County to issue RFP for additional landfill equipment repair contractors

Aug 11, 2026

Cowlitz County staff will solicit a list of qualified contractors to maintain CAT equipment at the landfill, supplementing the current local provider and the county mechanic to reduce service gaps during breakdowns or staff absences.

The full story

Staff told the board they will issue a request for proposals to establish a roster of vendors qualified to service Caterpillar equipment at the county landfill. The goal is to supplement the existing local contractor (Peterson Cat) and the county’s lone landfill mechanic to avoid delays when the mechanic is unavailable or multiple machines break down.
