RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a resolution to award bid #15-64 to Rogers Iron and Metal (RIMCO) for the removal

Division.
BACKGROUND:
Bid 15-64 was released on November 4th and closed on November 23rd 2015. The bid requests

related to the Recycling and Trash Collection Division. The bid was requested in order to
receive the best pricing possible for the recycling service and to develop a system based upon a
national index.

the pricing to a national index the City will receive better and more reliable pricing for the
amounts of scrap metal sold.

includes a renewal option for a 5 year period of time. The operational cost for RIMCO was $89
per pull.
