TITLE:
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH GALLS, LLC FOR UNIFORMS, ALTERATIONS
AND DUTY GEAR
DEPARTMENT: POLICE DEPARTMENT
PRESENTED BY: JASON CHAMNESS, CAPTAIN
CONTACT INFORMATION: JASON CHAMNESS, CAPTAIN, 714-754-5272 RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council:
1. Award a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) to Galls, LLC for uniforms, alterations, and duty gear for an initial two years, effective July 1, 2025-June 30, 2027, with three one-year renewal options for a total not to exceed amount of $175,000 annually.
2. Approve the Consumer Price Index (CPI) escalation and de-escalation.
3. Authorize the City Manager and the City Clerk to execute the PSA and any future amendments to the agreement.
BACKGROUND:
The Police Department provides uniforms for both professional staff and sworn employees and has a staff of approximately 240 employees. The City has been purchasing uniforms and equipment from Galls, LLC utilizing the City of Los Angeles Cooperative Agreements, Contract ID Nos. 59463 and 59457. The City of Los Angeles operates the term of the Galls, LLC contracts on a revolving three- month renewal period which has created invoicing and accounting issues for City staff.
The City will be better equipped to manage a multi-year purchasing contract with Galls, LLC, that aligns with the fiscal year. This contract will streamline the procurement of hundreds of uniform and gear purchases throughout the year. Establishing a direct contract with Galls, LLC will enhance oversight and efficiency. Since the City's annual expenditures on uniforms, alterations, and duty gear exceed $100,000, a formal bidding process is required.
62 File #: 25-291 Meeting Date: 5/20/2025
ANALYSIS:
On February 5, 2025, the City issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for uniforms, alterations, and duty gear as required by the City of Costa Mesa Municipal Code. The IFB was posted on the Planet Bids website. One bid was received from Galls, LLC and was reviewed for compliance with the City’sIFB.
After careful review of the bid, staff finds Galls, LLC to be well qualified and experienced to provide uniforms, alterations and duty gear. The costs provided by Galls, LLC were determined to be competitive and commensurate with the requested services and commodities.
Staff recommends that the City Council award the initial two-year PSA effective July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2027, with three one-year renewals to Galls, LLC for uniforms, alterations, and duty gear in the amount not to exceed $175,000 annually.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council could redirect staff to re-advertise the IFB. However, staff believes that the alternative would not result in locating a higher-rated company with more competitive pricing than received in the initial process. Additionally, staff is not aware of additional local vendors that could meet the CMPD’s requirements for uniforms, alterations, and duty gear.
FISCAL REVIEW:
The funding for this agreement will be included in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Proposed Operating Budget in the General Fund (Fund 101) and future Police Department Operating Budgets.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed this report and the Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Galls, LLC and approved them as to form.
CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES:
This item supports the following City Council Goal:
· Strengthen public safety and improve the quality of life CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends the City Council:
1. Award a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) to Galls, LLC for uniforms, alterations, and duty gear for an initial two years, effective July 1, 2025-June 30, 2027, with three one-year renewal options for a total not to exceed amount of $175,000 annually.
2. Approve the Consumer Price Index (CPI) escalation and de-escalation.
3. Authorize the City Manager and the City Clerk to execute the PSA and any future amendments to the agreement.

Specifications are included for the alternates offered. Galls will be happy to attend a product demonstration day where a complete set of uniform items will be displayed to the City reviewers.

By submitting a bid with an approved equal, Galls accepts these risks and the liability associated with these risks and waives all claims against the City for costs related to supplying replacements.

CITY OF COSTA MESA
Agenda Report
77 Fair Drive
Costa Mesa, CA 92626
File #: 25-290 Meeting Date: 5/20/2025
TITLE:
SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE WASTE DISPOSAL AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNTY OF ORANGE
DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/GENERAL SERVICES
DIVISION
PRESENTED BY: RAJA SETHURAMAN, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
CONTACT INFORMATION: PATRICK BAUER, DEPUTY PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR, 714- 754-5029
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council approve the Second Amendment to the Waste Disposal Agreement with the County of Orange.
