SUBJECT: Purchase Of Two (2) Vacuum Sweepers Protest Letters
The specifications for the truck mounted vacuum sweepers were developed afteT almost
18 months of testing by the Right -Of -Way Management Program. Please see enclosed
memos.
F. 06/06
These specifications are needed to ensure that the street sweepers purchased will meet our
operating requirements, i.e. ease of operation and maintenance, noise levels, turning
radius, etc_ The cost may be higher up front, but will result in lower operating costs over
the operating life of the sweepers.
Sweepers that are too noisy, cannot turn around on our older residential streets, and
require a lot of manual adjustments by our operators, slows down our sweeping
operations. The noise level is especially important since we double shift our sweepers on
an 11 pm to lam shift.
Reducing overall costs and versatility is extremely important in today2s environment of
reduced budgets and the need for more efficient government service. I recommend that
the Geo Vrac bid be accepted. If you need any further information please call me at 246-
2238.

Subject: Bid SB00-033 Protest
The Engineering/Streets & Drainage Bureau conducted 18 months of extensive testing,
using several different vendors' equipment, before deciding what was needed for the City
of Orlando. The specifications were written for the easiest to operate and maintain,
quietest, street sweeper they could find. Turning radius was also a very important issue.
All prospective bidders had the same opportunity to meet these requirements.
Attached, you will find supporting documentation for the acceptance of the bid we received
from Vantage Equipment.
