Brief Explanation of Document:
Fleet Services staff performs emission tests on all City owned vehicles on site with a State
Certified machine. The approximately 10 year old current unit is being phased out do to new
technology and new paperless reporting. This is a mandate by the State of Washington to
update the machine by ]an. 1, 2014.
The new unit is made by Applus Technologies and is the only machine the State has approved
for purchase, it is a sole source and no other vendors can supply this type of unit. The cost for
the unit is $10,346.66.
The Contract with Applus was reviewed and approved by our Law Dept. The 2013 funding for
the unit is to be charged to our current tool budget allowance.
The cost savings and efficiency to the City for our Fleet Staff to preform hundreds of emissions
a year; no emission test fees, it is done on site, minimal vehicle down time, they are scheduled
with their normal PM schedules, labor/time savings that would be needed to drive the vehicles
to and from a State operated Emissions Center while the operator waits. The new machine also
eliminates the paper documents and reporting to the State though new wireless technology.
