- Discuss Regional RFP for Trash, Recycling, and Compost Services for Transfer Station & Recycling Towns
Bob and Peter outlined their efforts in obtaining copies of invoices and contracts (if applicable) for Transfer Stations and Recycling towns. The initiative is to offer one RFP (Request for Proposal) to align the towns on contract dates and/or hauling. WSWMD would be the lead solicitor spearheading the RFP but not negotiating for the individual towns, nor would WSWMD hold the contracts.
Bob requested that each town’s Select Board inform him in writing of their willingness to participate in the multi-town Requests for Proposals (RFPs). He also asked that each town designate a representative, who could be the Board of Supervisors (BOS) representative, and that this individual be approved by their Select Board. This representative would be responsible for representing and negotiating on behalf of their town.
The towns would not have to participate but this initiative but would offer an opportunity for the towns’ contracts to be aligned.
- Executive Session: None
- Other Business: None
- Next Meeting: Topic to be added to the March 13, 2025 BOS Meeting Agenda
- Adjournment: The meeting was adjourned at 10:55 AM
