On the surface, there seemed to be a clear contender for the city of Sammamish’s next solid waste contract.
But an alleged math error and the alteration of city forms ruled out Waste Management’s bid as “non-responsive,” according to city documents.
Waste Management, disagreeing with the city’s assessment, took legal action Dec. 1 postponing the solid waste contract decision the Sammamish City Council was scheduled to vote on that evening.
