Refuse removal RFP being revised; proposals expected before budget adoption hearing
Summary
Town staff are reworking a 50‑page refuse removal RFP (using Scituate’s and Foster’s prior templates) and plan to issue it so bids are due roughly the Monday before the budget adoption hearing to provide pricing for the budget process.
Town staff reported progress on updating the refuse removal request for proposals (RFP). They said they used a template obtained from Scituate and modified Foster’s previous RFP, and that former staff (named Gordon and Kathy in the meeting) had already worked on specific technical questions.
Staff said the document is lengthy (about 50 pages) and that Gordon needs additional time to finalize answers to technical questions. The goal is to have proposals due approximately the Monday before the budget adoption hearing so the council will have vendor pricing when it adopts the budget. "We want it before we adopt the budget...so maybe right around that time so that we can get some real numbers," a staff member said.
No formal vote occurred; staff will continue revising the RFP and circulate materials to council members for review before advertisement.
