ADMIN. 6-94
Subject:
MUNICIPAL GARBAGE COLLECTION
Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and
Administration Committee recommend to Council the following;
1 . That Report ADMIN. 6-94 be received;
2 . That the Director of Public Works be instructed to
prepare tender documents for a five year contract for
garbage collection based on the present service provided
by the Contractor representing the Municipality; and
3 . That tenders be called in a timely manner in order to
commence service on January 1, 1995 .
BACKGROUND AND COMMENT;
Prior to 1985, garbage collection was provided to the
residents of Bowmanville by municipal forces with no other areas in
the municipality receiving such service. In 1986, the municipality
entered into a two year agreement with Browning Ferris Industries
for collection in the Newcastle, Orono, and Courtice urban areas .
Two contracts were in effect in 1987, one for collection
in Bowmanville, and one in the other urban areas . Both contracts
expired on December 31, 1988.
In 1988 the Municipality negotiated a contract with
B.F. I . for five years, for the provision of garbage collection Town
wide. In 1992 the contract was extended for one year in exchange
for a "no increase" agreement to December 31, 1994.
Although Staff is satisfied with the service being
provided by B.F. I . , Clarington has not gone to tender for garbage
collection since 1985/86 . By doing so, the Municipality would not
only protect the tender process, but may also find that prices are
more competitive.

We would therefore recommend that Staff be instructed to
proceed to tender this service for 1995 .
Respectfully submitted,
