end
RECOMMENDATION(S):
Recommendation
That the Board of Supervisors:
1. Approve the attached Budget Transfer/Adjustment in the amount of $12,000 for the Roads-Maintenance Division to purchase one Graco Dura-Flow 2400 Paint Pump in Fiscal Year 2019-20. (4/5 Vote Required)
Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
Roads Maintenance (1200325)
DISCUSSION:
The Road Maintenance Division intends to purchase one Graco Dura-Flo 2400 Paint Pump for use in striper vehicle 44753. Originally, vehicle No. 44753 had four (4) Viscount pumps. Normal wear and tear on the machine caused three (3) of the pumps to fail over time. They were then replaced with easier to find and less costly Graco units, leaving one (1) Viscount pump remaining. The intended purchase will replace the currently failing Viscount II 2400 pump with a Graco unit. This will standardize the striper pumps, ensuring they are all the same make and model. The standardization of the pumps to Graco units, will help reduce the time needed to source replacement parts and maintain the equipment.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The request, if granted, will transfer $12,000 from 1200325-2112 Maintenance Equipment, to the Pump line item 1200325-8751. There is no impact to the General Fund
STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK:
This action supports your Board's Strategic Framework by managing our resources to ensure sustainability of services .
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
Purchasing, Auditor
ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Board could choose to not approve the Request for Budget Transfer/Adjustment. This is not recommended as the Viscount II pump on the striper vehicle is failing and when it ceases to function the striper will be rendered inoperable.
