Title
Authorizing the expenditure of $186,000 from the Expendable Demolition Trust Fund for the purchase of one (1) Volvo ECR145 Crawler Excavator, one (1) Werk-Brau 36” Hydra-Clamp Bucket, and one (1) Eager Beaver Tag Trailer for the Department of Public Service, Division of Streets, Bridges & Harbor; authorizing the Mayor to enter into the necessary contracts; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Division of Streets, Bridges & Harbor demolished 467 structures in 2017 and has a goal of completing 500 for 2018. Demolitions in 2017 were accomplished by utilizing two (2) Volvo EC220E Excavators outfitted with the proper protection for this type of work. These excavators have been more reliable than past excavator brands that have been used in fire or standard housing demolitions.
The two (2) current excavators are medium-sized machines by industry standards. The proposed excavator is smaller in size, which will allow crews to perform teardowns in a safer, more efficient manner for structures on smaller lots and/or in constricted locations. Paired with the smaller Tag Trailer, this machine will be able to be transported by a smaller single-axle dump truck, allowing safer transport into smaller neighborhoods with tighter streets. Additionally, crews will be able to get the equipment closer to the demolition project, ultimately decreasing travel time on the street or alleyway required for the excavator. This demolition equipment will be an addition to the current equipment.
