To:                  Mayor and City Commission

Date:               March 27, 2008

 

Subject:           First Reading:  Ordinance to Award Solid Waste Services Contract

 

As the City Commission is aware, the City currently has two contractors that service the City with solid waste and recycling services - Waste Management in Broadview/Pompano Park area and Republic Services of Florida, L.P. d/b/a All Service Refuse for the balance of the City.  Both of these contracts expire on September 30, 2008.  At the January 24, 2008 Commission meeting, the City Administration presented to the Commission several scenarios which were the results of negotiating with both companies. Since we were not able to come to agreeable terms with Waste Management, staff recommended and the City Commission supported proposal C-1 of those scenarios.

 

Per proposal C-1, we were able to work out an agreement with All-Service Refuse in which they would cover the entire City for both residential and commercial solid waste services.

 

New Contract Highlights

 

·        Same service levels City wide

·        Contract term October 1, 2008 thru September 30, 2011

·        Residential pick-ups remain the same – 2 per week and bulk pick-up on each service day

·        Entire City on same rate structure ($26.50 plus any change in the tipping fee- through the first year of the contract)

·        Fuel adjustment clause

·        Additional language as per the Commission’s requests regarding spillage and litter 

 

Recommendation

 

The City Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt on first reading the attached ordinance approving the Franchise Agreement between Republic Services of Florida, L.P. d/b/a All Service Refuse and the City of North Lauderdale for providing solid waste services throughout the City.
