ISSUE The Honorable Mayor and City Commission to consider approving the Amendment to the Commercial and Multi-Family Solid Waste Collection Franchise Agreement with Veolia ES Solid Waste Southeast, Inc., for a 24-month term that includes a monthly fuel adjustment surcharge BACKGROUNDIDISCUSSION The City has reached the end of the term for the Commercial and Multi-Family Solid Waste Collection Franchise Agreement with the current franchisee, Veolia ES Solid Waste Southeast, Inc. (formerly know as Onyx). The two (2) year extension to Veolia's contract allowed for renegotiation of rates to continue service. The Amendment to the Commercial and Multi-Family Solid Waste Collection Agreement will maintain service to customers and allow the City to determine if said service should be brought in-house or solicit new proposals to continue contracting with outside vendors. The proposed amendment includes a monthly fuel adjustment surcharge and early termination clause.

The fuel adjustment surcharge shall be applied to the franchise rates monthly based on a starting monthly average diesel fuel price of $2.85/gallon as of September 1, 2006, reported by the Energy Information Administration of the U.S. Department of Energy. The termination clause allows the City the option to transfer this service in-house or to another vendor prior to the 24-month term of this amendment.
