BACKGROUND Included in the City's adopted FY 2015-16 Operations and Capital Improvement Budget, this purchase will replace the existing paint/stencil truck, Unit #317, a 1992 Ford F350 flatbed truck used by the Traffic Operations Section for the painting of roadway markings, crosswalks, and curbs. ANALYSIS Purchasing this vehicle through the National Auto Fleet Group Contract #102811 -NAF in conjunction with the National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA) meets all requirements set forth in the City of Costa Mesa's purchasing policy manual and all requirements set forth by the State of California in regards to regional cooperative purchasing agreements. The NJPA established pre -approved vendors following a nation-wide competitive bid process. This assures that the City receives the lowest available pricing and meets the competitive bid process requirements, and has been utilized successfully for several previous vehicle purchases. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED The replacement of the paint/stencil truck could be denied. However, due to the age and poor condition of the existing paint/stencil truck, rebuilding or refurbishing this vehicle is not a cost effective option. Not having an operational paint/stencil truck will result in a potential increase in the City's liability and a significant decline in the level of service in the painting of essential roadway markings, such as crosswalks, stop 1 messages, bike lane legends, residential red curb and other similar markings. Staff does not recommend this option. FISCAL REVIEW The FY 2015-16 Public Services Department budget provided $120,000 for the replacement of this vehicle. The cost of the new vehicle is $114,759.27. LEGAL REVIEW There is no legal review required on this item. CONCLUSION Staff recommends that the City Council approve and authorize the Chief Executive Officer to execute an agreement for the purchase of a 2016 Ford F450, 2 -wheel drive supercab truck with a `Roadline TPMT' stencil/paint truck bed through the National Joint Powers Alliance (NJ PA) #102811 -NAF with National Auto Fleet Group, 490 Auto Center Drive, Watsonville, California 95076 in the amount of $114,759.27.
