City reports single sanitation bid accepted; residential trash pickup rate listed at $20.75

City staff told the London City Council that the May 21 sanitation pre-bid meeting drew several attendees but only one firm submitted a formal proposal. The administration and law director reviewed the submission and "formally accepted the bid," the city reported during staff updates.

The transcript spells the bidder's name inconsistently (appearing as "Rumpky" and later as "Rumkey"). Staff said they will meet with the bidder to coordinate a transition plan. The administration reported the proposed residential trash pickup rate in the contract is $20.75 per month for a three-year term with an option for two additional years at the city's discretion.

Separately, council revisited a prior concern about disposing of a city dump truck (discussed under Resolution 135-26). Members asked that a mechanic perform a condition review before moving forward with disposal; staff agreed to arrange an inspection and report back.

No final council vote on the sanitation contract was recorded in the meeting minutes; the administration indicated it had accepted the bid pending transition coordination with the vendor.
