City of Arden Hills City Council Meeting for February 12, 2018 Page 1 of 2 CONSENT ITEM – 6I MEMORANDUM DATE: February 12, 2018 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers Dave Perrault, City Administrator FROM: Matthew Bachler, City Planner SUBJECT: Purchase of Residential Recycling Carts and Replacement Parts from Cascade Engineering – Resolution 2018-012 Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: N/A $10,804.00 Recycling Fund Council Should Consider Motion to approve Resolution 2018-012 for the purchase of residential recycling carts and replacement parts from Cascade Engineering in the amount of $10,804.00. Background The City purchased recycling carts from Cascade Engineering for its curbside residential recycling program in 2015. Under the contract with Republic Services, the City is the owner of the recycling carts and Republic is responsible for cart management and operations. Republic has informed the City that the inventory of 64-gallon carts and replacement parts for both 64-gallon and 32-gallon carts are beginning to run low. Staff requested a quote from Cascade Engineering for 150 carts, which should be sufficient for replacing broken carts and delivering carts to new residents for the next few years. The quote also includes replacement wheels, lids, and axles. The carts would have the same design as the existing carts used by the City. The total cost of the 150 carts would be $6,075.00 and the combined cost of the replacement parts would be $3,335.00. Staff would propose paying for the carts and parts using the reserves in the Recycling Fund. The current amount of reserves in the fund is approximately $152,677.93. The City does not have any other budgeted use of the Recycling Fund reserves at this time.
