SUBJECT
Title
Consider adoption of an ordinance accepting competitive proposals and awarding a contract for the purchase of refuse and recycling containers for the City of Denton Solid Waste Department; providing for the expenditure of funds therefor; and providing an effective date (RFP 6379-awarded to Roll-Offs USA, Inc. in the three (3) year not-to-exceed amount of $1,950,000). The Public Utilities Board recommends approval (6-0).
Body
RFP INFORMATION
The Solid Waste Department purchases commercial containers to service existing and future commercial and industrial business operations planned within the City's service area. Current commercial container inventories are low, therefore additional containers are needed in order for the Solid Waste Department to provide service to future commercial customers as it is requested.
The additional commercial containers are needed for smaller type developments, as well as for several larger commercial projects which are planned for completion in the near future. A few of the major commercial developments which are planned include:
Medical Business Development (Office & Medical)
Continued Expansion of Razor Ranch (Retail)
Hotel and Convention Center (Commercial)
Continued Downtown Development (Office, Residential, and Retail)
As commercial business growth within the community occurs, the Solid Waste Department provides both refuse and recycling services to the new businesses. Increased need for commercial containers is also anticipated for expanded commercial recycling, one of the Solid Waste department's strategic goals. There are currently several containers in the field that have outlived their useful life, and are planned for replacement. Containers will be ordered on an as needed basis to maintain appropriate stocking levels in the City's Distribution Center.
