Resolution accepting the bid of Scales Sales & Service in the amount of $147,145.00 for the Recycling Center Scale Purchase and Installation Project Phase I A.  Project # 2021-168

On January 12, 2022, two (2) bids were received through the City bidding software, Ion Wave, as follows:

The current scale was installed in 1997, the year the Recycling Center was opened.  It is near the end of its useful life.

In the first few years of operation, annual traffic averaged 16,000 vehicles.  In 2020, nearly 54,000 vehicles utilized the facility.

The purchase and installation of this scale will allow for the redesign of the facility entrance. The redesign will open both gates for separate inbound and outbound traffic through each gate.  This new scale will function as the inbound traffic scale while utilizing the existing scale for outbound traffic. 

Phase two of the project is the removal of the old 1997 scale and replacement with a new outbound scale.

These two projects will enhance safety by eliminating issues caused by crossing traffic patterns and reduce bottlenecks at the entrance of the facility.

The construction project was included in the Recycling Center Operating Budget.

Approval to accept the bid of Scales Sales & Service in the amount of $147,145.00.  This project will enhance safety by eliminating issues caused by crossing traffic patterns and reduce bottlenecks at the entrance of the facility.
