EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Northern Recycling Operations and Waste Services, LLC (NROWS) has requested consideration of a contract extension. Staff recommends hiring R3 Consulting Group, Inc. to aid the Authority in reviewing the scope of services provided by NROWS and determining whether negotiating a long-term extension is in the best interest of the Authority. R3 Consulting Group, Inc. has extensive experience conducting solid waste contract reviews and negotiations for public agencies and recently completed a review of DRTS Operation and Cost Increases. They are very familiar with solid waste practices in the NVWMA service area and are well-qualified to conduct negotiations and review for the Authority.
For $50,000, R3 will review the NROWS contract and the operational needs of DRTS, and help staff negotiate a long-term extension with NROWS if its determined to be in the best interest of the Authority. If negotiating a long-term extension with NROWS is not feasible or not in the best interest of the Authority, for an additional $60,000 R3 will assist staff in issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the operation of DRTS and help negotiate a new contract with the winner of the RFP process.
