DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency’s (PWA) Water Resources Division oversees and maintains
the daily operations of the City’s water and sanitary sewer systems and associated
facilities, while PWA Parks, Fleet, and Facilities Division is responsible for the
maintenance and repair of the City parks and trails. Overall, PWA relies on rental
services to provide the necessary equipment to assist with operations and special
projects. The Santa Ana Police Department will use rental services to assist the Police
Department’s Cannabis Enforcement team for various cases, as needed.
On November 15, 2022, the City Council awarded a contract to Herc Rentals and
amended contracts with Sunbelt Rentals and United Rentals for equipment rental
services through the use of competitively bid cooperative contracts awarded by
Sourcewell, a government organization. The need for rental equipment has increased
due to the City’s continued increase in its projects at city facilities including reservoir
inspections and improvements at Central Stores and Corporate Yard. Staff has
reviewed equipment rental services history and has begun purchasing equipment that is
critical to operations and as an effort to reduce rental equipment charges. Staff
recommends increasing the blanket purchase order contract for equipment rentals by
the amount of $290,000, for a revised annual amount not to exceed $568,000, for the
remainder of the contract term, including any remaining renewal periods.
