A copy of the Curbside Contract Extension Agreement for 1998-2000 is <br />attached. The WHRC is seeking input from the City Councils of each of the seven participating <br />cities regarding renewal of the contract with E-Z Recycling. Most of the cities have been satisfied <br />with the service; however, there have been concerns regarding loose debris from the trucks. <br />Greenfield has experienced numerous problems in their routes. The Recycling Coordinator <br />continues to work with E-Z Recycling to resolve problems that are reported during pickups. <br />The WHRC has suggested the following four options to consider in the contract renewal process: <br />1. Extend the current contracts (as in the past) for three years; <br />2. Send out RFPs as a 'group' of cities; <br />3. 6 cities extend contracts, with Greenfield having a separate RFP; or <br />4. Extend our contracts with E-Z Recycling for one year, deciding to go out for bids as <br />a 'group' of cities in July 2001. <br />The WHRC recommends extending the current contract with E-Z Recycling for one year through <br />December 31, 2001, and sending out RFPs in July 2001. E-Z Recycling has agreed to stay at the <br />same per-household-per-month charge of $2.04 for 2001 for all of WHRC cities. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Motion to recommend extending the current contract with E-Z Recycling for one year through <br />December 31, 2001, and sending out RFPs in July 2001 for curbside recycling in the seven cities <br />participating in the West Hennepin Recycling Commission. <br />-I
