ITEM  36 City Council Memorandum      Public Works & Utilities  Memo No. ST24-014         Date: November 9, 2023 To: Mayor and Council Thru: Joshua H. Wright, City Manager Andy Bass, Deputy City Manager John Knudson, Public Works and Utilities Director From: John McFarland, Transportation Manager Subject: Purchase of Street Sweeper

Proposed Motion:

Move City Council approve the purchase of a street sweeper, from Nescon, LLC, utilizing Maricopa County Contract No. 190170-S, in the amount of $348,826.55.

Background/Discussion:

The Transportation Division is responsible for sweeping 2,081 lane miles of city-owned residential and arterial roadways. Street sweeping provides cleanup when there is a spill in the roadway, traffic accident, or special event to maintain the cleanliness of the streets and help reduce particulate matter (PM-10) to improve the region’s air quality. The effort supports effective mobility and a healthy, attractive, and safe community. The replacement sweeper will meet the city’s obligations regarding Maricopa County PM-10 air quality measures. The Fleet Advisory Committee has recommended replacement of this street sweeper due to its age, maintenance, history, and projected cost to operate. Replacement cost for this street sweeper is included in the Fiscal Year 2023/2024 capital improvement program budget.

Evaluation:

Maricopa County competitively solicited and awarded a contract for vehicle outfitting to supply, install, build, and modify/fabricate truck bodies, including street sweepers, to Nescon, LLC. The city has a current Intergovernmental Agreement with Maricopa County allowing for the cooperative use of the county’s contracts. The Maricopa County contract is valid through January 31, 2024. Staff recommends cooperative use of this contract because the price is competitive compared to other contracts and the requested product has performed well. Fleet Services also has approved the vehicle specifications and the street sweeper operators are familiar with its operation.
