RE: Jet Vacuum truck purchase - Approved CIP 00/01
ISSUE:
Should the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners approve the
lease/purchase of a jet vacuum truck for the Public Works Stormwater division?
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
In the 2000/01 CIP budget you authorized $190,400 for the lease/purchase of a jet
vacuum truck. The Public works fleet supervisor and stormwater supervisor have
conducted a thorough analysis of the three major vendor's trucks. Rob Scherer, fleet
maintenance supervisor, conducted his review from the construction quality and
maintainability aspects of all three suppliers. Buddy Elmore, stormwater supervisor,
conducted his review from the construction quality and operability aspects of the three
suppliers . Rob and Buddy both agree that though the Vactor truck is not the cheapest,
it offers the best value in all aspects. Copies of Rob and Buddy's analysis are attached.
Quotes were obtained from the three major jet vacuum truck manufacturers and are as
follows:
Vactor $189,545.
Vac-Con 177,173
Clean Earth 233,500.
The proposed Vactor, jet vacuum truck, is available by piggybacking on Metro-Dade
County bid #5668-4/02.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff respectfully requests authorization to proceed with the lease/purchase of the
Vactor jet vacuum truck for $189,000 from funds allocated in 103-538-20-6401.

Re: Jet Vacuum Truck Analysis
After visiting all three vacuum truck factories it is my recommendation for the City to
purchase the VACTOR PD Vacuum Truck for the following reasons:
1. The VACTOR truck is a much better built truck, it has more engine horsepower, a
larger transmission (heavy duty), and heavy duty axles and suspension.
2. The body has a larger cfm PD blower (moves more air). The blower is direct
drive off a heavy duty transfer case (not belt driven). The body holds the most
per size of tank and there is no wasted space on this truck.
3. It has a constantly flooded, variable flow water pump with very few parts.
4. It has the largest air cyclone for PD safety.
5. This truck is built almost 100% at the supplier's factory with state of the art
equipment.
6. This supplier has the largest test and quality control departments of the three.
7. 5 day mechanic training and 3 day operator training is included in the purchase
price.
Attached is my technical analysis of the three proposed trucks.
Again, though not the cheapest, I believe the VACTOR truck offers the best overall
value.

Re: Jet Vacuum Truck Analysis
After visiting all three factories and reviewing all three trucks capabilities, it is my
recommendation that the City purchase the VACTOR Truck. This jet vacuum truck
is far superior to the other two in all aspects. It is operator and mechanic friendly.
Please see the attached testimonial from Joseph Coker, Sewer Collections
Supervisor. Also, please note, The Vactor truck has 355 horsepower, the Vac-Con
has 270 horsepower, and the Clean Earth has 300 horsepower. The Vactor and
Clean Earth trucks have aluminum water tanks while the Vac-Con has plastic water
tanks. The Vactor truck also has a corrosion and abrasion resistant debris tank.
Vactor is the only manufacturer to offer a trade in policy. They guarantee a 50%
minimum trade in after 5 years.
Therefore, for all the reasons stated above, I believe the Vactor Truck offers the
best performance and value.

From: Joseph Coker, Sewer Collection Supervisor
Subject Combination Sewer Cleaner Vehicle, Recommendation
Based on my evaluation of the two quotes that we received from Samson Equipment Co. and
Adam's Equipment Co. to provide a Combination Sewer Cleaner meeting our specihcafions, I would like
to make a recommendation that the City at Fort Wanon Beech purchase the vehicle supplied by Samson
Equipment Co. which is the Victor 2115 seriea.
There are a number of factors that give weight to this recommendation that I would like to
explain hero in some detail.
1. The City has a Vac-Con combination truck in use at the present tree. There are some
areas of concern with this vehicle which make it a less desirable unit to purchase
again.
A. Rust and corrosion developing in very Inaccessible areas where major Components
will have to be removed to treat and paint the affected metal. This is due to the
practice of mounting the water tanks, tool boxes,and operating machinery over
painted surfaces,which accumulate water and moisture.
Due to Vector's design of mounting water tanks,tool bares and associated
machinery directly to the sub frame sides, there are very few areas to trap water and
cause rust-out
8. The location of the water pump for the jet redder above the main water tat has
caused quite a lot of problems for us. This location requires the water pump to
draw the water up from the lower tanks. Often this has caused cavitation problems
at crucial times.
The water pump on the Vector Is located Deter'the low water tat where the
water supply is gravity fed to the suction port of the pump.
C. Vac-Con's practice d over spraying hydraulic and water tow including their fittings
has shown to Des problem. Deterioration cannot be detected until faNuro occurs.
Paint over fittings traps moistens causing rust and conoelon. Often the littng falls
upon service and Inspection.
Vector paints all components before assembly and doe*not over spray wiring,hoses
or fittings with paint
D. The articulation of the hunt hose reel allows the reel to be swung teo degrees
across the from of the tuck At emirs the location of the reel can place the
operator in the lane of traffic with fro protection provided by the vehicle.
•
The hose reel on the Vector mewls In place allowing 180 degrees of movement
The operator works between the trucks headlights and not at anytime in the lane
of vehicle traffic.

