Olinger also stated that the bid for the door had not been clearly specified in the bid specifications as to its location on the building and was not bid correctly. Because the door was to go on the side of the building, rather than an end, different material was needed. Olinger stated ge gave each bidder the opportunity to amend their bid with this clarification and the following are the amended bids. Lesters $18,485 Langers 17,675 Tom DeMuth 15,737 Morton 16,487 Menards 16,875 Holst 20,769 Olinger stated that although the lowest bid received was from Tom DeMuth, a private contractor from Paynsville, DeMuth does not have a standard building, and provided no specs with his bid.

Maintenance Foreman Dan Olinger has scheduled the first Saturday in May which is May 2, 1987. Olinger suggests that the City Council raise the unit rates by $2.00 for all types except dump trucks. His rationale for this recommendation is that the rates have been reasonable and have not changed since 1984, whereas the cost to the City for dumpster rental has been steadily increasing. Also, the dumpster rental rate may rise significantly, due to the change in solid waste operations and haulers costs as a result of the Refuse Derived Fuel Plan in Newport. The idea behind the proposed rate increase would be to allow the City to cover its
