RE: Vacuum Sweeper Bid-Storm Water Utility
BACKGROUND
The Common Council allocated $225,000 in the 2012 CIP Major Equipment Replacement Fund
for the purchase of a new vacuum sweeper and truck chassis for Storm Water Utility operations.
Their current sweeper is a 2004 Freightliner FC80 chassis with a 2003 Tymco DST-6 sweeper
body. The unit has over 42,000 miles and needs to be replaced as it requires much labor and
maintenance to keep it operational. An overhaul of the unit would cost more than its trade-in
value. A new unit will be more efficient,easier to operate and quieter on the streets.
ANALYSIS
Working in conjunction with the Street Division, Purchasing reviewed and prepared proposals
seeking vendors for this unit. Bid requests were sent to the two street sweeper vendors who have
bid in previous years. In addition the bids were advertised in the local paper and posted online on
NovusVendor. Bids were received on March 30, 2012. The bid tabulation is attached. During
our bid review it was noted that one of the bids did not meet the air regenerative bid specification
requirements to minimize sweeper dust/debris output. The Elgin unit did meet the bid
specifications.
FISCAL IMPACT
With trade-in the net fiscal impact of this unit is $226,882. This item was budgeted in the 2012
CIP for $225,000 and would be charged to A/N #: 561-2010-1788-00000 with the overage
covered from the Storm Water reserves.
RECOMMENDATION
Purchasing recommends the Common Council award this bid to Bruce Municipal Equipment, Inc.
for$226,882.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:
