Approval to piggyback the Florida Sheriff's Association Contract no. 13-11-0904 (bid award period 10/1/13 through 9/30/14), Specification No. 47, for the purchase of a 2014 Elgin Pelican Street Sweeper  from Environmental Products, Apopka, FL, in accordance with the attached quote, for the amount not to exceed $174,780.00.

The Public Works Department is seeking approval to replace a 1999 Elgin Pelican Street Sweeper No. 45007 that has provided the City of Fort Pierce with 15 years of service. The Elgin Pelican is a specialized piece of equipment that utilizes water and powerful brushes to sweep the City streets and keep our stormwater system clean.  Normal wear and tear combined with the elements has taken a toll. It is no longer feasible to repair this unit and it should be surplused.

Elgin is the most suitable for our needs. The Elgin Pelican performance is superior to the other machines tested and also the most user friendly from an operator's standpoint, as well as the technician's, that have utilized the equipment.

The Purchasing Department  has reviewed and investigated the procurement process for this item and found all terms and conditions meet the piggyback requirements of the City of Fort Pierce.
