Marion County is seeking bids for the purchase and delivery of various sizes and types of waste containers in accordance with the specificaƟons provided in this solicitaƟon.

PART 1: COMPACTOR RECEIVER BOX SPECIFICATIONS

1.1 40 CUBIC YARD (CY) HEAVY-DUTY OCTAGON COMPACTOR RECEIVER CONTAINER

Chamber Profile: Heavy-duty Octagon shape design uƟlizing an angled floor-to-wall and wall-to-roof contoured profile. This geometry must be engineered to create a rolling compacƟon cycle that eliminates dead corners, maximizes high-density payload distribuƟon, and allows packed material to slide out cleanly during dumping.

MaƟng ConfiguraƟon: Engineered with a universally compaƟble opening (measuring approximately 46” High x 65” Wide) to securely mate with a standard 2-3 CY staƟonary compactor bezel frame.

Floor ConstrucƟon: Minimum 1/4-inch heavy-duty structural steel plate floor, precision welded to withstand severe high-pressure fricƟon.

Side Walls & Roof: Heavy 7-gauge structural steel plate contoured panels forming the octagon break lines.

Main Rails (Understructure): Structural tubing measuring 2” x 6” x 1/4” thick main sills fiƩed with a solid steel bullnose and heavy-duty front nose rollers.

Cross-Members: 3-inch structural steel channel sills spaced on maximum 12-inch centers for absolute floor support under maximum packer thrust.

Longevity Enhancement (Breaker Bezel Reinforcement): The front-entry mouth of the octagon receiver box must be reinforced with a conƟnuous 4” x 4” x 3/8” structural steel angle perimeter frame to prevent metal deformaƟon or tearing from repeated maƟng/unmaƟng with the compactor bezel.

Rear Door & Latch Assembly: Heavy-duty 3/16-inch steel door plate reinforced with structural perimeter channel framing. Must feature a severe-duty 3-point mechanical lever latch locking system with an integrated safety chain operated exclusively from the safe ground posiƟon on the driver's side.

Door Hinges: Minimum of three heavy-duty cast/fabricated hinges with 1-inch solid steel hinge pins. All hinges, door guide pins, and ground rollers must include recessed grease fiƫngs (zerks) for field servicing.

Ground Wheels & Guide Rollers: Two rear heavy-wall ground rollers (minimum 8” diameter x 6” width) and two front ground rollers equipped with machined axles and internal grease fiƫngs.

PART 2: SQUARE-TYPE OPEN TOP CONTAINERS (20, 30, & 40 CY)

2.1 GENERAL UNDERSTRUCTURE & FRAME STANDARDS (COMMON TO ALL SIZES)

Design Profile: Standard rectangular/square profile uƟlizing heavy external structural side stakes. Smooth, sloped nested "tub-style" walls are explicitly rejected.

Floor Sheet Material: Heavy-duty 1/4-inch single-piece steel plate floor layout.

Side Wall Material: Minimum 7-gauge high-strength sheet steel sides and front.

Main Sills (Rails): One-piece 2” x 6” x 1/4” structural steel main tubing rails running the full length of the container understructure, capped with solid steel bullnose assemblies.

Cross-Members: 3-inch structural channel sills arranged on strict 12-inch centers across the enƟre length to eliminate floor "washboarding" from heavy material impacts.

Pull Hook: 1-1/2 inch solid steel pull hook completely welded through the front floor plate structure into a heavy-duty sub-frame hook plate.

Side Posts (Stakes): Heavy-duty 3-1/2” x 6” structural steel verƟcal side posts arranged on maximum 24-inch centers across the enƟre length of the container walls.

Longevity Enhancement (Weep Holes): Every verƟcal side post must be fabricated with a V-notched weep hole at the absolute base of the channel. This configuraƟon enables rapid internal moisture drainage, halƟng structural corrosion and premature wall post rusƟng.

Top Rail (Cap): Rugged 5” x 3” x 3/16” rectangular or structural tubing top rail cap completely surrounding the upper perimeter of the container box.

Longevity Enhancement (Corner Wraps): The intersecƟon of the front sheet and side walls must feature an integrated 10-gauge structural corner wrap overlay. The front sheet must be bent a full 90 degrees to allow an extended overlay seam, prevenƟng corner weld cracking under high-torsion hoist maneuvers.

Rear Door Framing & Latch: 7-gauge steel door sheet reinforced by heavy structural box secƟons. Tailgate securement must uƟlize an ANSI-compliant slam-lock or verƟcal liŌ-handle cam locking system featuring ground-level driver's side operaƟon and integrated safety holding chains.

Hinges & Rollers: Heavy-duty bar stock hinges with 1-inch minimum solid steel pins.

Rear wheels must be heavy-wall pipe assemblies measuring a minimum of 8” diameter x 6” width. All pivot points must be fully greaseable via integrated zerk fiƫngs.

PART 4: OPTIONAL COMPONENT SPECIFICATIONS

4.1 PERMANENT MODULAR SLIDE-ROLLING DUMPSTER LID SYSTEM BY THE ROLLING LID

COMPANY OR APPROVED ALTERNATE

Procurement Flexibility: This rolling lid system may be ordered as an integrated opƟon pre-installed on the container prior to delivery, or ordered separately as a complete field-assembly kit for retrofiƫng by company personnel.

In the event of field damage, individual plasƟc panels or specific galvanized track segments must be individually replaceable without requiring the removal or replacement of the enƟre master lid framework.

PART 5: FINISH, COATINGS, AND SAFETY COMPLIANCE

Surface PreparaƟon: All containers must be completely scraped, ground smooth, blasted free of weld slag or mill scale, and thoroughly cleaned inside and out.

Primer CoaƟng: Apply a uniform coat of high-solids, rust-inhibiƟng primer to all interior and exterior steel surfaces to achieve a complete moisture barrier.

Top Coat Paint: Finish exterior surfaces with a minimum of one heavy coat of industrial-grade, low-VOC enamel paint in a standard dark industrial green color.
