Explanation
The purpose of this legislation is to authorize the Director of Finance and Management to establish a blanket purchase order for the purchase of Woodchips for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage from an established Universal Term Contract with Edwards Landclearing Inc.
Woodchips are used as a bulking agent at the Compost Facility within the Division of Sewerage and Drainage and are a vital part of the composting process. To offset the costs of purchasing the material, the Compost Facility has established a wood grinding services contract. The contract allows the Compost Facility to purchase less material if yard waste and trees are delivered to the Compost Facility to be ground into woodchips. In 2006, the Compost Facility was able to produce more woodchips with the service contract. However there are events in which the grinding service does not produce enough material so the Compost Facility must purchase woodchips from the established Universal Term Contract. The contract number is FL005111 which expires November 30, 2013.