BACKGROUND:
The City currently operates under a non-exclusive hauling franchise system which allows for a competitive market for services to multi-family residents and businesses receiving commercial solid waste service. This non-exclusive system consists of seven (7) waste haulers that provide weekly/recurring service. Residential service, including smaller multi-family residences, is provided under a separate Costa Mesa Sanitary District exclusive franchise.
Solid waste disposal at Orange County landfills is governed by a Waste Disposal Agreement (WDA) under which various cities, including Costa Mesa, and sanitary districts agree to exclusively deposit certain waste at the County of Orange’slandfills in exchange for low and stable disposal rates. The current WDA was entered in 2009 (Attachment 1) and subsequently amended to extend the term through June 30, 2025 (Attachment 2).
ANALYSIS:
The current WDA between all Orange County cities/sanitary districts and the County of Orange expires on June 30, 2025. In January 2022, OC Waste & Recycling (OCW&R) notified cities of its intent to revise the WDA to align with legislative requirements such as Senate Bill 1383, which requires local governments to divert organic waste, such as food scraps and landscaping waste, away from the landfills in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and preserve landfill capacity. OCW&R presented a proposed successor agreement to the WDA, titled the Waste Infrastructure System Enhancement (WISE) agreement, at an Orange County City Manager’ssummit on November 7, 2024.
The WISE agreement proposed increasing the landfill disposal rate from the current rate of $42.65 to
122
File #: 25-290 Meeting Date: 5/20/2025
The WISE agreement proposed increasing the landfill disposal rate from the current rate of $42.65 to $82 per ton (a 92.3% increase). It also proposed a rebate program for composted organic waste and an allocation of capital expenditures for organics recycling infrastructure at County landfills.
The Orange County City Manager Association (OCCMA) formed a committee in December 2024 to negotiate a successor agreement to the WDA and requested an extension of the current WDA to allow time for such negotiations. OCW&R has agreed to the OCCMA committee’s requested extension under the terms of the proposed amendment, which generally provides for a 12-month extension of the current WDA and a 2.6% disposal fee increase, per the escalation formula in the current WDA.
The extension period will allow stakeholders to conduct due diligence on a successor agreement to the WDA as well as evaluate costs, infrastructure plans, and future fee adjustments. If the OCCMA committee and OCW&R do not reach mutually agreeable terms by September 30, 2025, OCW&R will still continue to work on an agreement and provide monthly updates to all cities/sanitary districts beginning in October 2025.
Staff believes that executing the Second Amendment is in the public interest since it will ensure stable disposal rates and collaboration between all cities/sanitary districts in Orange County for an additional year. The contract rate in the agreement is set at $43.76 per ton, which is a 2.6% fee increase. All Orange County cities and special districts must approve this amendment in order for it to take effect by the targeted July 1, 2025, deadline.
Staff requests City Council approval of the Second Amendment to the WDA with the County of Orange.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council could choose not to approve the Second Amendment to the WDA. However, without the proposed Amendment, Costa Mesa customers could encounter unstable disposal rates as haulers may pay higher landfill rates and potentially utilize alternative out-of-county landfills to dispose of material.
FISCAL REVIEW:
There is no fiscal impact to the City Budget with the approval of the recommended action.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed this agenda report, the proposed Second Amendment, and approves them both as to form.
CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES:
This item works toward achieving the following City Council goal:
· Maintain and enhance the City’s infrastructure, facilities, equipment, and technology.
123
File #: 25-290 Meeting Date: 5/20/2025
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends the City Council approve the Second Amendment to the Waste Disposal Agreement with the County of Orange.

WASTE DISPOSAL AGREEMENT
THJS WASTE DISPOSAL AGREEMENT is made and dated as of the date indicated on the cover page hereof between the County of Orange , a political subdivision of the State of California (the "County "), and the City designated on the cover page of this Agreement , a general law or charter city and political subdivision of the tate of California (the "City").
RECITALS
The County owns, manages and operates a sanitary landfill system for the disposal of municipal solid waste generated by the cities and the unincorporated area within the County (the "Disposal System"). The Disposal System includes three active landfills and four regional household hazardous waste collection centers .
The Disposal System is used for the disposal of municipal solid waste which is not reused , recycled or otherwise diverted from landfill disposal , pursuant to the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (Division 30 of the California Public Resources Code) (the "Act").
