The Sixth Amendment to the Service Agreement with Orange Avenue Disposal Company

The City of Fresno has executed a Sixth Amendment to its existing Services Agreement with Orange Avenue Disposal Company, Inc. (OAD), extending the contract term by one year to February 25, 2035. This amendment does not alter the scope of services, which continue to include the collection, transfer, processing, and disposal of municipal solid waste, construction and demolition debris, and asphalt/concrete materials across the city’s established routes. The primary operational facility remains located at 3457 South Cedar Avenue, Fresno, California, where all waste is ultimately processed and disposed of. While no new service levels, performance metrics, or delivery schedules are introduced, the amendment formally grants OAD the right to request future material modifications or cost increases if necessitated by changes in law, legal mandates, or the implementation of legally required programs. This provision provides administrative flexibility to accommodate evolving regulatory obligations without requiring full renegotiation of the agreement. The amendment is supported by a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) categorical exemption under Section 15301, determining that the extension involves only minor alterations to an existing facility and will not result in significant environmental impacts. No formal solicitation number, contract type designation, or detailed pricing information is included, indicating this is an administrative modification rather than a competitive procurement. The City of Fresno’s Department of Public Utilities—Utilities Engineering & Planning manages the agreement, with Debbie Khounsavath serving as the primary point of contact. No federal acquisition regulation clauses, special contract requirements such as security clearances or key personnel designations, or federal accounting identifiers are present, confirming the agreement remains under local governance. The document does not specify invoicing procedures, payment offices, inspection protocols, or delivery terms, and no representations, certifications, or socioeconomic status information about OAD are included. The focus of the amendment is squarely on extending the term and enabling adaptive cost adjustments in response to legal changes, with no expansion of service areas or new contractual obligations beyond those already in place.
