SUBJECT: Purchase of Two Elgin Pelican Street Sweepers
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with
information to consider an exception to the procurement ordinance to purchase two Elgin Pelican
three wheel hydraulic street sweepers.
RECOMMENDATION
• It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council authorize staff to execute the purchase of
two Elgin Pelican sweepers from Standard.Equipment Company in the amount of$266,208
BACKGROUND
The 2007 budget includes funds to replace two existing 1999 Elgin Pelican three wheel hydraulic
street sweepers. The current units are used daily, weather permitting, and have acquired such a
high number of hours and miles that they are prone to frequent and costly repairs. Their
reliability is to the point that both sweepers can't be depended on for day-to-day operations. The
Elgin Pelican is the sweeper of choice to use in the downtown business district and in the many
older neighborhoods where streets are narrow and congested with parking. Its short wheelbase
and three wheel, rear steering design provides a high level of maneuverability that allows it
maximize cleaning to the curb between the obstacles.
Elgin Sweeper Company has produced the Series P Pelican sweeper for many years. In 2007 it is
introducing an updated version of the Pelican, the Series NP, which introduces some aesthetic
differences and provides for greater operator comfort and visibility. A limited number of the
Series P sweepers are being produced before the assembly line switches over to the Series NP.
.Staff has pursued the purchase of the Series P sweeper because it is a more proven product and
has a much shorter delivery time.
• Staff has met with representatives from Standard Equipment Company, the local manufacturer's
representative for Elgin Sweeper Company, and received a detailed proposal (attached) for two

new model year Elgin Pelican street sweepers with several options that will facilitate sweeping
operations in our City. The entire 2007 production of the Series P Pelican is sold out, but
Standard Equipment purchased one for their stock that they are quoting to us. This unit needs
minor modifications to meet our specifications and will be available for delivery in 45 days at a
cost of$129,552. The second unit is a 2007 Series NP Pelican built to our specifications and has
a delivery estimate of 120 days at a cost of $136,656. The proposal includes the vehicle
hardware necessary to track the sweepers using Global Positioning System (GPS) technology.
This purchase of the Elgin sweeper without competitive bids will be an exception the
procurement ordinance. As in past years there are several advantages to the City in continuing to
buy Elgin Sweeper products which include the following:
1) Parts are readily available from the manufacturer and equipment downtime is greatly
reduced
2) -Our mechanics and operators are thoroughly familiar with the Elgin sweeper
equipment.
3) Any unusual problems can be addressed by prompt technical support directly from
the local Elgin factory
• 4) Both the distributor and manufacturer provide maintenance and operation classes at
the factory in Elgin annually

Equipment Replacement Fund, account number 601-4800-796.91-48, "Mobile Equipment
under project number 339952 "Streets Maintenance Vehicles . 2007 To verify the
competitiveness of the proposal, staff received documentation on recent sales of two similarly
optioned Series P Elgin Pelican Sweepers, which are also attached.
