A Motion to table this item was made by Council Member Drake and seconded by Council Member Lancaster. Motion carried, 6 ayes — 0 nays. 24. Discuss and award a bid to the lowest responsible bidder(s) for collection and disposal of ice storm debris and receive update on removal of debris. Mr. Godwin said twenty -two bids were received and he was recommending TNT Disaster Services, because they were the low bidder with $3.43 per cubic yard. Mayor Hashmi said he had concerns with the RFP specifically, how the cubic yards of brush was calculated. He wanted to know if it would be cheaper to chip prior to hauling the debris. He also said there was no dollar amount of insurance required in the RFP. TNT owner Tara Painter addressed the Mayor's concerns and informed City Council it would cost more to chip, it would take longer and the City would be disqualified for reimbursement from FEMA. Ms. Painter said TNT could clean up the City in three weeks and would leave a truck behind to catch up with the stragglers. Ms. Painter said she estimated they City had about 45,000 cubic yards.
