"The current Capital Improvement Program identifies $30,000 to purchase a crematory for small animals. The Public Works Department now disposes of animals at the refuse incinerator on Frederick Boulevard. However, when that facility is closed about Mayil, another means of disposing of the animals will be required. The attached report discusses the alternatives which were considered. Two bids were received on April 1, 1985, as follows: Amount of Bid % of City Estimates City Estimat~ Southern Corporation Air Pollution Control Products, Inc. $25,000 100% 20,914 84% 16,750 67% The Public Works Director has examined the bids and recommends that the apparent low bid be rejected because it does not meet several criteria, including the capacity specified by the City. He therefore recommends awarding the contract to Southern Corporation. Total project cost is as follows: Contract cost Installation of utilities Total anticipated project cost $20,914 4,086 ~5,000 I recommend that the attached ordinance appropriating $25,000 be approved on first reading and that the contract be awarded to Southern Corporation. Delivery time is estimated at 6 8 weeks fol2owing City approval of the contractor's drawings, It should be noted that the incinerator must meet emission requirements established by the State Air Pollution Control Board. Southern Corporation has indicated that they can certify their conformance with those standards. I also recommend that you establish a disposal fee of $7 per animal delivered to the City crematory and a fee of S10 per animal for each such animal picked up from private businesses and disposed of at the City crematory. The fees are necessary to defray collection and crematory operating costs. These fees will not apply to the Portsmouth Humane Society. An ordinance is attached which would impose these fees."
