TAKING OUT THE TRASH To dispose of debris from construction sites, the City Council is expected to hire Saied Trucking Co. at a tune of $230,000 a year.
Saied will respond to routine requests and emergencies on a 24-hour basis, seven days a week and work specifically for the wastewater sections of City Hall’s environment and public works management department.
Thirty-two applications for the job were mailed in November of last year. Three were received and evaluated based on pricing, annual usage, responsiveness to bid requirements and references. Saied Trucking was chosen as the best option, a city staff report states.
Since the fiscal year has begun, City Hall will only be responsible for $161,000 of the contract’s first year.
