Council 5-20-26

The Municipality of Murrysville held a council meeting on May 20, 2026, which included several procurement-related discussions. A key agenda item was the consideration of issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for solid waste recycling and collection services, as the current five-year contract with Republic Services is set to expire in September 2026. The council reviewed options including unlimited trash collection, cart service, a sticker program, and senior discounts, with plans to finalize and release the RFP by the next meeting. Additionally, the council authorized the advertisement of the 2026 microsurfacing project (DPW-9-26) to improve neighborhood streets, marking the first use of this treatment in the municipality. They also approved a $181,000 capital improvement project with a 15% municipal match and awarded the 2026 overlay inspection services contract to LSSE for $25,750 after receiving two proposals. Other business included appointments to the Code Appeals Board and updates on community projects such as the disc golf course and park improvements. No votes were taken on the RFP itself, but feedback was solicited to refine the document before release.
