Explanation: Fleet Services budgeted in 2019 to replace 21 Police Department vehicles that have reached the end of their reliable lives. Specifications were developed and a request for proposal was published for 21 Ford Interceptor Utility Hybrid vehicles. Sexton Ford submitted the lowest and most responsive and responsible proposal in the amount of $848,883 for the 21 vehicles.

3. Council Bill/Resolution 1136-2019
A Resolution authorizing the purchase of a Vactor Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Jetter-Vacuum Combination unit from Coe Equipment Inc. for the amount of $400,897.38.
Explanation: The Water Pollution Control Division uses combination jetter-vacuum units for maintenance of the storm and sanitary sewer systems and as a hydro excavation tool to aid in utility work. One of the current units has been in service since 2009 and has exceeded its reliable, useful life. This unit has been scheduled for replacement in 2019. After examining historical experience and usage data for this application, it has been determined that a fully dedicated Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) power train can meet the torque and horsepower needs of this unit. CNG is an alternative fuel that provides efficient performance at a low cost and it burns cleaner than diesel fuel. The combination unit specified is available for procurement as part of a joint purchasing agreement through Sourcewell (formerly NJPA) active contract #122017-FSC. Staff recommends a joint purchase of one Vactor Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Combination Jetter-Vacuum unit from Coe Equipment Inc. for $400,897.38 after trade in allowance of $69,756.00. Additional documentation attached.
Fiscal Impact: $390,000.00 is budgeted in Account #448-0867-437.07-03, Motor Vehicle Equipment; $11,751.21 in Account #445-9966-415.03-22, Liability Fund for Safety Options.
Public Notice/Recording: N/A
4. Council Bill/Resolution 1137-2019
A Resolution authorizing approval of a request for a street light at the intersection of 12th Street and 27th Avenue Court, Moline.
Explanation: City staff received a request to install a street light at the intersection of 12th Street and 27th Avenue Court due to safety concerns after dark. Existing street lights are located approximately 160’ to the north and approximately 210’ to the south, however, they provide little illumination to the intersection due to mature trees on the street. The City’s Street Light Policy states that street lights shall be placed at intervals not less than 230’, so a new street light at this location would not be consistent with the Policy. The Policy also states, however, that “Generally, street lights shall be placed at each intersection.” Based on this language and given that the intersection is not adequately illuminated, staff recommends a light be installed. Additional documentation attached.
Fiscal Impact: $375,000 is budgeted in 010-0843-435.04-16, Traffic Signal Maintenance, Utility Service, for street lights. The annual cost of a street light is approximately $90.
