Report to Redding City Council May 14,Z025 Re: 4.5(b)--Authorize Purchase of One Backyara'ArboristAerial Lift and OneTrailer Page 2 Background/Analysis REU's purchase of a backyard Arborist-designed aerial lift is to support its expanding vegetation management efforts and strengthened safety program. Following a recent indirect contact incident involving a service line, REU has prioritized enhanced safety measures to protect employees working near energized conductors. The compact, insulated TDA-58 lift offers a stable platform that allows arborists to inspect and trim vegetation with greater accuracy while maintaining safe distances in high-risk areas. This reduces the need for manual climbing, minimizes exposure to electrical hazards, and supports compliance with CPUC regulations. As REU ramps up safety protocols and works to mitigate wildfire risks across its service territory, this machine is essential for reducing injury potential, increasing access in restricted areas, and reinforcing a culture of safety and operational excellence. The TDA-58 aerial lift is uniquely designed for safe operation in high-risk environments. Its double-insulated, ANSI A92.2-compliant platform protects operators near energized lines, while rubber tracks ensure stability on uneven or landscaped terrain. The compact design allows access to tight areas like rear easements, and the single-hand joystick control enhances operator safety by allowing one hand free for stabilization. These features make it an ideal and safe solution for vegetation management in both urban and rural areas with difficult access. REU is requesting approval to purchase a low-hour,pre-owned, 2021 Arborist-designed TDA-58 aerial lift as a sole-source, non-bid procurement under Municipal Code §4.20.080 (6). Selecting the 2021 model over a new unit results in $114,000 in immediate cost savings while delivering the same service life, capabilities, and reliability. This purchase represents a fiscally responsible, long-term investment that supports the City of Redding's (City) commitment to efficient spending and operational effectiveness. The TDA-58 wi11 reduce labor and outage-related costs, improve productivity in hard-to-access areas, and minimize ongoing maintenance expenses— ultimately maximizing the City's return on investment. In addition to the substantial upfront savings, this procurement aligns with the City's goal of acquiring durable, high-performing equipment that delivers sustained value. The TDA-58's specialized features wi11 enhance REU's ability to conduct critical vegetation management in challenging terrain, reduce reliance on manual labor, and increase overall crew efficiency. By securing this well-maintained 2021 unit at a significantly reduced cost, the City ensures both immediate financial benefit and long-term operational gains.
