Boyce awards three-year trash contract to Freedom at $9.25 a month
Summary
The Boyce Town Council selected incumbent provider Freedom for a three-year trash contract at $9.25 per month; the competing RWB proposal started at $7.89/month but included 5% annual increases. The council voted 6-0 to approve the contract.
The Boyce Town Council voted on June 3 to award a three-year municipal trash contract to incumbent provider Freedom at a flat rate of $9.25 per month.
Council discussed two bids. Freedom offered a three-year proposal at $9.25/month for each of the three years. A competing bid from RWB offered a 36-month contract starting at $7.89 per month but included a 5% price increase each year. Councilmember Floyd Hudson asked whether there had been complaints about Freedom’s service; the Town Administrator responded, "not that I'm aware of." After brief consideration, Floyd Hudson moved to accept Freedom’s three-year proposal; Councilmember Berkeley Reynolds seconded. The motion passed 6-0.
What council recorded: the motion to accept the Freedom proposal was made and seconded; the recorded vote tally was unanimous (6-0). The transcript does not include additional contract terms (collection frequency, service start date, or late-fee provisions), which staff will need to finalize during contract execution.
Next steps: The Town Administrator is to execute the contract with Freedom and report contract execution to the council.
