Canfield council OKs five‑year leaf pickup agreement after single‑bid process
Summary
Council adopted an ordinance authorizing the city manager to enter a five‑year leaf pickup contract after the city received a single bidder; the agreement allows limited annual increases, as described by staff.
Canfield City Council adopted an ordinance authorizing the city manager to enter into a five‑year contract for the city’s leaf pickup service, following a single‑bid procurement process.
Mayor Dragish read the ordinance authorizing the manager to execute the agreement and moved for passage; the motion was seconded by a council member who identified himself as Mr. Tish. City staff explained the prior two‑year agreement had expired and the new contract bid produced only one bidder. The contract terms as described in the discussion allow a price increase of up to 5% (staff characterized the increase as “up to 5% per year” with additional language referenced about a larger increase in the final year under alternate terms). Staff said the overall increase was modest compared with the prior contract.
Council approved the ordinance on the first reading after dispensing with the requirement for two readings. No further financial details (contractor name, annual dollar amounts) were specified in the discussion on the record; staff indicated the bid process and percentage increase during the meeting.
