Jon Ibarra Superintendent
Street Department
Purchase of one Johnson VT651 Vacuum Air Sweeper
To approve the purchase of one Johnson Vacuum Air Sweeper from Sanitary
Equipment Company Inc, Stoughton MA for a price of $274,100 pursuant to
HGAC Contract #8W04-18. Funding will be through Department: 161 Street;
Fund: Trust; Activity: CERF.
Sanitary Equipment Quote
The Street Department contacted several vendors to demonstrate sweepers for the
planned CERF replacement of street sweeper #48 in FY18. After road testing the
sweepers and talking with the operators, it was determined that a vacuum sweeper
would work best for our road condition and debris level.
Sanitary Equipment has offered a Johnson VT651 Vacuum Sweeper that comes
on a 2019 Freightliner Chassis. The sweeper comes fully equipped with warning
lights, an arrow board, and everything needed to go to work. The sweeper comes
with a 24 month 2000 hour warranty.
To be traded is old Sweeper #47 which a 2001 Johnson VT605 Sweeper with
67786 miles and 7382 hours on it. Repairs are frequent and parts availability is a
problem due to its age.
