Communication, LLC d/b/a Ignite It Group, in the Amount of$65,000.00 to Provide
Professional Consulting Services to Develop Ongoing Public Education/Outreach
Campaigns on Recycling (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of a contract for professional service
by Clear Message Communication, LLC d/b/a Ignite It Group, in the amount of$65,000.00 from the
Solid Waste Fund to the Code Compliance Department for the ongoing public education campaign tc
residents about the City's recycling program.
DISCUSSION:
Lowering the contamination rate in recycled solid waste collection has a major impact on increasing
the revenue share received from the sale of recyclable materials from our processing contractor.
Continuing public education is critical to the success of the City's curbside recycling
program. Through past campaigns, education efforts have made a significant contribution in driving
down the contamination level in recycling materials collected curbside from over 30 percent to less
than 23 percent. It has been as low as 15 percent from previous campaigns. The Solid Waste
Services Division of the Code Compliance Department seeks to maintain this trend as well as
increase the amount of recyclable materials set out for collection by continuing effective focused
education efforts.
Solid Waste Services will enhance this effort by contracting with Clear Message Communication, LL(
d/b/a Ignite It Group (Ignite It Group), for professional services to continue to develop and implement
education/outreach campaigns to create public awareness about the City's residential and
commercial recycling programs, as well as the anti-littering education efforts.
The City will pay Ignite It Group an amount not to exceed $65,000.00 in accordance with the scope c
work and fee schedule incorporated in the contract.
Funding for this project will come from monies deposited with the City from Waste Management as
part of a mutual contractual obligation to fund recycling and other solid waste public education.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above
recommendations funds are available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of the Solid
Waste Fund.