The City, in the exercise of its police power and its powers under the Act, has entered into a franchi se or other agreement with or issued permits or licenses to one or more private haulers for the collection and disposal of municipal solid waste generated within the City.
A significant portion of municipal solid waste generated within the City historically has been and currently is delivered by such hauler or haulers to the County for disposal in the Disposal System .
In 1997, the City and the County entered in a waste disposal agreement (the "Original WDA' '), pursuant to which the County agreed to provide disposal capacity for waste generated in the City, and the City agreed to deliver or cause the delivery of waste generated in the City to the Disposal System, as more specifically set forth in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Original WDA.
The Original WDA, as amended , will expire by its terms on June 30, 2010, unless the City and the County agree to renew the Original WDA.
The City and the County desire to enter into this agreement to extend , amend and restate the Original WDA, on the terms and conditions set forth herein. The County and City acknowledge that the Original WDA shall remain in full force and effect until the Commencement Date.
The City has determined that the execution of this Agreement by the City will serve the public health, safety and welfare of the City by providing greater disposal rate stability, more predictable and reliable long-term disposal service, and the continuation of sound environmental management.
The County has determined that the execution by the County of this Agreement will serve the public health, safety and welfare by providing a more stable, predictable and reliab le supply of municipal solid waste and the resulting service payment revenue to the Disposal System, thereby enabling the County to plan, manage , operate and finance improvements to the Disposal System on a more prudent and sound long term, businesslike basis consistent with its obligations to the State and the holders of obligations secured by its Disposal System.
Official action approving this Agreement and determining it to be in the public interest and authorizing its execution and delivery was duly taken by the County on the County authorization date indicated on the cover page hereof.
Official action approving this Agreement and determining it to be in the public interest and authorizing its execution and delivery was duly taken by the City on the City authorization date indicated on the cover page hereof.

ARTICLE III
DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE OF WASTE
AND PROVISION OF DISPOSAL SERVICE
SECTIO 3.1 DELIVERY OF WASTE.
(A) Waste Disposal Covenant. Subject to the occurrence of the Commencement Date and throughout the Term of this Agreement, the City shall exercise all legal and contractual power and authority which it may possess from time to time to deliver or cause the delivery of all Controllable Waste to the Disposal System in accordance herewith .
(B) Recycled Citv Acceptable Waste. The parties hereto acknowledge the responsibility of the City to meet the recycling and landfill diversion goals contained in the Act. othing in this Agreement is intended or shall be interpreted to prohibit or impair the ability of the City to meet such responsibilities , or to restrict the right of the residents, businesses or organizations in the City to practice source separation , recycling , com posting or other materials recovery activities , or to restrict the right of the City to conduct, sponsor, encourage or require such activities in any form. No reduction in the amount of Controllable Waste generated in the City and delivered to the Disposal System by or on behalf of the City which may result from any such source separation or recycling program shall cause the City any liability hereunder (other than potential adjustment to the Contract Rate to the extent provided in Article IV hereof) and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. (C) Waste Delivered to Transfer Station. All Residue from any processing of Controllable Waste by materials recovery, composting, recycling or other means, wherever performed , shall constitute Controllable Waste and be subject to the Waste Disposal Covenant. Where City Acceptable Waste is processed at a facility which concurrently processes other Acceptable Waste in a manner which produces commingled residue which cannot be traced to a geographic source, generic residues from such facility in Tonnage equal to the residues that would have been produced had City Acceptable Waste only been processed at the facility shall constitute Controllable Waste and be subject to the Waste Disposal Covenant. Any City Acceptable Waste or material derived or segregated therefrom which is held in storage and asserted by the possessor thereof to constitute Recycled City Acceptable Waste awaiting sale or distribution to the secondary materials markets shall constitute Controllable Waste if, when and to the extent that the storage or diversion thereof can be reasonably deemed to constitute an evasion of the Waste Disposal Covenant rather than generally recognized, accepted and prevailing practice in the Southern California materials recovery and recycling industry conducted in accordance with Applicable Law. In order for the owner and/or operator of a transfer station to be entitled to deliver Acceptable Waste from a Participating City to the Disposal System for the Contract Rate as provided in Article IV, such owner and/or operator must execute a direct agreement with the County, acknowledging and agreeing to comply with the obligation of the Participating City to cause the delivery of all Controllable Waste to the Disposa l System pursuant to this Agreement. In addition, the County shall be authorized to implement procedures to determine if Acceptable Waste delivered by the owners or operators of Transfer Stations is entitled to utilize the Disposal System for the Contract Rate. Such procedures may include requiring Transfer Stations to certify, under penalty of perjury, the source of any such Acceptable Waste. If necessary , the County may require that, in order to qualify for use of the Disposal System for the Contract Rate, Transfer Stations must deliver Controllable Waste in loads containing only Controllable Waste, and not commingled with Acceptable Waste from entities which are not Participating Cities or Participating Independent Haulers .

