<br /> 78 <br /> Value of Participating in the SBWMA's Contractor Selection Process Page 2 <br /> Currently the 12 SBWMA member agencies (including Redwood City) have franchise <br /> agreements with Allied Waste Services and work cooperatively through the SBWMA to <br /> manage Allied's performance, implement program changes, and negotiate contract <br /> amendments. All member agencies are obligated to deliver their solid waste, recyelables, <br /> and organic materials to the Shoreway facility that is operated by Allied through an <br /> agreement with the SBWMA. The SBWMA's Contractor Selection Process anticipates that <br /> one collection company will be selected to serve all 12 member agencies, although each <br /> member agency will enter into a separate franchise agreement with the selected collection <br /> company. The benefits of participating in the SBWMA-wide Contractor Selection Process <br /> include: <br /> . Maintaining the economies of scale achieved by having one company provide all <br /> collection services in the SBWMA service area; <br /> . Combining resources to manage the collection contracts; <br /> . Relying on the SBWMA to manage the Contractor Selection Process rather than <br /> hiring City staff to do so. <br /> Schedule for Contractor Selection Process <br /> The planning phase (Phase 1 ) of the Contractor Selection Process will be completed by the <br /> end of this year. As part of this phase, the PAF and PAC committee recommendations will <br /> be presented to the SBWMA Board for consideration on August 24 and the Board will form <br /> its recommendations in late September. Following the Board's adoption, the Board's <br /> recommendations will be presented to each of the member agencies in October, <br /> November, and December of this year. If member agencies are supportive of the SBWMA <br /> Board's plans, they will be asked to pass a resolution acknowledging their commitment to <br /> participate in the Contractor Selection Process and approve a code of conduct. <br /> Phase 2, which involves the preparation of the request for proposals (RFP) for collection <br /> and Shoreway facility operations and draft agreements for the services, will result in <br /> issuance of an RFP in August 2007. Proposals will be received in late 2007 and evaluated <br /> in early 2008. Contractor selection and negotiations are to be completed by July 1, 2009. <br /> This schedule provides the selected contractor(s) 18 months to implement services that will <br /> commence January 1, 2011. <br /> Throughout this five and one-half year process, a minimum of seven member agency <br /> milestone events have been planned that will keep the City Council updated on the process <br /> and seek input and approval. <br /> Important Program Choices <br /> The Executive Summary of PAF and PAC recommendations (Attachment 1) presents the <br /> proposed scope of the future collection and operations agreements. This section <br /> summarizes the key changes to the existing collection program that the Board will consider <br /> in August and September. A very rough estimate of the percentage increase or decrease <br /> in rates is reflected in [brackets] alongside each program choice. <br /> Residential <br /> .
