HB 1286 would allow request for proposals for solid waste contracts. The bill authorizes a town or a city other than Indianapolis to enter into a contract for the collection and disposal of solid waste through a request for proposals process instead of an invitation for bids process. Establishes a request for proposals procedure under which a town or a city other than Indianapolis may enter into a contract for the collection and disposal of solid waste. This bill was introduced in response to the issues that the City of Fort Wayne has had with their contracted hauler and would allow municipalities to weigh other factors and not be forced to accept the lowest bid.
On Jan 20, 2022 the bill passed out of the IN House of Representatives and is waiting for action in the IN Senate. The full text of the bill can be found here.
