Body
SUMMARY:
The City of Clearwater’s Solid Waste/Recycling Department provides collection service for putrescible garbage, construction and demolition debris, and recyclables from commercial customers. Large amounts of debris may be transported in roll-off containers and compactors by city collection vehicles to state-permitted disposal facilities.
The standardization of Wastequip compactors expedites repairs and maintenance, eliminates excessive equipment downtime, as well as reduces the inventory volume of parts and supplies to be maintained (pursuant to Section 21: Standardization, of the City's Purchasing Manual).
Authorization is requested to piggyback off of Sourcewell RFP #040621, Bulk Solid Waste and Recycling Equipment which will allow Solid Waste/Recycling to purchase new equipment, replacement equipment, and repair parts. Sourcewell RFP #040621 offers a one (1), one-year renewal option to be used at the City’s discretion.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
Funds are available in capital improvement project 96444, Commercial Container Acquisition, to fund this purchase order.
