Attachment D.3 - Maximum Rates to be Charged Assuming NO Cross-Jurisdictional Efficiencies between Lake Forest and Laguna Hills - LAGUNA HILLS ONLY RATES Fill in the rates proposed as the maximum rates to LAGUNA HILLS customers below for each level of service assuming NO cross-jurisdictional routing efficiencies between the two cities (Laguna Hills and Lake Forest) and assuming that all Commercial and Multi-family Divertible Materials (i.e. Single-stream Recyclables, Food Scraps and Yard Trimmings) will be provided at a collection rate that is half the cost of equivalent MSW service. MSW rates may include any costs that are not recovered by offering Divertible Materials collection programs at the 50% reduced rate as requested by the City. Rates must be broken down to show the collection cost, disposal cost and capital costs (the capital component will not be escalated). The procedure for adjusting costs throughout the term of the contract appears in Article 14 of the Agreement. A sample calculation is shown in Attachment J. The disposal portion will only be adjusted as that cost actually changes. Disposal costs are a pass through cost and cannot include any mark up, overhead or administrative costs. As the amount of material being collected and handled is increasingly shifting into diversion, providing diversion services at no charge is no longer feasible and therefore is not permitted in this form. Best practices have identified that a Divertible materials collection rate that is 50% of the MSW rate obtains optimal generator participation. As noted in Section 6. MSW Rate Sheet commercial MSW rates may include any costs that are not recovered by offering Divertible Materials collection programs at 50% the rate for MSW. The rate proposed for collection of commercial, multi-family, temporary bin, temporary roll off, permanent roll off and compactor customers for divertible materials must be 50% lower than the rate proposed for collection of MSW materials. # Sector/Stream Description Size

69 CR&R is proposing to use new automated carts for the collection of solid waste, recyclables, and organics. Further, the carts provided by CR&R shall meet all the design and performance requirements. CR&R proposes the use of Toter (or similar), two-wheel carts for curbside residential services. CR&R will fully comply with the City’s requirement that all carts contain at least 10% Post-Consumer Recycled Content and at least 50% Post Industrial Recycled Content.

Toter carts are manufactured using medium density polyethylene with the company’s Advanced Rotational Molding™ process. This provides a superior strength-to-weight ratio not found in standard injection-molded carts and boasts the industry’s lowest warranty claim rate.

Toter is now offering a 100% recycled cart that has not been deployed in California at this time.

The only cart body color available is black. If the City is interested in this 100% recycled residential cart, CR&R would be happy to order and deliver these containers with the appropriate lid color in accordance with SB 1383 Regulations at no additional charge.

CR&R will include serial numbers as the main compliance mechanism for Attachment E-1. Serial numbers are tied to the CR&R CRM system (SoftPak), which allows the recording of cart service events. Additionally, our cart inventory department utilizes the serial numbers for cart inventory tracking.

71 COMMERCIAL AND MULTIFAMILY BINS
CR&R proposes all new bins for the Cities of Lake Forest and Laguna Hills. These bins will feature graffiti-resistant paint and will fully comply with the CalRecycle color requirements of SB 1383.

CR&R’s proposed rates include the provision of reflective fluorescent taping on all commercial and multi-family bins in service within the City, as required by SB 1111.

Split Bins will also be made available for commercial and multifamily customers where space constraints would otherwise preclude their participation in a recycling program.

ROLL-OFF BOXES
CR&R proposes to offer 10 cubic-yard and 40 cubic-yard roll-off boxes for the Cities. All roll-off boxes will be new and unused as specified in the RFP.

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
CR&R is aware of disruptions over the past few years on bin, cart, and roll-off inventory. In anticipation of the franchise award, CR&R currently has in place with our container vendor a “justin-time” inventory agreement with thousands of containers on hand, which are being stored directly with our vendor. Additionally, over 50,000 square feet of warehouse space is also available in Stanton for storage of anticipated early container production and delivery. CR&R will also work with the City to begin container delivery ahead of the franchise agreement start date.

54 CR&R ‘s commitment to innovation in service delivery includes the use of lighter weight collection vehicles. At CR&R, we not only designed a lightweight collection vehicle, but we also specified the desired requirements with our suppliers and put them into production. CR&R’s innovation did not stop here, as our newest proprietary design will produce an even lighter version that weighs 5,000 pounds less than our current stock vehicles. The schematic of this vehicle is shown in the image below.

Currently, CR&R has three (3) lightweight vehicles in use in Orange County, with two (2) in the City of Tustin and one (1) in the City of Lake Forest. An additional lightweight vehicle will be added in the City of Laguna Beach on July 1, 2024.

By July 1, 2025, CR&R will deploy five (5) lightweight trucks, with four (4) serving the Commercial Recycling Routes in Lake Forest and one (1) serving the Commercial Recycling Routes in Laguna Hills. Reducing truck weights benefits the City and its rate payers through reduced road repair and maintenance expense. Additionally, we modeled the expected cost savings in terms of capital purchase expense, annual state licensing, and fuel efficiency savings.

Those savings are forecast over the initial eight-year contract period as follows:
x Purchase Price: $14,000
x License Fee: $880
x Fuel: $24,000

63 INNOVATION IN FLEET TECHNOLOGY AND SERVICE DELIVERY
All vehicles to be operated by CR&R within the Cities of Lake Forest and Laguna Hills per the draft franchise agreement shall be equipped with a system that provides surveillance, monitoring, auditing, recording, and tracking including video and still photo equipment. Further, collection vehicles will be equipped with GPS systems, backup cameras, on-board modules for operational customer relationship management (CRM) functionality, truck telematics systems that provide real-time truck data, location, video and monitoring, and communications systems for contact with Dispatch, Route Managers, Customer Service Representatives, and other persons as needed.

The on-board operational CRM module is available to the driver via in-cab functionality and accessible via a tablet in the cab of the vehicle. The operational CRM system also captures driver, route, and service confirmation in real-time, and the on-board operation CRM system allows drivers to view and scroll through route listings, confirm service completions, note service exceptions (i.e., contamination, non-containerization, blocked cart access, non-set out, etc.), as well as receiving additional dispatched work in real-time.

Additionally, the on-board operational
CRM system is accessible to the driver
via electronic communication that can
be transmitted to customer service
and/or dispatch, who also use the
operational CRM platform. The tablets
hosting the on-board operational CRM
system is dismountable by the driver for
mobility purposes which will allow the
driver to use the tablet as a digital
camera to photo-document service
exceptions, link the exception to the
Customers’ account, and report serious operational issues to CR&R in real-time. The operational CRM system allows CR&R to note overloaded carts, blocked access, non-containerization, and contamination events and document them on the Customer’s account.

PROPOSAL FORM 11: PLANS TO INCORPORATE ON-BOARD TECHNOLOGY TO

BE PROVIDED BY CONTRACTOR ON COLLECTION VEHICLES TO INCREASE

SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY AND FOR CONTAMINATION MONITORING
Attachment F-4: Plans to Incorporate On-Board Technology to be Provided by Contractor on Collection Vehicles to Increase Safety and Efficiency and for Contamination Monitoring Text

64 Lastly, the on-board vehicle telemetrics system is connected to a network using wireless data and is also connected to each collection vehicle’s on-board computer. The on-board vehicle telemetrics system includes the GPS, video surveillance, driver behavior, hours of service, and maintenance integration to provide increased safety, service, and efficiency to vehicle operations.

This on-board vehicle telemetrics system allows CR&R to monitor driver behavior, such as speeding, hard braking, hard acceleration, and area violations. The Route Supervisor and other responsible parties receive notifications if events occur so they may be addressed with the driver.

The video capture component of the on-board system can be viewed in real-time or stored to review past safety or service events. Video capture includes in-cab, front, rear, and side-views.

Please refer to the following paragraphs for further information on CR&R’s on-board technology designed to increase safety and efficiency, assist with contamination monitoring, and achieve legislative compliance.

ON-BOARD TECHNOLOGY
CR&R has been the technological vanguard for years and has embraced proven systems to provide the highest standard for digital in-cab operations. This investment has benefited our customers by providing real-time service information and boosted our drivers’ experience by providing an uncomplicated process which enhances their defensive driving abilities and eases the dynamic working environment. CR&R has integrated two systems into our digital in-cab operations: Mobile-Pak™ and FleetMind™.

MobilePak™ is the onboard module for our operational CRM software I-Pak™. This system appears as a tablet in the cab of the truck that captures driver, route, tonnage, and service

65 confirmation in real-time which is available to our Customer Service and Dispatch groups.

Through seamless integration with our CRM software, CR&R drivers can easily view and scroll through their route list, confirm service completion, note an exception (e.g., contamination, blocked container, container not available), and receive additional dispatched work in real-time.

Route information is easily entered via a drop-down selection that instantly transmits back to customer service and/or dispatch who utilize the same CRM operational software. All computable route statistics are captured in real-time with back-office functions like route productivity, work orders, billing, and route follow up completed instantly.

The FleetMind™ portion of the system is a truck telematics solution that provides real-time truck data, location, and video monitoring. This system can also provide RFID scanning, which would be used for monitoring any RFID-equipped automated carts. FleetMind offers CR&R an integrated solution to provide safe, efficient service to the Cities of Lake Forest and Laguna Hills, and establishes a foundation for additional innovative products.

Through our technological integration of platforms, numerous processes are functional whenever the truck is on, such as communicating with a web base tool through wireless data, including a DVIR, and direct connection to the vehicle computer. These functions include GPS, RFID data, video surveillance, driver behavior, hours of service (HOS), and maintenance integration, and work in conjunction to provide increased safety, service, and efficiency to vehicle operations. In addition to the standard GPS tracking, the system also provides the CR&R managers event alerts to driver behavior so they can be addressed with each driver. The HOS option will keep drivers within hours of compliance. The video capture with the on-board DVIR can be viewed in real-time or stored for past safety or service events.

CR&R can also capture images of contamination upon occurrence. When observed, the driver can capture the contamination image in real-time. The image is logged, sent to through the backoffice system, and documented on the customer’s account. This system allows for real-time feedback of contamination documentation and eliminates any dispute regarding the correction action tag notice. Contamination notices are directly logged and noted as the driver completes the route to document the occurrence and identify areas for customers that may need further program assistance with direct outreach.

66 The use of Mobile-Pak™ and FleetMind™ throughout CR&R vehicles ensures that all compliance requirements are met with increased safety, service, and efficiency. Moreover, the benefits of our digital in-cab technology to the rate payer include higher customer engagement through service confirmation in real-time, measurable service metrics, and enhanced defensive driving practices.

ON-BOARD SCALES
CR&R proposes the use of BinMaxx Air Weigh
On-Board Scales for weighing containers at the
point of collection. BinMaxx offers in-motion
sensors that are mounted on to the lift arms.

