DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency’s Parks, Fleet, and Facilities Division is responsible for the acquisition, maintenance, repair, and replacement of vehicles, trucks, and maintenance equipment. The Fleet Services section maintains an equipment replacement schedule and works with various departments to routinely replace vehicles and equipment that have surpassed their useful life cycle.
The Parks Maintenance team provides landscape maintenance services throughout City parks and facilities. The Park Maintenance team utilizes bucket trucks for ongoing operations and is essential for projects concerning high reaching electrical work, tree trimming, overhead structure maintenance, gazebo and roof repairs, and other hard-to- reach areas. The equipment requested is to replace Park Maintenance’s aging fleet that have surpassed their useful lifecycle.
Santa Ana City Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to purchase against contracts from any public agency utilizing a competitive bid process. Sourcewell, a cooperative government purchasing agency, awarded a contract to Terex Utilities (Contract No. 110421-TER) as a result of open, competitive bidding on behalf of its members, which includes government agencies.
Staff researched available procurement options and product offerings in the market, and determined that Terex Utilities meets the City’s specifications. By leveraging the
