VERSION 1 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Council Agenda Item Cover <br /> <br />___________________________________________________________ <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MEETING DATE: <br /> April 30, 2007 <br /> <br />AGENDA ITEM TITLE: <br /> 48 Gallon Single Stream Recycling Containers <br /> <br />AGENDA SECTION: <br /> Consent <br /> <br />CAN THIS ITEM BE RESCHEDULED? : <br />Yes <br /> <br />BACKGROUND REVIEW: <br />Recycling carts are needed to expand the Single Stream <br />Recycling Program. Financial assistance from a grant will cover about 50% of the <br />equipment costs. City matching funds will cover the remaining balance. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />It is our recommendation to accept the responsive bid <br />submitted by Armor Equipment in the total amount of $125,490. We specified a 40-50 <br />gallon container in our bid request. Based on the Single Stream pilot program <br />surveys, participants preferred the largest container possible. Armor Equipment can <br />provide the largest container, a 48-gallon. It is the best value because we can <br />purchase the larger container for less than 5% more than the lowest bid. <br /> <br />The bid results for the recycling containers are as follows: <br /> <br />COMPANY CONTAINER SIZE UNIT QTY.
