Body
BACKGROUND
This action does not encumber funds; the purpose of a master agreement is to establish firm pricing for goods, for a specific term, which are ordered on an as needed basis according to annual budgetary appropriations. The estimated amount is intended as guidance rather than a cap on spending under the agreement, so that actual need combined with the amount budgeted will determine the amount spend under this agreement.
This master agreement will provide waste and recycling collection roll carts and parts for resident use throughout the City. Waste and recycling collection roll carts covered by this master agreement will be utilized in growth areas of the City as well as replacements for broken or stolen roll carts. Roll carts come in three sizes (48, 64 and 96-gallons) and are gray (residential waste) and blue and black (recycle waste) in color. The City collects an estimated 240,000 tons of refuse and 55,000 tons of recycling from residential customers annually.
Omnia Partners conforms to the requirements of Texas Statutes that are applicable to competitive bids and proposals, in accordance with the Interlocal Cooperation Act, Chapter 791, Texas Government Code. In addition, Omnia Partners receives bids from manufacturers and dealers throughout the United States.
