Description Moving the replacement schedule to 12 years from 15. These are additional funds supplementing the City Equipment Replacement funds required to complete the purchase. Total Project Cost: $175,000

Justification The jet truck was purchased in 2011 and was scheduled for a 15 years replacement. The jet-vac has been having frequent mechanical and electrical issues for the past 2 years which has caused our cleaning activities to cease while repairs are made. We do not anticipate that this maintenance history will change and will likely increase. We want to move up the replacement to 2023, this will make for a 12 year replacement. Monthly replacement fees would be increased to reflect a 12 year replacement in the future.The jet truck is vital in the WWD's collection system maintenance cleaning program. Cleaning the sewer helps to reduce backups, Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSO's) and limits the City's liability. By moving up the replacement date, we can stay on schedule with cleaning program and avoid increased liability.

Budget Impact/Other These projects should lower operating expenditures through the earlier replacement of equipment, but it will increase operating expenditures through increased replacement charges. The estimated net increase in annual operating expenditures is $25,000 per year.
