ATT ACHMENT K <br />CONTRACTOR’S COMPENSATION AND RATE SETTING PROCESS <br />REV: 03-16-18 MI <br />ATTY/AGR/2018.054/RECOLOGY OF SAN MATEO ATTACHMENT K <br />Page 16 of 24 <br />Table 2: Service Level Adjustment Methodology <br />for Rate Years Twelve to Twenty-Five (2022 - 2035) <br />{Note: The table below replaces the current Table 2 in its entirety} <br />Accounts (Single-Family Dwelling accounts for Solid Waste Collection) <br />• Adjustment shall be based on the annual percent change in the rolling three-year average number of <br />Solid Waste accounts in the SBWMA Service Area, where the annual percent change shall be <br />calculated using the following formula: (((Average of Solid Waste accounts as of April 30 of the then- <br />current Rate Year and the two most-recently completed Rate Years) - (Average of Solid Waste <br />accounts as of April 30 of the three most-recently completed Rate Years)) / (Average of Solid Waste <br />accounts as of April 30 of the three most-recently completed Rate Years)). The annual percent <br />change calculated using the above formula is referred to herein as the “average service level change”. <br />For example, if the Contractor is preparing its Application in Rate Year Eleven (2021) for Contractor’s <br />Compensation to be effective for Rate Year Twelve (2022), the average service level change shall be <br />calculated as follows: (((Average of Solid Waste accounts as of April 30, 2021 + as of April 30, 2020 + <br />as of April 30, 2019) - (Average of the Solid Waste accounts as of April 30, 2020 + as of April 30, 2019 <br />+ as of April 30, 2018)) / (Average of the Solid Waste accounts as of April 30, 2020 + as of April 30, <br />2019 + as of April 30, 2018)). The value of the applicable cost item for Rate Year Eleven (2021) would <br />be multiplied by (1 + the average service level change) to determine the value of such cost item for <br />Rate Year Twelve (2022), assuming the cost item is to be adjusted by 100% of the average service <br />level change. If Table 1 states that the cost item is to be adjusted by 65% of the average service level <br />change (as is the case for Allocated Indirect Costs), then the value of the applicable cost item for Rate <br />Year Eleven (2021) would be multiplied by (1 + (0.65 x (the average service level change))) to <br />determine the value of such cost item for Rate Year Twelve (2022). <br />Lifts for Carts and Bins (Multi-Family and Commercial, and Agency Facilities Bin and Cart lifts for Solid <br />Waste, Recyclable Materials, and Organic Materials Collection) <br />• Same method as described above, but using the average service level change in the number of lifts <br />during a 4 week period in April, rather than the number of accounts as of April 30. <br />• Calculations shall be separately performed for Solid Waste, Recyclable Materials, and Organic <br />Materials Collection lifts, separately for Multi-Family and Commercial lifts and Agency Facilities lifts. <br />Pulls for Drop Boxes (Multi-Family and Commercial, and Agency Facilities Drop Box and Compactor <br />pulls for Solid Waste, Recyclable Materials, and Organic Materials Collection) <br />• Same method as described above, but using the average service level change in the number of pulls <br />during the 12 month period ending April 30, rather than the number of accounts as of April 30. <br />• Calculations shall be combined for Solid Waste, Recyclable Materials, and Organic Materials <br />Collection pulls, but shall be performed separately for Multi-Family and Commercial pulls and Agency <br />Facilities pulls. <br />Note: Service level adjustments may be positive or negative values, which shall result in increases or decreases <br />when costs are adjusted pursuant to Section 4. <br />6.2.B. - Page 220
