DISCUSSION The Fleet Maintenance Division of the Finance and Management Services Agency is responsible for the maintenance and repair of 11 street sweepers used by the Public Works Agency's Street Sweeping Division. The street sweepers maintain over 60,000 miles of City streets annually. The brooms on the sweepers used for street maintenance need periodic rewrapping to maintain effectiveness. On February 22, 2005, the City Council awarded an agreement to American Rotary Broom Co., Inc, for a one-year period that was amended through June 30, 2006. Due to constant fluctuations in the price of steel and plastic required for rewrapping of the sweeper brooms, added to the increasing fuel costs, the agreement amendment will provide for price adjustments upon mutual consent while bids are solicited for a long term contract.
