A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL APPROVING
PURCHASE OF A TYMCO MODEL 600 REGENERATIVE AIR
SWEEPER FOR THE STREET DIVISION, AND FURTHER
APPROPRIATING FUNDS FOR THIS PURCHASE
-------------------------------------------------------------------
WHEREAS, Lodi Municipal Code §3.20.070 authorizes dispensing with bids for
purchases of supplies, services, or equipment when it is in the best interest of the City to
do so; and
WHEREAS, the City Council directed the Street Division of the Public Works
Department to move forward with the implementation of increased sweeping frequency
by acquiring an additional street sweeper and adding a new position to operate the
sweeper full time; and
WHEREAS, the Street Division has researched regenerative air sweepers used
in the area and had on-site demonstrations of the three most -widely used; and
WHEREAS, the Tymco demonstrated the best sweeping capability of the three
units. Another model demonstrated had a safety issue with the location of the diesel
filler for the engine being six feet from ground level; and
WHEREAS, in order to implement sweeping immediately, GCS Western Power &
Equipment, of Sacramento, California, has agreed to sell its demonstrator model at a
reduced price; and
WHEREAS, of the three sweepers demonstrated, the Tymco was the least
expensive at a cost of $118,998.00, including safety equipment. Additional funds in the
amount of $14,502.00 are needed to cover taxes and ancillary equipment to place the
sweeper in service. Specifications and competitive bids were done by Sacramento
County for this sweeper; and
WHEREAS, this unit meets the specifications set forth in the Sacramento County
bid, has less than 400 miles on the chassis, and less than 30 hours on the auxiliary
engine and sweeping components and is basically a new sweeper. This unit would be
supplied with an "As New Warranty" and can be delivered in five days.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Lodi
does hereby approve the purchase of a Tymco Model 600 Regenerative Air Sweeper
demonstrator for the Street Division of the Public Works Department from GCS Western
Power & Equipment, of Sacramento, California, in the total amount of $133,500.00; and
