Report
Summary
The Public Works Department will purchase a Cyclone 4006 AC machine on behalf of the Aviation Department. Currently, Aviation has one rubber removal machine that is at the end of its projected life cycle. This unit uses high water pressure to remove rubber debris from the runway caused by repeated takeoffs and landings from tires. Additionally, the system cleans the runway center lines and restores reflectiveness while reducing paint cost. Aviation will be trading in the old unit to use as a credit toward the new purchase.
Procurement Information
In accordance with Administrative Regulation 3.10, normal competition was waived as a result of a determination memo citing sole source. The Cyclone 4006 AC is a highly specialized piece of equipment designed specifically for rubber and paint removal on runways, taxiways, and gates at airports such as Phoenix Sky Harbor International, Goodyear, and Deer Valley Airports.

This contract will begin upon Council approval, for the one-time purchase of a Cyclone 4006 AC.
