RECOMMENDATION;

Rentals - Fort Worth Roll Offs; NTV Waste Removal LLC; Sunbelt Vacuum Service, Inc. dba Sunbelt Disposal & Recycling; Sundance Disposal

collecting municipal solid waste pursuant to Chapter 12.5, A�ticle VIII "Solid Waste and Recycling," Division 5"Private Collectors" of the Ciry
Code.
DISCUSSION:
Since 1998, the City of Fort Worth ("City") has authorized private waste hauling companies a non-exclusive privilege to use City streets to conduct
their business ("GOP Haulers"). Previous Mayor and Council Communications ("M&C") have authorized the City to execute Non-Exclusive Grant of
Privilege Agreements ("GOP Agreement") with these GOP Haulers.
GOP Haulers must first complete an application, reviewed and approved by the Environmental Services Director. The following eight (8)
companies submitted applications for a GOP Agreement with the City to collect and transport municipal solid waste generated by businesses,
industries and apartment complexes in Fort Worth.
The companies which have submitted applications are listed below:
• Advantage Waste Disposal, LLC
• Cleburne Metal Works LLC
• Independent Waste, LLC
• Makau Transport, LLC dba Wildcat Dumpster Rentals - Fort Worth Roll Offs
• NN Waste Removal LLC
• Sunbelt Vacuum Service, Inc. dba Sunbelt Disposal & Recycling
• Sundance Disposal Solutions, LLC dba Sundance Disposal
• Sweet Dumps LLC
In accordance with the City Code, each applicant, if approved, shall pay to the City a fee equal to 10 percent of gross revenues derived from its
commercial collection and transporting operations within the City.
The Director of Environmental Services ("Director") has determined that the applicants meet the requirements of the law and the City Code.
Accordingly, the Director recommends that the City Council authorize the execution of the GOP Agreements, which require adoption by a iwo-
thirds majority vote.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION;
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendation and execution of the agreement, funds will be deposited into the
Solid Waste Fund. The Environmental Services Department (and Financial Management Services) is responsible for the collection and deposit of
funds due to the City.
