Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The Department of Public Service, Division of Refuse Collection, provides Columbus residents with weekly yard waste collection through a contract with Rumpke of Ohio, Inc. This separate collection is necessary to segregate yard waste that can be composted and recycled from the regular waste stream; this serves to extend the life of the landfill operated by the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio (SWACO) and increases weekly refuse container capacity for residents. Landfill diversion requirements are established by Ohio Revised Code.

The city entered into contract for said services in 2010. This will be the second year of a 3-year contract with an estimated time frame of April 20, 2010 to March 31, 2013 and two 1-year renewal periods thereafter. This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify the contract to increase the dollar amount for the second year of the 3-year term, with 2-1 year renewal options, and to authorize the expenditure of $3,824,496.00 for the second year of service.

Street-side yard-waste collection service will be provided to approximately 227,000 households.

2. CONTRACT COMPLIANCE
Rumpke of Ohio, Incorporated's contract compliance number is 31-1617611; this expires January 25, 2012.

3. FISCAL IMPACT
The Division of Refuse Collection has a total of $3,824,496.00 budgeted in the General Fund for yard-waste collection services in 2011.

4. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency action is requested to allow timely execution of this contract and to ensure an uninterrupted supply of service.
