AGREEMENT FOR THE OPERATION OF THE SHOREWAY RECYCLING AND DISPOSAL CENTER THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of this 30th day of July 2009, by and between the SOUTH BAYSIDE WASTE MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY (the "Authority"), and SOUTH BAY RECYCLING, LLC, a California limited liability company (the "Contractor"). RECITALS 1. The State of California, through the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989, codified at Public Resources Code Section 40000, ef seq. (the "Act"), found and declared that the amount of solid waste generated in California, coupled with diminishing landfill space and potential adverse environmental impacts from landfill disposal, has created a need for state and local agencies to enact and implement an aggressive integrated waste management program. 2. The Act directs the California Integrated Waste Management Board and local agencies to promote recycling and to maximize the use of feasible source reduction, recycling and composting options in order to reduce the amount of solid waste that must be disposed in landfills. . 3. The Authority is a joint powers agency organized under the Joint Exercise of Powers Act by cities and other local government agencies in San Mateo County (the "Member Agencies"), each of which oversees the collection of solid waste and recyclable materials within its jurisdiction. 4. The Authority owns and oversees the operation of the Shoreway Recycling and Disposal Center in San Carlos ("Shoreway Center"). The recycling and materials recovery operations conducted at the Shoreway Center are an integral component of each of the Member Agencies' Source Reduction and Recycling Elements, which have in turn been incorporated into San Mateo County's Integrated Waste Management Plan. 5. The Member Agencies, acting in coordination with each other and the Authority, are planning to expand the recycling operations within each of their jurisdictions through a variety of measures, including the institution of "single stream" recycling, i.e., the collection of commingled recyclables in a single, wheeled container. 6. As a result of these new and expanded recycling programs within its Member Agencies, the Authority anticipates that the amount of recyclable materials, including organic materials, delivered to the Shoreway Center will increase. 7. In order to prepare for this anticipated increase in the amount of recyclable materials, and to improve the ability of the Shoreway Center to recover recyclable materials from solid waste delivered to it, the Authority is planning a substantial renovation and expansion of the facilities at the Shoreway Center. 8. One of the anticipated improvements is the installation of a new system designed specifically for sorting and recovering recyclable materials from single stream collection programs. The new system has been selected by the Contractor, is to be installed by the manufacturer-vendor within the Materials Recovery Facility at the Shoreway Center, and operated by the Contractor.
