REPORT #: WD 46 g7 FILE #: _ SUBJECT: REFUSE COLLECTION SERVICE - BOWMANVILLE URBAN AREA RECOMMENDATIONS: It is respectfully recommended: 1. That Report WD-46-87 be received; and, 2. That the refuse collection service in the Bowmanville Urban Area be awarded to a private contractor as per the recommendation of Report TR-53-87. . . .2 Page 2 Report No. WD-46-87 REPORT: Tenders were called for Refuse Collection and Disposal for the Bowmanville Urban Area. These bids were received and are included in Report TR-53-87. For the Bowmanville area, the annualized cost of the low bid would be $228,827.88 (12 x 19,068.99). Actual cost of collection and disposal in Bowmanville in 1984, 1985, and 1986 were $265,729.00, $281,515.00, and $302,710.00, respectively. The 1987 Budget taking into account additional travel time to the Brock West Landfill Site was set at $376,297. If Town staff are to continue providing collection in Bowmanville, it would require the purchase of two side loading, one-man packers, at a capital cost of approximately $200,000.00 and the budget for 1988, providing the one-man packers were in operation, would be approximately $300,000.00 to go to the local landfill site, or $450.000.00 to go the Brock West Landfill Site in Pickering. Presently, the garbage collection service is being operated with one leadhand, one truck driver and a combination of labourers, part-time labourers and students as hoisters. It is proposed that if the decision to contract is made, the existing staff involved in the operation would be reallocated to other Public Works activities. This would be consistent with the intent of the Collective Agreement which does not allow contracting out if it results in layoff. . . .3 Page 3 Report No. WD-46-87 The low bidder is presently under contract with the Town for collection and disposal services in Newcastle Village and Orono and to date have been providing good service. Tenders related to garbage collection in the Courtice Urban Area are presently under consideration to be reported at a subsequent meeting. It is, therefore, recommended that the refuse collection service in the Bowmanville Urban Area be awarded as per the recommendation of Report TR-53-87. /Respectf y sub mitte Recommended for presentation to the Committee, oron .
