Resolution to Approve a Professional Services Agreement with The Mannik & Smith Group, Inc., for the Landfill Scale and Entrance Improvements Project - RFP #18-08 ($111,165.40)

All trucks entering and exiting these facilities must be weighed. Currently the scale, built in 1995, is located at the City's MRF, so all trucks must travel to the MRF to be weighed before and after loading or unloading material at their respective facilities. The location requires additional travel for all trucks and customers utilizing the solid waste facilities.
This project will replace the existing scale that has reached the end of its useful life, with a new scale along the entrance from Platt road. The new location will reduce truck travel and improve site security. The new scale will enable unattended operation with monitoring from the Wheeler Operations Building, improving overall operational efficiency.
