City of Santa Ana Proposal to Provide Solid Waste Consulting Services <br />RFP NO.: 18-006 <br />In addition, Mr. Hilton has presented several papers to industry organizations on the subject of <br />how to develop sustainable funding strategies that support a zero waste system. These papers <br />are the result of research and projects conducted by HF&H on behalf of clients like the Alameda <br />County Waste Management Authority, Monterey Regional Waste Management District, Kern <br />County, the City of San Diego, and Sonoma County; all of whom have high diversion goals but <br />fund their programs largely off of landfill disposal <br />Funding Strategies for High Diversion/Zero Waste <br />Mr. Hilton has lead Statewide efforts to create a new, sustainable business model for recycling <br />and waste services that assures more financial stability for both ratepayers and service <br />providers, while maintaining the service provider and generator incentives required to achieve <br />higher levels of diversion. Working with leading service -provider public agencies like Santa <br />Monica, Santa Cruz County, San Diego, and the Monterey Regional Waste Management <br />District, Rob has created contextually appropriate strategies for de -leveraging waste -based <br />funding sources, diversifying funding sources, creating Proposition 218/26 compliant funding <br />sources, and ultimately providing greater stability for both ratepayers and service providers. <br />In addition to work with public agency service providers, Rob has worked with other <br />high -diversion and zero waste communities like Fresno, RecycleMore, and <br />StopWaste.Org to create sustainable franchise compensation and rate models that <br />encourage high levels of customer participation and diversion. In the past several years, <br />developing funding for organics facilities has been a key feature of funding strategies that HF&H <br />has prepared for several clients including the Counties of Santa Cruz and San Diego and the <br />City of Oceanside. On January 1, 2018, the County of Santa Cruz will begin the first SB 1383 <br />fee in the State, providing over $800,000 per year in funding for the development and operation <br />of a County -owned organics processing facility. <br />Procurement and Contract Negotiations <br />Mr. Hilton leads HF&H's contracting team in support of more than a dozen communities each <br />year who are either competitively procuring or negotiating solid waste collection, processing, <br />and/or disposal contracts. Rob specializes in working with large and multi Jurisdictional <br />agencies like the City of Fresno and the Monterey Regional Waste Management District <br />through their more complex and publicly -scrutinized procurement processes. He has also <br />excelled in serving smaller communities like the Old Sacramento Historic District and the <br />Golden Hills Community Services District, which have very unique service conditions and <br />requirements. <br />Mr. Hilton has served as either HF&H's Engagement Director or Manger on more than 60 <br />contractor procurement and negotiations projects. Through these projects, he has <br />managed evaluation of hundreds of cost proposals from companies providing organics <br />collection and processing services and crafted RFP policies and franchise agreements that <br />include provisions requiring organics collection and processing and/or promote development of <br />infrastructure. These procurement projects and franchise negotiations also include development <br />of rate structures, many of which he has designed to provide incentives for organics program <br />participation. <br />April 4, 2018 Page 5 HF&H Consultants, LLC <br />60D-56 <br />
