Discussion and possible action to authorize an amendment of the Annual Contract with Regional Land Management Services, LTD., d/b/a Ponderosa Regional Landfill, as the sole bidder, for landfill disposal fees for services to Webb County, and to add the unit cost of $110.00 per disposal trip of sludge waste from the Rio Bravo Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant; and have the County Judge sign all relevant documents. [Account #801-3004-6703 (Wastewater Account-Landfill fees)]
Issue: Contract for landfill disposal specifications did not include the cost for roll off 30 yard containers use for transportation of sludge waste, therefore limiting the Wastewater Plant for disposal of solids.
Solution: Amend contract with Ponderosa as our sole bidder for this additional unit cost item.
Result: Continue normal disposal operations at plant.
Background:
Although existing contract does have unit cost for sludge waste disposal, it does not have a unit cost for the transport of sludge to the landfill.
Previous Court Action:
On 3/29/2016 the Court approved a contract with Regional Land Management Services, LTD., d/b/a Ponderosa Regional Landfill for disposal of waste including sewer plant sludge.