Containers are weighed automatically, and the
weight is displayed on the in-cab mounted
display unit. Additional information regarding
this technology is provided as an attachment at the end of this Form.

CUSTOMER SERVICE SOFTWARE
CR&R is equipped with Soft-Pak, a premier, industry specific CRM software program which allows ease of operation by CSR’s, operations, and management personnel. This real-time Windows based system is used company-wide and provides current information allowing CSR’s and operations personnel to respond quickly to requests for service. It also allows for the prompt resolution of customer concerns in a timely manner. These programs are fully integrated throughout CR&R at all operating sites. In addition, we have custom software that applies City specific business rules to changes and orders being entered to ensure accuracy.

COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM
CR&R is proud to utilize Mobileeye™, an AI-powered fleet safety solution in our collection vehicles. Mobileeye™
prevents or mitigates collisions by providing drivers with audio and visual warnings of potential hazards on the road.

Evidence shows real-time alerts help instill safer driving habits, and further, having access to analytics assists fleet and route managers with safety improvements. Mobileeye™ offers Forward Collision Warnings, Lane Departure Warnings, Pedestrian and Cyclist Collision Warning, Headway

67 Monitoring and Warnings, and Speed Limit Indications. Powered by Intel’s latest processor and an improved camera, Mobileeye™ offers state-of-the-art collision avoidance technology with night detection, AI recognition and detection of potential hazards at greater distances and a wider field of vision.

MOBILE APPLICATIONS –AUDIT PRO
CR&R’s propriety mobile application Audit Pro adds another layer of enhanced public education, customer communication, legislative compliance assurance and contamination monitoring. Audit Pro is a proprietary application currently in development by CR&R to allow drivers, auditors, and other company staff to document, photograph and communicate instances of contamination, overloaded containers, and container audit results during SB 1383 route reviews. It is estimated to be fully operational by the end of Q2, 2024. This custom designed cloud-based software suite allows CR&R to continuously upload customer information and provide our Drivers, Sustainability Specialists and Field Auditors a user-friendly tool to document instances of non-conformance with state laws and franchise agreement requirements.

Whether utilizing the mobile application to
document route reviews for SB 1383,
document instances of contamination, or
overloaded bins, Audit Pro is one step of
many that CR&R is taking to increase our
ability to effectively communicate and
educate customers with the ultimate objective
of aligning disposal behaviors with City goals.

An example situation where “nonconformance with state law or franchise agreement requirements” is a customer not
disposing of an item in the correct bin or
placing hazardous waste within a container.

Audit Pro is being developed to communicate with SoftPak. It can also be used via mobile phone and connected to a cloud-based database. CR&R employees, City Staff and CR&R customers will be able to obtain access to custom Dashboards providing varying levels of details based on the user profile of the captured instance including accessing support and educational resources.

68 The application is being developed for alerts to be customizable, however CR&R customers would be initially contacted via hang tag, communicating the nature of the auditor’s or driver’s findings.

A “QR code” and website will be available for customers to view further information, including photos, state and city mandates, and access to educational resources. Resolution of the issue would be based on follow-up education and further communication via CR&R staff, but dependent on the specific situation and cause for the driver or auditor’s findings. One primary goal of Audit Pro is to provide information in real-time, allowing Customer Service, Sustainability Specialists, and CR&R customers to access the event as soon as the driver or auditor documents using the application. A second primary goal of Audit Pro is to maintain a database and ensure information is easily accessible in one location and available to the City for SB 1383 reporting and record keeping requirements.

PROPOSAL FORM 7: LIST OF CONTRACTOR-FURNISHED

PERSONNEL

218

1. Describe plan for the annual Bulky Item collection event and annual Bulky Item drop-off day in each City. The parameters are described in Attachment B, Section

4.1.3. CR&R is excited to propose the following program parameters to achieve the intended scope and goals of Attachment B, Section 4.1.3.

As advance and continued promotion of the annual single-family collection and residential dropoff day event is understood to be crucial to achieve the largest participation rate possible and to ensure that items provided for donation are of the highest quality and quantity, CR&R believes that with its effective communication, the Cities and residents will experience a remarkable participation rate. Furthermore, to overcome any potential logistical constraint while ensuring that maximum participation is achieved without the possibility of any incomplete or missed collections, CR&R is recommending providing residents with an ongoing, routed option to donate items in addition to the annual drop-off event to be held per Attachment B, Section 4.1.3.

Communication, staffing and vehicle traffic across each city will be consolidated and focused on the annual drop-off event on the third Saturday in May, with continued advertisement occurring for the option to have routed, curbside collection of donatable items to be handled by CR&R available to residents year-round.

CR&R will provide residents with not only the three (3) Bulky Items Collections per calendar year but provide an additional one (1) collection of donatable items per calendar year of unlimited item count.

Items collected via routed ticketed service will be provided to Goodwill through our partnership agreement. CR&R Customer Service Representatives will confirm with the customer that items are in donatable condition (based on parameters provided by Goodwill) and will route items for collection under a unique ticket. Items will then be collected by CR&R via our box truck route that also collects other recyclable items such as electronic waste and white goods. Items will be tagged for Goodwill and sorted once received at our CR&R facility.

Donatable items bound for Goodwill will be placed in a 40-yard container and transported directly to Goodwill’s Tustin branch where Goodwill employees will sort at their leisure and convenience.

Once acceptable items are selected and removed by Goodwill, CR&R will provide collection of the 40-yard container and process any remaining items per Attachment B, Section 4.1.

PROPOSAL FORM 33: PROPOSER’S PLAN FOR ANNUAL

BULKY ITEM COLLECTION EVENT AND ANNUAL BULKY ITEM

DROP-OFF DAY IN EACH CITY

219
“Donatable Items” refers to items that have financial value and meet the standards as expressed by Goodwill of Orange County which are industry level guidelines placed on items with resale potential. Donatable Items do not include normal “Bulky Items’ that are destined for disposal or have no “upcycle” or resale value. Clothing and household goods that meet the standards as provided by Goodwill of Orange County would be considered as a Donatable Item.

Container weights will be tracked on outgoing deliveries to Goodwill and return weights will be established to obtain the “net” tonnage of donated and repurposed material throughout the year.

2. With which charity, or charities, does the Proposer propose to partner to collect donatable bulky items?
CR&R is proud to state that it has entered into an arrangement with Goodwill of Orange County.

3. Provide a letter from the partner charity indicating that the charity would participate in the annual Bulky Item collection events.

A letter from Goodwill of Orange County is provided at the end of this Form 33.

4. How would the Proposer coordinate with the charity to identify which bulky items are donatable and not donatable?
CR&R has had in depth conversations with the Goodwill of Orange County and will work closely with their Donations and Sustainability Manager to craft communication pieces and social media materials highlighting best practices to assist residents in identifying what items are donatable and not donatable.

Further, as a component to CR&R’s arrangement with Goodwill of Orange County, items will be delivered directly to Goodwill’s Tustin facility which has capacity and staffing available for reviewing and sorting of donatable materials. Through this, Goodwill staff will have greater time and flexibility to utilize their available resources and ensure that the maximum number of items are returned to their marketplaces across the region.

Lastly, all items deemed not-fit-for-donation will be recollected by CR&R and recycled based on the Bulky Item hierarchy as described in the franchise agreement.

5. Which facility, or facilities, would the Proposer utilize for the drop-off event in each City?

220
CR&R in coordination with each City will identify potential and preferred locations however initially, CR&R proposes the following options:

Lake Forest: Saddleback Church
City Sports Park
El Toro High School
Laguna Hills: Laguna Hills High School

6. The required Bulky Item collection services for multi-family are described in Attachment B, Section 4.1.2. How will the multi-family Bulky Item collection from enclosures be accomplished? How will the number of collections allowed for each multi-family complex be ascertained, recorded and tracked? How will Customer Service Representatives be kept up to date on how many collections are remaining for a given complex? Describe the proposed equipment, schedule and other details for a program that meets the requirements of Section 4.1.2 of the Scope of Work in Attachment B.

As the incumbent hauler, CR&R is already familiar with each multi-family property and will verify the quantity of enclosures at each property to ascertain the allotted number of bulky item collections for each community (per Scope of Work). Total number of enclosures and bulky collection quantity will be noted in CRM system on each multi-family account. In addition to notes on the main customer account information page, CR&R also can provide specific notes for each property regarding any special instructions, collection maps and other pertinent information for bulky item collection.

Collections will be routed with CR&R’s dedicated Sustainability Specialists working closely with property managers to identify and mitigate any potential issues concerning the location of items placed out for collection.

Further, as the incumbent hauler, CR&R’s drivers are incredibly familiar with multi-family property layouts across both municipalities, limiting any potential confusion when routing items for collection. All items will be collected on CR&R’s International EV Flatbed or Box Truck vehicles and handled based on the Bulky Item hierarchy as described in the franchise agreement.

This Proposal Form 33 will become Attachment H to the final Agreement.

1. ANNUAL ADJUSTMENT METHOD AND DISPOSAL COST

ADJUSTMENT METHOD FOR MAXIMUM RATES IN

ATTACHMENT D
A. ADJUSTMENT FOR COLLECTION COMPONENT OF ANNUAL RATE

BASED ON PPI
Perform the following calculations based upon the most current adjusted Collection component of the rate. The initial adjustment shall be applied to the Collection component of the rate as identified in Attachment D beginning July 1, 2026.

Step One. Calculate the percentage change in the Producer Price Index for Natural Gas (Series ID WPU0531). The first adjustment to be made on July 1, 2026 shall be calculated by:

ATTACHMENT J
Annual Adjustment of Maximum Rates Contractor May Charge Attachment J Page 2 of 6
1) Calculate the value of the annual average change in the ‘Natural Gas’ PPI for the twelve-month period spanning January 2024 through December 2024. The annual average of these indices is calculated by taking the sum of all 12 monthly indices and then dividing that number by 12. 2) The 2025 annual average value shall then be calculated for the period January 2025 through December 2025. The annual average of these indices is calculated by taking the sum of all 12 monthly indices and then dividing that number by 12.
3) Next, the percentage change for the final Natural Gas PPI shall be determined by calculating the annual change between the 2024 to 2025 values. The annual change shall be calculated by taking the difference between the 2024 and 2025 annual averages and dividing this by the 2024 annual average. For example, if the 2024 annual average was 100 and the 2025 annual average was 110, the change in these values would be 10% ((110-100)/100).

This same calculation shall be performed by comparing the average of the prior twelve-month period ending on December 31 for every year of the Term.

Step Two. Calculate the fuel costs by subtracting the portion of the Collection component of the rate attributed to fuel by multiplying Collection by 15%.

Step Three. Multiply the fuel cost (15% of Collection) by 1 plus the percentage change in preliminary PPI for Natural Gas. If the PPI percentage change is negative, then 15% of Collection will be adjusted downward; and if the PPI percentage change is positive, then 15% of Collection shall be adjusted upward.

