RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council approve the purchase of commercial solid waste containers from Wastequip in the amount not to exceed $300,000.
BACKGROUND (Consistency with Adopted Plans and Policies, if applicable)
The Solid Waste Division purchases commercial containers annually for new customers as well as replacements for damaged containers. Staff compared prices from suppliers using the Sourcewell Cooperative agreement. Wastequip has the lowest price for commercial containers that meets our specifications. The costs for each container are below:
| 4 Cubic Yard Standard Duty Slant Front Load Container | $ 697.00 |
| 6 Cubic Yard Standard Duty Slant Front Load Container | $ 880.00 |
| 6 Cubic Yard Standard Duty Flat Front Load Container | $ 932.00 |
| 8 Cubic Yard Standard Duty Slant Front Load Container | $ 1,040.00 |
| 8 Cubic Yard Standard Duty Flat Front Load Container | $ 1,062.00 |
| 4 Cubic Yard Standard Duty Slant Rear Load Container | $ 697.00 |
| 2 Cubic Yard Standard Duty Slant Rear Load Container | $ 597.00 |
| 6 Cubic Yard Standard Duty Flat Rear Load Container | $ 697.00 |
| 3 Cubic Yard Standard Duty Flat Rear Load Container | $ 597.00 |
| 10 Cubic Yard Standard Duty Roll Off Container | $ 5,639.50 |
| 20 Cubic Yard Standard Duty Rectangular Roll Off Container | $ 5,911.00 |
| 30 Cubic Yard Standard Duty Rectangular Roll Off Container | $ 6,917.00 |
| 40 Cubic Yard Standard Duty Rectangular Roll Off Container | $ 7,869.00 |
ALTERNATIVES
City Council may:
- Approve; or,
- Not approve. If not approved, there will not be containers available for new customers or to replace broken or damaged containers.
FISCAL EFFECTS
The FY26 budget has $880,000 available for containers. City Council approved the purchase of residential containers in an amount not to exceed $500,000 on November 24, 2025, so there is $80,000 remaining after the approval of this purchase. While the exact number of containers needed for FY26 is not known at this time, staff is asking for approval to purchase containers from Wastequip in an amount not to exceed $300,000. There is sufficient funding to purchase these containers. Remaining funds will be used to purchase additional containers if the need arises.
