Title
Second Extension to the Agreement Between the City of Gainesville and Waste Management, Inc., of Florida (B)
This item involves a request for the second one-year Extension to the Agreement between Regional Transit System (RTS) and Waste Management, Inc., for pick-up and disposal of trash from bus stops.
Explanation
RTS has an Agreement with Waste Management, Inc., of Florida for pick-up and disposal of trash from the bus stops on a scheduled basis. The Agreement allows for two one-year extensions, subject to funding and written consent of both parties. The Second and final extension is for the period of October 1, 2006 through September 30, 2007.
Fiscal Note
Funding in the amount of $40,000 is available in the RTS FY 2007 operating budget for this extension.
Recommendation
Recommended Motion: The City Commission: 1) authorize the City Manager to execute the Second Extension to the Agreement with Waste Management, Inc., of Florida for the period of October 1, 2006 through September 30, 2007; and 2) authorize the City Manager to execute any and all related documents.
Alternative Recommendation A: The City Commission decline the authorization for the City Manager to execute the Second Extension to the Agreement with Waste Management, Inc., of Florida and provide staff with specific direction for securing these commodities. The City of Gainesville would be without an Agreement for the pick-up and disposal of trash from the bus stops. This would require the issuance of a new Invitation to Bid for these services and incur additional administrative costs. The additional fiscal impact would be an increased cost for these services due to fluctuating oil prices.
