Sunbury to advertise new trash‑hauling contract with three‑year term
Summary
City staff told the Services Committee that the current trash contract with Local Waste expires March 31, 2025; the city will post the bid on its procurement page and advertise in the Delaware Gazette, seeking a three‑year contract with two one‑year extension options.
At the Jan. 8, 2025, Services Committee meeting, city staff said the City of Sunbury will solicit bids for a new trash‑hauling contract after the current agreement with Local Waste expires on March 31.
Kate (staff member) said the request for proposals will be posted to the city procurement page on Friday and will be advertised in the Delaware Gazette. The staff presentation stated the city seeks a three‑year contract with the option to extend twice for an additional year, and that staff will return to the committee with a recommendation for council approval after evaluating proposals.
Why it matters: Residential refuse collection affects routine city services and household costs; the committee will review proposals and make a recommendation to City Council before the contract award.
Key details: the contract is planned to begin April 1; staff intends to follow the same advertising protocol used in 2020 (two notices in the local paper) and will brief the Services Committee on selected proposals prior to the council award action.
Ending: Staff said a contractor recommendation and formal council action will follow the bidding and evaluation process.
