Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an Amendment to Residential Services Rate in the refuse collection contract with Round Rock Refuse, Inc.
Body
On August 26, 2010, the City Council approved an amendment to the City Ordinance regarding the implementation of a comprehensive solid waste management and recycling program. The City has successfully worked with Round Rock Refuse since 1987 for these services.
The contract states that Round Rock Refuse may petition the City for reasonable adjustments to the Residential Services Rate based on changes in the Fuel Cost Component, Landfill Cost Component, and/or Operations, Overhead, and Profit Component. Round Rock Refuse has petitioned for an increase in the Landfill Cost Component and the Operations, Overhead, and Profit Component for their rate. Their petition calls for a decrease in the Fuel Cost Component.
The City has reviewed the petition and has determined that the request is reasonable and that the Round Rock Refuse is entitled to a reasonable adjustment to the Residential Services Rate. The increase is from $13.90 to $14.23 per residential unit per month.
Recommended Action
Staff recommends approval.
