Title
City-Wide Waste Management Services
Body
Summary and Background Information:
In 2019, the City Council approved a Refuse Collection Services Agreement with Republic Services. This 2019 Agreement will expire on December 31, 2024. Per the terms of the 2019 Agreement, the City may extend the contract for a period of one year. Staff is actively pursuing this extension option and is in discussions with Republic Services regarding terms for the Amendment and will bring the amendment before council on November 18, 2024. This one time, one-year extension is important as it will give adequate time to draft a new RFP for Refuse Collection Services, solicit and evaluate bids, select a provider, and smoothly transition services if needed-all without interruption to our community's waste management services. The attached presentation provides Council with an overview of the key terms that will be included in the RFP, which will be posted before the end of 2024. Council will review bids and approve the new contract in 2025, and then the new Agreement for Refuse Collection Services will begin on January 1, 2026.
