Council tables Waste Innovations contract; seeks more time and public review
Summary
The council considered a proposed contract with Waste Innovations (Win/Wind Waste Innovations) for municipal waste collection but ultimately tabled the item so members could review the full contract and allow for public comment at the next meeting.
Councilors discussed a proposed solid-waste contract with Win/Wind Waste Innovations (vendor name as listed in packet) during the April 22 meeting but chose to table action to the May 13 meeting.
Town staff said negotiations had been underway since last October and that the proposed contract largely follows the municipality's standard terms and the model used by neighboring communities. Staff noted only one other bidder (Casella) had submitted a higher bid and that the vendor group offering the lower price was limited. Councilors asked for a copy of the signed contract to be included in the public packet and discussed possible alternatives such as municipal collection.
A councilor moved to table the item to the next meeting; the motion passed 4-0. Staff committed to placing the contract in the next packet and to offering the matter for public comment when it returns to the agenda.
