Title
Street Sweeper Repairs
History
In February, the Village’s 2005 Elgin Crosswind Street Sweeper began exhibiting poor vacuuming performance. The replacement cost for a new sweeper is approximately $240,000. The unit was sent to Standard Equipment Company of Chicago Illinois, who is the manufacturer's authorized service center for inspection and recommended repairs. Standard Equipment submitted an initial estimate of repair in the amount of $5,655.00. Subsequent evaluation has determined additional work may be needed to restore the sweeper to full vacuuming capacity. As the unit is still being evaluated the total repair cost is not available, but is estimated to be approximately $9,000.
On April 4, 2016, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
Funds are available in 010-5006-443400 for the repairs.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the Street Sweeper repairs by Standard Equipment Company of Chicago, Illinois in an amount not to exceed $9,000.00.
