ACTION REQUESTED:
Title
Communication from the City Manager and Interim Director of Public Works with a Request to APPROVE a CONTRACT with REHRIG PACIFIC COMPANY, in an Amount Not to Exceed $36,439.90, to Purchase 702 New 95 Gallon Garbage Carts for Replacement and Inventory. [All Council Districts]
Body
BACKGROUND: As part of the 2018 Solid Waste Collection contract, the City of Peoria has taken over the management of the residential garbage carts. Currently, we are running low on inventory of the 95-Gallon City of Peoria Garbage Carts. Garbage carts are needed to replace damaged or missing carts. Public Works has been distributing on average 80-100 trash carts per month. This purchase will allow Public Works to have inventory on hand of the 95-Gallon Garbage Carts in order to provide residents with new carts if theirs are damaged or missing. These carts will come with a 10-year warranty for full replacement.
Rehrig Pacific Company is the vendor from which PDC purchased the City's residential garbage carts, so this will allow the cart designs to be consistent.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Funding will come from the refuse collection fund.
NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERNS: Citizens often call to request new or replacement carts due to theft, damage, or other circumstances. Replenishing our stock of 95-gallon carts would help ensure that City of Peoria residents have the means to properly dispose of their trash.
IMPACT IF APPROVED: Residential customers with damaged or missing trash carts will get new carts.
IMPACT IF DENIED: There will be no additional City of Peoria trash carts available for customers with damaged or missing carts. This could lead to customers improperly disposing of their trash.
ALTERNATIVES: N/A
EEO CERTIFICATION NUMBER: Rehrig's has current EEO # 03489-190930.
