Date: February 10, 2025 Item: 10 <br />Presenter: Joe Ruthenberg, Superintendent - Parks, Facilities <br />Section: Parks and Facilities Report <br /> <br />Title: Purchase Equipment - Floor Cleaning Units <br /> <br /> <br />1.Purpose: <br />To purchase a I-Mop Lite walk behind floor scrubber with extra battery, CT50 Walk Behind <br />Scrubber, and a CT231 Driving Scrubber. <br />2.Background: <br />CT50 scrubber is a walk behind scrubber/ vacuum that can be utilized throughout the city in all of <br />the buildings and also on basketball, tennis and pickleball courts. The I-Mop Lite is a portable <br />scrubber utilized in smaller high traffic areas where a larger walk behind will not fit. The CT231 <br />Driving Scrubber is a deep cleaning scrubber that can be used on a variety of floors, uneven <br />surfaces, and can be adjusted for specific cleaning needs of the floor. It is designed for high <br />productivity and efficiency allowing larger cleaning areas to be covered, and saving on labor <br />costs. <br /> <br />3.Summary: <br />Maintaining clean and safe spaces is a top priority for our city. Enhancing the efficiency and <br />effectiveness of our cleaning operations is one of the major reasons for acquiring these pieces for <br />the city. These machines will be instrumental in maintaining the cleanliness of public facilities, <br />bathrooms, courts, indoor facilities, sidewalks, and heavily trafficked pedestrian areas. <br />The primary objective of this purchase is to improve the city’s ability to clean and maintain large <br />floor spaces efficiently. By investing in modern floor scrubbers, we aim to: <br />Enhance cleanliness and hygiene in city spaces. <br />Improve operational efficiency and reduce labor costs. <br />Extend the lifespan of flooring surfaces through proper maintenance and reduce the need for <br />costly resealing and repair. <br />Promote sustainability through water and chemical-efficient cleaning technology. <br />Lessen slip and trip fall. <br />4.Cost: <br />The city received a state contract quote for all the requested pieces from Factory Motor Parts, <br />including delivery and applicable tax. I-Mop Lite $4,249.42. CT50 Walk Behind Scrubber <br />$3,647.06, and CT231 Driving Scrubber $32,705.06. <br />Other quotes were received for similar products from Nilfisk Inc. and Tennant and were more than <br />double those received from Factory Motor Parts . We also looked into the cost of renting <br />equipment instead of purchasing it, but the logistics and cost made that not a viable option. All <br />quotes are attached. <br />AGENDA ITEM <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />47
