Gadsden council adopts resolution awarding 2025 disaster debris removal on-call contracts to three firms
Summary
Council voted to adopt a resolution awarding bid 3600 for 2025 disaster debris removal on-call contracts to CTC Disaster Response Inc., DRC Emergency Services LLC and McMichael Waste Services LLC, with bidders to be scheduled in lowest-price rotation.
The Gadsden City Council adopted a resolution awarding bid number 3600 for the 2025 disaster debris removal on-call contract and authorized awards to three firms: CTC Disaster Response Incorporated, DRC Emergency Services LLC and McMichael Waste Services LLC. The council’s resolution directs that the lowest responsive bidder be scheduled first; if unavailable or additional crews are needed, the city will rotate to the second and then third lowest bidders.
Council members clarified the contracts will be activated only in the event of an actual natural disaster or debris event that overwhelms the city’s public works capacity; the contracts serve as a backup to public works. The city engineer recommended formalizing the on-call rotation to ensure rapid response capability. Council voted to adopt the resolution; the clerk recorded the ayes and the motion carried.
No amendments or follow-up assignments were recorded in the meeting minutes for this item. The resolution provides the city an established procurement route for debris removal during disasters and does not itself authorize immediate expenditures until a qualifying event occurs.
