SUBJECT: Revenue Sharing Funds to purchase two Street Sweepers
Gentlemen;
The Bureau of Streets places a high priority in their
many functions to provide clean streets to our residents
and motoring public. To provide this service depends
greatly on the frequency of which a street is swept. Business
districts and high traffic streets generate dirt at a much
higher rate than do streets in our neighborhood residential
areas. Because of this if we are to-maintain a clean City
some streets require to be swept daily, some weekly, and
some residential streets only once a month. We have mapped
out a program that affords us this frequency but it requires
an adequate number of sweepers on the street to complete it.
We expect an average of 24 miles of sweeping per machine in
an 8 hour shift sweeping in tandems. With the addition of
two more sweepers we can expect an additional 48 curb miles
of sweeping per day. It is easy to see how the additional
mileage will increase the frequency a street is swept.
On March the 3rd the Board of Public Works awarded the
bid for two Elgin Pelican Street Sweepers to Ries Equipment
Co. contingent upon Council approval of Revenue Sharing funds.
The total bid for two sweepers equipped with GMC 3 -53 Diesel
Engines is $52,800.00
Hopefully the Council will see fit to approve this
request thus granting us the benefit of an early summer
delivery of these machines.
Respectfully yours,
Donald L. Decker
Director,
Division of Transportation
