This is a City sole source public notice for landfill disposal of biosolids, naming Waste Connections US Inc (Wasco County) as the prospective contractor at $250,000 per year. The first public notice date is 2/19/26 with an anticipated award date of 2/26/26. Any affected person can protest the sole source determination by delivering a written protest to the City Manager’s office at 555 Liberty St SE, Room 220, Salem, OR 97301 within seven days of the first public notice date, and including a $500 certified or cashier’s check. This is not positioned as an open competition; the actionable path for another vendor is a timely, compliant protest with strong evidence that multiple sources can provide the service.
Proceed with a sole source purchase for landfill disposal of biosolids (ongoing service) and award to Waste Connections US Inc unless a timely protest demonstrates the service is available from more than one source under the City’s Public Contracting Rules (Section IV Alternative Source Selection Methods).
