Background:
On June 12, 2012, the City Commission authorized staff to proceed with formal bids for residential roll-out trash carts. The Solid Waste Task Force Report was presented to the Lawrence City Commission on February 28, 2012. During the study session and city commission meeting, much discussion focused on worker safety in the collection of single family residential trash. The Solid Waste Task Force (SWTF) recommended providing roll-out carts for residential services, which can be utilized immediately with the current fleet of semi-automated trucks. At the February 28, 2012 meeting, the City Commission stated the provision of carts was a top priority because of worker safety.
Project Funding:
The Solid Waste Division set aside funding for the cart program in the Equipment Reserve Fund. Adequate funds are available to cover full program implementation in 2012.
Action Request:
Award Bid B#1243 for Roll-out Residential Cart Implementation Program to Rehrig Pacific Company, up to $885,490 in 2012.
