SUBJECT: APPROVE PURCHASE OF RIDER SWEEPER FOR USE BY THE
CONVENTION CENTER
FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager
BY: Fleet Operations
SUMMARY
The current sweeper at the Convention Center is no longer capable of performing to the
level of service required and will not be suitable for use when the newly expanded
facility opens in September. This action would award the purchase of a new sweeper
for the Convention Center.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Minute Order No. approving the purchase of one Model 6400 Rider
Sweeper for use by the Convention Center from Tennant Sales and Service Company
in the amount of$29,385.44
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The City's Fleet is examined annually in conjunction with the budget process to evaluate
and determine which units should be replaced. The unit recommended for replacement
has been in service for 17 years and exceeds all established criteria for replacement. In
addition, recent expansion of the Convention Center has added to the routine workload
of this machine further burdening its aging components. In keeping with the City's
established commitment to improving air quality in the Coachella Valley, all fleet
replacements are evaluated for their operational suitability to the use of alternative fuels.
While gasoline and diesel fueled models are available, the unit recommended for
purchase is a battery powered electric vehicle.
The Procurement and Contracting Manager, pursuant to the requirements of Section
3.12.270.6 of the Municipal Code, finds that utilization of the Tennant Sales and Service
Company CMAS (California Multiple Award Schedule) Contract #4-96-38-001A to
procure the proposed equipment.is adequate to protect the public interest, and the total
Item No. 2 . L.
