TO: <br />FROM: <br />BY: <br />CC: <br />DATE: <br />SUBJECT: <br />Public Works Department - Henry Hash, Director <br />INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM <br />Transportation and Infrastructure Committee <br />Henry Hash, Public Works Director /4//. <br />Hari Ponnekanti, City Engineer <br />Mayor Allan Ekberg <br />May 17, 2019 <br />Solid Waste Collection <br />Contract No. 12-027, Amendment No. 2 <br />Waste Management Contract Extension <br />Allan Ekberg, Mayor <br />ISSUE <br />Approve Amendment No. 2 to Contract 12-027 for an extension to the Comprehensive Garbage, <br />Recyclables, and Compostables Collection Agreement with Waste Management of Washington, LLC <br />(WM) <br />BACKGROUND <br />The current Comprehensive Garbage, Recyclables, and Compostables Collection Agreement which <br />went into effect on November 1, 2012 for a duration of seven years, will expire on October 31, 2019. <br />According to Section 1 of the current Comprehensive Garbage, Recyclables, and Compostables <br />Collection Agreement, the City may exercise an option to extend the contract for two 2-year <br />extensions (for a total of four additional years). <br />DISCUSSION <br />In 2018, staff started researching the extension process for the current WM contract. Staff met <br />several times with the City's consultant, Dr. Jeff Brown of Epicenter, Inc. and representatives from <br />WM. Staff reviewed the current contract and recommends that it makes good economic sense for <br />the City to exercise its option for the allowable two 2-year extensions (for a total of four years) with <br />no change to the terms and conditions of the agreement. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT <br />None. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Council is being asked to approve Amendment No. 2 to Contract 12-027 for a four-year extension to <br />the Comprehensive Garbage, Recyclables, and Compostables Collection Agreement with Waste <br />Management of Washington, LLC and to consider this item at the May 28, 2019 Committee of the <br />Whole and the subsequent June 3, 2019 Regular Meeting. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />• Draft Contract Extension Letter <br />109 <br />W:1PW Eng10THERIHari Ponnekanti\InfoMemoTIC0521-HP.docx <br />
