Transfer Station Operator Contract Renewal - Mr. McQuaid stated, "We are eligible to renew the contract on an annual basis." "We also have the prerogative to take it out to bid on an annual basis if we are not satisfied with the performance of the contractor." "The contract as of yesterday through the end of June 1999 increases from $290,800.00 to $315,780.00." Mr. Cram relayed, "We do need a container with a cover for the bulky waste." Mr. Bail questioned, "Are we allowed to stock pile this in a closed area or do we have to haul it out?" Mr. McQuaid responded, "There is nothing in writing yet from the D.E.P.." "I think a lot of landfills around the southeast region are facing the same situation." "I have been researching where we can purchase a roll-off container, in the mean time I don't think D.E.P will have a problem with us stockpiling it near the transfer station." Mr. Bali commented, "We're going to have to charge the residents for disposal of the bulky waste." Mr. McQuaid commented, "We should request Mr. DiMaggio to attend an upcoming meeting to discuss this matter."
