Chair Pilecki asked if these repairs were for
the boom truck purchased in 1993. If so, it is
probably approaching the end of its life.
Per Nick Wright, Vehicle & Equipment Maintenance Supervisor, and Neil Meyer,
Plant Maintenance Division Manager, the truck is a 1995 unit with 8,766 miles on it
and 3,668 hours. Fleet Operations has it listed in the "as needed" life cycle category
due to low miles/hours, and it is in compliance with all of the District's Air Resources
Board (ARB) requirements. Plant Maintenance and Fleet estimates useful life with
proper maintenance will last a long time, which can range from 20 to 30 years.
The truck is used mainly in the Treatment Plant (TP) and occasionally in Collection
System Operations (CSO). The maintenance is tracked by Fleet and Plant
Maintenance. This includes quarterly and annual inspection by the crane service
provider. Additional maintenance by Fleet includes preventive maintenance,
Department of Transportation (DOT) inspections and emission maintenance and
inspections. Replacement is triggered from Fleet or Plant Maintenance based on
need. Currently, staff estimates the truck needing replacement between Fiscal Year
(FY) 2018-19 and FY 2023-24. This will be reevaluated routinely.
A similar new unit, Terex BT 3870, costs about $156,500. Moving forward based on
changes in the Treatment Plant equipment/systems, staff might require additional
options. Staff may even need a larger capacity, so $175,000 to $200,000 is a better
estimate.
