Title
Requesting Approval of ECUA's Professional Services Agreement for Recyclables
Summary
The Sanitation Dept. requests the discussion of and approval to enter into a professional services agreement with Emerald Coast Utilities Authority (ECUA) in Pensacola, Flordia, concerning their acceptance of collected City of Foley co-mingle recyclables. Because there are no other facilities in this area that will accept recyclables, and because the collected co-mingle recyclables must be processed and sorted into separate comodities so as to facilitate their resale so that the recyclable materials may be recycled and put to beneficial use, ECUA in Pensacola, Florida, accepted co-mingled recyclables from the City of Foley on a trial basis. However, the trial time has ended, and a contract proposal has been submitted. The contract is in the amount of revenue or expense determined by a referenced market price index for recyclable commodities. This contract would be mutually beneficial to both entities.
