Title

Ordinance - Third and Final Reading of an Ordinance Approving an Agreement for Waste Disposal Services Between the City of Mansfield and Republic Waste Services of Texas, ltd.; Authorizing the City Mananger to Execute all Documents Necessary to Complete the Transaction; and Providing an Effective Date

 

Requested Action

The City Council of the City of Mansfield, Texas, read and vote on the matter of the Ordinance authorizing the City of Mansfield, Texas to enter a contract with Republic Waste Services to provide solid waste and recycling service on behalf of and for the City of Mansfield, Texas.

 

Recommendation

Approve the Ordinance authorizing the City of Mansfield, Texas to enter a contract for services with Republic Waste Services for the purpose of collecting, hauling and disposing solid waste and recyclable materials from the City of Mansfield, Texas.

 

Description/History

The Contract with Republic expires on September 30, 2018.  Republic and the City have been negotiating new rates and types of services for the last 6 months.  Republic petitioned the City to move the City’s collection of solid waste and recyclable material from its current form of service which is twice a week take all, to once a week automated service with once a week bulky waste pick up.  This generated considerable discussion from the public.  A survey was packaged and made available to the public. There was a tremendous response by the public.  Almost 3,000 people responded to the survey.  The public is overwhelmingly in favor of staying with the existing service and willing to pay more for the existing service.

 

Justification

The contract for hauling solid waste and recycling services expires at the end of September 2018. Consideration and negotiation of the type and cost of service were evaluated by the City of Mansfield, Texas and the public’s input was received.  The City Council of the City of Mansfield, Texas instructed the City to finalize the agreement with Republic including the existing services.  The contract allows for rates to increase up to 3% a year; however, the increase is subject to an inflation index defined in the agreement.  In other words, the rate will not automatically increase each year but is tied to an inflation index - CPI All Urban Consumers.
