The City of Monticello, Iowa
IN THE NAME AND BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF MONTICELLO, IOWA
RESOLUTION #18-67
Approving Contract for Residential Curbside Garbage and Recycling collection
WHEREAS, The City Council previously directed the City Administrator to investigate the negatives, positives, and costs associated with contracting or “privatizing” the collection of curbside garbage and recycling waste, and
WHEREAS, The City reviewed proposals from Republic and Roling and finds that the proposal submitted by Republic is the better of the proposals based upon price as well as on the willingness of Republic to provide 65 gallon containers to all eligible properties in which to put their waste and recycling, and
WHEREAS, Republic has been collecting commercial dumpsters in the community and the City Council finds that they have been meeting their obligations under the agreement, and
WHEREAS, The Council finds that the time is right for the City to look towards contracting, being down one staff person and being in a positon where a new garbage truck chassis and packer must be purchased in the not too distant future if the City stays in the sanitation business, and
WHEREAS, The Council also finds that the bid submitted by Republic is reasonable and appropriate and that the administration and invoicing would remain with the City, the City continuing, therefore, to have a good level of involvement in the collection process to ensure quality service to the residents,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Monticello, Iowa does hereby approve the Contract for Residential Waste and Recycling Collection Services between the City of Monticello and Allied Waste Management Services of Dubuque, d/b/a Republic Services of Dubuque, and authorizes the Mayor to execute the same on behalf of the City of Monticello.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto subscribed my name and caused the Great Seal of the City of Monticello, Iowa to be affixed hereto. Done this 4th day of June, 2018.
Attest: Brian Wolken, Mayor
Sally Hinrichsen, Monticello City Clerk
