MAYOR and CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
DATE REFERENCE SUBJECT: Purchase Landfill Tarps from J &M PAGE
NUMBER Industries Inc. of Poncatoula, LA for the
10/23/12 403-1274- Amount of $10,500 for Alternate Daily Cover 1
533.92-00
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend that the City Council approve the purchase of 4 landfill tarps from J &M Industries, Inc.
of Ponchatoula, LA for a total price of $10,500. Funding is available in account number 403 - 1274 - 533.92 -00.
BACKGROUND
Landfills are required by State and Federal law to cover with 6" of soil or an approved Alternate Daily
Cover (ADC) at the end of each workday. Currently the City Landfill uses landfill tarps for the ADC to
minimize airspace loss. Landfill tarps are a highly specialized material offering fire protection, rodent control,
erosion control, and windblown litter control and have a life expectancy of 6 months. The tarps purchased last
January need replacement at this time.
Only one manufacturer of landfill tarps is approved in the City Landfill's permit and they were added in
1994, so bids are not available. A permit amendment to add other manufacturers would be at a considerable
expense to the City and would take an estimated 2 -3 years to complete.
BUDGETARY/FISCAL EFFECT
The total cost of the 4 landfill tarps is $9,980. Freight is estimated at $250, so we are including $520 for
freight for a total of $10,500 to cover any unforeseen shipping charges, with funding available in account 403-
1274- 533.92 -00.
EMPLOYEE /STAFF EFFECT
This purchase will enable the landfill staff to maintain TCEQ compliance, while minimizing wasted
airspace.
SUMMARY
We recommend that the City Council approve the purchase of 4 landfill tarps from J &M Industries, Inc.
of Ponchatoula, LA for a total price of $10,500. Funding is available in account number 403 - 1274 - 533.92 -00.
