CC Regular Session <br />Date: 03/22/2011 <br />By: Jim Way <br />Police <br />Item #: 5. 14. <br />Information <br />Title: <br />Authorization to Seek Proposals for Abatement Services <br />Background: <br />The City of Ramsey has been using local vendors for abatement services that include mowing and blight <br />"clean-up". The contract that the City had for mowing has expired and the "clean up" contract will expire in June. <br />Abatements have increased over the past year and the recent rise in home foreclosures in the City adds to the <br />locations needing mowing and "clean-up". To expedite the abatement process, staff is asking for authorization to <br />seek proposals for contracted abatement services. Separate proposals for mowing and "clean up" have been <br />completed. A notice will be published in the Anoka County Union once a week for two weeks beginning March 25, <br />2011. The deadline for proposals will be April 15, 2011. The notice will also be mentioned and available on the <br />City Web Site. Vendors that are currently known to staff will be sent a proposal by mail. <br />Notification: <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends authorization to seek proposals for abatements services- mowing and clean-up. <br />Funding Source: <br />Administration- posting of a public notice in the Anoka Co Union twice <br />Council Action: <br />Motion by City Council to authorize staff to formally advertise for "Request for Proposal" <br />for abatement services (mowing and "clean-up") with the intended purpose to secure a contract with vendors <br />for one year. <br />Mowing RFP <br />Abatement Clean up <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Jo Thieling Jo Thieling 03/15/2011 11:35 AM <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 03/16/2011 11:23 AM <br />Form Started By: Jim Way Started On: 03/09/2011 11:41 AM <br />Final Approval Date: 03/16/2011 <br />
