Motion/Request:
title
MOTION to authorize a bid waiver for Willimantic Waste Paper Co., Inc. (Casella) for Bid No. 2025-08 (Oversized Bulky Waste Removal) due to lack of three bids, in accordance with Ordinance #200-001 (rev 1) “An Ordinance for Purchasing”.

Background:
The Town bids out for bulky waste removal services at the Transfer Station every two (2) years. As has been the case the last several times, we did not receive three or more bids. Of the two we did receive, Willimantic Waste Paper Co., Inc. (Casella) was the low bidder versus CWPM over the 2-year period. The formula from the bid spec yielded $166,680 for Willimantic Waste versus $168,000 for CWPM, based on the details of their respective offerings.
The proposals for each are attached along with the bid tabulation sheet. Also attached is the bid determination calculation spreadsheet.
Department Comment/Recommendation:
I recommend approval of a bid waiver to Willimantic Waste Paper Co., Inc. for bulky waste services in accordance with Bid No. 2025-08.
Finance Director Comment/Recommendation:
