City Council Staff Report DATE: JULY 20, 2022 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT DISTRICT: All SUBJECT: APPROVE PURCHASE ORDER NO. 20230005 WITH NIXON-EGLI EQUIPMENT COMPANY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FOR A NEW 2021 DEMO UNIT PETERSEN TL3 LIGHTNING LOADER GRAPPLE TRUCK IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $224,587. ISSUE Approve Purchase Order No. 20230005 with Nixon-Egli Equipment Company of Southern California for a new 2021 demo unit Petersen TL3 Lightning Loader Grapple Truck in an amount not to exceed $224,587. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council approve Purchase Order No. 20230005 with Nixon-Egli Equipment Company of Southern California for a new 2021 demo unit Petersen TL3 Lightning Loader Grapple Truck in an amount not to exceed $224,587. BACKGROUND Illegal dumping is a serious problem that affects our community’s quality of life, finances, and the environment. To better address illegal dumping and its negative impacts, the Maintenance Division acquired a Petersen TL3 Lightning Loader in FY 2018-2019 from reimbursement fees received from Waste Management as part of their Franchise Agreement with the City. The lightning loader was the first step in establishing an Illegal Dumping Program with dedicated equipment and staff, providing them with safer and more efficient means to dispose of bulky trash and clean up illegal dumpsite materials. While staff have been able to better respond to illegal dumping incidents, illegal dumping continues to be a significant problem within the City. Since July 2019, there have been over 2,700 work orders resulting in more than 5,000 tons of debris and trash being collected by the Maintenance Division. Therefore, the purchase of a second Petersen TL3 Lightning Loader Grapple Truck will expand the Illegal Dumping Program and enable a second crew to exclusively respond to incidents of illegal dumping throughout the City.

Report to Mayor and City Council Re: Approve Purchase Order No. 20230005 with Nixon-Egli Equipment Company of Southern California July 20, 2022 Page 2 DISCUSSION A new Petersen TL3 Lightning Loader Grapple Truck for the Illegal Dumping Program will allow the Maintenance Division to double their efforts to address the increased and growing problem of illegal dumping within the City. Currently, if additional crews are assigned to assist in cleaning up illegal dumping sites and debris, they must do it manually, which is a slow and cumbersome process. The addition of a second Lightning Loader provides staff with a safer, more efficient method to pick up and haul illegally dumped debris and large, heavier items (e.g., mattresses, appliances, furniture, etc.). It will also allow two crews to be scheduled daily, which will improve response times to citizen requests. As part of the new solid waste agreement amendment with Waste Management, the City will receive additional funds from Waste Management in the amount of $90,000 to fund an Equipment Operator who will operate the Lightning Loader. The City will also receive $200,000 from Waste Management as part of their regular Franchise Agreement fees to address illegal dumping for the purchase of this equipment. Since the cost of the equipment has increased from the original solid waste agreement negotiations, the City will fund the remaining $25,000 for this purchase from savings realized from other fees received from Waste Management. The new 2021 Demo Unit Petersen TL3 Lightning Loader Grapple Truck, subject to this Council action, will be acquired through Sourcewell Cooperative Contract No. 040621- PII, as authorized in Palmdale Municipal Code §3.08.090. Sourcewell offers commodities, products, and services at prices, which have been assessed to be fair, reasonable, and competitive. Petersen Industries, Inc., the manufacturer of bulky waste collection solutions, was awarded the Sourcewell Contract on May 26, 2021, and it continues through July 2, 2025. Staff recommends that the City Council approve Purchase Order 20230005 with Nixon- Egli Equipment Company of Southern California. FISCAL IMPACT The Purchase Order amount for a new demo unit Petersen TL3 Grapple Lightning Loader Truck will not exceed $224,587. Sufficient funds are budgeted in Fleet Maintenance Account 15433007-734100. STRATEGIC PLAN Goal II: Ensure long-term fiscal health of the City and maintain funding for services. A. Manage resources, costs, and liabilities to ensure the City’s long-term fiscal health.

Report to Mayor and City Council Re: Approve Purchase Order No. 20230005 with Nixon-Egli Equipment Company of Southern California July 20, 2022 Page 3 Goal III: Invest in infrastructure to improve community livability.
