Alliance awards $48,680 refuse-container contract to Snyder Refuse
Summary
Council accepted Snyder Refuse of Lincoln, NE's bid of $48,680 for refuse containers and discussed why Snyder was the sole bidder and whether lids or full units should be replaced. Public Works Director Grant explained parts availability and rust on older metal containers.
The Alliance City Council accepted the bid of Snyder Refuse of Lincoln, Nebraska, and awarded the contract for refuse containers at a bid price of $48,680.00 as part of Resolution No. 26-06. The resolution was included on the consent calendar and approved by unanimous roll call.
Vice Mayor Mashburn asked why Snyder was the only respondent to the solicitation. Public Works Director Grant said the city typically sends bids to three companies and "Snyder Industries is usually the only respondent." Grant added that whether the city replaces only lids and pins or whole containers "depends on the age and condition of the unit," noting older metal containers often rust and parts become unavailable.
