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, 202 5 – December 31, 202 7 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 C ontractor 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 Item: 14

2b. 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 Item: 14
859
ATTACHMENT N
Characterizations of Divertible Materials and MSW
and Periodic Onsite Field Cart Contamination Audit Protocols
Attachment N Page 27 of 44
• Serial numbers or bar code numbers on the Bins/Carts
• 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 photo- documented 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 incl ude a link to the geocoded data with its report submittals to the City.

Section 4. City’s Process for Evaluation of Contractor’s Attainment of Minimum Level of Program Implementation
Standards
For purposes of the minimum level of program implementation standards described in Article 10 of the Agreement, Contractor will be required to have SB 1383 -compliant Diversion programs at 95% or more of all Commercial and Multi-family Premises by June 30, 202 6 and annually thereafter. 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, th e 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 202 6. The City, at 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
• 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
• Date of site visit
• Photo number(s)
• Any other notable observations.

* Note: The numbers in the sample calculations in this Attachment N are for example only and do not reflect the actual values of the sampling results.
Step 1. Enter weight (in lbs.) of Divertible materials from characterization #1 into Cell A1 and characterization #2 into Cell B1.
Step 2. Enter weight (in lbs.) of Contaminants from characterization #1 into Cell A2 and characterization #2 into Cell B2.
Step 3. Sum sample weight (in lbs.) of Divertible Materials (A1) and Contaminants (A2) from characterization #1 into Cell A3 and sum Divertible Materials (B1) and Contaminants (B2) from characterization #2 in Cell B3.
Step 4. Calculate Contamination rate in row 4 for each characterization by dividing the Contamination weight (A2 characterization #1 and B2 for characterization #2) by the Item: 14
875
ATTACHMENT N
Characterizations of Divertible Materials and MSW

Attachment N Page 43 of 44
total sample weight (A3 for characterization #1 and B3 for characterization #2). Enter calculated contamination rate into cell A4 for characterization #1 and B4 for characterization #2.
Step 5. Sum weight of Divertible Materials, Contaminants, and Total Sample Weight from characterizations #1 and #2 in column C. Add cell A1 plus cell B1 to calculate total weight of Divertible Materials from both characterizations and enter sum into cell C1.
Add cell A2 plus cell B2 to calculate total weight of Contaminants from both characterizations and enter sum into cell C2. Add cell A3 plus cell B3 to calculate Total Sample Weight from both characterizations and enter sum into cell C3.
Step 6. Calculate Total Composite Annual Characterization Percentage in cell C4.
Dividing the combined Contamination weight for characterization #1 and #2 in cell C2 by the total combined sample weights for characterization #1 and #2 in cell C3. Enter composite Contamination percentage into cell C4 for characterization #1 and #2. In the example provided above, no additional supplemental characterizations are needed as the Contractor’s Contamination percentage of 23% did not exceed the Phase 1 contamination cap of 25%. This calculation shall be done for all three streams (MSW, Recyclable Materials and Co-Collected Food Scraps/Yard Trimmings).
Scenario 2: Phase 1 Contamination Cap Achieved Using Supplemental Characterizations
Table N6.3: Sample calculations if Phase 1 contamination cap is NOT met but a supplemental characterization (Column D) is conducted and incorporated into the averages and the cap is achieved
* Note: The numbers in the sample calculations in this Attachment N are for example only and do not reflect the actual values of the sampling results.
Step 1. Repeat steps 1 - 6 above to calculate Total Composite Annual Contamination percentage in cell C4. If this amount exceeds the Contamination cap (in this case 25%), the Contractor may conduct one (1) supplemental characterization and enter the results into column D to calculate an updated Contamination percentage.

