Case # <br /> <br /> CURBSIDE RECYCLING CONTRACT EXTENSION <br /> ~By: James Gromberg, Economic Development Coordinator <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />As the City Councilmembers are aware, the City's Curbside Recycling Contract is set to expire on <br />June 30, 1995. When the City Council approved this contract in March, 1994, it also requested <br />the ability to Oxtend the contract until the end of 1995. This would allow the contract to expire in <br />conjunction ~jth the implementation of the new rates and charges table. As the City now charges <br />the excess exl~ense of the program to the residents, this would allow for the City to recoup its costs <br />on a more timely basis, as the new contract would be used in determining the quarterly charge for <br />the service. <br /> <br />Anoka County has provided the following figures for the following communities that currently <br />have figures per household for recycling: <br /> <br />:Fridley <br />Hilltop <br />Ramsey <br />Spring Lake Park <br /> <br />$1.42 per household <br />$1.98 per household <br />$1.27 per household <br />$1.10 per household <br /> <br />I have also revi. ewed the number of complaints (missed stops) the City has received over the past <br />three years. A~ the chart indicates, the City has seen a decline in the percentage of missed stops <br />each year. ~ <br /> <br />Year Households Monthly Pick-ups Missed Percentage of Missed <br /> Pick-ups per year Stops Stops/Complaints <br />1992 3,799 7,598 91,176 142 0.16% <br />1993 4,076 8,152 97,824 ~' 105 0.11% <br />1994 4,453 8,906 106,872 101 0.09% <br /> <br />This is somewhat skewed by the City changing the pick-up dates from the first/third and <br />second/fourth Mondays of the month to an every other Monday collection. This listing also does <br />not differentiat~r between residents that failed to get their materiels out on time or incorrectly <br />prepared the items for pick-up. <br /> <br />Staff Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff recommen~ts that the Council approve the 6-month extension of the contract for curbside <br />recycling and di~ct Staff to develop a request for bids to be presented at the August meeting. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />Motion to approYe the proposed contract for the 6-month extension of the contract for curbside <br />recycling and direct Staff to develop a requested for bids to be presented at the August meeting. <br /> <br /> <br />
