William Huston - City Manager Public Works Department - Engineering Division 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 P~ODUCED OR ACCUMULATED ..... ~__~ .... CITY._0~_TUSTIN; and, have first reading for Ordinance Number 1014.~ 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 amendments 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. Monda Buckley /~ Bob Ledendecker Administrative Assistant U Director of Public Works FROM: SUBJECT: .. HONORABLE NAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL' · CITY ATTORNEY SOLID WASTE COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL CONTRACT The City's contract for solid waste collection and disposal expired in July and staff and representatives of Great Western have been negotiating a renewal agreement for a number of months. We have now reached a form of agreement acceptable to staff and Great Western.' A copy of the proposed agreement is enclosed. The term of the contract was the subject of considerable discussion between Great Western and City staff. The provisions regarding term are contained in Section 2, which 'reads as follows: "2.

Provided, however, that after July 1, 1993 City may terminate this agreement upon one (1) year's prior written notice to Contractor following a noticed public hearing and a finding by the City Council in the reasonable exercise of its discretion that: (1) the service provided by Contractor has fallen below acceptable standards, and (2) Co.ntractor has continued to fail to achieve and maintain reasonable, acceptable standards after a forty-five (45) days written notice by City to Contractor specifying the shortcomings in Contractor's performance. This right of termination is in addition to any other rights of City upon a failure of Contractor to perform its obligations under this agreement." Page Two This provision should be carefully reviewed by the Council to be sure the Counc-il finds it acceptable. It is acceptable to Great Western and the City' staff believes it is within the parameters acceptable to the Council. We have also reviewed, revised and updated the Tustin City Code regarding solid waste collection and disposal and enclose a copy of a proposed ordinance amending the Tustin City Code.
