Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
132/2002 A contract for the provision of a
service for the collection and disposal of abandoned vehicles be
awarded to the tenderer identified in 6.1.1 of the report.
133/2002 The tenderer identified in 6.1.2 of the report be awarded
a contract for the provision of the remainder of the waste services
subject to the decision at 134/2002 below.
134/2002 The contract awarded to the tenderer, identified in
paragraph 6.1.2 of the report, embracing street cleansing services
excludes the parishes of Cuxton, High Halstow and Isle of
Grain.
135/2002 Cabinet noted that the services contained within these
contracts came into effect on 29 September 2002 and would be for a
period of 7 years with an option to extend the contract for up to
another 2 years.
136/2002 Officers require the tenderer, identified in paragraph
6.1.2 of the report, to ensure that their normal vehicle fleet in
Medway under 3.5 tonnes is capable of operating on 'alternative'
fuel and officers investigate further options for alternative fuel
usage in the future for heavier vehicles in the fleet.
These decisions are designed to provide
continuity of service from 29 September 2002 for these essential
front line services, thereby enabling the Council to meet its legal
obligations. They also provide the best option available for
significantly increasing the Council's recycling rate. The
financial implications set out in paragraph 9 of the report
demonstrate that there is adequate financial provision in the
current year, although this is after the Council had significantly
increased the budget to accommodate the forecast increase in costs.
In a full year there would be a requirement for additional
resources above that identified in the current financial strategy
and this would need to be incorporated into the budget setting
process for 2003/2004.
