Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The Department of Public Service, Division of Refuse Collection, utilizes Toter 96-gallon containers in its mechanized collection system for residential trash collection. The Division requires replacement parts for containers that are not covered by warranties. This legislation authorizes the Director of Finance and Management to establish a purchase order for the Division of Refuse Collection with Toter, Incorporated, for 96-gallon container replacement parts.
Toter was the contracted supplier of these containers and parts through a Universal Term Contract (UTC) established by the City's Purchasing Office. That contract expired and a bid for 96-gallon containers and replacement parts was conducted through the City's Purchasing Office. The new contract was awarded to another supplier. The Division of Refuse Collection has over 190,000 Toter 96-gallon containers which will require replacement parts and Toter parts are not interchangeable with the new supplier's parts. This Ordinance is contingent upon the passage of Department of Finance and Management Ordinance #2405-2013 to establish a Universal Term Contract for Toter 96-gallon replacement parts. The total expenditure authorized with this ordinance is $100,000.00.
2. CONTRACT COMPLIANCE
The Toter, Incorporated, contract compliance number is 561362422 and expires 7-1-15.
3. FISCAL IMPACT
Funding is available within the Refuse G.O. Bonds Fund, #703, for project 520001-100001 (96 Gallon Containers) in an amount sufficient to fund this purchase. This purchase is contingent upon the passage of Ordinance #2405-2013 to establish a UTC contract with Toter for the purchase of replacement parts.
