Analysis
Since 1962, the company, currently doing business as Republic Services of Arlington has provided solid waste collection services for the City of Grand Prairie. The current franchise agreement between Republic Waste Services and the City allows a once-per-year request for a rate increase provided that it can be justified by the Director of Finance. The proposed franchise agreement modification will allow for a $0.22 increase to the cost of residential collection service, per household, per month, and an increase to industrial charges limited to an increase in the roll-off and packer delivery fee to $71.00, an increase to the roll-off and packer haul rate to $154.50, and an increase to the roll-off and packer disposal rate to $37.65, while leaving all other commercial charges unchanged.
Financial Consideration
Funding for the increase for residential solid waste customers is in the FY 2020/2021 Proposed Solid Waste Operating Fund Budget.
