Background Information
The Public Works Department Solid Waste Division is replacing four (4) recycling trucks (CID’s 70781, 70863, 71234 and 71235) as identified in the approved fiscal year 2018 budget. These trucks are the obsolete, old style split-body recycling trucks used when the City manually collected recyclable material from bins. The new trucks will have front load bodies set up for use with a Curotto Can which allows for the automated collection of material in totes. They will be used predominately for recycling but have the flexibility to be used for garbage if needed. The old trucks will be auctioned.
Kenworth of Central Florida, Inc. is an approved vendor under the Florida Sheriffs Contract FSA17-VEH15.0. This contract is made available to local governments and municipal Police and Fire departments within the State for vehicle and equipment acquisition. Using this cooperative bid, local government agencies are able to obtain competitive pricing. Local government agencies have the flexibility to choose a product or service according to the business needs, such as price, warranty, supplier performance or brand name.
While City ordinance authorizes the City Manager to utilize piggyback agreements, the City Manager's policy requires all agreements exceeding $100,000 to be presented to Commission for consideration. All appropriate forms, procedures, and processes have been reviewed by Procurement.
