From the meeting
At its September 10, 2026 work session the council discussed replacing the town's current single-hauler trash arrangement with a competitive franchise model. Councilman Tyler Zaichkin said the former designated contractor's agreement had been terminated, and Mayor Traig Howells said he may start the RFP process after contacting other communities. The town is still deciding whether to publish an RFP and hold public hearings before granting any franchise.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Town of Manhattan's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
