RESOLUTION

 

BACKGROUND

 

During the year the department requires stone to be used for various Public Works projects, such as water main breaks, valve and hydrant replacements, road shouldering, storm sewer and ditching projects.  The proposed resolution would allow the City to pick up stone from the quarry.

 

Staff had received one (1) responsive competitive quote for the pickup of stone at a per unit cost. See Attachment A.  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 Street Water and Capital accounts, depending on the specific project requiring the stone.  The total estimated costs for all maintenance and budgetary programs requiring stone are pending Capital Project budget approval.