The percentage change shall not exceed 25% for a percentage increase, or -25% for a percentage decrease, per annum.

Step Four. Calculate the percentage change using the annual average value of the Producer Price Index for ‘Final Demand - Finished Goods Less Food and Energy’ (Bureau of Labor Statistics Series ID WPUFD4131). The first adjustment to be made on July 1, 2026 shall be calculated by:
1) Calculate the value of the annual average change in the ‘Final Demand - Finished Goods Less Food and Energy’ PPI for the twelve-month period spanning January 2024 through December 2024. The annual average of these indices is calculated by taking the sum of all 12 monthly indices and then dividing that number by 12.
2) The 2025 annual average value shall then be calculated for the period January 2025 through December 2025. The annual average of these indices is calculated by taking the sum of all 12 monthly indices and then dividing that number by 12.
3) Next, the percentage change for the final Finished Goods Less Food and Energy PPI shall be determined by calculating the annual change between

ATTACHMENT J
Annual Adjustment of Maximum Rates Contractor May Charge Attachment J Page 3 of 6
the 2024 to 2025 values. The annual change shall be calculated by taking the difference between the 2024 and 2025 annual averages and dividing this by the 2024 annual average. For example, if the 2024 annual average was 100 and the 2025 annual average was 110, the change in these values would be 10% ((110-100)/100).

This same calculation shall be performed by comparing the average of the prior twelve-month period ending on December 31 for every year of the Term. The percentage change shall not exceed 5% per annum. In the event the calculated average percentage change in the PPI is negative, the rate adjustment shall be zero (0).

Step Five. Multiply the Collection component of the rate by 85% to calculate the Collection fee less fuel costs.

Step Six. Multiply the Collection fee, less fuel costs (85% of Collection) by 1 plus the percentage change in PPI for Finished Goods similar to the calculation shown in Step Four above.

Step Seven. Add the Collection component adjusted for fuel costs (15% of Collection as calculated in Step 3) to the Collection component less fuel costs (85% of Collection as calculated in Step 6) for the total adjusted Collection component of the rate.

Sample Rate Adjustment Calculation for Change in PPI
(All numbers are examples only and are used here for illustration purposes).

Example Assumptions:

Final Annual Average PPI for Finished Goods (old) 140.00 Final Annual Average PPI for Finished Goods (new) 144.00 Final Annual Average PPI for Natural Gas (old) 237.4
Final Annual Average PPI for Natural Gas (new) 270.7
Current Residential Recycling Cart Collection Rate $ 0.91 Current Commingled 3-yd bin Collection Rate $32.28
Step One. Calculate average annual percentage change in PPI for Natural Gas. 270.7 - 237.4 = (33.3/237.4) X 100 = 14.0%
Step Two. Calculate average annual percentage of Collection attributable to fuel costs (= 15%).

Residential Collection Rate: $.91 X .15 = $.14
3 yd. Bin Collection Rate: $32.28 X .15 = $4.84

ATTACHMENT J
Annual Adjustment of Maximum Rates Contractor May Charge Attachment J Page 4 of 6
Step Three. Apply annual percentage change of PPI for Natural Gas to fuel costs calculated in Step Two.

Residential Collection Rate: $.14 X 1.14 = $.16
3 yd. Bin Collection Rate: $4.84 X 1.14 = $5.52
Step Four. Calculate average annual percentage change in PPI for Finished Goods.
144 – 140 = (4/140) 100 = 2.9%
Step Five. Calculate Collection less fuel costs (= 85%).

Residential Collection Rate: $.91 X .85 = $.77
3 yd. Bin Collection Rate: $32.28 X .85 = $27.44
Step Six. Apply annual percentage change of PPI for Finished Goods to Collection fee less fuel costs calculated in Step Five.

Residential Collection Rate: $.77 X 1.029 = $.79
3 yd. Bin Collection Rate: $27.44 X 1.029 = $28.24
Step Seven. Add the rates calculated in step three and step six to calculate the total adjusted Collection rate.

New Residential Collection Rate: $.16 + $.79 = $.95
New 3 yd. Bin Collection Rate: $5.52 + $28.24 = $33.76
B. ADJUSTMENT FOR PROCESSING COMPONENT OF ANNUAL RATE

BASED ON PPI
Perform the following calculations of the most current adjusted Processing component of the rate. The initial adjustment shall be applied to the Processing component of the rate as identified in Attachment D beginning July 1, 2026.

Step One. Calculate the percentage change in the ‘Final Demand - Finished Goods Less Food and Energy’ (Bureau of Labor Statistics Series ID WPUFD4131).

The change in the PPI shall be the average of the twelve-month period ending on December 31 as compared to the prior year’s average percentage change during the 12-month period ending on December 31. The change allowed shall not exceed 5% per annum. In the event the percentage change in the PPI is negative, the adjustment for the Processing component of the rate shall be zero.

Step Two. Multiply the Processing component of the rate by 1 plus the percentage change in the annual average PPI.

ATTACHMENT J
Annual Adjustment of Maximum Rates Contractor May Charge Attachment J Page 5 of 6
Step Three. In the event the calculated percentage change in the PPI is negative, the rate adjustment shall be zero (0).

Sample Rate Adjustment Calculation for Change in PPI
(All numbers are examples only and are used here for illustration purposes).

Example Assumptions:

Final Annual Average PPI for Finished Goods (old) 140.00 Final Annual Average PPI for Finished Goods (new) 144.00 Current Residential Recycling Cart Processing Rate $ 2.48 Current Single-Stream 3 yd. Bin Processing Rate $18.16
Step One. Calculate percentage change in PPI.
144-140 = (4/140) 100 = 2.9%
Step Two. Apply percent change to Processing component of rate.

Residential Processing Rate: $2.48 X 1.029 = $2.55
3 yd. Bin Processing Rate: $18.16 X 1.029 = $18.69
C. ADJUSTMENT FOR CHANGE IN DISPOSAL CHARGE (TIP FEES)

APPLIES ONLY WHEN TIPPING FEE ACTUALLY CHANGES
(INCREASES OR DECREASES)
Step One. Calculate the percentage change in the Disposal Charge per ton, based upon the change between the most recent tipping fee on which rates are based, and the new tipping fee.

Step Two. Apply the resulting percentage change to the most current Disposal component of rate by multiplying the Disposal component by 1 plus the percentage change. If the percentage change is negative, then the Disposal Charge will be adjusted downward; and if the percentage change is positive, then Disposal Charge shall be adjusted upward.

Sample Rate Adjustment Calculation for Change in Disposal Charge (All numbers are examples only and are used here for illustration purposes) Example Assumptions:

Disposal Tip Fee (old) $30.00/ton
Disposal Tip Fee (new) $35.00/ton
Current Disposal Charge
Component of Residential MSW Cart rate $ 0.11
Current Disposal Charge

ATTACHMENT J
Annual Adjustment of Maximum Rates Contractor May Charge Attachment J Page 6 of 6
Component of 3 yd. Bin rate $1.01
Step One. Calculate percentage change in Tip Fee.
$35.00 - $30.00 = ($5/$30.00) 100 = 16.7%
Step Two. Apply percent change to Disposal Charge component of existing rates.

Residential Disposal rate: $.11 x 1.167 = $.13
3 yard Bin Disposal rate: $1.01 x 1.167 = $1.18
D. NO ADJUSTMENT TO NON-ESCALATING CAPITAL COMPONENT
The capital component of the rate will not be adjusted at any point during the term of the Agreement.

Sample Rate Adjustment Calculation for Non-escalating Capital Component (All numbers are examples only and are used here for illustration purposes) Example Assumptions:

Capital cost (old) $1.00
Capital cost (new) $1.00
No adjustment in capital cost component.

E. CALCULATE TOTAL ANNUAL MAXIMUM RATE
Step One. Add the adjusted Collection Component of the Rate (as adjusted in A. above), the adjusted Processing Component of the Rate (as adjusted in B. above), the adjusted Disposal Component of Rate (as adjusted in C. above), and the non-adjusted capital component (as shown in D. above) to calculate total rate for service. Note: the Disposal Component of Rate will not be adjusted up or down if the tipping fee has not changed.

Example (using figures in previous examples included in this Attachment J):

Adjusted Residential Rate: $.95 + $2.55 + $.13 + $1.00 = $4.63 Adjusted 3 yd. Bin Rate: $33.76 + $18.69 + $1.18 + $1.00 = $54.63

Characterizations of Divertible Materials and MSW
and Periodic Onsite Field Cart Contamination Audit Protocols Contractor shall conduct periodic characterizations of Divertible Materials and MSW and periodic on-site field Contamination audits to determine the levels of Contamination in the MSW, Recyclable Materials, and Co-collected Food Scraps/Yard Trimmings Carts.

The characterizations are of (a) Divertible Materials that will be delivered to Processing Facilities; and (b) MSW that will be delivered to a Disposal Site. The on-site field Contamination audits are of Carts and Bins on routes Collecting Divertible Materials and MSW.

The purposes of the characterizations and audits are as follows:
(i) City compliance with CCR Title 14, Division 7, Chapter 12 Section 18984.5 for container Contamination minimization;
(ii) Measuring Contractor’s progress toward earning the incentives for extensions of the Term described in Section 10.01 of the Agreement; (iii) Measuring Contractor’s status regarding meeting the minimum performance standards in Section 10.02 of the Agreement; and (iv) Determining the quantities and types of Contamination in Divertible Materials and MSW being Collected in the City in order to identify sources of the Contamination and to reduce the levels of Contamination through additional public outreach, training, and enforcement of local, state and federal laws and regulations regarding Contamination.

The characterizations described herein are not intended to fulfill the requirements of, nor substitute for, the procedures described in CCR Title 14 Division 7, Chapter 3 Section 17409.5 et seq. that must be performed at Processing Facilities by the owner/operator.

Table 1 provides a summary of the characterizations and audits required in each year of the Term. The specific protocols that shall be used to conduct the characterizations and audits are also included in this Attachment N. The City or its representative may be present for any characterization or field Contamination audit described in this Attachment N. Contractor shall provide no less than thirty (30) calendar days advance notice to the City of when each characterization and audit is scheduled.

Cross-jurisdictional routes: For the purposes of the characterizations described in Section 1 of this Attachment N, a cross-jurisdictional route that services customers in both Lake Forest and Laguna Hills will be considered a Lake Forest route if a majority of the volume-on-service collected on that route was from Customers located Lake Forest.

Similarly, a cross-jurisdictional route where a majority of the volume-on-service is collected from Laguna Hills customers would be considered a Laguna Hills route.

Diversion rate results from a waste characterization conducted on a cross-jurisdictional

ATTACHMENT N
Attachment N Page 2 of 50
route with a majority of collection volume from Lake Forest customers would be applied to Lake Forest tonnage reports in Attachment K and would count towards the number of annual waste characterizations Lake Forest’s that are required to be conducted per this Attachment N.

