The City of Monticello, Iowa
IN THE NAME AND BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF MONTICELLO, IOWA
RESOLUTION #17-162
Approving Contract for Commercial Dumpster Unit Collection & Disposal Services
WHEREAS, The City Council previously directed the City Administrator to investigate the negatives, positives, and costs associated with contracting or “privatizing” some portion of the sanitation collection process, and
WHEREAS, The Council by Resolution 15-88 approved of a contract between the City of Monticello and BFI Waste Services, LLC, d/b/a Republic Services of Dubuque, and
WHEREAS, Republic desires to replace all privately owned rear load dumpsters in Monticello with Republic owned front load dumpsters and due to the investment required to do so requests the entry into a new agreement, with the same terms and provisions as the current agreement but for an extension of four (4) years taking the agreement through December 31, 2024, with a 3% price increase per year as noted within the Contract, and
WHEREAS, The Council has considered the proposal and finds that the provision and maintenance of dumpsters owned by Republic, as opposed to private ownership and maintenance is valuable and justifies the requested four (4) year extension..
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Monticello, Iowa does hereby approve the Contract for Solid Waste Commercial Dumpster Unit 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.
