Re: Extension of Drop -box Container Collection Contract; Contract No. 17-188.11
Dear Mr. Torre:
On December 12, 2017, the City Council for the City of Spokane Valley (the "City") approved a 10-
year Comprehensive Garbage, Recyclables, and Compostables Collection Contract with Sunshine
Disposal & Recycling ("Sunshine"). On January 11, 2018, the City and Sunshine entered into the
Drop -box Container Collection Contract (the "Original Contract").
Pursuant to Section 1 "Term of Contract" of the Original Contract, the initial term of the Contract is
for 10 years between April 1, 2018 and March 31, 2028. According to that same section, the City
may, at its sole option, extend the Original Contract for up to two additional two-year terms. The
terms and conditions of the Original Contract shall control any extension.
On August 26, 2025, the City Council for the City of Spokane Valley (the "City") approved a motion
to extend the Original Contract for two years until March 31, 2030.
Please accept this as the City's written notice to Sunshine that the City has chosen to exercise the
first of the two additional two-year options.
We appreciate Sunshine's continued partnership in providing solid waste drop -box collection services
to the citizens of Spokane Valley, and look forward to continuing that cooperation through the first
quarter of 2030. Should you have any questions, please contact Public Works Director, Robert Blegen
at 509-720-5320, or by email at rble en e,spokanevalleywa.gov.
Sincerely,
John Hohm
City Manager
