Board rejects Waste Management bid and awards three-year recycling contract to Lakeshore Recycling
Summary
Board rejected Waste Management of Illinois' bid because it included listed exceptions and approved a three-year contract with Lakeshore Recycling Systems to provide waste and recycling services for the district.
The DeKalb CUSD 428 Board of Education rejected a bid from Waste Management of Illinois Inc. and approved a three-year contract with Lakeshore Recycling Systems Inc. of Rosemont to provide district waste and recycling services.
A board member asked, "What part of it was nonconforming of Waste Management's bid?" District counsel and staff answered that Waste Management's submission included a list of exceptions to the bidding package; because of those exceptions counsel advised rejecting the bid. A motion to reject Waste Management's bid and approve Lakeshore Recycling Systems' three-year contract carried on a roll-call vote.
The board directed staff to finalize contract execution and return any required documents to the board office. No further debate on service levels was recorded in the public meeting.
