ANALYS 15 At the June 2007 Board meeting, the SBWMA Board approved the draft callection RFP and agreement and draft SRDC operations RFP and agreement to reflect some changes to the origina! care services and contract term recommendations approved by the Baard and member agencies in October 2006. These changes were notably driven by extensive input received from potential praposers. The changes primarily relate to making the R�'P documents simpler in an effort #o ensure that they are more reasonabie and manageable for proposers to respond to and eventuaqy provide the services re�uested. A Eis:ing of these pro�ased changes was sent tc Coun�il as �n "Information Only" report on May 22, 2007. While simpler, the draft caiiection I�t=P stilf remains highfy compiex given ine iarge size of the S6Wt�lA sei-vice area and magnitude of the rai{out af new serv�ces, customizafian of services for rnember agencies, and patential for some member agencies to opt out of the process. Member agencies have until the fall of 20fl8 to opt out of this process. Summary of Changes to the Col/ec�ion RFP The key changes to the original SBWMA recommendations for collection services relate to the follawing areas: 1. Expanding the residential care recycling services to include used oil collection, battery and cell phone coflection, and food scraps (to be commingled with plant materiafs); these programs were originally listed as optional programs. 2, Expanding_ the commercial core recycling seryices to include multi-family and commercial technical assistance; these programs were originaliy listed as optional programs. 3. Deveioping separate and distinct scopes of service to meet unique member agency needs. For example, the Town of Hillsborough has a unique scope that all potential proposers wi11 be required to address. 4. Removing anci{lary services (listed under optional residentiai and/or commercial collection programs) such as on-call household hazardous waste, universal waste, and sharps from the collection RFP so they can be addressed through a separate SBWMA procurement. Member agencies can still decide whether or nat#o add these services along with the aftendant costs to their franchise agreement. 5. Addressing significant staff and proposer concerns regarding the improbability of a successful rollout of new programs and services in one day, an January 1, 2011, at the expiration of the existing contract. Staff has incfuded direction in the caliection RFP to solicit proposals for a phased roflout starting July 1, 2010 ("alternative start date") or a phased roElout after January 1, 2011. 6. Simplifying the cantractor compensation methodology fram a hybrid cost-plus/fixed� price compensation methodology to pursue a more typical industry standard fixed- base contract under which certain costs are then subsequently adjusted each year based upon changes in corresponding indices (e.g., a consumer price index}. Moreover, adjustments are also made for changes in dispasal costs. Very few 4
