REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the City Manager May 22, 2017 SUBJECT Recology Solid Waste Franchise Agreement Negotiation Update RECOMMENDATION Receive update regarding a potential Franchise Agreement Extension with Recology San Mateo County for solid waste, recyclable materials and organic materials collection services BACKGROUND The City of Redwood City is a member of the South Bayside Waste Management Authority (SBWMA) Joint Powers Authority. SBWMA owns and manages the Shoreway Road Disposal and Processing Center in San Carlos. In addition, SBWMA assists its twelve member agencies with collection and recycling efforts. The SBWMA had worked with its member agencies to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for both the collection contract and the transfer station and recyclable material recovery contract in 2006. Recology San Mateo County (Recology) was selected as the collection contractor and entered into a franchise agreement (FA) with each member agency. Recology initiated its solid waste and recycling collection services on January 1, 2011. The FA with Recology expires on December 31, 2020. ANALYSIS Section 3.03 of the FA allows for extension of the term of the agreement. It states: During calendar year 2017, the Parties shall meet and confer on the possible extension of the Term. Starting the discussions with Recology well in advance of the expiration of the FA allows sufficient time for an open Request for Proposals (RFP) process if an extension is not successfully negotiated this year. SBWMA staff has led the negotiations with Recology for the extension of the FA. If agreement is reached on an extension, each agency will adopt an updated and restated FA. Without an extension, it will be necessary to issue an RFP for the collection 7.A - Page 1
