Award a contract to Ingersoll Rand Equipment Sales for the purchase of one
trailer mounted air compressor in the amount of $15,941.61; and increase
the aggregate limit for miscellaneous parts in an amount not to exceed
$20,000 annually.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency's Water Resources Division maintains approximately
400 miles of sewer mains and performs repairs to sewer laterals located
within the street right of way. Trailer mounted air compressors operate air
jackhammers and dirt compactors in the field. The sewer maintenance crews
currently have 2 compressors. The work duties encountered frequently
require an additional air compressor. The proposed compressor will be used
primarily by the sewer maintenance crews and can also be used as a backup
for water maintenance activities.
