ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Donchess
Mr. LaFleur?
Mr. LaFleur
Thank you again. This is for our scrap metal recycling. The only reason why this comes before you guys is
because it is a 3-year contract. Other than that this is a revenue for the City so we are going to make some
money on this stuff. Last year we recycled about 1,400 tons of metal. The formula that was used for all the
companies that bid on the project were through the American Metal Markets. They take the weight they
subtract whatever the rate is at the minute, American Metal’s Market is, subtract the trucking and that’s what
we get for a revenue to the City. The Windfield Alloy was the most favorable for the City when we did a
calculation and we are going to go with them this year.
Mayor Donchess
Alderwoman Klee?
Alderman Klee
Thank you. And just so it looks like there were two bidders on this and they were just slightly higher than the
other one. And the one you also went with is New Hampshire versus Massachusetts too so that also gives
them a boon and | appreciate that. Thank you so much.
