City awards solid-waste contract to Apache Disposal
Summary
After reviewing two bids, council awarded the city's solid-waste contract to Apache Disposal, citing a lower per-container rate, inclusion of two additional personal containers at no extra charge, two annual cleanups, and new monthly curbside bulk pickup. The award passed unanimously.
Only two bids were received for solid waste service: Waste Connections and Apache Disposal. Mayor Pro Tem Kerry Gutierrez recommended remaining with Apache as the most cost-effective option, citing that "Apache's rate is $3 less per container, allows residents to use up to two additional personal containers at no extra charge, and has not increased pricing from the previous contract, except for a $200 sludge removal fee." She also noted Apache will provide two cleanups per year and new curbside bulk pickup on the first Thursday of each month.
Councilmember Phil Karrer moved to accept Apache Disposal as the City's solid-waste service provider; Jeremiah Burns seconded and the motion passed unanimously. Apache's representative Rudy Garza confirmed new containers would be provided only when a resident's current container is broken.
