Regular Meeting City Manager Department
The Public Works requests authorization to piggyback off of Florida Sheriffs Contract 15-
13 -0904 Spec #61 to purchase a trailer mounted brush chipper from Vermeer Southeast
Sales & Service of Orlando at a cost of $73,340.00.
SYNOPSIS:
This brush chipper is used on a daily basis by the tree crew and it will replace a similar
brush chipper that was purchased in 1996. The Florida Sheriffs Association bid ( #15 -13-
0904) includes brush chippers and Vermeer Southeast Sales and Service of Orlando is the
approved vendor for the Vermeer BC1800XL Brush Chipper. The bid price is $73,340.00.
CONSIDERATIONS:
The brush chipper is used extensively by the tree crew to chip into mulch any tree
trimmings and debris generated by the tree crew. It can handle trunks up to 19" in
diameter. The current similar model Vermeer brush chipper was purchased in 1996 and it is
becoming more prone to breakdowns. It will be refurbished and used as a back up. The
existing smaller backup was purchased in 1991 and a request to surplus form will be
processed so it can be sent to auction.
City staff have found that the Vermeer products are reliable and consistent with the needs of
the crew. Service for Vermeer brush chippers is done in Orlando. The bid quote is attached
which also contains a photo of the equipment.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The brush chipper is budgeted in the Transportation Improvement Fund at a cost of
