Renewal of Solid Waste Collection Franchise with Great Western
Reclamation, Inc.
RECOMMENDATION:
Request the Tustin City Council, at their regular meeting of December 19, 1988,
to ratify the AGREEMENT FOR COLLECTION AND TRANSPORTATION OF SOLID WASTE REFUSE
PRODUCED OR ACCUMULATED IN THE CITY OF TUSTIN; and, have first reading for
Ordinance Number 10t4- amending Chapter 3, Sections 4311 et. seq. of the Tustin
City Code relative to solid waste collection.
BACKGROUND:
The existing exclusive franchise for solid waste collection with Great Western
Reclamation, Inc. is due to expire. Several months ago, the City Finance
Director and the City Attorney's office began negotiations to renew the
exclusive, franchise. The attached Agreement is the result of these negotiation
and is deemed to be-equitable to both parties (Great Western Reclamation, Inc.
and the City) and in the best interest of the citizens of the City of Tustin.
During the term of the existing agreement with Great Western Reclamation, Inc.,
the citizens of Tustin have consistently received regular and efficient refuse
collection at a very reasonable rate when compared to other Orange County
cities. Based on a beneficial rate structure to the community for both
residential and commercial refuse collection, past performance by Great
Western, the type of equipment used/maintenance of said equipment and the
City's ability to exercise collection control and the Company's response to
citizen concerns, the City Attorney's office determined negotiation for an
exclusive franchise was the most feasible method for obtaining a refuse
collection service for Tustin.
The amen~tments to Chapter 3, Sections 4311 et. seq. of the Tustin City Code
bring the City's refuse collection standards more in line with industry
standards for solid waste collection, address recent legislation in this field
and enhance administrative controls over this service.
