I. RECOMMENDATION:
By Minute Motion:
(1) Authorize staff to contract with Forms and Surfaces; and
(2) Authorize the appropriation and expenditure of funds in an amount of
$101,600.20 from Account No. 236-4195-454-3090.
II. Discussion:
The City Council authorized staff to utilize City/County Beverage Container Funds for
the implementation and purchase of recycling/trash containers within City parks at its
meeting of May 27, 2004. Staff initiated a pilot program within the Civic Center Park
with the purchase of new containers that provide for recycling. The City/County Grant
funds were utilized to fund the pilot program. The initial implementation program was to
determine if the containers would work within the parks and how well visitors would
utilize the containers. Per Jay Niemczak, park visitors are utilizing the containers and
as a result additional containers should be ordered and placed throughout the park.
The new containers will be placed at each pavilion, entry, facilities, and sporadically
throughout the park. This was evident at the City's Annual picnic.
Staff is requesting that the program be expanded through the purchase of
approximately 80 containers from Forms and Surfaces to complete the Civic Center
Park and the new Palma Village Neighborhood Park. Forms and Surfaces is the only
company that manufactures the selected containers and it offered GSA Contract pricing
(GSA Contract No. GS-27F-0042N). The total purchase price for the containers is
$101,600.20. Funds to make the purchase were set -aside in the recycling account as
part of the annual process; however, since staff did not designate a specific company or
dollar amount, this request is being submitted to City Council for consideration.
