Alderman O’Brien
Thank you Mr. Mayor. I’m in favor of this seeing this is December 27, | don’t know when the next snow is
going to come and approving this, but we are not in jeopardy of any bidding process, just to be cautious.
Mayor Donchess
We are not because it went out to bid and there were no qualified bidders, that’s my understanding of it. So we
are proposing an award to a previous contractor.
Alderman O’Brien
Thank you.

Ok and my second note was are these replacements. But now | am getting the sense that these aren’t trucks
on their own. They go with the...
Mr. Ibarra
They go with the two previously approved cab and chassis. So we bought the trucks but this comes from a
separate entity so this completes the vehicle.
Alderwoman Lu

That is correct.

Alderwoman Klee?
Alderman Klee
Thank you, Mr. Mayor. | Know Mr. Ibarra and you might not be able to answer this question. | know in like on
Lock Street, where we have a walking, they walk to school through all those areas and so on. | know that they
have tried to clean the sidewalks but those are too narrow and we have obstacles in the middle of sidewalks. In
that case, you can’t use this type of machine, it has to all be done by hand, is that correct?
