Explanation
The Public Service Department, Refuse Collection Division, has contracted (under several contracts) with Rumpke of Ohio, Incorporated, since September 1994 to provide weekly yard waste collection services to Columbus residents. The current contract for yard waste collection with Rumpke commenced March 1, 2001 for a five-year period contingent upon annual funding approval from City Council. This was initially authorized by Ordinance 0365-2001 (passed February 26, 2001); it authorized $2,654,646 to be expended from March 1, 2001 through February 28, 2002 (12 months' funding). This contract has been modified and increased in subsequent years as follows:

· Ordinance 0346-2002 (passed March 4, 2002) authorized $2,163,864 to be expended from March 1, 2002 through February 28, 2003 (12 months' funding)
· Ordinance 0312-2003 (passed February 24, 2003) authorized $1,989,480 to be expended from March 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003 (10 months' funding)
· Ordinance 0401-2004 (passed March 15, 2004) authorized $2,643,448 to be expended from January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004 (12 months' funding)
· Ordinance 0057-2005 (passed February 14, 2005) authorized $3,242,300 to be expended from January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005 (12 months' funding)

The existing contract balance is $548,345.12. It is estimated that $900,000.00 is needed to cover billings for December 2005 and January and February 2006. The difference between these numbers is $351,654.88.

This ordinance authorizes the Public Service Director to modify and increase the existing yard waste collection contract with Rumpke of Ohio, Incorporated, for the period January 1 through February 28, 2006.

Rumpke's contract compliance number is 31-1617611; this expires April 18, 2008.

Fiscal Impact: The Refuse Collection Division has allocated $3,925,906.00 in the pending 2006 General Fund budget for yard waste collection for the period January 1- December 31, 2006. This ordina...