136
(D) Power to Obligate Waste Disposal and Comply with this Agreement. On or before the ommencement Date , (i) any City franchise , contract , lease, or other agreement which is lawfully in effect relating to or affecting Controllable Waste shall provide, or shall have been amended to provide , that the City shall have the right without material restriction on and after the Commencement Date to direct the delivery of all Controllable Waste to a disposal location selected by the City (whether or not such Controllable Waste is delivered to a transfer station as an intermediate step prior to landfill disposal) and otherwise to comply with its obligations under this Agreement with respect to Controllable Waste and Franchise Haulers , and (ii) the City shall designate the Disposal ystem as the disposal location pursuant to such franchise, contract , lease or other agreement. On and after the Commencement Date and throughout the Term of this Agreement the City (a) shall not enter into any franchise contract, lease, agreement or obligation , issue any permit, license or approval , or adopt any ordinance , resolution or law which is materially inconsistent with the requirements of the Waste Disposal Covenant, and (b) shall maintain non-exclusive or exclusive franchises or other contractual arrangements over any City Acceptable Waste which, as of the Contract Date, is subject to non-exclusive or exclusive franchise or other contractual arrangements . The City agrees that the County shall be a third party beneficiary of the obligation of Franchise Haulers to deliver ontrollable Waste to the Disposal System, and may directly enforce such obligation through any legal means available . The City shall notify in writing each Franchise Hauler of the County's third party beneficiary rights. (E) Waste Flow Enforcement. (1) The City, in cooperation with the Department , shall establish, implement, carry out and enforce a waste flow enforcement program which is sufficient to assure the delivery of all Controllable Waste to the Disposal System pursuant to and in accordance with the Waste Disposal Covenant for disposal at the times and in the manner provided herein. The waste flow enforcement program shall consist of amending City franchises , permits or authorizations with all Franchise Haulers , to the extent required by this Section and to the extent allowed by law, and shall include in addition, to the extent necessary and appropriate in the circumstances to assure compliance with the Waste Disposal Covenant , but shall not be limited to:
(i) licensing or permitting Franchise Haulers, upon the condition of compliance with the Waste Disposal Covenant , (ii) providing for and taking appropriate enforcement action under any such franchise , license , or permit, such as but not limited to the suspension , revocation and termination of collection rights and privileges , the imposition of fines or collection of damages , and the exercise of injunctive relief against non-complying Franchise Haulers and (iii) causing any Transfer Station to which Controllable Waste is delivered for processing to deliver certification , under the penalty of perjury , of the amounts of Controllable Waste received and Residue remaining from processing at such Transfer Station .
(2) The City acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach of the Waste Disposal Covenant by the City, the City shall pay the County an amount equal to the amount that the City would have been required to pay to the County had the Waste Disposal Covenant not been breached, which shall be calculated by (x) subtracting the number of tons actually delivered during the month(s) of the breach from the number of tons that were delivered during the same month(s) closest in time when there was no such breach, even if such month(s) closest in time was prior to the Term, and (y) multiplying such amount by the Contract Rate in effect at the time of such breach (or any higher rate with respect to which the County has provided notice pursuant to Section 4.2) . In the event that the County terminates the Waste Disposal Agreement as a result of such breach, the damages due as a result of such termination shall be equal to (aa) the average monthly deliveries by the City for the twelve months prior to the commencement of the breach multiplied by (bb) the Contract Rate in effect at the time of such breach (or any higher rate with respect to which the County has provided notice pursuant to Section 4.2), multiplied by (cc) the number of months that would have remained in the Term of the Agreement had the termination not occurred . The parties recognize that if the City fails to meet its obligations hereunder , the County will suffer damages and that it is and will be impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain and determine the exact amount of such damages.
