Ordinance
Type I and Type IV Contract
Budgeted Item: YES
The City of La Porte had five (5) year contracts with Waste Management (formerly Sanifill) for the
disposal of Type I (garbage) and. Type N (trash), Both contracts expired on March 31, 2000,
Waste Management agreed to extent the current contracts for an additional year, until March 31,
2001, to give the parties time to develop new contracts.
Since that time, Waste Management sold its Type N landfill to Waste Corporation of Texas, Waste
Management of Texas has proposed a new, five (5) year contract, and offex: disposal of both Type I
and Type N waste at its Baytown Landfill. Contracts for both types are attached. Although the
Type N rate ($4.75) is higher than the rate proposed by Waste Corporation of Texas ($4,00), it
would be advantageous to have a back-up disposal contract for Type IV waste, and it is
recommended that the City enter into this contract for an alternative disposal site for Type IV waste,
The rate proposed for Type I waste ($5.40) is less than the rate allowed in the third year of the
previous contract ($5.85). The proposed contracts are under the same terms and conditions as the
current contract, and provide for annual adjustment of rates based on the Consumer Price Index,
Action Required bv Council: Approve an ordinance authorizing the City Manager to execute
agreements for Type I and Type N solid waste disposal between the City of La Porte and Waste
Management of Texas, Inc.
