The City of Fayetteville is proud to announce a new partnership with Fort Liberty under an Intergovernmental Support Agreement (IGSA) to provide commercial solid waste management services to the military installation. This collaborative effort aims to enhance operational efficiency, promote sustainability, and support Fort Liberty’s mission readiness.
Under the terms of the IGSA, the City of Fayetteville will oversee regular commercial solid waste collection and disposal at Fort Liberty through a qualified, competitively selected subcontractor. This arrangement ensures a clean, safe environment for all personnel while maintaining strict compliance with environmental regulations. The City will supervise all aspects of the waste management operations, reinforcing its commitment to high-quality service delivery.
“This agreement marks a significant step in strengthening the collaboration between the City of Fayetteville and Fort Liberty,” said Mayor Mitch Colvin during the signing ceremony. “By working together, we are not only streamlining operations but also fostering regional cooperation that benefits both our military community and local residents.”
The IGSA was formally signed on Feb.12, at the Dorothy Gilmore Recreation Center by Fort Liberty Garrison Commander Col. Chad Mixon, Fayetteville Mayor Mitch Colvin, and City Manager Douglas J. Hewett. This signing ceremony underscored the commitment of both parties to enhancing service efficiency and regional cooperation.
The initial base year of the agreement is valued at just over $6 million with provisions for annual adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers (CPI-U). The agreement is set for one year with the option to renew annually for up to nine additional years, contingent upon the appropriation of funds by Congress.
This IGSA reflects the City’s broader mission to support the military community while leveraging shared resources and expertise to achieve cost savings and improved services. “By utilizing the City’s established waste management infrastructure, Fort Liberty can focus more resources on its core mission of national defense,” said City Manager Douglas J. Hewett.
The Fayetteville City Council unanimously approved the authorization for this agreement on Feb. 10, highlighting the city’s commitment to fostering strong intergovernmental relationships and promoting efficient municipal operations.
