8e. Approve Plans & Specification/Order Advertisement for Bids for Street
Sweeper
As a part of the 1988 Budget Council approved the purchase of a street sweeper in
the C.I.P. In order to obtain delivery by Spring of 1988 it is necessary to
purchase this machine prior to January 1, 1988. Payment would be made 30 days
after delivery of the product.
Staff budgeted $75,000.00 for the replacement of this sweeper but will be trading
in the existing 1974 Elgin on this new purchase. The new street sweeper will be
similar to the existing in that it will be a front end unload and tricycle type.
Therefore I would recommend that Council approve the specifications for the
purchase of a 1988 street sweeper and authorize the advertisement for bids for a
bid opening date of December 10, 1987 at 2:00 p.m.
I will be at the Council meeting to answer any questions Council may have
regarding this matter.
