•
WHEREAS, the City is transitioning to a new solid waste collection

WHEREAS, Section 11.2 of the Franchise Agreement requires WRI to
pay $50,000 for an administrative cost reimbursement and in the first year and an

WHEREAS, in light of the expedited schedule to have the waste service

resources available to commence the needed services right away; and

Agreement will cover the cost of HF&H CONSULTANTS, LLC's contract

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD
DOES HEREBY FIND, ORDER AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. In light of the expedited schedule to have the waste service
provider, it is necessary to retain the services of a waste consultant such as
HF&H to provide the necessary transition services as soon as possible. As such,
the Council finds that it is necessary to dispense with the formal bidding process
pursuant to Lynwood Municipal Code Subsection 6-3.13.a.3 to retain HF&H
insofar as it may be more economical and efficient than going, through an RFP
process that will potentially delay the transition services with the new waste
hauler, which may in turn create higher costs and expenditures for the City.
Section 2. That the City Council authorizes the Mayor to execute a two-
year consulting services agreement, with the option to for the City to extend the
Agreement for one additional year, with HF&H CONSULTANTS, LLC to provide
solid waste contract management services to the City of Lynwood.
Section 3. This Resolution shall become effective immediately upon its
adoption.
Section 4. The City Clerk shall certify as to the. adoption of this
Resolution.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 11th day of September, 2013.
