FROM: DOUGLAS S. STACK, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER
SUBJECT: AWARD CONTRACT FOR SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING SERVICES
SUMMARY
The current contract with CR&R Incorporated (CR&R) for both residential and commercial solid
waste services will expire on March 31, 2019. Pursuant to the City's Purchasing Policy staff
prepared a Request for Proposals (RFP) for new solid waste services. The City received
proposals from CR&R Incorporated and Waste Management Collection and Recycling, Inc.
(Waste Management). The proposals were reviewed by the Ad Hoc RFP Evaluation Committee
and representative panels from each firm were interviewed by the Committee and City staff
members.
RECOMMENDATION
The Ad Hoc RFP Evaluation Committee recommends that the City Council:
1. Award the contract to CR&R Incorporated; and
2. Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the contract on behalf of the City with any
non -substantive changes approved by the City Manager or City Attorney.
FISCAL IMPACT
The contract includes a Regulatory Compliance Fee that is to be collected from CR&R annually.
The fee will be used to pay for the City's costs of complying with the requirements of state laws
(described below). The fee has been established at $210,000 during the first year of the contract
based upon a build-up of estimated compliance costs, and will be adjusted annually based upon
the City's actual and projected costs. A Solid Waste Fund (Fund 171) was created to track
revenue and expenditures associated with the Regulatory Compliance Fee. CR&R will also be
required to reimburse the City up to $300,000 for the City's actual costs associated with
developing the RFP, administering the RFP process, and evaluating proposals. The
reimbursement will be deposited into the General Fund (Fund 100) to offset the cost of staff,
consultant services, and City Attorney services.
Staff will return to the City Council for the setting of rates for the new contract in early 2019.

CORRELATION TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN
This item contributes to the fulfillment of the City's Strategic Plan Goal C, Financial Strength,
specifically addressing Strategy 1, by outsourcing services to the private sector in a competitive
way to obtain the lowest possible rates for the community.
BACKGROUND
An Ad Hoc Committee consisting of Councilmember Clark and Councilmember Bernstein was
established to guide development of the RFP and to evaluate the proposals received. Staff and
consultants provided technical support to the Ad Hoc Committee and the City Attorney provided
legal guidance throughout the development of the RFP and during evaluation of the proposals.
The Ad Hoc Committee met monthly with staff and consultants for a period of eight (8) months to
develop the RFP. The development of the RFP was guided foremost by changes in State law
pertaining to solid waste management and the City's service needs, which are outlined below.
State Mandates
In 1989, the State passed Assembly Bill 939 (AB 939), which requires cities to reduce waste by
50% from landfills. In 2008, the State passed Senate Bill 1016 (SB 1016) which modified the AB
939 calculations to include annual disposal amounts instead of calculated diversion rates. In
order to determine compliance with AB 939, SB 1016 now focuses on the number of programs
that a City implements instead of relying solely on calculated disposal to determine compliance.
Currently, the City has a relatively high number of implemented programs and is meeting the
required AB 939 diversion rate, as modified by SB 1016. However, the State is planning to
discontinue some of the activities that the City currently uses and will require the City to implement
more programs.
In October 2011, Governor Brown signed into law Assembly Bill 341 (AB 341) requiring
businesses that currently have four cubic yards or more of weekly garbage service, and all multi-
family complexes with five or more units, to subscribe to recycling services. AB 341 also adopted
a policy goal that includes a 75% statewide waste diversion rate by 2020. Currently
approximately 69% of commercial accounts and 58% of multi -family accounts are compliant.
Assembly Bill 1594 (AB 1594) was signed into law on September 28, 2014. The bill eliminates
the use of green material as alternative daily cover at landfills. AB 1594 removes the definition
of green waste as a beneficial use at the landfill and defines it as regular solid waste, thus
counting against the City'sdiversion calculations. As a result, this will eliminate the diversion
credit Tustin currently receives for the use of approximately 7,000 tons of green waste used to
cover the trash in landfills annually. This regulation takes effect on January 1, 2020.
The Mandatory Organics Recycling Law (AB 1826) was also signed into law on September 28,
2014 and requires that businesses arrange for recycling services for the following types of organic
waste: food waste, green waste, landscape and pruning waste, nonhazardous wood waste, and
food -soiled paper. AB 1826 requires multifamily complexes to arrange for recycling services for
the same material with the exception of food waste and food -soiled paper. Most organic waste
Contract for Solid Waste and Recycling Services
October 2, 2018
Page 3
is recyclable through methods such as composting, mulching, anaerobic digestion and co -
digestion within a wastewater treatment facility.
Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383) was signed into law on September 19, 2016. The law established
targets to achieve a 50% reduction in the level of statewide disposal of organic materials by 2020
and a 75% reduction by 2025. Both CalRecycle and the California Air Resources Board have
been assigned as regulatory and enforcement agencies and are involved in the informal
rulemaking process, which is currently underway. SB 1383 will have significant impacts on solid
waste management throughout the State. For example, SB 1383 requires all residents and
businesses that generate food waste to divert the food waste beginning January 1, 2022. It also
requires the City to require mandatory diversion (recycling) of food waste via an ordinance or
other means, by January 1, 2022. This is one of the first municipal contracts that has been
competitively procured that will provide the new and expanded recycling programs required by
SB 1383.
To ensure the City is in compliance with the new requirements, the contract includes mechanisms
by which the City can implement new programs, if necessary and at the time the City desires.
The contract also includes pricing for a variety of services and processing methods that may be
necessary in the future given the State's direction in current legislation. Using this approach, the
City will be able to select any programs required to meet State requirements at a future time
without modifying the contract or increasing costs beyond those provided in the competitive RFP
process.
RFP PROCESS
The City Council approved the RFP and directed staff to solicit for proposals at their March 20,
2018 meeting. The RFP was issued and a mandatory Pre -Submittal Conference was held on
Monday, April 2, 2018. At that meeting, all potential proposers were asked to sign and submit a
document stating they understood and agreed to follow the RFP Process Protocol approved by
the City Council. Proposers were invited to submit written questions concerning the RFP to the
City. The City responded to all questions submitted and also made certain revisions to the draft
contract contained in the RFP, to certain proposal forms, added one proposal form, and made
changes to the schedule for the RFP process, via issuance of five Addenda to the RFP. The
RFP and the Addenda are attached to this report.
DISCUSSION
Two proposals were received in response to the RFP on June 18, 2018. Waste Management's
proposal is Attachment 3 to this report. CR&R's proposal is an Attachment to the City-CR&R
contract in Attachment 2. As noted above, the evaluation of the proposals was completed by the
Ad Hoc Committee with support from staff, consultants and the City Attorney.
Proposal evaluation was completed in several phases over a period of three months.
Phase 1 Each proposal was reviewed to ensure it met the minimum requirements of the RFP
and was considered responsive. Both proposals were found responsive.

