ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: September 5, 2013 Action Agenda Item No. 5 -m SUBJECT: Amendment to the Household Hazardous Waste Services Agreement DEPARTMENT: Solid Waste Management PUBLIC HEARING: (Y /N) No ATTACHMENT(S): HHW Agreement Amendment Existing HHW Agreement INFORMATION CONTACT: Gayle Wilson, 919 - 968 -2885 John Roberts, 919 - 245 -2318 1 PURPOSE: To approve an amendment to the existing Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) services agreement to include the provision of services at the Walnut Grove Church Road Solid Waste Convenience Center when it starts being open on Thursdays beginning on September 12, 2013. BACKGROUND: The local HHW program was established in 1994. In March 2012 the BOCC awarded the contract for these services to Clean Harbors Environmental Services, Inc. The BOCC, through the recent adoption of the FY 2013/14 Budget, authorized schedule changes for two solid waste convenience centers to be open on Thursdays beginning in September 2013. The existing HHW agreement includes the provision of HHW services at Walnut Grove. However, the HHW contract does not currently include and account financially for the additional HHW service each Thursday. The attached amendment revises the existing agreement to include the additional day per week at Walnut Grove Church Road Solid Waste Convenience Center. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The additional cost for providing HHW services on Thursdays is $150 /month. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board: 1) approve the amendment to the Household Hazardous Waste Services Agreement with Clean Harbors Environmental Services, Inc.; 2) authorize the Chair to sign the Amendment; and 3) authorize the Manager to sign any further amendments to the Household Hazardous Waste Services Agreement for amendments with amounts up to the Manager's contract signature authority.
