September 25, 2006 - A 1T ACHMENT 1 7A Page 6 Value of Participating in the SBWMA's Contractor Selection Process Currently the 12 SBWMA member agencies (including Redwood City) have franchise agreements with Allied Waste Services and work cooperatively through the SBWMA to manage Allied's performance. implement program changes, and negotiate contract amendments. All member agencies are obligated to deliver their solid waste, recycfables, and organic materials to the Shoreway facility that is operated by Allied through an agreement with the SBWMA. The SBWMA's Contractor Selection Process anticipates that one collection company will be selected to serve all 12 member agencies, although each member agency will enter into a separate franchise agreement with the selected collection company. The benefits of participating in the SBWMA-wide Contractor Selection Process include: . Maintaining the economies of scale achieved by having one company provide all collection services in the SBWMA service area; . Combining resources to manage the collection contracts; . Relying on the SBWMA to manage the Contractor Selection Process rather than hiring City staff to do so. Schedule for Contractor Selection Process The planning phase (Phase 1) of the Contractor Selection Process will be completed by the end ofthis year. As part ofthis phase, the PAF and PAC committee recommendations will be presented to the SBWMA Board for consideration on August 24 and the Board will form its recommendations in late September. Following the Board's adoption, the Board's recommendations will be presented to each of the member agencies in October I November, and December of this year. If member agencies are supportive ofthe SBWMA Board's plans, they will be asked to pass a resolution acknowledging their commitment to participate in the Contractor Selection Process and approve a code of conduct. Phase 2, which involves the preparation of the request for proposals (RFP) for collection and Shoreway facility operations and draft agreements for the services, will result in issuance of an RFP in August 2007. Proposals will be received in late 2007 and evaluated in early 2008. Contractor selection and negotiations are to be completed by July 1, 2009. This schedule provides the selected contractor( s) 18 months to implement services that will commence January 1, 2011. Throughout this five and one-half year process, a minimum of seven member agency milestone events have been planned thatwill keep the City Council updated on the process and seek input and approval.
