This Invitation for bid is for a dual grabber cart sanitation trailer system and any accompanying equipment only. This proposal should not include any cart cleaning equipment that is not on a portable trailer.

The system shall be the manufacturer's latest model. The unit(s) shall be furnished and delivered new, complete and ready for use. All parts not specifically mentioned but which are necessary for the complete unit(s) shall be supplied and installed by the vendor, even though such work or material is not specifically outlined, and shall conform in strength, quality of material and workmanship to the best practice known to the industry. All unit(s) shall be identical and all parts interchangeable.
The bidder shall take these conditions into consideration before making this bid.

The design of the unit(s) bid shall be such that it will withstand the aforementioned types of service.

The City is interested in procuring an eco-friendly system that will allow us to clean our trash and recycle carts. Currently it is an involved task that can waste a lot of water, and time.

There are approximately 84,000 City issued carts currently being used by residents on a daily basis for their trash and recycling needs. These carts are routinely repaired and/or replaced by the Department of Public Works. In an average week, about 140 barrels are either repaired or replaced by the Department. When a barrel is taken out of service, it is kept in storage on the top floor of our administrative offices. As such, it is imperative that when these barrels are in storage they are properly sanitized before entering the building.

A proper cart cleaning system has been proven to reduce water waste, and extend the life of the carts year over year.
