SYNOPSIS: The purpose of this Commission item is to request the Waste Pro Solid Waste Franchise Agreement be Extended Four Years through February 28, 2019 with No Change in the Current Level of Service and No Increase in the $18.10 monthly residential solid waste rate. CONSIDERATIONS: This agenda item is needed to provide for Solid Waste services to the residents and business's in Winter Springs. The current agreement expires on February 28, 2015 and Waste Pro has provide written notice requesting renewal for four years in accordance with the agreement. The City Commission adopted Ordinance 2006 -01 on February 13, 2006 which entered into a franchise agreement with Waste Pro of Florida, Inc. The effective date of the agreement was March 1, 2006 with an expiration date of February 28, 2011. On December 13, 2010, the City Commission approved Ordinance 2010 -24 which included an Addendum to the Solid Waste Agreement, a copy of which is attached. The $18.10 monthly residential rate has remained unchanged since 2006. The Addendum was for a four year period through February 28, 2015. Included in Section 2.2 of the addendum was a provision for a four year extension provided both parties agree and written notice was provided 90 days prior to the Consent 302 PAGE 1 OF 2 - October 13, 2014 expiration (December 1, 2014). Staff received the Waste Pro extension request on September 19, 2014, a copy of which is also attached. Staff has projected the impact of keeping the $18.10 rate unchanged for four more years and we are comfortable that the Solid Waste Fund remains sustainable through the extension period. Waste Pro has significantly exceeded the 90% customer service satisfaction survey performance standards in all eight years of the agreement. Previous results from 2014 to 2007 were 94.5 %, 95.2 %, 97.1 %, 96.8 %, 94.2 %, 97.0 %, 93.4% and 93.2 %. Staff expects this high level of customer satisfaction to continue through the extension period if approved. Additionally, there are several ongoing topics of discussion with WastePro that staff expects to bring back to the Commission for future consideration. These include; improving new construction rolloff franchise participation, transitioning solid waste vehicles to natural gas, and toters approaching the end of their life cycle. The target to bring these items forward for discussion is 2nd Quarter 2015. FISCAL IMPACT: The current residential solid waste rate of $18.10 per month remains unchanged since 2006 and is projected to stay the same through the extension period.
