Staff recommends the City Council approve the annual purchase of commercial and roll-off containers from WasteQuip Manufacturing Company LLC in an amount not to exceed $500,000.


 

The Public Works Solid Waste Division delivers and maintains commercial and roll-off containers for commercial use within city limits. Containers are needed for new services and to replace containers that are damaged and unable to be repaired.  In FY23 Solid Waste spent roughly $475,000 on commercial and roll-off containers. Staff is recommending procurement of the containers using the cooperative purchasing agreement (Sourcewell).  It is expected that this expenditure will continue yearly as the city continues to grow and more commercial multifamily housing comes on-line. 

City Council may:

• Approve the contract for the purchase of commercial and roll-off containers using a cooperative purchasing agreement in an amount not to exceed $500,000 or,
• Not approve the contract.  If not approved, new customers cannot be served and damaged dumpsters cannot be replaced.

Solid waste offers a variety of dumpster sizes.  Some are more popular than others.  Below are prices per dumpster for dumpsters that are typically ordered.  
 

Container Type	FY23	FY24
4-Yard Front Load Container	$905.00	$870.00
6-Yard Front Load Container	$1,162.00	$1,119.00
8-Yard Front Load Container	$1,389.00	$1,332.00

Containers are available cost-effectively through the cooperative purchasing agreement, Sourcewell.  The containers are in the FY24 Solid Waste operation and maintenance budget.  There is sufficient budget for this purchase.
