County picks East Carondelet hauler
The Monroe County Board-five business references in hand-seemingly reluctantly agreed Monday to award the 2008 contract for managing large-item pickup at the Waterloo recycling site to an East Carondelet hauler.Sherrie Ford submitted at $48,000 bid that substantially undercut Reliable Sanitation of Waterloo's $72,300 and Aspen Waste of St. Louis' $69,000 in early October.The county and the Monroe-Randolph Bi-County Health Department agreed to table action to accept the low bid because the difference appeared unrealistic."It's still a little scary," Bi-County Health's John Wagner said. "But Sherrie Ford has given us the references we requested, they have posted $1 million insurance bonding and they say they can do the job."Ford, according to Wagner, plans to subcontract some of the work of managing the site and to offset the relatively low contract revenue through a separate salvaging business.Ford did not attend the original bid opening or Monday's meeting."The fall back is that this is really only a '30-day' contract because we can cancel it after 30 days if we aren't satisfied," Commissioner Terry Liefer said.

Heading down the road to celebrate the holiday with family, you've remembered to pack your map, snacks for the kids and a big Thermos of coffee for yourself. You may have forgotten one of the most important things, however:your proof of insurance. In the event you're pulled over by a police officer, your car tag is checked through the National Crime Information Center and through the Georgia equivalent database. The officer wants to know as much about the vehicle and its owner as possible before approaching you. Among the data that show up related to the tag is the insurance status of the Vehicle Identification Number. The insurance data comes from the Georgia Electronic Insurance Compliance System. All auto insurers doing business in Georgia must report electronically to the state when an auto policy goes into effect and when it is canceled.
