Purpose and Recommended Action
Recommendation
This is a request for City Council to waive reading beyond the title and adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to accept a federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) grant from the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) in an amount not to exceed $253,396; contingent upon approval of a Linking Agreement for purchase of the sweeper.
Background
In September 2016, the Public Works Department submitted an application to MAG for federal CMAQ funding for a certified street sweeper for use on city streets. On December 8, 2016, MAG approved the city’s funding request in an amount not to exceed $253,396.
Analysis
The federal CMAQ grant from MAG allows the city to purchase a certified street sweeper with a 5.7% cash match, or $15,317. After submitting the application for CMAQ funding, Public Works staff from Solid Waste Management and Equipment Management analyzed sweeper specifications and selected the Schwarze M6 Avalanche to best meet the city’s needs.
Previous Related Council Action
On June 14, 2016, Council approved acceptance of a grant from Maricopa Association of Governments and authorized entering into a Linking Agreement for the purchase of a street sweeper.
On June 25, 2013, Council approved acceptance of a grant from Maricopa Association of Governments and authorized entering into a Linking Agreement for the purchase of a street sweeper for the Glendale Municipal Airport.
Community Benefit/Public Involvement
Acceptance of this grant will allow the city to purchase a new street sweeper to increase its fleet of sweepers from 4 to 5. The use of a certified street sweeper contributes to improved air quality in Maricopa County by reducing the amount of dirt and dust on roadways that have the potential of becoming airborne due to vehicular traffic and blowing wind.
Budget and Financial Impacts
Funds for the local match in the amount of $15,317 are available in the Fiscal Year 2016-17 Public Works Capital Improvement Budget; contingent upon Council approval of a Linking Agreement for purchase of the sweeper. A specific account will be established in Fund 1840, the city’s grant fund, once the grant agreement is awarded and fully executed.
