Regular 600 PAGE 1 OF 3 - May 13, 2013   95.2% The level of customer satisfaction measured in the survey was , for the 416 respondents.  Previous results from 2012 to 2007 were 97.1%, 96.8%, 94.2%, 97.0%, 93.4% and 93.2%.  The survey results entitle WastePro to the $15,000 performance bonus.  The City has processed the UCF survey invoice and 50% of that cost will be deducted from the $15,000 performance bonus.   Those respondents with negative experiences or questions were asked if they wanted to be contacted and 16 provided contact information.  38 customers requested repairs or replacement to their toter or recycle bins.  Staff has initiated contact with all these residents and will coordinate resolution of their concerns/complaints with Waste Pro.  Staff also reviewed the anonymous complaints with Waste Pro staff to identify opportunities for improvement.     In accordance with Section 9.3 of the Solid Waste Agreement dated March 1, 2006 by and between the City of Winter Springs and Waste Pro of Florida, Inc., Waste Pro’s performance shall be evaluated annually by the City Manager or his designee via a written annual evaluation, which shall be subsequently delivered to the City Commission at a public meeting.  The evaluation shall be based on the level of service criteria set forth in paragraph 9.1 of the Solid Waste Agreement.   Those criteria are listed in the attached Annual Evaluation Report.   Staff has completed the required evaluation and has met with representatives from Waste Pro to discuss the report.  All evaluation criteria were found to be “Good” or better.  The evaluation is attached.   FISCAL IMPACT: The Survey cost of $3,002 will be paid from the Solid Waste Fund.  Waste Pro’s share of the survey will be deducted from the $15,000 performance bonus for a net performance bonus of $13,499.00.  The current residential solid waste rate of $18.10 per month remains unchanged since 2006.  COMMUNICATION EFFORTS: This Agenda Item has been electronically forwarded to the Mayor and City Commission, City Manager, City Attorney/Staff, and is available on the City’s Website, LaserFiche, and the City’s Server.
