Mr. Banwart stated that experience has shown that two-man crews appear to yield the <br />maximum number of manhours in relationship to the dollars. In reviewing the bids, City <br />Staff determined that the City could get 881 hours of manhours for $24,000 with a two- <br />man crew; based on the lowest one-man bid, the City would get 640 manhours for <br />$24,000. <br /> <br />Councilmember DeLuca noted that City Staff's evaluation of the bids assumes that two <br />persons will do twice as much work as one person. <br /> <br />Carol Dahlske from Outside Services was present and indicated that her experience has <br />shown that the production level is higher with one-man crews than with two-man crews. <br />Carol also noted that the specs for the brush chipping program are misleading because they <br />indicate the bids will be evaluated on a lump sum basis, not by crew numbers or manhours. <br /> <br />Mayor Reimann noted that on a lump sum basis, Outside Services was the low bidder for <br />the brush chipping program. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember DeLuca and seconded by Councilmember Cich to rescind <br />Resolution #90-05-137 awarding the brush chipping program to Asplundh Tree Expert <br />Company. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
