Brown, County Administrator <br />From: Vincent Burke, P.E., Director of Utility Services <br />Prepared By: Himanshu H. Mehta, P.E., Managing Director, Solid Waste Disposal District <br />Subject: Tenth Amendment to Republic Services <br />DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITIONS: <br />On November 16, 2010, the Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) Board authorized the Solid Waste <br />Operations and Maintenance Agreement with Republic Services of Florida, LP (Republic Services). The <br />agreement is for the operation and maintenance of the county's Class 1 landfill as well as non -Class 1 <br />landfill services. Per a contract extension by the SWDD Board on February 21, 2017 the agreement is valid <br />through December 31, 2024. <br />As a result of approaching Hurricane Irma, on September 4, 2017, the Governor of Florida declared a State <br />of Emergency through Executive Order 17-235 for the entire State of Florida. Subsequently, on September <br />7, 2017, the County Administrator declared a State of Emergency for Indian River County. <br />Republic Services has provided a Hurricane Preparedness Plan for the 2017 Hurricane Season to allow a <br />seamless disposal of storm debris at the landfill and the Customer Convenience Centers (CCC's) with the <br />least amount of effect on the residents of Indian River County. <br />Staff supports this Tenth Amendment to Republic Services to provide additional services after Hurricane Irma. <br />Please note, some landfill gas work needs to be completed within this month which is also included in this <br />amendment. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />Staff and Republic Services have been developing a Hurricane Preparedness Plan for the 2017 Hurricane <br />Season. The following is a summary of services and costs: <br />• Landfill Operations and Maintenance — It is expected that there will be a significant volume <br />increase for disposal into the Indian River County Landfill as a result of the post storm cleanup <br />activities. Republic Services has acknowledged that the current tipping fee of $14.86 per ton is <br />sufficient to cover the additional operational and maintenance costs for the landfill utilizing existing <br />equipment. The amendment does include SWDD providing reimbursement for mobilization and <br />rental of equipment that is currently not part of routine operations. The amendment also allows for <br />reimbursement for additional costs associated with extra materials for road maintenance and for <br />costs for pumping excessive leachate. <br />C:\Granicus\Legistar5\L5\Temp\7ce2ccb9-a61e-4852-b229-6a5b815412e8.doc Page 1 of 2 <br />si4 <br />
