Background:
As a proposed enhancement to the FY20 Budget, the Rural Collections Centers Fund (RCC’s) requested an additional Solid Waste Operator and a Roll-off truck. This request was based upon the fact that the Rural Collection Centers have approximately 50 containers in circulation any of which must be emptied more than once a week. The maximum capacity for the two drivers is to pull 40 to 50 containers in a week. The two drivers are often working 10 to 20 hours of overtime a week just to stay keep up with the demand. The enhancement was approved as part of the budget process so purchase order is to buy a Roll-off Truck.
This purchase is exempt from the County's competitive bidding requirements pursuant to Section 22.11(15) of the Alachua County Purchasing Code, which permits the County to purchase supplies, materials, equipment and services under contract with federal, state, or municipal governments or any other governmental agency or political subdivision providing the vendor extends the same terms and conditions of the contract to the county, based on the determination by the Procurement Manager of such purchases off these contracts being in the best interest of the county. However, since the dollar amount of the purchase exceeds the purchasing authority of the Procurement Manager, this Purchase Order is being submitted for Board consideration and approval.
