Ramsey is requesting to some of their present customers. Mr. Fredricks <br />stated that CBM would be providing a person at Ramsey City Hall an average <br />of 4 hours per day and acting as Ramsey's representative in contracting out <br />non-routine items, the expenditure for which must have the City's prior <br />approval. Councilmember Cox stated that Mr. Fredricks approach could be <br />viewed as a sales pitch and is inappropriate unless the other bidders are <br />allowed to do the same. Councilmembers DeLuca and Pearson agreed that <br />hearing Mr. Fredrick's explanation of CBM's alternate proposal would be an <br />unfair advantage but if there is a possible benefit to Ramsey, the <br />explanation should be heard or the case tabled and all 3 bidders invited to <br />present their proposals to Council at another meeting. Mayor Reimann and <br />Councilmember Sorteberg noted that Council just received the information <br />this evening and building and grounds maintenance is significant enough an <br />item to merit a special meeting of Council to hear from all the bidders. <br />Councilmember Cox reiterated that CBM did not respond to all requirements <br />of the bid spec. Mr. Fredricks stated that CBM was advised they could <br />submit au alternate proposal along with the minimum requirements of the bid <br />specs. Councilmember Cox questioned CBM's rate of $926/hour and Mr. <br />Fredricks proceeded to explain that rate. Mr. Fredricks noted that a <br />response of 4 out of 40 suggests there was some cofusion as to how to <br />respond to the bid specs. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cox withdrew his motion and Councilmember Pearson withdrew <br />his second. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Cox and seconded by Councilmember Pearson directing <br />the City Attorney to review the legal merits of CBM Industries' bid for <br />building and grounds maintenance; that the bids be reviewed by Council <br />again on August 11 and that bidders may be represented at that meeting. <br />Further, that staff provide councilmembers with a copy of the bid specs. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
