Jackson councilmen criticize mayor’s handling of RFP
SUMMARY: Jackson City Council members are expressing frustration with the mayor over the handling of garbage collection. They claim the mayor locked in the lowest bidder for the contract but then turned it down. Councilman Foote believes the mayor has been operating outside the RFP process and not following the law. He suggests that if the lowest and best bid had been accepted, the city would already have a contract for ten years and wouldn’t have to consider offering another RFP. The council members are concerned that prices may increase as a result of the mayor’s decisions.
