MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS l0 <br /> FROM: MARY SAARION, DIRECTOR <br /> PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY <br /> DATE: MARCH 8, 1990 <br /> SUBJECT: RECOMMENDATION TO AWARD THE BID TO WMI SERVICES OF <br /> MINNESOTA FOR PORTABLE RESTROOM FACILITIES AND <br /> SERVICES TO THE PARKS <br /> Specifications for portable restroom facilities and services was sent to five <br /> metropolitan companies. Three bids were returned. The bids are incredibly close, <br /> within a $50.00 price range from high bid to low bid. WMI Services of Minnesota <br /> (Port-o-Let) is the low bid. All three bids fall within the budgeted amount. The City <br /> used the services of WMI two years ago. Complaints were received regarding their <br /> cleaning services. When this complaint was communicated to the operations manager, <br /> a new service driver was assigned to our units and the service improved. I have <br /> discussed this concern with Mr. Jeffrey Peltier, Operations Manager, and he has <br /> assured me that the cleaning services will be top notch. WMI currently has service <br /> contracts with the Minneapolis Park system, Hennepin County Parks system and <br /> Washington County Parks system with good references from each agency. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: To award the bid for portable restroom facilities and service to <br /> the parks to WMI Services of Minnesota as budgeted in fund 100-4360-356-000. <br /> MS/SL <br />
