Board of Commissioners SWDD Meeting Minutes - Final March 11, 2025 <br />Attachments: Staff Report <br />Updated SWDD CCC Policy and Procedure <br />Himanshu Mehta, the Managing Director of the Solid Waste Disposal District <br />(SAIDD), presented an update through a PowerPoint regarding the Invitation to <br />Bid (ITB) for the landfill and Customer Convenience Centers (CCC). <br />An agreement with Republic Services concerning the County's Class 1 landfill, <br />initially signed in November 2010, and extended in February 2017, had a revised <br />expiration date of September 30, 2025, following a nine-month extension. <br />Two ITBs were released for landfill operations and the five CCCs on January 10, <br />2025. Mr. Mehta clarified that the ITB was divided into Phase I for Vendor <br />Qualification and Phase 11 for Vendor Bids. The SWDD staff recommended a <br />10 -year agreement covering October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2035, with an <br />option to renew for another 10 years. <br />Potential vendors were requested to submit bids for operations seven days a <br />week and an alternative proposal should the landfill be closed on Sundays, based <br />on traffic studies showing low tonnage on that day. <br />Although the current CCC hours would remain the same, a Sunday closure could <br />influence the landfill's operation schedule. Mr. Mehta stressed the importance of a <br />fair and transparent bidding procedure, complying with the Cone of Silence <br />regulation that took effect on January 10, 2025. <br />Chairman Flescher thanked Mr. Mehta for the update. <br />No Action Taken or Required <br />Indian River County, Florida Page 3 <br />
