RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award a contract to Haaker Equipment Company for refurbishing two Vactor sewer trucks in the
amount not to exceed $217,105.
DISCUSSION
The Fleet Division of Finance and Management Services Agency maintains 762 operated vehicles.
The City purchased in 2001 and 2002, the two Vactor sewer trucks. With constant contact with water
and debris, the sewer trucks have reached a point where pumps, hoses and water tanks need to be
replaced. Quotes received by staff defined new sewer trucks cost $328,000 each, complying with the
alternative fuel AQMD requirement. In evaluating the financial impact of refurbishing the sewer
trucks at one-third the cost of new sewer trucks, Fleet and Public Works endorse the task of
overhauling the mechanical parts since the mileage and life expectancy of the truck chassis has not
be maximized to date.
The notice inviting bids was advertised on October 13, 2010, and bids were solicited. A summary of
the bid invitations and bids received is as follows:
2 Invitations For Bid mailed
1 Bid received
Bids were solicited and opened on October 27, 2010 and evaluated. The bid received from Haaker
Equipment Company as the sole Southern California authorized Vactor dealer is responsive to the
specifications and meets the City's requirements. To allow for unanticipated charges, an additional
five percent contingency has been included in the award amount.
