The Cycle of Waste Pays Off Big-Time Here in Mesa

Let's call it "Environmental Management and Sustainability". Sounds good huh?
Price Tag: $8,020,000
(Revised Contract due to requested increases in refuse, green, and recycle fee increases from multiple vendors as well as City tonnage growth.
That's the story in one contract award that mentions only one of six vendors in the contract approved by the Mesa City Council yesterday. Just "business-as-usual" . . . Hmmm 
Dollar-Limit Increase and Amendment, and One-Year Renewal with Three Years of Renewal Options to the Term Contract with United Fibers, LLC, for Recyclable Material Processing, as requested by the Environmental Management and Sustainability Department (Citywide)

The requested increase is due to refuse, green, and recycle fee increases from multiple vendors, based on the agreement, as well as City tonnage growth. This is one of six vendors awarded this contract to provide solid waste disposal, recyclable materials processing, and vegetative waste processing services.

The contracts with the other vendors have different contract periods.

The Environmental Management and Sustainability Department and Purchasing recommend authorizing the amendment and renewal with United Fibers, LLC, and, to reflect the revised contract, increasing the dollar-limit of the multi-vendor Master Agreement by $170,000, which covers all Solid Waste Disposal, Recyclable Material Processing, and Vegetative Waste Processing Services, to $8,020,000, based on estimated usage.
