Explanation
The Refuse Collection Division utilizes 300-gallon containers in its mechanized collection system. These containers are used for replacement, fill-in purposes, and special events. The Division also requires replacement parts for containers that are not covered by warranties.
To accomplish this, the Division will expend the remaining cash in Refuse Collection capital fund No. 703, project 520001 ($83,225.00) and transfer $262,000.00 within the Refuse Collection capital fund, Fund No. 703 from project 520004 to 520001. The unencumbered cash balance in project 520004 is a result of a delay in this project. It is anticipated that project 520004 will resume in 2009. At that time, the Division will utilize future unencumbered cash or request SIT certification for this project.
This legislation amends the 2008 CIB, authorizes the City Auditor to transfer funds within the Refuse Collection capital fund between various projects, and authorizes the Director of Finance and Management to establish a purchase order for the purchase of 300-gallon refuse containers and container parts for the Refuse Collection Division per the terms and conditions of existing citywide contracts as follows:
Rotonics Manufacturing, Incorporated - Contract #FL003355, expiring 12/05/09, total estimated annual expenditure of $1,200,000.00.
The Division anticipates spending $1,200,000.00 in 2008 on 300-gallon containers and container parts. At this time, $345,225.00 in cash is available. The Division will seek SIT Certification for the remaining $854,775.00 when that option is available in 2008.
Rotonic's CC# is 362467474, expiring 2/13/09.
Fiscal Impact: The Refuse Collection Division budgeted $7,781,226.00 in the 2008 Capital Improvements Budget for refuse collection vehicles and containers. This ordinance authorizes the transfer of $262,000.00 from project 520004 to project 520001 and an expenditure of $345,225.00 for 300-gallon containers and container p...
