6: 30 p.m.
Large Conference Room
Members present: Chairperson Angel, Wright and Buck.
The agenda, as proposed, was approved.
The unfinished business item of bags for yard waste was brought to the
floor for discussion. At last week' s meeting, John Meyer, Public
Works Director, was instructed to pursue bag purchase options from
each of the suppliers. A summary of those options are as follows:
%RECYCLED ORIGINAL MINIMUM OPTION
SUPPLIER MATERIAL BID PRICE QUANTITY PRICE QUANTITY
Stone Container Corp.
Des Moines, IA -0- $0.2600 144,000 $0.2750 72,000
Set Point Paper Co.
Mansfield, MA 50% $0.2652 120,000 -- --
100% -- -- $0.2600 120,000
Advanced Recycling
Waterloo, IA 100% $0.2749 130,000 -- --
Committee members expressed strong support for 100% recycled material
since it is the City' s intent to conserve and also to provide
customers with the best bag possible. With this in mind, it was moved
by Buck, seconded by Wright that bags be purchased from Advanced
Recycling at the original price of $0. 2749 per bag. Motion carried.
Reconsideration of the Police radio maintenance contract that was
awarded to Iowa Radio Service, Inc. on June 18, 1990, was brought to
the floor for discussion. Radio Communications Inc. requested that
the Finance Committee reconsider its decision and award to them, as
the lowest bidder.
Jane Hambley, representing Iowa Radio, stated that Radio
Communications had not met the bid specifications by providing a
system discount of 20%. They argued that this was not a part of the
specifications. If the discount is considered, then Radio
Communications is lower of the two bids or $937.20 per month. Chief
Koehrsen stated that award of the contract is based purely on
financial considerations and that either company could adequately
perform the work. It was moved by Buck, seconded by Wright that the
Police radio maintenance agreement for Fiscal Year 1991 be awarded to
Radio Communications, Inc. Motion carried.
The request of the Public Works Director for authorization to purchase
a steam cleaner unit for the Water Pollution Control Plant was
reviewed. Quotes were received as follows:
