RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Council reject the bid for the Landfill Household Hazardous Waste collection.
BACKGROUND (Consistency with Adopted Plans and Policies, if applicable)
The City of Billings Landfill operates a Household Hazardous Waste facility to accommodate disposal of certain items from residents inside city limits. Items accepted for disposal are paint, oil, pesticides, car batteries, antifreeze, etc. This operation and contract ensure that these items are not disposed of in the landfill. The bid was advertised on June 10, 2022, and June 17, 2022, in the Yellowstone County News and on the City's Website. Bids were opened bids on June 21, 2022, and one bid was received. Staff has determined that there are additional vendors that could bid the project and would therefore like to re-bid the project to encourage a more competitive process. Thus, staff is recommending that Council reject the bid so staff can rebid the contract.
