HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 15 - Trash Compactor Stations MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: APRIL 18, 2017
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION FOR THE SOLE SOURCE
PURCHASE OF TRASH COMPACTOR STATIONS
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council to consider approval of a resolution for a sole source purchase of trash
compactor stations from Adrite.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funding for this purchase is available in account 174-74015-312-061 (Trash Receptacle
Replacement) in the amount not to exceed $31,398.75.
BACKGROUND:
This purchase request is for solar powered trash and recycling receptacles for the Oak
Grove Ballfield complex to finish out the multi-year project implementation. The rough
compaction Bigbelly has replaced 150 open waste and recycling cans with 30 compacting
waste and recycling stations at Oak Grove Park. With its ability to compact and send alert
messages, we've been able to go from emptying cans throughout the day during busy
periods to now collecting at the end of the day. These stations have been well received
by our patrons and have really improved the aesthetics of Oak Grove by decreasing litter
on the ground due to full containers.
The procurement of trash compactor stations will be made as a sole source purchase from
Adrite in accordance with Local Government Code Chapter 252, Subchapter B, §252.022.
General Exemptions (a) (7) (A).
Staff recommends approval.