Step 2. Enter weight (in lbs.) of Divertible materials from supplemental characterization into cell D1 and enter weight (in lbs.) of Contaminants from supplemental characterization into cell D2.
Step 3. Sum sample weight (in lbs.) of Divertible Materials (D1) and Contaminants (D2) from supplemental characterization into Cell D3.
Step 4. Calculate Contamination percentage in cell D4 for supplemental characterization by dividing the Contamination weight (cell D2) by the total sample weight (cell D3). Enter calculated contamination percentage into cell D4 for supplemental characterization.
Step 5. Add weight of composite Divertible Materials from cell C1 to Divertible Materials from Supplemental Characterization in cell D1 and enter sum into cell E1. Add weight of composite Contaminants from cell C2 to Contaminants from Supplemental Characterization in cell D2 and enter sum into cell E2. Add weight of total sample from cell C3 to Total Sample Weight from Supplemental Characterization in cell D3 and enter sum into cell E3.
Step 6. Calculate Total Composite Annual Characterization with Supplemental Characterization in cell E4 by dividing the combined Contamination weight for all characterizations in cell E2 by the total combined sample weights for all characterizations in cell E3. Enter composite Contamination percentage into cell E4 for all characterizations. In the example provided above, with the supplemental characterization, the Contractor’s composite Contamination percentage of 23% did not exceed the Phase 1 Contamination cap of 25%. This calculation shall be done for all three streams to determine the Contamination percentage achieved for each stream (MSW, Recyclable Materials and Co-Collected Food Scraps/Yard Trimmings).

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
Item: 14
887
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.

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).

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 Cost s. 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)

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)
Step 3: Apply the rate adjustment (increase or decrease) to the Procurement Compliance Cost component of the rates.
Example assuming an increase in rates:
If the Procurement Compliance Cost 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 Procurement Compliance Cost component of the
residential recycling cart ($1.10/month).
If the Procurement 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 Procurement Compliance Cost component ($11/month) of the commercial 3-yard MSW bin serviced 1x/week.
Example assuming a decrease in rates:
If the Procurement Compliance Cost component of the
residential rate is $1/month, multiply $1 by 0.9 to calculate the adjusted Procurement Compliance Cost component of
the rate ($0.90/month).
If the Procurement 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 Procurement Compliance Cost component of the rate ($9.00/month).

C. ADJUSTMENT FOR CHANGE IN PAVEMENT IMPACT COST (PIC) – (APPLIES
ONLY WHEN PIC INCREASES OR DECREASES)
Step 1: Calculate the delta between the old Pavement Impact Costs (PIC) and the new Pavement Impact Costs. For annual adjustments to the PIC, determine the annual change in the costs. Per Contract Section 14.06, the PIC may be increased or decreased based on the actual costs of the damages inflicted on City streets by the Contractor’s collection vehicles. The City will provide the adjusted PIC to the Contractor on or before March 1 of each year, beginning on March 1, 2026. The adjusted PIC will reflect actual costs incurred by the City to repair damage inflicted by the Contractor’s collection vehicles on City streets.
The City, in its sole discretion, may adjust the PIC at any point during the year. In the event that the City adjusts the PIC 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 PIC:
Old PIC = $500,000 per year
New PIC = $550,000 per year
Change in PIC = $50,000 per year
Example assuming a decrease in the PIC:
Old PIC = $500,000 per year
New PIC = $450,000 per year
Change in PIC = ($50,000) per year
Step 2: Divide the change in the PIC fee by the old Pavement Impact Costs.
Example assuming an increase in the PIC:
Old Pavement Impact Costs = $500,000 per year
Annual change in the PIC = $50,000

