Young, Mayor <br /> City of Santa Ana <br /> 20 Civic Center Plaza <br /> Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br /> Dear Mayor Young: <br /> As a resident of Santa Ana and a businesswoman, I was very <br /> distressed to read the enclosed article in the January 7th <br /> edition of the O. C. Register. <br /> It is inconceivable to me that a municipality the size of <br /> Santa Ana would accept bids from any contractor (regardless <br /> of type) that is incapable of providing the services they <br /> would be contracted to provide. <br /> As Councilman Moreno called them "acorns, " are not equipped <br /> to provide trash service to a City the size of Santa Ana. <br /> No bid should be accepted from a firm not capable of <br /> providing the service. How can they fairly bid if they <br /> don't currently have the operating costs of equipment and <br /> personnel? How can they provide us with the current level <br /> of service if they have no experience in a contract of this <br /> size? We cannot afford to provide on the job training for <br /> trash haulers or any other contractor. <br /> The citizens of this City would not accept the awarding of a <br /> contract to a company that cannot provide the level of <br /> service we enjoy from our current hauler. I know these are <br /> difficult economic times for municipalities; however, <br /> service should also be considered in awarding contracts. <br /> Please remember trash hauling is a "service industry. " <br /> Let's continue to use someone that has proven they have the <br /> experience and ability to provide that "service. " <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Pat Crockett <br /> 3711 So.
