Emergency Purchase ? Information Only



GARBAGE TRUCKS FOR PUBLIC WORKS:



On July 17, 2019, the City Manager approved the emergency purchase of six (6)

garbage trucks for Public Works.



Garbage trucks require replacement due to aging equipment (garbage trucks,

grab-alls, etc.) which took a beating as a result of responding to and working

over-time on multiple significant storms that hit Columbus over the last few

months. Ongoing briefings were provided at City Council as Public Works

employees and equipment worked around the clock to clear streets, ROW and

debris on right of way from private property. The City?s inert landfill has

been significantly impacted as well.



The following vehicles will be purchased from Carolina Environmental Systems,

Inc., (Austell, Georgia):





2019 Freightliner M2-106, 25 Cubic Yard Dura Pack 5000 Rear Loader /Reading

Cylinder

$184,610.00

2019 Freightliner M2-106, 25 Cubic Yard Dura Pack 5000 Rear Loader/No Reading

Cylinder

176,430.00

2020 Freightliner M2-106, 25 Cubic Yard Dura Pack 5000 Rear Loader/No Reading

Cylinder

171,799.00

2020 Freightliner M2-106, 25 Cubic Yard Dura Pack 5000 Rear Loader/No Reading

171,514.00

2020 Freightliner M2-106, 25 Cubic Yard Dura Pack 5000 Rear Loader/Reading

Cylinder

177,387.00

2019 Freightliner M2-106, 25 Cubic Yard Dura Pack 5000 Rear Loader/No Reading

Cylinder

176,532.00

GRAND TOTAL

$1,058,272.00



The specifications are the same with the exception of one or two features that

do not affect how the truck operates, i.e. Reading Cylinders verses Non Reading

Cylinders, which is simply the type of winching system available on each

vehicle. The winching system is used to connect the dumpster to the vehicle

for the purpose of lifting the dumpster, different models. Consequently there

are slight cost differences per vehicle.



The vendor currently has these vehicles readily available on their retail lot

and the City can obtain the trucks within a couple of weeks. This is a

significant time savings compared to months due to bidding, building and the

merging of two separate vendors (one for Cab and Chassis and one for the Body)

to create one vehicle. The City has purchased Garbage Trucks from the vendor

in the past.



Funding is available in the FY20 Budget: Integrated Waste Management Fund ?

Public Works ? Solid Waste Collection ? Heavy Trucks; 0207 ? 260 ? 3510 ? GARB

- 7723.
