Lieske, Director of Utility Services <br />Prepared By: Himanshu H. Mehta, PE, Managing Director, Solid Waste Disposal District <br />Subject: Adoption Agreement with US Ecology <br />Descriptions and Conditions: <br />The Indian River County (IRC) Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) is responsible for providing for the collection, <br />transportation, and proper disposal of household hazardous waste (HHW) discarded by residents within IRC at the <br />Customer Convenience Centers and Landfill. We utilize a piggyback process from other local and state contracts to <br />provide household hazardous waste (HHW) recycling and disposal services to our residents. For Fiscal Year (FY) 2021- <br />2022, we issued a purchase order to US Ecology of Tampa, Inc. (US Ecology) that had a contract with Hillsborough <br />County. However, that contract expired and US Ecology has entered into a new contract with Hillsborough County. <br />The purpose of this agenda is to enter into an Adoption Agreement with US Ecology to piggyback the most recent <br />Hillsborough County contract as well as to include additional mobilization costs and services that are specific to IRC. <br />Analysis: <br />Staff has been utilizing US Ecology for over 10 years for our HHW Services and recommends that the SWDD Board <br />approve the attached Adoption Agreement. <br />Funding: <br />Funding for the SWDD Landfill HHW services is budgeted and available in the SWDD/Landfill/Other Contractual <br />Services account, number 41121734-033490 which is funded from SWDD assessments and user fees. For FY <br />2021/2022, the budget for HHW services is $300,000, and the proposed budget for FY 2022/2023 is $330,000. <br />Description <br />I Account Number <br />Amount <br />El <br />SWDD/Landfill/ Other Contractual Services <br />1 41121734-033490 <br />$330,000 <br />Recommendation: <br />Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) staff recommends that its Board approve the Adoption Agreement with US <br />Ecology of Tampa, Inc.; and authorize the Chairman to execute the same, as presented. <br />Attachment: <br />Adoption Agreement with US Ecology of Tampa, Inc. <br />SWDD Agenda - Adoption Agreement with US Ecology Page 1 of 1 <br />
