Lower Pottsgrove's municipal building.

SANATOGA PA – A special meeting of the Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Township Board of Commissioners – previously scheduled for tonight (Wednesday, Nov. 30, 2011), and during which bids for the township trash collection contract could have been discussed – has been canceled.

A notice announcing the cancellation was taped Tuesday (Nov. 29) to the front door of the municipal building, 2199 Buchert Rd., Pottstown PA, and also appeared on the township website. No reason was given.

The latest round of bids for the multi-year, multi-million dollar garbage contract were opened last Monday (Nov. 21), after an earlier set of bids supplied by four vendors were rejected for various deficiencies. There were indications Tuesday morning that commissioners instead planned to discuss and vote on accepting one of the new bids during their Dec. 5 (Monday) scheduled meeting.

The board may also consider approval Dec. 5 of the township’s tentative 2012 budget, Manager Rodney Hawthorne has said.
