Committee reviews waste‑hauling bids and approves claims; vendor choice accepted

At its July 6 meeting the Iroquois County Management Services Committee opened bids for county waste hauling and approved the county's claims docket.

The chair read out competing bids for service frequencies and container sizes. For the administration building an 8‑yard container with once‑weekly pickup was listed as approximately $109 per month and twice‑weekly pickup as approximately $159 per month in the bid read aloud by the chair; 4‑yard containers for the courthouse and animal control were listed at about $69 per month (once weekly) and $119 per month (twice weekly) in the same bid. A second vendor (based in Piper City) listed the 8‑yard once‑weekly at $250 and 4‑yard once‑weekly at $175.

Committee members discussed dumpster sizes and service frequency (noting animal control and the courthouse require more frequent service) and agreed to proceed with twice‑weekly pickups at the listed locations. A motion to accept the recommended vendor was made and seconded; transcript shows affirmative votes and the chair circulated documentation for signatures.

Following the procurement action the chair requested a motion to approve claims. A motion was made, seconded and the committee approved the claims list; the transcript does not contain a detailed roll call or individual vote tallies.

The committee did not record the formal mover or seconder names for the waste‑hauling motion or the claims motion in the transcript; staff will complete any required procurement paperwork and proceed with vendor onboarding.
