14.B.2 WASTE HAULING FRANCHISE <br />Utilities Director Erik Olson described the County's waste hauling system, and disclosed <br />that the current Franchise Agreements with Waste Management and Treasure Coast expire in <br />September 2009. He presented and explained the following four (4) options from which the <br />Board may choose to approve: <br />1. Open the current contracts for open bid at this time rather than waiting for the <br />expiration of the contracts in September 2009. <br />2. Open the current contracts for negotiations at this time rather than waiting for the <br />expiration of the contracts in September 2009. <br />3. Wait until the current contracts are about to expire in September 2009 and bid the <br />contracts at that time. <br />4. Wait until the current contracts are about to expire in September 2009 and then <br />negotiate a new contract with the two existing solid waste haulers. <br />Himanshu Mehta, Managing Director of the Solid Waste Disposal District, provided <br />further details on the process of waste haulage and disposal, and the need to change our recycling <br />program. <br />Administrator Baird also explained some of the reasons staff wants to change the <br />recycling program. <br />February 5, 2008 2 <br />S.
