Authorizing Purchase of Street Sweeper from NITCO in the Amount of $224,111
On December 12, 2018, the City received five (5) responses ranging from $224,111 - $280,440 for the purchase of a street
sweeper.
Staff recommendation is to award the contract for purchase to the low bidder, NITCO, in the amount of $224,111, which includes
the extended power train warranty.
While this make of street sweeper is relatively new to the United States, it has been successfully and robustly used throughout the
United Kingdom for decades. Representatives from both the vendor and manufacturer were on site with the unit. Staff,
thoroughly reviewed the components, and found several benefits to this unit including; the construction of the vac seals, whose
placement allows them to be serviceable, the vac heads, which are constructed from steel vs. cast aluminum, which have a
tendency to corrode and cannot be repaired. In addition, the unit overall has ease of access to repair components based on their
placement. There are ample parts available within the U.S. to make any necessary repairs.
