The City of Casselberry's procurement policies support cooperative purchase agreements. Mr. Tim Dolan, Regional Vice President of Waste Pro, has provided a letter that accepts the City's intention to make a cooperative purchase offtheir franchise agreement with Seminole County. The terms ofthe franchise agreement will be in accordance with Seminole County's agreement, with an option to extend the terms up to an additional five years if mutually agreed upon. The contract will become effective January 1,2008 and will end on March 31, 2010. Budget Impact: The City currently pays $13.85 per home per month to Republic Services for solid waste collection and disposal. IF the City opts to accept Republic's final negotiated terms, the rate would increase to $24.24 per home per month. Residents who receive regular and/or special solid waste collection currently pay $16.35 per month and residents who receive side door collection services currently pay $22.69 per month. These amounts include an additional $2.50 per month charge by the City for administration, billing and roadway repair costs. Should the City enter into a franchise agreement with Waste Pro based on the Seminole County agreement, the City would pay $15.54 per home per month. These rates, plus the City's additional charge of$2.50 per home, would total $18.04 per month for regular and special collection services and $28.04 per month for side door collection services. Therefore, the selection of Waste Pro will provide a net savings of approximately $9 per customer per month when compared to the rates offered by Republic Services. Additionally, pursuant to the contract, Waste Pro will be entitled to an adjustment based on the previous year's consumer price index. In lieu of adjusting the rates twice within a three month period, it is recommended that the City anticipate a 4% CPI increase and adjust the rates accordingly.
