Board approves two-year extension for Flood Brothers waste-hauling contract
Summary
The Hampshire Village Board approved a two-year extension to its contract with Flood Brothers, keeping existing pickup and event services and applying a 3% annual rate increase; trustees said timing and a lack of staff capacity influenced the decision to delay a competitive bid.
Hampshire — The Village Board voted to approve a two-year extension of its waste-hauling contract with Flood Brothers, maintaining existing services for scheduled pickups, community events and the new public works building.
Board members and staff said the extension was recommended because the timing of contract expiration and recent staff turnover would make a competitive procurement difficult before services were needed. Staff told the board that Flood Brothers has been a reliable partner for community events and routine service, and that the proposed addendum keeps the contract terms while applying an approximately 3% annual increase.
Clerk staff and trustees reviewed service coverage, noting the contractor will continue event support and new-site pickups. Trustees said they have not seen frequent complaints about the vendor; one member described the proposed rates as “in line” with prior expectations. Staff also told the board the contract historically included a multi-year base with renewal options; the board exercised the two-year option at this meeting and agreed to consider a formal bidding process at the end of that term.
The board moved and seconded the authorization to execute the two-year addendum; members indicated support and the motion carried. The village did not provide a detailed vote tally in the record available in the transcript.
Votes at the meeting also approved routine items such as minutes, accounts payable and surplus-property disposal that preceded the contract decision.
