City of Ramsey <br />15153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 · (612) 427-1410 <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />REGARDING: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />David R. Hartley, City Administrator <br /> <br />James Gromberg, Project Manager~r'~ <br />Recycling Containers for City-Wide Curbside Program <br /> <br />July 24, 1990 <br /> <br />On July 24, 1990 the City had the bid opening for the containers for the Curbside Recycling <br />Program. Of the companies that entered bids, two were within six cents of each other per <br />container. The attached table illustrates the comparison of the two containers and how close <br />they met lhe specifications for the program. Both of the containers meet the test of fitting three <br />grocery bags inside the container. However, the Lewisystem container achieves this easier then <br />the Piper Casepro container. <br /> <br />The main difference between the containers is the delivery time from the placing of the order. <br />As the Table shows the Lewisystem container would take four weeks and the Piper Casepro would <br />take approximately six to eight weeks. The later delivery would seriously limit the ease in <br />which the containers could be delivered to the residents. <br /> <br />I would suggest that the City purchase the containers from the Lewisystem Company for the <br />Curbside Recycling Containers at $4.66 per container. I have attached a resolution for the City <br />Council requesting this action. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br /> <br />
