RECOMMENDATION:
That City Council authorize the purchase of a portable lift system and accessories
from ARI-Hetra Incorporated fora total amount of$42,423.95 via participation in the

SUMMARY:
The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians recently donated $45,000 to the Fleet
Operations Division for the purchase of portable heavy equipment lifts. These lifts
are needed to help maintain the City's various medium and heavy equipment such
as the recently purchased Fire units. The new lifts will assist Fleet personnel
through improved shop safety and flexibility over existing working conditions.
BACKGROUND:
At the Sixth Annual Donation Ceremony held on April 13, 2001 the Agua Caliente
Band of Cahuilla Indians generously awarded $45,000 to the City of Palm Springs
specifically for the purpose of purchasing portable lift equipment. The funds were
deposited in account#510-5475-50016.
The CMAS program was established by the State of California to facilitate timely and
value effective procurement of products and services. The purchasing power of
many governmental entities is leveraged to provide lower pricing for all participants
utilizing the program. The Procurement Manager, in accordance with Municipal
Code Section 3,12.270.6 has researched the comparative costs, values and
feasibility of using our own competitive process versus utilization of a CMAS
contract or other state contract. The Procurement Manager finds that sufficient
competition has been conducted to protect the public interest and the total cost of
equipment and service obtained through the CMAS contract is less than the City
would obtain through conducting an independent process.
Funds are available for this purchase in account #510-5475-50016, Hydraulic
Vehicle Lift.
