Summary & Background: Carter 1 Enterprises, LLC was initially awarded a contract for shredding and disposal of materials services (Group 5) for Fulton County facilities in the amount of $25,000.00 on March 19, 2025, as Item #25-0204, with effective dates: April 4, 2025, through December 31, 2025, with two renewal options. The BOC approved renewing the existing contract on September 17, 2025, as Item #25-0695, effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026.
Due to unsatisfactory performance rating of 34 (see Exhibit 3- CPR), Carter 1 has failed to deliver the services according to the terms and conditions of the contract. On multiple occasions, the contractor could not accommodate customers due to not having the appropriate equipment (mobile shredding truck) available to perform the primary task and Contractor has been notified of no further obligation with the County for the remainder of 2026 (see Exhibit 4). Therefore, DREAM elected not to exercise the second renewal term of this Agreement in accordance with Article 9, Multi-Year Contract Term of the contract agreement.
This request is to recommend award to (A) Latham Home Sanitation Company, Inc., the next lowest bidder for Shredding Services (Group 5) (see Exhibit 5 -Bid Tabulation Sheet) to provide shredding services. Latham has previously provided shredding services in 2024 (22ITB132332C-GS) and performed outstanding with a rating of 94. Latham Home has adequate spending authority to cover the cost if needed for shredding and disposal services for the remainder of FY2026.
Scope of Work: This contract furnishes all materials, labor, equipment, transportation, and appurtenances necessary for providing comprehensive countywide solid waste disposal and single stream recycling services. The Scope of Work consists of solid waste collection, transportation, and disposal services for the County’s facilities, and to support the ongoing operational needs for the disposal of construction and demolition waste, clearing and grubbing debris, municipal solid waste, and other routine waste materials.
In addition to the solid waste disposal, the contractors shall provide landfill/transfer station or other disposal facilities, such as dumpsters, roll off containers, single stream recycling collection and shredding services on an “as needed” basis to meet the essential operations of the County. This may require the solid waste contractor to operate on a variable or limited frequency to satisfy the additional solid waste needs of any Fulton County facility. The recycling will be conducted utilizing recycling 95-gallon containers.
Community Impact: This effort is necessary to ensure the continued shredding and disposal of materials services for Fulton County facilities.
Department Recommendation: The Department of Real Estate and Asset Management recommends approval.
Project Implications: This amendment will allow the existing solid waste contractor to continue to provide shredding and disposal of materials services, collection and disposal of solid waste countywide as well as single-stream recycling services to the designated landfill sites for Fulton County.
Community Issues/Concerns: None that the Department is aware.
Department Issues/Concerns: If this contract amendment is not approved, the Department does not have the ability to collect shredding and disposal of materials services from countywide facilities and disposing it properly.
