PUBLIC COMMENT Peter Schmidt, S76 W13925 Bluhm Ct: Address the Consent Agenda Item Resolution #011-2021 — the Award of Bid for Hillendale Road Project. He is in favor of awarding the project to All -Ways Contractors who is qualified to do the project. COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE MAYOR'S OFFICE Mr. Kroeger gave an update of the Great Water Alliance / Waukesha Water Project. By Gingerbread House they are starting the first bore to go underneath that intersection. Permits were approved to do four other bores within the City. They are also on our website now and providing us with construction schedules. In addition, on Thursday, February 18 at 6:00 pm there will be a virtual open house to talk about the construction. PUBLIC HEARING To consider the petition of Wisco Carts & Milwaukee Camper Rental to be granted a rezoning from B-2 - Local Service Center District to B-3 - General Business District for the purpose of allowing the sale and service of new and used golf carts and camper rental on the property. Mr. Trzebiatowski stated that they are looking at occupying the space that was formerly the home of Paradise Pools on Janesville Road off Racine Ave. The reason for the request for rezoning is so that they are treated the same as an automobile sale or service. They will also have a separate public hearing for a Conditional Use Grant at Plan Commission next week. Common Council Minutes January 26, 2021 UNFINISHED BUSINESS Resolution #101-2020 - Approval of Solid Waste Services Contract for 2021-2025 with GFL Muskego, LLC for Refuse and Recycling Collection. On the floor, deferred December 8, 2020. Alderperson Kubacki moved to approve. Alderperson Madden seconded. Mr. Kroeger spoke regarding the contract. • The largest cost is recycling which is $1.50 more per month per household that we pay currently. China and India are no longer taking our recyclables so it is costing most municipalities more just to do recycling. • Weekly trash pickup went up 10 cents. • Yard waste drop off site is $14,000 (it was more expensive 4 years ago) • Refuse/Recycling for schools & City is cheaper now because we consolidated buildings. • The rates will not change at this time for Muskego homeowners. Mayor Petfalski and Mr. Kroeger stated that we are no longer part of the cooperative with Waukesha Co as we were for the past couple of years. As part of the cooperative, Waukesha County would get the DNR grant money, which could be $80,000 - $100,000, to offset their costs with the MRF (materials recovery facility). The City of Muskego is now an "official responsible unit" for recycling which means it can apply for the grant money. • There have been questions regarding whether or not to have recycling pickup once a week instead of every other week. That option is cost prohibitive so one option is to request a larger recycling container (same size as your garbage container) at no cost. An alternative is to request a second container and GFL will bill the homeowner separately at a rate of about $50 a year. • Concerning long driveways, for a cost of $6.45/year a resident can drop their bag at the end of the driveway by the street and the driver will get out of truck to pick it up and throw it into the truck. • Service calls will work better for residents to call for bulk pickups, missed pickups, etc. • Waukesha County is moving forward with GFL to have a household hazardous waste facility for drop off at our landfill. Motion passed unanimously. CONSENT AGENDA Alderperson Kubacki moved to approve the items under Consent Agenda with the exception of Resolution #011-2021.

Alderperson Madden seconded. A discussion followed regarding the two lowest bidders, All -Ways Contractors and Super Western. Alderperson Kubacki asked Mr. Kroeger if All -Ways Contractors had ever done a project like this one (of this magnitude) in the City. A number of years ago, they did the trail on Woods Road, however, they have not done or managed a project (a full road reconstruction project) this big in the City of Muskego. In addition, Mr. Kroeger looked at every project that they submitted; they have not done a $1.5 - $3 million road reconstruction project since 2015 through 2020. Alderperson Wolfe stated that he could not remember the last time we didn't take the low bidder. Mr. Kroeger agreed that it has not happened in his experience here; however, it was mentioned that it has happened. The difference in pricing between the two lowest bidders is $36,450. Alderperson Wolfe asked how it was determined to award the bid to Super Western. Mr. Kroeger stated that he rated by price, project experience, and references. Alderperson Terrence mentioned that he is trusting Mr. Kroeger to make the decision. Mr. Kroeger stated that he is confident that Super Western is qualified to do this work based on other projects they have done in and around the City. Motion passed 4-2 with Alderperson Kapusta and Alderperson Wolfe voting no.
