for the purchase and delivery of t hree Compressed Natural Gas Truck Mounted
R egenerative Air Street Sweepers. This recommended award is made as an exception

Executive Summary
The City is responsible for street sweeping services in order to maintain the safety,
environment and a esthetics of the streets through the removal of debris. This purchase
would replace three vehicles that have reached the end of their cost effective useful life
through the Vehicle Replacement Program. This recommended award is made as an
exception to the competitive bidding process pursuant to SMMC Section 2.24.080 (b).
Staff recommends that City Council authorize the Purchasing Services Manager to
piggyback on Bid No. 4234 and issue a purchase order with Mar -Co Equipment
Company for three CNG Truck Mounte d Regenerative Air Street Sweepers in an
amount not to exceed $956,389. This purchase meets the goals of the City’s Reduced -
Emissions Fuels Policy by utilizing a vehicle powered by CNG fuel.
Background
The City replaces vehicles that have reached the end of their cost -effective useful life
through the Vehicle Replacement Program. The existing vehicles have a cost -effective
useful life span of five years based on industry standards as well as utilization and the
environment in which they are operated. Swe eping vehicles are in operation six days
and six nights per week (Sunday through Friday). Sweepers are in operation anywhere
from six to twelve hours per day Sunday through Friday which includes both day and
night shift s . In addition, these units are oper ated near the beach, resulting in premature
wear due to salt air and sand exposure . Once the total maintenance cost reach es 50%
2 of 4
of the original cost, the unit is brought in for an assessment and staff determines if the
vehicle needs to be replaced. The cur rent equipment was purchased in 2011 and is six
years old.

Discussion
The truck mounted regenerative air street sweepers would be used to support street
sweeping operations in the Resource Recovery and Recycling Division. Resource
Recovery and Recycling currently emplo ys seven street sweepers, three of which would
be replaced by the new vehicles. Street sweeping is necessary to maintain the safety ,
environment and aesthetics of the streets through the removal of debris. Street
sweeping protects the environment by assist ing in the removal of metals, pesticides,
herbicides, oil, and other pollutants and debris that may impact the storm water system.
Street sweeping clears debris from the street and gutter which may impede motorists,
bicyclists, or pedestrians. The City cu rrently sweeps over 26,000 curb miles and collects
over 2,000 tons of sweeping debris annually.

Vendor selection
In January 2016, the City solicited bids for the purchase of two Compressed Natural
Gas (CNG) Truck Mounted Regenerative Air Street Sweepers. The bid was posted on
the City’s on -line bidding site, and notices were advertised in the Santa Monica Daily
Press in accordance with City Charter and Municipal Code provisions. A total of 578
vendors were notified and 16 vendors downloaded the bid. A total of 3 bids were
received and publicly opened on January 21, 2016 per Attachment A.
Bids were evaluated based on th e criteria in SMMC 2.24.072, including price, previous
experience, ability to deliver, quality of product, and compliance with City specifications.
Mar -Co Equipment Company is the second lowest bidder and submitted a competitive
bid for a model which the C ity currently employs. The City utilizes multiple sweepers of
this model for which Fleet Maintenance staff have been trained to maintain. Mar -co
Equipment Company’s proposal was able to best meet the City’s requirements,
including the ability to provide th e method of dumping required in the specification and
the option to include a broom assisted pick -up head.
On March 22, 2016 , per Attachment B, City Council awarded Bid No. 4234 to Mar -Co
Equipment Company for the purchase and delivery of two CNG Truck M ounted
Regenerative Air Street Sweepers. After the bid was awarded, three additional CNG
truck mounted regenerative air street sweepers reached the end of their cost -effective
useful life. Staff contacted Mar -Co Equipment Company and they agreed to provide
three additional vehicles at the same price, terms, and conditions as stated in Bid No.
4234 , per Attachment C.

piggyback on Bid No. 4234 and issue a purchase order with Mar -Co Equipment
Company for three CNG Truck Mounted Regenerative Air Street Sweepers in an
amount not to exceed $956,389. This qualifies as an exception to the competitive
