Assembly moves to rewrite solid-waste code, shift operations to contract and adopt RFP procurement

Jan 14, 2026

Borough staff proposed a major rewrite of Title 8 solid-waste code to remove contract-specific language, transition operational details into a new contract effective 07/01/2027, and use a value-based request-for-proposals approach instead of strictly price-based bids; assembly members asked technical and procurement clarifying questions.

Borough staff presented a comprehensive revision to Title 8 (solid waste collection and disposal) at the Jan. 13 Kodiak Island Borough Assembly work session, saying the rewrite will remove operational contract language from the code and instead use a new contract to govern operational details when the current contract expires on June 30, 2027.
