Title
A Resolution Of The City Commission Of The City Of Hollywood, Florida, Approving And Authorizing The Appropriate City Officials To Execute The Fourth Amendment To The Commingled And Solid Waste Collection Services Agreement With Waste Pro Of Florida, Inc. For A Six Month Extension From January 31, 2019 To July 31, 2019.
Body
Staff Recommends: The Approval of the Attached Resolution.
Explanation:
On January 15, 2009, the City and Waste Pro of Florida (“Waste Pro”) entered into an agreement pursuant to Invitation for Bid No. F-4153-08-LS (“Bid”) for Waste Pro to provide solid waste and commingled waste collection services for an initial ten year term with the option to renew for two additional two year periods.
The City Commission has directed the Department of Public Works to conduct a solid waste analysis, researching various options for solid waste services, including but not limited to commingled disposal services.
The Department of Public Works has contracted with a Solid Waste CONSULTANT that specializes in consulting and procurement services in the area of solid waste.
The current contract with Waste Pro, will expire on January 31, 2019, unless renewed by the parties for an additional two year period.
As the solid waste analysis will overlap with any renewal of the services provided by Waste Pro under the existing contract, City staff determined that it is necessary to shorten the renewal term in order to allow both the City and CONSULTANT to explore the various options determined as an outcome of the analysis and to have continuity to provide the services during said timeframe.
Waste Pro, has agreed to offer the City an interim agreement, and it is in the City’s best interest to extend the current agreement until July 31, 2019; however, the solid waste and commingled waste collection services unit price rate set forth in the current agreement will increase from $13.20 per month to $14.95 per month during this extension term, shall be effective on January 31, 2019 and this will not be passed onto the residents but will be absorbed by the Enterprise Fund.
Section 38.40(C)(8) provides that when the City Commission declares by a 5/7ths vote that competitive bidding and competitive proposals are not in the best interest of the City, such purchases are exempt from the competitive bidding and competitive proposal requirements.
Funding for this service has been provided in the FY 2019 budget in the Department of Public Works Budget Account Numbers 45.5121.00000.534.003117 - Contractual Services.
