6.3.B. - Page 2 • SECTION 3.03 EXTENSION OF TERM During calendar year 2017, the Parties shall meet and confer on the possible extension of the Term. The contract extension decision period was set for a defined period to allow sufficient time if needed to conduct a competitive procurement process if no contract extension was granted. Given the size and complexity of the service area it was determined that a three-year period (i.e., 2018-2020) is needed to complete a competitive procurement process and transition to a new service provider if appropriate. ANALYSIS On January 28, 2016, the SBWMA Board of Directors approved Resolution No. 2016-09 approving the Final Plan and Recommended Process for Supporting Member Agencies with Negotiating a Potential Franchise Agreement Extension with Recology (Exhibit A - Plan). This Plan prescribes that each SBWMA member agency that chooses to participate in the SBWMA-led negotiations with Recology to extend the existing Franchise Agreement must provide notice of its commitment to participate by April or May 2016. The Plan anticipates the negotiations with Recology to be concluded by the end of 2016 and the SBWMA Board of Directors will then consider approving the amended Franchise Agreement(s) at its January 2017 or February 2017 Board meeting for submittal to the member agencies to consider. It is important to note that the Franchise Agreement amendments negotiated by the SBWMA are not binding on the City of Redwood City, nor does the City of Redwood City commitment to participate in the SBWMA-led negotiations preclude in any way the City of Redwood City from negotiating directly with Recology or pursuing its own competitive request for proposals procurement. If approved by the City Council, the City Manager will join an AdHoc Committee to review the Franchise Agreement Amendments with technical support from Public Works Services staff. ALTERNATIVES Council may choose not to approve the resolution. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact to the City. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW This request is categorically exempt under CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section, section 15378, because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or foreseeable physical change in the environment.
