PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Authorize award and execution of a contract with Ebert Inc. to provide compactors and storage facilities for the Recycling Zone Plus project.
SUMMARY
The general contractor for the Recycling Zone Plus facility was awarded a contract by Resolution No. 25-541 (November 18, 2025).
Intentionally, the general construction contract did not include three trash compactors, a lithium battery storage facility, or a propane storage facility.
A public bid was advertised on February 5, 2026. One bid was received and opened on February 26, 2026:
Bidder Base Bid Alternate One Total
Ebert Inc. $356,000 $155,000 $511,000
Alternate No. 1 changes the basis of design from Sani-Tech and Cram-a-Lot brand compactors to Komar Auger Pak and Tram Pak brand compactors. The compactor brands are similar size and quality, and both were included in the bidding process to promote competition.
Staff is recommending the approval of the Base Bid.
Staff and LHB, the project design firm, reviewed the bidder qualifications and found that Ebert Inc. has submitted the lowest responsive and responsible bid.
The larger building construction is planned to begin in spring 2026 and will last approximately 12 months. The three components of the purchase will be delivered on site near the end of the building construction.
