Bidding on Trash Facility Reopened

Share via

Bowing to complaints that the system was tainted, Los Angeles city officials Thursday agreed to reopen the bidding between two firms competing for a lucrative 20-year contract to operate a $235-million trash-burning facility in South-Central Los Angeles.

The action was taken after Signal Environmental Systems, one of the bidders, protested that confidential papers it filed with the city were obtained by its rival, Ogden-Martin Corp. No evidence of impropriety was found, a city spokesman said.
