BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
N/A
BACKGROUND:
The Department of Public Works (DPW) is responsible for providing street sweeping services to keep the city’s streets clean and presentable. In addition, street sweeping assists in eliminating potential pollutants from entering the storm sewer system. This contributes to the City’s compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) National Pollution Discharge Elimination System Program (NPDES).
The City has an in-house sweeper, but it is not adequate to provide citywide street sweeping services. Instead, it is primarily used for the downtown area and municipal parking lots, with additional sweeping on residential streets to address isolated issues, special events, and other emergency sweeping. It is more cost-effective to have an in-house unit for specialty work and use an outside vendor to provide regular scheduled street sweeping of all roadways.
In February 2026, DPW issued Bid 26-044, Street Sweeping Services, to hire a vendor to provide high-quality street sweeping services for all types of designated roadway areas. Under this contract, all arterial and residential streets will be cleaned twice a year. In addition to the standard sweepings, there are special request sweepings for parades, festivals, special events and emergencies at pre-determined hourly rates if needed. The work consists of satisfactory removal of all sand, stone, debris, refuse, dirt and other materials which may be accumulated on the entire width of roadway areas.
