<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mike2633, post: 10348649, member: 117804&quot;]I told the city I’m in they bring it back in house, I’ll apply and work my way up to refuse department director and then maybe Service Department Forman. </p><p><br /></p><p>I know a couple of the city councilors and they know who I am. I don’t think the mayor knows me but we have met before.</p><p><br /></p><p>The woman who is the councilor for ward 4 I like her I think she’s a real leader. She thinks it’s refuse over haul time as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>Right now the price per house is bid so outrageously low they can’t say no they just can’t say no, but that’s not now until forever, the price skyrockets $200,000 a year In 2022 which will be just enough money to totally negate any savings they have had.</p><p><br /></p><p>What happens is Republic and all of them bait and switch. They give a stupid low price for a few years and the politicians get hooked on it like cocain and then after the city has long forgetten they used to do the garbage them selves and all the old timers have gone away and the city has sold there bought and paid for assets off for pennies on the dollar, the companies sky rocket the price.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Then the city says oh F you will rebid and then the other companies all bid way high and the city has 3 bids none of which are acceptable and after public outrage they choose the cheapest of the high bidders. In some midnight sweet heart deal. Meanwhile, there’s some one at city hall looking at the numbers going, F we signed a 5 year contract for 1.5 million a year. In 3 of those years we could have bought our own equipment and by year #4 had it paid off and and bought a new truck 2 new trucks&nbsp; again in that same 5 year span. I bet our city if they really wanted to could probably match $800,000 a year maybe a bit more, but I bet they could do that price and the difference is Republics price will only go up where the cities price kind of flattens out after a while. That’s what I was told by the council lady. Plus there’s an aspect of hiring local people who live and work in the community. As it stands now you hire local people the money stays here.</p><p>You hire Republic it goes out of state and poof it’s gone. And they send in a bunch of gun for hire truck&nbsp; CDL B and some A drivers Who are all chasing a pay check or squabbling for an Automator, Roll Off or Front Load commercial job.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
