September 25, 2006 - A IT ACHMENT 1 7A Page 8 . Food waste and vard waste collection service if the customer requests the service and pays an additional fee (same as current arrangements). [no cost impact] City Service - The City will continue to receive collection services at City facilities and at various public right-of-way locations at no charge; costs to be covered through rates (same as current arrangements). [no increased costs] Public Education - Customers to receive contractor-provided public education information regarding collection programs and operations matters, and SBWMA- provided public education information and newsletters with a broad message focusing on waste prevention, reuse, recycling, environmental purchasing preferences, hazardous waste, electronic waste, and universal waste management (expansion of current arrangements). [0 to +0.15%] Billing Services - The City will have the right to continue billing customers rather than relying on contractor-provided billing services. Important Shoreway Facility Considerations The SBWMA Board will consider the PAF recommendations to improve the Shoreway facility by: (1) installing single-stream processing equipment in the recycling building, which may require expansion ofthe recycling building (costs included above with single stream); and (2) expanding the transfer station to accommodate more diversion materials [+0.34% to +0.41 %]. These proposed modifications to the facility may raise land use considerations and permitting needs for the City because a portion of the Shoreway facility is in Redwood City limits. Important Process and Contract Considerations The Executive Summary of Recommendations by PAF and PAC Committees (Attachment 1) includes recommendations for the Contractor Selection Process and future contract arrangements and contract terms. The following summarizes key process and contract considerations that the Board will consider in August and September. 1. City Commitment to the Process - If the Council agrees with Board recommendations for future programs, contract terms, and strategy for soliciting proposals and selecting contractors, the Council will be asked by the Board to adopt a resolution in late 2006 acknowledging its support and intention to participate in the Contractor Selection Process. Therefore, it is important for the Council to provide input now, before the SBWMA Board forms its recommendations. A proposed resolution is provided for your review as Attachment 2. No action on this resolution is being recommended at this time. 2. Elected Official Code of Conduct - A paramount objective of the SBWMA is to conduct the Contractor Selection Process with integrity and transparency. To support this objective, it is likely that the Board will concur with the PAC committee's recommendation that the SBWMA Board members, member agency elected officials, and proposers sign a code of conduct. The proposed member agency code of conduct (See Attachment 3) will provide guidance regarding disclosure of: (1) conflicts of interest; (2) contributions; and. (3) non-public meetings with potential proposers. LI
