To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
Through: Ron Burton, City Manager
From: Alberto Elefano, P.E., Public Works Director
RE: P.R. 21865: Authorizing the City Manager to purchase litter fences at the Port Arthur Landfill from
Metta Technologies, Inc. of Toledo, Ohio.
Introduction:
The intent of this Agenda Item is to seek the City Council's authorization for the City Manager to purchase litter
fences for the City's Landfill from Metta Technologies, Inc. of Toledo, Ohio for the amount of$111,300.00.
Background:
The City of Port Arthur's Landfill is required by permit,the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ),
and the Texas Department of Transportation(TxDOT)to ensure no windblown litter blows around the site and along
adjacent Highway 73. Litter Fences help deter flying litter from leaving the Landfill's Working Face. Currently,
the Landfill is using fence netting, which is a temporary fix that the TCEQ has allowed until proper fencing is
secured. The TCEQ has informed the Landfill that failure to obtain proper fencing could potentially lead to penalties
and/or fines assessed.
The Purchasing Department advertised for competitive qualified bidders. Bids were opened on February 25, 2021
with four vendors responding. After review, it was determined that Metta Technologies, Inc. of Toledo, Ohio
provided the second lowest responsible bid with the shortest delivery time for the amount of$111,300.00.
Budget Impact:
Funds are available from the Landfill Equipment Account No. 403-50-320-8522-00-00-000.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City of Port Arthur's City Council approve PR 21865 authorizing the City Manager to
purchase litter fences from Metta Technologies, Inc. of Toledo, Ohio for the amount of$111,300.00.
