DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency’s (PWA) Parks, Fleet, and Facilities Division is responsible for the acquisition, maintenance, repair, and replacement of vehicles, trucks, and maintenance equipment. The Fleet Services Team maintains an equipment replacement schedule and works with departments to routinely replace vehicles that have surpassed their useful life cycle.
The PWA Water Resources Division manages and maintains the operations of Santa Ana’s water and sanitary sewer systems and requires a new service truck to replace an aging vehicle utilized daily by the Water System Maintenance section. In accordance with the City’s Equipment Replacement Policy, the existing vehicle, a 2014 F-550, is nearing the end of its useful life. Upsizing this vehicle to better meet the operational needs of the Water Systems Maintenance section is crucial for maintaining the high- quality water and sewer services provided to Santa Ana residents.
Santa Ana City Ordinance No. NS-3041 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 PB Loader Corporation (Contract No. 080521-PBL) 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 PB Loader Corporaton meets the City’s specifications. By leveraging
