Background Information:
The Utility Metering Division requests the purchase of a new bucket truck from Altec Industries, Burnsville, North Carolina, through cooperative contract #0124-18-ALT in the amount of $145,429, to be used to maintain Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) relays and gateways throughout the service area. The previous practice of borrowing vehicles from other Public Services groups is no longer practical due to the work load the group has and the need for fast response when system communication equipment is out of service.
The City of San Marcos is authorized by Local Government Code, Chapter 271, to participate in cooperative purchasing programs. The Sourcewell Cooperative has awarded contract #0124-18-ALT to Altec Industries, located in Burnsville. North Carolina.
This capital outlay request was approved in September 2019 during the FY20 budget process.
