Body
SUMMARY:
On September 7, 2017, Council approved an agreement with AshBritt, Inc. of Deerfield Beach, Florida, for disaster debris removal and disposal services, as recommended by the selection committee for the City’s Request for Proposals 15-17. Approved at the same time was an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) with Pinellas County to allow the City, as a participating agency, the option to engage contractor(s) for post-disaster debris collection/removal and/or post-disaster debris removal monitoring services. AshBritt, Inc. is one of several debris removal contractors chosen by the County to provide these services to participating agencies.
On October 5, 2017, Council authorized the City Manager to execute an amendment to the agreement with AshBritt, Inc. of Deerfield Beach, FL for the modification of pricing rates for Disaster Debris Collection and Removal Services, to add the “per cubic yard” rates from AshBritt’s County contract to the existing contract, which provided the flexibility of using either “per ton” rates or “per cubic yard” rates. Included in the adopted rates was a scrivener’s error in the Management & Reduction category and the line entitled Grinding. The correct amount should have been $4.25/cubic yard versus $2.40/cubic yard.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
All hurricane-related expenditures are being captured as part of a special project entitled Hurricane Irma, Project #98610.
