As vehicles and <br />heavy equipment reach the end of their useful life, new equipment must be procured in a timely manner <br />to ensure replacement takes place at the most economically advantageous point in the life cycle. Heav- <br />duty combination trucks used in sewer cleaning operations are fabricated from customized specifications <br />and are designed and built differently than traditional passenger vehicles. As a result, it is not uncommon <br />for public agencies to initiate the procurement of this equipment long before it is required, to account for <br />the lengthy build process. The Public Works Services Department (PWS) has one combination sewer <br />cleaner scheduled for replacement in fiscal year (FY) 2026-27. The proposed purchase agreement is <br />intended to secure the best possible pricing for this equipment. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />By motion, approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a Purchase Agreement to purchase one <br />(1) Vac-Con Dual Engine Combination Jet/Vacuum Sewer Cleaner in the amount of $741,501 from <br />Municipal Maintenance Equipment, Inc. of Sacramento, CA. <br />STRATEGIC PLAN GUIDING PRINCIPLE <br />Excellence in Government Operations <br />7.D. - Page 1 of 15 <br />88
