FROM:Dianarmorfis^x—-SUBJECT:Agenda Item #
City Manager Commission Meeting,
Approval of TrashCraneRepair
AftertheFact-Emergency
10
The attached resolution seeks approval fora $1,826.77 expenditure undertaken two
weeks agoto repair a "front line"trash crane.The crane required immediate attention,
since the operation can not run for a prolonged period without a spare crane.
Waiting until today's meeting would have required a delay of over 10 ten working days.
During this time,the spare crane (a relatively old vehicle)would be used continuously.
Consequently,a crane breakdown would have left the trash collection operation with one
crane,orat50percent of capacity.ThissituationwasdocumentedbythePublicWorks
Department inits request foran emergency purchase order(see memorandum attached).
The above circumstances required that immediate action be taken.Approval ofthe
expenditure is therefore recommended.

FROM:-^^an'd^S!c^i|!^SUBJECT:TRASH CRANE REPAIR
Public Works DirectcV (DYNAMIC POWER HYDRAULICS)
An order form for a crane repair (Veh.#21-33)was sent by Motor Pool
Supervisor Pedro Gonzalez.The work required is extensive,and totals
$1,826.77.Since this amount is over the $1000 Commission limit,the item
will need to go on the next meeting '$agenda "after the fad "(March 3Td).
Although costly,this type of repair is not uncommon for a four year old crane
that is used over 6 hours daily,five days a week.
The repair can not wait until Commission approval since this is one of our
"front-line"cranes.Trash collection services can be seriously hampered if the
Department operates without a spare crane for a prolonged period.
Therefore,it is imperative that a purchase order is provided so that work can
proceed with minimum delay.
No additional quotations are required,since this price /actors in labor
charges due the fact that the crane mechanism is already disassembled at the
vendor's shop (necessary for full diagnosis).Any other quotes will be
significantly higher due to the labor required to disassemble the crane.
As always,your assistance is greatly appreciated.
