AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this 10 day of
September, 1987, by and between the City of Kennedale, a
municipal corporation (hereinafter called "City "); and
Laidlaw Waste Systems (Texas), Inc., a Texas corporation,
(hereinafter called "Grantee ").
WHEREAS, the City, after investigation, believes that
the public need, convenience and necessity can best be
served by the designation of one contractor to serve as the
authorized agent for the City in the collection and dis-
posal of residential, commercial and industrial garbage and
refuse within the City.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual
agreements hereinafter contained and subject to the terms
and conditions hereinafter contained and stated, it is here-
by understood and agreed by the parties hereto as follows:
1. Grant The City hereby grants to Grantee an
exclusive contract and franchise to engage in the busi-
ness of collecting and disposing of residential, com-
mercial, and industrial garbage, trash, brush, rub-
bish, debris and other refuse within the corporate
limits of the City; and, further, hereby grants to
Grantee a license and permit to use the public
streets, alleys, easements and thoroughfares within
the city limits for the purpose of collection and
disposal during the term of this Agreement.
2. Term The term of this Agreement shall be
for a period of five ( 5 ) years commencing October 1,
1987, and terminating September 30, 1992, subject to
the limitations, terms, conditions and contained in
this Agreement. Unless either party notifies the
other in writing on or before one hundred twenty (120)
days before any termination date of this Agreement of
such party's election not to renew and extend this
Agreement, then this Agreement shall be automatically
renewed for successive five (5) year periods, each
such renewal to be upon the same terms and conditions
and for the same considerations as are contained
herein and no new agreement need be entered into.
3. Scope of Work Grantee shall furnish such equip-
ment as is reasonably necessary for the regular sani-
tary collection of garbage within the city limits of
the City of Kennedale in accordance with the applica-
ble ordinances of the City of Kennedale, and shall pro-
vide for the sanitary disposal thereof, extending such
service to all persons, corporations and business enti-
ties within the City. Grantee shall not be required
to pick up more than four (4) containers and ten (10)
bags from any one customer. Brush and limbs shall be
picked up if they are tied in bundles not to exceed
four (4) feet in length and fifty pounds in weight.
Grantee shall not be required to pick up bed springs,
mattresses, divans, large chairs, ice boxes, stoves,
hot water heaters, dirt, rocks, acids, liquids,
building materials, ranch waste, dead animals or items
over fifty (50) pounds as household garbage. Upon spe-
cial request of any residential, commercial, or indus-
trial customer, Grantee shall collect and remove such
refuse items and shall receive for such services a fee
or charge mutually acceptable to Grantee and the
requesting customer. Grantee shall not, under any cir-
cumstances, be required to collect and dispose of any
oil, sludge, or fecal material, or any radioactive,
pathological, toxic, acidic, or volatile material, or
other hazardous or improper waste.
4. Residential Collections Residential custo-
mers of Grantee shall place their garbage at the curb
in approved containers for curb side pick up at least
two (2) times per week. In case of quadruplexes, each
living area shall be counted as one residential unit.
Any apartment complex, mobile home park or duplex com-
plex, may at its option and with the agreement of
Grantee, use commercial containers, such arrangements
shall be promptly forwarded to the City.
During the first year of this Agreement (being from
October 1, 1987, through September 30, 1988), the per
residence garbage collection fee shall be $4.95 per
month. Thereafter, the residential rate shall be
adjusted as hereinafter provided in paragraph 7
hereof. The City agrees that it shall require each
residential unit served by City water to pay the resi-
dential garbage fee.
-2-
5. Commercial Collections Grantee shall nego-
tiate with each commercial or industrial firm as to
the size and price of containers and any service
charges, which rate and charges shall be subject to
City approval. Commercial and industrial rates
approved at the inception of this Agreement are
attached hereto as Exhibit "A ". Commercial and Indus-
trial shall be all premises, locations or entities,
public or private, requiring refuse collection within
the corporation's limits of the City not a residence.
Grantee agrees to provide prompt notification to the
City of any commercial or industrial customer which
fails to pay for its service. Containers provided to
commercial and industrial customers may be used and
placed at a location on the premises as is mutually
agreeable to Grantee and such commercial or industrial
customer.
6. Billing The City shall be responsible for
the billing, collecting and reporting of all residen-
tial garbage fees and sales tax on such fees. Grantee
shall be paid by the City the rate provided herein for
such services on a monthly basis (being the monthly
residential service charge, less applicable sales tax,
times the number of residential customers receiving
such service during the preceding month). City shall
retain from the gross residential garbage service fee
(excluding any applicable sales tax) a five percent
(5%) franchise fee and a two percent (2%) billing
fee. Grantee shall provide City with an invoice of
