GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No 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 (Water Resources) manages and maintains the operations of Santa Ana's water and sanitary sewer systems. Water Resources currently utilizes a 2014 F-550 for daily operations by the Sewer System Maintenance team. The existing vehicle, the 2014 F-550, was evaluated in accordance with the City's Equipment Replacement Policy (Exhibit 1), which defines the review process when an equipment is no longer economically operated and maintained. Based on the equipment lifecycle guidelines, the existing vehicle has reached its useful lifecycle of 10 years. Water Resources is requesting to replace the vehicle with a new 2025 Ford F-600 which includes additional on -board equipment, including a larger -capacity air compressor for powering pneumatic tools used at jobsites such as jackhammers, tampers, and grinders, as well as an on -board electrical generator to power worksite lighting and charge batteries for power tools. These upgrades will reduce the need for a secondary vehicle and/or crew at a jobsite and is a more efficient method of maintaining the high - quality sewer services provided to Santa Ana residents and businesses. Purchase of a Ford April 1, 2025 Page 2 F-600 Regular Cab Utility Service Body Truck 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 vehicle specifications (Exhibit 2). By leveraging the procurement power through cooperative purchasing, the City of Santa Ana is able to obtain nationally vetted, high quality products at competitive volume pricing, and is in accordance with the City's existing Purchasing guidelines. Staff recommends approving a purchase order to PB Loader Corporation for one new/unused 2025 Ford F-600 Regular Cab Utility Service Body Truck (Exhibit 3).

Sample Picture of Ford F-600 Regular Cab Utility Body Truck Submitted By: Nabil Saba, P.E., Executive Director — Public Works Agency Approved By: Alvaro Nunez, City Manager EXHIBIT 1 E=t, City of Santa Ana Administrative ^+ i Policies and Procedures Subject EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT POLICY PURPOSE �,..... City Manager's Authorization Date July 17, 2013 The purpose of this document is to articulate the decision -making process for replacing City equipment that can no longer be economically operated and maintained. Specifically, this document defines the various stages of the review process and describes the interaction between Fleet Management Division and City departments in the implementation of an Equipment Replacement Program. DISCUSSION Given the fiscal magnitude and operational importance of City equipment, the decision to timely replace such assets will be duly reviewed in three (3) stages as follows: Fleet Management Division will prepare an annual preliminary equipment replacement list that contains assets that have reached thresholds suggested in Attachment A: "Equipment Lifecycle Guidelines." Since this list is preliminary, the assets listed are not automatically replaced but are subjected to further review. 2. Fleet Management Division will then evaluate each listed asset for condition, cost, usage, safety history, and operating performance. The evaluation will be based on fleet data from mechanical appraisals, utilization, and Life -Cycle Costing (LCC) as these factors are considered fleet industry key components for assessing safety and the cost of repair and maintenance. (!Vote: LCC is a replacement analysis model which considers the total cost of owning and operating an asset by integrating economic factors such as depreciation and resale value with standard factors such as age and mileage.) LCC analysis can be used to identify and retain assets that are cost-effective to operate beyond the thresholds suggested in Attachment A. LCC values can be calculated using Attachment B: "Life -Cycle Costing Worksheet," 3. In this review stage, Fleet Management Division will collaborate with City departments to further refine the replacement list by considering factors other than lifecycle. Some assets that have not reached their lifecycle threshold may be replaced earlier than scheduled due to safety concerns, unusual wear and tear, or recurring mechanical problems. Conversely, some assets that have exceeded their lifecycle threshold may be retained if they are classified as mission -critical and no replacement unit will be available. These qualitative and other such factors can be captured and evaluated using a points system, an approach several jurisdictions have adopted, as exemplified in Attachment C: "Equipment Replacement Points System." City staff is encouraged to develop appropriate point values, priority rankings, and equipment cost data in a collaborative effort to produce a rational equipment replacement list. The expected output of this entire review process is the "Annual Equipment Replacement Schedule" that will be incorporated in the annual City budget. GUIDELINES 1. Vehicles and other equipment are assumed to be in good condition during their recommended lifecycle as indicated in Attachment A: "Equipment Lifecycle Guidelines." 2. The recommended lifecycle of standard service vehicles is 8 years or 75,000 mile. 3. For large and heavy equipment, the recommended lifecycle is 10 years or 60,000 miles. 4. Incorporate utilization requirements in replacement decisions to ensure that underutilized assets are not replaced. 5. Emergency units may receive priority replacement over non -Emergency units to minimize the incidence of out -of -service emergency units. 6. Emergency units that have been replaced or removed from service may be transferred to non - emergency operations, where appropriate. 7. Assets will be replaced or retrofitted to comply with federal, state, local, special district, or other clean air laws and regulations, where feasible. 8. Assets that continuously incur excessive costs for repair or maintenance during its recommended lifecycle may be replaced ahead of schedule. 9. Assets due for replacement based on the recommended lifecycle maybe retained if the expected cost of maintenance is minimal (below original equipment rental rate) and mileage is low (under 50,000 miles). 10. All requests for new or replacement units shall be coursed through Fleet Management Division to ensure standardization of City vehicles and other equipment. The guidelines and recommendations contained in this document shall be timely updated as technology advances and best practice evolves. Starting with this original version, the date of issuance for each update shall be recorded and maintained on this document.

A 5 would be Reliability assigned to a vehicle that is in the shop two or more times per month on average, while a 1 is assigned to a vehicle in the shop an average of once every three months or less. Assign 1 to 5 points based on total life M&R costs (excluding repair of accident damage). A 5 is Maintenance &Repair (M&R) Costs assigned to a vehicle with life M&R costs equal to or greater than the vehicle's original purchase price, while a 1 is given to a vehicle with life M&R costs equal to 20% or less of its original purchase cost. INTERPRETING POINT SCORES Below 15 points means Unit is in Excellent Condition. 16 to 20 points means Unit is in Good Condition. 21 to 25 points means Unit qualifies for replacement. 26 points and above means Unit needs immediate consideration. Backlog is gauged by the number of units with scores of 26 or above retained by the City. Equipment Replacement Policy Page 5 of 5 EXHIBIT 2 CUSTOMER: CRY OF SANTA ANA.
