r~ity of <br /> <br />iver <br /> <br />ITEM 5.4. <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br /> Mayor and City Council <br /> <br /> Kendra Lindahl, Zoning Assistant ~ <br /> May 6, 1996 <br /> <br /> Garbage Service for City Facilities <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />Since 1987, the City of Elk River has contracted with East Tonka Sanitation <br />for garbage and recycling services at all city facilities. Staff felt it was time <br />to revise the contract to reflect recent changes in city facilities and parks, and <br />to see if we were getting the best service for our money. Staff updated the <br />list of facilities and sent all 10 licensed haulers in Elk River a request for <br />proposals (RFP). We also placed a public notice in the Star News stating <br />that we were requesting proposals for garbage service. <br /> <br />On Friday, April 26, 1996, we received proposals from 4 haulers: Pretzers <br />Sanitation, Best Disposal Services, Ace Solid Waste, Inc. and East Tonka <br />Sanitation. We are currently paying $1422.88 a month for garbage service. <br />The following proposals were received: <br /> 1. Pretzel's Sanitation was the low bid at $970.33/mo. plus tax <br /> 2. Best Disposal Services at $1,185.00/mo. plus tax <br /> 3. Ace Solid Waste, Inc. at $1,375.50/mo. plus tax <br /> 4. East Tonka Sanitation at $1,474.00/mo. plus tax <br /> <br />I have checked references on Pretzel's Sanitation and we feel that they will <br />be able to provide the needed services to the city. Pretzers Sanitation is a <br />small company located in Ramsey. They have serviced Fridley City Hall for a <br />number of years, and Fridley is very happy with the service provided. <br />Pretzel's Sanitation will take all of our garbage to the RDF plant in Elk <br />River. <br /> <br /> S:\PLANNING\KENDRA\CCGARBAG.DOC <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
