Summary

Council approved a three-year amendment to the existing yard-waste management contract with Blue Ribbon Organics, covering approximately 4,500 tons per season at an estimated value of about $390,000.

The Common Council approved Resolution 2025‑2968 to amend the existing contract with Blue Ribbon Organics for continuation of yard-waste management services.

City staff explained the amendment covers an approximately three‑year extension and estimated collection of about 4,500 tons of yard waste in spring and fall seasons. Dave (city staff) said the vendor from Caledonia has provided the city services since February 2016 and responded to competitive RFPs in 2016 and 2021. Staff cited an approximate three‑year contract extension amount of about $390,000.

Council moved to approve the extension and passed the motion by voice vote.

Staff said the vendor processes material and markets the compost; the city uses programmatic procurement processes and competitive solicitations for the service.
