AGENDA CAPTION:

Consider action on the purchase of a Model 435 street sweeper from TYMCO through BuyBoard and authorize the City Manager to execute the purchase order in an amount not to exceed $217,357.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this item is to purchase a Model 435 TYMCO street sweeper through BuyBoard in an amount not to exceed $217,357.

Currently, the Town relies on an external contract for street sweeping services. This purchase represents a significant enhancement in service level. By owning and operating a street sweeper, the Town can respond faster after ice or rainstorms and more readily to other problem areas. The street sweeper would also allow the establishment of a more consistent street cleaning schedule.

The sweeper is manufactured in Waco, Texas, and it is the same model as the one currently utilized at the airport. There is an estimated 6 to 8 month lead time for delivery.

This item will be purchased through BuyBoard. This state-wide collective purchasing agency bids out services and products for its members to provide the leverage needed to achieve better pricing on products, equipment, and services. Details of the street sweeper can be found in the attached quote.

The $225,000 budget for the $217,357 purchase was approved as a decision package as a part of the Fiscal Year 2024 budget process and will come out of the 2024 Stormwater budget. The decision package also included a full-time employee to be hired for the operation of the street sweeper. Staff plans to advertise for this position soon.

RECOMMENDATION:

Administration recommends approval.
