Mount Lebanon reviews contract extensions for refuse, ice melt and paper products
Summary
The board heard presentations on contract extensions: a multi-year refuse and recycling agreement with Republic Services and multi‑year or one‑year extensions for ice melt and paper products; administration recommended approval and will provide clarification on a pricing discrepancy for hand soap.
Mount Lebanon School District officials presented contract extensions for refuse collection, ice melt and custodial paper products at the Jan. 13 meeting and recommended board approval.
The district recommended a multi‑year refuse and recycling contract with Republic Services that lists annual costs for the 2025–26 through 2029–30 school years as $94,392.27 (2025–26), $99,111.88 (2026–27), $104,067.47 (2027–28), $109,270.84 (2028–29) and $114,734.38 (2029–30). The administration described Republic Services as providing both trash and recycling collection under the proposed agreement.
The board was asked to approve a four‑year extension with Pitt Specialty Supply Incorporated for ice melt with pricing shown as $6.85 per 50‑pound bag for 2025–26 and 2026–27 and $7.19 per 50‑pound bag for 2027–28 and 2028–29. The superintendent recommended approval of the extension.
The district also recommended a one‑year extension with Paper Products Company Incorporated for hand soap, paper towels and bathroom tissue. The agenda listed hand soap at $54.62 per case, paper towels (for Foster Elementary and Jefferson Middle Schools) at $107.53 per case and bathroom tissue at $76.60 per case. A board member flagged a discrepancy between the agenda price for hand soap and a lower price quoted in an attachment; administration committed to clarifying which price is correct before final action.
All three contract extensions were recommended by the superintendent; no formal roll‑call votes were recorded in the transcript on Jan. 13. Board members asked clarifying questions about scope (trash and recycling), and administration said it would provide the requested price clarification for the soap bid and proceed with documentation for board action.
