ITEM **3.4.**
Date: January 18, 2001
Subject: Compact Floor Scrubber
In the 2001 Arena budget, I have $3,800.00 to purchase a floor scrubber under Capital
improvements. Originally I was going to purchase the B Micromatic Nilfisk Advance
Floor Scrubber however at a recent trade show I came across a machine that will better fit
the Arena's needs. This machine is the Clark L 20 which costs $5,200.00. The extra cost
of the machine will be absorbed through savings from expedient cleaning and other cuts in
the budget.
The B Micromatic Nilfisk Advance has a 17" scrubbing pad with an 8 gallon solution tank
and a 6 gallon recovery tank and is not self propelled. The Clark L20 has a scrubbing pad
of 20" and the solution and recovery tanks have a capacity of 14 gallons each. The
scrubber is self-propelled and has other features that make the machine easier to operate
than the Advance machine.
The Scrubber will be used in the lobby area, player's hallways, Open Skating Area and in
the locker rooms. The Scrubber will save time keeping these areas cleaned and will do a
better job than a mop.
If there are no objections form the Mayor or City Council I will be purchasing the Floor
Scrubber January 23, 2001. The unit is in stock and will be shipped a few days after it has
been ordered.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.
