TO: The Honorable mmbers of the DATE: March 30, 1987 FILE: Board of County Caimissioners TMMGH:SUBJECT: Charles P. Balczun, Street Sweeping County Administrator FROM: James W. Davis, P.E. REFERENCES: Albert VanAuken to James Public Works Di recto Davis dated 3-25-87 DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS On March 19, 1987, Commissioner Wheeler and staff met with the Vero Beach Highlands Property Owners Assoc. to discuss street sweeping, drainage, and road resurfacing issues. The Property Owners Assoc. has requested that the County sweep the Miami curb roads in the Highlands (approx. 35 miles). In the past, this work has been done by hand labor with brooms. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS Last year, the County publicly advertized for bids for street sweeping. No bids were received due to the unavailability of motorized street sweepers in this area. Recently Florida Sweeping Co., Orlando, F1., contacted the County and submitted the costs in the attached memo. Staff is of the opinion that sweeping by hand is cost prohibitive and that contracting out is the best alternative. In the future, the County should purchase a sweeper and hire a full time employee to provide this service. The yearly cost to perform this service in-house would be: Operator salary including Fringe Benefits $25,000 Operating costs (gas, etc.) 8,000 Equipmtent (annualized) 12,000 Annual Cost (minimum) $45,000 _ RECOMN MATION AND FUNDING It is recommended that the County contract with Florida Sweeping to perform the services described in Albert VanAuken's March 25, 1987 memo at a cost of $4,900. Funding to be from the Road and Bridge Division's FY 86/87 budget (fund 111-214) . TO: James W. Davis DATE: March 25, 1987 FILE: Public Works Director SUBJECT: Street Sweeper Albert L.
