The "no bid" vendors were contacted and four stated they could
not meet city specifications. One bidder, who is a manufacturer,
had their local dealer bid, which is the low bid.
This runway sweeper will replace a 1966 runway sweeper which has
become inoperable and replacement parts are no longer available.
The runway sweeper is needed immediately to ensure the taxiways
and runways are clear of debris for safe aircraft operations. We
propose to purchase a propane fueled vehicle because the City has
propane fueling capability at the Airport.
staff has evaluated the bid submitted by Edward R. Bacon Co. for
the propane sweeper and finds that it meets city specifications.
