About this file

This is a Technical Specifications document for the City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement's request for quotes to furnish and deliver a completely built and assembled large vacuum sweeper. The specifications detail a dual broom vacuum sweeper with a 16 cubic yard capacity, minimum 26-foot length, and sweep path between 96 to 154 inches, mounted on a rear tandem axle chassis. The equipment must include an ergonomically designed cab with tinted safety glass, a minimum 200 HP four-cylinder or environmentally friendly engine, and an all-wheel drive option with a maximum 66,000 lbs GVWR. Key operational components include a rectangular vacuum nozzle with at least 48 inches width and 475 square inches of inlet area, minimum 36-inch diameter side brooms with variable speeds up to 120 RPM, a 35-inch fan wheel, and an on-board 350-gallon water system for dust suppression.

The sweeper must be equipped with advanced safety and control features including active brake assist, backup alert system, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and side guard assist. The hydraulic system requires a minimum 225 HP motor with closed loop variable speed capability, and propel drive must achieve travel speeds controlled to a maximum of 12 MPH. All debris hopper "wetted" parts must be constructed from stainless 304 steel or Cor-Ten ASTM A588 material, with Line-X High Performance X350 interior coating at minimum 125 mil thickness. The manufacturer must provide a minimum two-year warranty from the in-service date covering all defective parts at no cost to the city, with three years of chassis warranty from the manufacturer. Additionally, the vendor must supply three sets of operating and diagnostic manuals with unlimited software licensing, provide on-site equipment training, and complete all preventive maintenance on-site.
