Motion 24-088, authorizing the County Executive to sign Professional Services Agreement CC03-24 with Financial Consulting Solutions Group, Inc. for a Solid Waste Rate Study
body
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
ORIGINATOR: Lori Ericsson
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Ken Klein 2/12/24
PURPOSE: Approval of Agreement CC03-24 will allow Snohomish County Public Works to use Financial Consulting Solutions Group, Inc. to complete a Solid Waste Rate Study.
BACKGROUND: Currently, the Public Works Solid Waste Division (SW) charges fees for a variety of programs including Solid Waste tipping, residual reclamation waste, organics, vactor, environmental clean-up program, hard-to-handle waste streams, and hazardous waste disposal. SW has not completed a review and analysis of their program fees since 2007. Revised rates from this study were implemented in 2009. If approved, this agreement will allow Public Works to obtain a new rate study for its Solid Waste programs. On December 4, 2023, the Executive approved ECAF 2023-1447 to waive the competitive process under SCC 3.04.203 and Purchasing Policy POL-1733-01 as this work relates to the generation of a report and recommendation. An agreement with Financial Consulting Solutions Group, Inc. was negotiated. The total budget for this ECAF is $66,770, which includes the agreement amount of $60,700 and an additional 10% contingency amount of $6,070, for allowable unforeseen costs. The approving motion for the agreement authorizes the Public Works Director or Deputy Director to approve and execute amendments to the agreement within this total budgeted amount.
