Consider approval of the purchase of 112 two-yard dumpsters from Wastequip, for a total amount of $53,483.00, via the Sourcewell Purchasing Agreement, RFP #040621, or take other necessary action. (Mike Stewart)
BACKGROUND:
Two-yard dumpsters are trash containers used by commercial businesses in the City of Muskogee. Over the course of time, the dumpsters are damaged or aged to a point where they are no longer useful due to leaks or lack of structural integrity. The Street Department will repair dumpsters that are in fair shape. However, some cannot be repaired to a usable condition.
The City can purchase these from Sourcewell, a cooperative purchasing agreement.
It benefits the City and customers to periodically replace defective dumpsters. It provides a better public image by having a dumpster in good condition, as well as protects the stormwater system from leakage from the containers.