See Exhibit N-1. for the schedule of characterization studies that shall be conducted during the Term of the Agreement.

Methodology:

Residential sampling protocol: For each Residential characterization study, loads shall be sampled only from Recyclable Materials Collected from Residences.

Each characterization shall be done by hand (i.e. a manual sort not a mechanized sort) and total load weights shall be established for each load sampled. One sample shall represent the entirety of the contents of a Residential Recyclable Materials Cart. Samples shall be collected on the regular service day of the route being sampled. Contractor shall sample only full Residential Carts. A ‘full’ cart is defined as seventy-five percent (75%) or more Cart capacity utilization. Samples shall be collected using one of the following options:
1) a box truck;
2) a flat-bed vehicle, or;
3) a dedicated side-loader during the service day for that geographic area that only collects samples for the purposes of conducting the characterization study.

NOTE: If Contractor is using a box truck or flat-bed vehicle to collect samples and will be removing the Cart from the premises (options 1 and 2 above), Contractor shall immediately replace each full Residential Cart that is Collected, with a clean Cart of the identical size, type and color. The clean replacement cart shall include a ‘hang-tag’ notifying the resident that their Cart was taken by Contractor and replaced with an identical Cart on the day of the characterization study and the reason why the Contractor is conducting the characterization. The notice(s) shall include Contractor’s telephone number, web site address, assurances that any of the Residents’ private information that may be found in the Cart will be kept confidential by Contractor, and at least one (1) social media method for Residents to obtain additional information, ask questions and receive answers from Contractor concerning the characterization. The protocols described herein for Cart removal and ‘hang tags’ are not required if the Contractor chooses to collect samples using option 3 above (a dedicated side-loader to collect samples).

Commercial sampling protocol: For each Commercial characterization study, loads shall be sampled only from Recyclable Materials Collected from Commercial Businesses.

ATTACHMENT N
Attachment N Page 7 of 50
To collect samples for Commercial Waste Characterizations, Contractor shall service only Commercial Bin Customers along a regularly scheduled route. The segregated load containing Recyclable Materials collected from Commercial Premises shall be taken to a facility and dumped on the tipping floor to be sorted, as described in the ‘Sorting Protocol’ section.

Multi-family sampling protocol: For each Multi-family characterization study, loads shall be sampled only from Recyclable Materials Collected from Multi-family accounts. To collect samples for Multi-family Waste Characterizations, Contractor shall service only Multi-family Bin Customers along a regularly scheduled route. The segregated load containing Recyclable Materials collected from Multi-family Premises shall be taken to a facility and dumped on the tipping floor to be sorted, as described in the ‘Sorting Protocol’ section.

Sample Selection Protocol for Residential, Commercial, and Multi-family Containers:

The following number of samples (i.e. full Carts or Bins) per sampled route shall be Collected:

1. For routes that service less than 1,500 generators per week the study shall include a minimum of 25 samples.

2. For routes that service 1,500-3,999 generators per week the study shall include a minimum of 30 samples.

3. For routes that service 4,000- 6,999 generators per week the study shall include a minimum of 35 samples.

4. For routes that service 7,000 or more generators per week the study shall include a minimum of 40 samples.

The characterization study shall include samples taken from different areas in the City along the sampled route that are representative of different neighborhoods and business districts in the City. Samples (i.e. “full” Carts, or Bins, as defined herein) may be gathered on a single day or on multiple service days over the course of the week, provided the above-described total minimum number of samples are collected from the route. A minimum of thirty (30) calendar days in advance of each characterization, Contractor shall provide City with a list and/or map of Residences (with addresses) identified for sampling during the upcoming characterization in order for City to review and make sure the samples will be taken from different areas of the City as described herein.

Sorting protocol: All of the material collected for sampling must be transported to a sorting area at a permitted solid waste facility where the presence of prohibited Contaminants for the Recyclable Materials stream is measured to determine the ratio of prohibited Contaminants present by weight. To determine the ratio of prohibited Contaminants after the field sample selection process is complete, the Contractor shall use the following protocol:

ATTACHMENT N
Attachment N Page 8 of 50

1. Take one sample of at least 200 pounds from the material collected from the Recyclable Materials stream for sampling (e.g. a 200-pound sample taken from the contents of all the blue-lidded Carts collected for sampling spread out on the tipping floor in a pile).

2. The 200-pound sample shall be randomly selected from different areas of the pile of Recyclable Materials. Materials shall be collected for sorting from the sample pile using a grid method and shall be hand collected. The grid method assigns an imaginary XY axis over the load after it is dumped on the tipping floor. Four random number pairings between 0-20 (for the long dimension of the load i.e. length) and 0-10 (for the shorter dimension of the load, i.e. width) shall be generated to identify the location of the samples on the load. Each sample shall weigh at least 50 lbs. and shall be collected by hand in a 60- to 90-gallon Cart.

3. For the 200-pound sample, remove any prohibited Contaminants and sort Recyclable Materials by commodity type. Place Contaminants and sorted Recyclable commodities into separate Carts. Determine the weight of prohibited Contaminants and sorted Recyclable commodities by weighing each Cart and deducting the Cart tare weight. Note the gross weight, and net weight for Contaminants manually using the worksheet provided in Exhibit N-2.

4. Calculate the composition percentage of both Contaminants and Recyclable commodities in the sample. To determine the ratio of prohibited Contaminants in the sample, divide the total net weight of prohibited Contaminants by the total weight of the sample. To determine the ratio of Recyclable commodities in the sample, divide the total net weight of each Recyclable commodity by the total weight of the sample.

Analysis: The results of the samples shall then be used to produce a characterization that shall be used to establish the percentage Diversion and the percent of Residue for the City’s Recyclable Materials routes. This characterization process shall be repeated twice annually to establish the next six-months’ tonnage allocation (e.g. percent Diverted and percent that is Contaminants) to account for seasonal fluctuations. Said tonnage allocation shall be used in and included in the tonnage reports described in Attachment K. Contractor shall apply the average of the results of each waste characterization to the Attachment K tonnage reports and include this average calculation in its report. For example, if it is the fourth characterization and the diversion rate was 75% and the previous three characterization results where 85%, 90%, and 80%, the diversion rate applied to the Attachment K reports for the next 6-month period would be 82.5% ((85%+90%+80%+75%)/4).

Non-recyclable contaminants found in the samples shall be photographed and noted to include in future outreach materials to remind Customers of the prohibition of these materials in the Recyclable stream.

The Recyclable commodities sampled and sorted during this process shall be paper, cardboard, newsprint, mixed paper, plastics (numbers 1 & 2), mixed plastics, non-ferrous metals, tin, aluminum, and other Recyclable Materials as directed by the City. Exhibit NPage 835 of 1232

ATTACHMENT N
Attachment N Page 9 of 50
2 includes the characterization data collection sheet that shall be used during the characterization.

Calculating Density on Service: For purposes of determining the average densities of components Collected, and as a metric to evaluate Collection efficiencies and Cart capacity utilization, the Contractor shall perform the following calculation:

The net tonnage of the Recyclable Materials Collected in the sampled trucks (or sampled Carts) shall be calculated by dividing the total tons Collected of Recyclable Materials by the total on-service cubic yards Collected to calculate a density for the Recyclable Materials stream.

For example, if one load sampled weighed a total of 5 Tons and was Collected from 100 cubic yards on service, the average “material on service density” for this stream would be 100 lbs. per cubic yard. Cubic yards on service shall be calculated using actual route data (i.e. if one route sampled collected 100 64-gal carts, the yards on service for that route would be 6,400 gallons, or 31.7 cubic yards).

Reporting: Contractor shall submit a written report to the City semi-annually beginning with Contractor’s first Quarterly Report for Q3, 2025. The report will summarize the results of the characterization study, including a summary of the characterization results; the measured weights for each commodity; the percent of each commodity found in each sample and in aggregate; a description and photographs of the types of Contaminant materials found during the characterization study; the average density on-service for the materials sampled (i.e. load weights divided by yards collected); locations where the samples were collected; and any other data requested by the City. Upon approval by the City, the results of the characterization study shall be applied to the Tons delivered to the Clean MRF and Tons of Contaminants delivered to the Landfill from the Clean MRF in subsequent monthly reports and shall be in effect until the results of the next characterization study are approved by the City.

1b. Characterization Protocol for Residential Co-collected Food Scraps/Yard Trimmings, Commercial and Multi-family Source-separated Food Scraps Being Delivered to Processing Facilities
The following protocol shall be used to conduct characterizations at the Processing Facilities where the following material components are processed:
• Residential stream - curbside co-collected Yard Trimmings and Food Scraps component
• Commercial stream – Source-separated Food Scraps component • Multi-Family stream – Source separated Food Scraps component Due to the distance to the City-approved Compost Facility in Attachment P, characterizations shall be conducted at the transfer station or at another permitted solid waste facility in Orange County selected by Contractor and approved by City.

Timing: Characterization studies shall be conducted two (2) times each year of Agreement for the Residential Food Scrap/Yard Trimmings stream, the Commercial Source-separated Food Scraps, and Multi-family Source-separated Food Scraps stream so that each study selects a sample during the ‘high season’ (June through September) and during the low season (October through May) as shown in the table provided as Exhibit N-1 to this Attachment N. (Note: The quarters refer to calendar year quarters as noted in the footnote in Exhibit N-1). The first characterization(s) shall take place beginning calendar Quarter 3, 2025. The timing for when the characterization studies are conducted shall be staggered so that after two (2) years, one (1) Residential and one (1) Commercial and (1) Multi-family characterization shall have taken place during each calendar quarter, with two (2) Residential, two (2) Commercial, and two (2) Multi-family characterizations completed during the high season (Quarters 2 and 3) and two (2) Residential, two (2) Commercial and two (2) Multi-family characterizations completed during the low season (Quarter 1 and 4).

Residential timing example: For example, for Agreement Year 1 (7/1/2025 – 6/30/2026), the Contractor shall conduct one (1) Residential characterization study of the Co-Collected Food Scraps/Yard Trimmings stream in Calendar Quarter 4, 2025 (low season) and one (1) during Calendar Quarter 3, 2025 (high season).

ATTACHMENT N
Attachment N Page 11 of 50
Multi-family timing example: For Agreement Year 1 (7/1/2025 – 6/30/2026), the Contractor shall conduct one (1) Multi-family characterization study of the Sourceseparated Food Scraps stream in Calendar Quarter 1, 2026 (low season) and one (1) during Calendar Quarter 2, 2026 (high season). In Agreement Year 2 (7/1/2026 – 6/30/2027), the Contractor shall conduct one (1) characterization study of the Multi-family Source-separated Food Scraps stream in June of Calendar Quarter 2, 2027 (high season) and Calendar Quarter 4, 2026 (low-season).

