Commission awards green-waste processing contract to Universal Waste Systems
Summary
The county awarded RFP 26-01 to Universal Waste Systems for green-waste handling and processing, with per-yard rates and a lump-sum on-site processing option; managers framed the contract as strategic for on-call fire mitigation and debris management.
The Board approved an award to Universal Waste Systems, Inc. for RFP 26-01 covering handling, processing, and disposal of green waste. The contract includes per-cubic-yard rates from $22.50 for trimmings and chips up to $40.00 for large tree trunks and an on-site processing option priced at $75,000 for the first 20,000 cubic yards.
CPO Nick Morerod explained the county received one responsive proposal after advertising and said the vendor offered grinding, air-curtain burner processing and fire-mitigation services. Manager Jason Burns described the contract as strategically important for on-call debris management and fire mitigation, clarifying that the contract's costs apply to county-level services rather than resident disposal rates. The motion to approve RFP 26-01 passed unanimously.
