DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency Fleet Services Division is responsible for the acquisition, maintenance,
repair, and replacement of vehicles, trucks, and maintenance equipment. The Public Works
Agency Water Resources Division oversees and maintains the daily operations of the water system
and sanitary sewer system. The City's sanitary sewer system has approximately 8,000
maintenance holes, 390 miles of sewer mains, and two lift stations. The sewer system collects all
sewage and transports it to the Orange County Sanitation District for treatment.
The Water Resources Division is in need of one bobtail dump truck to replace an aging vehicle
utilized daily in the maintenance and repair of the sanitary sewer system. The existing vehicle is a
Model Year 2000 that has exceeded the Fleet Services Division's recommended Equipment
Lifecycle Guidelines. Replacing this vehicle with a more reliable and efficient vehicle is essential to
ensure the continued delivery of high -quality sanitary sewer services to the customers in the City
of Santa Ana. Additionally, this truck will be fueled with compressed natural gas, which is in
alignment with the City's efforts to create an environmentally responsible fleet.
Santa Ana Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to utilize purchase contracts from any public
agency employing a competitive bid process. Sourcewell (formerly National Joint Powers Alliance),
awarded a contract to PB Loader Corporation (Contract No. 052417-PBL) for procurement of
