ACTION REQUESTED:
Consider recommending approval of the FY26 Solid Waste Purchasing Authorization Request. (Chaparro)
BACKGROUND:
Initiated by: Abraham Chaparro
This request covers proposed purchasing authorizations for Solid Waste. The purchasing authorization is a “not to exceed” number for each vendor. This will allow us to streamline the purchasing process and make purchases in a more timely manner. If we get close to the “not to exceed” amount, a change order will come back to the Committee/City Council for approval. The Finance Officer has approved this concept and will continue to be the check and balance with all purchase orders issued under this authorization.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATION:
Total request for authorization is $771,362.00. This is based on purchases made last 2 fiscal years and anticipated purchases this fiscal year. Please see attached list for breakdown by vendor. All of these purchases will still receive quotes and are purchased off a statewide price agreement.
