l.il Bff March 23, 2005 Mr. Steve Gillett Director Of Public Works City of LaPorte Dear Mr. Gillett: BFI has been privileged to provide waste collection services to commercial customers of La Porte for the last 15 years. We have taken great pride in providing the quality of service you expect and BFI demands. Our current waste collection contract will end October 31, 2005. However, the existing contract does allow for a three- year (3) extension upon request by BFI and approval by the City of La Porte. At this time BFI would like to request the three (3) year extension of our current contract for Collection and Disposal of Commercial Solid Waste. The annual cost of living adjustment, allowed in the current contract, is at 3% for the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-D), all items, U. S. City average for February 2005. To show good faith in our request for the extension, BFI is only requesting a 2.5% rate adjustment. The need to recover a portion of the fuel expenditure drives our request for the rate adjustment. I am enclosing a copy of the CPI printout. Should the contract extension be approved, the rate adjustment would become effective, along with the extension, on November 1,2005. We are willing to extend the contract with the same terms and conditions of the existing one. BFI makes a commitment to the City of La Porte to continue to provide assistance with City projects as well as support of La Porte organizations and community events. It is our sincere desire to continue with our "Partnership" with the City of La Porte. Sincerely, BFI / ALLIED WASTE SERVICES OF TEXAS LP l11 \/~~?C Pa~ Welhom Public Sector Acct. Mgr.
