The Gwinnett Board of Commissioners voted last week to restore street sweeping services that were eliminated in 2009 due to budget cutbacks.

Sweeping Corporation of America Inc. was the lowest of five bidders at $97,015. The contract requires quarterly cleaning and debris removal from 400 miles of major roads, 40 miles of center turn lanes and 80 intersections.

“I’m proud we are delivering on our budgetary promise to restore street sweeping this year and that we are continuing to make pedestrian safety improvements with SPLOST funds,” said Board Chairman Charlotte Nash.
