MEMORANDUM
T0: Keith Kornelis, PW Director
FROM: Jack La Shot, City Engineer ~~
DATE: October 10, 1985
SUBJECT: SNOW REMOVAL
The following bids were received October 10, 1985:
BIDDER EQUIPMENT FLAT RATE HOURLY
RATE
foster Construction Caterpillar 12 F $1,424.00 $75.00
Coonrod Construction Champion 565DT $1,470.00 $100.00
DJ's Snow Removal Bodge 3/4 Ton Truck $1,000.00 $50.00
Dodge 1 Ton Truck
The Iow bidder, DJ's Snow Removal, proposes to use 4-wheel drive
pickup trucks with blade attachments. Mark Johansen, Street
Foreman, and I recommend that this bid not be accepted for the
following reasons.
1. It is doubtful whether snow could be removed to the width
needed without help from the City. The City would have to
"wing-back" snow berms periodically during the winter,
offsetting any cost savings.
2. The low bidder says to adequately remove the snow he wo~~ld
have to travel 20 mph at all times. This would cause a
safety hazard in residential areas, especially at
intersections.
3. This method would permit snow and ice to build up on the
streets more rapidly than graders.
4. Generally, I don't think as good s job can be done using
this method.
The specifications allow the City some discretion in the award of
the bid regarding the type of equipment to be used.
