Staff recommends the City Council award the one-year contract with 2 optional one-year extensions for snow hauling to K2 Civil Inc at the amount of $175.00 per hour/truck and driver, not to exceed $160,000 per year.

Public Works utilizes the snow hauling services to supplement Street/Traffic crews with removing snow from the streets to clear snow from streets in a shorter amount of time.  The FY22 snow hauling bid was advertised on October 8th and October 15th, 2021, in the Yellowstone County News and on the City's website.  Bids were opened on October 19th and two bids were received.  K2 Civil Inc. submitted the lowest, responsible bid.

City Council may:

• Approve the contract to K2 Civil, Inc.; or,
• Not approve the contract, which will result in longer lead times for snow to be cleared from streets after a storm.

The City received two bids for snow hauling as shown below:

Vendor	Hourly price for truck and driver
K2 Civil, Inc	$175.00 per hour/truck & driver
Knife River Inc.	$179.50 per hour/truck & driver

Snow hauling is in the approved FY22 budget in the amount of $160,000 using Street Maintenance District funds.
