ITEM 5: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO A
REQUEST TO AWARD A CONTRACT FOR THE PURCHASE OF
RESIDENTIAL REFUSE CONTAINERS (POLYCARTS) AND AUTHORIZE
PAYMENT FOR THE PURCHASE OF AN INITIAL ORDER OF 100 GREEN
CARTS AT $5700.
Mr Carr said that this request is made annually for the purchase of polycarts to be used in the
residential refuse collection program. Staff solicited bids for the bulk purchase of green refuse
carts for use in residential trash collection and red carts for use by yardwaste separation
customers. Two vendors submitted bids. Williams Refuse submitted the low bid, with the cost
for both carts $2.50 lower than was submitted last year. Mr Helm asked if we would have more
bidders in the specifications were changed. Current specifications require that the cart bottom
be a minimum of six inches above the ground. Most vendors supply a cart that rests directly
on the ground. Mr Carr said that more bids would probably be received if the specifications
were changed. However, the bid from Williams refuse was $5.50 lower per cart than what the
other vendor bid. Cart usage and replacement is now being tracked so that we will have a better
idea of how frequently carts needs to be replaced. Ms Barnhouse moved, seconded by Chairman
Ewing, to award a contract for the purchase of polycarts to Williams Refuse, Owasso, OK at
a cost of $57.00 per green cart and $59.00 per red cart, and to authorize payment for the
purchase of an initial order of 100 green carts in the amount of $5700.
