Cleanscape, a contract garbage hauler, offered to clean parks for free. Unions fight back.
... The union points to a pattern of CleanScapes offering to donate to the city services such as snow removal and the deployment of speed-watch trailers, without public notice or bids.
Donating without a bidding process. Caught! Why don't the city unions volunteer?
But on the other hand the company is reported to have offered "donations" in exchange for extending a contract. Don't touch that!
In his proposal, Martin said he would donate the snowplow work if the city extended CleanScapes' trash-hauling contract for two years — an extension worth about $80 million, according to Seattle Public Utilities, which contracts for city trash collection.
