It is requested that Council approve payment to Hajoca Columbus (Columbus,

Georgia), in the amount of $63,798.00, for the emergency replacement of two

600 gallon water heaters at the County Jail.



The water heaters at the jail were leaking and needed to be replaced before

must be available in the building for sanitation purposes. The City Manager

was notified of the situation and approved the emergency purchase on March 3,

2009.

can provide and build water heaters in the size required for the jail.

(G) EMERGENCY PURCHASE OF SKID STEER FOR THE (MRF) MATERIALS RECYCLING FACILITY



It is requested that Council approve payment to SunSouth, LLC., (Columbus,

Georgia), in the amount of $26,202.98, for the emergency purchase of a Skid

Steer required to operate the Materials Recycling Facility.



Currently, the City is contracted with Goodwill to receive and market the

City?s picked up recycle materials, such as newspapers, magazines etc?

However, on July 1, 2009 Goodwill will no longer accept recycle materials.

When the City was made aware of Goodwill?s decision, an RFP was advertised

February 18, 2009 in an attempt to obtain another vendor who would provide and

operate a MRF for the City. No vendors submitted proposals, but did indicate

that the market was such that it would not be profitable for them to make the

capital investment needed to provide and operate a MRF. Consequently, the

RFP was re-written for the City to provide and operate the MRF with a vendor

picking up and marketing the recyclables. Due to the amount of time that has

expired, the City is now in an urgent situation to have the MRF in operation by

July 1. Therefore, in order to obtain the necessary equipment and complete

negotiations with a vendor, the City Manager has deemed this project an

emergency since the City cannot cease its recycling program.



The City will utilize the warehouse, located on Victory Drive, as the MRF

location. The Public Services Department obtained quotes from the following

vendors for the Skid Steer:



SunSouth, LLC (Columbus, Georgia) $26,202.98

Yancey (Fortson, Georgia) 27,045.00

Georgia) to provide mental health services, for the Mental Health Court, in the
