Two proposals were submitted and staff found the proposal from Skookum Contract Services to be the most responsive based on RFP criteria. Staff has successfully negotiated a contract with Skookum Contract Services. Analysis/Strategic Goals/Pro's Et Con's: The Recycling Services Agreement maintains the current level of service and includes provisions to reduce the contamination rate in collected materials which may increase the commodity value thereby offsetting program costs. Fiscal Impact/Cost Benefit Analysis: Under this five-year Agreement, service fees are offset by revenue from sales of recyclable commodities. The contract value of $2,977,715 is expected to be offset by $1,788,833 in commodity sales for a net program cost of $1,188,882. This project has been budgeted for in the 2022-2023 budget request. Program costs are paid for with revenue from municipal solid waste disposal fees. Recommendation: Execute contract.
