Recommendation Concerning a Change Order to Purchase Order #150656, Fairbanks Scales, Inc., for Repairs and Maintenance to Scales at Perdido Landfill and Palafox Transfer Station - Patrick T. Johnson, Waste Services Department Director
That the Board approve and authorize the County Administrator to execute the following Change Order Number 5, to Fairbanks Scales, Inc., for repairs and maintenance to scales at the Perdido Landfill and the Palafox Transfer Station:
The purpose of this Change Order is to provide additional funding in support of repair and maintenance activities performed by Fairbanks Scales, Inc., to scales at the Perdido Landfill and the Palafox Transfer Station.
Prior to the 2014/15 Fiscal Year, a request for bids was sought by the Waste Services Department, from companies which could perform the needed maintenance and repairs required, within the needed time-frame, to scales at the Perdido Landfill and Palafox Transfer Station. Diligence was performed to obtain quotes from three vendors. However, due to the limited number of companies which provide this type of service, only two vendors were identified to respond to the request for quotes - Fairbanks Scales, Inc. and Ziel Scale, Inc.
In October, 2014, the Board approved an Open Blanket Purchase Order to Fairbanks Scales, Inc., for repairs and maintenance of scales at the Perdido Landfill and the Palafox Transfer Station.
BUDGETARY IMPACT:
Funding for this project is available in Fund 401 Solid Waste, Cost Centers 230307 & 230314, Object Code 54601.
