A Resolution authorizing the Mayor to purchase a "GapVax Combination Jet/Vacuum Machine" truck and equipment, at a final cost of $478,115.00 from MTech, all through the State Purchase Program; appropriating funds for said purchase; and further authorizing the Mayor to execute all documents necessary to effectuate such purchase, and declaring an emergency. Director Glauner explained this equipment is used to clean sewers and blockages and is one of the main pieces of equipment used by the plant. The equipment can cover the length of two manholes, instead of one. It permits for cleaning and clearing blockages since it has two motors that can clear blockages while at the same time acting as a pump. Additionally, it can perform hydro - excavating for sewer repairs near utility lines. This is essentially removing the need for a backhoe, which can damage the utility lines while digging. By purchasing it now, there is a $6,000 savings for the unit. The committee voted 3-0 to recommend to Council. AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Dan Dufala 4466 West Ranchview Avenue 3
