RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute an increase to Purchase Order #23498 with Contract Sweeping Service on behalf of the Department of Public Works, in the amount of $146,985.00 for street sweeping required for the 2009 Chip Seal Program. This is the first year of a two year extension of the purchase order.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost $146,985.00 for the 2009 Chip Seal Program is budgeted for FY 2009/2010.

BACKGROUND:

The placement of rock chip seal to resurface County roads is a long established preventative maintenance practice. In order to assure complete coverage of asphalt applied to the old road surface, excess rock chips are distributed and must be removed by sweeping. It is not economical for th Public Works Department to own and operate the number of sweepers necessary to support the Chip Seal Program. Sweeping service has historically been procured by purchase order. This is the first year of a two year extension of the purchase order.
