Board authorizes sole-source purchase of deployable litter fence for landfill, not to exceed $27,600
Summary
The board approved a sole-source procurement for a movable litter-control fence for the active landfill cell, citing its unique, manually-deployable design and the need to reduce wind-blown litter; roll-call votes were recorded as 'Yes.'
Muskegon County Public Works staff asked the board to authorize a sole-source procurement of a deployable litter fence for the active landfill cell, telling members the product is unique because it can be deployed and moved manually as the landfill cell is filled. Staff said the fence will provide an additional line of defense against wind-blown litter and reduce the need for extra labor.
On the uniqueness of the product staff said it is “a different type of deployable” that can be moved manually: “it is because it can be moved manually, deployed manually. That's what makes it unique.” The staff noted the item was planned as part of the expansion to address litter that has been blown from Cell 6.
The motion to authorize sole-source procurement for the defender litter fence not to exceed $27,600 was taken by roll call; the transcript records board members answering 'Yes' during the roll call. The board recorded the action and staff will proceed with the procurement.
