COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – The Coldwater City Council approved a nearly $254,000 bid Monday night so that the Department of Municipal Services can purchase a new vacuum street sweeper.
DMS Superintendent Dave Sattler said Schwarze Industries of Huntsville, Alabama had the lowest of three bids submitted.
City Manager Keith Baker said each of the sweepers were tested and demonstrated.
He added that $200,000 of the purchase price would be allocated from the City’s Refuse Fund. The rest of the funds would be allocated from the City’s General Fund.
There is an estimated $15,000 in residual value for the 2008 sweeper being replaced.