LI -d 600E FEW 706 INHWd I f1O3 3DV..NVA lVObd I1dSZ'E 000Z-LI-el
E. Due to the weight of the hose reel unit it requires the use of a support outrigger while
the hose reel Is In use. Without this support damage will occur to the hose fool
swivel and mounts. To properly adjust the host reel over the manhole location,the
operator can move the reel side to side but forward and back he must reenter the
vehicle and relocate It
The Vector hose reel design Is such that the weight is located along the truck frame,
far Ins steel is required b support it No outrigger Is employed to give extra support
for the hose reel operation. The hose reel platform has the*Platy to be Wended out
awry from the front of the buck to allow adjustment of the hose real position without
having to reenter the tuck,thus keeping the operator away from the traffic side of the
vehicle as much as possible.
2. Warranty Repairs and SeMce.
A. Per my conversation with Mt. Todd Massey at Vac-Con, all warranty work and service
that would bo required on the unit would be performed by a local garage. This would
bo set up by the factory. Truck chanties warranty could also be handled the same
way.
Our experience with this type of warranty(*pairs Is that we must get in line with
everyone else and with the nature of work this vehicle Is purchased Ior, long repair
delays are something we need to consider,
B. With our quote from Samson Equipment Co., Mr.James Samson has provided us
a letter stating that all warranty work and service will be performed at the City facility.
I contacted Mr.Zane Kilgo at Samson Equipment Co. and asked who would be
performing the work on the vehicle for warranty matters. Ha stated that all warranty
• work would be done at the City facility by employees Of Samson Equipment
Co. and that all of their personnel are factory trained by Vector. Truck chassis
warranty would be provided by the local freightliner dealer in Mobile or Dot an AI,
3. Standard and Ederrded Warranties.
Due to the nature of work performed by this type of equipment There is a lot of stress
placed upon certain components on the vehicle. Warranty for repair and service Is of prirne importance along with operator and public safety.
A. Standard Waranty. Vector YflcCcn

Unit
l yr to2yr £tMa
54,862.00 $3,552.00
Alter IsNewing the above standard and optional warranty provisions I would recommend the
Vector due to the following reasons.
A. The standard Vector warranty provides a greater amount of factory service for
their product especially on the components with the highest degree of severe use,
the debris body, the water pump and the vacuum compressor.-
S. The warranty for the water tanks although for the same duration, should be noted
that Vector's Is non-prorated. Also at prime importance is the fact that the tanks on
the Vactor are made of aluminum which In the event of damage can be repaired
where the Vac-Con tanks ere made of plastic and would require replacement
C. It has been my experience that of ell the components on this type of equipment,the
water pump is the one Item that requires the mod attention. k is also the moat
important In the event of a sewer main blockage. It Is used to dear debris from
sewer mains and storm drains to prevent flooding and the dlseharge of sewer Into
homes and waterways. The Vector company as it appears stands behind their pump
to a much greater degree than Vac-Con.
4. Equipment Users List Contacts.
A. Okabosa County Water and Sewer. Mr, Mark Griffin
- Okaloosa County Water and Sewer Dept Is a former Vac Con user and has
switched to using a Vector combination unit The reasons that Mr.Griffin gave me
were that they need a vehicle with a higher capacity. They were looking for a vendor
that would provide better service for the vehicle. They were having trouble with t e
transmission that soornod to be unable to be repaired, rendering the vehicle unreliable.
B. Escambia County Utilities Authority. Mr.Robert Harrell
ECUA is a fanner Aquatec user, they switched to Vector for the following
reasons. Better equipment configuration. Better service provided by the vendor.
Customer satisfaction as stated by other users. They report no major trouble with
the unit at all. They get excellent service and prompt response Is provided by the
vendor

C. Gautier Utility;District Gautier Ms., Mr.Afton Nelson
Gautier Utilities made their first purchase of a combination unit They chose the
Vector over other competitors for Me knowing reasons. The Victor-conhguradonwas
bettor than the configuration of other models that were demonstrated for them. The
Vactor was built better. The wiring system was completely sealed and protected from
environmental damage. They compered neighboring titles equipment and comments
from operators about how well their equipment performed and associated trouble they
wore having with it. They had no negative comments about the Vector. Mr. Nelson
stated that they paid$20,000 mare to get the Vector over the next bidder.
5. Additional Options.
A. Beth vendors can supply an Auto Lubrication System on the unit. This system already in
use on some City vehicles can lubricate the entire unit while the unit is in operation. Quotes were
received from both vendors as to the installed cog of this opbon.
Vector: $3,500.O0 Vac-Con: $3,250,00
8. Pressure relief valve. In case the operator were to`dead head"the water pump,this
would protect the pump from damage.
Vector. S750.W Vec Con: Included as standard equipment.
8. Cost Comparison.

1 believe based on the information I have received frum all sources mat for the difference in price
between these two units, that the City would be much better served by purchasing the Vector
combination sewer cleaner.
