Overview: The Manchester-By-The-Sea Select Board meeting addressed several topics impacting the community, with the ongoing labor strike affecting Republic Services’ waste collection taking center stage. The strike has disrupted recycling services. As Republic’s contract approaches its fiscal year-end expiration, the Board is considering whether to renew or seek bids from alternative waste service providers. The current contract’s “force majeure” clause shields Republic from damages due to strikes, yet the Board is intent on negotiating fees for missed services. They believe that tracking additional costs incurred due to service failures is vital. Discussions also highlighted procurement flexibility under the law, potentially facilitating the adoption of automated waste collection and uniform barrels to enhance competition, though this would require significant public engagement due to the substantial shift it represents in waste management practices.
