7.2 Report on Request for Proposals (RFP) for Integrated Solid Waste Management
Services. (C2500.M.l)
Discussion - Public Works Department, Senior Administrative Analyst, Greg Warren gave the
staff report, stating that the current contract with Waste Management, Inc. is set to expire on
May 31, 2009.
Mayor pro tern Dumitru asked about the option of separating the commercial waste hauling
from the residential. He asked if this option was built into the RFP.
Mr. Laith Ezzet, representing the consulting firm of HF&F, stated that separating the services
is an option, adding that 30 of the Orange County cities have one exclusive contract for both
services. He stated that a few of the cities have an open system, allowing for residents to
choose from multiple haulers, but that this results in double monitoring, efficiency issues and
confusion.
Responding to questions from Council, Mr. Ezzet stated:
· The proposed contract includes incentives for innovation, such as increases to the State's
diversion levels;
. Options exist to look at separating the commercial from residential hauling;
· Single-family homes are considered residential and businesses are considered commercial;
· Multi-family dwellings have fallen into both categories and have recycling issues;
Page 8
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
August 26, 2008
7. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS (Continued)
. Explained proposed monitoring of diversion rates;
. The evaluation of the bidders could include experience, history of diversion in other cities
and references;
. Option exists to establish criteria while awaiting responses to RFP.
Council discussed the state mandated diversion rates and the suggestion to possibly set a higher
goal and give credit for innovation.
Councilmember Murphy expressed support for establishing the evaluation criteria up front
before the proposals are sent out; and stated the need for minimum standards for diversion
levels.
Mayor pro tern Dumitru asked for more time to consider separating the commercial from the
residential hauling option; and for a more clear explanation of how the evaluation criteria will
be weighted.
Mayor Cavecche spoke on the evaluation process and the weighting of various factors - noting
that cost is just one factor. She will be looking for innovativeness; asked about the evaluation
committee and how the committee will know how to band the proposals; and asked about the
requirement of maintaining a communication log if any of the companies contacted the
Council.
Councilmember Smith suggested it was important for the applicants to know ahead of time
how they will be evaluated and the weight of each area; and also requested information on the
make up of the evaluation committee, suggesting the committee members have no past, present
or future connections to the contract.
Mr. Laith Ezzet, representing the consulting firm of HF &F, suggested that the RFP could be
released allowing for bidders to calculate their numbers while the council determines the
evaluation criteria. He stated concern for waiting too long to gather information which could
push the RFP process past the current contract's expiration date.
Councilmember Murphy indicated that as long as the areas of evaluation are defined, he did
not have a problem not having an exact weighting system, but suggested the consultant return
with examples of scoring alternatives.
Councilmember Bilodeau noted the RFP currently requires vehicles to conform to current Air
Quality Management District rules; suggesting that could include a requirement for natural gas
or CNG vehicles.

maintained.
MOTION - Murphy
SECOND - Cavecche
AYES - Smith, Murphy, Cavecche, Dumitru, Bilodeau
Moved to continue to September 9, 2008, to include information on the pros and cons of