Therefore , the parties agree that the damages specified above represent a reasonable estimate of the amount of such damages, considering all of the circumstances existing on the date hereto, including the relationship of the sums to the range of harm to the County that reasonably could be anticipated and anticipation that proof of actual damages would be costly or inconvenient. In signing this Agreement, each party specifically confirms the accuracy of the statements made above and the fact that each party had ample opportunity to consult with legal counsel and obtain an explanation of this liquidated damage provision at the time that this Agreement was made. (F) Legal Challenges to Franchise System . The City shall use its best efforts to preserve, protect and defend its right to exercise and comply with the Waste Disposal Covenant against any challenge thereto, legal or otherwise (including any lawsuits against the City or the County , whether as plaintiff or defendant) , by a 10 Execution Copy
137
Franchise Hauler or any other person, based upon breach of contract, violation of law or any other legal theory . The City shall bear the cost and expense of any such Legal Proceeding or other challenge. In the event any such Legal Proceeding relating to the Waste Disposal Covenant or the City's exercise thereof establishes in a final determination that such covenant or exercise thereof is void, unlawful or unenforceable, or if any Franchise Hauler fails to deliver Controllable Waste to the Disposal System in breach of its franchise with the City on the grounds that a judicial determination made by any court or other Applicable Law has rendered its obligation to deliver ontrollable Waste to the Disposal System void, unlawful or unenforceable on any legal grounds , with the result that actual waste deliveries to the Disposal System fall below the Cumulative Tonnage Targets, the County shall be entitled to avail itself of the remedies described in Section 4.2(B) hereof . (G) Franchise Haulers. The City shall compile and provide the Department with the following information concerning all Franchise Haulers: name, address and phone number ; identification number; area of collection and transportation ; and franchise and permit terms.

The City agrees to include in any revised franchise , contract , license or permit or other authorization granted to Franchise Haulers an obligation of the Franchise Hauler to provide to the County information relating to the Controllable Waste collected by such Franchise Hauler , including origins from which such Controllable Waste was collected , tonnage by type of load (residential , commercial , roll-off box), customer service levels, tonnage delivered by transfer station or material recovery facility utilized, and other related information .
(I) Citv Actions Affecting County. The City agrees to carry out and fulfill its responsibilities under this Agreement and Applicable Law so as to permit full and timely compliance by the County with its covenants and agreements with the State. In particular , the City agrees not to conduct , authorize or permit any disposal services for Controllable Waste to be provided in competition with the Disposal Services provided by the County hereunder , and not to take or omit to take any action with respect to Controllable Waste or its collection , transportation , transfer , storage , treatment or disposal that may materially and adversely affect the County 's ability to achieve such timely compliance. Notwithstanding the foregoing , the City shall not be required to deny any permit or license or refuse to grant any approval while exercising its police powers . (J) o Right of Waste Substitution . Nothing in this Agreement shall authori ze or entitle the ity to deliver or cause the delivery to the Disposal System of Acceptable Waste originating from or generated outside the jurisdiction of the City, nor obligate the County to receive or dispose of any such Acceptable Waste .
The City shall not assign in whole or in part its right to deliver or cause to be delivered Controllable Waste to the County hereunder , and shall not permit any Acceptable Waste originating from or generated outside the jurisdiction of the City to be substituted for Controllable Waste for any purpose hereunder.

The Department shall confirm such advice in writing within 24 hours of the occurrence of any such inability. The County shall use its best efforts to resume normal operation of the landfill primarily used by the City as soon as possible . In the event of a temporary material increase in average daily deliveries of Controllable Waste from the City which the County reasonably believes could result in the permitted daily disposal capacity limit to be exceeded with respect to a particular landfill within the Disposal System, the County shall have the right to redirect the increased Controllable Waste to another landfill within the Disposal System for the duration of the increase in average daily deliveries ; provided, however , that in such circumstances the County shall utilize reasonable efforts to first redirect waste which is not Controllable Waste.

