Title, Order
Authorizing Execution of a 10-Year Contract with Pine Tree, Inc. for Automated Commingled Curbside
Refuse/Recycling Collection
This order will authorize a contract with Pine Tree Waste for automated residential curbside
collection of commingled solid waste and recycling. The automated collection system will utilize a
specialized truck capable of lifting specific trash bins or "totes". Because of the significant
investment in these items Pine Tree, Inc. requires a ten (10) year contract. The original bid
provided that this collection method is estimated to save $34,000 annually.
Additionally, the city has the option to further reduce the contract price by providing 100% of the
fuel for the operation of these trucks as well as making an upfront balloon payment, for every
$100,000 payment made the contract price would be reduced by $115,000 over the life of the
contract.
The estimated start date of the automated collection is July 1, 2020. The signing of this contract
would terminate the current agreement for residential curbside collection and replace the agreement
with a new one that includes automated collection.
