After several days of road blockages, the collection - usually daily - could not be carried out. The trash cans quickly piled up. Their evacuation as soon as possible therefore required punctual adaptation of the service contracts.
The initial documents provide for one passage per day and per sector; in view of the number of garbage to be collected, it was necessary to increase the number of passages over several days. An obvious measure that required a specific administrative procedure to comply with the rules on public procurement, but also negotiations.
Indeed, according to our sources, some providers saw it as an opportunity to overcharge their services. Logically, a second daily pass should be billed at the same price as the first, that is, at the same price listed in the initial contract. Or even less if we consider that the second passage takes place during the day and not at night like the first (night work is often more remunerated).
This similar proposed tariff was rejected by the service providers. While the latter had been unable - certainly for reasons beyond their control - to provide their services for at least six days, they requested that the second pass be billed twice. After negotiations, they finally agreed to charge the same rate.
