Before they decide how to deliver solid waste services in the most efficient manner, the members of the Hall County Board of Commissioners will decide whether they need help in the process — and if so, how much they’ll pay for that help. Before the board is a proposal from county staff to hire The Mercer Group to analyze a set of bids submitted earlier this summer on the operation of the county landfill and county compactor sites. Under the proposal, the group would be paid at a rate of $137 per hour to analyze bids from Hall County’s public works division and other, private bidders who wish to take over all or parts of the county’s solid waste system.
