City reports single bid for sanitation services; Rumpke proposes $20.75 monthly residential rate
Summary
City officials reported a single bid from Rumpke for municipal sanitation services with a proposed residential rate of $20.75 per month; staff will verify specifications before entering contract.
City officials told the London City Council that the sanitation bid opening produced a single proposal from Rumpke, offering a monthly residential rate of $20.75. The rate, as described at the meeting, would include yard waste and one bulk item per pickup; councilors said Safety Service Director Saltzman will verify that all bid specifications were met before staff proceeds with contracting.
The mayor/presiding officer said three companies were represented at the bid opening but only Rumpke submitted a formal bid. Council members expressed surprise at the lack of additional bidders and asked staff to confirm whether alternate firms requested more time or whether legal constraints prevented extensions.
Next steps: staff will review the submission for compliance with specifications and return with recommendations; council expects the safety service director to confirm bid validity and bring a contract forward if all specs are satisfied.
