TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council

By: Dave Thompson, Streets Superintendent
SUBJECT: PURCHASE ORDER WITH HAAKER EQUIPMENT COMPANY FOR THE
PURCHASE OF ONE 2025 ELGIN CNG CROSSWIND STREET
SWEEPER IN THE AMOUNT OF $574,543.62
CEQA: Not a Project
Recommendation: Approve
SUMMARY
The Fiscal Year 2024-25 Equipment Replacement Budget provides for the replacement
of one Compressed Natural Gas (“CNG”) street sweeper for the Public Works Services
Department (“PWSD”) that meets the replacement criteria outlined in the City’s Vehicle
Replacement Program. After exploring purchasing options, it was determined that using
Sourcewell, a national cooperative purchasing program, allows the City to streamline
vehicle procurement and receive the best price possible. It is recommended that the City
Council approve a Purchase Order with Haaker Equipment Company for the purchase of
one 2025 Elgin CNG Crosswind Street Sweeper in the amount of $574,543.62.
BACKGROUND
The Fiscal Year 2024-25 Equipment Replacement Budget provides for the replacement
of one CNG street sweeper in the PWSD. The vehicle that will be replaced is currently
used by the Streets Section of the PWSD and meets both the mileage and age
requirements of the City’s Vehicle Replacement Program. The vehicle being replaced is
a 2015 CNG Street Sweeper with 121,135 miles.
Street sweeping is a vital service that keeps Arcadia’s roadways clean and prevents trash
from entering the storm drain system. The PWSD has two front line street sweepers that
clean every street and alley in Arcadia weekly. Streets in commercial areas are swept
twice a week, and during the fall season with the influx of leaves (October through
January), a third, backup street sweeper is also used.
DISCUSSION
After exploring possible purchasing options, it was determined that using Sourcewell, a
national cooperative purchasing program, enables the City to streamline the procurement
Purchase of CNG Street Sweeper

process and receive the best price possible. The California Government Code authorizes
public agencies to participate in cooperative purchasing agreements such as those
established by Sourcewell, while remaining within the City’s adopted rules and
procedures for purchasing. By utilizing a cooperative purchasing program, the City can
streamline the procurement process and acquire vehicles and equipment at a lower cost
than traditional competitive bidding.
Sourcewell awarded a contract to Haaker Equipment Company for street sweepers and
related equipment. Haaker Equipment Company is a local authorized dealer that can
supply a 2025 Elgin CNG Crosswind Street Sweeper that meets the City’s specifications.
The bidding process and Sourcewell’s contracts have been reviewed by the PWSD and
meet the City’s procurement requirements. A copy of Sourcewell’s contract with Haaker
Equipment Company is attached.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed action does not constitute a project under the California Environmental
Quality Act (“CEQA”) per Section 15061 (b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, as it can be seen
with certainty that it will have no impact on the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of the 2025 Elgin CNG Crosswind Street Sweeper is $574,543.62. The cost for
safety lighting and communication equipment for the sweeper will be approximately
$5,400 and will be acquired through a separate Purchase Order. Funds in the amount of
$760,500 have been budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Equipment Replacement
Budget to replace this sweeper; therefore, sufficient funds exist for this purchase.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council determine that this action does not constitute a
project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”); and approve a Purchase
Order with Haaker Equipment Company for the purchase of one 2025 Elgin CNG
Crosswind Street Sweeper in the amount of $574,543.62.

time after delivery where circumstances or conditions prevent effective inspection of the
Equipment and Products at the time of delivery. In the event of the delivery of nonconforming
Equipment and Products, the Participating Entity will notify the Supplier as soon as possible and

and Products that are acceptable to the Participating Entity.

from the Hot List at any time through a Sourcewell Price and Product Change Form as defined
in Article 4 below.

clearly identified as such. Current ordering process and administrative fees apply. Hot List
Pricing must be published and made available to all Participating Entities.
4. PRODUCT AND PRICING CHANGE REQUESTS

The benefits of this Contract should be available to all Participating Entities that can legally
access the Equipment, Products, or Services under this Contract. A Participating Entity’s
authority to access this Contract is determined through its cooperative purchasing, interlocal,
or joint powers laws. Any entity accessing benefits of this Contract will be considered a Service
Member of Sourcewell during such time of access. Supplier understands that a Participating
Entity’s use of this Contract is at the Participating Entity’s sole convenience and Participating
Entities reserve the right to obtain like Equipment, Products, or Services from any other source.

A. ORDERS AND PAYMENT. To access the contracted Equipment, Products, or Services under
this Contract, a Participating Entity must clearly indicate to Supplier that it intends to access this
Contract; however, order flow and procedure will be developed jointly between Sourcewell and
Supplier. Typically, a Participating Entity will issue an order directly to Supplier or its authorized
subsidiary, distributor, dealer, or reseller. If a Participating Entity issues a purchase order, it
may use its own forms, but the purchase order should clearly note the applicable Sourcewell
093021-ELG
Rev. 3/2021 5
contract number. All Participating Entity orders under this Contract must be issued prior to
expiration or cancellation of this Contract; however, Supplier performance, Participating Entity
payment obligations, and any applicable warranty periods or other Supplier or Participating

Entities will be solely responsible for payment and Sourcewell will have no liability for any
unpaid invoice of any Participating Entity.
B. ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS/PARTICIPATING ADDENDUM. Additional terms and
conditions to a purchase order, or other required transaction documentation, may be
negotiated between a Participating Entity and Supplier, such as job or industry-specific
requirements, legal requirements (e.g., affirmative action or immigration status requirements),
or specific local policy requirements. Some Participating Entities may require the use of a
Participating Addendum; the terms of which will be negotiated directly between the
Participating Entity and the Supplier. Any negotiated additional terms and conditions must
never be less favorable to the Participating Entity than what is contained in this Contract.
C. SPECIALIZED SERVICE REQUIREMENTS. In the event that the Participating Entity requires
service or specialized performance requirements not addressed in this Contract (such as e-
commerce specifications, specialized delivery requirements, or other specifications and
requirements), the Participating Entity and the Supplier may enter into a separate, standalone
agreement, apart from this Contract. Sourcewell, including its agents and employees, will not
be made a party to a claim for breach of such agreement.
D. TERMINATION OF ORDERS. Participating Entities may terminate an order, in whole or
in part, immediately upon notice to Supplier in the event of any of the following events:
1. The Participating Entity fails to receive funding or appropriation from its governing body
at levels sufficient to pay for the equipment, products, or services to be purchased; or
2. Federal, state, or provincial laws or regulations prohibit the purchase or change the
Participating Entity’s requirements.
E. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE. The governing law and venue for any action related to a
Participating Entity’s order will be determined by the Participating Entity making the purchase.
7. CUSTOMER SERVICE
A. PRIMARY ACCOUNT REPRESENTATIVE. Supplier will assign an Account Representative to
Sourcewell for this Contract and must provide prompt notice to Sourcewell if that person is
changed. The Account Representative will be responsible for:
