CC-00211584 – Road Rake Model 200T Roadway Litter Collector MAY 14, 2026
PURPOSE OF MEMORANDUM To seek approval from the Finance & Administration Committee to present Contract No. CC-00211584, Road Rake Model 200T Roadway Litter Collector, to the full MDTA Board at its next scheduled meeting. SUMMARY This contract is for the provision of three (3) Road Rake Roadway Litter Collection Machines. They will be used in the maintenance of MDTA roadways to remove debris and other road hazards, such as wood, mufflers, retreads, animal carcasses and other large debris. These Road Rake machines are unique in that they can safely operate at low speeds while maintaining traffic flow and have a large-capacity hopper with a hydraulic dumping mechanism. These features increase efficiency by enabling longer collection runs and reducing the frequency of returns to debris disposal locations. This procurement is being pursued as a Sole Source (SS) procurement due to the specialized design and operational capabilities of the Road Rake equipment, which are not readily available from other manufacturers. The equipment’s ability to collect large roadway debris while minimizing lane closures and worker exposure to live traffic is critical to maintaining safe working conditions for personnel and the traveling public. The estimated value of this one-time purchase contract is $280,836.00. As this contract falls under MDTA’s delegated authority, the award of this contract will be pending approval at the next available full MDTA Board scheduled meeting. RECOMMENDATION(S) The approval of the Finance & Administration Committee to present Contract No. CC-00211584, Road Rake Model 200T Roadway Litter Collector, to the full MDTA Board at its next scheduled meeting
