The City has more equipment than can be garaged, <br />resulting in valuable pieces being stored daily in unsecured areas. Equipment stored in these <br />areas has previously been stolen, and with the delivery of the Vactor and Easement Machines, <br />more equipment will need to be stored outside the garage area. <br /> <br />Staff had budgeted $10,000 for the installation of this fence in 1999. Requests for proposals <br />(RFP's) were sent to three (3) area companies to provide fencing as shown on the attached <br />diagram. <br /> <br />ProDosal Results <br />Public Works received the attached proposals from two of the three companies contacted for <br />fencing proposals. Both companies have installed fencing in City parks in the past. <br /> <br />Those proposals were as follows: <br /> <br />. Century Fence <br />. Modern Fence <br /> <br />$5,948.00 <br />$8,100.00 <br /> <br />Due to the difference in costs, the Public Works Director contacted the Century fence estimator, <br />and asked if their company would recommend any changes to the proposed project. Century <br />indicated they bid the project to federal specifications, and this would work well for the City. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br />The Public Works Director recommends the City Council award Century Fence Company the <br />project for fencing in a portion of the City maintenance storage yard, at a cost not to exceed <br />$5,948.00, which includes sales tax. <br />
