1 S.B. S. WASTE MANAGEMENT, INC. OF FLORIDA LANDFILL OPERATIONS
CONTRACT
Himanshu Mehta, Managing Director of the Solid Waste Disposal District, recapped the
memorandum of June 11, 2010 to provide background and analysis on the Landfill Operations
Contract with Waste Management, Inc. of Florida (WMIF), which was scheduled to end on June
30, 2010, unless extended for seven years by mutual agreement. He explained that Waste
Management had requested a rate increase, and after negotiations with staff, agreed to extend its
current contract at the current rate through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for three
(3) months, through September 30, 2010. Director Mehta asked the Board to approve the MOU;
stated that staff could not support a rate increase given the current budget constraints; and
requested that the Board authorize staff to solicit contractor bids for the Class I Landfill
operations.
MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Solari,
SECONDED by Commissioner Flescher, to approve staffs
recommendation.
Board members acknowledged Waste Management's excellent service and expressed
appreciation for its cooperation with the County.
Commissioner Wheeler pointed out that the bids received by other contractors might be
equivalent to, or higher than, Waste management's desired increase, and that the landfill
operations were mandatory, and funded as an annual fee, not from ad valorem taxes.
Carolyn Corum remarking on the idea expressed earlier by Vice Chairman Solari, said
that once a week trash service should reduce the cost for trash pickup. She also offered ideas to
