City Council Report
City Council Meeting: June 22, 2021
Agenda Item: 3.F
1 of 4
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Rick Valte, Acting Public Works Director, Public Works, Fleet Services
Subject: Purchase Order Authorizations to Replace Beach Maintenance Vehicles
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Authorize the Procurement Manager to issue a purchase order with RDO
Equipment Company for the purchase of two John Deere Beach Tractors for the
Public Works Department. This recommended award is made as an exception to
the competitive bidding process pursuant to Section 2.24.250(c) and is for a total
amount not to exceed $305,000; and
2. Authorize the Procurement Manager to issue a purchase order with Velocity
Truck Center for the purchase of one Crane Carrier Refuse Truck for the Public
Works Department. This recommended award is made as an exception to the
competitive bidding process pursuant to Section 2.24.250(c) and is for a total
amount not to exceed $480,000.
Summary
Beach Maintenance use tractors and a refuse truck daily to ensure Santa Monica State
Beach is clean and safe for the public. Staff recommend the purchase of two tractors
and one refuse truck for Beach Maintenance in the Public Works Department to replace
the current vehicles which have exceeded their useful lives. The tractors are used to
move and sanitize the sand every morning from Will Rogers State Beach to the Venice
border, and the refuse truck services 264 trash cans on the beach daily. Staff
recommends issuing two purchase orders to purchase these three heavy-duty vehicles
for a total amount not to exceed $785,000 including a 10% contingency.
Discussion
The Fleet Management Division is responsible for ensuring that over 700 vehicles in the
City’s diverse fleet are available, dependable, meet the highest environmental
standards for a sustainable fleet, and are safe to operate from acquisition through

disposal. The Division routinely replaces vehicles that have reached the end of their
cost-effective useful lives through the Vehicle Replacement Fund.
Beach Maintenance relies on the aforementioned equipment to keep Santa Monica
State Beach clean, sanitized, and safe for public use, and to divert pollutants from going
into the ocean. John Deere tractors are used to pull large heavy-duty rakes along the
sand at the water’s edge to remove debris such as trash, leaves, rocks and items left
behind by beachgoers, and to relocate or smooth the sand mounds that accumulate,
particularly against the snow fence at the east edge of the beach. The current tractors
are nine and eleven years old, and have an asset life of ten years.
Additionally, a specialized four-wheel drive side loading trash truck is required to service
the 264 trash cans located on the sand throughout Santa Monica State Beach. One
equipment operator spends the full workday during the summer and most of the day
during the winter servicing the cans. When the trash truck is out of service for repairs,
Beach Maintenance must manually remove trash from the cans requiring a total of four
staff to do what one equipment operator can do with the trash truck.
Trash trucks like the ones used in the Resource Recovery and Recycling (RRR)
Division are not four-wheel drive and are unable to maneuver in the sand. Staff
reviewed alternatives but none were as efficient or cost-effective as purchasing a four-
wheel drive trash truck. Staff explored moving the trash cans from the sand to along the
new beach trail and bike path but the trash trucks used by RRR are too heavy and
would damage the path. The current vehicle is 12 years old and was due for
replacement in 2018. The three heavy-duty vehicles below are proposed for
replacement and are nearing or have exceeded their asset lives.

Vendor Selection
Exception to Competitive Bidding
Staff recommends Velocity Truck Centers, a local dealer of Crane Carrier Company, LLC, to furnish and
deliver one Crane Carrier LET2-26 refuse truck as an exception to competitive bidding per Muni Code
2.24.250 (c), competitive procedures were followed by a governmental agency, federal, state, county,
city, joint powers agency, special district, or cooperative purchasing agency and the goods or services are
supplied to the City at the same or better price. Velocity Truck Centers has proposed to assemble the
four-wheel drive trash truck per Beach Maintenance specifications. Additionally, Velocity Truck Centers
has previously supplied parts and service to the City through various purchase orders, with satisfactory
results.
On April 16, 2020, Sourcewell (formerly known as National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA)), a government
agency that establishes nationally leveraged and competitively solicited purchasing contracts for
education, government, and nonprofits, issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Class 4-8 Chassis with
Related Equipment, Accessories, and Services. Under the terms of the RFP and the resulting Sourcewell
Agreement with Crane Carrier Company (Agreement #060920-CRN), similar nationally leveraged
purchasing discounts are also available to other government agencies. The discounts offered in the
Sourcewell contract are an additional 10% off customer discount pricing.
Staff also recommends RDO Equipment Co., a local distributor of John Deere tractors, to furnish and
deliver two John Deere 6175M tractors as an exception to competitive bidding per Muni Code 2.24.250
(c). RDO Equipment Co. has previously supplied parts and service to the City through various purchase
orders, with satisfactory results. On March 22, 2019, Sourcewell issued a RFP for Heavy Construction
Equipment with Related Accessories, Attachments and Supplies. Under the terms of the RFP and the
resulting Sourcewell Agreement with John Deere (Agreement #032119-JDC), similar nationally leveraged
purchasing discounts are also available to other government agencies. The discount offered in the
Sourcewell contract is 24% off the dealer price.
Financial Impacts and Budget Actions
Staff seeks authority to approve available funding from the Vehicle Replacement Fund
to award a purchase order with RDO Equipment Company for purchase and delivery of
two John Deere tractors and a purchase order with Velocity Truck Centers for purchase
and delivery of a Crane Carrier trash truck.

Santa Monica’s voters adopted a City Charter amendment commonly known as
the Oaks Initiative. The Oaks Initiative requires the City to provide this notice and
information about the Initiative’s requirements. You may obtain a full copy of the Initiative’s
text from the City Clerk.
This information is required by City Charter Article XXII—Taxpayer Protection. It
prohibits a public official from receiving, and a person or entity from conferring, specified
personal benefits or campaign advantages from a person or entity after the official votes,
or otherwise takes official action, to award a “public benefit” to that person or entity. The
prohibition applies within and outside of the geographical boundaries of Santa Monica.
All persons or entities applying or receiving public benefits from the City of Santa
Monica shall provide the names of trustees, directors, partners, and officers, and names
of persons with more than a 10% equity, participation or revenue interest. An exception
exists for persons serving in those capacities as volunteers, without compensation, for
organizations exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3), (4), or (6), of the
Internal Revenue Code. However, this exception does not apply if the organization is a
political committee or controls political committees. Examples of a “public benefit” include
public contracts to provide goods or services worth more than $25,000 or a land use
approval worth more than $25,000 over a 12-month period.
In order to facilitate compliance with the requirements of the Oaks Initiative, the City
compiles and maintains certain information. That information includes the name of any
person or persons who is seeking a “public benefit.” If the “public benefit” is sought by an
entity, rather than an individual person, the information includes the name of every person
who is: (a) trustee, (b) director, (c) partner, (d) officer, or has (e) more than a ten percent
interest in the entity. Therefore, if you are seeking a “public benefit” covered by the Oaks
Initiative, you must supply that information on the Oaks Initiative Disclosure Form. This
information must be updated and supplied every 12 months.
