City of Centerville <br /> Council Meeting Minutes <br /> May 23,2018 <br /> refrain from attempting to modify their submitted pricing as that portion of the process has been <br /> completed. <br /> Council requested that Administrator Statz give a recommendation for a hauler to secure. <br /> Administrator Statz stated that due to pricing he would recommend Republic Services as their <br /> submitted proposal would save residents approximately $44,000 over the period of the five (5) <br /> year contract. Administrator Statz stated that their pricing for a 30 gallon container was higher <br /> than Waste Management's which may be difficult for those residents that recycle, are on a fixed <br /> income or have a smaller family. However, over the period of the contract residents would be <br /> saving approximately $44,000 for services offered by Republic Services. <br /> Council Member King desired to clarify whether proposals were for the exact same services <br /> offered to the City currently and Administrator Statz concurred. <br /> Mr. Jason Hartman, Waste Management, stated that they have been the City's hauler for 15 <br /> years, many of the drivers employed with the firm have been the same since the beginning of the <br /> contract, they take pride in the services offered and appreciate the opportunity that has been <br /> provided to them for the contracted period. <br /> Ms. Beverly Mathiasen, Municipal Services Manager Republic Services, thanked the City for the <br /> opportunity to submit a proposal, she stated that they currently service Shoreview and Arden <br /> Hills along with 20 other cities and seven (7) counties. She stated that they take pride in the <br /> services they provide, are environmentally responsible, are a waste partner rather than a waste <br /> hauler/provider, have a facility in Blaine where they have held a safety title higher than the entire <br /> nation. Mr. Brian Schuller, General Manager Republic Services, stated that they are eager to <br /> become a part of the Centerville community and spoke highly of their safety record by stating <br /> that they are 46% safer than the national average. <br /> Lengthy discussion ensued regarding rates, services received in the past and relationships built <br /> with the current hauler. Opportunities for both haulers to submit proposals in five (5) years, <br /> necessity of negotiating contract language with either hauler and the necessity of the City's <br /> hauler to not only meet expectations but exceed expectations. Discussion ensued regarding <br /> commencing a contract with the ability to address an additional extension if need be and <br /> continued Friday pickups. <br /> Motion by Council Member Love, Seconded by Council Member Montain to Authorize <br /> Staff to Negotiate and Execute a Contract with Republic Services. <br /> Brief discussion was had regarding authorization for Staff to negotiate and execute a contract <br /> with Republic Services.
