Title
First Amendment to the Annual Contract for Paper Recycling Services FY 2008-2009 (B)
This item is a request for approval of a First Amendment to the Annual Contract for Paper Recycling Services to increase the number of recycling pick-up stations serviced.
Explanation
On October 8, 2003, the City of Gainesville entered into a contract with Recycling Services of America, Inc. to provide collection and processing of office paper and corrugated cardboard from all City facilities. Collection is from inside City buildings using centralized containers with canvas bags. Recycling Services of America, Inc. has provided consistently good service and responded promptly when notified of any collection problems or special pickups.
The contract has been extended twice and expires on September 30, 2009. Due to increased recycling efforts, the contract needs to be amended to increase the number of recycling pick-up stations not to exceed 150 stations. This will increase the annual amount of the contract from $22,500 to $25,000.
Fiscal Note
Funds in the amount of $25,000 are available in the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund.
Recommendation
Recommended Motion: The City Commission 1) approve the First Amendment to the Annual Contract for Paper Recycling Services; 2) authorize the City Manager to execute any necessary documents, subject to approval by the City Attorney's office as to form and legality; and 3) authorize the modification of the purchase order for a not to exceed amount of $25,000 for paper recycling services through September 30, 2009.
