CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
The Refuse Division has a continuing requirement to provide refuse collection to 4,500 mobile
home customers, approximately 1,000 street container service stops and other locations that have
restricted access; and 65 single family homes in the mountains which are not accessible to
standard collection equipment. Continued two-person "manual" servicing of these locations is
not cost effective when compared to smaller one-person, semi-automated utility collection
vehicles to effectively service these locations. Included in the FY'96/97 Budget is $152,000 for
purchase of two (2) compact, semi-automated collection vehicles.
During interviews with perspective bidders, Staff learned of the availability of two (2) used
Whittke Burro Utility Collection vehicles appropriate for City requirements. Both vehicles were
manufactured in 1991, placed into service in 1993, and have low mileage, under 15,000 miles.
The cost savings of procuring these used vehicles is significant over the purchase of new
equipment. Comparative costs are as follows:
Two (2) new collection vehicles $ 50,700 each = $101,400
Two (2) used collection vehicles $ 20,000 each = $ 40,000
Our heavy equipment shop has evaluated both vehicles and determined both vehicles to be in
good condition, although minor repairs, installation of automated arms, and painting are
required. It is estimated that cost to complete minor repairs, arm installation and repainting will
not exceed $7,000 per vehicle for a total cost of $54,000.
Projected savings over purchase of new vehicles - $47,400
It is recommend that the Mayor and Common Council authorize the purchasing manager to issue
a purchase order to Environmental Refuse Equipment of Arizona in the amount of $40,000 to
purchase two (2) used Burro Utility Collection Vehicles from the capital equipment budget and
reallocate $14,000 from capital equipment to materials and supplies for the minor repairs,
automated arm installation and repainting.
Quotations for new and used compact refuse collection vehicles are attached.
