REOMST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDhNITEM <br />Agenda Date Requested: June 13. 1994 <br />Requested By: S. Gi lett Department: Public Works <br />XXXX Report Resolution Ordinance <br />Exhibits: Purchasing Recommendation and Bid Tabulation <br />SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION <br />Sealed Bid #0593 for the semi-annual purchase of 132,000 lbs of plastic <br />garbage bags were opened on May 23, 1994. This contract is for the bag <br />handout scheduled for July 25th through August 12th, which requires a <br />delivery date by July 20th. Bid requests were sent to six (6) vendors, <br />with three (3) returning bids. <br />Low bid was submitted by Arrow Industries in the amount of $0.36 per lb. <br />for a total bid of $47,520.00. The bidder indicated that the July 20th <br />delivery date would be no problem. This pricing is the same as the <br />November 1993 contract price. <br />H-GAC has a contract for plastic garbage bags with Bemis Company in the <br />amount of $0.352 per lb. Including H-GAC's administrative fee, the cost <br />for purchasing through H-GAC would be $47,378.64. This would represent a <br />saving of $141.36. However, due to the demand, Bemis' delivery schedule is <br />5 to 8 weeks, and is not considered firm. This shipping schedule would not <br />meet the required delivery date for the July handout. For this reason, <br />awarding the contract through H-GAC is not recommended. <br />A total of $53,898 is available in the Residential Solid Waste operating <br />budget for this purchase. <br />Action Required by Council: Award the semi-annual contract for plastic <br />garbage bags to Arrow Industries at a price of $0.36 per lb. for a total <br />cost of $47,520. <br />Availability of Funds: <br />XXXX General Fund <br />Capital Improvement <br />Other <br />Water/Wastewater <br />General Revenue Sharing <br />Account Number: 001-700-702-215 Funds Available: XX YES NO <br />
