Item No. 16-016
Date: November 23, 2015
Item/Subject: ORDER, Authorizing Purchase of a Sterilizing Autoclave in the Amount
of $118,900.
Responsible Department: Airport
Commentary: This Order will authorize the purchase of a sterilizing autoclave from Bondtech
Corporation from Kentucky for $118,900. This purchase was approved as a capital item in the
Airport's FY 2016 budget, for a cost of $75,000. The Airport has identified the additional funding
sources needed for this purchase.
The airport is required by US Department of Agriculture to properly sterilize regulated garbage
removed from aircraft arriving from countries outside the United States. Without a USDA
sanctioned method of sterilizing regulated garbage, the Airport would be unable to accept most
international flights. The Airport has been utilizing a sterilizing autoclave for the past 30+ years,
however this existing unit has now exceeded its useful life and no longer meets USDA standards.
The unit is currently out of service.
This order was recommended for passage by the Finance Committee at its November 16, 2015
meeting. As the contract award is in excess of $100,000, it requires approval by the City
Council.
