end
Suggested Action:
recommendation
I move the Mayor and Council authorize the City Administrator to enter into an agreement with Mid-Atlantic Waste Systems for the purchase of a TYMCO Street Sweeper and authorize an expenditure not to exceed $300,000.00 of American Rescue Act funds. The Treasurer is authorized to make a required modification to the budget to facilitate this purchase, pending legal review.
end
Summary Background:
The Department of Public Works periodically must replace trucks due to the eventual wear they receive from years of consistent use. The current sweeper is seven years old and has provided service to the City and surrounding municipalities. This sweeper is a mechanical sweeper and only removes large debris and some sediment from City streets. The proposed sweeper will remove debris and has the capacity to remove 100% of the street sediment using a regenerative air system. The TYMCO sweeper will allow DPW to remove a significant amount of sediment from City streets, this will also benefit our local streams and rivers. We are recommending purchasing the TYPCO sweeper from Mid-Atlantic Waste systems off of the Sourcewell contract #122017-TYM.
Next Steps:
Issue a purchase order and place the order for the new sweeper.
Fiscal Impact:
NTE $300,00.00
