City Council <br /> Page 2 <br /> I certainly would recommend to you that the procedure of entering into <br /> this extension of the time for the contract to run is in the best <br /> interests of the City since it answers the financing problem of the <br /> contractor in the renewal of his truck fleet, which in turn will tend <br /> to improve, or at least certainly maintain, the standard of service <br /> for the people of the City. Additionally, I would call to your atten- <br /> tion that the present contractor has performed quite capably during <br /> the entire period of his service except for the first six months when <br /> he was getting adjusted to the problems involved. In fact, the number <br /> of complaints per month from householders regarding the quality and <br /> standards of the company' s services are considerably lower than at any <br /> time in our prior experience. In other words, we feel that we have a <br /> competent contractor who does need assurance of the continuation of <br /> his contract in order to maintain a high level of equipment for the <br /> service of the people of the City, and that the price structure which <br /> the City pays to him under the contract is in fact very favorable in <br /> comparison to other cities in Orange County. A comparison of the <br /> prices paid by other cities to their contractors is not attached hereto, <br /> but has been distributed to the Council. <br /> Carl J Thornton <br /> City Manager <br /> Attachments <br /> e. <br />