142
least equal to the Cumulative Tonnage Targets identified in Appendix 2, and subject to adjustment necessary to reflect the circumstances set forth in this Section 4.2:
(i) increased costs incurred by the County (in excess of available insurance proceeds) due to the occurrence of one or more Uncontrollable Circumstances , other than Changes in Law ; (ii) costs incurred by the County (in excess of available insurance proceeds and amounts available in the Environmental Fund for such purposes) remediating env ironmental conditions at the Disposal System or inactive or closed disposal sites in the County , which, if uncorrected , could give rise to potential claims under CERCLA or related federal or state statutes , including costs incurred providing indemnification to any Participating City pursuant to subsection 7.3; or
(iii) tonnage shortfalls to the extent permitted by Sections 4.2(B) ; (iv) average annual inflation prior to July 1, 2010 in excess of the levels set forth in ection 4.2(H) and escalation pursuant to Section 4.2(F) ; (v) increased costs incurred by the County (in excess of available insurance proceeds) due to the occurrence of one or more Changes in Law ; or (vi) Capital Costs in excess of the Capital Costs at any point in time during the term hereof exceeding the Cumulative Capital Costs set forth in Appendix 3.
Prior to adjusting the Contract Rate as a result of any of the circumstances described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above , the County shall utilize the following remedies in the following order of priority:
(x) reduce the costs of operating the Disposal System to the extent practicable ; and (y) utilize Unrestricted Reserves to pay costs of the Disposal System .
The County will not be required to utilize such remedies prior to adjusting the Contract Rate as a result of any of the circumstances described in clauses (iv) , (v) or (vi) above.
Any adjustments to the Contract Rate permitted by this Section shall be calculated by the County to reflect the actual costs or expenses of addressing the circumstance or circumstances pursuant to which the adjustment is authorized .
The County agrees that it will evaluate the feasibility of long term financing for significant capital costs where appropriate.
(B) County Acceptable Waste Shortfall. In the event that the actual amount of County Acceptable Waste delivered to the Disposal System at the end of any Contract Year is less than the Cumulative Tonnage Target for such Contract Year for County Acceptable Waste, as specified in Appendix 2, the County shall utilize the following options , in the following order of priority, in order to remedy any adverse effects of such tonnage shortfall:
(i) reduce the costs of operating the Disposal System to the extent practicable ; (ii) utilize Restricted Reserves described in clause (iii) of Section 4.5 to pay costs of the Disposal System ;
(iii) utilize Unrestricted Reserves to pay costs of the Disposal System ; and (iv) adjust the Contract Rate .
In the event that implementation of the steps described above does not result in sufficient revenues to satisfactorily address the shortfall in tonnage , the County shall have the right to terminate the Agreement on 60 days written 16 Execution Copy
143
notice to the City . In addition , in the event that actual deliveries to the Disposal System exceed the Cumulative Tonnage Target as of the end of any Contract Year , the City acknowledges the County shall have the right to establish reserves intended to reflect the potential for lower than expected annual waste del iveries in subsequent years, and that any such reserves shall constitute "Restricted Reserves". (C) [RESERVED]
(D) Interim Use of Remedies. In the event that, during any Contract Year , waste deliveries to the Disposal System are 25% or more below delivery projections for such Contract Year with the result that the County determines it is unlikely that the Cumulative Tonnage Target will be achieved as of the end of such Contract Year, the County may utilize the remedies described in Section 4.2(B) prior to the end of such Contract Year; provided, however , that if at the end of such Contract Year , the Cumulative Tonnage Target is actually met, the County shall reimburse any adjustments to the Contract Rate made pursuant to this Section to Participating Cities .
Such reimbursement may be given as a credit or adjustment to the Contract Rate for future deliveries, rather than a lump sum payment.
