COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MEMORANDUM NO. 99-184 7uly 27, 1999 TO: Honorable Mayor Terry M. Howley and City Council Members FROM: James L. Williams, Jr.; City Manager _n Cecil A. Collins, Jr.;Director of Comm ni�y Development��C Max Forgey, AICP; Senior Planner �''� Hala Ahmed, Environmental Planner �.-Q, SUBJECT: Authorization to negotiate a contract for Curbside Recycling Program Staff requests the authorization of Council to proceed to negotiate a contract with Eddie Williams of Suburban Disposal for the new Curbside Recycling Program. The Department of Community Development has received two bids for the 1999-2000 Curbside Recycling Program; by Suburban Disposal, and American Disposal, known locally as D &B Refuse. Staff has forwarded to Council a memorandum detailing the bidding process as well as an evaluation of the two bids received for the program. A committee has been formed for selection review of the two proposals. The contractor selected by the committee is Suburban Disposal. Reasons for selection included: 1. A wider range of recyclables collected. D &B have excluded magazines from the material currently collected in the program while Suburban pledges to collect all recyclables in the program, including magazines. 2. Lower price rates for performing the service. D &B Refuse proposes $1.75 chaxge for a single unit per month;while Suburban offered to perform the service at $1.40 per unit per month. 3. Ease of monitoring. The committee has decided, after visiting the two bidders' disposal facilities, that monitoring the process operated by Suburban Disposal will be easier than the one operated by D &B Refuse. This is because Suburban has a single facility for processing recyclables (located in Warrensburg), while D&B has two facilities; one at Wyckles Road and the other in Sullivan. A single, nearby facility would allow for more frequent visits to monitor compliance.
