PROPOSAL PROPOSED BY: Councilman CITY ,MANAGER'S REVIEW
Louis J. Zapata ``
\1S C S.1.L°
The City Council has been reviewing for several months alternatives for the continued
collection and disposal of solid waste for citizens of Fort Worth. An option which we
have not yet investigated would be for a private contractor to be retained for the
collection of residential refuse and its disposal in lieu of continued municipal opera-
tion of that system. During recent public hearings concerning the exclusion of private
haulers from the City-operated landfills, several private operators commented that they
would .be interested in making a proposal on such a project.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council direct the City Manager to pur preparation
of a contract and receive bids for the contract collection and dis al o solid waste
from a geographical section of the City of Fort Worth on a tria s. C,I is hoped
in this way that costs can be computed comparing municipal a c`S traAp rations.

City Manager's Comments
Should Council approve this Council Proposal, spec' ica ons will be developed for
a pilot program for a specified period of time durin which detailed cost records will
be kept in order to make valid comparisons with City costs for providing the same ser-
vice. The contract will require as a minimum the same level and quality of service
as is presently provided by the City. No existing employees would be terminated as a
result of this program.
