Information

PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT

Bids were received by the Solid Waste Division for the Public Works Department on July 23, 2013 to purchase a 2014 landfill compactor. Purchasing this replacement compactor was approved by the City Council in the FY14 budget. The existing compactor will be traded in to the company providing the new compactor. The new compactor will have a 3-year warranty that is included in the total bid price.

ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED

The City Council may:
  • Approve the low bid and purchase the 2014 landfill compactor from Titan Machinery in the net amount of $642,120; or
  • Reject all bids and do not purchase the compactor.  The compactor that is being replaced is not running well and is not an option to continue using.
