Background
The adopted Public Works Department Street Operations Division budget for Fiscal Year 2022- 2023 included capital expenditures for the purchase of a new street sweeper replacing an obsolete street sweeper to meet the operational needs of the department.

Pursuant to Vernon Municipal Code Section 3.32.110(A)(5), the purchase of this vehicle is exempt from competitive bidding and competitive selection, as the purchase is through Sourcewell which offers participating agencies cooperative buying contracts. It is to the advantage of the City to procure this vehicle from TYMCO, Inc through the Sourcewell contract.
The quote provided by TYMCO, Inc. indicates a cost savings of $9,583 based of the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price.
