end
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends the purchase of one Advance SC8000 CYL ECOFLEX scrubber unit for use by the Public Works Department Pier Services Division, replacing Unit # 803. The Unit was approved as part of the FY 2026-27 budget adoption process. Competitive pricing for the vehicle was secured through the City’s regular purchasing procedures.
BACKGROUND
In June 2026, the City Council approved the Decision Package #13 - Vehicle Replacement Purchases. The funding covered the purchase of 22 vehicles/equipment that are at the end of their scheduled life-cycle. The status of the approved FY 2026-27 acquisitions is as follows:
At this time, staff recommends the purchase of one Advance SC8000 CYL ECOFLEX scrubber unit for use by the Public Works Department Pier Division. This Unit will replace Unit # 803 approved for replacement in the City’s Adopted FY 2026-27 Budget. This Unit was approved for purchase one year in advance of its scheduled replacement due to the deteriorating condition of the existing unit and meets the operational needs of the Public Works Department Pier Division. The total cost for the recommended purchase is $81,979.78 and funding is available in the Public Works Fleet Operating Budget.
The vehicle recommended for purchase has been selected through the City’s regular purchasing procedures. The procedures contain a number of competitive purchasing options including the use of a Piggyback Bid, which utilizes another public entity's recent Request for Proposal or Bid, or the Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Program. Cooperative purchasing programs provide valuable benefits to state and local governments. By attaching to national or regional cooperatives, an agency has immediate access to legitimately solicited contracts, guaranteed pricing, and delivery options without expending staff resources on the preparation of its own request for bids.
Pricing is often attractive because of the purchasing power of these cooperatives. If approved, the recommended vehicle in this report would be acquired via Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD) Master Agreement #40590.
COORDINATION
The Public Works Department coordinated this report with the Financial Services Department.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for the purchase of the scrubber unit, at a total cost of $81,979.78, is available in the Public Works Department’s Fiscal Year 2026-27 Fleet Services Operating Budget.
