AUTHORIZE STAFF TO SOLICIT BIDS FOR REPLACEMENT SIX-WHEEL
BROOM STREET SWEEPER
SUMMARY
Authorize City staff to advertise and solicit bids for the replacement of one six-wheel broom street
sweeper for use by the Public Works Department/Field Services Division.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council, authorize City staff to advertise and solicit bids for one
new six-wheel broom street sweeper.
FISCAL IMPACT
The replacement of the proposed six-wheel broom street sweeper is budgeted in Fiscal Year
2001/02 under the special equipment replacement fund, account number 84-801-9740. The total
amount accumulated in the equipment lease fund forthis replacement is $178,915.
BACKGROUND
The Public Works Department/Field Services Division is scheduled to replace a 12-year old street
sweeper during this fiscal year. The old street sweeper was originally scheduled to be replaced in
the 1997/98 Fiscal Year. In Fiscal Year 1998/99, upon an evaluation of the sweeper condition by
Field Services staff it was determined that an expenditure of $23,000 from the lease fund to
refurbish the rear engine and the conveyor belt system would extend the life of the equipment by
2-3 years. The refurbished sweeper is now at the end of its useful life and needs to be replaced.
The estimated replacement cost of the new broom street sweeper is $175,000. The new street
sweeper will be in compliance with South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) for
the new PM-10 requirements. The old street sweeper will be declared surplus and sold at public
auction.
