Analysis
For several years the City of Grand Prairie has utilized the company currently doing business as Republic Services of Arlington as the franchised solid waste hauler. The franchise agreement between the two entities allows for a rate increase to be brought forward, if necessary, once per year. Republic Services of Arlington has delivered to the City a request for a $0.39 rate increase for residential services, a 3.8% increase for commercial services collected in 2, 4, or 8 cubic yard containers or in commercial bags and a 3.8% increase for roll-off or compactor customers. This request has been evaluated by staff and was deemed justifiable.
Financial Consideration
Funding for this item is reflected in the FY2019/2020 Proposed Solid Waste Operating Fund Budget.
