Executive Summary:

 

The replacement of high cost infrastructure maintenance equipment relating to storm water operations was identified in the CIP process.  The replacement of unit #731 was identified due to its age and condition.  This unit is a combination vacuum and jet truck that can also perform hydro excavation.  This unit can be used to clean both storm water and sanitary sewer systems.  Storm water operational staff have conducted demonstrations with three equipment providers to evaluate performance, safety, and ease of use.   Contract pricing structures were obtained, through the NJPA cooperative purchasing agreement, with trade value for unit #731 (trade-in value $60,000).  It was determined that Super Products Camel 1200 Combination Sewer Cleaner Truck from Elliott Equipment Co. provided the most advantageous pricing structure that aligned with the CIP budgeted projections.  This type of unit is also utilized in the sanitary sewer operations within the city.  This will allow staff familiarization, multiple department uses, and some shared parts stocking which can lead to efficiencies with both operations.
