BREVAR <br />HI,BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />FLORIDA'S SPACE COAST <br />DISTRICT 4 COMMISSION OFFICE <br />2725 Judge Fran Jamieson Way, #C-214 <br />Viera, FL 32940-6698 <br />May 2, 2014 <br />Waste Management Inc. of Florida <br />7382 Talona Drive <br />West Melbourne, FL 32904 <br />Re: Letter of Professional Recommendation <br />To Whom it May Concern: <br />T: 321 633-2044 <br />F: 321 633-2121 <br />As Chair of the Brevard County Board of County Commissioners, I am pleased to write a letter of <br />professional recommendation for Waste Management Inc. of Florida for solid waste, recycling, yard <br />waste, and related services. <br />Waste Management has provided exceptional service to the residents and businesses of Brevard <br />County for more than four decades. During that time, the company and its professional staff have <br />more than proven their commitment to the County by providing outstanding service, engaging our <br />communities with new innovative technology to aid in our environmental sustainability, and offering <br />tremendous support to charitable, community, and civic organizations. In the interest of transparency, <br />the Board elected to place the contract out for proposals in 2012. In 2013, the Board once again <br />voiced its support for Waste Management and voted to renew the County's contract with Waste <br />Management. <br />Once again, Waste Management has proven that it is the leader in the environmental services <br />industry. As part of our renewal, the company committed to convert its fleet to clean -burning, <br />environmentally friendly compressed natural gas -fueled trucks, which are now operational in our <br />County. Construction is underway on the Brevard County Waste Management/Single Stream <br />Recyclers Materials Recovery Facility, a state-of-the-art recycling processing center. This high tech <br />facility is on track to be operational in September 2014, bringing with it 50 new jobs at full <br />employment, a $12 million capital investment, and an annual economic impact of over $4 million. <br />And, if that were not enough, Waste Management more than proved its efficiency and leadership in <br />transitioning nearly 99,000 households in unincorporated Brevard County in 2013 to automated solid <br />waste and recycling cart service. <br />Innovation. Impeccable service. Unwavering community support. All of these words describe Waste <br />Management and serve as the backbone of a longstanding relationship with Brevard County that will <br />be solid for many years to come. <br />goiA)A<: <br />Hon.
