Dick Feaster presented a compilation of competitive bids of six local propane companies for a proposed Ridgewood propane co-operative. Each of the companies responding to our letter requesting a bid listed its price per gallon, tank rental for the first, second, and subsequent years, cost of tank change-out, and any environmental recovery fee. The length of a contract, if any, was included, as well as any other information specific to thatcompany. After discussion, the Board voted to recommend AmeriGas as the supplier of propane for the Ridgewood Propane Co-op. A letter with specific information about the AmeriGas bid will be sent so residents can decide on their participation in the co-op. Also, a representative of AmeriGas will be at the June 11 summer membership meeting/ party to answer questions of residents.
