CARDBOARD RECYCLING DUMPSTER — STUDENT REQUEST TO PLACE
DUMPSTER ON TOWN -OWNED PROPERTY.
Libby Evans, President of the EPHS National Honor Society (NHS), requested approval
to place a 20' cardboard recycling dumpster on Town -owned property. Possible sites
identified were the Hwy 34 frontage between the Park Shop and The Chamber OR
Stanley Park adjacent to Fourth Street. Waste Mgmt. will donate a dumpster and the
NHS will monitor the site for trash and periodically remove the cardboard and transfer it
to the Safeway store. Safeway has agreed to receive, bale, temporarily store, and
transport the cardboard to a distribution point in Denver. Any proceeds from the
recycling project will be donated to the NHS.
Staff explained that the Hwy 34 frontage location would not be appropriate for a
recycling dumpster. However, a container could be placed in the Stanley Park area
adjacent to Fourth Street near the bulk water dispenser. The NHS recognizes that the
project's success depends on good management by its members and the Town could
request removal of the container should problems arise. The NHS did contact Waste
Mgmt., Safeway, and the School District (Dr. Kastendieck) to discuss use of their
properties for this project. None approved the request.
Discussion was held regarding transportation logistics, optional sites, NHS
responsibilities, and advertising.
The Committee recommends approval to place a cardboard recycling dumpster in
the Stanley Park area adjacent to Fourth Street for a trial period until June 2002
as outlined above. The NHS will coordinate delivery of the dumpster with Waste
Management and Director Linnane will provide a status report at the June 2002
Committee meeting.
2001 WATER LOOP PROJECT — CHANGE ORDER REQUEST.
Director Linnane reported that during the bidding process of the 2001 Water Loop
Stanley Circle Project, 394 linear feet were mistakenly omitted from the bid quantity
sheet. As a result of this error, the Kitchen and Company bid should be increased by
$22,458 for a total of $180,420. This error does not impact the outcome of the bid as
Kitchen and Company remains the low bidder and sufficient funds are available.
The Committee recommends approval of the change order in the amount of
$22,458 submitted by Kitchen and Company.
