recommendation
BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
GCMPC staff is requesting approval of the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Services Contract extension with Arcwood Environmental, Inc. dba ERG Environmental Services, to establish a Purchase Order, and for Board Chairperson, Dale K. Weighill to sign the agreement.
BACKGROUND:
In September 2023, a Request for Proposals (RFP) was released to solicit contractors to provide household hazardous waste (HHW) and electronics collection services. Four proposals were received and evaluated through a scoring process, resulting in an awarded contract to ERG Environmental Services, effective January 25, 2024, through January 24, 2025. Due to the excellent level of service provided by ERG thus far, GCMPC is proposing to extend the contract. The original contract allows for three one-year extensions.
This extension will be the third year of the four-year agreement for the period of February 10, 2026, through February 9, 2027. The is no change in cost from the original agreement.
DISCUSSION:
GCMPC has scheduled four Recycle Day events for 2026 where HHW and electronics will be collected. The public demand for HHW and electronic disposal remains high in 2026. There are 952 appointments available for Genesee County residents, all were fully booked within 2 days. Since then, there have been 2,217 total waitlist signups.
Staff is recommending approval to create a purchase order and enter a contract extension with Arcwood Environmental Inc. to perform HHW collection services for one additional year per the contractual extension terms attached and for Board Chairperson Dale K. Weighill to sign the contract extension.
