Leaf Vacuum Pick -up Attachments
Reply To: Department
of Public Works
April 16, 1974
The Board of Public Works has awarded a contract, subject to Council
approval of the necessary funds, for four (4) front - mounted vacuum
leaf pick -up machines. These machines mount on the snow plow attach-
ment already in use on City Bureau of Street trucks.
These machines have a screw -type agitator to break up matted leaves so
that they will be picked up by the vacuum attachment. The fan for these
machines is approximately thirty (30) inches in diameter and will pick
up stones, cans, and even an occasional brick.
Leaves are picked up in the gutter at the curb line.
Boxes must be constructed on each truck to accept the leaves as they are
picked up off of the streets. The amount requested for the four machines
is $20,375. The remaining $8,125 is requested to fund the materials and
labor to provide eight such boxes.
Your favorable consideration of this appropriation request is recommended.
Very truly yours,
If -a"� 6'e t a -
