Contract Extension for Single Stream Recycling Contract
To approve a one year extension, July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018, of the
current contract for the transportation and processing of the City’s with single
stream recyclables with to Casella Recycling LLC of Charlestown, MA in the
amount of $249,925.00. This extension will be pending approval of the FY18
operating budget. Funding through Department 168 Solid Waste; Fund: Solid
Waste; Account Classification: 55 Other Contracted Services.
Casella LLC cost proposal for July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018
This contract extension will continue to provide transportation and processing of
single stream recyclables. The vendor has agreed to hold the current contracted
rate through June 30, 2018.
Casella’s processing cost of $35/ton is a ceiling price which will be reduced if the
recycling markets improve. Casella had submitted a formula, for the FY2017
contract, that would reduce the processing cost through a revenue share. Casella
has agreed to continue with the same processing cost reduction formula for
revenue sharing for FY2018.
