AGENDA ITEM: Approval of purchase of one (1) ea. 2015 Tymco 500x high-dump <br /> regenerative-air street sweeper from H&E Equipment Services using the City of Tempe <br /> Contract No. T11-144-01 pricing in the amount of $245,586.11 (Vehicle Replacement ..a <br /> Fund) <br /> moving parts requiring repair and replacement. Longer service life translates into lower <br /> operation and maintenance expense on a unit basis (dollar cost per curb-mile swept). <br /> Additionally, the City is required to address water quality concerns and urban pollutants <br /> through regulatory mechanisms such as the AzPDES Small MS4 General Permit, Watson <br /> Lake TMDL, and the Granite Creek TMDL. Finalization of the Watson Lake TMDL is <br /> anticipated in early 2015, with the Granite Creek TMDL to follow, and implementation of a <br /> new MS4 General Permit in July 2015 that has much stricter requirements than the current <br /> permit. Since existing developed areas have limited choices for retrofitting storm water <br /> systems, source control (pollution prevention) is increasingly important to improving the <br /> quality of runoff and meeting regulatory water quality limits. Public streets are part of the <br /> City's storm drainage system; therefore, maintenance of drainage structures and street <br /> sweeping are the City's primary pollution prevention practices. All other storm water <br /> pollution prevention or treatment strategies implemented elsewhere in the watershed are <br /> negated if the drainage system itself is a collector and conveyance of pollutants to receiving <br /> waters. Scientific studies show that street cleaning is one of the most effective and cheapest <br /> methods of pollutant removal, behind storm line cleaning. <br /> Criteria used in recommendation of vehicle replacement is as follows: <br /> No. Year Description Miles/Hours Repair Costs <br /> Life to Date <br /> 1075 2003 Broom Bear Street Sweeper 83,445/13,288 $195,544 <br /> Financial Impact <br /> Funding of $250,000.00 truck is available in the FY 2015 Vehicle Replacement Fund. <br /> Attachment <br /> 1.
