Approval of garbage containers
purchase - replacement
The attached resolution addresses a purchase expense of $6,380.00 for 22 two cubic yard
garbage containers. These containers are used for the commercial and multi -unit building
refuse collection operation. Periodic replacement of these containers is required due to
the corrosive effect of the elements and the refuse material stored in the containers daily.
Public Works staff repairs older containers whenever it is feasible.
In anticipation of the need to replace a number of garbage containers, funding was
included in the current departmental budget (account # 1720-6430, "Operating
Equipment "). This budgeted amount covers the purchase of twenty replacement
containers and two spares. Three price quotes were solicited from vendors, with the
lowest quotation coming from Embro Sales at $290 per container.
Based on the physical condition of the containers to be replaced, it is recommended that
the expense of $6,380 be approved by the Mayor and City Commission.
