INTRODUCED: January 27, 2014 BY: Ami Nawrocki Councilperson Background Paper for Proposed R ESOLUTION DATE: January 27, 2014 AGENDA ITEM # M-5 DEPARTMENT: STORMWATER UTILITY EARL WILKINSON, P.E., DIRECTOR FINANCE DEPARTMENT INTERIM DIRECTOR-DEBORAH MORTON TITLE A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE ACQUISITION OF A NEW STREET SWEEPER FOR STORMWATER UTILITY AND AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASING AGENT TO EXECUTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT FOR SAME ISSUE Should City Council approve the purchase of a new Elgin Street Sweeper for Stormwater Utility? RECOMMENDATION Approval of this Resolution. BACKGROUND This Resolution would approve the acquisition of one new Elgin Pelican street sweeper manufactured in Elgin, Illinois, and sold in Colorado by Faris Machinery Company. Elgin is a respected manufacturer of street sweepers and the City of Pueblo has owned and operated similar Elgin models for many years. This purchase will replace an old street sweeper that has been in service since 2004. The City is a member of the National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA), a service cooperative that offers a multitude of contract purchasing solutions that are competitively bid nationally and awarded on its members’ behalf. Elgin Sweeper Company, agreement number 031710-FSC, is an awarded vendor of NJPA, and rather than going out for a competitive bid for this equipment, the City is taking advantage of this cooperative agreement. FINANCIAL IMPACT Funding for this purchase will be taken from Stormwater Utility’s Vehicle & Rolling Stock account in the approved 2014 budget.
