DISPOSAL OF 2005 STORM DEBRIS <br />By: Dean Kapler, Public Works Director <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />On September 21, 2005, northern Anoka County experienced a storm that caused substantial <br />damage to property in several cities including Ramsey. The City of Ramsey provided cleanup <br />efforts that included tree and brush pickup from the entire city. Two sites were utilized as drop- <br />offareas, which were the city hall campus and Traprock Park. <br /> <br />Staff is prepared to contract for the final disposal of the debris. This will include grinding on site <br />and hauling away the debris. This will conclude the final step in the storm cleanup. A small <br />quantity of chips will be kept for distribution to the public on the Environmental Expo weekend <br />April 29. <br /> <br />Per state purchasing guidelines projects under $50,000 do not require a sealed bid process but <br />suggest acquiring 2-3 quotes. Staff has received 3 quotes ranging from $17,750 to approximately <br />$40,000. <br /> <br />Funding: <br /> <br />Staffis suggesting the expenditure of $17,750 be split between council contingency and the <br />Public Works operations budget 50/50. A resolution is attached for utilizing $8,875 from council <br />contingency. <br /> <br />Staff Recommendation: <br /> <br />Contract Environmental Wood Supply, LLC for the grinding and disposal of the debris at the 2 <br />drop-off sites for the amount of $17,750. <br /> <br />City Council Action: <br /> <br />Motion to accept/not accept staff recommendation. <br /> <br />Reviewed By: <br />City Administrator <br />Finance Director <br />Assistant Public Works Director <br />Streets Supervisor <br /> <br />CC: 03/14/2006 <br /> <br />-237- <br /> <br /> <br />
