The Streets Section performs ongoing roadway maintenance and repair, including shouldering and road-base replacement. While the material for these projects can be purchased commercially, it represents a significant portion of overall project costs. The new screen plant will allow the division to process raw, unusable, and often free materials, including asphalt millings and spoils, into high-quality, usable road-maintenance products. This equipment will produce cinder-sand, asphalt millings, and fill dirt/rock for roadway construction, shouldering, and emergency backfills, as well as support screening needs for the Road and Repair Street Safety Program. This purchase replaces an existing screen plant that was purchased used more than 25 years ago. The older unit has experienced significant breakdowns over the last several years. The age of the equipment has made repair and maintenance extremely difficult, prompting the request to replace the aged unit. The existing plant is not mobile and requires the Streets section to transport material to and from its location. The new screening plant has mobile capability, allowing the Streets Department to move material production closer to maintenance needs; this reduces hauling miles, fuel consumption, employee hours, equipment wear, and overall material-handling costs.  
Published 08/04/2026 & 08/15/2026, in the Arizona Daily Sun. City, Purchasing section solicited an Invitation For Bid on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, closing on Wednesday, August 19, 2026 at 3:00pm. The City received five (5) bids. After review, the City is choosing the lowest responsive responsible bidder. 

   

None.

The mobile screening plant supports the Carbon Neutrality Plan by allowing Streets to reuse asphalt millings and spoils on site instead of hauling them to and from a fixed location and buying new material.  Moving production closer to the work rescues hauling miles and fuel use.  The new unit also replaces a 25-year-old machine that has required frequent repair.
