SUBJE
CT: Purchase of Replacement & Surplus of Asset #4313 Tymco Street Sweeper 
The Pu
blic Works Department is requesting Council approval for purchase of a replacement 
street sweeper for the Street Cleaning Department. The sweeper is currently on a 5-year useful-
life cycle. Asset #4313, a Tymco sweeper, was purchased in February 2016 for $196,669.00. Staff 
continued to use the vehicle beyond the anticipated end -of-useful-life as it has continued to 
perform acceptably, and staff is comfortable with operation of the vehicle. 
The De
partment recommends replacement via purchase of  a demo Schwarze A7 Tornado 
sweeper for $239,284.00. This price includes delivery of the equipment to the Public Works 
facility. This vehicle is being purchased through TN Statewide Contract (SWC) 225  from CMI 
Equipment Sales, Inc. in Goodlettsville, TN. The unit being purchase is a demo with approximately 
3,000 road miles and has been used exclusively by agencies to demo the sweeper platform. 
Purchase of this demo unit in lieu of a new unit means immediate inclusion to the fleet in addition 
to a cost savings of approximately $40,000 vs a new unit. The unit will have a full manufacturer’s 
warranty after purchase, the same as if it was new.  
After
 receipt of the  sweeper, inspection, and addition to the City’s insurance coverage , asset 
#4313 is to be listed as surplus and sold on GovDeals.
