Issue Detail: The City of Sacramento (City) currently has three agreements for organic material diversion services that are set to expire or have options to cancel between June 30, 2026, and June 30, 2027.
File ID: 2025-01458 9/16/2025
To comply with State Senate Bill (SB) 1383, which went into effect on January 1, 2022, the City participated in a joint regional Request for Proposals (RFP) in 2019 for organic material diversion services in conjunction with the County of Sacramento and City of Folsom. SB 1383 marked a significant change in the way organic materials are collected and diverted. The main objective of SB 1383 is to reduce the amount of organic waste, such as edible food waste and yard waste, being deposited in landfills by requiring waste material collection agencies to implement new mandates for residents and businesses to separate food waste from garbage and establishing food recovery programs. The City has been required to implement major changes to the collection, diversion, and recovery of both residential and commercial organic waste. As part of this revised approach to the diversion of organics, the City awarded three short-term agreements with the County of Yolo, California Wood Recycling, Inc. dba Agromin (Agromin), and the County of Sacramento. The City implemented an organic waste recycling program for approximately 133,000 residential customers and began providing weekly collection of food waste in addition to existing yard waste collection starting on July 1, 2022.
With the execution of short-term organic waste processing agreements and implementation of an organic waste recycling program, a joint regional Request for Revised Proposals (RFRP) was released in January 2022 to find a long-term approach for the region’s organic waste. In May 2022, six submittals were received, evaluated and ranked, and the County of Yolo, Agromin, and Recology, utilizing the County of Sacramento’s North Area Recovery Station, were identified as the top-ranked proposers.
The County of Yolo was selected as one of the vendors to provide long-term processing and diversion services to the City. The County of Yolo will receive up to 15 percent of the City’s organic material. It will be hauled by City collection vehicles to the Yolo County Central Landfill, where it will be composted on-site and processed into compost, mulch, and other soil amendments.
Agromin was also selected as a vendor to provide long-term processing and diversion services to the City. Agromin will receive 60-65 percent of the City’s organic material. It will be hauled by City collection vehicles to Agromin’s operation Elder Creek Transfer Station located in Sacramento. The organic material will be processed and transferred to a variety of composting facilities where it will be turned into compost, mulch, and other soil amendments, or into biogas.
The County of Sacramento (County) was also selected as a vendor to provide long-term processing and diversion services to the City. The County will receive up to 20 percent of the City’s organic material at the North Area Recovery Station (NARS) facility, located in the City and owned and operated by the County. The County is executing agreements with multiple RFRP proposers, including Recology and the County of Yolo. The City’s material will be tipped at NARS then transferred to the vendors’ facilities for processing into compost, mulch, or other soil amendments.
Awarding these contracts allows the City to leverage the benefits of having multiple facilities
File ID: 2025-01458 9/16/2025
throughout the City’s service area instead of transferring all organic material to one facility. This reduces the amount of time spent off-route driving material to a transfer station or landfill which reduces labor costs, the amount of fuel used, and operations and maintenance costs. This approach will reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution while contributing to the City’s Climate Action and Sustainability initiatives. This approach also provides the City flexibility to redirect solid waste trucks to a different facility should one temporarily close or reduce capacity for maintenance or other reasons.
Policy Considerations: The recommendations in this report are in accordance with provisions of the City Code Chapter 3.56 and Administrative Policy 4101 for nonprofessional services, which requires additional posting time for agreements greater than $1 million. The Sacramento City Code Section
4.04.020 and Council Rules of Procedure (Chapter 7, Section E.2.d) mandate that unless waived by a two-thirds vote of the City Council, all labor agreements and all agreements greater than $1,000,000 shall be made available to the public at least ten (10) days prior to council action. This item was published for 10-day review on September 3, 2025, in compliance with the City Code.
Awarding these agreements will ensure the City meets the State’s mandate to divert food waste per SB 1383, and to divert from the landfill a minimum of 50 percent per capita disposal.
Economic Impacts: None.
Environmental Considerations: California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): In accordance with sections 15061(b)(3) and 15308 of the CEQA Guidelines, the activity is exempt from the CEQA pursuant to the common sense exemption and as an action by a regulatory agency for the protection of the environment. The agreements in this report, in response to actions established by State Senate Bill (SB) 1383, for organic material diversion services is an action taken by regulatory agencies, as authorized by state or local ordinance, to assure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the environment where the regulatory process involves procedures for protection of the environment.
