Decision details

At the meeting of Council, the Officer’s Recommendation was moved by Councillor Scully, seconded by Councillor Kok -

It is resolved that:

(A)        Council note that there are extenuating circumstances, given the extensive tendering and consultation process undertaken in relation to the provision of cleansing and waste services and the efficiencies in one contractor providing these circumstances, such that a satisfactory result would not be achieved by going to tender on this matter;

(B)        Council approve a variation to the existing contract with Cleanaway Pty Ltd to amend the Contract Service Area to the whole of the City of Sydney Local Government Area for all waste collection services, including:

(i)          General Waste (red bin) collection; and

(ii)         Booked Household Clean-Up collection services for non-putrescible waste;

(C)       authority be delegated to the Chief Executive Officer to finalise negotiations and enter into any documentation necessary to vary the existing contract relating to domestic waste collection services to include the entire Local Government Area as defined as the Contract Service Area; and

(D)       Council endorse the contract budget as allocated in Confidential Attachment B to the subject report.

The motion was carried, on the following show of hands –

Ayes (8)          The Chair (the Lord Mayor), Councillors Chung, Kok, Miller, Phelps, Scully, Thalis and Vithoulkas
