Council notes higher energy proposal and asks staff to explore sealed bids for trash services

Orchard City Council · May 13, 2025

Summary

Council noted an increased energy proposal received May 2 and reminded members that the city's energy contract expires May 31, 2026; members also discussed looking into sealed bids for trash services and possible reduced OCC daytime rental rates.

Mayor Matt Perreault told the council an energy proposal received May 2 showed increased costs and reminded members the current energy contract ends May 31, 2026; the item had been tabled previously on Aug. 21, 2024 and council asked staff to look into options. The minutes also note a request to look into sealed bids for trash services as part of broader utility and service procurement considerations.

The council discussed potential reduced OCC daytime rental rates (for events such as baby showers) and that staff is preparing a three-month budget as the city considers a fiscal year change; the next meeting was set for June 9, 2025. No formal procurement actions were taken at the meeting; staff follow-up and competitive bidding were proposed for future consideration.
