HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 01172012 - C.22RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute a purchase
order in an amount not to exceed $188,842 with Cummins West for the purchase and
installation of Diesel Engine Particulate Traps.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This cost is to be funded through Public Works FY2011/12 Budget (100% Road Funds).
BACKGROUND:
General Services Fleet Management is responsible for keeping the Counties vehicle fleet in
compliance with all state and local agencies policies. Bay Area Air Quality Management
District has an ordinance which makes it mandatory to have all diesel powered vehicles over
14,000 pounds and built prior to 2009, outfitted with particulate traps. These units act like a
catalytic converter on gas units, using the vehicle's exhaust heat to destroy unburned fuel
and other combustible byproducts. The 13 units quoted here represent the final phase of this
project, as Fleet will be 100% equipped with all necessary equipment. BAAQMD’s mandate
on this stipulates all vehicles must be so equipped by December 31, 2011.
