CITY OF MIAMI. FLORIDA f INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO Howard V. Gary City Manager FROM riguez, Director .,Aa ing Department DATE- Ma ^ch 23, 1984 SUBJECT: Trash Receptacles REFERENCES ENCLOSURES. It is recommended that a prototype concrete trash receptacle, especially designed and fabricated for the downtown people mover stations, be inspected and tested by the City of Miami for po^sible purchase and use throughout all commercial districts. FILE A "committee" incIuding rc=presentatives form the Sanitation Department, P1anna.nj; De p,,� rtji-i c 11 t ?nd 1)1)A, has been studying alternatives for new trash receptacle dcsipn. The committee met most recently on January 25, 19811, and agreed upon the following recommendations. 1. Needs Assessment: 500 containers should be purchased to completely service the downtown and neighborhood business districts. 2. Type of Container: Research by this department and DDA has concluded t at tEere is no manufactured trash receptacle on the market today which meets our standards for aesthetic "—q l ty_as well as the following standards for function and durability: A concrete container is preferable to metal or fiberglass because concrete is substantially more durable and would not need to be removed from the street during hurricane warnings. The Sanitation Department estimated that the metal containers currently in use would have to be replaced 4-5 times within the average life span of one concrete container. An acceptable trash receptacle must have a lid completely covering the container to provide protection from rainwater and prevent large items from being deposited. Openings between the container and lid should be no larger than necessary to accommodate a pedestrian's hand with normal litter. The lid must be securely locked to the container. Page 1 of 3 84-37 Howard V. Gary City Manager March 23, 1984 The inside of the container should be dimensioned to closely fit a standard metal liner, and drainage holes should be provided in the bottom. We are developing two alternative designs for concrete trash receptacles which could be put to bid for custom fabrication. Either of these two alternatives could be produced in a number of colors and finishes, and could be imprinted with the City logo. I. The preferred design was created by Spillis Candela and Partners as a part of their contract for design of downtown people mover stations. This is the one for which r.c have a scale model. and a full scale prototype scheduled to be delivered to City Hall during the iveek of Parch 26. The prototype was produced for testing by the City 4-;i.th part.icui r attention to the hinc,e and locking Modification-) to the design can be made for final production. II. In the event that, the Spillis Candela design cannot be executed, we have been working ;=,,ith DDh on an alternative design, consisting of a simple concrete cylinder base and a metal dome top (drawings attached). We can prepare specifications to bid this design, except that each bidder would have to be responsible for developing an acceptable mechanism for connecting the lid to the base. A third alternative, which was suggested by the Sanitation Department some time ago, is to purchase a metal trash receptacle which is manufactured by the Mills Engineering Company, (see attached catalog description). This receptacle should only be considered as a short term replacement for those existing trash receptacles that must be replaced immediately. It is not recommended as a solution to the need for City-wide business district trash receptacles because of a lack of aesthetic quality and long term durability. 3. Cost of Containers: Following are cost estimates for each of e alternatives: I. Spillis Candela design with concrete lid $400 ea. II. Alternate concrete container design with metal lid $400 ea. Page 2 of 3 84--37 Howard V. Gary City Manager III. Metal receptacle by Mills Engineering Co. $200 ea. 4. Funding Source: The recommended funding source is the 1970 ollution Control Bond Fund. The unaudited balance estimate was $808,935 as of 9/30/83. The purchase of 500 trash receptacles would total approximately $200,000 for either of the two concrete designs. 5. Implementation Time Frame: I. Spillis Candela design testing of prototype , 14 days completion of specs by Spillis Candela 14 days bid procedure 90 days delivery of product after contract award 60-90 days TOTAL 17Z--70$ days ® II. Alternate Concrete design preparation of specs 14 days bid procedure 90 days delivery of product after contract award 60-90 days TOTAL 167-1-91T days III. Metal receptacle by fills Engineering bid procedure 90 days delivery of product after contract award 60-90 days TOTAL 150-1 0 ays* *This time could be shortened to a total of 60 days if only 24 trash receptacles are purchased for a total price under $5,000.