Allocation Methodology for Multi-Jurisdictional Residential Routes and Cross-Sector Cart Collection
Attachment CC Page 1 of 11
1. Allocation Methodology for Cross-Jurisdictional Residential Collection Route
For cross-jurisdictional Residential collection routes where homes are serviced in both Cities, the Contractor shall use the following allocation methodology to accurately allocate tonnage between the two cities. The allocation shall factor in City-specific densities of various material streams, as described below.
1. Calculate the average density for the following residential streams using city- specific data:
a. Lake Forest specific Residential curbside MSW lbs. per cubic yard b. Laguna Hills specific Residential curbside MSW lbs. per cubic yard c. Lake Forest specific Residential curbside Recycling lbs. per cubic yard d. Laguna Hills specific Residential curbside Recycling lbs. per cubic yard e. Lake Forest specific Residential curbside co-collected food scraps and yard trimmings lbs. per cubic yard
f. Laguna Hills specific Residential curbside co-collected food scraps and yard trimmings Recycling lbs. per cubic yard
2. To calculate the average densities for the streams shown above, prior to initiating operations, the Contractor shall complete the following analysis:
a. Calculate total monthly tonnage collected for each of the streams noted above as items 1a-1h using the data provided in the background section and appendices to the RFP or more recent data provided by the incumbent hauler.
b. Calculate number of monthly cubic yards for each of the streams noted above as items 1a-1h using the data provided in the background section and appendices to the RFP or more recent data provided by the incumbent hauler.
c. Divide the total weight collected for each of the streams noted above as items 1a-1h by the number of cubic yards collected to determine the average density on service. Sample densities are included in Table 1 below.
3. In addition to calculating the average density on service using tonnage and service data as noted above, Contractor shall also conduct a field study to weigh residential containers that are set out for service using a platform scale.
Contractor shall collect the net weight (i.e. gross weight minus container weight) for 25 containers that are over 70% full from each of the categories shown above (1a-1h) for containers on the residential routes that are targeted for cross- jurisdictional collection to identify the field weight of containers.
Item: 14
912
ATTACHMENT CC
Allocation Methodology for Multi-Jurisdictional Residential Routes and Cross-Sector Cart Collection
Attachment CC Page 2 of 11
a. The field weight shall be divided by the volume of the container to determine the field density of the material.
i. If the 90-gal container weighed 50 lbs., the density would be calculated as follows:
1. 50 lbs./ (90 gal/ 202 gal per cubic yard) = 111 lbs. per cubic yard
4. The average of the two density values (calculated density on service identified in Step 2 above and the field-identified density described in Step 3 above) shall be used to determine the density factor for the residential sector. The average density values for each City and each stream are included as bolded values in Table 1 below.

MSW 95.12 100 97.56 72.51 75 73.76

Co-collected Yard Trimmings and Food
Scraps 32.52 35 33.76 55.64 50 52.82
5. The density factor for each City for each of the streams noted above as items 1a- 1h shall be calculated by dividing the average density for each City calculated in Step 3 by the two cities’ average densities added together. The density factors calculated for the three residential streams are included in Table 2 below. An example density calculation is included below.
a. Density factor for LF MSW (using data in the table above):
i. LF average MSW density (97.56 lbs./CY) / LF average MSW density (97.56 lbs./CY) plus LH average MSW density (73.76 lbs./CY) = 57%
1. LF MSW Density Factor = 57%
b. Density factor for LH MSW (using data in the table above):
i. LH average MSW density (73.76 lbs./CY) / LH average MSW density (73.76 lbs./CY) plus LF average MSW density (97.56 lbs./CY) = 43%
1. LH MSW Density Factor = 43%

6. The percentage of volume collected on the route between each City shall be calculated as a percentage. For example, if the cross-jurisdictional collection route collected 267 cubic yards from Lake Forest households and 178 cubic yards from Laguna Hills households, the percentage volume allocation between the route would be 60% (267/(267+178)) Lake Forest volume and 40% (178/(178+267)) Laguna Hills volume. Complete the volume percentage allocation calculation for each cross-jurisdictional route as shown in Table 3.

7. Average the Density Factor calculated in Step 5 with the volume allocation percentage calculated in step 6 to determine the weighted-average allocation factor for each City and each stream, as shown in Table 4. a. For Lake Forest, the residential MSW weighted-average allocation factor is 58% ((57% MSW Density Factor + 60% MSW Volume Allocation) / 2 ) b. For Laguna Hills, the residential MSW weighted-average allocation factor is 42% ((43% MSW Density Factor + 40% MSW Volume Allocation) / 2 )

