Pre-RFPPublic WorksDetected Jun 17, 2026

North Middlesex Council received a staff report on the Industrial, Commercial and Institutional (ICI) Recycling Transition with Bluewater Recycling Association and directed staff to maintain the current ICI service model for 2026 while moving to full cost recovery through user fees. Staff were also directed to design and implement a cost-recovery model based on Bluewater’s updated rate structure and to report back during the 2027 budget process with final fee structure options and implementation details. This creates an upcoming need for financial modeling, billing system changes, customer communication, and possibly container, routing, and data-management adjustments for ICI users.Vendors in waste operations consulting, utility billing and customer-portal software, public engagement, and cost-of-service analysis can support the municipality as it designs the fee model and prepares for 2027 implementation.

Direction explicitly calls for staff to develop a user-fee based cost recovery model and bring back detailed options in the 2027 budget cycle.
