City to issue RFP for trash service as three-year contract nears expiration
Summary
Staff told aldermen the city’s three-year contract with Constable Sanitation expires at the end of 2026 and recommended issuing an RFP to maintain current service levels (weekly pickup, monthly bulky pickup, yard waste) while seeking competitive bids; staff said the city serves about 2,200 accounts.
Staff told the board the city's three-year agreement with Constable Sanitation expires at the end of 2026 and recommended issuing an RFP to solicit competitive bids while keeping the current scope of service. "We service... almost 2,200 accounts each month," staff advised, emphasizing the priority of keeping resident rates low and retaining weekly trash, monthly bulky collection and yard waste options.
Board members suggested including optional spring/fall dumpster days (a past program supported by a donated dumpster and a real-estate agent) and asked staff to add specialty pickup pricing to the RFP. Staff said bidders such as Constable Sanitation, GFL, and other vendors would be invited and that the RFP will present the city's current level of service as the scope to bid against. The board approved the resolution to post an RFP for trash collection services.