2. Allocation Methodology for Cross-Jurisdictional Commercial/Multi-family Cart Collection Route
For cross-jurisdictional Commercial/Multi-family Cart collection routes where businesses are serviced using Carts in both Cities, the Contractor shall use the following allocation methodology to accurately allocate tonnage between the two cities and collection sectors (commercial and multi -family). The allocat ion shall factor in City-specific and sector-specific densities of various material streams, as desc ribed below. Note:
Allocations will not be needed for multi-jurisdictional or cross-sector materials collected in Bins since there will be on -board scales used to measure the net weight of all Bins collected.
1. Calculate the average density for the following Commercial and Multi-family Cart streams using city-specific data:
a. Lake Forest specific Commercial MSW Cart lbs. per cubic yard b. Laguna Hills specific Commercial MSW Cart lbs. per cubic yard c. Lake Forest specific Multi-family MSW Cart lbs. per cubic yard d. Laguna Hills specific Multi-family MSW Cart lbs. per cubic yard e. Lake Forest specific Commercial Recycling Cart lbs. per cubic yard f. Laguna Hills specific Commercial Recycling Cart lbs. per cubic yard g. Lake Forest specific Multi-family Recycling Cart lbs. per cubic yard h. Laguna Hills specific Multi-family Recycling Cart lbs. per cubic yard i. Lake Forest specific Commercial Food Scrap Cart lbs. per cubic yard j. Laguna Hills specific Commercial Food Scrap Cart lbs. per cubic yard k. Lake Forest specific Multi-family Food Scrap Cart lbs. per cubic yard l. Laguna Hills specific Multi-family Food Scrap Cart lbs. per cubic yard m. Lake Forest specific Commercial Yard Trimming Cart lbs. per cubic yard n. Laguna Hills specific Commercial Yard Trimming Cart lbs. per cubic yard o. Lake Forest specific Multi-family Yard Trimming Cart lbs. per cubic yard p. Laguna Hills specific Multi-family Yard Trimming Cart lbs. per cubic yard q. Lake Forest specific Commercial Co-collected Yard Trimming and Food Scrap Cart lbs. per cubic yard
r. Laguna Hills specific Commercial Co-collected Yard Trimming and Food Scrap Cart lbs. per cubic yard
s. Lake Forest specific Multi-family Co-collected Yard Trimming and Food Scrap Cart lbs. per cubic yard
t. Laguna Hills specific Multi-family Co-collected Yard Trimming and Food Scrap Cart lbs. per cubic yard
2. To calculate the average densities shown above, prior to initiating operations, the Contractor shall complete the following analysis:
a. Calculate total monthly tonnage collected for each of the streams noted above as items 1a-1t using the data provided in the background section Item: 14
916
ATTACHMENT CC
Allocation Methodology for Multi-Jurisdictional Residential Routes and Cross-Sector Cart Collection
Attachment CC Page 6 of 11
and appendices to the RFP or more recent data provided by the incumbent hauler.
b. Calculate number of monthly cubic yards for each of the streams noted above as items 1a-1t using the data provided in the background section and appendices to the RFP or more recent data provided by the incumbent hauler.
c. Divide the total weight collected for each of the streams noted above as items 1a-1t by the number of cubic yards collected to determine the average weight density.
3. In addition to calculating the average density using tonnage and service data as noted above, Contractor shall also conduct a field study to weigh Commercial and Multi-family containers that are set out for service using a platform scale.
Contractor shall collect the net weight (i.e. gross weight minus container weight) for 5-10 containers that are over 70% full from each of the categories shown above (1a-1t) for containers on routes that are targeted for cross-jurisdictional collection to identify the field weight of containers.
a. The field weight shall be divided by the volume of the container to determine the field density of the material.
i. If the 90-gal MSW container weighed 50 lbs., the density would be calculated as follows:
1. 50 lbs. / (90 gal/ 202 gal per cubic yard) = 111 lbs. per cubic yard
4. The average of the two density values (calculated density identified in Step 2 above and the field-identified density identified in Step 3 above) shall be used to determine the density factor for the Commercial and Multi-family Cart sector. The average density values for each City and each stream are included as bolded values in Table 6 below.

