Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an Agreement with Green Planet, Inc. for household hazardous waste disposal and collection services.

 

Body

The City of Round Rock operates a Household Hazardous Waste program (HHW) at the Deepwood Recycling Center. The HHW program allows the citizens of Round Rock to properly dispose of HHW materials which includes, but not limited to, paint, chemicals, fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, and pool chemicals. As part of the HHW program, the City is required to properly dispose of these materials. Previously, Clean Harbors was hired by the City to perform these services.

The City initiated an invitation to bid in March 2019.  Green Planet Inc. provided the lowest bid for these services. 
The Utilities and Environmental Services Department recommends entering into a 5-year term contract with Green Planet Inc. which will not exceed $150,000 ($30,000/year).

 

Cost: $150,000
