Title
Portable Toilet Contract Cancellation
History
The three year bid for the Rental of Portable Toilets and Service was awarded in December 2010. Three firms bid on the work and Drop Zone Portable Services, Inc was the lowest responsible bidder and was awarded the contract. That contract is scheduled to terminate on November 30, 2013, but can be terminated by either of party for default upon failure to cure after ten (10) days prior written notice. The Village may terminate this Contract with thirty (30) days prior written notice at any time.
Over the past two years the Parks Department and Recreation Special Events staff have had concerns with this company regarding special event pricing. It is our recommendation that we not renew their contract for the year 2013, and go out for a new RFP on portable toilets that asks for separate special event pricing but allows the Village to negotiate with other providers for events as needed.
On November 5, 2012, this item was reviewed and approved by the Parks & Recreation Committee and referred to the Village Board for approval.
Financial Impact
None at this time.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve cancellation of the year 2013 contract from Drop Zone for the Portable Toilet bid.
