Burkburnett to lease Tymco Model 435 street sweeper under 5‑year agreement
Summary
After the current unit was deemed inoperable, commissioners approved a five‑year lease for a Tymco Model 435 via Sourcewell procured through Dex Capital: acquisition cost $234,411 with annual lease payments of $39,897.73 paid from the stormwater drainage fund; the purchase includes a 3‑year service and training contract.
City staff presented bids and recommended financing a Tymco Model 435 street sweeper through a five‑year fair‑market‑value lease with Dex Capital using a Sourcewell cooperative contract. Staff said the existing unit was inoperable and that leasing would smooth long‑term budget impacts: acquisition cost is $234,411 and annual lease payments are $39,897.73 funded from the stormwater drainage fund.
Street superintendent Brian Archer described available vendor training and a two‑day hands‑on teardown course that will prepare staff to maintain the sweeper; the vendor includes a three‑year service and maintenance contract. Commissioners agreed leasing at a predictable annual cost is fiscally preferable to paying for large mid‑life repairs. The motion to approve the purchase and five‑year lease passed unanimously.
