It was determined that emergency procurement is required to ensure sweeping procedures could continue, while town staff work with the insurance company of the driver of the vehicle that hit the sweeper to receive restitution for the cost of the repairs and rental.
Staff entered into a rental agreement with Intermountain Sweeper Co. The agreement was entered into on August 15, 2016, for a rental sweeper, cost for the rental unit is $15,000 per month, for a total of $60,000.
