Title

Consider a resolution authorizing the City Manager to provide written notice to Waste Connections Lone Star, Inc., Waste Management of Texas, Inc., Central Waste and Recycling, and Texas Disposal Systems, Inc., that their existing Franchise Agreements for Nonresidential Refuse Collection with the City will terminate on April 30, 2022.

Body

Currently, the City utilizes an open-market system in which five companies have Franchise Agreements with the City for collection of solid waste material from commercial and industrial facilities.  Central Texas Refuse (CTR), Waste Management of Texas, Texas Disposal Systems, Waste Connections Lone Star, and Central Waste and Recycling currently have active Franchise Agreements to operate in the city limits of Round Rock.

The City and CTR have negotiated an Amended and Restated Refuse Collection Contract that will allow CTR to be the single vendor for all solid waste collections services in the City. Therefore, the City would like to terminate the five existing Franchise Agreements effective at 11:59pm on April 30, 2022.
