<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Council Agenda Item Cover <br /> <br />___________________________________________________________ <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MEETING DATE: <br /> September 24, 2007 <br />AGENDA SECTION: <br /> City Manager’s Report <br /> <br />48-Gallon Single Stream Recycling Containers <br /> <br />PW Director Evelyn Shields-Benford is here this evening to announce the kick off of the <br />2008 Single Stream Recycling Program. In order to do so we will need to purchase <br />substantially more carts than originally planned for. The savings in automating will cover the <br /> <br />cost of the additional carts.Armor provided the best value bid on the 48-gallon carts in May <br />2007, at a unit cost of $41.83 per cart. Therefore, we selected the Armor 48-gallon carts for <br />city-wide implementation. For the first phase, the City purchased 3,000 carts at a total cost <br />of $125,490. Additional recycling carts are now needed to expand the Single Stream <br />Recycling Program city-wide. City-wide single-stream recycling implementation is expected <br />to begin this fall and be completed by spring 2008. <br /> <br />Armor Equipment provided a price break on the May 2007 per unit price based on volume for <br />the additional 9,800 carts. The unit price was reduced from $41.83 per cart to $41.11 per <br />cart. The total cost of the 9800 recycling carts is $402,878. <br /> <br />COMPANY CONTAINER SIZE UNIT PRICE QTY.
