Resolution to Appropriate Funds to the Approved FY2011 Solid Waste Capital Budget ($102,000.00) and Approve Contract Amendment #10 with FCR LLC for MRF Single Stream Recycling Upgrades and Processing Changes ($102,000.00) (8 Votes Required)
Memorandum
The attached resolution authorizes and approves contract amendment #10 with FCR LLC, d/b/a RRS, Inc. (FCR), the operator of the City owned Material Recovery Facility (MRF) and Transfer Station (TS).
