Staff also recommends <br />that for Fiscal Year 2020-2021 the City Council approve an appropriation of $99,472.01 from the <br />Equipment Repair and Maintenance Fund Balance to the Equipment Repair and Maintenance <br />Account 690-16-002-7510. <br />BACKGROUND <br />The replacement piece of equipment will be housed in the Parks section of the Public Works <br />Department. The new F-350 chassis-mounted solid waste collection unit replaces a Ford F-350 <br />truck with a dump bed (purchased in 2008 with a 10-year useful life) and a tow-along Rake-O-Vac <br />(purchased in 2001 with a 15-year useful life), both used for parks maintenance throughout the <br />City. Both pieces of existing equipment were scheduled for replacement in Fiscal Year <br />2018-2019. <br />Analysis <br />The existing F-350 truck with a dump bed is used to remove trash bags from City parks, with staff <br />manually lifting bags and putting them into the dump bed. Historically the Rake-O-Vac was used <br />to perform leaf pick-up in grass and non-grass areas. In the interim since its purchase, staff has <br />implemented Bay Friendly guidelines that encourage leaving leaf material in non-grass areas as <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 2/11/2021 <br />48
