DPW Superintendent Bob DeGrace reported the department's 2003 Johnson street sweeper (about 17,000 miles and 8,000 hours) is in poor condition and presented estimated costs: roughly $65,000 to repair, $284,000 to replace with a Delvac mechanical sweeper, and $375,000 for a Tymco vacuum sweeper. Trustees asked DeGrace to obtain additional quotes and return with financing options, including bonding or a lease-purchase plan.
The board did not approve procurement at this meeting; the directive was for staff to secure additional competitive quotes and present a purchase or financing recommendation at a future meeting.
