On Tuesday, March 30, 2004, the City of Lawrence opened proposals for the following:
#0415 – VACUUM STREET SWEEPER – PUBLIC WORKS

VENDOR |
TOTAL BID |

$ 150,436.00 |
|
Key Equipment Co. |
160,700.00 |
|
Tennant |
No bid |

Public Works requested bids for a vacuum street sweeper. The street sweeper in use now, Unit 350, has past the end of its life cycle for cost effective operation and qualifies for replacement. The low bid from Sellers Equipment did not meet specifications for broom size, water capacity, vacuum fan construction and filter screen size.
Recommendation Action:
Approve bid from Key Equipment Co. for one (1) vacuum street sweeper in the amount of $160,700.00 (Special Gas Tax Fund)
