Recommendation for Council action:

AUTHORIZE the Board of Public Works, on behalf of the Bureau of Sanitation, to execute the First Amendment to Contract No. C-113188 with USA Waste for the collection and processing of recyclable materials from multi-family residences within the Harbor and South Los Angeles service areas for a one-year term, on a month-to-month basis, from March 17, 2017 through March 18, 2018.

Additionally, approval of the recommendations will not result in changes to the Zoo Department's 2014-15 Adopted Budget. Failure to approve the Proposed Fourth Amendment will result in a projected admissions revenue deficit of $212,000 in 2014-15 that would require an offset from the cash balance in the ZETF.
