Appropriation Ordinance incorporating the buy-back proceeds of Refuse Packer
No. ER #3136 as specified in the buy-back provision (see attached) with the vendor
found in City Purchase Order 00-05760. The amount of the "buy-back" funds the
purchase from Richland.
The City's Refuse Division is nearly mid -way through its conversion of manual
refuse service to automated service. This was a seven-year process as decided in
2001, Agenda Item No. 18 dated July 17, 2001. The intent of automation was
multifold, to make more efficient the City's refuse service, to reduce injuries to our
employees --and thereby reduce the City's exposure to escalating workers
compensation claims --and finally, to increase the service level to those areas which
required attention. All these goals are being accomplished; however, as we move
the physical labor to machinery, we Iind the necessity to have a backup automated
packer for those times when the normal compliment of vehicles may be impacted
by repair requirements. This proposal provides a low—cost solution to this
challenge. RCW 39.33 allows for interlocal purchasing of this kind and the attached
letter from Richland, Washington documents their commitment to this sale and
purchase.
