Proposed Amendment 2 Gayle Wilson, 919-968-2885 <br /> 2. Original Contract (Effective May 15, John Roberts, 919-245-2318 <br /> 2012) <br /> 3. Amendment 1 (Adopted September 5, <br /> 2013) <br /> PURPOSE: To approve an extension of the contract with Clean Harbors Environmental <br /> Services, a Massachusetts corporation, for the collection, processing and disposal of Household <br /> Hazardous Wastes. <br /> BACKGROUND: Since 2003 the County has operated a permanent household hazardous <br /> wastes collection program on the landfill site at Eubanks Road through contract services. <br /> Following a request for proposals in 2012, Clean Harbors Environmental Services was awarded <br /> a contract to collect, process and dispose of household hazardous wastes for a five year period, <br /> with the County having the option to extend the contract for two (2) additional two (2) year <br /> periods. <br /> In 2013 the contract was amended to expand the program to include collection at the Walnut <br /> Grove Waste and Recycling Center. <br /> The proposed two year contract extension anticipates the move of the Eubanks Road Landfill <br /> collection site to the renovated Eubanks Waste and Recycling Center and resulting expansion of <br /> service hours. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: Funds are budgeted annually for the household hazardous waste <br /> program. A total of $220,400 was budgeted for the current fiscal year, and $240,000 was <br /> requested in the proposed Solid Waste Management Department budget for the 2017-18 fiscal <br /> year. <br /> SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goal is applicable to <br /> this item: <br /> • GOAL: ESTABLISH SUSTAINABLE AND EQUITABLE LAND-USE AND <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES <br />
