Also available is a similar checklist that assists in developing an accurate cost per hour for street sweeping.
Something you should clarify for this type of analysis is the definition of a 'curb mile.' Typically, this term includes operation down one side of the street. However, be sure you know what the required sweeping width is, as well, since that determines how many passes of a particular sweeper will be needed. Additionally, some agencies include intersections in curb mile analysis, while others do not want intersections swept. This may sound like a negligible difference, however it will make a significant cost change in the long term.
