ITEM 7: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO A
REQUEST TO SOLICIT BIDS FOR CONTRACTING RESIDENTIAL REFUSE
SERVICES TO A PRIVATE VENDOR
Mr Carr said that bids have been received and opened on a new refuse collection vehicle.
Because of the high cost of the vehicle, staff believes that it is appropriate to evaluate the overall
costs of providing residential refuse collection services. Part of that evaluation will include
privatizing the refuse collection and disposal services. Bid specifications and contract documents
will be completed, advertised and mailed to potential vendors. Services in the specifications will
include all services that the city is now prorividng. All bidders for the new refuse collection
vehicle have agreed to extend their bids to the end of July, to allow time for responses and
evaluation of those responses for private vendors. It is expected that a final recommendation
