The Public Works Department Street Division is requesting the addition of a new Path Mini Paver, valued at $235,878.14 for the purpose of paving street alleys citywide. The City of Garden Grove does not currently pave public alleys due to the lack of proper equipment. The City's existing paver is 8 feet to 13 feet wide, and the proposed path paver is approximately 3 feet to 7 feet wide, allowing the Streets Division to work in narrower areas such as alleyways. By procuring a Path Mini Paver, the Streets Division will be able to rehabilitate the 169 deteriorating alleys, which encompass 32 centerline miles. This will benefit the City by extending the lifespan of the alleyways for an additional 15 to 20 years. The equipment was approved through the Fiscal Year 2023/24 budget process. 

The City joins other public agencies to purchase fleet vehicles and equipment to enhance its purchasing power and improve efficiency during the selection process. Sourcewell nationally solicits, evaluates and awards contacts through a competitive bid process. Nixon-Egli Equipment Company was awarded as the lowest responsive bidder by Sourcewell via Contract #060122-WAI. The City is piggyback off the Sourcewell contract  for the proposed purchase.

  Nixon-Egli Equipment Company  $235,878.14*

*This price includes all applicable tax and destination charges.

There is no impact to the General Fund. The proposed purchase is on the equipment replacement list of the Fleet Fund approved for Fiscal Year 2023-2024.

It is recommended that the City Council:

• Authorize the Finance Director to issue a purchase order in the amount of $235,878.14 to Nixon-Egli Equipment Company for the purchase of one (1) new Public Works Vogele Super 700 3i Mini Paver.
