(D) RECYCLABLE GOODS MARKETING SERVICES (ANNUAL CONTRACT)? RFP NO. 09-0019



It is requested that Council authorize execution of a contract with Pratt

Industries Recycling Division to market recyclable goods and share revenue

received from the sale of the recyclable goods. Columbus Consolidated

Government will sort and process these recyclable goods.



Currently, the City is contracted with Goodwill to receive and market the

City?s picked up recycle materials, such as newspapers, magazines etc?

However, on July 1, 2009 Goodwill will no longer accept recycle materials.

When the City was made aware of Goodwill?s decision, an RFP was advertised

February 18, 2009 in an attempt to obtain another vendor who would provide and

operate a MRF for the City. No vendors submitted proposals, but did indicate

that the market was such that it would not be profitable for them to make the

capital investment needed to provide and operate a MRF. Consequently, the

RFP was re-written for the City to provide and operate the MRF with a vendor

picking up and marketing the recyclables. The City will utilize the

warehouse, located off Victory Drive at #25 22nd Avenue, as the MRF location.

It is estimated that 250 tons of recyclable materials, per month, will be

processed.



The term of this contract shall be for three years, with the option to renew

for a two (2) year period. Contract renewal will be contingent upon the mutual

agreement of the City and the Contractor.



Request for proposal postcard invitations were mailed to twenty-nine vendors.

This RFP has been advertised and posted on the City?s web page. One proposal

was received on May 14, 2009 from the following offeror:



Pratt Industries Recycling Division (East Point, GA)



Pratt Industries Recycling Division proposes the following:



To help the City equip the MRF, Pratt Industries Recycling Division will lease

a Bailer & Sorting Tables to Columbus Consolidated Government. As well as,

handle any and all repairs of said equipment at the Customers site. The City

will only be responsible for the cost of repairs in the event damage to

equipment is due to the direct neglect or misuse of the equipment.



Pratt Industries Recycling Division shall pay the City for the Recyclable

Materials that are bought by Pratt Recycling per the proposed Rebate Schedule.)



Pratt Industries Recycling Division shall be solely responsible for marketing

the processed commodities.



Pratt Industries Recycling Division agrees to use its commercially reasonable

efforts to sell all Recyclable Material from the Site.



Pratt Industries Recycling Division agrees to provide quarterly reports on the

tons recycled through the program.



The proposal was reviewed by the Evaluation Committee members, which consisted

of representatives from the Public Services Department and the City Attorney?s

office. The City?s Procurement Ordinance, Article 3-110, Competitive Sealed

Proposals for the procurement of Equipment, Supplies and Professional Services,

governs the RFP Process. During the process of an RFP there is no formal

opening, due to the possibility of negotiated components of the proposal. In

the event Council does not approve the recommended offeror, no proposal

responses or any negotiated components are made public until after the award of

the contract. The rebate schedule information has been submitted to the City

Manager in a separate memo for informational purposes.



Recycling Revenue will be deposited as follows: Integrated Waste Management

Fund ? Government Wide Revenue ? Recycling Fees; 0207-099-1999-REVN-4558.
