DISCUSSION
Background
The Corporation Yard dump truck is an essential piece of support equipment for the Corporation
Yard staff and various City programs, such as Streets Maintenance, Trees Maintenance, Park
Maintenance, Stormwater and Utilities programs, including emergency response. The current dump
truck, a 1991 GMC Topkick (Asset 9107), was purchased 22 years ago in September 1990. In
accordance with the Fleet Management Policy, dump trucks have an estimated service life of 17
years. Replacement of this dump truck has been deferred in previous Financial Plans due to
economic issues and continued reliability of the vehicle. This vehicle is now 22 years old and has
exceeded its maximum vehicle life expectancy. More importantly, as explained below the vehicle is
no longer in compliance with California Air Resources Board (CARB) requirements and requires
replacement without possibility of deferral.
C7-1
Dump Truck Replacement- Corporation Yard Pool Vehicle
Page 2
The California Air Resources Board (CARB), as part of Senate Bill (SB 656), required the
installation of Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) to on-road and off-road vehicles and equipment to
reduce diesel exhaust particulate matter. The Particulate Matter Control Measure affected eight City
vehicles assigned to both Public Works and Utilities Departments. To ensure compliance with SB
656, some of the designated vehicles received the required engine particulate filter retrofits and
some were placed into a fleet pooled program and registered with CARB as “low-usage” vehicles.
The GMC Topkick dump truck was designated as a pooled “low-usage” vehicle, thereby deferring
vehicle replacement or DPF retrofit.
To be relieved of emission retrofitting requirements, pooled “low-usage” vehicles must maintain
mileage under 1,000 in a calendar year. At the time of the “low-usage” recommendation, the
previous Fleet Maintenance Supervisor and the CARB consultant reviewed vehicle records and
recommended the dump truck for this designation.
In August, an annual vehicle records check revealed the 1991 GMC Topkick Dump Truck received
far greater usage than anticipated; exceeding the “low-usage” designation. In accordance with
emission control regulations (SB 656), CARB states such vehicles not meeting the “low-usage”
designation shall be retired from the fleet, replaced or retrofitted with an approved particulate matter
trap within 90 days. Failure to comply with emission control regulations could result in fines to the
City at a minimum of $1,000 per day until compliance is received. Thus, this issue has a critical
time limit due to potential fines if the truck is not brought into compliance with CARB regulations.
Staff has inquired with CARB to determine if the DPF retrofitting option is available for this
vehicle. At present, there are no approved particulate matter filters available for this vehicle engine
type. CARB has indicated that particulate matter filters will not be developed for the type of
engines used in this dump truck. Changing the engine or chassis type is cost prohibitive and
unlikely to change the non-compliance finding for the vehicle due to current mileage usage. In light
of the information presented by CARB, retrofitting this vehicle with an approved particulate matter
trap is not an available option at this time.
The dump truck is a critical piece of equipment. It is primarily used by the Streets Maintenance
Division for the hauling of asphalt and debris needed in preparation of daily street paving,
maintenance and repair duties. Without this crucial piece of equipment, Streets Maintenance crews
are unable to prepare construction areas and provide routine street repairs. This vehicle is also used
as a backup for other City programs, such as Trees Maintenance, Stormwater and Utilities
Divisions.
Believing that the “low usage” mileage designation would allow continued use of this vehicle the
1991 GMS Topkick dump truck replacement was deferred and was not anticipated until the 2017-18
fiscal year. When the CARB determination was known, staff had to immediately place the truck on
significantly limited duty and get a temporary vehicle for use. Finding a vehicle took approximately
three weeks and has been costing the City approximately $1,500/month for rent. This equates to a
minimum of $18,000/year cost if the City was to continue renting this vehicle as opposed to
replacing the old dump truck. The current monthly rental equates to the total replacement value of
approximately $90,000 expended in just over five years.

Staff has concluded that the replacement of this vehicle is essential to City services and should be
replaced immediately. Staff is seeking approval to accelerate the replacement of the 1991 GMC
Topkick Dump Truck (Asset 9107) to the 2012-13 FY.
