The Gallatin County Commission voted June 3 to award a contract worth $819,371.24 to Green Mountain Technologies to supply equipment for the Logan Landfill compost facility.

The award follows a recommendation from the county Solid Waste Board, which reviewed two proposals and identified Green Mountain Technologies as the lowest responsible bidder. Jim Simon, Solid Waste division manager, told commissioners the board had vetted the proposals and recommended the contract award.

County commissioners heard no public comment on the contract and approved the award during the public meeting. A commissioner moved to award the contract and the motion carried with verbal “aye” votes from the commissioners in attendance.

The contract was listed on the county’s consent agenda before being brought forward for formal approval; commissioners cleared the remaining consent items and advanced the award on the regular agenda. County staff will execute the contract and move forward with procurement and installation steps identified by Solid Waste.

The decision allows the county to proceed with equipment purchase for the Logan Landfill compost project, which the Solid Waste Board prioritized as part of landfill facility improvements.
