Gillett <br />Department: Public Works <br />Report: XX Resolution:, Ordinance: <br />Exhibits: Report From Equipment Services Superintendent <br />Exhibits: <br />Exhibits <br />Aauropriation <br />Source of Funds: <br />Motor Pool <br />Account Number: <br />Amount Budgeted: <br />Amount Requested: <br />$149,544 <br />Budgeted Item: <br />NO <br />SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION <br />The City operates a street sweeper purchased in 1995. The sweeper is used to remove debris <br />from streets before it can be flushed to the underground storm sewer system, as a component of <br />the upcoming storm water pollution prevention program that will be required by state and federal <br />regulation. Additionally, the sweeper cleans the streets, removing unsightly litter and debris. <br />Sweepers are notorious for mechanical and structural failure, due to the environment they work <br />in. Dirt and debris, combined with water, is a frequent cause of problems with operating this <br />piece of equipment. Recently, the debris holding tank and rear door assembly has completely <br />rusted through in numerous places, requiring complete replacement. The manufacturer has <br />estimated replacement cost of these parts at $35,300. <br />The replacement cost for the street sweeper is $149,544. Leasing was examined, and determined <br />to not be cost-effective. To date, the Motor Pool Replacement Fund has $111,737 allocated for <br />the replacement of this equipment. Two years remain of the estimated life to fund the remaining <br />$37,807. The City can repair the equipment for an estimated $35,300 for another two (2) years <br />of service, or fund the remaining replacement cost ($37,807) and procure a new street sweeper. <br />The additional funding needed is available from funds remaining from earlier replacement of <br />budgeted Public Works Department equipment. <br />Action Required by Council: Provide direction to Public Works Department regarding <br />repair/replacement of Street Sweeper. <br />Approved for City Council Agenda <br />SUL*O J��cLv&_'/ 1-/9-6 <br />Debra Feazelle, City Manager U Date <br />
