He added that at least six manu- <br />facturers of biodegradable bags were invited to bid, and two companies (the <br />last two on the list) responded; however, their prices were by far the most <br />e~pensive (two to four times higher). <br /> <br />Mr. Price moved approval of the Arrow Industries bid of $57.48 per 1,000, for <br />a total of $129,091.46. Mr. ~s seconded the motion. <br /> <br />Mrs. Sc. human asked if this price will hold for the entire year, and Mr. Ollen- <br />dorff said it would. In response to Mrs. Thc~oson, he said testing showed the <br />bags to be of the same quality as in the last two or three years. Mrs. Th~- <br />son said she thought residents were satisfied with that quality. Mayor Majer- <br />us asked about delivery time, and Mr. Ollendorff said bag delivery would re- <br />sume the first week in July. Mrs. Schuman ewpressed disappointment that the <br />biodegzo~ahle bags were not more om,~etitive in price with the regular plastic <br />bags. Mayor Majerus agreed. <br /> <br />All voted Aye. <br /> <br /> <br />
