Explanation
The Refuse Collection Division utilizes 90-gallon containers in its mechanized collection system. These containers are distributed to new residences and are also used for replacement and in-fill purposes. The division requires replacement container lids for containers that are not covered by warranties. This legislation authorizes the Finance Director to establish a purchase order for the purchase of 1,989 90-gallon container lids for the Refuse Collection Division per the terms and conditions of an existing citywide contract with Toter, Incorporated, contract compliance #56-1362422, expiring February 12, 2004. The container lids cost $15.00 each. The total expenditure authorized within this ordinance is $29,835.00.
This ordinance transfers $9,916.37 between projects ($19,918.63 currently resides in the correct project and need not be transferred) and appropriates $29,835.00 within the division's General Permanent Improvement Fund for this purpose. The division spent $330,450.00 in 2003 for refuse collection containers and container parts.
Emergency action is requested in order to expedite the receipt of these lids and to continue uninterrupted refuse collection container service.
