DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency's Maintenance Services Division maintains over
400 miles of streets and sidewalks within the City. Sidewalk cleaning
including the fence rows along major arterials is handled by two
employees using backpack blowers and brooms to pick up the accumulated
debris by hand and deposit into a truck bed. Present health issues
regarding air born dust particulates and late night noise is a concern.
The purchase of a self contained sidewalk vacuum sweeper will address
the dust and noise issues and allow the crews to perform more detailed
cleaning in less time.
The notice inviting bids was advertised on August 19 and 22,
bids were solicited. A summary of the bid invitations
received is as follows:

Bids were received, opened on August 31, 2005, and evaluated. The bid
from Municipal Maintenance Equipment, Inc. quotes a sidewalk sweeper
unit representing a unit half the size and capacity of the
specifications and is therefore nonresponsive. The bid received from
Tennant Sales and Service Company is responsive to the specifications
and meets the City's requirements.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Public Works Roadway Cleaning Machinery &
Equipment account (account no. 68-633-6641).
