City to hike commercial sanitation fees and bids rebid
City Commission voted to raise commercial sanitation rates after a study by Black & Veatch showed residential users paid more. New rates charge $18 for the first large bin and $15 for each additional bin, or $35 for the first daily bin and $30 for each extra. Bids on three projects were rebid as two exceeded estimates. Constant Construction Co. submitted the lowest base bid for a water storage tank site at 19th Street and Kasold Drive, while paving and sewer contracts were awarded to Constant Construction and Hankamer Asphalt Co. The panel moved funds from parking meters to cover overruns and approved right of way acquisition for K-10 improvements.