See Exhibit N-1. for the schedule of characterization studies that shall be conducted over the Term of the Agreement.

Methodology:

Residential Sampling protocol: For each characterization study, loads shall be sampled only for Co-Collected Food Scraps/Yard Trimmings Collected from Residences.

Each characterization shall be done by hand (i.e. a manual sort not a mechanized sort) and total load weights shall be established for each load sampled. One sample shall represent the entirety of the contents of a Residential Co-Collected Food Scrap/Yard Trimmings. Samples shall be collected on the regular service day of the route being sampled. Contractor shall sample only full Carts. For Food Scraps/Yard Trimmings, a ‘full’ cart is defined as fifty percent (50%) or more Cart capacity utilization. Sampling shall be collected using one of the following options:
1) a box truck;
2) a flat-bed vehicle, or;
3) a dedicated side-loader during the service day for that geographic area that only collects samples for the purposes of conducting the characterization study.

NOTE: If Contractor is using a box truck or flat-bed vehicle to collect samples and will be removing the Cart from the premises (options 1 and 2 above), Contractor shall immediately replace each full Residential Cart that is Collected, with a clean Cart of the identical size, type and color. The clean replacement cart will include a ‘hang-tag’ notifying the resident that their Cart was taken by Contractor and replaced with an identical Cart on the day(s) the characterization study and the reason why the Contractor is conducting the waste characterization. The notice(s) shall include Contractor’s telephone number, web site address, assurances that any of the Residents’ private information that may be found in the Cart will be kept confidential by Contractor, and at least one (1) social media method for Residents to obtain additional information, ask questions and receive answers from Contractor concerning the characterization. The protocols described herein for Cart removal and ‘hang tags’ are not required if the Contractor chooses to collect samples using option 3 above (a dedicated side-loader to collect samples).

Commercial sampling protocol: For each Commercial characterization study, loads shall be sampled only from Source-separated Food Scrap Materials Collected from

ATTACHMENT N
Attachment N Page 12 of 50
Commercial Businesses. To collect samples for Commercial Waste Characterizations, Contractor shall service only Commercial Customers along a regularly scheduled route.

The segregated load containing Source-separated Food Scraps collected from Commercial Premises shall be taken to a facility and dumped on the tipping floor to be sorted, as described in the ‘Sorting Protocol’ section.

Commercial and Multi-family sampling protocol: For each Multi-family characterization study, loads shall be sampled only from Source-separated Food Scrap Materials Collected from Multi-family Premises. To collect samples for Multi-family Waste Characterizations, Contractor shall service only Multi-family Bin Customers along a regularly scheduled route. The segregated load containing Source-separated Food Scraps collected from Multi-family Premises shall be taken to a facility and dumped on the tipping floor to be sorted, as described in the ‘Sorting Protocol’ section.

Sample Selection Protocol for Residential, Commercial, and Multi-family Containers:

The following number of samples (i.e. full Carts or Bins) per sampled route shall be Collected:

1. For routes that service less than 1,500 generators per week the study shall include a minimum of 25 samples.

2. For routes that service 1,500-3,999 generators per week the study shall include a minimum of 30 samples.

3. For routes that service 4,000- 6,999 generators per week the study shall include a minimum of 35 samples.

4. For routes that service 7,000 or more generators per week the study shall include a minimum of 40 samples.

The characterization study shall include samples taken from different areas in the City along the sampled route that are representative of Co-Collected Food Scraps/Yard Trimmings in different neighborhoods and business districts throughout the City. Samples (i.e. “full” Carts, or Bins, as defined herein) may be gathered on a single day or on multiple service days over the course of the week provided the above-described total samples are collected from the route. A minimum of thirty (30) calendar days in advance of each characterization, Contractor shall provide City with a list and/or map of Residences, Commercial Businesses, or Multi-family Premises (with addresses) identified for sampling during the upcoming characterization in order for City to review and make sure the samples will be taken from different areas of the City as described herein.

Sorting protocol: All of the material collected on-route for sampling must be transported to a sorting area at a permitted solid waste facility where the presence of prohibited Contaminants in the Co-collected Food Scraps/Yard Trimmings and/or Source-separated Food Scraps are measured to determine the ratio of prohibited Contaminants present in

ATTACHMENT N
Attachment N Page 13 of 50
each Cart by type and weight. To determine the ratio of prohibited Contaminants the Contractor shall use the following protocol:

1. Take one sample of at least 200 pounds from the material collected from the sampled stream for sampling (e.g. a 200-pound sample taken from the contents of all of the Food Scraps/Yard Trimmings Carts/Bins collected for sampling).

2. The 200-pound sample shall be randomly selected from different areas of the pile of Food Scraps/Yard Trimmings. Materials shall be collected for sorting from the sample pile using a grid method and shall be hand collected. The grid method assigns an imaginary XY axis over the load after it is dumped on the tipping floor.

Four random number pairings between 0-20 (for the long dimension of the load i.e. length) and 0-10 (for the shorter dimension of the load i.e. width) shall be generated to identify the location of the samples on the load. Each sample shall weigh at least 50 lbs. and shall be collected by hand in a 60-to 90-gallon Cart.

3. For the 200-pound sample, remove any prohibited Contaminants and sort materials by the commodity types indicated in the ‘sorting Categories’ section below (Processing Facility Categories 1 and 2). Place Contaminants and sorted materials into separate Carts. Determine the weight of prohibited Contaminants and of the sorted materials by weighing each Cart and deducting the Cart tare weight. Record the gross weight and net weight for Contaminants and Divertible Food Scraps/Yard Trimmings manually using the worksheet provided in Exhibit N3.

4. Calculate the composition percentage of both Contaminants and Divertible Food Scraps/Yard Trimmings Waste in the sample. To determine the ratio of prohibited Contaminants in the sample, divide the total net weight of prohibited Contaminants by the total weight of the sample. To determine the ratio of Divertible Food Scraps/Yard Trimmings in the sample, divide the total net weight of the Food Scraps/Yard Trimmings by the total weight of the sample.

Sorting Categories: Materials shall be sorted into the categories below and shall be weighed:

Processing Facility Category 1 – Materials Accepted at the City-designated Composting Facility in Attachment P
Processing Facility Category 2 - Contamination: Materials that are considered Contamination and that are not accepted by the City-designated Composting Facility in Attachment P.

Category 1 acceptable materials include: Food Scraps, Food Soiled Paper, Yard Trimmings, prunings, leaves, other yard trimmings, grass clippings and all other acceptable materials listed under the category “Co-Collected Food Scraps/Yard Trimmings” and “Source-separated Food Scraps” in Attachment B, Section 5.

Category 2 non-acceptable material types include: MSW, Recyclable Materials, glass, plastics, and all other material types listed as “Contamination” for Food Scraps/Yard Trimmings and Source-separated Food Scraps in Attachment B, Section 5.

ATTACHMENT N
Attachment N Page 14 of 50
Exhibit N-3 includes the characterization data collection sheet that shall be used during these characterization studies.

The Category 2 non-accepted materials shall also be separated manually and weighed by material type (e.g. plastics, glass, metals, non-compostable packaging, etc.). The type and weight of each non-Divertible material type shall be recorded and carefully photodocumented and included in the Contractor’s report to the City. Non-recoverable nonorganic contaminants found in the samples shall be photographed and noted to include in future outreach materials to remind Customers of the prohibition of these materials in the Recyclable stream.

Analysis: The results of the samples shall then be used to produce a characterization that shall be used to establish the percentage Diversion and the amount of Contaminants for the City’s Co-Collected Food Scraps/Yard Trimmings and Source-separated Food Scraps routes. This characterization process shall be repeated twice annually to establish the next six-months’ tonnage allocation (e.g. percent Diverted and percent that is Contaminants) to account for seasonal fluctuations. Said tonnage allocation shall be used in, and included in, the tonnage reports described in Attachment K. Contractor shall apply the average of the results of each waste characterization to the Attachment K tonnage reports and include this average calculation in its report. For example, if it is the fourth characterization and the diversion rate was 75% and the previous three characterization results where 85%, 90%, and 80%, the diversion rate applied to the Attachment K reports for the next 6-month period would be 82.5% ((85%+90%+80%+75%)/4).

In the case of a significant rain event, characterizations of Co-Collected Food Scraps/Yard Trimmings and Source-separated Food Scraps shall be delayed until dry conditions have returned for a one (1) week period and Contractor shall immediately notify the City of the delay, the reason for the delay and of the new characterization date(s).

Calculating Density on Service: For purposes of determining the average density of Food Scraps/Yard Trimmings and Source-separated Food Scraps Collected, and as a metric to evaluate Collection efficiencies and Cart capacity utilization, the Contractor shall perform the following calculation:

The net tonnage of the Food Scraps/Yard Trimmings and Source-separated Food Scraps Collected in the sampled trucks (or sampled Carts) shall be calculated by dividing by the total tons Collected of Food Scraps/Yard Trimmings and Sourceseparated Food Scraps by the total on-service cubic yards Collected to calculate a density for this stream. The results shall be recorded and reported in the audit.

For example, if one (1) load sampled weighed a total of 5 Tons and was Collected from 100 cubic yards on service, the average “material on service density” for this stream would be 100 lbs. per cubic yard. Cubic yards on service shall be calculated using actual route data (i.e. if one route sampled collected 100 64-gal Carts, the yards on service for that route would be 6400 gallons, of 31.7 cubic yards).

ATTACHMENT N
Attachment N Page 15 of 50
Reporting: Contractor shall submit a written report to the City semi-annually beginning with Contractor’s first Quarterly report in Quarter 3, 2025. The report will summarize the results of the characterization study, including a summary of characterization results; the measured weights for each commodity or category; the percent of each commodity/category found in each sample and in aggregate; a description and photographs of the types of Contaminants materials found during the characterization study; the average density on-service for the materials sampled (i.e. load weights divided by yards serviced); locations where the samples were collected; and any other data requested by the City. Upon approval by the City, the results of the characterization study shall be applied to the Tons delivered to the Food Scraps/Yard Trimmings and Sourceseparated Food Scraps Processing Facility and Tons of Contaminants delivered to the Landfill from the Food Scraps/Yard Trimmings and Source-separated Food Scraps in subsequent monthly reports and shall be in effect until the results of the next characterization study are approved by the City.

The protocols described herein for Cart removal and ‘hang tags’ are not required if the Contractor chooses to collect samples using methodology 3 above (a dedicated side-loader to collect samples).

Commercial MSW sampling protocol: For each Commercial characterization study, loads shall be sampled only from MSW Materials Collected from Commercial Businesses.

To collect samples for Commercial Waste Characterizations, Contractor shall service only Commercial Bin Customers along a regularly scheduled route. The segregated load containing MSW collected from Commercial Premises shall be taken to a facility and dumped on the tipping floor to be sorted, as described in the ‘Sorting Protocol’ section.

