Mayor Donchess
| think you were talking about the catch basin cleaner, right?
Mr. Ibarra
Well that is all part of the same unit, it’s 3 different motions, I’m not sure why it is broken down exactly this way.
But this will make one complete truck.
Mayor Donchess
Oh | see.
Mr. Ibarra
So you have the plow and the controls then you have the cab and chassis.
Mayor Donchess
So this will plow as well?
Mr. Ibarra
Yes it will but more or less pump stations, it is going to stay over there in Waste Water, it is not going to be
joining my fleet doing streets.
Alderman Laws
My next question was going to be who currently is removing snow from Waste Water? Is this going to free up
one of your trucks that was previously used?
Mr. |barra
No they have their guys do their Waste Water stuff while we are out doing the streets.
Alderman Laws
Thank you.
Alderman Klee
| don’t know if you can answer this, | recently had to within a neighborhood come and ask them to come and
clean some of the catch basins. One of the issues that they had because of the vac, because it kind of sucks
up everything, they spray water in as they are sucking up, so it is getting excessive water. Their trucks kept
filling up because there was so much stuff in it. Would this, because it goes down as a claw, be less likely to
fill up the trucks and then have to keep coming back more and more, do you know?
Mr. |barra
They don’t have to water it up. So down time is minimal. They will have to go and dump at the landfill but it’s
basically a dump truck so that clam shell will just scoop and drop in the body and when they are full they will go
off load and then come back, go back to work.
