Integrated Solid Waste Handling Services Procurement - Proposal Results and Selection of Contractor The City’s exclusive franchise agreement for comprehensive refuse services with Consolidated Disposal Services (dba Republic Services) is set to expire on July 31, 2023. At the September 13, 2022, City Council Meeting, the City Council awarded a contract for Solid Waste Consulting Services to R3 Consulting Group, Inc (R3) to perform an assessment of the City’s current solid waste programs and assist with the procurement of a new integrated solid waste handling agreement. Staff and R3 collaborated to create a Request for Proposals (RFP) document, create a draft Integrated Solid Waste Handling Agreement, and met with the City Council on November 8, 2022, for a solid waste procurement workshop. At the workshop, the Council provided feedback on the RFP process, timeline, and desired services and directed staff to proceed to issue the RFP for the City’s integrated solid waste handling agreement. The RFP document was released on November 17, 2022, and on January 26, 2023, the City received five (5) proposals. After completion of proposal evaluations and interviews, staff and R3 scored and ranked the proposers based on pre-established evaluation criteria.
Recommendation:
That the City Council take the following actions:
1. Find the proposed action is categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines in accordance with Section 15061(b)(3).
2. Select a contractor and direct City Manager or his designee to negotiate an exclusive agreement subject to approval by the City Council.
3. Provide direction on including street sweeping services within the franchise agreement procurement.
