Staff Recommends: Approval of the Attached Resolution
Explanation:
The Department of Public Utilities requires an Agreement with a qualified firm for the removal and disposal of Waste Activated Biosolids at the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
On July 22, 2004, Schwing Bioset Technologies, Inc. ("Schwing") and the City of Hollywood, Florida entered into a Biosolids Hauling Agreement requiring Schwing to provide biosolids hauling and disposal services to the City.
The initial term of the Agreement is for five (5) years and includes the option to renew for three (3) additional five (5) year periods based on the mutual agreement of the parties.
In December 2009 the Agreement was renewed for the first five (5) year renewal period.
Schwing assigned the Agreement to Biosolids Distribution Services, LLC ("BDS") and BDS has provided satisfactory service in the past.
The Director of Public Utilities and the Director of Procurement Services recommend that the City Commission approve the attached Blanket Purchase Order to Biosolids Distribution Services, LLC of North Branch, Minnesota, for the removal and disposal of waste activated biosolids for a five (5) year period with an option to renew for one (1) additional five (5) year period, in an estimated annual amount of $1,300,000.00.
Award is subject to the City's receipt and approval of all insurance certificates required by the City's Risk Manager.
Funding for the attached blanket purchase order has been provided for in the fiscal year 2015 budget in the Department of Public Utilities Waste Disposal Account Number 42.4041.00000.536.004360 and will be budgeted in subsequent fiscal years.
