ISSUE STATEMENT

RESOLUTION

 

BACKGROUND

 

During the year the department generates waste from various Public Works projects, such as water main breaks, valve and hydrant replacements, landscape restorations and ditching projects.  The waste is temporarily stored at the Public Works facility and requires removal. The trucks are then scheduled, filled by City loaders and the waste is hauled to a local landfill.

 

Competitive quotes were requested for hauling services and Staff received four (4) competitive quotes.  See Attachment A. The lowest competitive quote was DAS Enterprises Inc.  The request for quotes stipulated that pricing be held in place from May 1, 2010 through April 30, 2011.

 

The expenditure would come from the Water, Street and Capital accounts, depending on the specific project generating the waste. The total estimated costs for all maintenance and budgetary programs for hauling are pending Capital Project budget approval.   References for DAS have been verified with satisfactory responses.
