RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />The Collection Services RFP Selection Committee is recommending selection of Norcal Waste <br />Systems of San Mateo County (Norcal) as the Collection Services contractor for both the <br />North and South Districts. <br /> <br />The SBWMA received four (4) responsive proposals from companies capable and qualified to <br />provide the scope of services specified in the Collection Services request for proposals (RFP) <br />issued on Novem ber 1, 2007. The proposers are: <br /> <br />. Allied Waste Services of San Mateo County (Allied) <br /> <br />. Bayside Environmental Services & Transfer (BEST) <br /> <br />. Norcal Waste Systems of San Mateo County (Norcal) <br /> <br />. Republic Services of California II, LLC (Republic) <br /> <br />Based on review of the proposals submitted, reference checks, technical interviews, site visits, <br />and follow-up questions and answers, the Selection Committee selected Norcal Waste <br />Systems of San Mateo County as the recommended Collection Services contractor for both <br />the North and South Districts. The Selection Committee believes that Norcal is the best choice <br />and provides the best value in comparison to the other proposers for these primary reasons: <br /> <br />. The entirety of Norcal's responses (Le., original proposal, written answers to technical <br />and cost specific questions, and technical interview performance) were the most <br />thorough and complete. <br /> <br />. Norcal offers a combination of experience, technical ability, commitment to diversion <br />and high service delivery, and pricing that sets it apart from the other three proposers. <br /> <br />. Norcal was awarded the most points for its cost proposal due to the strength of its cost <br />proposal in both competitiveness and reasonableness. While the costs proposed were <br />marginally higher than the lowest cost proposal, the supporting explanation and rationale <br />provided for these costs was the most thorough, complete and reasonable of all four <br />proposals. <br /> <br />. The scope of services proposed by Norcal provides the highest comfort level of the four <br />proposers regarding the company's ability to ensure a smooth transition, outstanding-' <br />service delivery, accurate reporting, and consistently high diversion rates. <br /> <br />SBWMA Collection Services RFP <br />Selection Committee Report: <br />Evaluation and Scoring of Proposals <br /> <br />Page 3 of 31 <br />August 21. 2008 <br />
