Garbage is the least of that group’s problems!

Different verse, same as the first.

As long as the Mayor sets up the "evaluation team", and the "team" members are controlled by his "team" - he can make the results be what he wants.

If the Council wants to dig into this pile of s**t, err/ah, trash, then they would have their own evaluation team evaluate the various proposals.

Last fall - Lumumba's staff controlled the evaluation "team". Again today - they do the same. He can try to hide it behind the various b/s that is written into the proposed order, but just as everything else he does, its nothing but gum-flapping attempting to hide his purpose

And - just as before - his preferred contractor is willing to spend whatever it takes, however they can 'hide' it along the way, to get this lucrative contract.

Question is - will the Council stand up to him again?

Virgie? What say you? We are watching. Was proud of you before to finally break from his coattails - but we want you to stay stuck or else, it didn't count.

I have never seen someone as dumb as they truly are. Lubumba you are genuinely a true official

He has a red stamp that says King, Lumumba! Now that’s funny!

The lowest price 1x a week is not listed for consideration at bottom of second page. Can you make it ANY more convoluted?
Why not just list the prices AND names of bidders? Or at least label them 1,2,3?

Keep garbage collection twice a week. No ugly plastic useless 95-gallon can needed.

The numbers are nonsense.

But, the 95 gal cans will hold a body, maybe two.

Bottom line: whichever company ultimately gets the contract (pre-ordained) will be a huge donor to chowke's next campaign.

Put the Little Napoleon on a polygraph. He knows damn well the identities of those bids. The Council should either table his resolution or bury it in committee. He knows damn well that the overwhelming request heard during his bullshit self-puffery 'townhalls' was to continue twice weekly collections.

$ has already changed hands-

The Mayor’s sister stands to make a fortune under his proposal. Watch and see

Any result that does not end in "just give us more money to dole out to our pals as we see fit" will not be tolerated.

In plain sight...........any intervention by the state official would be considered racist. THIS IS the reason said state official sits on his hands and goes for the small fish in the small ponds.

We are picking up garbage. Why should an EBO plan matter? Let's hire the best and the cheapest, regardless of race or gender. Then let's get the trash picked up!

But we can't do that, because it's important that the racial makeup of the contractor match the racial makeup of the city. That's worked extremely well in the water and sewer department, which is why the City of Jackson water and sewer system is the envy of the entire country.

The lowest bid got the lowest score. Bid manipulation at its best.

"Let's hire the best and the cheapest, regardless of race or gender."

BAAAAAAAHAAAAAAHAAAAAAHAAAAA!!!!!!

I'm betting No. 2 (lowest on all options) is Waste Management but only recommended for Option 4. Also, how much does WM get paid to haul the trash from the "transfer station" to their Lake, MS landfill??? This deal is a joke!

The EBO is just legalized race discrimination at great cost to taxpayers.

None of it matters because a certain entity already knows they can bid whatever it takes to get the contract then later raise the price due to "unforeseen circumstances beyond their control". The administration will simply go along. So obvious.

Streets lined with huge blue trash containers are like blue pleasure pills for the boy emperor. Don't let practical considerations obstruct his eminence's pleasure.

Practical would be twice weekly, no litter collection, no blue monsters, let people use the containers they already own. And use a collection agency to get money from free-riders.

Council made it quite clear today that if Lumumba brings a once per week collection up for a vote he'll be unanimously rejected.

This charade by the boy-Mayor is nothing but another attempt to get his choice a sweet contract. The city had a perfectly acceptable, reasonable, responsive offer to the previous RFP - but BabyChock wouldn't consider it. Refused to bring it as an option to the Council, where it would have passed easily. Deal would have been done months ago and the city could have spent the past few months focusing on other problems. Assuming, of course, that the city has some other problems that need attention.

But for whatever reason BabyChock refuses to consider doing business with Waste Management. Makes me think that they may be the only potential vendor playing by the rules (that is, not paying off folks for the honor of picking up trash).

No matter what happens over the next few weeks, its a sure thing that WM's response will not be found to be at the top of the list if for no other reason than the 'evaluators' that come from the Mayor's executive office will rate them the lowest.

Should have put together a proposal using the business name of "White Trash" proposed all white garbage cans all white garbage trucks and absolutely crushed the EBO requirements with 100% black employees wearing Good Humor Ice Cream uniforms complete with bow ties.Talk about an opportunity missed!
