DPW committee approves purchase of recycling/roll-off containers and replacement waste-oil furnace
Summary
The Department of Public Works received committee permission to award three procurement items—six 30-yard recycling containers for $50,298, six 40-yard open-top roll-off containers for $40,332 to Custom Containers, and replacement of the landfill waste-oil furnace to AG Roaring & Son for $25,201.58—all included in the 2025 budget.
Department of Public Works staff requested and received committee approval to award three procurement items for the solid waste operation. Tom Windes said Custom Containers submitted the lowest bids for two line items and that the amounts are included in the 2025 budget: six 30-yard recycling containers for $50,298 and six 40-yard open-top roll-off containers for $40,332. "Custom containers were the lowest bid, and the bid tab is on your package. And it is the funds are in the budget," Windes said.
The committee also authorized replacement of the waste-oil furnace at the landfill to AG Roaring & Son for $25,201.58, with the vendor identified in the packet as the lowest bidder and the amount included in the 2025 budget. A board member asked about typical life expectancy of such furnaces; Windes replied that modern units last roughly 10–12 years compared with 20–25 years in the past.
Each award was made by motion and approved by voice vote at the meeting. The transcript does not record formal written contract signatures or contract numbers; staff noted that the bid tab and procurement packet are in the meeting materials and that funds are available in the department's 2025 budget.