the amount due Grantee by the 10th day of each month
covering services rendered during the preceding
month. City shall pay Grantee the amount due by the
25th day of the month following the month such ser-
vices were rendered.
Grantee shall bill, collect and report all services
and sales tax related to commercial and industrial
customers within the City. Grantee shall remit
monthly to the City a franchise fee equal to ten
percent (10 %) of all revenues, less applicable sales
tax, actually received by Grantee from commercial and
industrial collection within the City together with a
list of such commercial and industrial collections
within the City for such month.
7. Modification of Rates
the first year of this Agreement
annually thereafter, the rates for
vial and industrial garbage sery
Upon completion of
(October 1, 1988) and
residential, commer-
ice shall be adjusted
-3-
as hereinafter provided. Grantee will present the
modification of rates to the City Manager annually so
that the City may be informed as to the current rates
to residential, commercial and industrial customers.
A. Commercial Rate Adjustment The commercial
and industrial customer service charges shall be
subject to adjustments proportionate to any increase
(or decrease) in the "CPI -W" (as issued by the U.S.
Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor statistics or any
successor agency of the United States that shall issue
such indexes or data) for the twelve (12) consecutive
calendar months ending ninety (90) days before the
anniversary date of this Agreement (i.e. July 1
through June 30), such twelve (12) month period from
July 1 through June 30 being hereinafter referred to
as the "Fiscal Year." Such rate adjustment will be
effective on the anniversary date (October 1) of each
year of this Agreement. Increases in Grantee's dis-
posal fees shall be passed through to the commercial
and industrial customers when such increases from the
landfill are effective to the Grantee, but in no event
shall increase exceed fifteen percent (15 %). However,
if such increase is in excess of fifteen percent (15 %)
Grantee shall have the right to request said increase
after appropriate presentation to the City Council.
B. Residential Rate Adjustment The adjustment
to the monthly charge per month per residence for curb
service garbage collection ( "Residential Rate ") shall
be calculated based upon the increase (or decrease) in
Grantee's Hauling Cost and Disposal Cost (hereafter
defined) per residential customer. Disposal Cost
shall mean the rate charged or allocated per cubic
yard of refuse to Grantee for disposal of refuse in
its landfill facilities during the preceding Fiscal
Year. As of July 1, 1987, the Disposal Cost is $1.05
per home per month. As used herein, Hauling Cost per
residential customer ( "Hauling Cost ") shall mean the
difference between the Residential Rate and the Dis-
posal Cost for the preceding Fiscal Year. As of the
inception of this Agreement, the Hauling Cost is $3.90
per home per month. The Residential Rate shall be
increased (or decreased) by (i) the amount of any
increase (or decrease) in the Disposal Cost for the
preceding Fiscal Year (but in no event shall such
increase (or decrease) exceed fifteen percent (15 %)
and (ii) the proportionate increase (or decrease) in
the "CPI -W" (as issued by the U.S. Department of
Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics or any successor
agency of the United States that shall issue such
indexes or data) for the preceding Fiscal Year multi-
plied times the Hauling Cost for the preceding year
-4-
(but in no event shall such increase (or decrease)
exceed five percent (5%) of such Hauling Cost for the
preceding year) ; provided, however, should any
proportionate increase in the "CPI -W" for the
preceding Fiscal Year exceed eight percent (8 %), then
Grantee shall have the right to request the City's
City Council to approve any justifiable increase in
order to maintain a reasonable return for Grantee's
services.
8. Senior Citizens All senior citizen home-
owners (over age 65) residing in the City, as deter-
mined by the City's taxroll exemptions to senior
citizens, shall receive free residential garbage
service, provided no more than a reasonable amount of
garbage is located at each such senior citizen's
respective residence.
9. Additional Services Grantee shall provide
the following additional services to the City and its
residents:
A. Grantee shall make available one (1) "free
weekend" per year at its landfill on Minnis Drive in
Fort Worth for residents of the City. At such time,
City residents will be allowed free disposal of house-
hold items delivered to such landfill site. City resi-
dents must have and furnish Grantee proof of residence
in the City by means of a copy of their City water
bill and their Texas driver's license evidencing a
resident address within the City. All loads delivered
to the landfill must be covered with a tarp.
B. During two (2) Saturdays throughout each
year of this Agreement, Grantee will furnish two (2)
roll -off containers at a designated location within
the City for unlimited disposal of household items.
C. All City buildings, including the City Hall,
police station, fire station, city park, community
center and library, will receive garbage service free
of charge during the term of this Agreement.
10. Holidays Grantee shall not make collec-
tions of commercial, industrial or residential garbage
and refuse on the following holidays: Christmas Day,
New Years Day, Thanksgiving Day and the Fourth of
July; but, Grantee shall continue with its other
regularly scheduled collections during such holiday
weeks.

