Contracts

The Clinton Township-based company beat GFL Environmental Inc. and the city’s current waste hauler Waste Management Inc. for the contract.

During a public hearing, one of the more favorable options broached was a contract offering two 96-gallon carts, while another option would offer three carts.

The plant was blocked last month following concerns about traffic volumes and impact on the surrounding landscape.

The $87 million contract will last for seven and a half years, with a possible extension of an additional seven years.

FCC reported its operating margin increased to 15.4 percent, thanks to greater contribution from business areas, particularly environment and water.

The contract is for weekly curbside collection of yard waste on regular pickup days during peak periods in the spring and fall.

The county’s solid waste authority explained it is continuing to reassess its residential recycling program since terminating its previous contract.
