Title
Action on Resolution 20-008, a Resolution to approve the purchase of new Automated Yard Waste Carts from Sanitation Products, Inc., Sioux Falls, SD, through Sourcewell Contract #041217-SRF.
Body
Summary:
This resolution will award the purchase of 3,965 yard waste carts from Sanitation Products, Inc., Sioux Falls, SD, for $235,931.58 through Sourcewell Contract #041217-SRF. The attainment of the carts will allow the implementation of the new automated yard waste collection program. Residents can request extra carts if needed. Yard Waste material is picked up twice a week.
Background:
The current yard waste collection program consists of selling paper yard waste bags to Brookings residents through various avenues. The Collection Department currently picks up over 67,000 bags annually. Additionally, a drop off location is provided for residents at the Landfill, the Community Gardens, and a new site yet to be determined.
Fiscal Impact:
The City will enter into a contract with Sanitation Product, Inc. to purchase of 3,965 carts will cost $235,931.58. Shifting to the automated yard waste collection system alleviates the need of replacing the $200,000 rear-load garbage truck as part of the 2020 Capital Improvement Plan. The $200,000 in savings from the budgeted truck expenditure and $40,000 in savings from bag purchases provides the funds for the yard waste cart purchase.
