<br />Due to the great differenced in cost and service, this year, bids were only <br />obtained from Great Lakes Weather Service. Staff also believes that the services <br />provided by Meteorlogix are in excess of what is actually needed by the City and <br />the benefit does not justify the cost. <br /> <br />Great Lakes Weather Service is offering a three-year contract for the 2003 to <br />2006 winter seasons. The cost of this contract is $1500, payable in one <br />installment or three installments of $525, payable by November 1, of that <br />calendar year. <br /> <br />As previously mentioned, the City has used Great Lakes Weather Service since <br />1996 with great satisfaction. Staff is therefore recommending that Council award <br />a contract to Great Lakes Weather Service. <br /> <br />The 2003 adopted budget has $800.00 in funds allocated for professional <br />services in the Snow and Ice Department of the General Fund (Account No. 100- <br />4472-3030). <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends that the City Council approve a contract with Great Lakes <br />Weather Service for the 2003 to 2006 winter seasons. The cost of this contract is <br />$1500, payable in one installment or three installments of $525, payable by <br />November 1, of that calendar year. <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Greg Lee, Director of Public Works Reviewed by City Administrator:___ <br /> <br /> <br />
