■ Yarra Ranges Shire Councillors were due last night (Tues., July 11) to consider a $2.7 million two-year contract for WM Waste Management Services to operate the Street and Park Litter Bin Collection and Maintenance Service. The final decision by Councillors was not to hand when this issue of The Local Paper went to press. A tender process was undertaken to assist in establishing a new contract for the collection and maintenance of the Street and Park Litterbin service. As part of the evaluation process, a crossorganisation Tender Evaluation Panel was established to ensure a range of Council’s services were considered when evaluating the tenders. The Panel consisted of independent industry experts, probity, and procurement consultants, in addition to Council’s representatives. “WM Waste Management Services Pty Ltd provided several innovative offers in its tender response which were evaluated as part of the submission,” said an officer’s report. “The tender called for the contractor to undertake the disposal of waste to Council’s contracted disposal site at Hampton Park Landfill, which was costed and included within the tender,” the report noted.
