Ray - Purchasing Ag nt ~•, <br />;G,: <br />SUBJECT: Sealed Bid #0058 - P1a~tic:Garbage Bags <br />J <br />Advertised sealed bid 40058 for the cooperative purchase of thirty-gallon plastic <br />garbage bags were opened and read in City Council Chambers October 15, 1984 at <br />4:00 p.m. Sealed Bid invitations were mailed to fifteen area producers of poly- <br />ethylene film with the six following firms returning bids; (1) B & E Packaging, <br />(2) Arrow Industries, (3) Adams Industries, (4) Morse Wholesale, (5) Sunbelt <br />Plastics, and (6) Armin Plastics. <br />Vendors bid on the standard 30" x 37" x .002 mil garbage bag delivered to the <br />City of La Porte in the following quantities by December 30, 1984: <br />City of La Porte - 115,000 lbs. <br />City of Seabrook - 20,000 lbs. <br />City of Baytown - 148,000 lbs. <br />• The quantities listed above represent one-half of each City's annual requirements <br />for Fiscal Year 1984-85. Another spot cooperative purchase will be conducted in <br />May, 1985 to establish a price for the remaining requirements of all entities. <br />Low bid was submitted by Adams Industries of Monroe, La. in the amount of $.399 <br />per pound. This price represents a 20% decrease over the price currently being <br />paid by the Cities of La Porte and Seabrook. The decrease in price can be attri- <br />buted to the large volume involved in this cooperative purchase as well as the <br />deletion of the requirement that the successful bidder guarantee the price of <br />plastic bags for one year. <br />I hereby recommend that the City of La Porte award the purchase of 115,000 lbs. <br />of thirty-gallon garbage bags for December 30, 1984 delivery to Adams Industries <br />on the basis of their low bid of $.399 per pound. I also recommend that La Porte <br />City Council execute formal interlocal agreements with the cities of Baytown and <br />Seabrook to enable them to take advantage of the favorable pricing. <br />I trust you will concur with this recommendation. <br />Jr/mb <br />cc: B.
