Report
Summary
This contract will provide street sweepers, related services and supplies for the Public Works Department on behalf of the Street Transportation Department. The street sweepers include the Elgin Broom Bear Street Sweepers line which has been proven to perform in intense heat and to collect heavy sand that is constantly being removed from driving lanes. Street sweepers are purchased in accordance with PM-10 guidance, and are required for the safety of drivers and pedestrians while commuting on city streets. In addition, they are used to protect sewers from damage during inclement weather and as dust inhibitors for pollution prevention. Additional funds are needed to allow for the purchase of additional sweepers through contract expiration. Purchases will focus on equipment that have reached the end of their life cycle and have become cost inefficient to keep in operational condition.
Contract Term
The contract term remains unchanged, ending on June 22, 2026.
Financial Impact
Upon approval of $2,400,000 in additional funds, the revised aggregate value of the contract will not exceed $4,800,000. Funds are available in the Street Transportation Department’s budget.
