Justification Details
The justification states that the City of Fremont municipal code mandates Allied Waste Services dba Republic Services as the exclusive franchised hauler for all properties within city limits, including the refuge. This ordinance creates a barrier to competition, making Republic Services the sole authorized vendor. Market research was conducted, confirming the contractor's qualifications and that the proposed cost is fair and reasonable based on historical data.