Sustainability: According to a study by CalRecycle, Californians throw away nearly six million tons of food scraps each year making up 15-20 percent of all landfilled material. Diverting food waste from the waste stream reduces the release of methane emissions in the landfill and instead creates nutrient-rich soil amendments. With the implementation of food waste collection in July 2022, the City saw a 19 percent increase in organics tonnage collected and a 14 percent decrease in garbage tonnage collected from June to September 2024 compared to the same period in 2021.
Currently, the City’s organic waste is taken to three facilities where it is processed into compost, mulch, or other soil amendments. A portion, which is comprised of food waste, is separated and turned into biogas using anaerobic digestion. Compost has numerous environmental benefits, including water conservation, improved soil health, and carbon sequestration. SB 1383 has compost
File ID: 2025-01458 9/16/2025
purchasing requirements for municipalities and the City is required to comply. These agreements allow the City to procure compost and other soil amendments from the County of Yolo and Agromin at a reduced rate. These products can be applied throughout the City at parks, schools, City grounds, community gardens, and other sites. Additionally, the City offers a free compost giveaway program available to City residents. Residents may order compost through the City’s website for pickup at no charge or have it delivered to their home for a fee. These options allow City residents to share the results of their recycling efforts, acknowledge their participation in the program, and allow the City to comply with the end-product purchasing requirements of SB 1383.
Commission/Committee Action: None.
Rationale for Recommendation: The City’s current organic material diversion services agreements are set to expire or have options to cancel between June 30, 2026, and June 30, 2027. Awarding these agreements for organic material diversion services allows the City to divert the organic waste collected from residents and comply with State regulations and current State landfill diversion mandates. It also secures a long-term approach for the City’s collection and diversion of organic material and will allow staff to focus on long-term options for the other two commodities collected by the City, garbage and recycling. The current agreements for garbage and recycling expire in 2032.
In accordance with City Code Chapter 3.56, the Department of Public Works, Recycling and Solid Waste Division participated in a regional RFRP with the County of Sacramento and the City of Folsom for Organic Material Diversion Services. The County issued the RRFP as the lead agency.
After conducting a comprehensive review process, the City of Sacramento has selected the County of Yolo, Agromin, and the County of Sacramento to provide the services to the City.
Financial Considerations: The selected vendors proposed to divert the City’s organic material at a lower cost, taking into account off-route costs, than other scenarios analyzed by the RRFP Evaluation Committee. The tonnage commitments to each vendor were determined based on the available facility capacity, the tonnage of the other jurisdictions participating in the RFRP, and the proximity of the facility to the City’s service areas. By participating in a regional procurement, the three jurisdictions were able to negotiate better pricing from larger tonnage commitments opposed to pricing for the City’s organic tonnage separately. Sufficient funding exists in the Fiscal Year 2025/26 Department of Public Works, Recycling and Solid Waste Division Operating Budget (Solid Waste Fund, Fund 6007) to execute these agreements. Funding for future years is subject to availability of funding in the adopted budget of the applicable fiscal year.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): The minimum LBE participation requirement was waived by the Director of Public Works on December 28, 2018. At the time, staff determined the waiver was in the City’s best interest as a search conducted by City staff revealed that an insufficient number of vendors with the necessary experience were able to meet LBE requirements, which would have limited competition and may have had an impact on pricing. The three jurisdictions participating in the
File ID: 2025-01458 9/16/2025
regional RFP and subsequent RFRP attempted to align their individual requirements and eliminate special considerations so that respondents could submit pricing that applied to all three of the jurisdictions and not have to submit separate prices for each municipality.
Background: Beginning on January 1, 2022, the City was required by new State regulations to provide food waste recycling collection service to residents. SB 1383 was signed into law in 2016 establishing methane emissions reduction targets in a statewide effort to reduce short-lived climate pollutants in various sectors of California’s economy. Per the California Air Resources Board, methane emissions resulting from the decomposition of organic waste in landfills are a significant source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions contributing to global climate change. SB 1383 established targets to achieve a 50 percent reduction in the level of statewide disposal of organic waste from the 2014 level by 2020 and a 75 percent reduction by 2025. There are also mandatory programmatic elements in SB 1383 which include a requirement that the City divert food waste from landfills and collect food waste for recycling from all residential accounts.
