City Decides To Put Garbage Contract Out For Bid. Something Talbert Refused To Do Last Time.

According to the latest City council packets and Manager’s report:

Request for Proposals (“RFP”) for Solid Waste providers has been prepared, reviewed and published for interested parties. The City’s current trash provider’s contract expires in May 2025, however; due to the lead time required on equipment and materials, Council will be asked to consider awarding the contract in July. The City has based the award requirements on “best value” as provided for in Local Government Code 252.022