Phase 2 Thorough analysis was conducted of each proposal addressing each evaluation
criterion listed.in the RFP (see the chart below and Attachment 1 for a list of Evaluation
Criteria that were included in the RFP). Questions to each proposer were written,
compiled and submitted to the proposers in order to clarify items in their submittals.
CR&R received three sets of questions and Waste Management received two. Both
proposers submitted timely responses to all questions.
Phase 3 The Ad Hoc RFP Evaluation Committee met two times to discuss and compare the
costs, each company's approach to diversion programs, and to discuss each proposal
in light of the evaluation criteria provided in the RFP. The Ad Hoc Committee also
further analyzed and discussed the strengths and weaknesses of each proposal. Staff
contacted references for each firm and relayed the results to the Ad Hoc Committee.
Phase 4 Interviews were held on August 17, 2018 with each proposer: Waste Management in
the morning and CR&R in the afternoon. Each proposer was asked to make a 30 -
minute presentation summarizing their proposal, qualifications, experience, proposed
approach, etc. Then specific questions were asked of each proposer team to further
clarify points in the proposal and to learn more about each proposer team and their
approach to fulfilling all the contract requirements.
Phase 5 The Ad Hoc RFP Evaluation Committee met again the week after the interviews for a
final discussion and to make its decision about which firm to recommend.
The following table summarizes the results of the proposal evaluation by the Ad Hoc Committee.
It is divided into the nine sections of the Evaluation Criteria contained in the RFP. A more detailed
description of the components of each proposal applicable to each of the sub -categories of
Evaluation Criteria in each section appears in Attachment 1 to this report.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
The Ad Hoc Committee found that both proposers have the financial capacity and technical ability
to perform the basic collection of trash and recyclables as has been done in the past. However,
the change to 75% diversion from 50% in the past will require a profound industry transformation.
Due to the changes in state law described above, this contract requires a new approach and the
implementation of many new and enhanced recycling and food scrap programs for all ratepayers.
That requires innovation, creativity and enthusiasm for fulfilling all of the requirements contained
in the City's contract.
The Ad Hoc Committee is recommending that the contract be awarded to CR&R for the following
reasons:
1. Lowest overall proposed costs/rates.
2. No exceptions to the contract.
3. Approach to diversion program implementation was precise, well thought out, fully
coordinated to the requirements of the Scope of Work in the contract and the overall intent
of the contract.
4. Deep and broad history of successful marketing of diverted recyclables, including
anticipating and successful resolution of the current tightening of China imports
restrictions. Demonstrated development of additional export and domestic market outlets
for the full range of recyclables identified in the City's contract.
5. Specific phased plan for the introduction of technology including Smart Bin, on board truck
scales and advanced lightweight truck manufacturing design.
6. Demonstrated a consistently enthusiastic approach to implementing all required diversion
programs in the proposal, responses to questions and interview.
7. Ability to quickly obtain decisions from local senior management.
The Committee found that the Waste Management proposal would not be the most beneficial
to the City and its ratepayers for the following reasons:
1. Exceptions to the contract (18 total, many shifted significant cost and market or legal
risks to City)
2. Proposed costs/rates are higher.
3. Less specificity regarding operational details for on -the -ground program
implementation and less experience with in-house Recycling Coordinators providing
on-site program implementation at businesses and multi -family complexes.
4. Concerns about the mixed message Waste Management conveyed regarding its ability
to market a wide variety of diverted materials and how it is obtaining new markets to
replace Chinese markets, which contradicted the contract exceptions that shifted

financial risks and cost arising from the a lack of markets to City/ratepayers; and in two
contract exceptions that could excuse failure to perform if there were no markets for
recyclable materials (proposed change in definitions of `Recyclable Materials' and of
`Force Majeure".
5. No immediate or definitive proposed use in Tustin of Smart Bin technology.

Based on the findings listed above, it is recommended that the City Council award the attached
contract to CR&R.
