title
Acknowledge report of emergency purchase of replacement of concrete pads for solid waste transfer station pedestal transfer boom systems in the total amount of $58,531.45 for the Sanitation and Environmental Services Department
body
Purpose
The purpose of this memorandum is to report the emergency purchase of replacement of the concrete pads for the two pedestal transfer boom systems located at the City's solid waste transfer station.
Background
The City's solid waste transfer station, as designed, constructed and opened in June of 2004, anticipated the installation of two (2) pad-mounted pedestal transfer boom systems to be used to load and pack municipal solid waste from the transfer station floor to solid waste transfer trailers. The supply, delivery and installation of this equipment was completed in November of 2015. In April, 2016, City staff noticed signs of stress on the concrete pads upon which the new equipment had been installed. These pads were original as they had been included in the original construction of the transfer station. As use of the new equipment had to be discontinued immediately, and as the efficient operation of the transfer station depends on continuing use of the new equipment, a plan for replacing the concrete pads was developed.
The following table reports the component services required to achieve the desired result:
