Mr. Daryl Hendricks asked if someone from the administration wishes to
speak to this.
Ms. Sarrah McNeil stated that this was done as RFP2023-10. It was
advertised on March 3, 2023. On April 3, 2023, the public opening was
held and the city received five proposals. The Evaluation Committee held
both technical and cost evaluations. The proposal was evaluated on the
ability to meet the RFP requirements and after all evaluations were
conducted, the committee decided not to hold oral interviews. The
committee made the recommendation to award based on the firms
qualifications and overall score. The committee is recommending to award
to AW Trucking as the primary vendor and they are also a minority owned
business and stage as a secondary vendor.
Mr. Daryl Hendricks thanked Ms. McNeill and asked if there were any
questions from his colleagues. He stated that it is kind of self explanatory.
The need for the training is obvious. He asked if there were any questions
or comments from the public.
