The document is a memorandum from the Sanitation Director of the City of St. Petersburg to the Purchasing department. It discusses a make or buy analysis regarding the decision to purchase and operate a yard waste grinder. The analysis concludes that it would not be cheaper for the city to own and operate the equipment. The cost analysis includes factors such as depreciation, maintenance costs, fuel, truck tractors, operators with benefits, and loss of return on investment. It is recommended that the city does not own and operate the grinding equipment due to high maintenance and the need for skilled and attentive operators. The document also mentions that other cities and counties that previously operated their own equipment ended up contracting out the service within two years.
