City of Hermosa Beach -- 06-26-01

LETTER AGREEMENT EXTENDING BROWNING-FERRIS INDUSTRIES' CONTRACT
ON A MONTH-TO-MONTH BASIS

 

Recommendation:

That the City Council approve the attached letter agreement extending the existing contract under its current terms and conditions on a month-to-month basis.

Background:

The existing refuse contract with Browning-Ferris Industries Inc. (BFI) is due to expire on June 30, 2001. They have agreed to continue service on a month-to-month basis until a decision is reached on the new agreement.

As you know, the City requested proposals from companies interested in providing solid waste services to the City. A total of six (6) proposals have been received and are being evaluated by staff. The evaluation and contract negotiation process will probably take 60 days to complete. BFI has agreed to continue to provide service during this time. A letter agreement is attached for your review and approval.


 

Mr. Doug Moore, General Manager
Browning-Ferris Industries, Inc.

Gardena, California 90247

Dear Doug:

This is a follow-up to our conversation concerning extending the existing agreement between the City of Hermosa Beach and Browning-Ferris Industries on a month-to-month basis under the same terms and conditions. As you are aware, the City has received proposals from six companies, including BFI, to provide solid waste services. City staff is in the process of evaluating these proposals and will shortly be providing a recommendation to the City Council.

I would propose that this letter serve as an agreement between the City of Hermosa Beach and Browning-Ferris Industries Inc. for purposes of extending the existing agreement dated July 29, 1995 on a month-to-month basis.

If I can be of further assistance or answer any questions, please do not hesitate to call Monday through Thursday, 7:00am to 6:00pm at (310) 318-0216.
