EAST LIVERPOOL -- The East Liverpool Board of Control Wednesday opened bids for hauling services for Refuse and Recycling and the purchase of a 2019 International roll off truck with four roll off boxes.

Bids were requested after city council passed an ordinance granting the city approval to seek them.

Only two bids were received. After the bids were opened and reviewed, they were forwarded to the City Planning Director Bill Cowan to review.

At this point it is not known if one of the bids will be awarded or if the city will place the items back out for rebidding.

The two bids received were from Ohio Valley Waste Service and Diamondback Disposal.

Diamondback Disposal provided a bid of $165,920 for the purchase of the 2019 International in "as is" condition, $13.720 for the purchase of two open top 40-yard roll off boxes in "as is" condition, $17,160 for the purchase of two close 40-yard roll off boxes (compactor boxes) in "as is" condition, $230 as price per pick up and return of dumpster (both open and closed top), $46.20 as the price per ton of disposal, and no extra charge for after hours, weekends or holidays.
