THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
Adopted this Order on _ March 15, 1988 , by the following vote:
AYES: Supervisors Powers, McPeak, Torlakson
NOES: Supervisor Fanden
ABSENT: Supervisor Schroder
ABSTAIN: None
SUBJECT: Public-Private Partnership Landfill Bids
The Board on March 8, 1988 deferred decision to this
date on the Internal Operations Committee recommendation to open
the public-private partnership landfill bids previously solicited
by the County and held unopened.
Victor J. Westman, County Counsel, commented on the
potential liability of the County in the event the County were to
deny the two pending landfill applications and subsequently enter
into some sort of proprietary relationship with one of the
public-private partnership bidders. He stated that opening the
envelopes and the knowledge of what they contain in itself would
not subject the Board to any legal liability, but that liability
would depend on what the Board actually did with the bids.
Supervisor Fanden expressed concern that opening the
bids prior to a final decision on the two pending applications
could possibly give an advantage to others who may be contemplating
filing an. application. She stated that for that reason she opposed
opening the bids at this time.
After further discussion by Board members, IT IS ORDERED
that the Internal Operations Committee recommendation to open the
public-private partnership landfill bids is APPROVED.
