The Contract will be awarded to the qualified and responsible bidder stating the lowest cost for the collection, subject to the exception stated below. The lowest cost for collection will be based on the total cost for three years of the municipal waste service, including one Large Item per week, weekly recycling. For purposes of calculating the lowest cost for collection, the Township will use the following calculation: (Basic service cost per customer times 2,650 customers) + (Tag-a-bag fee times 18 bag times 200 customers). If the bidder stating the lowest cost, as above calculated, has stated a fee for each container tag that, in the sole discretion and based upon criteria chosen solely by the Township, appears to make the cost proposed by such bidder not to be the lowest cost among bidders, the Township reserves the right to (a) negotiate the fee for each container tag with such bidder to one which will make the proposed cost the lowest among bidders or (b) failing to reach an agreement, to award the contract to another bidder appearing to state the lowest cost among bidder.
