In the past two years, accessibility to the landfll has become a point of contention between the two cities. In order to provide better ingress and egress for garbage trucks to the landfill, City staff recommends that an alternate roadway be constructed that will provide unlimited all-weather access to the City's facility. After considering several alternatives, it was determined that the best alternate was to provide access to the Eandfill from l.H. 2t7. The scope of the project consists of the preparation of plans and specifications for the construction of Landfill Access Road fram the City`s southeast landfill weigh station to I.H. 20 and the E.H. 2a Access Road to the Landfill Access Road. DeOtte, Inc., proposes to perform the necessary engineering design and survey work for a lump sum fee of $790,920.OD. City staff considers this fee to be fair and reasonable fray the scope of services proposed. In addition to the contracfi amount, $112,fi09.Oq is required for project management by the Engineering Department. DeOite, Enc., is in compliance with the Gity's MlWE3E Ordinance by committing to 28.% MlW13E participation. The City's goal on the project is 26%. ~ nr.r...rn n.