Multi-family MSW sampling protocol: For each Multi-family characterization study, loads shall be sampled only from MSW Materials Collected from Multi-family accounts.

To collect samples for Multi-family Waste Characterizations, Contractor shall service only Multi-family Bin Customers along a regularly scheduled route. The segregated load

ATTACHMENT N
Attachment N Page 18 of 50
containing MSW collected from Multi-family Premises shall be taken to a facility and dumped on the tipping floor to be sorted, as described in the ‘Sorting Protocol’ section.

Sample Selection Protocol for Residential, Commercial, and Multi-family Containers:

The following number of samples (i.e. full Carts or Bins) per sampled route shall be Collected:

1. For routes that service less than 1,500 generators per week the study shall include a minimum of 25 samples.

2. For routes that service 1,500-3,999 generators per week the study shall include a minimum of 30 samples.

3. For routes that service 4,000- 6,999 generators per week the study shall include a minimum of 35 samples.

4. For routes that service 7,000 or more generators per week the study shall include a minimum of 40 samples.

The characterizations shall include samples taken from different areas in the City along the sampled route that are representative of the City’s MSW stream. Samples (i.e. full Carts) may be gathered on a single day or on multiple service days over the course of the week provided the above-described total samples are collected from the route. A minimum of thirty (30) calendar days in advance of each characterization, Contractor shall provide City with a list and/or map of Residences, Commercial Businesses, or Multi-family Properties (with addresses) identified for sampling during the upcoming characterization in order for City to review and make sure the samples will be taken from different areas of the City as described herein.

Sorting protocol: All MSW collected for sampling must be transported to a sorting area at a permitted solid waste facility where the presence of prohibited Contaminants in the MSW are measured to determine the ratio of prohibited Contaminants present by type and weight. To determine the ratio of prohibited Contaminants after the field sample selection process is complete, the Contractor shall use the following protocol:

1. Take one sample of at least 200 pounds from the material collected from the MSW stream for sampling (e.g. a 200-pound sample taken from the contents of all of the MSW Carts collected for sampling).

2. The 200-pound sample shall be randomly selected from different areas of the pile of MSW. MSW shall be collected for sorting from the sample pile using a grid method and shall be hand collected. The grid method assigns an imaginary XY axis over the load after it is dumped on the tipping floor. Four random number pairings between 0-20 (for the long dimension of the load i.e. length) and 0-10 (for the shorter dimension of the load i.e. width) shall be generated to identify the location of the samples on the load. Each sample shall weigh at least 50 lbs. and shall be collected by hand in a 60- to 90-gallon Carts.

ATTACHMENT N
Attachment N Page 19 of 50

3. For the 200-pound sample, remove any prohibited Contaminants and sort materials by the four categories indicated below (Categories 1, 2, 3, and 4). Place Contaminants and sorted materials into separate Carts. Determine the weight of each category type by weighing each Cart and deducting the Cart tare weight.

Note the gross weight and net weight for each category manually using the worksheet provided in Exhibit N-4.

4. Calculate the composition percentage of each category in the sample by dividing the total net weight of each category by the total weight of the sample.

Sorting Categories: Materials shall be sorted into the categories below and shall be weighed:

Category 1: Food Scrap or Yard Trimmings materials accepted in the Co-collected Food Scrap/Yard Trimmings program as listed in Attachment B, Section 5.

Category 2: Recyclable Materials accepted in the Recyclable Materials Collection program as listed in Attachment B, Section 5.

Category 3: Non-recoverable MSW
Category 4: HHW, E-waste, U-waste, automobile parts and other materials that should not be placed in the MSW Cart
Analysis: The results of the samples shall then be used to produce a characterization that shall be used to assess the recoverability of materials in the MSW Cart.

Calculating Density on Service: For purposes of determining the average densities of MSW Collected, and as a metric to evaluate Collection efficiencies and Cart capacity utilization, the Contractor shall perform the following calculation:

The net tonnage of MSW Collected in the sampled trucks (or Carts) shall be calculated by dividing by the total tons Collected of MSW by the total on-service cubic yards Collected to calculate a density for the MSW stream and the results shall be recorded and reported in the audit.

For example, if one (1) load sampled weighed a total of 5 Tons and was Collected from 1000 cubic yards on service, the average “material on service density” for the MSW stream would be 100 lbs. per cubic yard. Cubic yards on service shall be calculated using actual route data (i.e. if one route sampled collected 100 64-gal carts, the yards on service for that route would be 6,400 gallons, or 31.7 cubic yards).

Exhibit N-4 includes the characterization data collection sheet that shall be used for the MSW characterization studies.

Reporting: Contractor shall submit a written report to the City semi-annually beginning with Contractor’s first Quarterly report in Quarter 3, 2025. The report will summarize the results of the characterization study, including a summary of the characterization results;

ATTACHMENT N
Attachment N Page 20 of 50
the measured weights for each commodity or category; the percent of each commodity/category found in each sample and in aggregate; locations where the samples were collected; a description and photographs of the types of Contaminants found during the characterization study; the average on-service density for the materials sampled (i.e. load weights divided by yards serviced); and any other data requested by the City.

1.d. Requirements If Contamination Exceeds 25%
If the sampled weight of prohibited Contaminants exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) of the measured sample for any material type (MSW, Recyclable Materials and/or Food Scraps/Yard Trimmings), the Contractor shall perform the following:
(A) Notify all Residents and/or Commercial/Multi-family Customers on the sampled Collection route(s) of the requirement to properly separate materials into the appropriate Carts. The Contractor may provide this information by placing a notice on the Residents’ Cart(s), gate, or door, and/or by mail, e-mail, or electronic message to the Resident. All notifications distributed to Residents must be approved by the City prior to distribution.
(B) During the quarter after the characterization where a Contamination rate of 25% or more was found for any stream (MSW, Recyclable Materials and/or Food Scraps/Yard Trimmings), Contractor shall target the high-Contamination route(s) for each such stream to be audited in the regularly-scheduled, semi-annual on-site field Cart Contamination audits described in Section 2 of this Attachment N. 1e. Characterization Methodology for C&D Processing Facilities Twice annually beginning July 2025 and January 2026, Contractor shall report facilitywide Diversion rates for all C&D Processing Facilities used by the Contractor. The Contractor shall provide facility-wide Diversion rate data and a written explanation, including calculations, of how the Diversion rate was calculated. The City may request source documentation supporting the facility-wide Diversion rate. Upon request by the City, the Contractor shall conduct a weight-based characterization study for materials Collected by Contractor in the City and delivered to the Contractor’s C&D Processing Facility over the course of a five (5) day period. The Contractor shall manually sort the contents of each of the C&D loads originating in the City by commodity types (including, at a minimum, Wood, concrete, asphalt, drywall/gypsum, bricks, metals, dirt, Yard Trimmings, and grubbing material) and weigh the separated commodities to calculate the Diversion rate.

Reporting: Contractor shall submit a written report to the City semi-annually beginning January 2026. The report shall summarize the results of the characterization study, including a roll-up of all five (5) days of characterization results; the measured weights for each commodity or category; the percent of each commodity/category found in each sample and in aggregate; a description and photographs of the types of Residue materials found during the characterization study; the average on-service density for the materials

ATTACHMENT N
Attachment N Page 21 of 50
sampled (i.e. load weights divided by yards serviced); and any other data requested by the City. Upon approval by the City, the results of the characterization study shall be applied to the Tons delivered to the C&D Processing Facility and Tons of Residue delivered to the Landfill in subsequent monthly reports and shall be in effect until the results of the next characterization study are approved by the City.

2. Protocol for On-site Field Carts and Bins Contamination Audits

2.a Protocol for Residential On-site Field Cart Contamination Audits The following methodology shall be used to conduct on-site field Contamination audits of the following Residential materials:
• Residential Recyclable Materials
• Residential Co-collected Food Scraps/Yard Trimmings
• Residential MSW
Timing: On-site field Contamination audits shall be conducted two (2) times each calendar year on a semi-annual basis.

Methodology:

Before the on-site field Contamination audits are conducted, the Contractor shall coordinate with the City to target specific Residential neighborhoods throughout the City.

Contractor shall target routes for audits that were found to have a 25% or higher Contamination rate based on characterizations conducted the previous quarter as described in Section 1d of this Attachment N.

Each semi-annual on-site field Contamination audit (“lid flip”) shall target a minimum of five percent (5%) of the Residences served by the Contractor in the City. The Contractor may conduct the audit over the course of several days or complete the audit in a single day, provided it allocates adequate staffing to complete the methodology herein in a diligent and workmanlike fashion. Per Section 18984.5(b) of the SB 1383 regulations, audits shall be conducted in a manner that results in Carts along all Contractor routes being audited annually. The audits shall be conducted on Carts placed at curbside or in the alley by the Resident for Collection by Contractor (e.g. MSW, Recyclable Materials, and Co-Collected Food Scraps/Yard Trimmings) before the Carts are Collected on the regular service day, in order to observe full Carts. The specific methodology for conducting the audit of each Cart shall be as follows:

1. Upon arrival at a Residence, note Cart serial number(s) (if the carts have a serial number), the material-type for each Cart (MSW, Recyclable Materials, or Food Scraps/Yard Trimmings), the size of the Cart, and number of carts set out for service.

2. Flip lid of each Cart and note fullness of each Cart. Using a tool, prod around to reposition materials in Cart to visually assess maximum amount of the contents of the Cart. Open bags if most of the contents in the Cart are bagged. Note and photograph any Contamination observed in any Cart audited. Note photo numbers on audit sheet and if materials are bagged. Estimate percentage, by volume, of specific Contamination materials observed (e.g. glass or plastics in Food

ATTACHMENT N
Attachment N Page 23 of 50
Scraps/Yard Trimmings Cart; leaves in Recyclable Materials Cart; aluminum cans in MSW Cart) and note them on audit sheet.

3. If Contaminants are observed, place a ‘hang tag’ on the Contaminated Cart noting the unacceptable material that was found in the Cart and provide public education materials reminding the Customer of what materials are acceptable in which Carts (as further described below). If non-containerization is observed (i.e. overflowing MSW, Recyclable Materials, or Yard Trimmings/Food Scraps, bags of materials on the ground, etc.), place a separate ‘hang tag’ as described in Attachment B, Section 2.7, on the container(s).

4. Once per year, for ten percent (10%) of the Food Scrap/Yard Trimming Carts audited, place the Cart on a scale and note total weight. Record standard tare weights based on Cart size and subtract the tare weight from the total Cart weight to obtain the net Cart weight. Record the net Cart weight. The weighing of Food Scrap/Yard Trimmings carts shall take place during different quarters each year so that after 4 years, the Contractor will have weighed Food Scrap/Yard Trimmings Carts during each calendar quarter during the previous four years.

