Title
Resolution - A Resolution Awarding the Contract for the Purchase and Replacement of a Pathological Waste Incinerator to Therm-Tec, Inc. and FC Industries, Inc. for an Amount Not to Exceed $83,104.35
Requested Action
The authorization of funds in the amount of Eighty-Three Thousand One Hundred and Four Dollars ($83,104.35) and Thirty-Five Cents and approval to execute a contract with Therm-Tec, Inc. & FC Industries, Inc. to purchase and install a replacement pathological waste incinerator for the Mansfield Animal Shelter.
Recommendation
Approval of resolution.
Description/History
The Mansfield Animal Control Shelter purchased and installed a pathological waste incinerator in 2004. Over time the equipment has been serviced with routine maintenance and other repairs. The asset’s useful life has diminished and needs to be taken out of service and replaced. A bid for a replacement was received, opened, and publicly read aloud on August 17, 2022. The bid specifications were for an equipment replacement of the same design and specifications so an amendment to the Animal Shelter’s current TCEQ permit is sufficient for continued operation. The bid was submitted with a price of Seventy-Nine Thousand One Hundred and Forty-Seven Dollars ($79,147.00), and a resolution with a five (5%) contingency fund is recommended for a total approval not to exceed Eighty-Three Thousand One Hundred and Four Dollars ($83,104.35) and Thirty-Five Cents.
Justification
The Animal Control Department is responsible for the disposal of pathological waste, and the replacement of the current incinerator will eliminate time spent loading, unloading, and driving to an off-site disposal facility.
