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.Page

maintained.
MOTION - Murphy SECOND -
Cavecche AYES - Smith,
Murphy, Cavecche, Dumitru, Bilodeau Moved to continue
