<br /> <br />2. <br />Dump truck replacement <br />Ms. Ricci asked for a Study Session to review the City’s Capital Improve Plan (CIP). She <br />noted that there is just one big dollar number that includes all equipment, no breakdown. <br />She would like to see this breakdown along with their expected life span. Ms. Ricci asked if <br />the purchase of this truck could be delayed and Ms. Watson agreed but suggested that it <br />could require more repair costs and was budgeted for in the CIP. The bid was given to low <br />bidder, Truck centers/Woody’s Municipal Supply for $81,800. <br /> <br />Mr. Price moved for approval, seconded by Mr. Sharpe and was approved by the majority <br />with two Nay votes from Ms. Ricci and Mr. Crow. <br /> <br />3. <br />Replacement of two (2) leaf vacuums <br />Ms. Watson explained that this would reduce supplementing present leaf vacuums with City <br />sweepers, eventually reducing the number of sweepers needed from five to three. The <br />lowest bidder was Partners Manufacturing Group for $31,000 but background check <br />revealed there have been problems with their service as they are out of Ohio with no <br />representatives in the St. Louis area. It was recommended to go with the next lowest <br />bidder, Old Dominion Brush for $31,024. <br /> <br />Ms. Ricci asked if this could be delayed and Ms. Watson stated that the consultants <br />recommended this as a priority item. <br /> <br />Ms. Ricci asked why there was a line expense for outside contractors to pick up leaves. Ms. <br />Watson stated contractors were used in conjunction with City staff at the height of the leaf <br />pick-ups. <br /> <br />Mr. Price moved for approval, seconded by Mr. Crow and was approved by the majority with <br />two Nay votes from Ms. Ricci and Mr. Glickert. <br /> <br />4. <br />Annual order for office supplies for FY 11 <br />The award was given to Staples who offered higher discounts of the City’s most frequently <br />used 100 items. The first year of the contract last year was for $60,000, and the second <br />year (FY 11) was for $40,750. <br /> <br />Ms. Ricci asked that the Council see more bids go out next Fiscal Year. She thanked the <br />City Manager for reducing this cost by $20,000. Ms. Ricci noted that the City’s award was <br />always to the same company. <br /> <br />Ms. Watson stated that other companies were not able to give the deep discounts on the <br />most used office supplies. <br /> <br />Mr. Sharpe moved for approval, seconded by Mr. Glickert and was approved unanimously. <br /> <br />5. <br />Annual order for police uniforms for FY 11 <br />Only one bid was received from Leon Uniform for $27.506.49, out of eight bids sent. <br /> <br />Ms. Ricci asked that for the next annual uniform order, the City investigate into why they <br />only receive one bid. <br /> <br /> <br /> 2 <br /> <br />
