Garfield opens trash‑service bids; retains CARDS after LRS presentation
Summary
Council opened two trash‑service bids, found required documents missing in one bid, heard pricing from LRS and then approved Resolution 203 to retain the existing contract with CARDS.
The Garfield City Council opened procurement packets for municipal trash service on Nov. 12, heard a presentation from LRS and moved to retain the town's existing contract with CARDS.
Two bids were submitted: Mann's Waste Solution and LRS. Council Member Rambo moved to open Mann's packet; Mayor Gary Blackburn found required documents missing from Mann's submission and then opened the LRS packet. Chris Snyder of LRS addressed the council and provided pricing information.
After discussion, Mayor Blackburn read proposed Resolution 203 to continue the existing contract with CARDS. Council Member Rambo moved to accept Resolution 203; Council Member Smead and Council Member Teeselink recorded yes votes as part of a unanimous approval among the three members present.
The record shows Mann's packet lacked required documentation and the council did not award a new contract to LRS at the Nov. 12 meeting. Officials did not read the full text of the CARDS contract at the meeting; the council's vote kept CARDS as the service provider pending any future procurement actions.
