<br />CASE I ' <br /> <br />RESUL TS FROM CUL-DE-SAC SNOW PLOWING RFP'S <br />By: Grant Riemer PW Streets Supervisor <br /> <br />Back ground: <br /> <br />At the October 20th Public Works Committee meeting staff was given direction to advertize for <br />request for proposals to include snow plowing services on two of our seven cul-de-sac routes. <br />The purpose of the case was to see if an outside contractor would be more cost effective than <br />using on call temporary plow drivers. The RFP was posted in the Anoka Union for two weeks <br />and was mailed to approximately twenty local contractors. The deadline was December 1 st and <br />the City received eight proposals. <br /> <br />Of the eight bids received, the lowest bid was from Kevin Maloney Construction at <br />$49.00/hour/vehicle. The remainder of the bids received ranged from $65.00-$79.00 per hour <br />depending on vehicle used. Two of the bids received only listed one truck and would not have <br />been able to complete the workin the time allowed, which is 8-10 hours per route. The <br />contractor would be replacing two of our on call snow plow drivers that currently plow these <br />routes using city equipment. <br /> <br />The cost to use on call plow drivers to complete the routes is based on several factors. Hourly <br />wage ($ 12.00/hour), equipment costs ($26.46/hour based on figures from the MnDot rental <br />tables) and average fuel costs $56.60 (20 gallons@ $2.83/gallon). Based on these numbers the <br />cost of a normal 8 hour shift would be $364.28. For Mr. Maloney the cost would be <br />$392.00/route, per truck. With the costs being so close staff would like to explore the use of a <br />contractor to see what the true advantages and disadvantages would be. <br /> <br />Reco.mmendation: <br /> <br />Staff recommends the award of the cul-de-sac snowplowing contract to Kevin Maloney <br />Construction for the 2009-2010. <br /> <br />Action: <br /> <br />Motion for staff to enter in to a contract with Kevin Maloney Construction for plowing two cul- <br />de-sac routes for the 2009~.2~ I 0 snow s~n. ~-'.'." <br /> <br />Reviewed by: ~{; (.
