REPORTS
AGENDA ITEM NO. D.3
DATE: January 23, 2024
TO: Public Works and Transportation Committee
FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected]
SUBJECT: Agreement 32400334 with J I Gandara Transport for Supplemental Waste Transfer Hauling Services for the Del Norte Regional Recycling and Transfer Station. (10 minutes)
RECOMMENDATION
The Public Works and Transportation Committee recommend that the City Council approve and authorize the Mayor to execute an Agreement with J I Gandara Transport for an amount not to exceed $5,000,000 for an initial one-year term, with an option to extend for two additional one-year terms; ending March 1, 2027, to provide supplemental waste transfer hauling services for the Del Norte Regional Recycling and Transfer Station.

BACKGROUND
Since the opening of the Del Norte Regional Recycling and Transfer Station in October of 1996, the Environmental Resources (ER) Division has operated with an internal transfer fleet and contracted with outside firms to provide supplemental waste transfer hauling services. Operational and fiscal analyses have demonstrated that augmenting ER’s transfer operation with on-call outside, supplemental haulers is the most efficient and cost-effective means of complying with State permit mandates. An internal transfer fleet offers ER the necessary control of staff and vehicles to ensure that Del Norte permit mandates are met. Throughout the year, there can be fluctuations in the waste stream, intermittent ER staff shortages and periodic limited availability of ER vehicles due to maintenance. Supplemental hauling contracts allow the City to prepare for these events and ensure that permit mandates are met. This balance has served the utility well and is consistent with industry standards.
Traditionally, ER transfers up to 195,000 tons per year and the supplemental waste transfer haulers transfer up to approximately 100,000 tons per year from the Del Norte Facility to local and regional contracted landfills and organics processors. The City of Oxnard contracts with Waste Management of California, Inc. for solid waste disposal to the Simi Valley Landfill. Additionally, the City of Oxnard contracts with Agromin Organics Recycling to receive and process organic (green waste) material.
DISCUSSION
On November 14, 2023, the City issued a Request for Bid (RFB) ER 24-34 to solicit bids from waste transfer haulers for supplemental transfer hauling services. The RFB was sent to 12 firms and was posted on the City’s 136
website and www.publicpurchase.com. By the December 11, 2023 deadline, the City received four (4) qualified proposals: J I Gandara Transport (Gandara Transport), Ecology Auto Parts, Inc., Eco Transport, LLC, and American Reclamation. Table 1 below reflects the transfer costs per ton provided by each bidder.

$18.00 $15.82 $18.00 $28.80
TOTAL $65.85 $66.08 $77.35 $136.54
While the City does not currently contract with the Toland Road Landfill or Chiquita Canyon Landfill for solid waste disposal, staff will be exploring this option as an emergency backup in the event of fires or other natural disasters causing Simi Valley Landfill to temporarily close. For this reason, vendors were asked to supply costs to deliver solid waste to the Toland Road Landfill and the Chiquita Canyon Landfill.
Among the four (4) bid proposals reviewed by the Environmental Resources Division Manager, Materials Recovery Facility Manager, and Chief of Collections, it was determined that Gandara Transport submitted the lowest, responsive bid. Thus, staff recommends awarding the contract for supplemental hauling services to Gandara Transport. Staff has confirmed that Gandara Transport meets all required City contractual provisions including possession of a City business tax certificate, insurance certificates and corporate filing with the California Secretary of State. Based upon the available information and research performed to date, staff 137
believes that Gandara Transport is capable of satisfactorily completing the services. Thus, staff recommends that the City Council award the Agreement for these services to Gandara Transport.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
This agenda item supports the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy. The purpose of the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy is to preserve and improve our roads, utilities, parks, trees, water supply and natural resources through effective planning, prioritization, and an equitable and efficient use of available funding.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total cost for this agreement with Gandara Transport, LLC for supplemental transfer hauling services shall not exceed $5,000,000 over a three-year period. The spending plan for the remainder of FY 2023-24 is $500,000 and funds are available in the City Council FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget from the Environmental Resources Fund (6313637-54400).

INSTRUCTION FOR SUBMITTING INSURANCE CERTIFICATES AND ENDORSEMENT FORMS
Certificates of Insurance
The sample accord form on the following page is provided to facilitate your preparation and submission of certificates of insurance. You may use this or any industry form that shows coverage as broad as that shown on the attached sample. Please note the certificate holder address must be as shown on the attached sample accord form with the contract number and insurance exh ibit identification information completed. Improperly addressed certificates may delay the contract start-up date because the City’s practice is to return unidentifiable insurance certificates to the insured for clarification as to the contract number.
Cancellation provisions must be endorsed to the policy. Modifying the certificate does not change coverage or obligate the carrier to provide notice of cancellation.
Endorsement Forms
Original endorsements are required for commercial general liability and business automobile liability insurance policies and must be attached to the applicable certificate of insurance. City preference is that you use the endorsement forms which are attached. Substitute forms will be accepted, however, as long as they include provisions comparable to the attached.