During the audits, the Contractor shall note all the following attributes on the data collection form in Exhibit N-5:
• Fullness of each of the Carts set out for Collection (percent full – by volume) • Percentage, by volume, of observed Contamination in each of the Carts set out for Collection (i.e., MSW or Food Scraps in Carts for Recyclable Materials; Recyclable Materials, Food Scraps, and/or Yard Trimmings in MSW Cart; Recyclable Materials and MSW in a Co-collected Food Scraps/Yard Trimmings Cart)
• Descriptions of specific Contaminants found in each Cart • Participation of Residents in Co-collection program (i.e., the presence of CoCollected Yard Trimmings/Food Scrap Cart set out for Collection) • Curbside/alley placement rates (i.e., the absence of a Recyclable Materials or Food Scraps/Yard Trimmings Cart when an MSW Cart is present at the curb or in the alley)
• The presence of bagged materials in Recyclable Materials and/or Food Scraps/Yard Trimmings Carts
• Total weight of each Cart for at least 10% of the Food Scrap/Yard Trimmings Carts audited (weigh using portable scale) if the annual weighing requirement occurred during the audit that is being performed and reported If there is any observable Contamination in any Cart, the Contractor shall place a ‘hang tag’ on the Cart notifying the Customer of the Contamination incident and how to correct it. The ‘hang tag’ shall indicate 1) the type of Contaminant(s) observed by Contractor’s staff during the audit and 2) the appropriate Cart in which the prohibited Contaminant(s) should be placed. The notification shall include information regarding the Resident’s requirement to properly separate materials into the appropriate Carts. The City shall approve of the ‘hang tag’ before it is placed into use. The Contamination items and

ATTACHMENT N
Attachment N Page 24 of 50
quantities shall be noted and photographed. The photo number and Contamination item(s) shall be noted in the field data collection sheet.

Reporting: Contractor shall submit a written report for the semi-annual audits to the City in the quarterly report that covers the reporting period when the audit was conducted. For example, if the audit was conducted in August 2025 (calendar quarter 3), the report shall be submitted with the Quarter 3 report. The report shall summarize the results of the auditing program, the number of households audited, the number of non-participants for each Diversion program (Recyclable Materials and Food Scraps/Yard Trimmings), Contamination incidents for each quarterly audit, the average fullness levels of each type of Residential Cart (MSW, Recyclable Materials and Food Scraps/Yard Trimmings), the average weights of Food Scraps/ Yard Trimmings Carts, the average observed Contamination levels for MSW, Recyclable Materials and Food Scraps/ Yard Trimmings Carts, locations where on-site Contamination audits were conducted, addresses of Residents where prohibited Contaminants were observed, addresses where Recyclable Materials and/or Food Scraps/ Yard Trimmings program non-participation was observed (i.e. Recyclable Materials or Food Scraps/ Yard Trimmings Carts were not rolled out to the curb or placed in the alley for Collection), descriptions of specific Contaminants found in each type of Cart (MSW, Recyclable Materials and Food Scraps/ Yard Trimmings Carts), photos supporting the findings.

After each audit, Contractor shall geocode the results of the lid-flipping audit to associate the observed contamination rate with the address of the customer using GIS software.

Geocoded data from the audits shall be plotted on a map with all previous results to show cumulative data from the lid flipping audits. Color-coded symbology shall be used to reflect levels of contamination found during lid-flipping audit such that high-levels of contamination (25%+) are shown as red and low levels of contamination (less than 5%) are shown as green ‘dots’ on the map. The geocoded data will be used to identify which neighborhoods have been audited, where high levels of contamination are found, and can be used to determine which neighborhoods need additional outreach and education as well as to determine which neighborhoods will be targeted for future contamination audits.

Contractor shall include a link to the geocoded data with its report submittals to the City.

If the audit data shows that, during Phase 1 (July 1, 2025 – December 31, 2027 as described in Article 10), the observed Contamination levels, by volume, for any stream (MSW, Recyclable Materials, and/or Food Scraps/Yard Trimmings) exceed 25%, Contractor shall submit an action plan to reduce Contamination as part of its report. If the audit data shows that, after January 1, 2027 and for the remainder of the Agreement Term, that the observed Contamination levels, by volume, for any stream exceed 15%, Contractor shall submit an action plan to reduce Contamination as part of its report. The Contamination Reduction Action Plans submitted by Contractor shall include a detailed plan to reduce Contamination for the neighborhoods where high levels of Contamination were observed during the audits. The plan may include presentations at neighborhood association meetings, door-to-door canvassing by Recycling Coordinators, the distribution of written materials to all households on the route where high levels of contamination were encountered, targeted social media posts, etc.

2b. Protocols for Commercial/Multi-family On-site Field Carts and Bins Contamination Audits
The following methodology shall be used to conduct on-site field Contamination audits of the following Commercial and Multi-Family programs:
• Single-Stream Recyclables
• Source separated Food Scraps
• MSW
Purpose: To quantify the volume of Divertible materials (i.e. Recyclable Materials, Yard Trimmings and Food Scraps) in Commercial MSW Containers to measure the efficacy of Source-Separated Recycling and Food Scrap Collection programs; and the data gathered from the on-site field Container Contamination audits will help the City to determine the following:
1) If there are Divertible materials still being deposited in the MSW Bins/Carts after a Single Stream Recycling program and a Food Scrap Collection program have been implemented.
2) The levels of Contamination in Single-Stream Recycling and Food Scrap Collection Bins as well as in MSW Bins/Carts.
3) The types, weights, volumes, and densities of materials being placed into the MSW Bin/Cart after a Single Stream and/or Single Material Recycling program and a Food Scrap Collection program have been implemented.
4) Identify specific Customers where additional outreach, education and training is needed.

Timing: On-site field Contamination audits shall be conducted on an on-going basis and incorporated into the Recycling Coordinators’ daily site work so that annually all Commercial and Multi-Family Customers in the City will receive at least one (1) field Contamination audits of all of the above-listed components. Audits shall commence in July 2025 and continue throughout the Term.

Methodology: Using a field data sheet collaboratively developed and approved of by the City, Contractor shall note the following attributes for all Bins and/or Carts present at each Customer:
• Capacity utilization (i.e. Bin/Cart percent full by volume) • Percentage, by volume, of Recyclable Materials and Food Scraps found in each Bin/Cart
• Percentage, by volume, of MSW found in the Single Stream Recyclables and/or Food Scrap and/or Yard Trimmings Bin/Cart(s)
• Percentage, by volume, of Divertible Food Scraps and of Recyclable Materials found in the MSW Bin/Cart (percentage of each material) • Percent fullness of each Bin/Cart associated with the account • Serial numbers or bar code numbers on the Bins/Carts

ATTACHMENT N
Attachment N Page 26 of 50
• Weight of a minimum of five percent (5%) of the Food Scrap Carts audited • Date of site visit
• Photo number(s)
• Discrepancies between field inventories and account service database (i.e. what equipment the Customer has compared to what that Customer is being billed for) • Any other notable observations.

The on-site field Contamination audits shall be conducted as close as possible to the regular Collection day and time for the Bins/Carts to obtain an accurate assessment of the Bin/Cart contents at the time of routine Collection. All field observations shall be photodocumented and photo numbers tracked on the field data collection sheet.

Reporting: Contamination field audit data shall be tracked in the City’s Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system and/or Red/Green Listing. Annually, in April, (beginning April 2026) the Contractor shall submit a summary report with all year-to-date data aggregated and analyzed. Key metrics in the report shall include:
• Average Bin/Cart capacity utilization by stream and component • Average Contamination percentage levels, by volume, by stream, by component and by Contamination types
• Material densities by stream and by component, accounting for capacity utilization
• Any disparities between field observations and service discrepancies • Photos and descriptions of common Contaminants encountered • If Contamination exceeds ten percent (10%) by component, an action plan to reduce Contamination
• Actions taken to reduce Contamination during the reporting period • Other notable data
After each audit, Contractor shall geocode the results of the lid-flipping audit to associate the observed contamination rate with the address of the customer using GIS software.

Geocoded data from the audits shall be plotted on a map with all previous results to show cumulative data from the lid flipping audits. Color-coded symbology shall be used to reflect levels of contamination found during lid-flipping audit such that high-levels of contamination (25%+) are shown as red and low levels of contamination (less than 5%) are shown as green ‘dots’ on the map. The geocoded data will be used to identify where high levels of contamination are found and can be used to determine which parts of the City need additional outreach and education. Contractor shall include a link to the geocoded data with its report submittals to the City.

4. Assessment of Minimum Performance Standards for SB 1383 Program Implementation
As described in Section 10.02 of the Agreement, in order for City to comply with SB 1383, (1) Diversion Programs required by the Agreement must be fully implemented and maintained throughout the Term, and (2) Contamination levels must be minimized in all streams of materials Collected by Contractor. Section 4 of this Attachment N includes the assessment methodologies used to determine if the minimum performance standards included in Section 10.02 have been achieved. Section 4.1. includes the methodology to assess the percentage of SB 1383 Diversion programs that have been fully implemented by Contractor as required by Section 10.02.A of the Agreement. Section 4.2. includes the methodology to assess the level of Contamination achieved by Contractor as required by Section 10.02.B of the Agreement.

4.1 Assessment of Percentage of SB 1383 Diversion Programs Fully Implemented as Required by Section 10.02.A
For purposes of the minimum level of program implementation standards described in Article 10 of the Agreement, Contractor is required to have fully implemented SB 1383- compliant Diversion programs at 95% or more of all Commercial and Multi-family Premises by June 30, 2026. Evaluation of the percentage of fully implemented SB1383- compliant Diversion Programs at said Premises shall be conducted by the City annually thereafter according to the same schedule. The City will evaluate Contractor’s performance to determine whether or not the minimum level of Diversion program implementation has been achieved during the time periods set forth in Article 10.02.A.1.

To evaluate Contractor’s performance, the City will review the Red/Green Tracking Spreadsheet and/or CRM System, time and work logs of the Sustainability Coordinator, all the Monthly, Quarterly, and Annual Reports, listed in Attachment K, submitted by Contractor up to and including the Monthly Report for June 2026. The City, in its sole discretion, may also conduct site visits at Customers’ Premises to determine whether Contractor has achieved the minimum required Diversion program implementation. The site surveys will determine whether the required SB 1383 program(s) is/are in place, and whether the Customer is fully participating in the program(s). In order for a Customer’s program to be found to be “fully implemented”, Contractor must have completed all steps for program implementation listed in Section 3.7 of Attachment B to the satisfaction of City. Data gathered at each site by the City may include:
• Capacity utilization (i.e. Bin/Cart percent full by volume) • Percentage, by volume, of Recyclable Materials and Food Scraps found in each Bin/Cart

ATTACHMENT N
Attachment N Page 33 of 50
• Percentage, by volume, of MSW found in the Single Stream Recyclables, Source-Separated Food Scraps, and/or Food Scrap and/or Yard Trimmings Bin/Cart(s)
• Percentage, by volume, of Divertible Food Scraps and of Recyclable Materials found in the MSW Bin/Cart (percentage of each material) • Serial numbers or bar code numbers on the Bins/Carts
• Date of site visit
• Photo number(s)
• Any other notable observations.

