Council awards municipal hauling contract for tires and manure to Dirty Boy Sanitation at $33.74/ton
Summary
After evaluating bids, Rawlins staff recommended — and council approved — awarding municipal solid waste tires and manure transport to Dirty Boy Sanitation at $33.74 per ton. Council discussed past temporary arrangements and options for manure reuse.
The Rawlins City Council approved a staff recommendation to award the municipal hauling bid for municipal solid waste (MSW), tires and manure from the Rawlins Municipal Transfer Station to Dirty Boy Sanitation of Rawlins at $33.74 per ton.
Council member Zenger moved to award the bid and the motion passed; staff explained Dirty Boy Sanitation submitted the lowest bid among responsive offers. Council approved the award with six yays and one not present.
Public discussion and staff comment explained that the city lost its previous municipal hauler about six months ago and had a temporary arrangement with Black Hills Cattle Company. City staff thanked Black Hills for interim service and said the current recommendation followed evaluation of qualifications and pricing. Staff presented Blackburn (another bidder) pricing as higher ($45.25/ton MSW; higher for tires/manure), and Dirty Boy Sanitation as the low bidder at $33.74/ton.
Council members asked whether the city would again be charged to haul manure to Casper; staff said the prior hauler had an arrangement with a rancher to remove manure for free, but that arrangement is not guaranteed under the new contract and hauling to Casper remains an option if needed.
Ending: The contract award was approved and staff will finalize contract details with Dirty Boy Sanitation. The council vote was recorded as six yays and one not present.
