Explanation

The Refuse Collection Division utilizes 96 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 Director of Finance and Management to establish purchase orders for the purchase of 96 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 #FL003356 expiring December 31, 2009 (total $600,000.00)

Quantity and item purchased / extended cost
10,700 96-gallon containers / $523,016.00
[lot] miscellaneous parts (lids, wheel sets, fasteners, etcetera) / $76,984.00

The total expenditure authorized within this ordinance is $600,000.00.

Toter, Incorporated's contract compliance number is 56-1362422 and expires August 10, 2009.


Fiscal Impact: The Refuse Collection Division budgeted $4,513,000.00 in the 2007 Capital Improvements Budget for refuse collection vehicles and containers. This ordinance authorizes an expenditure of $600,000.00 for 10,700 96 gallon containers and miscellaneous parts.

All funds from the 2006 Bond Sale have been either expended or encumbered. This expense can be accommodated within the 2004 Voted Refuse Collection Fund, mechanized collection project, by appropriating and transferring $600,000.00 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.
