Agenda Items
1. A Resolution authorizing the purchase of two TYMCO Model 600 Regenerative Air Sweepers. Dave
Mallum, Fleet Services Manager, indicated that funds are budgeted to replace two street sweepers; one was
budgeted in 2016, but was deferred to 2017. The sweepers in the City’s current fleet have exceeded their
reliable and useful life. The City has entered into a contract for cooperative purchasing with HoustonGalveston
Area Council (H-GAC) and specifications were sent to them for competitive bids. TYMCO Inc.,
submitted a quote in the amount of $434,940.00 to replace both units. The quotes meet all the specifications
and include trade in offers for the sweepers currently in the City’s fleet. Staff is also seeking approval to
dispose of the old units by the method most advantageous to the City by accepting the trade offers or selling
them as surplus. A motion was made by Alderman Parker to approve. Seconded by Alderman Turner.
Motion passed unanimously.
2. A Resolution authorizing the purchase of a 2017 Ford E-450 with V10 Gas Engine Cab and Chassis
with Ambulance Remount pursuant to the terms of the Remount Quote from Sentinel Emergency
Solutions for the amount of $116,616.00. Dave Mallum, Fleet Services Manager, stated that the cab and
chassis for Ambulance #161 has exceeded its useful life and is budgeted for a body remount in 2017. The
City has had success in past years by remounting ambulance bodies on a new cab and chassis and returning
those units to frontline service. The savings from remounting a modular body instead of purchasing a
complete unit can be nearly $60,000.00. Fleet Services has contacted Life Line Ambulances, the original
manufacturer of the unit, and received a written quote of $116,616.00 from their local dealer, Sentinel
Emergency Solutions, for a remount of the existing ambulance body on a new 2017 Ford E-450 V10 Gas
Engine cab and chassis. Said quote includes the installation of the Stryker power cot lift system. A motion
was made by Alderman Parker to approve. Seconded by Alderman Zelnio. Motion passed unanimously.
3. A Resolution authorizing the Mayor and Police Chief to execute an Equitable Sharing Agreement and
Certification between the Federal Government and the Moline Police Department, setting forth the
requirements for participation in the Equitable Sharing Program and certifying all receipts and
expenditures of federal forfeiture funds, property and interest during the last fiscal year. Kim
Hankins, Chief of Police/Public Safety Director, indicated that the Federal Government requires that the
Police Department annually enter into a formal agreement and provide certification of receipts and
expenditures of federal forfeiture funds and property. A motion was made by Alderman Parker to approve.
Seconded by Alderman Wendt. Motion passed unanimously.
4. A Resolution declaring the following Article 36 seized and forfeited vehicle as surplus property: 1997
Buick LeSabre, VIN# 1G4HR52KXVH545325. Kim Hankins, Chief of Police/Public Safety Director,
indicated that Illinois State statute provides that law enforcement agencies may seize vehicles used during
the attempt or commission of specific crimes and subsequently initiate forfeiture proceedings on those
vehicles. The above vehicle has been forfeited to the Police Department, and City staff is requesting that it
be declared as surplus property and disposed of by the Chief of Police/Public Safety Director through the
legal disposal process that is most advantageous to the City, whether sealed bid, auction, negotiation, or
otherwise. A motion was made by Alderman Parker to approve. Seconded by Alderman Turner. Motion
passed unanimously.
The meeting adjourned at 6:42 p.m.
