Explanation

Background: The Refuse Collection Division utilizes 90 and 300-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 also requires replacement parts for containers that are not covered by warranties. This legislation authorizes the Finance Director to establish purchase orders for the purchase of 90 and 300-gallon refuse containers and container parts for the Refuse Collection Division per the terms and conditions of existing citywide contracts as follows:

Toter, Incorporated (Contract #FL001039 Expiring February 12, 2005) (Total $241,307.05)
Quantity/ Item Purchased / Extended Cost
6,005 90-gallon Containers / $230,652.05
500 90-gallon Container Lids / $7,500.00
[lot] Miscellaneous Parts (wheel sets, fasteners, etcetera) / $3,155.00

Rotonics Manufacturing, Incorporated (Contract #FL001040 Expiring February 27, 2005) (Total $241,500.00)
Quantity/ Item purchased/ Extended Cost
1,250 300-gallon containers / $220,000.00
250 300-gallon container lids / $21,500.00

The total expenditure authorized within this ordinance is $482,807.05.

Toter, Incorporated's contract compliance number is 56-1362422 and expires January 16, 2007. Rotonics Manufacturing, Incorporated's contract compliance number is 36-2467474 and expires November 3, 2006.
Fiscal Impact: The Refuse Collection Division budgeted $10 million in the 2004 Capital Improvement Budget for refuse collection vehicles and containers. Approximately $4.7 million was new money from the July bond sale (the remaining bond proceeds repaid the Special Income Tax fund for previous collection vehicle and container purchases).
The division spent $832,560.00 in 2000, $241,705.23 in 2001, $1,341,355.20 in 2002, $330,485.00 in 2003 and $615,287.00 in 2004 (year-to-date) for refuse collection containers/container parts excluding this ordinance and pending Ordinance 1441...