4.2 Assessment of Minimum Performance Standards for Contamination Levels Achieved by Contractor as Required by Section 10.02.B of the Agreement To determine whether Contractor has met the minimum performance standards for the time periods described in Article 10.02, the City will utilize the assessments described below.

TO BE USED

15 Reusable Aluminum Cups for Special Events
CR&R also proposes the purchase of Ball Aluminum
cups to be used at City events such as the Summer
Concert Series in Lake Forest or the Heritage
Festival in Laguna Hills. These 100% recyclable
cups serve to eliminate the use of plastic cups.

CR&R would supply up to 5,000 cups annually to
each City for use at events of each City’s choosing.

Each City’s logo or environmental message will be
printed on their respective cups. CR&R would then
provide collection receptacles for the cups and
coordinate the recycling of the cups following the
event. CR&R would also be able to work with vendors
at other City events to source the cups and then
coordinate the set up and servicing of collection
receptacles.

Street Sweeping
An additional capability CR&R offers the Cities of Lake Forest and Laguna Hills is street sweeping services. Since 1992, CR&R has offered street sweeping as one of our environmental services.

Over the past thirty-two years, we have seen our street sweeping operations grow exponentially as cities have experienced the benefit of having a “one stop shop” for solid waste and recycling collections and street sweeping
services. Our experienced team
is able to apply our familiarity with
each City’s streets and the unique
aspects of each City’s roadways
to seamlessly transition services
and further support each City’s
environmental goals, including
the protection of water and air
quality.

14 Olyns Cube Reverse Vending Machines
One way CR&R will partner with each City is
through the provision of two (2) Olyns Cubes
each for Lake Forest and Laguna Hills. These
reverse vending machines will provide an
easy-to-use, modern-looking, self-service
option for Lake Forest and Laguna Hills
residents and visitors to recycle CRV
containers. Potential locations could include
the Sports Park and Etnies Skate Park in Lake
Forest and the Community Center skate park
area in Laguna Hills.

The Olyns Cubes provides a touchless customer interaction, using an app to pay customers via Paypal. The app also calculates each customer’s impact by providing a customized sustainability dashboard. This will engage
residents with information on how
many containers they are
keeping out of landfills and the
ocean, and to track how much
CO2 they are keeping out of the
atmosphere.

The Olyns Cubes also feature a
65-inch video screen, which can
display customized Lake Forest
and Laguna Hills sustainability
messages in each respective
City, or promote City events,
services, or other programs.

charge to the residents. CR&R will
also provide two (2) annual dropoff events for HHW generated by single-family residential and multifamily customers. One (1) HHW drop-off event shall be held in
Lake Forest each year and one (1)
HHW event shall be held in
Laguna Hills each year. CR&R will
also provide unlimited sharps
diversion for residents via a
sharps mail back program.

CR&R proposes the continued
use of Clean Earth programs for
HHW collection and Stericycle for
the Sharps mail back program in
the Cities of Lake Forest and
Laguna Hills.

PROPOSAL FORM 31: HHW AND SHARPS COLLECTION

PROGRAM DETAILS

214
The following are details of the proposed HHW and Sharps collection programs:

PROGRAM OUTREACH AND EDUCATION
The HHW and Sharps programs will be highlighted in CR&R outreach and educational materials, on the CR&R website, and in partnership with the Cities. Customers will be informed on what materials are included in the HHW program, how to manage these wastes, and the dates and locations of events. Customers will also be informed regarding the process to request to participate in the Sharps mail-back program.

HAZARDOUS MATERIAL MANAGEMENT
CR&R utilizes Clean Earth for hazardous materials
management for one day collection events and material
collected and consolidated from door-side pickup
programs. Clean Earth offers a comprehensive array of
specialty waste treatment, disposal, and recycling solutions. Their highly experienced team are leaders in environmental compliance and innovative for household hazardous waste.

Clean Earth’s approach to servicing any HHW operation is to provide the highest quality of service for the County to achieve their goals. Their first priority is to ensure compliance with all applicable regulations and the second is to manage all materials using the highest available waste management hierarchy. While other vendors typically send the waste directly to incinerators and landfills, Clean Earth manifests the waste to their local TSDF where it is managed in the most sustainable, compliant method practicable. The primary focus of Clean Earth after source reduction is beneficial reuse and recycling, with a wide range of options designed to maximize value while protecting valuable resources.

Clean Earth works with CR&R to provide the most effective solutions for our waste disposal requirements while
remaining focused upon overall cost reduction. This
approach to HHW recognizes the hazardous characteristic and potential value of the waste collection and utilizes the best options to mitigate those hazards long term. Little to no waste goes to a landfill directly or after it’s burned as an alternate fuel source. Clean Earth is committed to continue to seek and implement the best

215
practices for HHW management. CR&R also participates in Paint Care with Clean Earth.

Approximately 80% of the material collected is reclaimed/recycled.

Provided below is a table of proposed waste management methods for commonly collected HHW materials.

Annual Adjustment for Change in City Regulatory Compliance Costs, Procurement Compliance Costs and Pavement Impact Costs
Attachment W Page 1 of 7

ADJUSTMENT FOR CHANGES IN CITY REGULATORY COMPLIANCE COSTS,

PROCUREMENT COMPLIANCE COSTS AND PAVEMENT IMPACT COSTS
Per Article 14, commencing July 1, 2026 the amount of the Regulatory Compliance Cost, SB 1383 Procurement Compliance Cost, and Pavement Impact Costs shall be adjusted by actual increases or decreases in these costs. The methodologies below demonstrate how these costs will be adjusted.

A. ADJUSTMENT FOR CHANGE IN REGULATORY COMPLIANCE COST (RCC) –

APPLIES ONLY WHEN RCC INCREASES OR DECREASES
Step 1: Calculate the delta between the old Regulatory Compliance Costs (RCC) and the new Regulatory Compliance Costs. For annual adjustments to the RCC, determine the annual change in the fee. Per Contract Section 14.07, the RCC may be increased or decreased based on the actual costs incurred by the City to comply with state regulations. The City will provide the adjusted Regulatory Compliance Cost to Contractor on or before March 1 of each year, beginning on March 1, 2026. The adjusted RCC will reflect actual costs incurred by the City to comply with state regulations regarding solid waste and recycling.

The City, at its sole discretion, may adjust the RCC at any point during the year. In the event that the City adjusts the RCC outside of the annual rate adjustment process (i.e. on January 1 instead of July 1), the same calculation process as described below will apply.

Example assuming an increase in the RCC:

Old RCC = $500,000 per year
New RCC = $550,000 per year
Change in RCC = $50,000 per year
Example assuming a decrease in the RCC:

Old RCC = $500,000 per year
New RCC = $450,000 per year
Change in RCC = ($50,000) per year

ATTACHMENT W
Annual Adjustment for Change in City Regulatory Compliance Costs, Procurement Compliance Costs and Pavement Impact Costs
Attachment W Page 2 of 7
Step 2: Divide the change in the RCC fee by the old Regulatory Compliance Cost.

Example assuming an increase in the RCC:

Old Regulatory Compliance Cost = $500,000 per year
Annual change in the RCC = $50,000
Divide the $50,000 per year change in the RCC by
the current Regulatory Compliance Cost of $500,000
to determine the needed rate adjustment (10% in this
example)
Example assuming a decrease in the RCC:

Old Regulatory Compliance Cost = $500,000 per year
Annual change in the RCC = ($50,000)
Divide the ($50,000) per year change in the RCC by
the current Regulatory Compliance Cost of $500,000
to determine the needed rate adjustment (-10% in this
example)
Step 3: Apply the rate adjustment (increase or decrease) to the Regulatory Compliance Cost component of the rates.

Example assuming an increase in rates:

If the residential Regulatory Cost Compliance component, which was provided with the Contractor’s submittal of
Proposal Form 29 which became Attachment D to the
Contract, is $1/month for a residential recycling cart, multiply $1 by 1.1 to calculate the adjusted Regulatory Cost
Component of the residential recycling cart ($1.10/month).

If the Regulatory Compliance Cost component of a
commercial 3-yard MSW bin 1x/week is $10 per month,
multiply $10 by 1.1 to calculate the adjusted Regulatory Compliance Cost component ($11/month) of the commercial 3-yard MSW bin serviced 1x/week.

ATTACHMENT W
Annual Adjustment for Change in City Regulatory Compliance Costs, Procurement Compliance Costs and Pavement Impact Costs
Attachment W Page 3 of 7
Example assuming a decrease in rates:

If the Regulatory Compliance Cost component of the
residential rate is $1/month, multiply $1 by 0.9 to calculate the adjusted Regulatory Compliance Cost Component of the rate ($0.90/month).

If the Regulatory Compliance Cost component of a
commercial 3-yard MSW bin 1x/week is $10 per month,
multiply $10 by 0.9 to calculate the adjusted Regulatory Compliance Cost component of the rate ($9.00/month).

Attachment W Page 4 of 7
B. ADJUSTMENT FOR CHANGE IN SB 1383 PROCUREMENT COMPLIANCE COST (PCC) – APPLIES ONLY WHEN PCC INCREASES OR DECREASES
Step 1: Calculate the delta between the old SB 1383 Procurement Compliance Costs (PCC) and the new SB 1383 Procurement Compliance Costs. For annual adjustments to the PCC, determine the annual change in the fee.

Per Contract Section 14.08, the PCC may be increased or decreased based on the actual costs incurred by the City to comply with SB 1383 procurement requirements. The City will provide the adjusted Procurement Compliance Cost on or before March 1 of each year, beginning on March 1, 2026. The adjusted PCC will reflect actual costs incurred by the City to comply with SB 1383 procurement requirements.

The City, in its sole discretion, may adjust the PCC at any point during the year. In the event that the City adjusts the PCC outside of the annual rate adjustment process (i.e. on January 1 instead of July 1), the same calculation process as described below will apply.

Example assuming an increase in the PCC:

Old PCC = $500,000 per year
New PCC = $550,000 per year
Change in PCC = $50,000 per year
Example assuming a decrease in the PCC:

Old PCC = $500,000 per year
New PCC = $450,000 per year
Change in PCC = ($50,000) per year
Step 2: Divide the change in the PCC fee by the old Procurement Compliance Cost.

Example assuming an increase in the PCC:

Old Procurement Compliance Cost = $500,000 per
year
Annual change in the PCC = $50,000
Divide the $50,000 per year change in the PCC by the
current Procurement Compliance Cost of $500,000 to
determine the needed rate adjustment (10% in this
example)
