Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The Division of Refuse Collection requires eight (8) cubic yard containers with which to collect refuse from multi-family dwellings and other applications where the utilization of such a container is more efficient and less costly than utilizing 90-gallon or 300-gallon containers and/or is dictated by spatial considerations.
In instances where 8 cubic yard containers will replace existing 90 and 300-gallon containers, the change-out will provide for more refuse capacity and serve to improve the cleanliness of neighborhood alleys.
The Purchasing Office established a multi-year universal term contract with Farmer's Refuse & Trucking Inc, for their purchase (FL004912), which expires 9/30/2013. This ordinance authorizes the purchase of eight cubic yard containers, replacement parts, and tools required for a total cost of $20,000.00
The division intends to purchase a like number (more or less) of these containers next two years.
Farmer's Refuse & Trucking Inc. is not debarred according to the Excluded Party Listing System of the Federal Government or prohibited from being awarded a contract according to the Auditor of State Unresolved Findings for Recovery Certified Search.