(E) Special Charges . Notwithstanding Section 4.2(A) , the County shall have the right to impose special charges for the receipt of hard to handle materials, such as bulky materials , construction and demolition debris , tree stumps and sludge. Such special charges shall be calculated to reflect the reasonable incremental costs to the County of accepting such hard to handle materials. In addition , in the event that the Board of Supervisors of the County makes a determination to implement a facility (including but not limited to a transfer station, landfill, conversion technology facility , or a materials recovery or processing facility) , which facility would be intended to provide for disposal alternatives after the closure of one or more of the landfi lls currently operating within the Disposal System, the County may impose an additional charge of $0.50 per ton of Acceptable Waste in order to pay the costs of the study, development, planning, construction and/or operat ion of such facility .
Adjustments pursuant to this Section 4.2(E) shall not require compliance with the provisions of Section
4.2(1).
(F) Escalation . The Contract Rate shall be adjusted each July I, beginning July 1, 2011. The change will be equal to the positive percentage change in the Consumer Price Index - All Urban Consumers , U . . city average , All items, ot Seasonally Adjusted , Series ID CUUROOOOSAO ("CPI") as measured from the October 21 months prior to the rate adjustment to the October immediately preceding the rate adjustment. For example : The July I, 2011 rate adjustment shall be based upon the index change from October 2009 , to October 2010 , referred to as year 1 and year 2 respectively in the following example .
Formula to calculate percentage change in the Contract Rate:
Step 1:
[
October Year 2 CPI ] - I = % increase in Contract Rate October Year 1 CPI Step 2: Current Contract Rate x (1 +%increase in Contract Rate) = Contract Rate as of July 1 Year 2 On each April 1, commencing April 1, 2011, the County shall provide the City with notice of the adjustment to the Contract Rate to be effective the following July 1. Such notice shall contain the calculation of the adjustment set forth above. The County will calculate the new Contract Rate each year.
In the event that the change in the CPI is negative , no rate adjustment will be made for that year . o adjustment under this Section 4.2(F) will take place until the October CPI index surpasses the index level as of the October immediately preceding the last annual rate adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.1 (F), which will be considered
"year I" in calculating the change in the Contract Rate . 17 Execution Copy
144
For example, if the CPI is measured as follows: October 2009 = 205, October 2010 = 204, October 2011 = 201, October 2012 = 208, then there would be no adjustment in July 2011, or July 2012 , and an adjustment equal to the change from 205 to 208 would be implemented on July I, 2013 .
Adjustments pursuant to this Section 4 .2(F) shall not require compliance with the prov isions of Section
4.2(I).
(G) Adjustment Resulting from Increased Fees. In addition to the other adjustments specified herein, the Contract Rate shall be adjusted to reflect the imposition of new fees or increase in existing fees relating to the disposal of Controllable Waste imposed by state, federal or other agencies (i.e., the State's Integrated Waste Management fee, which is currently $1.40 per ton). The adjustment shall be equal to the amount of any new or increased fee, and the adjustment shall take effect so as to coincide with the imposition of the new or increased fee.
The County shall provide notice of any increase pursuant to this Section 4.2(G) as soon as practicable after becoming aware of the imposition of any fees described above.
Adjustments pursuant to this Section 4.2(G) shall not require compliance with the provisions of Section
4.2(1).
(H) Calculation of Cumulative Inflation Rate. For purposes of Section 4.2(A)(iv) for adjustments prior to July 1, 20 I1 , the inflation shall be calculated as the change in the CPT between July of the year of calculation and July I, 2008. Inflation shall be deemed to exceed the levels set forth below if the ratio between the CPI for July for the year of calculation (calculated in accordance with the formula below) and July 2008 exceeds the ratio corresponding to such year of calculation on the table below . The ratio shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(July CPI of calculation year I CPI for July 2008)
Year of Calculation Ratio
July I, 2008 I .OOOO
July 1, 2009 1.0356
July I, 2010 1.0723
In the event the CPI is no longer published during the term of this Agreement , such other index identified by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or otherwise generally accepted as a replacement for CPI shall be used for purposes of this Agreement. In the event of an adjustment to the Contract Rate pursuant to this section 4.2(H) , such adjustment shall be applied to the Contract Rate effective until June 30, 2010, and the Contract Rate effective July I , 20 I 0.
Adjustments pursuant to this Section 4.2(H) shall not require compliance with the provisions of Section
4.2(1).
(I) Procedure for Rate Adjustments.
