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, Maintenance Services Division, is responsible for the
maintenance of approximately 400 miles of streets and 50,000 street trees. Bucket trucks
are necessary for mobilization and used daily at multiple job sites for the removal of tree
trimming and landscaping, felled tree branches, limbs and for use in emergency storm
response situations involving downed trees. Additionally, these trucks are used daily for
tree service response to community requests.
The existing vehicles are 2002 and 2004 models. Both vehicles have reached the end of
their effective useful lifecycle and have become unreliable. The vehicles exceed the
recommended Equipment Lifecycle Guidelines of the City's Fleet Services Division,
earning a "terrible" rating, based on industry standards from the Municipal Equipment
Maintenance Association, the National Association of Fleet Administrators, and the
American Public Works Association. Furthermore, the equipment does not comply with
the 2021 State of California Air Resources Board Portable Equipment Registration
Program, and are therefore unusable.
Santa Ana Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to utilize purchase contracts from
any public agency utilizing a competitive bid process. Sourcewell (formerly National Joint
