Authorization for Contract with Solid Waste Services, Inc. (d/b/a J.P. Mascaro & Sons) in the amount of $34.85 per unit per month, to provide for the collection of municipal solid waste and delivery to the Contracted Disposal Facility, the collection and delivery of single-stream recycling and yard waste to the City's facility location, and to provide a Drop-off Center Attendant at $4,350.00 per month. The estimated amount for the first contract year is $16,320,165.00. This includes a maximum CPI adjustment of five (5%) percent to be applied for the contract commencement on 6/1/2025 and each year after the first-year term. There were two (2) bids; contract shall be for five (5) years beginning on the commencement date, June 1, 2025, and terminating May 31, 2030 and can be extended for up to an additional two (2) two (2) years beyond the contract expiration period at the sole discretion of the City.
I strongly urge Council to approve the contract. The option selected is the lower cost one and maintaining twice a week collection is critical to health and safety of Allentown residents. I would prefer continuing with WM because of better quality but willing to accept JP Mascaro, hoping their service will be better than in the past. Please vote Yes on the trash collection and disposal contract.
