Over the years, the <br />City parks have undergone various repairs and improvements, as well as regular <br />maintenance. Along the way, the City has made purchases of assorted products from <br />various vendors to fill the needs at parks. One of those items has been waste <br />receptacles. The City parks currently have a variety of different types of waste <br />receptacles, from heavy-duty, concrete to light-weight, plastic receptacles. The heavy- <br />duty concrete receptacles have proved best to meet the needs of the parks. <br />While the Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 2-807 requires that contracts for City <br />purchases be awarded through a competitive bid process, it allows for the direct award <br />whenever there is only one known or reasonably available source due to proprietary <br />features, which is the case with the specified combination waste-recycle receptacles that <br />staff seeks to procure. Outdoor Creations, Inc. is the sole manufacturer of the specified <br />combination receptacles. The dual compartment receptacles provided by Outdoor <br />Creations, Inc. are made of reinforced tan-colored concrete with stainless steel lockable <br />doors, hardware that is durable, and anti- graffiti protection. The receptacle will include <br />the City Logo and graphics indicating Trash and Recycle. The two compartments are <br />manufactured as one unit with a round top, making it heavy to move, as well as difficult <br />to tip over and remove trash. Trash cans/bags are located inside the units that can only <br />be accessible through the lockable doors.
