SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS

Approve Agreement Between the City of Tampa and the School Board of Hillsborough County for Solid Waste Collection and Removal from School and Administrative Sites Within the City of Tampa

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

School Board staff has been working with the City of Tampa on an agreement for the collection and disposal of garbage (the "Agreement"). The agreement price reflects a 10% discount below the normal rates for commercial services. The City of Tampa's Code of Ordinances requires an agreement when providing solid waste services to governmental units at a discounted rate.

Due to the long standing historical relationship between the parties, and for administrative efficiency, it is recommended that the Agreement between the City and School Board be automatically renewed each year (April 1st through March 31st), subject to either party terminating the Agreement with at least sixty (60) days notice, and the terms and conditions as specified within the Agreement.

ANNUAL DISTRICT GOAL(S) AND CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTOR(S)

Provide adequate school facilities for the accomplishment of all District Goals and Critical Success Factors.

FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted: Yes)

Funds in the amount of $84,169.82 per month have been budgeted in the general operating fund.
