Title
Approval of Amendment No. 2 to AGR18-01-A2 Novation from Friedman Recycling to Waste Connections of New Mexico, Inc., for Mixed Recycling Services
Recommended Action
I move that the County Council approve Amendment No. 2 to AGR18-01-A2 Novation from Friedman Recycling to Waste Connections of New Mexico, Inc., for Mixed Recycling Services.
County Manager’s Recommendation
The County Manager recommends that Council approve the motion as presented.
Body
Services Agreement No. 18-01 to perform Mixed Recycling Services was executed on September 26, 2017, for a term of seven years. Amendment AGR 18-01-A1 was made to AGR18-01 on September 11, 2019, which amended the total compensation as well as the compensation schedule to reflect changes in the global recycle market.
The proposed amendment will assign the agreement to Waste Connections of New Mexico, Inc. The original agreement was with Friedman Recycling of Albuquerque, LLC., which was acquired by Waste Connections of New Mexico, Inc., on January 1, 2022. The company services have not changed, and staff is confident that Waste Connections of New Mexico, Inc., will continue to provide Los Alamos County with quality mixed recycling services. At this time, Waste Connections of New Mexico, Inc., is the only New Mexico contractor available to provide mixed recycle services.
Alternatives
If the amendment is not approved the current agreement will be null and void. LAC would be required to solicit for a new mixed recycling services provider and this will interrupt current recycling services.
Fiscal and Staff Impact
There will be no fiscal impacts, there are no changes to the compensation of the agreement.
