SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF CONSULTING SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH
EVERGREEN RECYCLING SOLUTIONS FOR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
AND PROFESSIONAL ADVICE ON SUSTAINABILITY AND RECYCLING
ISSUES
FROM: City Manager
BY: Director of Public Works/City Engineer
SUMMARY
In 2005, the City entered into an agreement with Evergreen Recycling Solutions, a local
consultant, to provide technical assistance and professional advice on solid waste and
recycling issues. This agreement was amended in March 2007, January 2008 and June
2008 to make certain modifications to the scope of services and to extend the term of the
agreement through the end of October 2008. The Consultant has provided valuable
services to staff with respect to the various recycling programs as well as administration
and coordination with Palm Springs Disposal on the solid waste agreement and
management issues. This agreement will further modify the scope of services for a period
of one year.
RECOMMENDATION:
1) APPROVE AGREEMENT No, WITH EVERGREEN
RECYCLING SOLUTIONS FOR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE ON
SUSTAINABILITY AND RECYCLING ISSUES, IN AN AMOUNT NOT
TO EXCEED $47,320 FOR ONE YEAR, ENDING OCTOBER 31,
2009.
2) Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The City has used a locally based consultant to manage the City's recycling and source
reduction programs since 2005. City Council has approved two amendments and the City
Manager one amendment to the original agreement, extending the term of that agreement
and expanding the Consultant's scope of services to include attendance at specific regional
meetings (i.e., Coachella Valley Association of Governments Energy and Environmental

Evergreen Consulting Services Agreement
Committee), providing administrative support for the Solid Waste Franchise and staffing
the Resource Conservation Commission. The Evergreen
City's current agreement with Ever
Y 9 g
Recycling Solutions expired on October 31, 2008,
Since the Consultant plays a key and expanding role in the City's recycling efforts and
programs as well as providing services related to the City's sustainability efforts, staff
believes that a new agreement providing continuation of services and modifying the scope
of services is in the City's best interest.
The hourly rate had remained at $60 per hour from 2005 through June 30, 2008. On July
1, 2008 the rate changed to $65 per hour. The Consultant is proposing to keep the rate at
$65 per hour for the term of this agreement. To insure that there are sufficient funds to
continue utilizing the Consultant through the upcoming year, staff is estimating a maximum
of 728 hours per year or an annual maximum of$47,320.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds to cover this agreement are available in the Recycling Contractual Services Fund
(Account Number 125-1280-43200).
