THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE,ARKANSAS DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE TO: Fred Hanna, Mayor THRU: Kevin Crosson, Public Works Director ik FROM: Cheryl Zotti, Environmental Affairs Administrator CCry DATE: January 22, 1998 SUBJECT: CONTRACT AMENDMENT SUNRAY SERVICES,INCORPORATED Sunray Services, Incorporated has submitted an amendment which would amend our contractual agreement by decreasing our disposal fees from$29.20 per ton to $27.20 per ton, a$2.00 reduction. Sunray is proposing a reduction in fees because they have changed disposal sites. Sunray is now transporting all waste received at the city's transfer station to a landfill owned and operated by USA Waste, in Tontitown,Arkansas. Sunray was previously transporting the waste to a landfill located near Stilwell, Oklahoma(Cherokee Nation Landfill). Reduced driving time when transporting our waste has allowed Sunray to decrease the transportation fees by $2.00 per ton. I have attached a copy of our contractual agreement with Sunray. Section 3, Fees, details the fees that Sunray is entitled to charge for the services they provide. The amendment changes Section 3. (b) by reducing the fee for transporting our waste from 7.07 per ton to 5.07 per ton. We estimate that we will recognize a savings of approximately $70,000 per year, through this reduction. Because this reduces our contract amount, the only action required to approve this amendment is your signature. Staff recommends approval of this amendment. Should you have any questions, please call me.