Starting July 1, 2022, residents were required to place food waste inside their green organic waste container. Acceptable organic material includes green waste (landscape and pruning trimmings), food waste (fruit and vegetable peels, eggshells, meat/poultry, dairy products, grain products, etc.), compostable food-soiled paper (coffee filters, food-soiled napkins and paper towels, compostable bags etc.), and non-hazardous lumber and wood. Residents who were previously exempt from green waste collection received a designated food waste only collection container to participate in the program.
A joint regional RFRP was released in January 2022 to secure long-term diversion services for the region’s organic waste. An Evaluation Committee of six members with representation from each jurisdiction was established to evaluate the proposals and determine the most feasible solutions for the region and individual jurisdictions. HDR, Inc. was retained to assist in providing technical and cost analysis and expertise during the evaluation.
In May 2022, six proposers submitted a response to the RFRP for long-term organic material diversion services. The evaluation process began with completing a technical analysis for each proposal that examined and ranked factors including, but not limited to: the technology proposed; the proven, reliable nature of proposed technology and end-product marketability; available capacity; regulatory framework; project timeline; financial capabilities; and overall feasibility. After completing a technical analysis of each revised proposal, a pricing and financial analysis was performed.
Proposers were scored based on tipping and processing fees and transportation costs by each jurisdiction to deliver material to the proposers’ facilities, if applicable. Finally, an overall compatibility analysis was performed to determine which proposal(s) best addressed the region and individual jurisdiction’s vision and needs. All six proposers were invited and given the opportunity to present before the Evaluation Committee and key members of the three jurisdictions’ operations. The County of Yolo, Agromin, and the County of Sacramento were determined to be the top-ranked proposers
File ID: 2025-01458 9/16/2025
and the best options to provide the services to the City. Awarding these agreements ensures the City has a long-term outlet to divert organic material generated by City residents and complies with State mandates to divert food waste per SB 1383.

AMENDATORY ENDORSEMENT - PRIMARY/NON-CONTRIBUTORY
It is understood and agreed that Condition 7. OTHER COVERAGE of the Memorandum to which it is attached, is deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:
7. OTHER COVERAGE
If collectible insurance with an insurer, or collectible group coverage through another joint powers authority, interlocal cooperative agreement, self-insurance or other public entity group coverage is available to the covered party covering a loss also covered hereunder (whether on a primary, excess or contingent basis), the coverage hereunder shall be: (a) in excess of, and shall not contribute with, such insurance; and (b) shall contribute only with any excess group coverage available through another joint powers authority according to a pro-rata, time on the risk basis. However, this clause does not apply with respect to excess insurance purchased specifically to be in excess of this Memorandum, or to insurance or reinsurance which is intended to provide the remainder of the limit of liability stated in the Declarations of this Memorandum when the coverage afforded under this Memorandum provides less than 100 percent of the limit set forth in the Declarations.
However, if the covered party has entered into a written agreement, prior to any loss event, in which it is agreed that this coverage shall be primary and/or non-contributory with respect to an additional covered party as specified in Endorsement U-1 of this Memorandum, then this coverage shall respond as primary and/or non-contributory, but shall be limited to the lesser of the limits stated on the Certificate of Coverage or the minimum limits required by the written agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, if coverage for a claim or suit is available under this Memorandum and a memorandum of coverage issued in connection with the PRISM’s Medical Malpractice Program, this Memorandum shall afford primary coverage only where the gravamen of the claim or suit involves liability covered hereunder. EIA staff will preliminarily assess the gravamen of the claim or suit and refer it to the committee responsible for the coverage believed to be applicable under this paragraph.
Where that committee disputes PRISM’s assessment of the gravamen of the claim or suit and rejects primary coverage, PRISM will thereafter refer the claim or suit to the committee responsible for the other applicable coverage. If that committee also rejects the primary coverage responsibility, the Executive Committee will determine which of PRISM’s coverages is primary under this paragraph.
If the Member disputes the acceptance of primary coverage by a committee of PRISM's responsible for the coverage, the Member may appeal that decision to the Executive Committee. Appeal must be requested within 60 days of the coverage acceptance by PRISM.