Cooperative Purchasing
The City’s Financial Management Manual, Section 405-I page 14, recommends fleet purchases
using either a State cooperative purchasing contract or “piggyback” agreements with local agencies.
All Fleet purchases such as Police patrol vehicles, general purpose fire trucks, sedans,
station wagons, passenger vans, light to heavy trucks, utility vehicles, and construction
equipment should generally be acquired new through State of California Multiple Award
Schedule (CMAS) contracts. Specialized units not generally available through CMAS should
generally be acquired new through “piggyback” purchases, where other local agencies
have conducted competitive procurements and made those contracts available to the City.
Often CMAS contracts or “piggyback” agreements can provide substantial cash discounts for the
City when making these procurements as well as expedite the purchasing process. Vehicle
acquisition through e an established purchasing agreement saves money when compared with the
costs of an independent purchase. These savings can then be utilized for the purchase of additional
replacement equipment.
City staff recommends approval to utilize the multi-year cooperative purchasing agreement with the
National Joint Powers Alliance Contract No. 102811-NAF, effective January 28, 2012 (Attachment
1), for “Passenger Car, Light Duty, Medium Duty and Heavy Duty Trucks with Related
Accessories” , to purchase one (1) 2012 Ford F750 Dump truck chassis and dump bed through the
National Auto Fleet Group.
National Auto Fleet group has provided a competitively bid quote through NJPA Cooperative
Purchasing Agreement through its approved vendors: Wondries Fleet Group of Alhambra,
California and Marathon Industries, Inc. of Santa Clarita, California. Wondries Fleet Group
provided a quote on both the vehicle chassis and dump bed to City specifications. By purchasing
through a cooperative agreement, staff estimates that the City is able to save approximately $15,000
on the purchases. (Attachment 2)
Staff inspected and reviewed the truck for compliance and agrees that the quotation provided by
Wondries Fleet Group meets or exceeds the specifications of the City. Marathon Industries, Inc.
provided specifications on the vehicle dump bed and fabrication to City specifications (Attachment
3) Staff inspected and reviewed the truck and dump bed for compliance and agrees that the
quotation provided by Wondries Fleet Group and Marathon Industries, Inc. meets or exceeds the
specifications of the City.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for this vehicle replacement was not anticipated in the 2011-13 Financial Plan; however, as
a result of recent CARB determinations, this vehicle will need to be replaced in advance of its
anticipated replacement schedule and supersedes other lower priority replacement projects.
Staff recommends Council approve a new capital project, Specification No. 91183, for the Dump
Truck Replacement and the transfer of $88,900 from the Equipment Replacement Fund to support
this purchase. Currently, there are sufficient funds available in the Equipment Replacement Fund
identified for fleet replacements ($752,448).
Staff further recommends authorization of the Finance Director to make this purchase and
subsequent equipment appurtenances through Wondries Fleet Group, as the approved Cooperative
Agreement vendor for this vehicle chassis, in the amount of $68,947.79 (Attachment 4) and
Marathon Industries, Inc. for $18,123.19 as the approved vendor for the vehicle dump bed.

ALTERNATIVES
1. Deny Purchase. The City Council could defer the replacement of the Corporation Yard
Dump. Staff does not recommend this option as this piece of equipment is critical to the
support functions of the Corporation Yard and deferring could subject the City to fines from
CARB or, long-term deferral of this equipment could incur significant rental fees of $18,700
annually. At this cost, rental fees for this unit would exceed the purchase price in less than
five years (12 years less than its projected service life).
2. Retrofitting or Alternative Fuel Vehicle Purchase. Staff has investigated retrofitting for
alternative fuels such as Compressed Natural Gas or Propane for the fuel type of the vehicle.
C7-4
Dump Truck Replacement- Corporation Yard Pool Vehicle
Page 5
Alternative fuel options are primarily offered in larger duty vehicles such as buses, refuse
vehicles and street sweepers. Due to the size of the dump truck it would require extensive
retrofitting to an alternative fuel system that would likely not be cost effective. Due to
budget constraints, staff does not recommend this option. The newer dump truck vehicle
purchased will be immediately compliant with CARB regulations as it will be a tier 4 diesel
powered engine; resulting in lower emissions.
