REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the City Manager March 26, 2018 SUBJECT Amended and Restated Franchise Agreement between the City of Redwood City and Recology San Mateo County for Recyclable Materials, Organic Materials and Solid Waste Collection Services from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2035 RECOMMENDATION Adopt a Resolution approving and authorizing the City Manager to execute an Amended and Restated Franchise Agreement between the City of Redwood City and Recology San Mateo County for recyclable materials, organic materials and solid waste collection services from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2035, and find that the project is exempt from the requirements of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 and 15061(b)(3) BACKGROUND The City of Redwood City is a member of the South Bayside Waste Management Authority (SBWMA) Joint Powers Authority. SBWMA assists twelve Member Agencies to comply with the requirements and responsibilities associated with collection and recycling of solid waste and manages the Shoreway Environmental Center in San Carlos, which serves as the SBWMA’s transfer station and recyclable material recovery facility. In 2007, the SBWMA worked with its Member Agencies to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for collection of solid waste, recycling and organic materials. Through that process, Recology San Mateo County (Recology) was selected as the collection contractor and entered into Franchise Agreements with each Member Agency. Recology initiated its solid waste and recycling collection services on January 1, 2011 and the franchise agreement expires on December 31, 2020. Section 3.03 of the Franchise Agreement between the City of Redwood City and Recology allows for an extension of the term of the agreement and calls upon the parties to begin negotiations well in advance of the expiration of the Franchise Agreement, stating: “During calendar year 2017, the Parties shall meet and confer on the possible extension of the Term.” This provision allows sufficient time for an open RFP process if an extension is not successfully negotiated. 6.2.B. - Page 1