If the Member is not satisfied with the outcome of the Executive Committee appeal or the determination by the Executive Committee as to which of PRISM's coverages is primary where no committee agreed to accept primary responsibility, the Member may invoke Section (d) and (e) of Article 31 of PRISM’s Joint Powers Agreement and proceed to arbitration and, if necessary, litigation. For purposes of this paragraph, the Member must request to invoke Article 31 dispute resolution process within 60 days of the Executive Committee’s determination as to which of PRISM’s coverages is primary.
Where a memorandum of coverage issued in connection with PRISM’s Medical Malpractice Program is determined to afford primary coverage pursuant to this section, the exhaustion of PRISM’s limit of liability under the Medical Malpractice Program will satisfy the covered party’s self-insured retention under this Memorandum.
Coverage for the additional covered party under this endorsement is limited to the written contract or agreement as specified on the Certificate of Coverage and Endorsement U -1 of this Memorandum.
It is further agreed that nothing herein shall act to increase PRISM's limit of liability.

Exhibit E – Page 1
EXHIBIT E COMPENSATION, CONTAMINATION, AND DEFINITIONS A. General Contract tipping fees and CPI increases, for the following materials are set for in Attachment 1 to Exhibit B: Organic Waste (Green Waste and Food Waste) – composting or anaerobic digestion Green Waste Only - composting only B. Sorting Procedure and Contamination Methodology 1. The Physical Contamination level of a grossly contaminated load shall be the Physical Contamination by volume based on Contractor’s visual inspection of the tipped load. 2. Contractor shall conduct a visual inspection of all tipped loads and shall identify loads that consist of gross amounts of Physical Contamination. 3. If the grossly contaminated load is deemed too contaminated to sort, as determined by the Contractor, or if the truck has a “combined load” with organic material and non-organic material (i.e. organics and garbage, or organics and recycling), it will be classified as a rejected load. 4. Contractor shall notify the City of the grossly contaminated load by email within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt of a load. The notification shall include multiple photos including the vehicle number and the date, time, and other evidence that demonstrates the gross level of Physical Contamination. 5. The City must agree with the Contractor that the load is grossly contaminated and should be rejected based on the photo evidence provided to be charged the rejected load fee. If the City does not agree with the Contractor that the load is grossly contaminated, the City shall not be charged the rejected load fee. 6. The City will have the option to retrieve the rejected load from the facility within four (4) hours of receiving notification, or the entire load will be sent to disposal, and will be charged the rejected load Price per Ton of the current tip fee plus $65.00 per ton and will not be counted toward the annual minimum tonnage commitment. Tonnage is calculated based on the total weight of the material in the inbound truck. If the City removes the contaminated part of the “combined load,” then the current tip fee rate would apply to the remaining organics fraction of the material from the load, and the truck ticket would be adjusted to reduce the weight of the outbound City truck carrying the contamination, from the original truck ticket with the weight of the “combined load.” If Contractor reloads a City truck, a flat fee of $100.00 will be charged for time and labor. 7. In the event of persistent Physical Contamination, the parties shall meet and confer to explore ways to address the problem. 8. City reserves the right to perform unannounced inspections of Contractor’s receiving facility operation, review Contractor’s recordkeeping, and audit Contractor’s procedure for identifying loads that contain gross amounts of Physically Contamination. 9. Contractor shall invoice City each month the Price per Ton plus the rejected load price Per Ton of materials being rejected.

EXHIBIT F BUY-BACK PROGRAM Buy-Back Program Agromin partners with the jurisdictions it serves to collaborate and create closed-loop solutions, whereby the jurisdiction utilizes compost and other organic recycled products manufactured from the jurisdiction’s organic waste materials. The application of compost in local landscapes and agricultural land helps to build adequate soil organic matter, increase carbon sequestration, reduce water usage and reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions. These municipal Buy-Back Programs can also be beneficial for reducing contamination in the organic waste stream from curbside generators through education. When municipalities purchase a portion of the compost that is manufactured from organic waste materials in their areas, compost customers (who also contribute to the organic waste materials needed to make the compost) will experience the use of clean compost first-hand. With compost being processed within local regions, residents and businesses within the jurisdiction will be provided with opportunities to close the loop by not only adhering to the protocols for organic waste recycling, but also through buying and using compost produced from the organic waste stream generated by their community. a.
