At <br />pre -designated intervals, vehicles and equipment undergo a thorough evaluation including but not limited <br />to, age, mileage, condition, maintenance history, downtime, anticipated future repairs, usage, and vehicle <br />capabilities. This program is also designed to assist user departments in evaluating their operational <br />deployment strategies of fleet assets in an effort to maximize operational efficiency. <br />The Right of Way Division of the Public Works Services Department maintains all city -owned trees located <br />in the public right of way. In order to effectively carry out this function, staff utilize equipment capable of <br />providing access to trees that require pruning or removal. The Right of Way Division is currently using a <br />2005 Ford F550 with a Power Take -off (PTO) driven boom for aerial maneuvers and it has reached the end <br />of its useful life. <br />Page 1 of 3 <br />City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcity.ore <br />264 <br />
