Agenda Item Summary:
The City of Rapid City's Solid Waste Division seeks approval for the purchase of a new Tennant M800 LP powered sweeper, to be used daily primarily inside the recycling facility (MRF) and the citizens' campus at Solid Waste. Operating on liquid propane (LP), this model significantly reduces emissions compared to the outdated 1987 Tennant 275, which has been used and is set to be surplused after exceeding its useful lifespan. Replacing this aging equipment aligns with the City's commitment to sustainability and cleaner operations. With a larger hopper capacity, the M800 minimizes downtime from frequent emptying, improving productivity. By utilizing the GSA contract, the City secures the best available pricing, maximizing cost efficiency assocaited with purchasing. This investment ensures reliable equipment for the Solid Waste work group while reinforcing the City's sustainability goals. It reflects the City's commitment to efficiency, fiscal responsibility, and environmental stewardship, safeguarding uninterrupted service and long-term operational success for the Solid Waste work group.
