to <br /> • Should the County be deemed the successful bidder, it will be necessary for the Board of County <br /> Commissioners(BOCC)to approve the agreement between the Town and the County. Staff has <br /> briefed the BOCC and has received no indication of opposition or concern to our submitting this <br /> proposal and entering into a service agreement with the Town. <br /> • The County will be ordering a new front loading truck if awarded the bid,however,the truck will not <br /> be bid until August and ordered until September 2002. Therefore,we are unable to provide a <br /> manufacturer guarantee of delivery. The County, if awarded the bid, is formally requesting that the <br /> Town provide it's existing front loading truck to the County at no cost so that the collection service <br /> may be begin most expeditiously. <br /> • Re: Bid Proposal form,Section l: D.—It is unclear what certification could be provided as evidence <br /> that the County is certified for doing business in the state other than the statement in Section 1: D. <br /> above.

We believe that since 620/9 of the customers receive once/weekly collection <br /> that your base level of service is actually once/weekly collection. We think that assuming the base <br /> level of twice/weekly will result in lower costs for those who receive twice/weekly collection,but <br /> proportionally more for those who receive only once/weekly collection. As you can ace from our <br /> proposed prices,there is no penalty or differentially higher cost for a higher(more frequent)service <br /> level <br /> • Insurance certificates will be submitted when/if the County is awarded the bid.
