Loomis council approves $127,500 increase to R3 Consulting contract amid consent calendar
Summary
Council corrected a numeric discrepancy and approved a consent calendar amendment increasing R3 Consulting’s one‑year renewal by $127,500 — bringing the total contract amount to $377,500 — after staff explained recurring and one‑time tasks covered by the work.
The Loomis Town Council approved a contract amendment on the consent calendar that increases the R3 Consulting agreement by $127,500 for a one‑year renewal, yielding a total contract amount of $377,500.
Council members pulled the consent calendar item to clarify inconsistent figures in the staff materials. A staff member confirmed the correct increase is $127,500 (some places in the packet had earlier drafts showing $125,500). Staff said parts of R3’s work are recurring — including solid‑waste program management and annual state compliance reporting — while other tasks (a solid‑waste use charge study and a waste hauler agreement effort) were one‑time costs linked to work with Recology and would not be ongoing.
After clarifying the numbers and the distinction between recurring and one‑time work, the council approved item 7 on a roll call vote.
Council asked whether it would be possible to lock pricing for more than one year; staff said the R3 work includes recurring compliance tasks and that some expenses should not recur once the waste‑hauler agreement is complete.
The vote record was read on the record and the item passed.
