The awarded vendors are Waste Connections of Florida, Inc. and Waste Management, Inc. of Florida.

Commissioner Gonzalez agreed with the deferral and suggested procuring the services this year could identify cost savings. Chairwoman Steinberg asked DSWM to provide a plan and realistic timeline for bringing services in-house. The deferral was moved by Commissioner Cohen Higgins and seconded by Commissioner Lopez.
