RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and
Clerk of the Council to execute an amendment to the agreement with American
Rotary Broom Co., Inc. for street sweeper broom rewrap for a three-month
period in the amount not to exceed $35,000.
DISCUSSION
The Fleet Maintenance Division of the Finance and Management Services
Agency is responsible for the maintenance and repair of 11 street sweepers
used by the Public Works Agency's Street Sweeping Division. The street
sweepers maintain over 60,000 miles of City streets annually. The brooms
on the sweepers used for street maintenance need periodic rewrapping to
maintain effectiveness.
On February 22, 2005, the City Council awarded an agreement to American
Rotary Broom Co., Inc, for a one-year period that was amended through June
30, 2006. Due to constant fluctuations in the price of steel and plastic
required for rewrapping of the sweeper brooms, added to the increasing fuel
costs, the agreement amendment will provide for price adj ustments upon
mutual consent while bids are solicited for a long term contract.
