Staff recommends GFL for three-year waste and recycling contract
Summary
After an RFP, staff recommended keeping GFL as the district's waste and recycling provider; GFL submitted the lowest-cost bid and is the incumbent, with estimated annual service cost around $49,000 and budgeted line near $60,000.
District staff reviewed responses to a three-year RFP for waste and recycling collection, noting bids from Waste Management, Palletier and GFL. To compare proposals consistently, staff standardized assumptions (monthly dumpster rental, tip fees and per-ton costs) and said GFL, the incumbent, returned the lowest estimated annual cost and a satisfactory service record.
Committee members asked whether the quoted $49,000 is per year and staff answered that $49,000 is the estimated cost per year and the district budgets about $60,000 annually to allow for heavy project-related tip costs. The committee supported moving the contract recommendation to the full board.
