PURCHASING 07-27-09
The Board considered the purchase of a used 2008 Street Sweeper with 60 hours of use from Berry Tractor of Topeka, Kansas. Jackie Waggoner, Director of Purchasing, presented the item. The Public Works department has a 1995 Walden Street Sweeper with 6,394 hours which is inoperable. This equipment is used daily so the Public Works department may incur an expense of $1,000 weekly to rent equipment. The time frame for a formal bidding process is 4-6 weeks. Berry Tractor has offered a $1,425 trade-in allowance. Because the equipment is inoperable, a trade-in would exceed any auction offer. The following models were considered:
