County opens single hauling contract bid from Evergreen Disposal; staff to review

Lincoln County opened bids May 6 for a county hauling contract and received one submission from Evergreen Disposal. The bid summary presented to the board showed a proposed year‑one total of $441,000 with 5% rate increases in years two through five.

Commissioners agreed to give staff time to review the bid package for technical compliance with the RFP and directed the auditor/administration to place the item on the next meeting agenda for potential approval.

Why it matters: hauling contracts are a recurring county procurement related to waste management and public works and carry multi‑year budget implications; staff review is needed before any award decision.

Next steps: procurement staff will evaluate Evergreen Disposal’s bid documents for RFP compliance and report back to the board at the next meeting.
