File Number: 20-381 <br />Prior to late 2018 and the advent of SB1 funding, limited Capital Improvement Project (CIP) <br />funds were available for road repairs, resulting in a more than $150 million-dollar backlog of <br />needed road repair/replacement work. Before the purchase of a new paver and the asphalt <br />grinder, crack-sealing was the primary method utilized by City staff for in-house road <br />maintenance. During last year’s paving season, the crack-sealer experienced a third and, in this <br />case, final catastrophic failure. It was not cost-effective to repair it and staff finished the season <br />utilizing a rental unit. In addition, staff has determined that with increased in-house paving <br />operations, the existing crack-sealer was too small and not built to handle the current level of <br />paving work. <br />Analysis <br />The Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) is the largest of 24 Councils of Government in <br />Texas. It has been serving local governments for more than 40 years. H-GAC’s Cooperative <br />Purchasing Program is known as HGACBuy and allows other local governments nationwide to <br />enter into their contracts using their completely bid procurement process. Utilizing HGACBuy, <br />staff procured a bid from Cimline Pavement Maintenance Group (based in Minnesota) for a new <br />crack-sealer. The ‘local’ dealer is ICC Equipment, located in Sacramento. <br />Although the established replacement schedule of 15 years was not met, to date $25,914 has <br />been paid into the garage fund balance for replacement of this piece of equipment. The balance <br />of funding will come from the Gas Tax-RMRA (SB1) fund. <br />Budget Authority <br />The Fiscal Year 2020-21 Vehicle Purchasing Account 690-16-002-7510 has a budget and <br />balance of $391,413. Because this purchase is out of cycle (not scheduled for FY 2020-21), staff <br />requests an appropriation of $25,914 from the Equipment Repair and Maintenance Fund (690) <br />balance. Staff also requests the following fund budget transfer of $35,617 as follows: <br />·Reduce Gas Tax-RMRA Account 140-31-057-6172 by $(35,617) <br />·Budget Transfer Out from the Gas Tax-RMRA Account 140-99-901-8410 for $35,617 <br />·Budget Transfer Into the Equipment Repair and Maintenance Account 690-3950 for $35,617 <br />·Increase Equipment Repair and Maintenance Account 690-16-002-7510 by $35,617 <br />The total of the appropriation and fund balance transfers will cover the $61,531 cost of the <br />replacement equipment. <br />ATTACHMENT <br />Attachments to Staff Report <br />·Equipment Quote <br />PREPARED BY: Debbie Pollart, Director, Public Works Department <br />Page 2 City of San Leandro Printed on 9/2/2020 <br />2390