5. The density factor for each City for each of the streams noted above as items 1a- 1t shall be calculated by dividing the average density for each City calculated in Step 3 by the two cities’ average densities added together. The density factors calculated for the commercial and multi-family streams are included on the right column in Table 6 above. An example density calculation is included below.
a. Density factor for LF Commercial Cart MSW (using data in the table above):
i. LF average Commercial MSW density (95 lbs./CY) / (LF average MSW density (95 lbs./CY) plus LH average MSW density (85 lbs./CY)) = 53%
1. LF Commercial MSW Cart Density Factor = 53%
b. Density factor for LH Commercial Cart MSW (using data in the table above):
i. LH average Commercial Cart MSW density (85 lbs./CY) / LH average Commercial Cart MSW density (85 lbs./CY) plus LF average Commercial MSW Cart density (95 lbs./CY) = 47%
1. LH Commercial MSW Cart Density Factor = 47%

6. The percentage of Cart volume collected on the route between each City shall be calculated as a percentage. For example, if the cross-jurisdictional Commercial MSW Cart collection route collected 20 cubic yards from Lake Forest Cart accounts and 30 cubic yards from Laguna Hills cart accounts, the percentage volume allocation between the route would be 40% (20/(20+30)) Lake Forest volume and 60% (30/(30+20)) Laguna Hills volume. Complete the volume percentage allocation calculation for each cross-jurisdictional Cart route as shown in Columns B and C in Table 7.

7. Calculate the sector allocation for Cart service between Commercial and Multi- family volumes for each City and Stream.
a. For example, if there were 10 cubic yards of MSW cart service in LF and 8 cubic yards were from Commercial Cart Customers and 2 cubic yards were from Multi-family Cart customers, the sector allocation would be 80% Commercial and 20% Multi-family. These sector volume values are shown in columns E and F of Table 7 above.
8. Average the Density Factor calculated in Step 5 with the volume allocation percentage calculated in step 6 to determine the weighted-average allocation factor for each City and each stream, as shown in Table 8. a. For Lake Forest, the Commercial Cart MSW weighted-average allocation factor is 46% ((53% Commercial MSW Cart Density Factor + 40% Commercial MSW Cart Volume Allocation) / 2 )
b. For Laguna Hills, the Commercial MSW Cart weighted-average allocation factor is 54% ((47% MSW Density Factor + 60% MSW Volume Allocation) / 2 )

9. Multiply the total tons collected on the cross-jurisdictional route by the sector allocation calculated in Step 7 by the weighted average allocation percentage calculated in Step 8 to determine the amount of tons of each commodity collected on cross-jurisdictional and cross-sector routes in each City as shown in Table 9 below. Note: Cart-specific tonnage collected on each route may be calculated by subtracting the total load weight for the route minus the aggregate weights of materials collected in bins measured using on-board scales. a. If 4 tons of Cart-collected MSW were collected on a cross-jurisdictional route that also mixed sectors (Commercial and Multi-family), the following calculations would apply:
i. To calculate LF Commercial MSW Cart tonnage, multiply the 4 tons of Cart-collected materials for the entire route by the 80% Commercial sector allocation and by the 46% weighted average allocation percentage to obtain 1.49 tons.
ii. To calculate LF Multi-family MSW Cart tonnage, multiply the 4 tons of Cart-collected materials for the entire route by the 20% Multi-family sector allocation and by the 48% weighted average allocation percentage to obtain 0.39 tons.
iii. To calculate LH Commercial MSW Cart tonnage, multiply the 4 tons of Cart-collected materials for the entire route by the 20% Commercial sector allocation and by the 54% weighted average allocation percentage to obtain 0.43 tons.

iv. To calculate LH Multi-family MSW Cart tonnage, multiply the 4 tons of Cart-collected materials for the entire route by the 80% Multi- family sector allocation and by the 52% weighted average allocation percentage to obtain 1.66 tons.
v. Due to the application of several percentages to the Cart-collected tonnage value, summing the four allocated weights may not add up to exactly the original Cart-collected tonnage amount. Contractor may round to the nearest tenth of a ton to achieve mass conservation between the four allocations. Any rounding or calculations to achieve mass balance must be noted in the Contractors’ allocation report to the City.
