SUMMARY:
On August 17, 2016, City Council approved a purchase agreement in the amount of $175,000 with Wastequip LLC, who was chosen through a competitive pricing agreement with the Nation Joint Powers Association contract 060612-WQI. The Council’s approval was based on staff’s recommendation that $175,000 would be sufficient for the 12-month period.
The City has sold more accounts than anticipated with the influx of businesses and hotels throughout the city. Because of this, staff is requesting an additional $50,000.00 for the current annual term, as well as increasing the two, one-year renewal terms by the same amount.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
A first quarter budget amendment will provide a transfer of $50,000 of Solid Waste revenues to capital improvement project 315-96444, Solid Waste Commercial Container Acquisition to fund this contract. Sufficient revenues are budgeted in the fiscal year 2016/17 Solid Waste operating budget to fund this increase.
