PURPO5E: To consider awarding a contract far thirteen (13) twenty yard open top containers
from Bakers Waste Equipment from Morganton, North Carolina,
BACKGROUND: At the March 15, 2005 regular meeting, the Board approved an extensive list
of major vehicle and equipment purchases for 2004-05 to be funded through several financing
arrangements that would enable the County to take advantage of prevailing low interest rates
and to acquire much needed capital equipment with the costs spread over three to five years.
Included in the approved equipment list were thirteen (13) twenty yard open top containers for
the Sanitation Division of the Public Works Department.
These containers will be deployed at four of the County's solid waste convenience centers to
serve as receptacles for bulky items that are now placed on the ground at those sites. These
containers will hold metal, appliances, and tires, and will enhance the safety and orderliness
with which convenience center operations are conducted.
Orange County staff developed specifications for the required equipment, These specifications
were part of bid solicitation #1435 that was sent to nine vendors and advertised on the County's
website. Five companies responded, with Bakers Waste Equipment from Morganton, North
Carolina submitting the lowest responsive bid at a delivered cost of $3,345 each, as noted on
the attached bid tabulation,
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The total purchase price of the thirteen containers is $43,485, As noted
above and in another item on this .June 7 agenda, the cost of this equipment will be covered
through financing provided by SunTrust Bank. Funding for the first year principle and interest
payments is included in the Manager's Recommended 2005-06 budget,
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board: award the bid to Bakers
Waste Equipment from Morganton, North Carolina at a cost of $43,485; authorize the
Purchasing Director to execute the necessary paperwork associated with the equipment
acquisition; and authorize the Finance Director to execute all paperwork associated with the
financing of the equipment.
