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. This legislation authorizes the Director of Finance and Management to establish purchase orders 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 $1,559,250.00
Rotonic's CC# is 362467474, expiring 2/13/09.
The total expenditure authorized within this ordinance is $1,000,000.13.
Fiscal Impact: The Refuse Collection Division budgeted $4,191,087.00 in the 2006 Capital Improvements Budget for refuse collection vehicles and containers. All but $13,735.13 of these funds are either expended or encumbered. This expense can be accommodated within the 2004 Voted Refuse Collection Fund, mechanized collection project, by authorizing the expenditure of the remaining funds from the 2006 Bond Sale ($13,735.13) and by appropriating and transferring $986,265.00 within the Special Income Tax Fund. This funding method is a temporary measure and this amount will be restored to the Special Income Tax Fund subsequent to the next note/bond sale for refuse collection equipment.
Emergency action is requested to expedite the receipt of these containers/container parts to continue uninterrupted refuse collection service to residents.
