The City of Sammamish City Council work session, titled November 4, 2026 (meeting metadata is dated November 9, 2026), covered the proposed 2027–2028 contract renewals and the solid-waste collection procurement. Staff presented 51 renewals included in the interim city manager’s proposed budget; the contracts were summarized in the agenda materials, with no individual awards or procurement vote identified. The City released its solid-waste RFP that day, with proposals due February 17, 2027. Evaluation will assign 60% to rates and 40% to qualitative factors, with a staff-only committee; staff expect to bring a recommendation, contract, and rates to Council in late spring 2027, targeting execution by July 2027 for service beginning January 2029. Council members were asked not to communicate with proposers during the procurement. Discussion included rate comparisons and service levels; staff agreed to provide comparative information, while changes to the RFP’s service terms were not planned during the solicitation.

Staff also updated Council on the closed boardwalk and temporary pedestrian route. A structural assessment and longer-term options study are underway, and boardwalk replacement is listed in the 2027–2032 capital improvement plan, with more information expected in early 2027. The state is supplying the needed concrete barriers at no cost. No specific project budget or boardwalk construction award was presented.
