AGENDA REQUEST & STAFF REPORT
For Board Business Meeting of October 24, 2011
Please see directions for completing this document on the next page.
DATE: October 19,2011.
FROM: Timm Schimke. Solid Waste 317-3177
TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM:
Consideration of Board Signature of Document No. 2011-648, Contracting for Operational Services at
the Negus Transfer Station.
PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS DATE? No.
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
The County elected to use contract services for operational assistance at the Negus Transfer Station in
2008 as the site expanded to a 7 day per week operation. Deschutes Transfer Company, which provides
franchised transfer services for the Department of Sold Waste transfer stations, was awarded the
contract. The agreement needs to be renewed, and the Department issued a request for proposals for the
work. Deschutes Transfer Company submitted the only response to our solicitation.
We have been very pleased with the company's performance over the last three years. Their proposal
includes a cost increase for the service of about 15% from 2008 costs. It should be noted that additional
services have been incorporated into the new agreement from those specified in 2008, including the
requirement to provide a fork lift at the site.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
We are proposing a five-year agreement for the services. The proposed cost is $69,600 for the first
year. The agreement also has provisions for annual cost adjustments based on changes to the Consumer
Price Index (CPI). These changes have minimum and maximum limits consistent with the County's use
of the CPI in labor agreements. Sufficient funds are budgeted for the services.
RECOMMENDATION & ACTION REQUESTED:
Deschutes Transfer Company has provided excellent service to the Department in the past. They bring
efficiencies to both the operations as well as the transport aspect of the transfer station and, as a result,
provide the specified services at a lower cost than the Department could provide with County resources.
The Department recommends signature of Document No. 2011-648 for Operational Services at Negus
Transfer Station
ATTENDANCE: Timm Schimke
DISTRIBUTION OF DOCUMENTS:
Return copies to Solid Waste for distribution.
