CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
PURPOSE:
Authorization to purchase three additional front -load refuse collection vehicles for the Subscription
Services (413) Division.
BACKGROUND:
As part of the Fiscal Year 1998 -99 budget, the Mayor and Common Council approved a capital outlay for
the purchase of three (3) additional front -load refuse collection vehicles. Funds in the amount of $435,000
were budgeted in Account 527 - 413 -5701, with a total budget of $477,000 available in this account.
Staff developed and released Bid Specification F99 -22 for the purchase of the three front - loader refuse
collection trucks. This specification was prepared in order to obtain the widest number of responses
without unnecessarily restricting an individual company's ability to successfully compete. This bid closed
on October 15, 1998. Six vendors submitted responses to the bid and five were determined to be
responsive to the bid.
Each of the qualified vendors submitted responses which met or exceeded the minimum requirements set
forth in the specification. Certain features in the specification were offered as standard by some of the
qualified vendors and offered by others as separately priced pieces of equipment. In order to effectively
evaluate the vehicles and in coordination with each vendor, staff adjusted bid prices to reflect an "apples
to apples" comparison of equipment.
ANALYSIS:
Staff established a scoring system which provided a methodology for determining whether a feature
proposed is in the best interest of the City. This scoring system provided a method for considering
whether differing features, such as engine horsepower or transmission types were an additional benefit to
the City. Weighted scales allow the city to rank bid price and actual field testing by both the Fleet and
Refuse divisions into the final decision. As a result of this process, the following final ranking was
established:
Bidder
Total Price
Cost
McNeilus Truck, Colton
$476,165.45
Score 230
Smart Truck Systems, Moreno Valley
$453,710.47
Score 185
Pacific Coast /Amrep, Riverside /Ontario
$455,727.00
Score 160
Arata Equipment (Leach), San Carlos
$565,137.99
Score 155
Note: Refuse front loader bid evaluation attached, Page 3
Based on the above final scoring, staff is recommending award to McNeilus Truck of Colton, as the best
overall value to the City, and will result in significant savings in maintenance and repair costs during the
life /cycle of the truck.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funds in the amount of $435,000 were included in the FY97 -98 Budget, account 527 - 413 -5701 for the
purchase of these three trucks. A total of $477,000 is available within this account. Since the total bid
amounts exceed the City's estimate, staff is electing to defer purchase of the replacement bin delivery
truck, budgeted at $42,000 until the next fiscal year in order to not exceed the department's budget for
this line item.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the resolution rejecting the other bids and awarding the bid for three (3) front -load refuse
collection trucks to McNeilus Truck of Colton, California in the amount of $476,165.45.

CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO
PUBLIC SERVICES DEPARTMENT
INTER - OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: Jim Howell, Director of Public Services
FROM: Bill Oppenheim, Fleet Manager
DATE: November 24, 1998
SUBJECT: Justification for Recommendation of Purchase of
Front Load Refuse Trucks
As part of the Fiscal Year 1998 -99 Budget, the Mayor and Common Council approved a capital
outlay for the purchase of three (3) additional front -load refuse vehicles. Funds in the amount of
$435,000 were budgeted in Account 527- 413 -5701, with a total budget of $477,000 available in this
account.
Staff developed and released Bid Specification F99 -22 for the purchase of the three front - loader
refuse trucks. This specification was prepared in order to obtain the widest number of responses
without unnecessarily restricting an individual company's ability to successfully compete. This bid
closed on October 15, 1998. Six vendors submitted responses to the bid and are ranked lowest to
highest based solely on bid price:
Carmenita Truck, Santa Fe Springs
Pacific Coast /Amrep, Riverside /Ontario
Southcoast Peterbilt /Amrep, Pico Rivera /Ontario
Smart Truck Systems, Moreno Valley
McNeilus Truck, Colton
Arata Equipment (Leach, San Carlos)
$284,288.37 CHASSIS ONLY/
$446,165.45
$447,627.00
$453,710.47
$491,165.45
$565,137.99
INCOMPLETE
None of the bidders that responded were located within the City of San Bernardino. Carmenita
Truck of Santa Fe Springs was automatically rejected as non - responsive, since their bid only
included a chassis and not the refuse body as requested in the bid specification. This resulted in five
vendors whose bids were deemed responsive.
Page 14 of the specification states that "The City of San Bernardino as purchaser reserves the right
to re'ect any or all bids .... and to award the contract to other than the lowest bidder at its
discretion as may be deemed in the best interest of the purchase." All specifications listed in the bid
package were identified as minimum qualifications, which permitted each vendor an equal
opportunity to propose either improved or alternative components. This approach permits the
PURCHASE
JUSTIFICATION
REPORT
City to evaluate new or alternative technology and determine if it meets or exceeds that specified in
the original bid. Staff evaluates these alternatives and determines if either the performance of the
vehicle will be improved by the use of the alternative, or whether operational costs associated over
the life of the vehicle may be lowered. This approach relies heavily on the hands -on experience
of the line personnel within the Fleet Division to make these recommendations.
Staff reviewed each bid package and contacted vendors in order to clarify specified equipment
and /or costs associated with various bid packages. For example, the bids submitted from Pacific
Coast and Southcoast Peterbilt were adjusted to reflect additional costs to the City of $2,100.00 for
the Allison 4560P Transmission as offered by the other vendors as standard equipment. On the
Pacific Coast bid in order to obtain the camera system specified and included in all other vendors
bids, increased the bid amount by $5,178.00. In order to obtain the onboard scale system specified,
both the Pacific Coast and Southcoast Peterbilt bids were increased by $16,200.00. Finally, the
McNeilus Truck bid included an axle that was heavier than specified and not required, thus
reducing the McNeilus bid by $15,000. These actions were necessary in order to ensure equitable
comparisons, i.e. apples to apples, of each vendor's submission. This removed the possibility of
awarding to the lowest bidder and then requiring additional add -ons.
As a result of this adjustment process, the revised bid prices for each of the responsive bidders were
as follows:
Smart Truck Systems, Moreno Valley
$453,710.47
Southcoast Peterbilt /Amrep,Pico Rivera /Ontario
$471,927.00
Pacific Coast /Amrep, Riverside /Ontario
$475,643.45
McNeilus Truck, Colton
$476,165.45
Arata Equipment (Leach), San Carlos
$565,137.99
Staff then prepared a matrix (attached) in which to assign weighed scores for those vendors who
meet and /or exceed the specifications listed in the bid. This scoring system provides a methodology
for determining whether a feature proposed is in the best interest of the City. Scoring was assigned
as follows:
Adjusted Bid Price: Maximum of 50 points for lowest bid and relative lower ranking for
each remaining bids.
Chassis: The preferred specified chassis is the Volvo -White because of past performance and
experience with this chassis. Maximum scoring of 30 points assigned to Volvo- White, 10
points assigned to all others.
Refuse Body: Body styles are either octagon or elliptical, with preference to elliptical due to
reduced internal wear and better trash ejection. 5 points assigned for octagon, 10 points
assigned for elliptical.

REPORT
Capacity: Minimum specification called for 35 -cubic yards. 10 points were assigned for
bodies which exceeded this capacity.
Axles: Score of 5 points for minimum front and rear axle requirements. 10 points assigned if
axle exceeds specification.
Engine: Specified Cummins M -11 280 horsepower. 0 points if did not meet specification, 5
points if specification met, 10 points if specification is exceeded.
Transmission: Specified Allison World 4060. 0 points if did not meet specification, 5
points if specification met, 10 points if specification is exceeded.
Wheel & Tires: Specified steel wheels. 0 points if did not meet specification, 5 points if

specification met, 10 points if specification is exceeded.
Instrumentation: 0 points if did not meet specification, 5 points if specification met, 10
points if specification is exceeded.
Hydraulic system: 0 points if did not meet specification, 5 points if specification met, 10
points if specification is exceeded.
Warranties on chassis, drive train and refuse body: 0 points if did not meet specific -
tion, 10 points if specification is exceeded.
Reimbursement for City warranty repairs: Not separately specified but allowed a 10
point bonus. This option allows the City to perform warranty repairs and receive
reimbursement. In most warranty repairs, the purchaser must return to vehicle to the
provider for repairs resulting in delays because the truck is not available for service.
Training: 0 points if did not meet specification, 5 points if specification met, 10 points if
specification is exceeded.
Delivery days: 0 points if did not meet specification, 5 points if specification met, 10 points
if specification is exceeded.
Parts support and local availability: 0 points if did not meet specification, 5 points if
specification met.

and evaluation of the proposed vehicle's design, reparability, maintainability and operation
by Fleet and Refuse line staff.

REPORT
Based on the above evaluation criteria, the following is the final scoring for each vendor, ranked
highest to lowest as the best overall value for the City:
McNeilus Truck, Colton
$476,165.45
Score 230
Smart Truck Systems, Moreno Valley
$453,710.47

Arata Equipment (Leach), San Carlos
$565,137.99
Score 155
Based on the above final scoring, staff is recommending award to McNeilus Truck of Colton,
based on the best overall value to the City. Staff is recommending rejection of the other bids,
since, in the professional opinions of the Fleet and Refuse Divisions, these vehicles will not provide
the level of performance, service and reliability desired by the City, and will result in significant
additional maintenance and repair costs during their expected lifetime.
