Residential Refuse and Recycling

Peachtree City, GA

The proposal due date originally scheduled for July 8, 2008 has been postponed. The

new due date will be announced shortly.

Upon issuance, addendum #2 is expected to address not only the issues, questions and concerns raised at the mandatory pre-proposal meeting held Thursday, June 5, 2008 but also contain a request for proposal for a preferred provider. Based upon advice from the City’s attorney, a second pre-proposal meeting will be scheduled. This meeting will be mandatory for any firm not in attendance at the first meeting but optional for any firm in attendance at the first. I would encourage attendance as I expect this new proposal option will generate significant discussion.

Please contact Ms. Angela Egan if you have additional questions.
