The city currently contracts with three haulers: Browning- <br />Ferris Industries (BFI), Randy's Sanitation, Inc., and Corrow Sanitation. A copy of one <br />of these identical contracts is attached. There is also a map attached to this memo <br />showing the territory of each hauler. <br /> <br />Staff and the haulers have reached a recommended agreement on the renewal of their <br />contracts. The major changes in the new contracts are as follows: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. Recyclables will be picked up weekly versus biweekly (starting 1/1/00), <br />. a 60 gallon container will be an added service (starting 1/1/00); this container will <br />offer an alternative to the 90 gallon for people who faithfully recycle, but still can <br />not fit into a 32 gallon can, <br />. the new contract has specific language regarding the Elk River Landfill, if the city <br />should decide not to have its refuse go to the Refuse Derived Fuel Plant, <br />. a 3 percent or more increase in the CPI in a given year triggers an automatic <br />review of what the city pays the haulers, but not an automatic increase in their <br />pay, and <br />. the contract period is proposed to be extended from three years to five. <br /> <br />The following are the current and proposed prices paid to the haulers each month to pick- <br />up each size container: <br /> <br />Container size <br />32 gallon biweekly <br />32 gallon weekly <br />60 gallon weekly <br />90 gallon weekly <br />2-90 gallon weekly <br /> <br />Current <br />$9.40 <br />$9.40 <br /> <br />Proposed <br />$9.10 <br />$9.20 <br />$9.30 <br />$9.40 <br />$10.50 <br /> <br />new <br />$9.40 <br />$10.00 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
