MODEL 6500 POWER PARKING LOT SWEEPER
SUMMARY
Approval of Resolution No. 01-30 will authorize the General Services Department of the State of
California to purchase one Tennant Model 6500 Power Parking Lot Sweeper on behalf of the City
of Tustin.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve Resolution No. 01-30 authorizing the General
Services Department of the State of California to purchase one Tennant Model 6500 Power
Parking Lot Sweeper on behalf of the City of Tustin.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are currently budgeted in this Fiscal Year Operating Budget, Account No. 01-403-9845 for
the purchase of the sweeper. Total fund required including all taxes and State fees are
$22.711.28.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Department/Field Services Street Division is scheduled to purchase a new
parking lot sweeper in FY 00/01. Since the State of California buys in large volume they are able
to receive a lower competitive price for equipment than the City can. Staff has reviewed the
published prices obtained from local vendors and compared those prices to those contained in the
State contract. Staff also contacted a number of distributors in the area and received the following
prices for a similarly equipped sweeper. The prices listed below include tax and applicable fees.

As a result of the comparison the most cost effective option for the City is to purchase the
sweeper through the General Services Department of the State of California at a total cost of
S22.711.28.
