It is recommended that the City Council award the 2010 bid for repairing/refurbishing of commercial refuse
containers for the Public Works Solid Waste Division to Double W Services of Meridian, Texas in the
estimated amount of $25,000 with funding available in FY2010 Account No. 403-1273-533.42-00. In April

Advertisements for bids were published on February I5, 2009 and February 22, 2009, and eleven (11) potential

Since 95%+ of the containers that need to be repaired require only replacement of rusted out bottoms,
