Staff believes that within 30 to 45 days we can agree in principle with Waste Management on the levels of service and the applicable rates to provide residential and commercial solid waste removal for North Port. If we are not able to agree on acceptable rates, then we would proceed to 'bid' the service. |
We are recommending that the city determine a rate to which we can compare our projected assessment for next year. The important point to emphasize is that we are seeking rate identification, not a decision on what to do (i.e. in house or contract out) yet. |
We're very pleased with the outcome. It looks like a lot of people waited to the last minute to bid. |
