~1 REQUEST FOR ACTION <br />River <br />Ci Council 3.6. <br />AGENDA SECTION MEETING DATE PREPARED BY <br />Consent December 20, 2010 exem Barnhart, Plannin Mana ex <br />ITEM DESCRIPTION REVIEWED By <br />Accept Proposals fox Snow Removal Abatement Services <br />REVIEWED BY <br />ACTION REQUESTED <br />Accept snow abatement proposal from Greenscape, Inc. for snow abatement services fox winter 2010- <br />2011. <br />BA C KG RO U N DI D I SC U S S I O N <br />The City Code, section 4G-34 (a)(8) xequues that sidewalks be kept free of snow and ice during regular <br />business hours in commercial/industrial, and within 24 hours after a snowfall within residential zoned <br />districts. The snow process will follow the grass process: notification, allow fox 14 days (for the first <br />instance), then the City will abate. <br />This year, the City requested bids a bit differently than last year. Last year, we requested bids based on a <br />strict per hoax rate. We found that these numbers may be easy to manipulate. This year, we asked fox <br />bids based on linear feet. We felt this would be easier to predict fox property owners at the end of the <br />year. An advertisement was published in the Star News at the beginning of the month. Receiving zero <br />replies, staff mailed out requests to four local companies directly. <br />The City received two proposals fox snow removal abatement. The City requested proof of insurance <br />and workers compensation insurance and the per 100-foot bid amount. Only one of the bids included the <br />per foot amount. Staff is xecotntxlending Greenscape Companies, Inc., believing that they will <br />satisfactorily meet the requirements at a reasonable cost to the City property owner. Greenscape <br />proposes a rate of $70 per 100 lineal feet, ox $120 per 200 lineal feet. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT <br />None. Fees incurred will be billed to the property owner, and if unpaid, will be assessed to the taxes. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />^ Gxeenscapes Bid (recommended) <br />^ Larson Companies Bid <br />Action Motion by _ Second by _ Vote <br />Follow Up <br />N:\Pub6c Bodies\City Council\Coundl RCA\Agenda Packet\12-20-2010\Memo % 20to% 2000%201LE% 20recommendation% 202010[1J.docx <br />
