Council authorized a Midwest Source well contract not to exceed $1,207,992 for a high-speed grinder at the compost site; staff said the new unit replaces a 2011 model and offers a strong trade-in value.
Council approved a contract with Midwest Source for a high-speed grinder at the city compost site for an amount not to exceed $1,207,992, funded through capital outlay. Public works staff described the grinder as a vital piece of equipment that initiates decomposition and replaces a 2011 model that has reached the end of its useful life.
Explaining the need, staff said the grinder is essentially a high-speed pulverizer and that the city expects a substantial trade-in value from the 2011 unit. The motion to approve the contract carried by voice vote after staff outlined operational benefits and replacement rationale.
