Prescott City Council Joint Special Meeting/ <br />Study Session — October 21, 2008 <br />Page 5 <br />E. Approval to purchase 95 front -loading containers from Action Container <br />Solutions in the amount of $80,199.95. <br />Mr. McDowell said that this is the City's annual program for replacing the <br />metal dumpsters provided to businesses. He said that they often become <br />a safety hazard, so they like to replace them annually, although they only <br />replace those that need to be replaced, so it is a not -to -exceed amount. <br />F. Award of a five-year contract to Fann Contracting, Inc., for hauling <br />services in the amount of $12.79 per ton, with an amount not to exceed <br />$805,770.00 per year. <br />Mr. McDowell said that this item is for award of a five-year contract for <br />hauling services. Councilman Bell declared a conflict of interest on this <br />item as well as Item H. Councilwoman Suttles noted that they would be <br />pulled from the Consent Agenda. <br />Mr. McDowell said that every five years the City goes out for bids for this <br />service. He said that Fann Contracting was not the lowest bidder, Ash <br />Fork Sanitation was, but they did not have an Arizona Contractors <br />License or a Department of Transportation License which enables the <br />City to check how they are operating. He said that Ash Fork Sanitation <br />was the low bidder five years ago, but were not awarded the contract <br />then. He said that there was a draft contract in the packet and the fuel <br />charge works both ways, benefiting the City and the contractor. Mr. Fann <br />noted that the vehicles would be all diesel. <br />Councilwoman Suttles asked how long Fann Contracting has been in the <br />refuse transport business. Mr. Fann, 450 Whetstine, said that they have <br />been in the hauling business for 48 years, but this is their first venture into <br />hauling refuse. Councilwoman Suttles asked if they would be bidding in <br />other areas. Mr. Fann replied that it was not likely. <br />G. Adoption of Ordinance No. 4673-0916 — An ordinance of the Mayor and <br />Council of the City of Prescott, Yavapai County, Arizona, vacating and <br />abandoning certain municipal rights -of -way which consist of portions of <br />Garden Street and an alley located west of and parallel to Grove Avenue <br />south of Sheldon Street and sell and convey to Prescott College and <br />authorizing the Mayor and City staff to take all necessary steps to <br />effectuate such vacations and abandonments. <br />Public Works Director Mark Nietupski said that this is a request from <br />Prescott College to abandon a segment of Garden Street south of <br />Sheldon Street in the vicinity of Butte Creek and the alley west of and <br />parallel to Grove Avenue between Western Drive and Sheldon Street.
