Summary |
||||
|
On December 1,
2008, the residential solid waste services contract between Fort Bend County
Municipal Utility District No. 1 (Riverpark) and Waste Corporation of Texas,
LP. (WCA) automatically renewed for a
three-year term, terminating on November 30, 2011. Due to the terms of the
contract, the City will become financially liable for this contract when
annexation of Riverpark occurs on December 1, 2009. The current
contract between Riverpark and WCA provided for service levels that were below
city standards and more restrictive (heavy trash and recycling) than those
the City currently provides to our homeowners. Additionally, the contract did not provide
for holiday pickup. To address these service level inconsistencies, an
agreement with WCA has been reached to provide residential solid waste and
recycling services to the homeowners in Riverpark commencing on December 1,
2009 and extending until February 28, 2013. This agreement includes the
termination of the current solid waste contract between Riverpark and WCA and
the execution of a new contract between the City and WCA. The new contract
did not have to go through the bid process because it meets the state health
and human safety purchasing exemption. The new contract between the City and
WCA mirrors the services provided in the residential solid waste service
contract in place for all City residents with Republic Services/Allied Waste.
This contract also terminates on February 28, 2013. The Community and Environmental Services Department
recommends that the City Council authorize execution of the solid waste
residential services contract with WCA Waste Corporation of Texas, LP in the
amount of $166,027. |
