Title
Resolution Approving an Equipment Acquisition Agreement with Neverest Equipment Company, LLC for the Purchase of a Street Sweeper
Body
________________________________________________________________________________
Executive Summary
The purpose of this memo is to request final approval to purchase (1) 2022 Ravo Street Sweeper for the Public Works Department, Streets Division. The sweeper that is being replaced is unit #222 and has met all the requirements for replacement as outlined in the vehicle replacement policy. This replacement has been approved through the 2022 budget process. This sweeper unit was planned for replacement in 2021 but due to equipment shortages we had to wait until this year. The planned purchase price for this unit in 2021 was $247,287 and the current purchase price is $276,000 for 2022. The Streets Division continued making replacement contributions and has accumulated $283,528 towards this purchase. Also, estimated resale value of the old sweeper will be $30,000, much higher than normal years. The Streets Division has completed several comparisons and demos of different sweepers and believe this machine will best meet the community’s needs, especially in the downtown area. The price for this vehicle was obtained using the Sourcewell (NJPA) awarded contract #093021-FAY.

The funding sources for the proposed expenditure of $276,000 will be:
Vehicle Replacement Fund 221-8100-481-70-40
