BACKGROUND
This item is a fleet addition for the Solid Waste Departments mining operations. This equipment will be used to haul sorted materials to various locations. It has a one hundred (100) yard capacity which allows it to haul a large amount of materials and also a hydraulically operated floor for easy unloading of that material.
The City of Denton is standardizing to the East Manufacturing Refuse Trailer because it is a custom specification that is unique to our operation and accommodates the tarping system necessary to contain the municipal solid waste materials (Exhibit 2). Due to the Fleet department's standardization to East Manufacturing Refuse Trailers, these trailers will be purchased as single source and in accordance with Chapter 252.022 of the Texas Local Government Code, such purchases are exempt from the requirement of competitive bidding.
