15.B.2 RFA NO. 2009025 WASTE HAULING FRANCHISE -
UNINCORPORATED ENTERPRISE ZONE - APPLICATION
PROCESS UPDATE & NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING ON
MARCH 3, 2009
Himanshu Mehta, Managing Director of the Solid Waste Disposal District updated the
Board on the application process, and gave notice of a public meeting scheduled for March 3,
2009.
Director Mehta reported that during the application process there was a series of
questions from potential applicants. Staff issued an addendum in response, and one of the
response questions resulted in a protest by Capital Sanitation, which pertains to commercial
collection service in the unincorporated Enterprise Zone. The issue dealt with the existing
contracts in the unincorporated Enterprise Zone, which according to the Statutes in place, has to
be retained by the current franchise haulers. Therefore, if Waste Management or Treasure Coast
Refuse has existing commercial contracts, they will retain those contracts up until the point that
those contracts expire or are not renewed. He promised that staff would return to the Board on
March 3, 2009, with a recommendation.
Mr. Mehta thereafter responded to questions and concerns from Board members
regarding the franchise haulers, service routes, solicitation countywide, and being restricted to
the Enterprise Zone.
ON MOTION by Commissioner O'Bryan, SECONDED by
Commissioner Solari, the Board unanimously approved the
Notice to schedule a public meeting on March 3, 2009, to
approve or deny the applications for a third waste hauling
