Report
Summary
Specialty industrial solid tire assemblies are used on the City's large front-end loaders at the North Gateway and 27th Avenue Transfer Stations. The large front-end loaders continually drive over and through collected waste, including construction materials and debris, that is potentially damaging to equipment and tires. Specialty industrial solid waste tire assemblies are necessary to withstand these conditions.
Procurement Information
In accordance with Administrative Regulation 3.10, normal competition was waived as the result of a Determination Memo citing that there is an unusual nature of the goods that require a specific vendor for safety, consistency and training.

The initial term of the contract is one year beginning on or about Oct. 1, 2017. A provision of the contract includes an option to extend the term up to four years, in increments of up to one year, which may be exercised by the City Manager or his designee.
Financial Impact
The aggregate value of the contract will not exceed $270,000, with an estimated annual expenditure of $54,000. Funds are available in the Public Works Department's budget.
