Explanation
The Refuse Collection Division requires eight (8) cubic yard containers with which to collect refuse from multi-family dwellings and other applications where the utilization of such containers is more efficient and less costly than utilizing 90-gallon or 300-gallon containers and/or is dictated by spatial considerations such as those found in the campus area. 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 universal term contract with Capital Resource Consultants for the purchase of eight cubic yard containers through the formal competitive bidding process in 2003 (bid #SA000447BGB). This ordinance authorizes the purchase of fifteen (15) of these eight cubic yard containers at a cost of $1,064.00 per container or a total cost of $15,960.00.
Fiscal Impact: Funds for this purchase are available within the division's General Permanent Improvement Fund. This legislation appropriates monies within that Fund and authorizes the purchase and the expenditure of the monies for this purpose. This expenditure is consistent with the 2005 Capital Improvements Budget.
Emergency action is requested to replace existing dilapidated containers in a timely manner.
