Cheektowaga board directs clerk to re‑advertise yard‑waste disposal bid after single response

The Cheektowaga Town Board approved Resolution 2025‑300 directing the town clerk to publish a notice to bidders seeking contractors to accept yard waste and highway debris generated in and collected by the town for the remainder of calendar year 2025 through Dec. 31, 2025.

The action matters because it restarts the procurement process for municipal yard‑waste and highway debris disposal after the board said it received only one bid during an earlier opening, giving local contractors another opportunity to submit proposals.

Resolution 2025‑300, identified on the meeting agenda as Bid 2025‑15, calls for the notice to be published in the Cheektowaga Bee. The resolution states sealed proposals will be received by the town clerk at Cheektowaga Town Hall on Friday, May 16, at 11 a.m. The resolution on the agenda lists Council Member Bukowski as sponsor and Supervisor Brian Nowak as second.

Board discussion on the item was brief. Members noted that bids had been opened previously and that only a single response was received, and they moved to re‑advertise to encourage additional competition. The meeting record shows no roll‑call tally for the resolution; the presiding official called for the question and, after members responded “Aye,” the chair declared the motion carried.

After the vote on Resolution 2025‑300, a motion to adjourn the meeting was made and seconded; that motion also passed with an oral “Aye” vote.

What happens next: the town clerk is to publish the notice in the Cheektowaga Bee and accept sealed proposals at the stated location and deadline for Bid 2025‑15. The record does not specify the number of bids received at the re‑advertised deadline or which contractor submitted the earlier single bid.
