FROM WlfA& (Willy) Gort REFERENCES
/Commissioner ENCLOSURES -
I would like to bring up for discussion purposes at the September 28, 1998, Commission
Meeting an item regarding solid waste. I would like to recommend to the City
Administration that a hold be placed on the issuance of one year solid waste collection
permits with temporary month -to month permits issued until the City has determined
whether to franchise the commercial Solid Waste. I also believe that we should allow the
current haulers and anyone else that wishes to participate to let us know what options are
available to them.
As part of my recommendation I would like to suggest to the City Administration to
request from all the haulers curr..ntly doing business within the City of Miami to provide
a proposal or proposals to the City's franchise rights. These proposals may be for all or
part of the city and at minimum shall contain the qualifications of the proposer and the
benefits to the city for the award of the commercial solid waste franchise. The City
Manager and his staff will review the proposals and to rank these proposals for purposes
of competitively negotiating the award by the City. Such award shall be at the City's sole
discretion and the City reserves the right to reject all proposals. The process shall be
completed within thirty (30) days from the initial notice to the current haulers and during
the time the proposals are sought and considered, the Solid Waste Permits are to be
ittued on a month -to -month temporary haaiis with thirty (10) day notice to terminate.
Thank you for your cooperation.
