Doug Link with Republic Services will be attending the Work Session to <br />meet with the Council. <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />The current residential recycling services contract with Eureka Recycling expires on May 3, <br />2015. As a result of the approaching contract conclusion, a Request for Proposals (RFP) for <br />residential recycling services was released by the City. Five companies, including Eureka <br />Recycling, Republic Services, Tennis Sanitation, Walters Recycling and Waste Management <br />submitted proposals. <br /> <br />Each proposal was carefully evaluated by the review team based on the criteria outlined in the <br />RFP. The final analysis indicated that Republic Services had the best price for the services <br />requested, relative to the recycling needs of the City and its residents. After the team’s review, it <br />was found that in order to maintain the equivalent amount of current services to City residents a <br />recommendation would be made to the Council that included a five (5) year contract with <br />Republic Services with weekly service and City-owned carts. As proposed, the new contract <br />over the next five years is valued at approximately $527,290, or $105,458 per year before <br />revenue sharing. <br />
