NO. 04-150) <br /> <br />APPROVED <br />o As Recommended <br />o As Amended <br />o Ordinance on 1 st Reading <br />o Ordinance on 2nd Reading <br />o Implementing Resolution <br />o Set Public Hearing For <br /> <br />,( <br />. <br /> <br />t2/?;{2 <br /> <br />CONTINUED TO <br /> <br />FILE NUMBER <br /> <br />CITY MANAGER <br /> <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br /> <br />Award a contract to Kelly Equipment, using the City of Burbank's <br />contract with Kelly Equipment, for the purchase of two street sweepers <br />in the amount not to exceed 424,797.92; and an additional $5,000 on the <br />annual blanket contract. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br /> <br />The Fleet Maintenance Division's annual Equipment Replacement Program <br />is included in the City's annual budget, and identifies vehicles <br />scheduled for replacement. Funding is monitored through a depreciation <br />schedule established with each department. <br /> <br />The Public Works Agency uses 11 street sweepers to cover over 400 miles <br />of residential streets, 100 miles of primary streets, 50 miles of <br />industrial areas, and 25 miles of alleys. The program also includes <br />sweeping over 81,000 curb miles and the removal of 11,000 cubic yards <br />of gutter litter each year. Mobile Athey street sweepers are no longer <br />manufactured, and replacement parts difficult to obtain. Due to age, <br />engine hours, and worn condition, two 1999 Athey sweepers have been <br />approved for replacement in the current fiscal year. To comply with <br />Air Quality Management District standards, the new street sweepers will <br />be compressed natural gas units. Specifications for the new sweepers <br />also call for a high right side dump hopper system to accommodate <br />proper disposal directly to the Waste Management trash dumpsters. <br /> <br />22R-1 <br /> <br />cs. 383 <br /> <br />
