The Georgetown Mayor and City Council (M&CC) is currently awaiting legal advice to decide its next course of action concerning the two garbage compactors that were procured by F&H Computer Supplies and Merchandisers since May, but did not meet the council’s specifications.
Originally, the M&CC had sought to recoup $10 million from F&H Computer Supplies and Merchandisers due to failure of the company to meet the specifications outlined in the procurement agreement. The defects had left the council grappling with non-functioning garbage compactors, causing monthly expenses of $3 million, for having Cevons Waste Management address the city’s waste needs.
However, a twist occurred when a faction within the council decided, without consulting the entire body, to pursue an alternative course of action. This faction opted to have the compactors repaired by a technician, a move that stirred controversy and animosity among council members at last month’s statutory meeting.
