REQUE,~FOR CITY ,COUNCIL AGENDA I~~ Agenda Date Requested: Januar 9 89 Requested By: X Steve Gillett Department: Report Resolution Exhibits: See Attached Invoices SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION On December 7, 1988, severe metal damage was discovered in the tailgate packing assembly on garbage truck ~~72-03, a 1984 GMC with a Leach 2R packer body. Subsequent inspection of other trucks revealed similar damage on garbage truck ~~72-04, a 1985 GMC with a Leach 2R packer body. A local welding shop was requested to inspect the damage, and estimated repairs at less than three thousand dollars ($3,000.00) each. When disassembled, the interior damage was greater than originally anticipated. Although it was apparent that the repairs would exceed $3,000.00 for each vehicle, the Public Works Department determined that the repairs could not wait for formal bidding and award. The holiday season is the heaviest time of the year for garbage. Additionally, the planned annexation of Bayshore Municipal Utility District on January 1, 1989, created an additional load on the heavy holiday schedule. Therefore, the repair shop was authorized to begin repairs. The cost to repair unit 472-03 was four thousand three hundred thirty-two dollars and forty-one cents ($4,332.41). The cost to repair unit ~~72-04 was four thousand one hundred sixty-five dollars and fifteen cents ($4,165.15). Total cost of repairs for both vehicles was eight thousand four hundred ninety-seven dollars and fifty-six cents ($8,497.56). Action Required by Council: Declare an emergency and authorize payment of $8,497.56 for repair of garbage trucks #72-03 and ~~72-04 to Hambrick Welding.
