The plastic cart collection system has proven to be successful and cost- effective by providing a uniform container that is sturdy, easily identifiable and is compatible with the one -man per route side - loading refuse collection vehicle system. Through the bid process, the city has been able to obtain a consistent price per cart unit and maintain a supply of carts for ' replacement needs and to supply new customers. BID ANALYSIS• 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. The specifications (see attachment) requested a unit price bid for each color of 90- gallon cart. In FY 97 -98 a total of 600 green and 3 50 red carts were purchased. The carts will be ordered in a minimum of fifty (50) unit quantities. The bid price per cart and the price of replacement parts is guaranteed for any orders placed until June 30, 1999. The proposed contract guarantees a fixed price for FY 98 -99 regardless of the number of carts ordered. Therefore, staff will not request Trustee approval for the purchase of carts again until next fiscal year. Payment for a bulk purchase must be approved by the Trustees. F Following publication of the notice to bid and mailing of the bid packet to prospective bidders, two bids and four "No Bid" responses were received by the bid date of July 1, 1998. The following bids were received: Im Page 2 Residential Refuse Collection Containers BIDDER MANUFACTURER GREEN CART BID RED CART BID Williams Refuse Equipment (Owasso, Ameri-Kart $57.00 $59.00 Ok) George & George Safety and Glove Otto Industries $57.00 $57.00 (Tulsa, OK) Water Products of Oklahoma (Owasso, No Bid No Bid OK) Roto Industries No Bid No Bid (Anaheim, CA) Schaefer System International (Charlotte, No Bid No Bid NC) Otto Industries No Bid No Bid (Charlotte, NC) BID INFORMATION: Williams Refuse Equipment Co., Inc. and George and George Safety and Glove submitted competitive bids, both of which met the required specifications. The Williams Refuse Equipment bid is based on the Ameri-Kart 2000 container, which is presently being used in the Owasso collection system. The bid submitted by George and George is based on the Multi- System Design (MSD) container manufactured by Otto Industries, Inc. The bids submitted by each vendor for the green container were $57.00 per cart. The bids submitted for the red containers had a $2.00 variance between the two vendors. The apparent low bid was received from George and George for the Otto MSD container. The Otto container has not been used in the Owasso collection system; therefore, staff desired to evaluate and compare each cart type bid. I � t Page 3 Residential Refuse Collection Containers i REFUSE CONTAINER/COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS ' The City of Owasso has utilized the Ameri-Kart 2000 (polycart) as the primary collection container since 1988. The polycart has proven to be a reliable and efficient alternative for the refuse and yardwaste collection programs. The MSD cart system utilized by Otto is presently used as the primary collection container for residential refuse by numerous municipalities and private haulers throughout the Northwest and Midwest regions of the United States. The MSD cart is injection molded which creates uniform structural thickness and strength, but the added thickness increases the carts weight. The MSD cart weighs approximately ten pounds more than the polycart. A test program of the Otto carts was developed to assess the ability to collect the carts and determine customer satisfaction. Several test carts were placed at residences within the German Acres Trailer Park in late August. Each residence was supplied a customer satisfaction questionnaire. Fifty percent of the customers that returned surveys indicated that the increased weight of the cart created handling ' problems. The overall structural strength of the Ameri -Kart 2000 (polycart) has been adequate. However, collection personnel have observed that the cart body will eventually split where the lift bar is attached to the cart body. To solve this problem, the installation of interior metal reinforcement plates at all stress points were included in the design specifications. The bid submitted by Williams Refuse Equipment includes polycarts that meet the reinforcement specification. The MSD carts lifting detail is designed based on the industries standard for cart lifting devices. The ' top and bottom lift bars, which are machined into the steel mold in the manufacturing process, are spaced 15 inches apart. The Ameri-Kart 2000 (polycart) lift detail is designed for specific designed cart lifting devices. The bottom and top lift bar on the polycart are spaced 28 inches apart. The cart ' lifting devices presently attached to all of the city collection vehicles are compatible with the polycart 28 inch bar spacing. Each of the city collection vehicles lift assemblies would need to be modified to accommodate both the MSD and polycart system. In the early stages of the cart evaluation process, Otto Industries, Inc., verbally proposed to make the necessary permanent modifications to all five of the city collection vehicles following award of r contract. In August 1998, staff requested a written copy of the proposal. Throughout the month of September, a total of three additional requests were made concerning the equipment modifications. M 1 Page 4 Residential Refuse Collection Containers A draft proposal was eventually received on September 25th from Otto Industries, which was contrary to a previous verbal agreement stated at a July meeting with Otto representatives. The document did not include commitment to financial responsibility for all modifications. Both Otto and Ameri-Kart warrant their containers to be free from defects in material or workmanship from the date of delivery for a period of ten (10) years on a non - prorated basis. As a result of our long -term experience in using the Ameri -Kart polycart, results of the test program and need to continue to provide cart lifter modifications to accommodate another cart system, staff desires to continue to use the Ameri-Kart. Each of the carts bid are viable options for use in the present collection system. The Otto container, however, poses operational challenges that will require additional analysis prior to a recommendation as an alternative cart system. The Ameri-Kart 2000 ( polycart) is a container that has proven to be a reliable and efficient system meeting the present needs, of the City of Owasso. FUNDING SOURCE: I The FY 98 -99 Public Works Department Refuse Collection Operating Supplies budget (line item 61- 541 -5220) includes sufficient funds to purchase the needed refuse containers. ■ RECOMMENDATION: ' Staff recommends Trustee approval to award the residential refuse collection container (polycart) contract to Williams Refuse Equipment Co., Inc., Owasso, Oklahoma for a period through June 30, 1999 to supply residential refuse containers consistent with bid specifications at a cost of $57.00 per green cart and $59.00 per red cart.
