Garbage Committee
Laurel, MT 59044
ATTN: Mr. Don Myers
Mr. Myers:
I would like to thank this committee for allowing us to submit
these proposals pertaining to the collection and disposal of
all garbage in the City of Laurel. It is our intention to
provide the same quality of service that the residents and
businesses have had in the past.
As you will see in these proposals, our intentions are to keep
the cost t"e same to residents and businesses for the next
• five years by contracting with the city of Laurel for a yearly
fee. Any excess gross revenue could be channeled into your
city fund. To explain this in more detail, the city is
collecting approximately $233,000.00 per year for garbage and
disposal serv4.ce compared to Proposal #1 at $187,900.00 per
year for collection and disposal, leaving a difference of
$45,100.00 or Proposal #2 at $184,100.00 per year, leaving a
difference of $48,900.00. WP realize the City of Laurel will
have some administration and billing costs, but we feel that
over a five (5) year period the city will have a surplus in
their city fund.
In the proposals, we would purchase the City of Laurel's
equipment. Because of the difficulty in estimating the
equipment value, we have based the cost upon appraisals by
dealers. The two existing garbage trucks at $31,000.00 for
both, the 9551 Cat at $14,500.00 and the Bolmage at S23,500.00.
These proposals do not include the purchase of all existing
containers. The purchase of this equipmen± can be done two
ways. Complete total buy out on all existing pquirment or a
purchase agreement thru the city on a four(4) year contract
with a !guy out at the fifth year.

It would be necessary for us to enter into a five (5) year
contract on either proposal. Please understand that these
are proposals and that we realize the City of Laurel will
have to put this up for bid. Because this is a proposal
that could lead to a future bid, your complete confidentiality
would be necessary to enable us to submit a competitive bid.
Please find enclosed the above mentioned proposals #1 and #2.
Sincerely, 7

PROPOSAL #2
In this proposal we intend to haul all garbage collected to the
City of Billings landfill and to provide all necessary equipment
to operate a transfer site which can be used by the residents of
Laurel who wish to haul their own. This would allow the City of
Laurel to close their existing landfill. This transfer site could
located either at the existing City of Laurel landfill or possibly
the city yard. It would be necessary for the City of Laurel to
build the proposed transfer site. The approximate cost for a
transfer site is $8000.00. We have already mentioned t"at all the
equipment would be supplied by us.
All provisions from Proposal #1 apply, including:
1. Total cost of City of Billings landfill charges are included
in this proposal.
2. Enter in to a five (5) year contract, the first two years at
the yearly cost bid and three, four and five will be unchanged
except V the City of'Billings landfill charges become
. excessi .-
3. If at anytime during the length of proposed contract, the
City of Billings landfill charges become excessive, we can
go to Proposal #1 using the City of Laurel landfill.
