PURPOSE: To consider awarding a bid for ten 30-cubic yard Roll-off Containers for Orange. County's
Solid Waste Management Department.
BACKGROUND: The Solid Waste Department's FY 2001-02 operating budget includes funding for
the purchase of ten 30-cubic yard Roll-off Containers. These containers would be used to replace
leased containers for newspapers and magazines at three existing recycling dropoff sites and at the
new recycling site being constructed at Carrboro Plaza.
Specifications were developed by staff that met the County's needs. The bid call was advertised and
bids were solicited from nine vendors on Orange County Bid number 1259. Three bidders responded.
Attached is a tabulation of that bid. Carolina Environmental Systems of Kernersville, North Carolina
submitted the lowest responsible bid that was responsive at a delivered cost of$35,260 for ten (10)
units.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Under the County's current recycling operation, a private contractor leases to
the Solid Waste Management Department 3 newspaper roll-off containers @ $25/each/month and 4
magazine roll-off containers @ $10/each/month. There is an additional charge of $75 per collection
for these containers. They are located at the following sites: University Mall (Chapel Hill); Cedar Falls
Park (Chapel Hill); and WalMart (Hillsborough). By purchasing these containers, the Department
expects to realize cost savings of about $85,000 over the next six years. Total cost of this action, if
approved by the Board, would be $35,260. Sufficient funds to cover this purchase are allocated in the
Solid Waste Management Department's FY 2001-02 operating budget.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board award bid number 1259 to
Carolina Environmental Systems of Kernersville, North Carolina in the amount of$35,260; and
authorize the Purchasing Director to execute the necessary paperwork.
