Report
Summary
The City of Phoenix and Waste Management mutually agree it is beneficial and good business for each party to use the transfer station owned by the other on a reciprocal basis to support operations. This agreement creates business efficiencies for managing refuse collection and disposal with vehicle routing that reduces excessive travel time and distances, reduces air pollution, and maximizes fuel economy.
Contract Term
The initial term of the agreement will be for one year with an option for four one-year extensions.
Financial Impact
This agreement will be conducted as a ton-for-ton exchange with no monetary value. In the event of an emergency that requires either party to exceed the agreed-upon amount of tonnage, the exceeding party will be compensated by paying the disposal associated gate rate or price per ton.
