BACKGROUND
The Solid Waste and Recycling Division has been dealing with delayed repairs and replacements with large, heavy equipment utilized at the landfill for the last 3 years. Due to many global supply chain issues, these problems are persisting. The Division went through the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) process during March 2022 to purchase a new landfill compactor. Due to unforeseen circumstances in the heavy equipment manufacturing industry, that equipment was on a 2-year delivery delay. That delay, when coupled with inability to find parts for repairs, has caused the need to purchase another landfill compactor. Also, due to the extended delay in deliveries, the Division wants to be proactive in ensuring the needs of the facility are met and service can be provided daily. During CIP discussions this fiscal year, the Division submitted a request to purchase a new compactor. After discussion with the CIP Committee, it was proposed that the Division proceed with purchasing a new compactor as quickly as possible to help alleviate the strains on the remaining equipment fleet.
A bid advertisement was published in the Charlotte Observer on March 19, 2023. The bid was also posted on the County's website and on HUBSCO.
On March 31, 2023, a total of five (5) bids were received. Results of the bids are as follows:
