SERVICE RECYCLING-JASON STARK

Next Jason Stark, Service Recycling, 514 W 3^rd, Webb City addressed the council about recycling.  They have been in business for 13 years.  They will provide containers to collect card board and paper that will be outside containers.  The City will receive some money for that paper material.  They also have boxes that we can use to collect cans, tin and aluminum but those have to be stored indoors because the boxes can’t get wet, if the City would like to consider that option also.  He is asking that the City sign a 24 month agreement and after that it would be a month to month agreement.  They can also do plastic if the City would like to provide that service.  He does not have the agreement tonight but can get it to Steve so that Mike Talley can draw up an ordinance.  It is on a  voluntary basis and a free service. 

REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF RECOMMENDATION FROM AMA FOR PENNELL SIDEWALK BIDS

The council reviewed Allgeier-Martin’s recommendation on the bids for the sidewalk project.  The low bid was from Bennett Construction for $189,985.  Emery Sapp bid $194,900, Snyder $220,430, Southern $250,891 and Sprouls $209,157.  Steve Daniels asked about the quality of the work that would be performed.  Steve said that they met all the qualifications set by MoDot and the City.  Don Marshall stated that there would be an inspector on the job.  After some discussion about the qualifications of the bidders Steve said that MoDot will require we take the low bidder.  It was asked if we would have to pay the difference if we did not accept the low bid.  Steve would have to check on that.  Steve said that MoDot has to review the bids also and accept them before we can sign a contract.  Bob Cook said that he has a conflict of interest with one of the bidders so he will be abstaining from the vote.  Steve Daniels again expressed concern about the quality of the contractor we pick.  He stated that a city had some sidewalks put in and 2 years later they looked terrible because they were not put in properly.  He is recommending we select Snyder Construction.  There was a lot more discussion about the bids.  Sean Haase asked if we could put a qualifier in the contract.  Steve reminded them that there would be a warranty on the work.  After more discussion Mark Powers motioned to accept the recommendation of Allgeier-Martin & Associate.  Don Marshall seconded.  6 (Zaccardelli, Marshall, Skaggs, Powers, Davey, Haase) in favor.  1 (Daniels) opposed.  1 (Cook) abstained.
