FROM: J. MICHAEL WALFORD, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
DATE: May 24, 1994
SUBJECT: Authorize Issuance of Purchase Order to J. V. Sweeping, Inc. for Sweeping Service for
the 1994 Chip Seal Program
Project No.: 0672-6U2180, -6U2181, -6U2182
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) &BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. Recommended Action:
Authorize the issuance of a purchase order in the amount of $60,760 to J. V. Sweeping, Inc. of
Campbell, CA for sweeping services required for the 1994 chip seal program.
II. Financial Impact:
Road funds in the amount of $60,760 are available for this planned activity.
III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
The placement of rock chip seal to resurface County roads is a long established routine
maintenance practice. In order to assure complete coverage of asphalt applied to the old road
surface, excess rock chips are distributed and must be removed by sweeping. It is not
economical for the Public Works Department to own and operate the number of sweepers
necessary to support the chip seal program. Sweeping service has historically been procured
by purchase order.

The General Services Department's Purchasing Division solicited bids for the sweeping service
from a number of vendors. Bids were received from the following vendors in addition to the low
bidder, J. V. Sweeping, Inc.
Don & Mike's Sweeping $ 82,240.
Universal Sweeping $ 87,010.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
The safety of the travelling public requires the timely removal of excess rock chips from newly
sealed roads. The County's chip seal program cannot proceed effectively without a vendor
furnished sweeping service. .
