Summary
A GFL Environmental representative told commissioners the company would like another opportunity to bid on landfill hauling after turnover at the corporate level, and commissioners directed him to work with Public Works to submit a proposal.
Matt Sanders, representing GFL Environmental, addressed the Linn County commission during public comment and asked for an opportunity to provide a proposal for solid waste disposal hauling work.
Sanders acknowledged past mistakes by the company and said corporate-level turnover had affected local pricing and operations. He asked whether commissioners would be "entertained" to receive a proposal or long-term contract and offered to work with county staff to present numbers. Commissioners and staff directed Sanders to coordinate with Public Works Director Jesse Walton to gather information and bring a joint proposal back to the commission.
No formal procurement action was taken at the meeting; commissioners instructed staff to work with the interested vendor and return with any qualification or recommendation at a subsequent meeting.
