Bid out our towns garbage contract

#7: Guest - Re: Re: My two cents 

 If the facts you make in this comment are true then the only test is to put this contract out to bid. No one in this  "small group" is saying Republic can't bid right along with anyone else. You "can" compare us to other communities. Competitive bidding of this contract would certainly tell us if you're right in what you claim..... wouldn't it. How much would that cost Lowell? If the winning company can't preform well then out they go just like the one before Republic. The issue is not who gets the bid, it's who offers the best price. A Repsonsible Bidding Practices Ord. passed in 15 that requires Lowell to bid and accept the lowest bid in the best interest of the Town on Captital Improvement project. When having the opportunity, Why wouldn't you do the same when you make us use a garbage co. and then make us pay what you don't even try to get the best rate for?
