" Response: Each of the two Rl'"'Ps~ one for collection services and another for facility operations, included key milestones t.o allow fOf I\1e.mber Agency input a.nd action. All governing boards of Member Agencies will be asked to give consideration to their individual franchise agreements for collection, and the agreement for the operation of Shoreway Environmental Center over the coming months, as prescribed in the RFP process. To date, ten of the Member Agencies, representing 85.60/0 of the Solid W'a.t;te tonnage in the SBWMA service area, have alrea.dy considered and approved the Selection' of Norcal (110W known as Recology) as their future franchised hauler for solid waste, .re.cyclables and organics. These votes of the Member Agencies have led to the preparation and negotiation of lengthy Franchise Agreements with Norca.l to be. considered individually by each Membe.r Agency over the next few months, a process that began with these 10 Agencies in lotarch 2009. The Town of Atherton also gave direction to its City 'tvfanage:r on July 15) 2009 to proceed with infonnal negotiations with Norcal. AJPA I'vlembet Agency is free to contract with any company it wants for collection. All documentation l'eL"1ted to the RFP process, including vendor responses are available to Me.mbe.r Agencies for additional evaluation. The SB~1vIA will cooperate with. any 11elnber Agency that wishes to reevaluat.e responses to the RFP p.rocess. TIle SBWMA Board at its July 23, 2009 Board considered approval of an Agreement with South Bay Recycling (SBR) to ope-rate the Shoreway facility. As approved, it will be presented to the governing bodies of the 1\1embe.r Agencies for review and approval pu.rsuant to Section 7.1.1.of the.JPA Agreement. The. SBR Operators agreement needs 2/3 of the J\fember Agencies to approve it. Action: The recommendation will effectively be implemented during fmulization of the Rf:P process.
