Page | 7 SBWMA Recology Negotiations FAX Report 4/20/17 <br /> <br />2. Bulky Item Collection: Residential customers will continue to receive up to two bulky item <br />collection services annually without charge, within one week of request, however this service will <br />be capped at 150 collections system-wide per day (Recology currently makes approximately 120 <br />bulky item collections per day), and if the number of requests exceeds 150 per day, Recology will <br />roll the service date by one week. <br />3. Abandoned Waste Collection: Member Agencies will continue to receive abandoned bulky waste <br />collection services, but a cap of 30 pick-ups per day has been established. In the future, when the <br />average number reaches 25 daily events, the SBWMA and Recology will meet to add collection <br />resources and provide additional compensation to Recology, or take some other action to respond <br />to the increased demand. <br />4. Reporting: Recology’s reporting requirements have been adjusted to align data collection and <br />reporting with the collection and customer service goals. <br />3. BACKGROUND <br />SBWMA is in the seventh year of a ten-year Franchise Agreement for Collection Services for Garbage, <br />Recycling and Organic Materials with Recology. During this time, feedback provided by Member Agency <br />staff, SBWMA Board Members and community members surveyed, demonstrated that Recology has <br />consistently provided professional competency in the execution of their operations. As a result of their strong <br />performance, the SBWMA Board finalized a plan and recommended process for negotiations during Spring <br />2016. This section details the goals of the Recology negotiations and provides background and clarification <br />regarding the plan and recommended process followed. <br />3.1 Goals of the Collection Services Franchise Agreement Negotiations <br />Three goals were identified during the planning phases of the Recology negotiation process. These <br />goals were the primary focus of the FAX committee, and include: <br /> Develop an amended and restated Model Franchise Agreement to be presented to the SBWMA <br />Board of Directors at the April 27, 2017 meeting. The Model Franchise Agreement is to serve as a <br />template document for each member agency to further refine and approve. <br /> Obtain Recology’s Total Revenue Requirement to perform collection services in future rate <br />year 2021, as well as establishing an ongoing compensation adjustment methodology. Upon <br />SBWMA Board approval of these documents, each member agency is strongly encouraged to <br />immediately work with Recology to finalize the contract language, specific scope of services and the <br />pricing of any added or changed services for their respective agency by December 31, 2017. A RFP <br />process to solicit a new collection services provider will be initiated if at least eight Member Agencies <br />are not formally in contract with Recology by December 31, 2017. <br /> Obtain and include feedback from the SBWMA Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) at its April <br />13th meeting. <br />7.A - Page 17
