Simpson County adds negotiation clause, homeowner rebate option to waste-collection RFP
Summary
Fiscal Court approved the current waste-collection RFP with edits: remove the phrase "amended and restated" from the franchise title, add a negotiation clause for the successful bidder, and include a provision allowing homeowners to be rebated, refunded or credited for missed pickups when the missed service was not excused.
Judge/Executive Mason Barnes reported the county received correspondence from the City and said the franchise agreement title will be shortened by removing the words "amended and restated." The court voted to approve the current RFP for Waste Collection Services while adding a negotiation clause to permit post-selection language negotiations with the successful bidder.
The court also directed staff to add contract language to enable homeowner remedies for missed trash pickup weeks. Minutes state: "A clause would be put in place to allow the homeowner the ability to be rebated, refunded, or credited for missed week if that week was no fault for weather events and others listed in the contract already." Court members recorded approval by motion and unanimous vote.
