these individuals
your employees, or the employees of a third
party?
Caterpillar is a world class manufacturer which distributes products through a vast and capable independent dealer network. Our dealers are strong independently owned companies and in North America alone our 47 dealers have a combined net worth of billions of dollars. Their large valuation is a competitive advantage because it allows them to have the infrastructure to support customers regardless of location, industry, fleet size, or application.

Another advantage of independently owned dealers is that they know their customers and market well. They tailor their services specifically to their customers' needs.

Although we will sign this contract as a manufacturer, our Cat dealers will be given the
opportunity to avail themselves of the opportunity presented by the contract and will execute all the transactions with governmental customers as they do today. This includes but is not limited to consultation, quoting, accepting payment, delivery, warranty support, parts sales, and service.

Caterpillar dealers heartily embrace the other Sourcewell contracts currently available to them (032119-CAT, 092222-CAT, 062320-CAT, 060122-CAT). They have all been trained on contract usage. In fact, the current Heavy Equipment contract is leveraged by
95% of our dealers in North America. Caterpillar offers specific discounts to Sourcewell members. By using any Sourcewell Contract, our dealers agree to honor those discounts.

17 If applicable, provide a detailed explanation
outlining the licenses and certifications that
are both required to be held, and actually
held, by your organization (including third
parties and subcontractors that you use) in
pursuit of the business contemplated by this