times during the Contract maintain in full force and
effect Employer's Liability, Worker's Compensation,
Public Liability and Property Damage Insurance. All

acceptable to the City and before commencement of work
hereunder the Contractor agrees to furnish the City

surety company approved by the City, or by deposit of
said sum in cash with a banking institution in Tarrant

constitute a guaranty fund to which the City shall
have a right to resort for reimbursement of any

shall default in its obligations hereunder and the
City should have to provide garbage services by other
means for the remaining term of this Agreement.

all complaints with regard to garbage disposal
required under this Agreement. Such office shall be
open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through
Friday, excluding legal holidays. All employees of
Grantee collecting garbage, or fees therefore, within
the City shall wear some type of identification
readily recognizable by their customers.
15. Revocation In the event of an alleged
breach by Grantee of any of the terms, covenants or
provisions herein contained, City shall notify Grantee
in writing of such alleged breach and if same is not
cured within five (5) business days from Grantee's
receipt of such notice, City may, upon a determination
(at a hearing as described herein) that a breach has
occurred and that, although capable of being cured,
Grantee has failed to cure such breach, cancel and
revoke this Agreement. The hearing prerequisite to
such revocation shall not be held until notice of such
hearing has been given to Grantee at the address shown
on the records of the City and period of at least ten
(10) days has elapsed since the receipt of such notice
by Grantee. The notice shall specify the time and
place of the hearing and shall include the alleged
reasons for revocation or cancellation of the
Agreement. The hearing shall be conducted in public
by the City's City Council and the Grantee shall be
allowed to be present and shall be given full
opportunity to answer such charges and allegations as
are set out against it in the notice. If, after the
hearing is concluded, the City's City Council shall
determine that a breach of the terms, covenants or
provisions of this Agreement, as set forth in the
notice, has occurred and, although capable of being
cured, has not been cured by the Grantee, then they
may revoke and cancel this Agreement and the same
shall be null and void.

Denny,
I have discussed your proposal of April 16th with the
Mayor on several occasions. We both feel as though your
proposal offers some excellent terms and is basically ready
for presentation to the Council. We would like to make the
presentation in August if that would meet your time -table
and to project an October 1, 1987 effective date.
Please consider the following:
1. Let's make the automatic rate increases effec-
tive on subsequent October firsts.
2. Do you have any justification to support a pre -
agreed 5% annual increase in lieu of an annual
rate increase tied to the CPI?
3. What would you charge to provide a compactor -
container at City Hall for one weekend per
month? For a roll -off container every weekend?
4. Could we consider ending service charges for
City Parks and buildings prior to the new
contract?
Please let me know if I can assist in any way.
