VOOSI�ER <br />EQUIPMENTS <br />(574) 952-5808 PLYMOUTH, IN <br />Exceptions to Bid and Required Stated Information <br />City of South Bend <br />Spec S — One (1) or More 2020 or Newer Truck Mounted Street Sweeper <br />Debris Hopper <br />- Hopper volume capacity is 5 yards. Usable capacity is 4.3 cubic yards which is .5 cubic <br />yards more than specifications. <br />Engine <br />- All maintenance items are on the back side of the engine. Therefore, there is no need <br />for the entire engine compartment to open at 270 degrees. <br />Electrical System <br />- Sweeper and chassis utilize the same batteries providing more cranking amps to the <br />rear engine rather than one battery just for the auxiliary engine. <br />In Cab Sweeping Controls <br />- Hopper lift and dump are controlled with switches rather than a joystick. Switches are <br />cheaper to replace. Joysticks are easily broken. <br />Squeegee Conveyor <br />- There are 13 flights rather than 11 which allows for more debris to be transferred to the <br />hopper at a faster speed. Chain sprockets are rubber rather than polyurethane. <br />Air System <br />- All cylinders are not interchangeable <br />Main Broom <br />- Broom is 58" wide. The Schwarze unit has larger gutter brooms so it is still able to <br />obtain a wider sweeping path. <br />
