Committee authorizes three-year waste-hauling request for proposals
Summary
The Management Services Committee approved a motion to issue a public RFP for licensed waste-haulers to service county sites for a three-year period, with proposals due July 2, 2026 and inquiries directed to maintenance supervisor Chris Street.
The Iroquois County Management Services Committee voted to issue a public request for proposals seeking licensed waste-haulers to provide specified container sizes and pickup frequencies for county sites.
The committee directed staff to send a letter dated June 9, 2026 asking haulers to submit written proposals by July 2, 2026 to the attention of Jamie Ban, chairman of the Management Services Committee at the address provided in the record. The notice identifies container needs (e.g., one 8-yard rear-load container, one 4-yard rear-load container) and pickup frequencies (some sites weekly, others twice weekly) and includes a contact phone number for Maintenance Supervisor Chris Street.
Committee members reviewed current container counts at county facilities and clarified that jail pickups occur twice weekly while animal control is served once weekly. Members also discussed occasional public-use contamination of county dumpsters.
A committee member moved to request bids for a three-year waste-hauling contract using the listed specifications; the motion was seconded and received voice assent.
The RFP timeline and specification sheet will be finalized by staff; proposers should use the mailing and contact information in the solicitation. The committee did not award a contract at the meeting; this action begins the public procurement process.
