Public Works & Transportation Committee - 5/12/2026 - Agenda Item D-5 - A-32600497

The City of Oxnard's Public Works & Transportation Committee met on May 12, 2026, to discuss and recommend approval of a rental agreement with Haker Equipment Company for refuge collection vehicles used by the Environmental Resources Division. The proposed contract is for an initial one-year term from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027, with an annual amount not to exceed $2.8 million and includes two optional one-year extensions, potentially extending the contract through June 30, 2029, with a total value not to exceed $8.4 million. The rental agreement, utilizing the Sourcewell Cooperative purchasing contract, aims to address critical capacity gaps caused by an aging fleet and to ensure uninterrupted sanitation services while transitioning to a permanent city-owned fleet. The vehicles operate on compressed natural gas (CNG), supporting environmental goals. Funding for the initial year is included in the proposed 2026-27 budget, with future funding subject to annual budget approvals.
