BACKGROUND:
The Public Works Sanitation Division is requesting approval of contract PWD/230807 with Lewis Steel Works, Inc. for the provision of front-loading steel waste containers (dumpsters). This contract will allow the City to maintain its inventory of dumpsters at levels necessary to replace those that are no longer serviceable; to service special events; and to meet the changing needs of our commercial customers. As new dumpsters from inventory are placed in service, Public Works will purchase additional front-loading steel dumpsters to re-stock the inventory. Additionally, growth in the commercial market has resulted in a need to increase the number of containers in our inventory.
