body
BACKGROUND:
The City’s Public Works Commercial Sanitation Division has an ongoing need for dumpster painting and repair services. The most common type of dumpster repair is bottom replacement, which extends the dumpster's lifespan. Generally, dumpster bottoms can be repaired two to three times before total dumpster replacement is required.
Outsourcing this service provides the City with an effective and efficient way to repair dumpster bottoms. The Public Works Commercial Sanitation Division is capable of performing minor repairs in-house but is not equipped to handle large-volume repairs in conjunction with other responsibilities.
