Procurement Agreement with Franklin Disposal, LLC, of Franklin, Tennessee in the amount of $3.25 per container per day for the purchase of servicing of public refuse collection containers located in downtown Franklin for a term of service for the Sanitation and Environmental Services Department (Purchasing Office Procurement Solicitation No. 2018-010; Contract No. 2017-0331)
body
Purpose
The purpose of this procurement is to purchase servicing the approximately 44 public refuse collection containers located in areas of downtown Franklin as specified, with services as specified to be rendered either three (3) days per week (Friday through Sunday only) or seven (7) days per week (Monday through Sunday), for a term of service of approximately one (1) year with four (4) options to extend the term of service, each time for up to one (1) additional year, for a maximum possible term of service of five (5) years total.
Background
As previously reported:
• The areas of downtown Franklin with public refuse collection containers to be serviced include, but are not limited to, East Main Street between 1st Ave. and 3rd Ave., Main Street between 3rd Ave. and 5th Ave., West Main Street between 5th Ave. and 6th Ave., 5th Ave. North between Main Street and Del Rio Pike, Columbia Ave. between Main Street and Fowlkes Street, and, possibly, Franklin Rd. between 1st Ave. and Liberty Pike.
• The City sought bids for services to be rendered either three (3) days per week (Friday through Sunday only) or seven (7) days per week (Monday through Sunday), and specified that the City would determine which frequency-per-week after all bids received had been evaluated by the City.
The Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted on December 12, 2017 (1) to outsource this service for seven (7) days per week (Monday through Sunday) and discontinue using City crews to service the containers, and (2) to accept, contingent upon Law Department and City Administrator approval of City Contract No. 2017-0331, the apparent lowest best bid, from Franklin Disposal, LLC, of Franklin, Tennessee, in the amount of $3.25 per container per day for the purchase of servicing of public refuse collection containers located in downtown Franklin for a term of service, and award this procurement to this bidder.
Financial Impact
As previously reported:
• The bid from Franklin Disposal, LLC, of Franklin, Tennessee, is in the amount of $3.25 per container per day for the purchase of servicing of public refuse collection containers located in downtown Franklin for a term of service. The quoted bid amount of $3.25 per container per day is the same as the amount bid in 2016 for service during calendar year 2017.
• In the bid documents, the City specified an estimated 44 public refuse collection containers located in the service area so, at this unit price and for services to be rendered seven (7) days per week (Monday through Sunday) the total value of the purchase is estimated to be $52,052 per year.
Attachment
Pursuant to authority previously granted by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen, Contract No. 2017-0331 with Franklin Disposal, LLC has been executed by the City Administrator and is attached.
